Lets hope primal doesn't start selling data to support opensats.

Thats what im waiting for.. hahahahaha


I called out Primal on this a while ago.
The response? None. Immediately dropped Primal.


At the end of the day, if you have a hardware wallet and it says it generates a seed phrase one time, and one time only, you are the most custodial of custodians.

If you use an app and it says you HAVE TO WRITE IT DOWN OR YOU WILL LOSE ACCESS TO YOUR FUNDS, it is very probable you hold your keys and nobody else does.

If you can just “get started” for free but you are paying additional fees over the appropriate block transaction fees (based on mempool activity at the time) or lightning fees, to use their wallet, you are 100% custodial and if they get shut down or rug, you forfeit everything you held with the wallet. Not safe at all for more than lunch money, and if Bitcoin goes to billions or trillions, you just got rugged for thousands or millions of “today cuckbucks” in the inflated future.

. . : : The Hacker's Manifesto : : . .

Another one got caught today, it's all over the papers. "Teenager
arrested in computer crime scandal", "Hacker arrested after bank
tampering"...

Damn Kids. They're all alike.

But did you, in your three-piece psychology and 1950's technobrain ever
take a look behind the eyes of a hacker? Did you ever wonder what made
him tick, what forces shaped him, what may have molded him?

I am a hacker, enter my world...

Mine is a world that begins with school. I've listened to the teacher
explain for the fifteenth time how to reduce a fraction. I understand
it. "No, Mrs. Smith, I didn't show my work. I did it in my head..."

Damn kid. Probably copied it. They're all alike.

I made a discovery today. I found a computer. Wait a second, this is
cool. It does what I want it to do. If it makes a mistake, it's because
I screwed up. Not because it doesn't like me...

or feels threatened by me...

or thinks I'm a smart ass...

or doesn't like teaching and shouldn't be here...

Damn kid. All he does is play games. They're all alike.

And then it happened... A door opened to a world... Rushing through the
phone line like heroin through an addict's veins, an electronic pulse is
sent out, a refuge from the day to day incompetencies is sought... A
board is found.

"This is it... This is where I belong..."

I know everyone here... Even if I've never met them, never talked to
them, may never hear from them again... I know you all...

Damn kid. Tying up the phone line again. They're all alike...

You bet your ass we're all alike... We've been spoon fed baby food at
school when we hungered for steak... The bits of meat that you did let
slip through were pre-chewed and tasteless. We've been dominated by
sadists, or ignored by the apathetic. The few that had something to
teach found us willing pupils, but those few are like drops of water in
the desert.

This is our world now... The world of the electron and the switch, the
beauty of the baud. We make use of a service already existing without
paying for what could be dirt cheap if it wasn't run by profiteering
gluttons, and you call us criminals. We explore... And you call us
criminals. We exist without skin color, without nationality, without
religious bias... And you call us criminals. You build atomic bombs,
you wage wars, you murder, you cheat, and lie to us and try to make us
believe it's for our own good, yet we're the criminals.

Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that
of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like.
My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never
forgive me for.

I am a hacker, and this is my manifesto. You may stop this individual,
but you can't stop us all...

After all, We're all alike.

Been here since before the first “halvening” and one thing I can say for certain, is: I have never been more excited for an event in my life each time this happens. I think the best way to look at if you’re Bitcoin rich is, how much more Bitcoin do you have above the current Bitcoin subsidy? If you have had 6.25 BTC during this epoch, you were “Bitcoin Rich” 🤑 After today and after the new bottom that proceeds this bull, I’d say the new 3.125 subsidy will make you rich enough to buy a house.

What makes me think of this:

I heard in one of the 164928 documentaries on money that I have watched/listened to that gold has always been able to buy a man

An entire suit (including shirts and accessories like cuff links), a new tie and a new pair of shoes.

I think the then-current Bitcoin block subsidy will always buy you a home and acreage. I think the size of the home and acreage will adjust (probably up) over time, but I think the subsidy will ALWAYS buy you a nice house and some acreage in a modest neighborhood from here on out.


What is this voodoo?! It looks so cool!

Any chance we could get the current block hash or at least a partial of it added? Maybe in a really small font, within the blockclock? Either above or below the block height somewhere?

Would be great to prove something occurred when a screenshot was taken on the page and, for example, written on with an Apple Pencil or similar?


https://void.cat/d/Tvv6ab8NoQTGGreRNu98rH.webp

Crazy I just found a screenshot of these times... crazy that Bitcoin is over $60,000 and people are complaining when I remember this all time high like it was yesterday.


Just happened across one of my first Bitcoin wallet addresses and see that over 500BTC went through it. Lost most of it to playing Satoshi Dice like a total idiot.

Before that, in 2010, I lost over 500 (good chance it was closer to 5000) BTC because I didn’t know what I had when I mined them.

Fml. 🤦♂

I’m glad that we don’t have any propaganda on #nostr ! This place is so clean ! Hope that it’s will be like this..


Imagine you’re a bitcoin company and not nostr lol


Some wallets and clients don’t indicate that the payment is in transition, unfortunately

Only lightning address for the embedded node uses the 24hr system. If you use an external account or remote node you can use another config.

Mailbox will show up in the wallet header on the main view if you have zaps to redeem.


Sending a tx just a few Satoshi less than what is clearing current blocks is masochistic. I don’t know why I do this to myself.

Oh yeah I do, it’s to save hundreds of thousands of sats over the past 14 years and years to come that will someday make sure my great great great great grandchildren each have their own citadel. 😅

#Bitcoin  is how you separate money from State. https://image.nostr.build/ca2b1747e401898abe97036be8578caf0ec53b8f258c31f55032a9af3a78b9bd.jpg


I'll offer an optimistic take on both of your concerns:

1. I believe that most nostr clients will implement some form of outbox support. All Primal clients certainly will. We are literally a few days from releasing a major update. Once users’ notes are spread out over hundreds (eventually thousands) of relays, client devs will be incentivized to upgrade their clients accordingly. It will take a bit of time, but that’s okay.

2. Nostr being seeded with bitcoiners is a feature, not a bug. To bootstrap a truly decentralized network, we need the initial group of users who understand decentralization and are willing to fight for it. There is no other way imho. The short term price we are paying is that the content is bitcoin-centric, but that’s fine. That will get sorted out over time as the network grows.

IMO, we need to lower our time preference and be more patient. Everything is moving in the right direction.

We don’t need a successor protocol. Nostr is the one we’ve been looking for.


I think you are wrong on the second point. I can’t speak on the first, as I haven’t any technical chops.

Bitcoiners are extremely diverse, but the most important thing for a lot of them is the freedom and the ability to transact in ideas and monetarily, without any mediation, or censorship. We/they care more deeply about this than most of the general public and that is what brought them/me here.

Every network has its base and if the network adds value over time, it can bring in other people.

Maybe, the world will never care about privacy/censorship online ever again, but that’s a proposition I will fight tooth and nail over. But I also think if this happens, then there’s no point for nostr or any alternative, because you will never get growth in your user base unless you widdle away everything that made nostr different, until it is unrecognizable from the things you found abhorrent in the first place.

Bitcoiners give a shit about censorship, when most of the world doesn’t. Either the rest starts to care, or we’re fucked anyway.


Keep thinking. Keep sharing. Keep building. #Nostr keeps me coming back now because of the incredible people on here. Devs and non.


Because everyone here is COOL. Duh! 😉

nostr:note1922f6c0jxea6urmve7c2cuduyqpcrvyuwngfrartlve6a5qxzsrsnjy6r5


What say the Nostr community about the fact that every single zap is a taxable event?

Does this not prohibit all law-abiding citizens from wanting to participate in Bitcoin?

There is the Virtual Currencies Tax Fairness Act that was introduced to the House of Representatives exempting transactions under $200, but what about RIGHT now?! Seems impossible to account for every zap and the capital gains and losses on each transaction.

How can a Nostritch stay compliant with the current rules?! This is a mess as it stands. Let’s hope the <$200 house bill passes and soon.


Just reread this note and saw I said cleaner wallet. I meant clearnet wallet. Autocorrect fail. 😂


Forgive me, Nostr, for I have sinned! 😂 😆

I only did it to try to get a quick response to see if I needed to tweak anything to get it to work. 😜

I returned your sats in case someone else needs help testing their set up or something. Greatly appreciate ya for the help!! 🤘


Awesome!!!! 👏 Thank you so much for lending me a hand in testing!!! 🙏

This is an LND instance running on LAN, but accessible via a domain by using a CloudFlare Zero Trust Tunnel to avoid exposing IP of where the machine really is. 😎 Next step for me is to see if I can route it over its tor address via cleaner wallets. I don’t know how that works. #Bitcoin #Lightning #NodeRunner #HackingAwayAtBitcoin #LearningBitcoinHandsOn


It worked!! I don’t know who sent the test amount of 21 twice or if it was from X or here, but thank you for verifying it worked!!!! So cool 😎 Can’t believe my node just received payment from a random stranger on the internet. I freakin’ love Bitcoin & Lightning!!!! And thanks again to whomever sent the test TXs!!!!!! 🤘

Do you think the majority of people even know interest has to be paid on the money the government creates?

Guess if they don’t know that, they also don’t understand that there is no way to ever pay it off because more is owed than has been created at all times.

US Gov is playing a game of musical chairs that they are inevitably going to lose. 🤔


This sounds amazing! Nostr can grow into so many things given the developers to do it.


What does one do if they can’t help but to look at no-coiners as “complete fucking idiots?” Asking for a friend.

Was playing around with #chatgpt4 and ran this thought experiment:

I was trying to see what price satoshis (and bitcoin) would have to be at in order to sustain the median yearly income in the US across the entire planet of 7.9 billion people. (crap, already realized I didn't account for possibly lost coins!!) but anyway... it was a fun thought experiment to do and let ChatGPT do all of the heavy lifting for me. I just kept feeding it variables and my ideas, having it look up stats on bing and set them equal to variables. It was really cool!

I had never used variables in ChatGPT before today, so that's an exciting advancement on my own part. LOL! Anyway, enjoy the nice table GPT4 put together for me!

The Web is taken.

They control your data: Servers can change anything you send at any time: E-mails, medical records, private family pictures, social media posts, orders etc. You won't even notice it. Not only they can change, but you can also create new content as if they were made by you. Your history is written by them.

Servers do too much: They convinced us we don't have enough processing power and moved all the logic from our applications into servers. Even though a phone has an equivalent processing power than a single server today, we believe we must use complicated server architectures to achieve anything in the web. Phones are the cloud.

Everything is a rental: You don't own your domain name. It's a rental. Your server is a rental. Your digital certificate is a rental. You don't own anything. Your digital identity is a rental.

Data Silos force you to stay: Moving is too hard. They profit on making things just difficult enough to keep your around. After all, it's just 9.99 a month.

Enter the Verifiable Web

Own your keys, own your content. No one can write for you. No one can change what you write.

Sign everything you send. Every little like, every little key press. If it wasn't signed, it didn't happen.

Verify everything you receive. Trust the signer, not the servers in between.

You decide how data gets to you and where it stays. Your digital history is assembled by you.

Welcome to Nostr


After having a little money for a few years and dabbling in some of the finer things I can tell you that nothing beats an ordinary life.

- Getting a slice of pizza and seeing a movie with your wife.

- Hitting the bar and having drinks and conversation with your friends.

- Hanging out at the park throwing a frisbee around.

- Taking the kids for ice cream on a hot summer day.

- An economy plane ticket to go visit family or an old friend.

- A reliable car that takes you where you need to go.

- A great blanket to snuggle up in on a cold winter day.

If you have these things already, trust me… you are wealthier than you know.

Drinking $1,000 wine and eating caviar with famous people won’t make you any happier. In fact it may have the opposite effect.

As the bitcoin price rises you should definitely dabble in fancy shit if you feel compelled, but once you get a peak behind the curtain you’ll find out pretty quick it’s hollow and meaningless compared to the things that really matter.


Okay! I have Docker and Polar running and updated.

Now to figure out what projects I want to work on with an entire test bed Bitcoin network. Would be kind of cool to run Elements for Liquid alongside Lightning and Bitcoin via Polar. Having direct control over the mining and not having to wait on mining or take all the time setting up all the individual nodes to test theories is awesome and, no pun intended, lightning fast! 👏 ⚡

What should I learn next?! I’d like to get a job in lightning engineering or dev, but either I’m suffering from imposter syndrome, or I’m just really not sure where I’d fit in when I read job descriptions. I’d have to work remotely. Having to go into IRL meetings and/or sit at a desk all day or commute for hours -isn’t for me. 🤷♂

Getting there, slowly! MUCH faster than the SSD server I currently run my node on. Decided to check out #Start9's #StartOS for my second bitcoin+lightning node.

#Start9 #StartOS
#Bitcoin #FullNode #Lightning #Bootstrapping #SecondNodeRunningSoon https://image.nostr.build/7e22e06e00870ca44cbf4edcfbed4d58ba0efa2a79d99e536989b988fb068fe0.png


I actually haven't tried using loop or pool, yet. More things I want to look into once I'm satisfied that my nodes are up and running without hiccups or chance of losing funds. With the horrible iowait times I'm having with an HDD, I'm scared to do much. Just spun up a VM of Start9os and syncing a new node now. Maybe I'll play with loop and pool once it's up and running on my better server hardware. :)

At the moment, I need to figure out how to rebalance my channels, because my ACINQ channel is pretty much receive-only right now less about 18k sats.

I also have one smaller channel that I opened and it isn't being utilized during payments, so I may close that channel and open a new one with a better node. I believe it's the 1ml alpha node - it has good connectivity, but it never routes payments for some reason. Bitstamp and ACINQ seem to be working perfectly, though. Sent almost $1000USD in a lightning payment with no issues whatsoever using those two channels.


Node #2 syncing on my LAN? I think YES. :D https://image.nostr.build/cb66728a00bccc8d4c7189140968c237eae06b914101424c1bea6608189ae5b3.png

What is wss:// ?

What does it stand for and what is the protocol defined as?


Yes, next step is most definitely to move to at least an SSD. Even lightning transactions move at a snails pace over it. 😂

I’d love to upgrade my main server machine to a 2-4TB NVME (the current 1TB is too small with all the stuff I have on it) and host the data folders there over a samba share and 10 gig networking to the node software server. 48 gig of memory on the host machine for the MyNode install if I move it over.

It would be a nice upgrade over the 10 gig of RAM it has allocated now. I didn’t realize it would be so IO-intense! It’s been quite a long time since I last ran a node. Blockchain was probably in the 200-300 GB range, then. Lightning was just invented a few months before that. Lightning is actually what made me run a node last time. I wanted to learn what these “bar tabs” were that they were building on top of the base layer. 😂


Running a Bitcoin Node, LND, LNDHub, Mempool, and an electrum server from a HDD is the stupidest shit I’ve ever tried. 🙄 🤦♂


GOOD MORNING NOSTR, CORRUPT POLITICIANS WILL ATTEMPT BITCOIN BANS, WE WILL MAKE THEM IRRELEVANT. 🫡


How are we at 8 sats/byte? We keep this up, we won’t need layer 2. 😂

All jokes aside, probably just a lull in network activity because it’s the weekend. 🤷♂


7 sat/vB

We are so early


I know I’m not a big zapper (I usually only zap a sat, unless I find something particularly valuable to my life), but I zap everything I would normally like on other social media platforms.

I would zap more, but when you are a father of 4, in a household of 6, with the income we have, we are lucky that we have Bitcoin as a possible (if it goes up 10-20x in the next 5-10 years) “last Hail Mary” because we are screwed, if not. Since COVID, things have been really hard.

Sad to be in this situation considering I was CPU mining Bitcoin in 2010-2011. Of course, I did this instead of SETI@HOME and then my grandpas laptop got lost over the years. Had to have at least 500 Bitcoin in that drive’s wallet.dat. I try to just not think about it. Crazy how much different my life would be with that 500BTC in a wallet still. Of course I would have sold some over the years and lost them to Satoshi Dice (damn you, Erik, you got me way back then!! Didn’t know what I had) but maybe I’d still have 5-10 left over after all of the risky behavior in the beginning.

Anyway, I was digressing; I loved the idea of the tipping bots on Twitter over the past decade, but I’m really loving Nostr and the community feeling like home. It’s so cool to know almost everyone here knows at least a bit about crypto and privacy and everybody is just into all the things I am into as well. Glad we have Nostr as a last bastion of hope in an endless ocean of centralized billion-dollar data stores.


I been taking advantage of it to open a few lightning channels. Consumed maybe 10 TXs the past few days. Nice to get in for 10-15 sats/byte on all of them. Used mempool.space, connected to my node to watch the fees on the prior 3-4 blocks and made sure I was one sat higher than the fees being paid on them. Worked like a charm. Had one transaction get in a block within 2 minutes, for under $2 in fees, actually!


Bitcoin is the ultimate ego test.

You will get exactly as much Bitcoin as you deserve until you can get out of your ego's way of thinking and doing things. :)


Anybody else having a hard time getting away from #bitcoin these days? It's like all I want to do. I am now on rabbit with 8 tabs of streams running... I watch Simply Bitcoin every single damn day. I'm on reddit at least once a day looking at r/bitcoin. I'm playing with my btc/lnd node all the time if I'm not doing one of the other things. IT'S. ALL. I. DO.  I might need professional help. #ZapsForTherapy lololol

The paying is called "zapping"

I zap when I laugh, I zap when I think, I zap when I show a normie how cool nostr is, I zap by accident, I zap for fun, I zap to make someone's day, I zap for absolutely no reason, I zap cause I'm bored, and ya I zap when a post is good

Guess whatever has been broken for me for days now, got fixed with the wallet changes they made over #zapathon. Thanks guys, for breaking it so that my long-running problem got fixed as well. 😂 ❤

Block 835835! :)


In a room, dim and tight, dwelled a man with a digital light,
A single bitcoin, his treasure, his fight,
He watched the world, with keen delight,
As banks and bonds took their flight.

"Ah," he chuckled, with a spark in his eye,
"As empires crumble, and the old riches die,
My coin, my dear, stays aloft in the sky,
A digital phoenix, soaring high."

Once laughed at, scorned, a fool among men,
For shunning the gold, the stocks, the yen,
But he, in his corner, knew even then,
That the tides would turn—just didn't know when.

The banker elite, in their suits and their ties,
Once ruled the world, under moneyed skies,
But he, with his coin, saw through their lies,
A new order, he sensed, would rise.

He hoarded his bitcoin, not for greed or for show,
But for the promise of a world, free to grow,
Beyond the chains of gold, the financial woe,
A world where wealth wasn't the highest plateau.

And now, as chaos unfurled, and markets did quake,
The man with his bitcoin had reason to make,
A laugh that was hearty, genuine, no fake,
For he rode the wave, others struggled to take.

So here's to the man, with his digital shard,
Who saw beyond the present, gazed forward, hard,
In a world obsessed with the immediate reward,
He found his strength, his future, unmarred.

Let his laughter echo, through halls of power,
A testament to the changing hour,
Where not gold, nor silver, but information tower,
And a single bitcoin, can unleash a new power.


Just realized Damus hasn’t been posting my notes for days nor saving them to a drafts folder or anything. Going to have to try to log out and log in again.


Yup, Primal sucks ass. They just locked my 50 sats up where I can’t send or zap them unless I register and activate the wallet. What a bunch of horse shit. I get you can fake data it, but it’s still stupid. KYC is out of control. Why is there a database of Bitcoin owners?! Scary, indeed when 1000 BTC is worth a billion dollars. 😳


Don’t type anything in there and just send some sats to your wallet via receive tab. It’s apparently not enforced. I just sent 50 sats to my second identity and it appears I can take them back out. Testing that theory now. Will report back.


I’m running latest version -1.3.36 from 2d ago.  Not sure. Maybe it’s random kyc or something. Very odd.


I’m using it as of yesterday and I didn’t KYC verify like that. 🤷♂
