Right in the feels.


I've met so many of you over the years, it's just been a blast every fucking time. Some of you are my closest friends, even though we might not see each other often. Some of you I feel very close to, and maybe we've never met—or once briefly.

The next couple of days are going to be a whirlwind, and I already know that I'll be an emotional mess. Lots of conversations, lots of activities, little sleep, and an overdose of high vibes.

Remember these days. These are the good old days. Bitcoin will be very normal one day, and nostr will be too. Cherish the little moments. You are here now, and that's what matters. And remember to take care of yourself. And each other.

Love ya'll 🫂🧡

BBC Bristol Radio interviewed a teacher on why school trips are so expensive this morning. In Normieland  just repeating the Newspeak, "cost of living crisis" now qualifies as an answer & first principles thinking on the issue. No deeper exploration required. Maleable NPC logic is heartbreaking.


If I see someone talk about who might be satoshi, I lose all respect for them instantly. Ignore whether we should or shouldn’t, accusing someone of being satoshi puts them at very real physical risk.

There’s plenty of people who want to kidnap satoshi seeking some bitcoin. Don’t set someone up, you might actually get them killed.

Taproot 🤝 Passport

Today we’ve released Passport firmware v2.3.0, with a massive set of new features and improvements. Is it our biggest release ever? 🤔

You be the judge.

https://i.nostr.build/mK7x.png

**Full Taproot support is here 🥕**

Passport now has full support for sending and receiving using Taproot, making the combination of Envoy and Passport a powerful way to leverage the latest and greatest tech that Bitcoin has to offer.

**Verifying addresses just got way easier 📥**

We’ve improved address display based on the Bitcoin Design guidelines, making it easier than ever to verify addresses on Passport! Shout-out to @bitcoin_design for the excellent work on this standard!

Check it out 📷

https://i.nostr.build/53ja.png

**Passport now has full support for verifying and displaying OP_RETURN messages directly on-screen 💬**

Want to send a snarky message to your friends or enshrine a headline directly in Bitcoin? Now you can do it (and verify it offline) with passport!

https://i.nostr.build/X3Pz.png

**We’ve enabled SeedQR exports of the master seed 📷**

While this feature should be used with caution, SeedQR is a rapidly growing standard that Bitcoiners are using to backup and restore their seed phrases. Now you can more easily do so on Passport!

https://i.nostr.build/D3qv.png

**Passport now has a brand new address explorer ✉**

Ever wanted to browse the addresses of one of your Passport accounts on-device? Now you can! We’ve worked hard to make it as easy as possible to navigate and find addresses for verification directly on Passport.

https://i.nostr.build/73l2.png

**12-word seed phrases are here 🌱**

Passport now allows the creation of 12 word seed phrases, and defaults to 12 word seed phrases during onboarding.

Want to learn more about why 12-word seed phrases are more than secure enough? 👇

**Calculate a manual seed phrase checksum directly on Passport 📝**

If you’re an advanced user who wants to generate a seed phrase offline, now you can have Passport automatically generate the final word for you when you import it.

https://i.nostr.build/R3EM.png

**It’s time to name your Passport! 🔠**

Now you can set a name for your Passport that gets synced to Envoy when you pair it, and lets you easily distinguish between different family member’s Passports or your unnecessarily large Passport collection 👀

And much, much more. To get the full list of what we’ve added, improved, or fixed, read the full release notes below.

https://foundationdevices.com/2024/02/passport-version-2-3-0-is-now-live/

Thanks for joining us on this journey as we build and improve Passport, and we hope you enjoy this latest release!

A friendly word to those joining the #Nostr from dinosaur social networks: 🦕

Drop your preconceived notions about what this is. You may have heard things somewhere, or showed up with a built-in bias as to the kinds of things we talk about here. That's understandable, since most people live in a bubble. Chances are, you do too. We also live in a bubble, but one that we created together, mostly over the past year while you weren't here. That's okay, we still welcome you to join us.

Maybe thought to yourself, "Yeah, I'll check out that weird bitcoiner place sometime." but then you went right back to doing whatever it is you were doing, and it slipped your mind. Maybe you actually discovered a client 8 months ago, fired it up, and nobody talked to you or zapped you because you only followed three people and didn't ask any questions about how relays work, what it means to sign uncensorable notes with your own private key that nobody else can revoke, or you never added a Lightning address because it seemed too hard. Then you left, thinking that's all there was, never digging into the ecosystem that was being built all around you, exploring brand new apps running on a messaging protocol that nobody owns but everybody can use, and where you can actually have real-time conversations with the builders to improve your experience.

If this is your first time here, my advice is that you should follow as many people as possible, and actually reply to them when they say hello, drop a 🤙 or a 🫂, and gladly welcome you. Your timeline is not generated by a centralized algorithm that feeds you content to make you feel happy, sad, angry, or confused. Your timeline is plebs, being plebs. Real people enjoying freedom and community, inspired by the potential they see in this new world where would-be influencers have to put in actual effort to get followers, every single day.

We know we're still small. We know the apps don't always work. We know there's a lot more work to be done to build this thing up, and we're doing the work, because we know what the Nostr is worth, not just for us, but for anyone who has ever been alienated from, ignored by, or forcibly evicted from another online community. And we know that can't happen here.

Welcome. We hope you enjoy what we see. 🫂🤙


The most important thing with the #Bitcoin ETFs that most people seem to miss is the rate of accumulation.

The last few $MSTR mega-stacks (over 10k BTC) were 14.6k and 16.1k BTC.

IBIT’s average stack is ˜$200M/day or 4.7k BTC.
FBTC’s average stack is ˜$175M/day or 4.2k BTC.

So every 2 trading days, just 2 of the New Nine are hoovering up what MSTR does in a good month.

But more importantly, the IBIT/FBTC intake is ˜9k BTC a trading day. Mining only supplies 900 a day. So demand from 2 ETFs alone is 10x supply. Supply is going to get cut in half in less than 3 months, which means this demand will be 20x supply.

And this demand is just 2 ETFs. Don’t forget MSTR, Tether, and many more corps are also accumulating, along with nation-states, HNWIs, and plebs.

Plan accordingly.


#Bitcoin rocks!

It looks like Nostr is being organically discovered and slowly adopted by some non-Bitcoiner Brazilian personalities with a huge number of followers that see the dangers of centralized media.

We have all seen the typical Genesis block artwork out there with a big ugly bitcoin logo on it https://up-lvl.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/btc-genesis-block-artwork-canvas-prints-scaled.jpg
Like every true bitcoiner I've wanted to hang it up in my living room to demonstrate how smart I am. although I'd like it to be a little more subtle

A few years ago when I learned how a bitcoin block is structured I thought it would be cool to make a genesis block artwork but instead highlight the different parts of the blocks binary code so it would look more interesting.

This is about as far as I got. I think it looks okay, but if feels like its missing something. and the description text on the bottom feels really crowded 😞

The full capability of the Aqua Wallet is hard to sum up quickly.
Holding and trading Liquid assets, storing Bitcoin savings, Confidentiality with Liquid and payments with stable coins and of course, with Lightning too.

This next generation of wallets to be used for everyday small-business in Latin America will need to consider carefully the balance between offering state-of-the-art assets on different chains with full interoperability Vs. the users' ability to understand the pros and cons of each chain and asset and how to use them most efficiently.

It will be very interesting to see how user education can be made simple and rolled out without the need for in-person explanations.

I committed myself to see if V4V is a valid monetization for being a creator.

If it doesn’t work this year - V4V will be dead for me and only remain a fun gimmick.

NGL being a V4V creator is the hardest mode of being a creator.

If a pleb only values my content for 2sats it’s ultimately on me to make better content so next time he’ll zap 20.000 sats.

I believe by going the hardest way this will ultimately yield in the best result. I don’t know yet what these results will be but I am here for the journey and the revolution.

Now it’s up to me - let’s make V4V fucking work 🫡 🤝 nostr:note1m7zhcqyq75qv5z5v4juw683fpc9hyl7nsvf9antsz5gdac0cl24qcfjhdu

Reaching out is a good idea. We could also edit it, trimming out the fat to create a short sharp mini doc that presents Bitcoin as a solution.


His solution was focusing on family happiness and real world assets with physical property deeds like land, buildings etc right?


True, was the perfect setup to be a Bitcoin documentary I thought. Perhaps we should create a "Great Taking (Hardmoney version)"?


"The Great Taking" movie by David Rogers Webb TLDR : Not only is your money in the bank, not yours, not money & not in the bank, but neither are your stocks, shares, ETFs or any financialised securities.

I'm going to start promoting this because people keep asking for something that:
- is simple & recognisable
- literally anyone can draw in 3 seconds
- is NOT an ostrich
- shows that we're talking about a network
- fits nicely next to our competition's icons (Instagram, X, Facebook, YouTube, Google...)
- Pairs up well with the Bitcoin "B"

Been a good evening to consolidate UTXOs.


This is the way.


I wrote a book.

thegenesisbook.com


A few months ago I wrote this on twitter.

Figured I would bring it back here.

Bull runs tend to make everyone feel like a trading genius so you might be inclined to trade shitcoins.

Here we go 👇

If you're trading shitcoins to make more bitcoin, here are a few things to reflect on you might have overlooked:

If you currently own bitcoin you already have "enough" bitcoin; whatever trading you do for 99.9% of people won't make a difference. Of course, you think you are the .01% because that's human psyche, and casinos would not exist if this weren't the case, so you can probably stop reading.

Trading shitcoins is WORSE than any other kind of trading/gambling: if you subscribe to the idea that bitcoin is a technology for freedom, your trading shitcoins (i.e. giving them liquidity) provides oxygen to the most successful attack (to date) against bitcoin: generating confusion about what it is, and making people believe it's yet another speculative/trading vehicle. If you know this, then you, willingly or not, are participating in exploiting financial and freedom illiteracy.

We are where we put our attention; is your attention on something worthwhile, or is it focused on trading? Even if you just use X% of your attention, are you happy paying a (X%+context-switching-costs) tax to delay the world you want to see just because you want a slightly better position in a hyperbitcoinized world?

Your attention and time are WAY scarcer than bitcoin; are you protecting/respecting these as you do your cold storage?

You probably don't agree with this; otherwise, you wouldn't be trading shitcoins, but I'm writing this on the off-chance that you haven't considered this before and you were just too focused on the "I want more bitcoin" ambition.

TL;DR:

* You are wasting your life-force/energy on something that doesn't improve anyone's life, including your own.
* You are financially supporting scammers creating chaos.
* You are helping delay a tectonic shift in the amount of individual freedom.


Classic.

A full cycle of a #Bitcoin #Pleb minding their own business and DCA:

Every week, come bull or bear, our #DCA daredevil dropped $500 into Bitcoin from the beginning of 2020 to the end of 2023.

**2020: The Year of the #Bull 🐂**

* **Total Bitcoins bought:** 2.5743 BTC
* **Bitcoin price at end of 2020:** $32,193.30
* **Total amount invested in 2020:** $26,000 (52 weeks × $500)
* **Total value of Bitcoin at end of 2020:** $82,876.32
* **Profit/Loss:** A whopping profit of $56,876.32
* **Profit in %: 218.76%** (To the moon! 🚀)

**2021: Still #Bullish, but Hold On! 🐂🎈**

* **Total Bitcoins bought in 2021:** 0.5707 BTC
* **Bitcoin price at the end of 2021:** $47,738.00
* **Total amount invested in 2021:** $26,000
* **Total value of Bitcoin at the end of 2021:** $27,242.88
* **Profit/Loss for 2021:** A modest profit of $1,242.88
* **Percentage Profit/Loss for 2021 only:** 4.78% (Not bad, but where's my Lambo?)

* **Total value of Bitcoin at end of 2021:** $150,197.61

Through the bull runs of 2020/21, the bear hug of 2022, and the accumulation party of 2023, our DCA hero rode the waves of the notorious Bitcoin four-year cycle. A tale of resilience, patience, and a little bit of crypto magic with 110.46% in profits to show!

With this post, I've tried to demystify Dollar-Cost Averaging and its impact . Feel free to share this with your non #nostr frens.

Cheers and Merry #Christmas to you all!

Instagram is pretty much pornography it this point, would you really want your daughter looking at this stuff and thinking it’s normal? I think the only solution if there even is one is to respectfully call this stuff out, standards have dropped massively and people are finding it difficult to find stable relationships.

Modern day feminism could be another reason why this shit is happening, every girl wants to be a "bad bitch" when in reality they look like a fucking slut, true feminism is actually a good thing, you want women to be feminine, but there’s a balance to it, overstep the mark and you see the stuff you see today.

Then you’ve got masculinity, men need to be masculine, as of right now the majority of men are soft pots who can’t even string a sentence to a girl in public, but yet again there’s a balance to it, over step the mark of masculinity and it’s easy for men to over embrace emotions such as anger, pride and dominance. https://image.nostr.build/59e65d7a45253481882808d9f05a5f20b7286ba0d34232e65872a108bee5a955.jpg https://image.nostr.build/e0abaa47127c564a478c7bdcaa20be9df9f76d212956516f0cfd2a54e9f80be7.jpg


Totally agree. Instagram is slightly less depraved softcore pornography with better filters.

How important do you consider Coreboot is on a dedicated Bitcoin machine?


Fedora is awesome. Felt it was having too many updates for a Bitcoin dedicated machine though and occasionally issues with Sparrow updates. Slower LTS Debian bases played friendlier so ended up with LMDE.


Hell yeah.

Welcome to the party pal.


Looking forward to seeing what you put out next dude.


I love #Bitcoin & #Nostr let’s put that out there, but this past year I have tried distancing myself from the echo chamber inside the Bitcoin community which is evident for those who have eyes to see.

Bitcoin is a monumental discovery and innovation which could change the course of humanity for the better, but for those you truly believe this is just about money haven’t dove in deep enough, blaming the monetary system, policymakers and institutions for the highly anticipated "fall" of civilisation is cutting it short in my eyes.

Bitcoin & The Internet may be the tool, but what is really required is a new way of thinking about reality, in my eyes this is clearly a consciousness problem, if you want to conjoin ALL of the problems in the world together then look more towards these issues.

Humans have the tendency and desire to explain the nature of reality, we strive for truth and knowledge, whether it be religion, money, politics, economics or science.

We construct conceptualised versions of the world to suit our illusions and beliefs, but the only thing we can truly know that real is this present moment and what you’re doing right now, and once you step outside the box of culture and embrace immediate experience you start to see the problems more clearly.

The world is currently driven by an unconscious society where greed, power, pride, ignorance and envy is rewarded, as Jung stated: “Where love rules, there is no Will to power; and Where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.”

It’s all good having bringing in these new frameworks and models of responsibility to the table, but they only truly work if people are willing to accept them, the world is unable to adapt and change for the better if we are unable to collectively awaken together, cooperation is the key to a species survival.

The main point here is that a lot of humans are asleep and unconsciously living life, this breeds ignorance, with ignorance comes evil. This isn’t some post on how to attain enlightenment because desiring such a thing is a fault in its own means, we need to embrace the power of now and truly live. Life can be tough, but life is beautiful and you just need enough people to see it. That’s where most problems come from.

Spread love people. 😎🤙🖤

Member that time elon was a rich and powerful gobermint titsucker and accepted corn for teslas for like a week and then fudded bitcoin and stopped and people said lightning exists and he was like “dO yoU neEd a MonEy tRansMitTer liCenSe fOr tHat?” and then a year or two later he told everyone Xitter™ would be an everything app and people will do all their banking there and at about that same time lightning companies started getting rugged by compliance demands?

Kinda interesting. If gobermint accepted bribes and stuff this might be a fishy sequence of events. So glad we live in The Greatest Country in the World™ and so this is all just a big coincidence


So many lightning companies are getting rekt right now by compliance, I know first hand.

I think rug risk is up a LOT right now.

If you just keep a balance in a custodial wallet, for zapping, keep it to an absolute minimum and be ready to truly lose it.

If you have more than you want to lose, but not enough to justify on chain fees, consider swapping them for L-BTC on boltz.exchange

Imho


I know bitcoin will be okay, but I do hate to see the chain and network being used for inscriptions.

I would understand if they were documents of extreme importance, such as religious texts, the US constitution, or  legal certificates.

But having the goal of making the world a better place, but instead being in this position is disappointing to say the least.

At work today, heard ongoing stories of three colleagues from a team of 8 in the Operating Theatre talking about their direct relatives with aggressive, and likely terminal, recently diagnosed cancers - prostate x2 in 60 year old men & leukaemia in a 30 year old woman.

Anecdotal but increasingly hard to ignore. Two of them, both fully vaxxed, think a link to the vaccine is likely. They're now highly 'vax hesitant' and have told family members their opinions. The meme is spreading. https://image.nostr.build/f6a5f98839d5fe22c51a71d3ddca28b85f316be995311bdd8a6ad34ee2ad37ca.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1587x1173&blurhash=%23GI%3DZJ-%3DTeIBX.TJOYVEXT.TxbXmM%7Cx%5Bofo0e%3Dt7X-xbVrT0R%25xHsWr%3DW-o%23sVNwt7RPR5W%3DRijES%24WBS%23Rifki%7BVsV%3FnhNHV%40XRX9soWYR*s%3Arrban*f5tRn%25WBsmbbbI&x=5fed83a1caec52368cfb8fe01a738f3a2cfba74c87b66cef2d76f873c2aa4388


After a year of 100% nostr usage I can safely say that I don't have a sick relationship with it.

I was pretty much addicted to Twitter. Scratch that. I was addicted to the hate machine, let's be honest. Nostr hasn't displayed that wall to wall hatred and anger so I don't feel drawn to charge my Id (the Id is kinda sorta the aggression part of the personality) with it.

Consequently, I have a completely different relationship with nostr and it doesn't include a massive time-suck.

Nostr is simply a healthier experience. If you are still devoting any appreciable time to legacy social media, stop. Get some help.

It’s a little different because I got intimidated by Cuban spies for doing bitcoin things in public.

Some may doubt it now, but history will reveal that #Bitcoin is the greatest financial innovation of our time. 📜💡  http://res.cloudinary.com/dfdwyn5dh/image/upload/v1696919928/ltn77vodymk0fqdxrkwc.jpg


When they come to confiscate your #bitcoin but fuck ‘em

https://video.nostr.build/b3816c3921d1d2b53eca0c0c8de0da463d2a0053927a557900e2b588170a9a0e.mp4


Bare Multisig Outputs
-----------------------

Blocks are getting filled with bare multisig outputs and it's an obvious troll from people that hate Bitcoin. Let me explain.

Multisig currently can be done in many ways, but before p2sh (BIP0013), the only way to do multisig was through putting the many pubkeys on-chain. As ECDSA doesn't really let you aggregate keys, outputs had to specify something like "3-of-5 of these pubkeys." The normal UTXOs have the following number of bytes:

p2pkh:25
p2sh:23
p2wpkh:22
p2wsh:34
p2tr:34

By contrast the n in the k-of-n bare multisig determines the number of bytes and it's 5 + 34 * n (my math might be off, but around there). So for 3-of-5, it's upwards of 170 bytes. But that's using compressed keys. For uncompressed keys, you it's 5 + 66 * n or 335 bytes+, and worse, you can put in illegitimate uncompressed keys (keys that are provably have no private key) to add data to the chain

Why does this matter? Because these bytes stay in the UTXO set, which is what Bitcoin software optimizes for because that's how you validate that a transaction is a not double spend and satisfies the conditions of the smart contract that locked it.

What's worse, if the pubkeys are unspendable (uncompressed keys that are not real points on the secp256k1 curve), then they'll *never* be pruned. So the UTXO set grows larger and requires more resources for your typical node runner.

Interestingly, this was how the whitepaper was embedded into the Bitcoin blockchain by putting pieces of the whitepaper pdf in 64 byte chunks through uncompressed pubkeys. Luke's Eligius pool was one of the first to ban such transactions because they were clearly bloating not just the blockchain, but the UTXO set.

That's what these trolls are doing. They're adding to the UTXO set that's not easily prunable, though now, I'm guessing some people will add pruning for UTXOs with multisig outputs that don't have any legitimate keys.

Integrity is priceless. Bold move but feels like the right one for you Joe. Go crush it.


When nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m was CEO of Twitter and Trump was president there were many calls to ban Trump from Twitter. There were many people demanding Trump be removed because either he violated the TOS or because they saw Trump’s tweets as dangerous.

While catching up over kombucha at the Square office, Jack mentioned some of these conversations and how there were compelling arguments on both sides. He asked lots of people what they thought twitter should do. So he asked me about Trump and other accounts, like Richard Spencer’s and the alt-right.

I’m very anti-Trump but I said I thought Jack shouldn’t ban him, because he’d face a shareholder revolt. Everyone said that it was Jack deciding things at Twitter and Mark Zuckerberg for the meta empire, but that wasn’t really true. The real power is in the money and that’s shareholders and advertisers.

I can only imagine what a hard and stressful job it would be to decide what can and cannot be said in the public sphere, as twitter effectively was at its height. It was an impossible job, one which shouldn’t exist. Jack did incredibly good at managing to find balance, and everyone hated his decisions because there was no right answer.

The reason for Bluesky, and now Nostr is to make it so no company or person has that kind of control. That the public sphere that is social media shouldn’t owned or controlled by any corporation or government. When something of value is held together without being ultimately owned by a person, organization, or government, the it is held in common.

What we’re building together on Nostr is a commons. By making it a commons that’s held up by our software and contrbution as users, we escape the trap that caught twitter.

A commons where we come together to make and sustain space.

A commons where we can do business freely without someone who can arbitrarily shut us down.

A commons where groups of users can decide the rules for themselves, and everyone doesn’t need to follow some universal set of opaque rules.


Nice. Fond memories of Kodai. Helped build a community centre near there with other students from Edinburgh Uni. Learned some reflexology in a local hospital too. Fascinating summer. Love to take my family there sometime.


This early morning I woke up far before the alarm. Drove to the Supreme Court in The Hague where I will represent the United Bitcoin companies the Netherlands as a chairman vs the Dutch central bank. After winning the court case against unlawful cost that was put on the sector we’re today standing in court for the preliminary payout. As the Dutch central bank refuses to pay back the unlawful cost. In total we’ll face 10 people from the Dutch Central Bank. 3 lawyers from the most renowned Dutch country lawyers. 4 lawyers of the Dutch central bank and 3 people working at the central bank. You might say this lawsuit is becoming important.


GFY. Zapped you ;)


After using #Nostr for several weeks, one thing that has taken me by surprise is how there are very liberal and very conservative people on here, and yet they both share a sense of community and don't spend all day posting content against each other. Despite differences in political persuasion, they find common ground on here.

Now that I've seen this, I better understand how dangerous centralized control of social media is -- where algorithms continuously drive inflammatory content to users to keep them addicted to the platform. I find it ironic that a censorship-resistant platform is largely devoid of much of the inflammatory content that's present on censorable social media. One may have thought the opposite would be the case.


FLASHING STARTOS TO RECYCLED THINKPADS & DISTRIBUTING AT LOCAL BITCOIN MEETUPS  GRASSROOTS AF. nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll nostr:npub1pfezegswrn8lpt0aerp2hvyhj4lsuzln9kcccs5p7qch2m2sawxsxcelvf

I may have had a few glasses of wine but had an idea to increase the activity and value of local Bitcoin Meetups. It's a synthesis of grassroots Bitcoin adoption components : full node and Lightning node growth, hacking, lowest hanging fruit free market economics & Bitcoin circular economies.

1). Basically, I've tried almost every node project under the sun. Flashing StartOS to old Thinkpads has really impressed me recently however. The progress they've made and near future roadmap is phenomenal.  Listening to CEO Matt Hill preach on the importance of sovereign computing, the homelab revolution and the cloud being someone else's computer seems so relevent right now. StartOS is also MIT licence so completely free to distribute and sell preinstalled.

2). I'm a used Thinkpad geek and can't stop compulsively collecting them. nostr:npub1pfezegswrn8lpt0aerp2hvyhj4lsuzln9kcccs5p7qch2m2sawxsxcelvf Twitter@wtogami (Blockstream/Fedora) has a Used Thinkpad for LN nodes community that's worth a look. Apparently Start9 have just begun selling preinstalled recycled laptops and desktop PCs. I think this recycled niche has great potential and appeal rn.

3) I loosely organise a local Bitcoin Meetup nostr:npub103a6vk43crw497dlaptwfmhctxqu22mwepshjcvvp29fzwrhtx4q675n6p and would love to inculcate and bring to life more full node adoption, self sovereign computing, grassroots local Bitcoin circular economy and community.

ACTION PLAN  :
Local Meetup organisers consider leveraging their position to distribute to interested new Bitcoiners cheap repurposed computers like Thinkpads and Thinkcentres with StartOS preinstalled before password setup. We resell these to Meetup attendees for Lightning base cost reimbursement along with some minor hand holding through StartOS's well documented & refined MIT licensed sovereign computing OS.

It's a low risk, high return educational activity that brings to life the free market principles of Bitcoin circular economies and decentralised computing in the face of the Cloud based Big Brother Final Boss.

FUCK EASY

I'm fed up with easy.
You don't want easy.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and one of said intentions is making things too easy.

Easy is staying on the couch.
Easy is not putting on your running shoes.
Easy is watching the porn, eating the junk food, binging the fucking stupid series.

Easy is not sticking out.
Easy is shutting up when you should be speaking out.
Easy is compliance.
Easy is saying the same thing, thinking the same thing, and liking the same thing as everyone else.

Easy is kicking the can down the road.
Easy is short-term gain for long-term losses.
Easy is starting up the money printer.
Easy is "papering over" failures.

Easy is "This is too hard. This is not for me. Someone else should take care of it."
Easy is not educating yourself.
Easy is not taking responsibility.
Easy is trusting a third party.
Easy is not holding your own keys.

Easy is comfortable.
Easy is not having to think.
Easy is not having to understand.
Easy is the coddling of the mind.

Doing things right is hard. Understanding things right is hard too. As is changing the status quo. But there's no improvement without change, no change without pain.

Fuck easy.

How to operate in a high fee environment:

Level 1 - Lightning Network
Level 2 - Liquid Network (Cold Storage or 2fa multisig)
Level 3 - Bitcoin Cold Storage

Depending on the amount of money we go from level 1 to level 3.

To make the transformation between levels:

LN-BTC to L-BTC (https://liquid.boltz.exchange) (0,1% commission)

L-BTC to BTC (https://sideswap.io) (0,1% commission)

In addition, we gain a lot of privacy in the whole process.


I've now got 100k of liquid sats.

Imagine a company shipping grains of rice in boxes.

One day, a charlatan fools some rice consumers into thinking that rice grains are tastier if first painstakingly ordered by their texture, shape, and color before being packed into the boxes and shipped.

As a result of this procedure, every rice consumer now pays a higher price per shipped box. At least as long as the charlatan is still able to fool people.

The major rice shipping companies are still happy because they get paid more per box. As long as people still choose to consume rice instead of something else. The charlatan is very good at scamming people and even dresses up as a wizard to show how magic his new rice-ordering procedure is.

Suddenly, a new rice shipping company enters the market, willing to call out the charlatan's bullshit and start shipping rice the old-fashioned way, without the pointless rice-grain ordering.

They point out that rice will be more popular in general if normal rice consumers aren't forced to pay a premium because of the whims of a scammer.

The charlatan and his followers call this refusal to play along with the scheme "censorship." They claim that ordering the grains is a "technological advancement."

In the end, the wizard and his rice ordering don't age very well, and people start preferring the new shipping company over the old one.

Season's Greetings. The cognitive dissonance is peaking again.

The last 20 years on the internet has been a story of “network effects” based on vertical integration & user data lock-in.

I strongly believe the next 20 will be a story of breaking down the walled gardens and of power shifting back to users.

Our laptops and phones are more powerful that the servers that powered the original SaaS companies. Running software (using containers and package managers) has become trivial even for the most newb technical users.

The pendulum is swinging back. It's time to free our data and our workflows from the SaaS prisons.

Open, interoperable, and decentralized networks are the future.


Welcome to the party.

This has to be the worst generation of humans ever, people will let TSA scan their face, fingerprint them, get DNA, take 5 booster shots, just so they take a pic of themselves on beach in another country and post it to IG to get 5 likes 🤦🏾♂

Exactly this.


Focus on building local #bitcoin and #nostr communities. It is pivotal to promote freedom of speech and freedom of money. By nurturing these communities, the aim is to create networks where people can transact directly, reducing reliance on 💩 financial intermediaries and fostering self-reliance. Contribute to the advancement of education, adoption, and the preservation of freedom of speech. #Build 🤙

The root problem with conventional currency is all the trust that's required to make it work. The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust.


Freaking awesome mate. Love this.

I am overwhelmed with gratitude.  I will update you all on my V4V journey!  I am now up to $35 in zaps and $61 on Wavlake and I still haven’t played a concert since Lollapalooza 2019.

A while back, this maniac nostr:npub1a6c3jcdj23ptzcuflek8a04f4hc2cdkat95pd6n3r8jjrwyzrw0q43lfrr  told me to check out #bitcoin  and go truly independent.  Here we are with nostr:npub13qrrw2h4z52m7jh0spefrwtysl4psfkfv6j4j672se5hkhvtyw7qu0almy  a V4V tour to Minneapolis.

My return to the stage is 12/21 on V4V streaming and I couldn’t be more humbled and excited for all of this support. nostr:note1mgmkwfq2xj7xckgv5t0pgjdlcl2avzgmzqw9ncpc992wwaw63wrs0am9gx

I'm seeing people on Nostr earn more zaps for posting content in a day than an overclocked S19 Pro. Way cheaper electricity bill too. 99.99% still asleep on this opportunity.


Eegits.

#Amethyst v0.81.3: Shopstr and NIP-88 support

https://image.nostr.build/914bcdceca1ea2b9f6ac205e687ff7860242008d24fa83cfca52b0b8c2e90081.png

This version improves the rendering of Classifieds and adds an option to DM the seller directly in the post. It adds support for nostr.wine's NOTIFY spec (NIP-88) that allows relays to display messages when subscriptions are expired or another payment is requested. We also migrated our block list to the `kind:10000` as requested by this [PR](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/880). We also completely restructured the way events are signed to better support Amber's async calls and slighly improved our performace and data usage in many parts of the app.

Enjoy!

Got my first Raspberry Pi 5
Running an auto-built #Raspiblitz test image on it already, seems really fast.
Swapped the SDcard and the SSD from an RPi4 node. There are no obvious compatibility issues (as expected).

If want to test can try the latest image built from the dev branch: https://github.com/raspiblitz/raspiblitz/tree/dev/ci#ready-made-images-for-arm64-rpi

(most important hint that it needs to be based on the latest RaspberryOS built on Debian12 - the Raspiblitz v1.10 image doesn't work on the RPi5, but the next stable release will!)

Preaching to the choir by the look of it.


Think about where we were just 1-2 years ago guys.

We literally didn’t have this place. This network is obviously still very small in the larger scheme, but I think uts already having a big impact on how information moves particularly in the #Bitcoin space. I’m increasingly feeling like the move to #Nostr from Twitter will mimic the move from Reddit to Twitter back in the 2016-18 era. nostr:note1mel5d84ace660x7xtmynusd6v9d2jljuu7fh4w3nw5fsjexrs6lqzpuvyn


💯Absolutely, primal has realized part of our product ideas in advance and purchased sats through Apple pay. We just donated through Apple pay. The development speed of their team is so fast, and it also helps us verify product ideas in advance, which is inspiring for every client. This is a chemical reaction of a decentralized and diverse client ecosystem that has never been seen before.
