After countless interviews, we found that regulation was one of the biggest pain points for lightning companies and startups, but rarely discussed publicly.

Business pain points are very different than the predominant anti-gov bitcoiner views, but are no less important to contribute to a robust and thriving Bitcoin ecosystem, both regulated and unregulated approaches are essential.

One of the coolest emergent properties of a Wikipedia on nostr,like the new Wikifreedia.xyz client, is the fact that people don’t have to agree on what’s the truth and pretend that a neutral point of view is humanly possible.

It’s not “truth by democracy/power/influence”

It’s a savage pursuit of truth at the edges of the network.

It’s the embodiment of “embrace the chaos” https://i.nostr.build/VaPJ.jpg

Anyway, it’s just an idea.


The risk you are talking about is in the event that BTC goes down. It all depends on your expectations in this regard. In consideration of the current expectations about the value of BTC and to avoid exposing yourself to the risk that worries you, you could take out a short-term loan (f.e. 3 months) with an early payment option without penalty.


That is a good idea

Hope you get well. It takes time in this case.


As the article says, this is a change in market dynamics.


I think this time it's more than the halving. I believe BTC is becoming a haven in the face of increased global political uncertainty.


“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” —Theodore Roosevelt


Predictable


I would just listen


For decades, it has been common for people to throw around terms like “voodoo politics,” “voodoo economics,” “voodoo science” and “voodoo medicine” to reference something that they think is ridiculous, idiotic or fraudulent.

But voodoo is an extremely problematic term with a deeply racist history.

INTERVIEWER
Can you tell simply from the style of writing, or the sensibility, if the author is a woman?

DIDION
Well, if style is character—and I believe it is—then obviously your sexual identity is going to show up in your style. I don't want to differentiate between style and sensibility, by the way. Again, your style is your sensibility. But this whole question of sexual identity is very tricky. If I were to read, cold, something by Anaïs Nin, I would probably say that it was written by a man trying to write as a woman. I feel the same way about Colette, and yet both those women are generally regarded as intensely “feminine” writers. I don't seem to recognize “feminine.” On the other hand, Victory seems to me a profoundly female novel. So does Nostromo, so does The Secret Agent.

In case anyone is still confused about nuts or what it means and why we always talk about it (me today haha), here is my know-nothing dummy explanation and why this is a big deal IMO:

Cashu is an ecash protocol(is this correct?) created by nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg

People are calling them nuts because cashews are nuts... get it?

The terminology is irrelevant. They can be called tokens, air, water, chicken teriyaki.. it really doesn't matter! What matter is that this is a Layer 3 payment system that transfers tokens at the speed of light (or so I think). Lightning being layer 2, and bitcoin being layer 1.

The reason why this is a significant development is because now everyone has a cashu address. Thanks to amazing work by the legendary nostr:npub1mhcr4j594hsrnen594d7700n2t03n8gdx83zhxzculk6sh9nhwlq7uc226 , if you go to npub.cash you can see that you already have an address to receive these layer 3 tokens, which just happen to be easily redeemable into lightning. This means that any new person who joins nostr automatically has (custodial) layer 3 payment access, which can swap into layer 2 and into layer 1 and into fiat if need be.

I don't know any of the underlying mechanics of this, I am not a genius like nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg and what I have described could be incorrect, but it sure feels like this is roughly how things work.

Nuts are custodial, meaning a mint is holding your balance and can look up your npub to see if you have some. Once called upon, these nuts can be sent to another nutter (cashu wallet) or directly to a lightning address! This interoperability makes everyone a layer 2 user. All we need is a clever UX toggle / button / terminology to make it really obvious.

IF this were to be turned into a library that devs could include in their client code and "it just works", THEN it could be a game changer! No more directing people on how to get a wallet right as they join. They can experience the magic of bitcoin indirectly via layer 3 > layer 2 transfer all without knowing anything (as long as they can get on nostr).

In practice, this means anyone joining an audio nest, a zapstream, a flare.pub can automatically get paid. Yes, it's just tokens, and yes it's centralized and custodial, BUT, they see the value instantly and are only a click away from digging deeper. It's a STEPPING STONE that makes it significantly easier to get onboarded into the new paradigm.

I have not been this excited since the discovery of nostr itself! If I'm mistaken somehow, or don't understand things correctly, please let me know and forgive my dumbass 🤣 And if this means what I think it means, then let's make magic happen!

🦬 Please welcome my friend Coracle v0.4.3 to the nostrverse.

You can now support development by setting up a default zap split for the "platform" (aka me). Do this at App Settings > Platform Zap Split. The default is of course zero, so this is entirely opt-in.

In other news, you can now create invite links ("Create Invite" under the profile menu) with default follows, relays, and groups. The relays and groups can optionally include a "claim" to automatically grant access. No one currently supports these claims, but I have built a custom relay that does, so please reach out if you'd like to set something like this up.

I've also applied liberal amounts of shellac (thanks to nostr:nprofile1qyd8wumn8ghj7ur4wfshv6tyvyhxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qghwaehxw309ashgmrpwvhxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qgkwaehxw309ajkgetw9ehx7um5wghxcctwvshsqgrmmmmmugka3evlgcqwq3922wsul966nhrayl04svauwldhsjjcq559uwpr  for his design work) — in particular, the WoT indicator is now prettier, and hopefully more useful. Orange arcs indicate people you follow, while white arcs are people you don't follow. The more people who you follow also follow a given person, the bigger the arc will be. I also hope you notice my stroke of genius in orienting the arcs the same way as Coracle's logo.

Madeira with kids — a quick start guide

Everywhere I travel, I end up writing a little guide, whether I'm paid to do so or just for fun — I love sharing these knowing they might come in handy for other people. When I found myself travelling for a few months to the semi-autonomous Portuguese island of Madeira with a child in tow, I knew I'd end up putting together something like this, and as always, it's a combination of recommendations and tips from other people in the know alongside stuff I find out myself. As the title suggests, this is just a brief guide and not meant to be comprehensive, so I apologise if I've left something out, but hey — just make your additions in the messages below!

Overview:
Portugal is exceedingly kid-friendly; people in general absolutely love kids. In Madeira, there are parks with playgrounds everywhere, 99% of restaurants will welcome children with open arms and most have high chairs. My only complaint would be using a stroller in old town Funchal — alas, cobblestone streets were laid long before strollers were invented. Outside of old town, I haven't had (m)any stroller issues, unsurprising, given how many babies and stroller there are on the island.

Car seat laws:
An age- and weight-appropriate car seat or booster seat is required for all children up to 135cm tall or 12 years of age, whichever happens first. The child must be irn the car seat/booster in a back seat. This doesn't apply to taxis, where car seats/restraints are not required at all. BUT it does apply to Bolts (ie. Madeira's version of Uber), if you're going by the book. (I don't know if a Bolt driver would necessarily reject you if you didn't have one though...) Btw if you're staying for longer, I personally do think you should get a car.

Food:
I'm more or less a "granola mom", so this section pertains mostly to organic and direct-from-farm produce. The larger supermarkets in Madeira (Pingo Doce, Continente) don't tend to stock much organic (Continente is slightly better in that there is a dedicated aisle/area for organic items, but it's mostly dry pantry goods).

For baby/kid specific organic food, Celeiro (an organic/health food chain) is your best bet. If you need formula, they stock Holle (supermarkets and pharmacies sadly only stock industrial brands like Nestle). Celeiro is located right in the centre of old town Funchal opposite the main cathedral, at Rua do Aljube 15.

Some pharmacies stock a small selection of Holle baby food, including some Wells, the pharmacy attached to most Continente supermarkets.

For fresh produce, I've tried ordering/buying from growers these two ways:

1) Quinta Pedagogica da Camacha — farmer Bruno takes orders via WhatsApp, DM me if you want his number.

2) Expo do Agricola Ponta do Sol — weekly farmers' stand, and you can register on their website to order online beforehand to pickup every Saturday: (you can join their WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal from their website). expoagricola.pt

Diapers, wipes etc.:
Major supermarkets and pharmacies will have everything you need, unless you need a specific brand.

However, if you need replacements/accessories for reusable diapers, you'll need to bring your own because I haven't seen much of those.

Gear:
Major kid's stores like Zippy and Chicco will have most things you need, from clothes to high chairs to car seats. They're both in old town Funchal (Zippy in Plaza Madeira shopping mall; Chicco on Rua do Bpo 20), and both in the shopping mall MadeiraShopping.

Leroy Merlin, the hardware/home improvement store has a small section of baby proofing items lime gates and electrical outlet covers. Address : Rua do Engenho Velho 4, Funchal.

Kid to Kid near Forum shopping mall is an excellent little shop for mostly second-hand kids' clothes, as well as new and used toys, furniture, and general kids' stuff. Address: Rua do Vale da Ajuda N23, Funchal.

Origem is a fancier baby store (and pre- and postpartum centre and baby spa) in Ajuda (Funchal) if you're looking for higher-end clothes, utensils, strollers etc. Address: Avenida do Amparo 20, Funchal.

Healthcare:
Fortunately, I've not had much experience in this regard, but from what I've read, Hospital Particular da Madeira (a private hospital) has paediatricians and 24-hour A&E. Address: Avenida Mário Soares 143, Saõ Martinho, Funchal.

EU citizens can use the public system like locals (free or low cost), but depending on the issue, wait times are said to be long.

The emergency number is 112 (fire, ambulance, police).

Community resources:
Unfortunately, but for good reason, I'm going to ask you to fire up your defunct Facebook account and join the English Mom's Club in Madeira group. It's the most active easily-accessed moms' group for any questions before and during your time in Madeira, and listings like playgroups and hobby classes. The search tool can also be helpful for past responses.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/616876859250889/?ref=share&mibextid=NSMWBT

If you're interested in Alternative Education (unschooling), get in touch with A Place To Be and join their community for meetups and more (at time of writing, the project is in soft launch)
https://www.aplacetobe.me/

Schooling/education:
I don't have any first-hand info on schools — at time of writing my kid(s) aren't school aged, but I've seen some posts on English Mom's Club about it, so have a search there to get you started.

Parks:
There is no shortage of parks in Madeira, and I've barely scraped the surface — I'm pretty sure that wherever you choose to stay, there'll be a good park nearby. Some to start you off: Santa Caterina near the centre of town, big grassy area and swings that face the harbour — best seats in the house! Decent duck pond and cafes (one at the duck pond and another out further on the edge near the cruise terminal). Nazaré, a more modern urban park with its own parking and a neat little cafe overlooking the play area. Ajuda, basketball courts, kids play area, grass, and a dog park all in a neat package. Garajau, out east in Caniço, with giant slippery slides for big kids (and adults!) as well as the usual kids stuff and a cafe too.

Dear nostr bro’s you can hit me up about your feelings.

Hodling bitcoin is fucking hard. Overcoming childhood trauma is fucking hard. Being responsible for a family is fucking hard. Living under the surveillance state is fucking hard. Getting to the gym everyday is fucking hard. Eating right is fucking hard. Knowing who to listen to is fucking hard. Getting ahead in your career is fucking hard. Sticking to your principles is fucking hard. Making friends in adulthood is fucking hard. Dealing with the death of parents is fucking hard. Trying to claw your way out of nihilism is fucking hard. Life is fucking hard.

Sometimes you just need a bro to listen. nostr:note1tcyesknnwndgc4p493kzclen5yh7yhajutdpxrft3rhw2dtd2rvs20hxj5

Creators are going to LOVE what we're building here. They're going to use Nostr and not even realize that they're using Nostr. All that they're going to know is that they're putting out content, connecting with and engaging with their community, and they're getting paid for it in the hardest asset that the world has available. This tool launching with the #Bitcoin bull run is not a coincidence. It's destiny.

Can NOSTR be used to coordinate social services for people experiencing homelessness? We sure think so.

We have an ongoing project at PathCheck to develop an entire Nostr-native collaborative case management tool for social services that focuses on the homeless community. The goal is to break the data silos each providing agency has and help medical and social personnel from separate organizations collaborate in the same "patient" record. We are actively looking for funders and supporters to start building the tool with our partners on the ground.

If you agree that the government won't solve this issue, this is your opportunity to get involved and prove that grass-roots movements can do better. Please consider a donation, like, share, and even volunteer to work with us. We have a small but dedicated team and boots on the ground to make a real impact.

Some time ago I was asked why I write. I gave a rational and planned response. It's curious how when reading others, how love for some subject of those others, can generate self-awareness. I write because I need to, because it is the place where I can be completely free, express the sensitivity that I normally cannot or do not want to allow myself to show.

A metaphor, of course. Take the lesson and continue your life.


Actually, it was one of the most dramatic and darkest day in the history of #Kazakhstan: the regime not only killed bitcoin mining but gave the order to shoot peaceful protesters without warning. Over 10 000 peaceful protesters in more than 80 cities were arbitrarily arrested. We identified over 200 people were shot, including 5 y.o. children…

Together with our network of 10 k human rights volunteers we were documenting mass shootings and torture after president Tokayev employed Russian troops in Kazakhstan.

Some of our activists were arrested because of weaponization of banking data: regime precisely knew who was getting our support or donated us to in support of victims of political repression.

It takes 3-5 min for Kazakhstani special services to block your bank accounts if you fundraising or donating to opposition or human rights defenders to support victims of oppression.

We asked #FATF and U.S. State Departament, European Commission and legislators if they are aware about the scale of repression and financial exclusion as a consequence of abuse AML/CFT laws? No one actually was aware about it.

So we testified that those activists who used #bitcoin p2p transactions are safe till now. But this is a reason why Kazakhstan at the front to fight against p2p transactions right now. And this is a reason why we don’t want to allow democracies to label bitcoin with illicit activities in the regulations.

When regime kills freedoms, it means they kill real people. https://video.nostr.build/a03d320f7b84fa9db1e67438bc0c3814b3a0ed5503a89ca3402a918a17f0b993.mp4

MIT researchers demonstrate rapid liquid metal 3D printing technique

RIP Alexei Navalny.

The US/UK should free Assange, free Ulbricht, pardon Snowden, and double-down on freedom as a contrast. They won't, but they should.

Russia is way more politically controlled and censored than their western counterparts, but if the western counterparts were smart they would emphasize this fact rather than lean more into being even half-like Russia.

#india has decided to ban proton mail.

keep fighting the good fight for privacy rights. from what i understand the service is still accessible over #tor. note: if it still doesn't work, try switching the routing until you get an exit node that hasn't been banned.

use orbot on mobile + tor browser on mobile and desktop. i also recommend using an always-on quality vpn like #mullvad.

https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/gadgets-news/government-to-block-protonmail-after-bomb-threat-company-responds-to-india/articleshow/107712785.cms

you can find both apps in app stores, but i highly recommend getting the mobile apk versions here:

https://github.com/guardianproject/orbot

https://torproject.org/download/#android

and install them and keep them updated with #obtanium here:

https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium

Hey 👋

We are doing fundraising campaign to defend #PoW against over-regulation/ban in the EU.
https://geyser.fund/project/defendpow

If you could support our work/repost, we will be very grateful 🫶⚡


Anyone who spends a lot of time dedicated to a specific path of learning will eventually be proficient enough to be able to humiliate someone not in that field. We cannot all be experts in all fields. Remember that when someone asks a really dumb question, they might know far more than you in other areas and provide you an opportunity to learn. Be open. Stay humble. Don’t judge.

#humble


It is all about privileges and instruments you have in your hands to defend your life, close to your people, or your peaceful environment, home where do you live. If you don’t defend them, but enjoy your freedoms - it means someone did this job for you.

My 15 years of experience in human rights gave me painful lessons that all freedoms have to be defended or better to be preserved from abuse, and reality doesn’t care if you admit it or not.

In democracies you have more chances to defend/preserve your freedoms in easier and safe way. In case of political prisoners or victims of torture of dictatorships - political pressure of democratic institutions is the only chance to save imprisoned activist’s lives.

In dictatorships even like of the post in social media can cost you a life. Same can happen with bitcoin, especially if democracies label it in the regulations with criminal activities.

#bitcoin as a technology doesn’t need me or you. But it was created by freedom fighter Satoshi #Nakamoto to support freedom fighters. In solidarity I don’t want to allow to some lazy privileged individuals in democratic countries to ban/label #bitcoin or #PoW with any illicit activities/threat to security at the early stage of its existence.

In democracies I can safely explain to regulators that it is an enormous mistake of  privileged people, who don’t know what is financial exclusion in practice and forget that technology is always should be evaluated as a neutral tool. It can be used by bad and good actors. But it doesn’t mean that legitimate actors should suffer.
And those whom I met from regulators agreed with me and our recommendations, both in US and EU. That is why I want to continue my work in defense of neutral language to bitcoin and PoW as technology in democracies.

I cannot do this in authoritarian states.

I experienced what does it mean being financially excluded due to coordinated attacks of three dictators in the very heart of EU, in Brussels. Also just as my colleagues activists in dictatorships - we need both bitcoin as the only  financial tool we have rights now and both political support of democratic governments who help us to release political prisoners.

I didn't see them like that. You are right when they are open they are splendid.

Many libertarians are closet conservatives. They pretend to be socially and fiscally open, but in practice they aggressively simp for social conservative dictators when given the chance. Their entire vibe changes and becomes more obviously conservative sometimes after lost elections.

That's a reason why they have limited support to begin with; a lot of people that might otherwise support their views kind of sense this vibe ahead of time and then it indeed plays out in practice.


India banning Proton Mail is why we are here

Good morning 🌻💜🫂


It’s been days since we’ve seen the sun and then this happened… the sun sank below the cloud bank and lit everything up… and kept going so it’s also the first sunset I’ve seen in 5 weeks. that’s the shadow of Coulman Island. All this is at around 72S in the Ross Sea. Oh and there were indifferent seals lounging on the sea ice right in front of us. Almost the entire team was out  getting cold taking photos and then warming up on the bridge. Our planet is spectacular and precious.

Most #nostr clients still suck in terms of discoverability. But they don't have to.

They don't have to because we have all the right building blocks already, we just lack courage to steal. Yes, STEAL. I'd encourage everyone to steal—not copy—what other clients did well. In the spirit of "good artists copy, great artists steal."

Let's take a web-based reddit client for example, one that still works (sometimes) despite all the horrible API changes: https://www.popular.pics/

If you visit that site in your browser, you'll be greeted with something like this:
https://image.nostr.build/768d8abba5847b4a619bf66ade8d62f5a98db8adc95b833218d3904d69eab4ef.png

It's a viewer that supports multiple subreddits by default. You open it, and it just works. It has sensible defaults. (Important!) It defaults to multiple subreddits from the get-go. Subreddits that are visual, i.e. subreddits that have users posting visually pleasing images.

You can change these defaults easily, and the URL will update accordingly. This one is for subreddits concerning #nostr #bitcoin and #memes for example: https://www.popular.pics/reddit/subreddits/posts?r=nostr,bitcoin,memes - easy to share & easy to see what's going on. Steal this. Please.

Of course, if this is a nostr client (and if you're logged in) this should default to your personal web. The people and hashtags you follow; the communities and relays you are part of, etc. Bonus points if you implement an "expand" button which will expand your personal web by one degree, i.e. shows "friend of a friend" kind of stuff. Not only people you follow, but people followed by people you follow. Another click and it's two degrees. You get the idea.

Back to the interface, and the problem at hand: discoverability. As you can see, every image card quite prominently shows the subreddit it was posted the as well as the user who posted it.

https://image.nostr.build/b4b39eb8db7a48565ffaced92a83628c702e77b72ef495b5d58e1ae68fab60f4.png

Apart from the beautiful masonry layout (did I already mention that you should steal this too?), that's the one thing I like most about this image interface: it's so fucking easy to discover stuff. You click on a subreddit, and boom, you see all images from this subreddit.

https://image.nostr.build/a459579a73aa7173b8dc2f15d3cdef71d27663eab06ce5c92af36a07430da53d.png

You click on a username, and boom, you see all images from this user.

https://image.nostr.build/5d6aa1655d4a089b07915381d6f906648aba91f99ca694d6efede1b652b795ed.png

You will discover new subreddits via the "user" view (most users post to multiple subreddits) and you will discover new users via the "subreddit" view (most subreddits have posts from multiple users). You can spend DAYS just clicking through stuff, and we could do the same on nostr with #hashtags (or NIP-72 communities) and usernames (yay, we have those).

Even more, you could go from user to NIP-05 provider, which basically gives a list of users under a single domain. Or you could show what kind of actual lists (NIP-51 lists) the user is part of, so you again have a list of users which you could use as a base for your exploration, populating the grid view which is the base of this image client. And again, because this is nostr, we get a "ghost" mode FOR FREE. You can use someone else's npub and look at things through their eyes. Some clients implement this quite well already. Most people have no idea that this is possible (because we suck at discoverability, including discoverability of features).

Pinstr is ALMOST there, but it takes like ~5 clicks to get to a hashtag (and it doesn't always work for me). Slidestr has potential and is also ALMOST there, but again, it takes like ~3 clicks to get to a profile and open it in Slidestr and you have to know exactly what you're doing, which isn't exactly discoverability-friendly. Same for hashtags, which are even more hidden, as as you have to open an almost invisible menu at the bottom of the image view.

Don't get me wrong, I love what we have. But we shouldn't be afraid to steal what other clients did well in the past, especially stuff that has been around for a long time. To me, the popular pics client is near perfect. No pop-ups. No modals. No unnecessary clicks. Everything makes sense and is in the right place. It doesn't waste space and is beautiful to boot.

I think we're very close to greatness on many fronts, and I hope that—with some technical improvements that are around the corner, as well with some help from #nostrdesign—we can finally kick some ass in the discoverability department too.


The best

Crazy story. I didn’t know Air New Zealand completely closes their checkin desk an hour before departure. I arrived 57 minutes before departure and they were nowhere to be found.

I was worried I’d missed my flight, but I had an idea. If I could get to the gate they could print me a boarding pass and check my passport. Then I had a chicken and egg problem. If i was on the air side of security I’d be able to travel, but I couldn’t show my ticket that I didn’t yet have.

I quickly looked for and booked a miles flight a few hours using miles on American. I checked in and was able to go through security. They were wondering why i was going in to the wrong terminal, but let me through. I then cancelled the ticket I had already checked in on.

Once I got to the Air New Zealand gate for the Auckland flight they were happy to print my ticket. The only downside was i had to leave a knife i was given as a birthday present. The info desk said they’d turn it in at lost and found and i can have someone pick it up.

I’ve done the book a ticket, check in, go through security, and cancel it without flying a few times. Mostly to say goodbye at the gate or greet someone arriving at the gate. Just like you could when I was a kid. This is the first time I did it to catch a flight after check in closed.

Anyway, now I’ll be home tomorrow.

Poem by John Drinkwater (photo by me):

Blackbird
He comes on chosen evenings,
My blackbird bountiful, and sings
Over the garden of the town
Just at the hour the sun goes down.
His flight across the chimneys thick,
By some divine arithmetic,
Comes to his customary stack,
And couches there his plumage black,

[rest in connected toot]

Violent crime is dropping fast in the U.S. – even if Americans don't believe it

📣 Announcement time! 📣

As you might have guessed (from the photos I keep posting, mostly), I really love the place where I'm fortunate enough to live. It's a small town in northern Italy. We're surrounded by 3000m peaks, Lake Como is a short drive away, and the people are warm, welcoming, and hard-working.

My wife and I moved here 14 years ago with no more expectation than trying to figure out how we could live in the alps to climb and ski right outside our backdoor. Over those 14 years, Valchiavenna has become our home.

For a long time, I've been plotting and scheming about how I could give more back to this community that has given me so much and over the last few months, with the help of many local friends, all the pieces have started to come together.

Bitcoin Chiavenna is aimed at building a stronger Chiavenna using Bitcoin but; more broadly, it's a project focused on exploring how small, often marginalized, rural communities can benefit from adopting Bitcoin.

Chiavenna is the perfect petri dish for experimentation. We have local hydro power generation (run by a local coop). We are a stone's throw from Switzerland, which brings both tourism and shows local government how sane (and very minimal) regulation of digital assets can be beneficial. And, unlike many small towns in Italy, we have a large population of young entrepreneurs who haven't bailed for the big city and have started dozens of local businesses.

My hope is that our education and our learnings will be beneficial for other towns across Europe and North America. Many of whom, facing the death of their traditional industries, are having to find new ways to thrive, and do so without becoming wholly dependent on the central government for handouts.

I grew up in a small town. I live in a small town. I want to see tens of thousands of vibrant, wealthy, interesting, weird small towns across the planet. And I want them all to run on Bitcoin.

If you're with me, I'd love your support. We've just launched a Geyser project to raise funds for the first phase of several projects. We've got some cool rewards listed there, with more coming in the future.

And if anyone is coming through the area, let me know. I'd be happy to show you around and help you leave a few sats behind at local businesses!

Onwards and upwards! 🏔🚀

My best wishes! Love the project! Please keep us updated.

We are at a point where serious matters are not taken seriously enough, while trivial matters are dissected as if everyone's life would depend on it.

Society has lost wisdom and humor alike.


The wider-than-normal divergence between loose fiscal policy (which is stimulating) and tight monetary policy (which slows things down) contributes to wider-than-normal divergence between the performance of different economic sectors.

In particular, it results in a wider-than-normal gap between sectors that are directly or indirectly on the receiving side of the deficits (eg business that rely on spending from upper and upper-middle class spenders) vs those that are the most sensitive to interest rates and thus are the most hurt by tight monetary policy (eg commercial real estate).

And because some sectors of the economy are doing great partially due to the fiscal stimulus, it makes it unlikely that monetary policy or other assistance will arrive to the weaker areas any time soon.

And then ironically, because public debt levels are high, tight monetary policy *contributes* to looser fiscal policy by increasing the overall interest expense of the government, which goes to various entities in the economy and strengthens some of the sectors that are not sensitive to interest rates.

This is a condition known as fiscal dominance.

My first Twitter account was in 2007. For a change, I lost the password and opened a new one in 2009. I liked it better at the beginning. I remember that the first time I complained about something was when they decided to change ⭐ to ❤, not only because I considered it a move to be similar to Fcbk, but also because I am sure they didn’t measure the long-term consequences of that change.

Thanks for sharing the video. Love to be here 💜 nostr:note14k5kd2yt2yeth7kvxet5tcjvmdyleepw3w0rt6z6cr56l42u0ntqwxp0px

Before I go, here is a note to the developers: please be alert to gender bias. As a user of other platforms, I have experienced them on several occasions, in advertising and even for a simple translation.

Good morning ✌🧡💜


CALLING MY FRENS!

I would ask that you follow nostr:npub12pl4h7pk0svg8ug4mhu7a90hn6nf83eqadd94pccgsafn73s392qpt42wq and that you ask your people to follow it as well.

I started this account for my friend Texas Slim because I knew his crew did not have time to do it themselves. nostr was new (still is) at the time and I was already all in and knew how to work the thing. I told Texas Slim I was doing it for those reasons so he is not in the dark on this.

I have only been posting verbatim what TBI's Twitter account has been so as to respect their marketing etc. but the time is coming when I need to turn the keys over to Slim and his producer, June (the posts are beginning to get questions and I am not about to start answering out of turn).

When I turn those keys over I want to place in their hands a freedom account with at least 1000 followers and a rowdy bunch of activity: replies, reposts, and likes. If I turn over an account full of "meh" then the chances it remains as vibrant as it is (585 followers so far) decreases.

The Beef Initiative is something I have been involved with since Texas Slim published The Harvest of Deception: https://producers.beefinitiative.com/blog/the-harvest-of-deception  He was the first person I called a friend after I moved to Canyon, Texas and that friendship solidified my passion for soil, ranching, land management and my sense of the sheer Glory of God's Creation.

If you are reading this then hit the Follow button: nostr:npub12pl4h7pk0svg8ug4mhu7a90hn6nf83eqadd94pccgsafn73s392qpt42wq,  and make a post asking others to do the same. It don't cost ya nothin'.

Let's build this thing into a major nostr property that the TBI will be proud to take possession of, continue to steward, and help propel the nostr community into the future.

Can I get help from nostr:npub1el3mgvtdjpfntdkwq446pmprpdv85v6rs85zh7dq9gvy7tgx37xs2kl27r (Hellthread Queen -- you know what to do), nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx, nostr:npub1guh5grefa7vkay4ps6udxg8lrqxg2kgr3qh9n4gduxut64nfxq0q9y6hjy, nostr:npub1cjw49ftnxene9wdxujz3tp7zspp0kf862cjud4nm3j2usag6eg2smwj2rh, nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn, nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs, nostr:npub10chlkc62tk7yr5m9qjc2u7rs3ufhhrq8yukeey0c5lysqkp2gumq93mnex, nostr:npub1xy54p83r6wnpyhs52xjeztd7qyyeu9ghymz8v66yu8kt3jzx75rqhf3urc, nostr:npub1key55ax33gkl50uqemvl4khrtqrhzm7wzpc7fhseutt5ddkcwcrqgxlt3h, nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s, nostr:npub1hu3hdctm5nkzd8gslnyedfr5ddz3z547jqcl5j88g4fame2jd08qh6h8nh, nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m, nostr:npub1z4m7gkva6yxgvdyclc7zp0vz4ta0s2d9jh8g83w03tp5vdf3kzdsxana6p, nostr:npub1lrnvvs6z78s9yjqxxr38uyqkmn34lsaxznnqgd877j4z2qej3j5s09qnw5, nostr:npub17u5dneh8qjp43ecfxr6u5e9sjamsmxyuekrg2nlxrrk6nj9rsyrqywt4tp, nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6, nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424, nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc, nostr:npub1kyeml3tma4su8yw5aru48wgxclchp8zr3kguwhakmtmegjw40zws82sfjk, nostr:npub1aeh2zw4elewy5682lxc6xnlqzjnxksq303gwu2npfaxd49vmde6qcq4nwx, nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z, nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft, nostr:npub12262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s6cgrkj nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8, nostr:npub1ewe0qgak4gykym236t6w4x06jyuw4q8v040lmn5lamude434yqcsz7uqlw, nostr:npub1f5pre6wl6ad87vr4hr5wppqq30sh58m4p33mthnjreh03qadcajs7gwt3z, nostr:npub1t0nyg64g5vwprva52wlcmt7fkdr07v5dr7s35raq9g0xgc0k4xcsedjgqv, nostr:npub1h4lrzqnrne72xj00yl3zzr0k6qn93cqe5g4vvkfechs6mn89mwyqfa2jcm, nostr:npub12u423pq5c6c5gvyzlekk5u9s5ksnyd27yemuvu3l9gpqpcnx545s6f8pyh, nostr:npub1cf3zeytdnwgwzz5pk2ax0vvmmlzad03xcft4d50ejrfhsh8pxcdsefx7gk, nostr:npub135x4y8w7jty24ggvxfm0c4mqaknk2su0fzzmwrgfdfylj6tz3l9qlv5xpr, nostr:npub18678fyrar7fg7gy77ggwsuk2cqe74ull38ng2v5x63werc63a70qw02kgq, nostr:npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l, nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z, nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a, nostr:npub1cj8znuztfqkvq89pl8hceph0svvvqk0qay6nydgk9uyq7fhpfsgsqwrz4u, nostr:npub15879mltlln6k8jy32k6xvagmtqx3zhsndchcey8gjyectwldk88sq5kv0n

Since you made me think about basil… a delicious recipe of pesto:

- Basil (fresh)
- Spinach (Passed through boiling water)
- Avocado (fresh)
- Garlic (fresh)
- Cashews (not salty)
- Olive oil (Manzanillo olives is my favourite)

I have a YouTube channel with almost 11,000 subscribers and they have paid me about $14 a month in ad revenue for the exact same videos I share on NOSTR with only 2k followers.

NOSTR zaps on the other hand have made me an average of $30 a month, and it's all in sound money.

What platform is more rewarding for creators 💪?


Deciding on how much time and energy to spend on nostr is a decision that each one of us have to constantly make.

The expectations on what we will get in return is completely set by us.

Just like anything in life, we need to weigh how we spend our energy based on the risks involved.

Is there any type of air quality metric?
I ask because in Santiago de Chile, Chile, these type of provisions are not strange in winter because the deterioration could be bigger enough that it is necessary to suspend the use of firewood, the circulation of part of the vehicle fleet and other even more extreme measures. The air simply becomes so bad that vulnerable people and even those who are not  can end up in the emergency room for respiratory problems (I only mention immediate damages because there are others in the medium and long term). nostr:note1guqdnqd8umjne4h5swz79fjw9f34uq8wr4gjp0f0udydne8pewpsd49hqv


I’ve seen so many people say they won’t use Nostr because we don’t support delete. This is really frustrating, because Nostr DOES support delete, it’s right there in the NIP’s! We’ve got delete in nostr:npub1pu3vqm4vzqpxsnhuc684dp2qaq6z69sf65yte4p39spcucv5lzmqswtfch, but most apps don’t expose the functionality to users because they either don’t like the idea of delete or can’t be sure that something is 100% deleted. That misses the point, delete is as much about social signaling as it is about getting rid of the content.

Here’s my argument for how we should think about and support delete in nostr. In case your client doesn’t support long form content, here’s the njump link: https://njump.me/naddr1qq2ksje3g9trxujpxymyxjjlg5ckjmmrtguyxq3qpu3vqm4vzqpxsnhuc684dp2qaq6z69sf65yte4p39spcucv5lzmqxpqqqp65wk06e7u nostr:note1hldm4z430w76dn2ywzwjnafytnvyt7gsg6nhk3l8a3x8utzl88asl06u8m

“The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed.”

—Ernest Hemingway


“All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you: the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was. If you can get so that you can give that to people, then you are a writer.”

Back in 2005, while cypherpunks were grinding their way into Bitcoin, I was deep into an idea we called "Sovereign Computing": a set of freedoms that would re-create the web with the user, and not corporations, at the center of it. It was initially proposed by Klaus Wuestefeld, one of the senior engineers who shaped most of my early career. The apps we made are mostly gone (turns out CVS wasn't the future of version control), but most of those freedoms still hold quite well.

At the time, everything was deeply tied to ISPs, DNS, and several middle-layer providers that limited your expressiveness on the web by charging for everything. IRC was coming to the end of its downfall. We were slowly becoming slaves of big tech.

Klaus wrote a manifesto that lured people into developing several little projects that could decentralize everything. Many of them were P2P mesh networks where users could talk to each other directly (without servers) and even re-share their own internet connection with their trusted peers. It was a big f*** you to people that thought they could control us.

Free Software users or not, they were no more than subjects conforming to the arbitrary laws dictated by a handful of Internet `authorities`. People got fed up with that monkey business. They decided they would be free to share information and hardware resources with their friends at their own pleasure.

This is how the manifesto went:

Freedom 1 - Own Name

It is the freedom to choose any name for oneself. The format of the chosen name is not limited in any way, even in the case of homonyms, and there is the possibility to change the chosen name at will.

Freedom 2 - Nicknames

It is the freedom to choose any name to refer to others. This freedom is not limited to persons, but applies to anything accessible in the virtual world. This freedom is based on the notion that absolute addressing schemes imply in the abdication of one's freedom in favor of some central authority. According to this, the alternative would be relative addressing schemes centered on each person.

Freedom 3 - Trust

It is the freedom to trust anyone one wishes. It is the possibility to assign a degree of trustworthiness to any person, possibly depending on the subject (for example, one's opinion on music could be highly trusted, but not on cars or economy). Also, the degree of someone's trustworthiness would depend on the relative distance to other persons (for example, one would trust more one's friend than one's friend's friend).

Freedom 4 - Privacy

This freedom has two aspects: the freedom to see only what one wants, and the freedom to keep information inaccessible to untrusted people. One application of the first aspect would be avoiding spam by only accepting messages from people above a certain degree of trustworthiness.

Freedom 5 - Expression

It is the freedom to express oneself. It is not only the freedom to expose one's thoughts but also the freedom to make syntheses of information provided by other people.

Freedom 6 - Hardware

This is the freedom to share hardware resources. This is based on the assumption that most hardware resources are underused, especially among domestic users. By federating the resources of a large number of people, it would be possible to decrease the dependency on internet providers and internet hosts.

Freedom 7 - Software

It is the freedom to share all software one uses. It is based on free software that is spread through trust networks across the globe. There is no need for a single, centralized distribution point.

It's bizarre to see how many of those early thoughts can be seen now in Nostr.  Maybe one day we will fully free ourselves from the web's overlords.


Happier 🎶

“The map is not the territory. The menu is not the meal. Symbols bear the same relation to the real world that money bears to wealth.”

The issue here is

I want to occassionally post stuff that only a few people will care about. But the rest of the time i may be shitposting. That junks up feeds and incentivizes people to unfollow/mute and then they miss the signal they want.

While nostr notes can have subjects and tags, current clients do a poor job with filters in general.

The best filter is self filtering into different accounts


There is another important distinction: Law is not static, must be adapted to social reality.


Are you talking about BTC or Nostr?


Very early adopters


I was thinking the same. This account is more about myself and I have several interests.

The basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus) is the second-largest living shark and fish, after the whale shark.
Regularly reaches 7–8.5 m (23–28 ft) in length with some individuals reaching 9–11 m (30–36 ft).

Despite their large size and threatening appearance, basking sharks are not aggressive and are harmless to humans.
The basking shark is a ram feeder, filtering zooplankton, very small fish, and invertebrates.
