 Any #bitcoin #nostr people in New Hampshire?
#asknostr 
 How long you there for?  I will be traveling through 
 I cannot see the word "break" without immediately thinking of a lady in a green jacket 
 I am generally not a fan of any “sport” where the winner is based on completely subjective opinion.  But there are many established Olympic sports that fit this criteria, so prob this is a “hot take” 🤣 
 Like… show me the person who is able to complete a challenge the fastest, the highest, the farthest, or the most, within a given rule set.  That’s the signal IMO 
 What is “the fit”? 
 nostr:npub1ymt2j3n8tesrlr0yhaheem6yyqmmwrr7actslurw6annls6vnrcslapxnz is too quiet 
 #Bitcoin fixes this 
 ❤️🤙 
 (apparently I’m the only pleb on Nostr that thinks the hug emoji to be creepy) 
 YES

 🤙 
 At least 
 The second best way to spend your Bitcoin is to get a nostr:npub1mea2vwcu06qf7e4x00wd902vj54qnn2j... 
 “alternative to Google Suite” - other than email, what other services stand out? 
 Not surprising… if you’re not going to use actual Excel, you’re better off with  csv files 
 Thanks!  I’m happy with Bitwarden and Mullvad VPN, but perhaps I should check out their contacts/calendar.

I use Apple for those now, which I assume should be more private than Google, but that’s a pretty low bar. 
 If you’re fully bought into any of the big tech platforms, then Apple has by far the best default privacy & security.  Of course there is much nuance & tradeoffs… but Google is literally EvilCorp when it comes to user data.

At least Apple’s business model is mostly around selling hardware. 
 I love that I have no idea what this elon trump talk is about

Don't know don't care byeeeeeeeeee... 
 This note is the first I’ve heard of it 🤙 
 Oh if you’re referring to the Nashville conference speeches then good on you.  That’s old news at this point, so I assumed you meant something within the last 7+ ish days 
 This looks nice 🤙 
 We need small betting on nostr for which miner hits the next block 

That would be alot of fun  
 I’ve always wanted a Lightning betting app for who will mine the next block 
 Oh shit that’s exactly what the OP says lol.  Who made it, where do I find it? 
 Sned url pls 
 Ahh that’s fun.

I want something like Bustabit, but with Lightning, and betting on random shit like who mines the block 😂

https://bustabit.com/ 
 Taking a brief nostr break 🫂 see y’all soon 
 We’ll be here 🤙 
 Hi Nostr! Its been a while. 
 Yo 🤙 
 Good man, the gang misses you :) hope all is well, and maybe see you at TAB? 
 On Twitter, there's a GIF library I can look up for memes in-app, and post them. Sometimes I use ... 
 I too, like the memes 
 What are we looking at here 
 Only zappers, get out of here and don’t look at this note: 

If I could ask one thing of the no... 
 “Custom reactions” translates to image files which need to be hosted on some server - no different from “posting” an image or video on Nostr.

Are you seeing examples of standard emoji reactions which don’t translate between clients? 
 lmfao let me try…

Emoji reactions - can see between clients?  Yes/No

“Custom Image” reactions - can see between clients? Yes/No 
 I think there’s your answer.  First one is easy for all client devs to integrate, second is not.

There could be a NIP for custom image reactions, but standard emojis etc will always be easier to support cross-platform/app 
 Gotcha.  Maybe you already knew and qualified the difference in your OP, pls “tard” me up.

It’s not impossible but probably needs a standard / NIP before clients could consistently consume/didplay those custom reactions.  (This could already exist, no idea) 
 Centralized easy, decentralized hard :)

 You guys are killing it.  GL on the launch 
 I believe Apple/Google servers receive this information before sending the top-level device alerts.

Stay humble and disable notifications 🤷‍♂️ 
 The hyperbolic recommendations being made in some of the original posts… what is stopping ColdCard from adding this probable random capability?

Hardware limitation, or just developer hours? 
 Those posts Aside*** 
 Makes sense, USB is a cluster fuck.

I don’t get it then… how is BitBox claiming to do this securely? 
 Seems like yes, Coldcard and others should implement this… but you’re seriously recommending hardware without a secure element, or even a general purpose computer over this???

Did you comment already on why you think those tradeoffs are worth it? 
 I'm on Nostr now. Checking things out.

 As a poor, I get excited when sats are this cheap. Sorry. 
 Sorry for what?  This is one of the great stacking opportunities of our time 
 Even though our account on X was mistakenly suspended for a short while today, it was nice to see... 
 🤙 
 Oof. Let us hope not sir 
 Yeah.  Just remember they can perpetuate the fiat/clown games longer than you’d expect.

There’s definitely a non-zero chance of global catastrophe in our lifetime… but I truly hope it can be avoided. 
 That is possible.  I’m vaguely familiar with the jobs report, and the Asian market situation.

What are you looking at? 
 People are selling Bitcoin because they think banks might implode?

 Most ppl that own USD don’t understand it either 🤣

 BREAKING: THERE ARE CURRENTLY MORE SELLERS THAN BUYERS 
 I get you fam.  But I think if you list something for sale, you are a seller, regardless of whether it executes.

I guess there’s nuance with limit orders, but at least if you’re close to spot price then the same applies. 
 I bought and build a sauna for myself and it is as glorious as I thought it would be. 
 Wood stove or electric?  I had only really been thinking wood, but @NVK said he prefers electric 🤔

I was also only considering outdoor, but if it’s electric I could potentially put it in the basement. 
 39 🤙

When I was young I had a job that allowed me to travel a ton.  That really boosted my numbers 😅 
 I checked all the “been to” and “swam in” boxes.

There were a handful (e.g. water skiing) that I only did or attempted as a kid.  I am NOT a water skier lol 
 What’s the best way to kill a nest of ground bees?  I think it’s got to be a big nest, or maybe multiple nests, way too close to the house.

#AskNostr 
 lol.  Appreciate it, but I think smelting metals would be a last resort for my situation.l 
 Nostr needs more clients with outbox model support. 
 Can’t wait for notedeck 🤙
