 DO NOT ASK WHY SOMEONE WAS BANNED.

ASK WHY IS IT POSSIBLE.

 You love to see it 
 I wish I enjoyed pot, it gives me anxiety.  I do enjoy a mild edible now and then 
 He’s too much of a click bate influencoor… he prob won’t be on Nostr until it’s mainstream 
 Legally speaking, can the Dems run anyone they want now?  Or it’s past the time they can select a new candidate, so they’re stuck with Kamala? 
 🍿🍿🍿 
 I bet he will run for president some day 
 Kamala?! lmfao the clown show continues 
 I am on amethyst and the previous links try to open habla instead of loading inside amethyst, and... 
 Incredibly bullish. Thanks for these details.

Where can I find more about MLS becoming an internet standard?

Very curious if you script and rehearse this type of content?  If you do, it does not come off that way.  Well Job 🫡 
 The shorts are hilarious, I watched this one 5+ times 😂 and just sent it to some Bitcoiner work friends to try to get them on Nostr.

You won’t know if you love or hate standup until you try it, so get out there 🤙

I have quasi-cousin who has been doing standup for 15+ years.  He’s hilarious, and still loves doing it even though it’s never become a full on career. 
 What do ppl recommend for home security system or cameras, without going the Big Brother spyware route?

#AskNostr 
 I’m not interested in doing the whole self sovereign security server system.  I’m happy to pay a company for this service, I just don’t want it calling home to Google and all that 
 You never leave for a week?  Are you also awake all hours of the day? 
 Or maybe you just live somewhere very rural where you know & trust everyone, which is cool.  Im not 
 It’s not cameras which are creepy to me.  It’s the Google and Amazon products which use facial and voice recognition software, etc.

Tradition security cams which store footage and delete after N days, that’s totally reasonable IMO 
 to-do lists

pen and paper or apps

how do you keep track of what you need to do? 
 Obsidian is a whole rabbit whole.  If you want something FOSS that’s more similar to traditional note apps (e.g. Evernote), then I highly recommend Joplin 
 Is there anything like Facebook Marketplace on Nostr?  If you nailed the UX, got rid of ads, that space is ripe for disruption.

I guess content moderation is the real challenge

 Do they have full on shitcoins now? 
 Nostr is open and permissionless. Anyone and everyone can build upon it. Yes, even people that wa... 
 Silver is the original shitcoin

 Dear nostr users and gov’t agencies,

*redacted* 
 I literally just told a C suite they would need to wait till Monday for someone bc of this 🤣🤙

 Both Biden and Trump are kind of retarded. We have known this for a long time.

During the debate... 
 *basedness intensifies*

 So if Authy is cucked (which it clearly is), are we just supposed to succumb to Google Authentica... 
 Of all the Google apps, I think Authenticator is probably one of the least intrusive 
 Very true.  This stuff is so challenging… finding the right blend of security, ease of use, and privacy from the tech overlords. 
 Windows laptop acquired. Life of a non-web dev. So many devices to test on 😅 
 It’s much worse than that 
 Why is tomato, basil, and mozzarella the best salad?

 Is Damus broken? Can’t even open it without it crashing 🤔 
 Happened to me earlier… wish I could remember what note I had pulled up but it didn’t look out of the ordinary.  No issues since restarting the app 
 Robosats is much better than you expect. 
 Isn’t that kind of the whole point? 
 Programmable money (ETH, etc) is hard to scale. So people build Layer 2s.

But these Layer 2s are... 
 This is the general concept of the Fedimint project. It works in production today, but very little adoption… most likely because it doesn’t have a native shitcoin for VC wealth extraction. 
 I believe you can execute any arbitrary code/logic within a Fedimint “smart contract” 
 Long term, we need private money or it just gets traced / taxed / seized by the state anyway.

Bu... 
 Shitcoins are not the answer 
 I am technical, and I spent plenty of time looking into 2015-17 era “alt”-coins.  They’re all junk, and these days the sales pitches and promises are 100x lazier than in those days.

I am not an expert in every “Bitcoin 2.0” but I have looked at enough of them in detail to have an opinion. Their only value is in the casino 
 Ok 
 I don’t have it in me to open the old bird app to look at the Trump shooting takes and conspiracies.  Where to see a decent summary of the popular and also the plausible narratives? 
 Thanks.  Sorry maybe I didn’t do a good job of explaining - I’m looking for articles similar summary of what the mainstream right and left are saying, and then some actually well thought out / reasonable opinions on it. 
 I agree, I am not going to Xitter on this 🥲 
 @Jeff Swann @TheGuySwann I imagine you guys are pretty up to speed.  Any thoughts or recommended content on the Trump incident yesterday? 
 What a fucking bummer to feel passionate about a common cause like #grownostr to come and partici... 
 What scammers?  Actual users or just the normal bots? 
 Holy shit. With all the devs and hackers who use nostr, maybe by exposing the accounts and messages someone could track down who is behind it? 
 All the best then, hope you can find some resolution 🤙 
 Hi @NVK, is there a BlockClock endpoint to show what pool mined the latest block? 
 Oops - @NVK 
 Get him 
 I looked through all the BlockClock settings and afaict this setting does not exist 😭
