That’s a great reason!

One thing I’ve found is very refreshing here is that the dialogue amongst people - all around the world, with sometimes very different views on the world - is shockingly respectful and genuinely civil, as a general rule.

Of course there’s the occasional troll or bigot (it’s still the internet, after all) but I find myself repeatedly, pleasantly surprised by the way people engage with one another when they disagree.

More often than not, the conversations are respectful and thoughtful. When I find myself disagreeing with someone, we’re both usually able to see nuance, and operate on the assumption that the other person is probably a decent human being, with different views or a different background that shapes one’s opinions.

It’s refreshing, inspiring, and quite honestly has been restoring some of my faith in people, after at least a decade in which the dominant narrative has been, “everyone is deeply polarized and can’t see eye-to-eye with anyone on the other side of the red-blue divide”.

Compare it with Twitter, where the company’s revenue comes from ads, which are dependent on clicks/views/engagement, which are most effectively captured by content that makes people angry/upset/scared. It’s financially incentivized to implement specifically those algorithms that boost negative, divisive content, to the point that their bottom line depends on it!

Without this algorithm — without the broken incentives — users are free to  post and engage with content that reflects [what I believe to be] the generally *good* nature of human thought and intention. In short, it leaves us free to be happy.

Then, tie in zaps, where other users can transmit value, voluntarily, to content that they enjoy seeing. Such a user-driven “algorithm” (for lack of a better word) actually incentivizes each of us to produce and engage with content that makes one another happy and fulfilled. Not exclusively, of course, but it’s a much more balanced scene, and much more reflective of the human condition than the ultra-polarized image of society that modern mainstream media creates and reports on.

And it’s far from perfect. The lack of censorship means there’s some nasty stuff out there. It flips the normal content moderation paradigm, where the user is responsible for curating their own feed. Picking the right relays, muting specific accounts (or keywords or hashtags, if the client supports this), and curating a follow list that reflects your own interests and values… it’s not a quick task or insignificant amount of effort - rather, something that takes shape and evolves over time. And different clients do different amounts of that work for you, ranging from a relatively well-configured starting point, to a complete free[dom]-for-all initiation into the raw unfiltered Global feed. It’s a work in progress, to be sure, but I *love* that the philosophy of it focuses on giving each individual user the choice, freedom, and responsibility of defining their own experience to align with their preferences and needs.

So again, more of my unsolicited reflections on nostr. But hey - I’m pretty transparent when I think or care deeply about something.

I hope you enjoy your time here and I look forward to hearing more of your own reflections, as time goes on!


That’s impressive though


Definitely better than not looking at the roads 😂


Naturally 😉


Delighted to see you came back 🤙

Drop a #plebchain or #asknostr into your posts if you have questions or need help with anything

I read your article - a bunch of us shared and reposted it the other day — and it made me think about a lot, especially some of the outward impressions nostr seems to give off.

It’s not great that there’s a “crypto degen gambler” impression — most of the people here have a strong aversions to the whole crypto “investment” nonsense, and look at Bitcoin as a boring (but world-changing) way to save money in a currency that governments and banks can’t violate.

I appreciate you “holding up a mirror” though, because the bitcoiner philosophy is perhaps easily missed through all the memes and shitposts.

Other than that, I’ve found many people with whom to discuss other topics - some tech stuff, yes, but also film, art, philosophy, personal growth, pets, work, food… the list goes on!

Try following the #grownostr hashtag to find discussions about other stuff.

Your points about it being “clunky” were also true. It’s early, and development/improvements are happening at an incredible speed, especially in relation to the amount of funding (or lack thereof) in this ecosystem. But nonetheless, it’s a bit technical and new users can easily be overwhelmed. It’s a known (but important) growth/improvement area.

Anyway, thanks for reading my unsolicited thoughts on your article 😉 I’m an avid nostr user and I sincerely appreciate when someone takes the time to kick all the tires and offer feedback, because I think this protocol has huge potential to add “goodness” to the world and I want t see it succeed.

Cheers 🥂 enjoy your time here!

I’d certainly be interested in hearing what your speakers have to say.


The movie was how they finished the show


🤣🤣🤣🤣 could be that hahaha


Oh shit. Dude 🥹 the movie was how they finished it — after two seasons they ran out of funding (because filming on five continents at the same time is expensive af) so they couldn’t do a final season and made the movie to tie it all up.

Go watch seasons 1-2 this weekend 🫂


Completely agree — and while I wish the movie had been a season, I was so grateful there was *something* to close is out

There was a cool video circulating a few years ago where the cast all discussed how special it was to be a part of. Maybe it was this?

It’s an all-time favorite of mine. Wish they had made a few more seasons rather than needing to tie it up in a finale “movie” but that’s the way it is sometimes with amazing cult shows…

Noticing a lot more offers on RoboSats in exchange for Monero lately, both from buyers and sellers.

That’s an interesting development — other than the occasional stablecoin, you almost never see offers for any “crypto” on RoboSats, which is obviously good (no shitcoins 🚫).

An increase in Monero suggests a growing demand for cryptographically-securefinancial privacy… especially in the wake of the Samourai shutdown, and the continuous, creeping advancements of corporate- and government-instigated surveillance and control.

To be honest, I’m glad to see those Monero offers. Onward ⚡🫡

Doesn’t Nsec Bunker do achieve like this?


Definitely a good point. It’s already a big shift in mindset; trying to then change your entire worldview around money may need to wait for another day lol

The word paradigm is certainly overused these days, which is a shame because it’s a great word lol


I feel that. I’ve found it to be cyclical, maybe. There was a time when I earned more in zaps than I could realistically zap out on individual notes. (Zap ze devz is a good answer to that problem).

Now I find I spend a small percentage of the sats I stack on zapping, because I find enough content that warrants zapping that I’d rather refill my Lightning wallet myself, than wait for inbound zaps to accrue (especially since I’ve been less active in posting lately, just busy with work + travel + Covid this week etc)


Agreed on both. It’s a good reality check that the “fix the world commitment” memery still appears as “degenerate crypto gambling” from the outside view 🫠


Interesting. She gets a handful of things wrong, but at the same time, if this is the average newcomer’s impression of nostr, then we have our work cut out for us…


#grownostr nostr:note1dqwh9v8jt03ljwjx2u90xsejpakd36mpsuf9s39lql5gzvpmgdysyuhxt8


That’s an interesting point. One can certainly use nostr without zaps, be it for the social media use case, or note taking or long form writing or any other digital communication utility.

I’d argue that the reason so many of us greet new users and try to onboard them to Lightning is because for many of us, that was part of the “ah ha” moment with nostr — replacing likes and algorithms with zaps and value-for-value. We’re excited about this paradigm shift and want to bring more people to the party.

You’re right - nostr as a communications tool doesn’t require zaps or Bitcoin or money to function.

But the integration of instant and censorship-resistant micropayments with a global and decentralized information network definitely gives nostr a unique, powerful, and new role in an internet previously defined by algorithmic control, markets constrained by national currency, and siloed social graphs.

Thanks for making me think about this more deeply 🙏🫂🫡


Thanks man. I’m looking at this one (with screen) although I also saw you had listed one without the screen, then purchased a separate screen.

If I start with a prebuilt one from LilyGo, and then build a second one from parts via rakwireless, would you advise getting the kit with screen attached, or the lower one in this photo and then attach the screen myself? Does it matter? Or is it choose-your-own-adventure? Lol


Not fees, like actual coins being moved

But I’m just now realizing I think I was looking at it wrong.

I was looking at the bold number (like 0.091 BTC in the middle of block 851706) as the amount of Bitcoin sent in the block. But just now realizing it’s the fee total 🤦♂

Is there a way to see the sum total of Bitcoin moved on mempool? It’s not jumping out at me. I can see number of transactions but not the total value 🤔 https://image.nostr.build/e8d57149ca6fc32ee764e4da8891e8ac980dd5eea52cd8706c8fb980572bbeec.jpg


I dunno but I feel like I’m used to seeing blocks include a full coin or more. Could be mistaken 🤷♂


nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 invited me via twitter’s Stackchain escapades in December 2022. Then he and nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s purple-pilled me on a Twitter space shortly thereafter.

Haven’t used Twitter since March of ‘23, and I’ve used nostr every day since Christmas of ‘22.

I’d wear the fuck out of that shirt


Is it just me, or are today’s Bitcoin blocks moving relatively low volume?

Seems like most blocks today have like 1M to 10M sats. Maybe I just haven’t paid attention before, but is that not pretty low?

What an evocative story, man.

Between the smell of all the bread, and the feeling of being a little kid along for the ride for your parent’s thing, there’s an energy/memory/nostalgia that seems to be part of the collective consciousness.

Your few paragraphs evoked this feeling, along with the particular visual experience, quite profoundly.

I feel like capturing that is pretty rare, and it usually ends up in someone’s book of poems, or on those public news radio hours where they read short stories aloud.

Keep writing!

Phil, would you possibly recommend one of the prebuilt models for an absolute beginner? This will be my introductory dive into anything radio-related. I learned soldering basics when I was younger (guitar pickups and related electronics were probably the most relevant), but it’s been at least a decade.

I’m wondering whether it makes sense to get one that basically just works, to get familiar with it from that angle, connect it to my phone or computer and start messing around.

Then I could go back, order the parts, build a second one, and experiment with comms over distance, until I find other people somewhere near me that are also involved. What do you think?

And just checking, from link you shared above and the previous link from a couple months ago, am I correct that they’re the same item, just from different sellers and at different stages of assembly?

Just read the article

Tbh a “HODL tax” sounds like a joke to troll the overly serious or curmudgeonly bitcoiner.

If so…. He got me 😂

Just a couple of thoughts as to why bitcoin doesn’t need, shouldn’t attempt, and (LOL) will never see a HODL tax in consensus rules:

1) HODLing bitcoin, ie reducing the liquid supply, is arguably the main reason that Bitcoin’s purchasing power increases over time.

2) We don’t have a “security budget problem” — if Bitcoin doesn’t die (which it won’t), then it will become so widely adopted that miner revenue will not be a concern.

2b) Mining will eventually become so competitive that most “bitcoin mining companies” won’t be profitable on their own. Instead, the majority of companies in the world will also mine Bitcoin as a supplementary form of income, whether by using the heat for their operations such as in the case of drying lumber for paper mills or heating the pool at a local fitness club, or literally heating office spaces. Businesses will do business as usual to make an income, and their Bitcoin mining byproducts will offset the cost of regular business and therefore give them a competitive edge in their industry. It will be mind-boggling to witness, especially for those of us who anticipate it and see it coming.

3) Has the author thought about why Satoshi structured Bitcoin to be a perfect blend where self-interested action is synonymous with the greater good [of the network]? Why on earth would any node-runner choose to implement a rule that would directly reduce their own financial well-being (especially in the utter absence of completely overwhelming absence of any evidence that a hodl tax would be beneficial in reality)?

4) If he’s writing an opinion piece for Bitcoin Magazine, he must have spent at least a little time around the Austrian economic philosophy that many bitcoiners prefer. Yet he’s proposing a TAX…. Is he just trolling???

Well, having lived most of my life in New England, and most of my adult life in the Boston area, I have a very different impression of the city…so I must ask, what part(s) of Boston did you visit? Where did you sleep, eat, etc.?

In any case, many of your points have their origins Iiiè UG y, a few comments.:

- the beloved “Boston accent” is  actually pretty limited to a couple areas, but it’s a very international city, with excellent hospitals and higher education programs, and the accents I notice most frequently are probably Indian and Chinese, followed by Armenian and a solid dose of W.A.S.P. lol

- the drivers are indeed horrible. However, unkikikrsv NYC, where drivers are aggressivef but skillful, Boston drivers are - if we’re generalizing - psychotic narcissists 😂

- if you’re into sport culture it’s strong in Boston, true, but if you’re more into history or art or music, there’s a great number of museums, theatres, and concert venues to explore. Plenty of woods/gardens/trees and nature as well if you’re into birding or horticulture

- one will never find oneself running out of stuff to drink, that’s for sure. For better or for worse 😬

- I’m not familiar with the cousin motto specifically, but I’ll give it my best shot… it can be a bit tricky to build new social circles in Boston. Maybe it’s the puritanical origins but people tend to be a little standoffish, like “why are you talking to me?” whereas they’re friendlier in other in parts of New England. Haven’t figured out why that is, though.

I will say - I love Boston for a few reasons. It has the convenience and ease of a major city, but it’s small enough to be relatively walkable and incredibly cozy (in certain particular
 neighborhoods, of course).

I also love the old-world energy; some parts of downtown Boston have this nice “18th century (ish?) European charm” which I find quite endearing.

Okay, that’s all I got for now. Note this is me writing at nearly 5am, haven’t slept yet, due to a combination of persisting jet lag and my first case of Covid-induced insomnia, so please forgive any typos, fragmented thoughts, or potential absolute gibberish. I kept half-dozing off  while working on this note, so while I believe I cleaned it up decently… it could also be a bit of a mess.

Will try to sleep a bt now and try revisiting this in a few hours lol

Oh I definitely have Covid - plenty of symptoms (including insomnia, apparently 🥱🫠) and two positive tests from different brands. Same for my wife. But for sure: don’t trust, verify 🤝

The Binax branded ones are actually pretty reliable, but my understanding of antigen tests in general (like for any virus) is that they are more of a preliminary evaluation, especially for cases where certain people may need more involved care/attention.

It also helps me to make informed choices, like working remotely so that I don’t accidentally share all the fun I’m having right now with my colleagues at the office  🫠

Gonna double check and #asknostr before I buy it, since I’m a complete beginner here... Is the low-900MHz range correct for an antenna in USA?

One question, looking at the frequency options on the blade antenna. USA is 915, and the antennae seem to have ranges if I’m reading it correctly.

I am a father of 5 and wrote a fantasy bitcoin parable to begin teaching my children about fiat enslavement, bitcoin, and money. I genuinely believe that outside of my actual BTC stack, the greatest inheritance I will leave with my lineage is the knowledge and understanding of money.

I published this parable in a paperback and realized I had made a mistake. If I publish this book, it shouldn’t be through fiat channels. For better or worse, I’ve decided to publish this parable for free on Nostr. Nostr is a place that shares my values and is one of the most important projects in the world right now. I believe in this platform, and this is my small way of contributing—link to page 1 in the comments.

I’m working on a screenplay and novel of this tale, which will have plenty of interesting surprises not included in these notes, so there is much more to come.

My long-term vision is to write a whole collection of parables to preserve the truths of money through stories, the same way our ancestors did.

Fiat Delenda Est.

I haven’t read the article, so please forgive if my reply is redundant…
I can understand ETF holders to pay a fee. The fund is providing you the service of custodying your bitcoin.

But why would you pay a fee to simply hodl your Bitcoin? Sounds like nonsense. But I’d be curious to hear the author’s arguments. Will look for it later!

Excited to try your OS someday 🫂 i have a list of projects that i am checking off verrrrrry slowly lol, but you’re on, it my friend 🤜💥🤛


Looks like 127.0.0.1 is what we’re looking for!

Details here nostr:note19keswvhzrds6mpy7vxw78v96dpn2yy9n4gm2ccgslle0pv3szcvs4pc98k


If you aren’t running your own node, but you want to run your Sparrow desktop wallet via Tor proxy to gain far better privacy from the public node that you connect to, this is how.

The setup also works quite similarly for the BitBox02 watching wallet 🫡 nostr:note19keswvhzrds6mpy7vxw78v96dpn2yy9n4gm2ccgslle0pv3szcvs4pc98k


Heya, thank you!! I’m just seeing this now, but it turns out that the proxy URL was the missing piece. I had “localhost” instead of 127.0.0.1

Perhaps I’m mistaken but i was pretty sure localhost always worked in the past. But then again, i set it once and didn’t really look at it again for a while til today.

We’re good now. But thanks again for the exact solution!!


VPN has never been an issue for me (and I prefer my ISP not to see I’m using Tor - it may be “wrong” but it’s a fact that it draws unwanted attention).

Anyway it worked out! I (am nearly positive that I) have always used “localhost” in the past, and then port 9150 or 9050. But when i checked the corresponding configuration in Shift Wallet (from the BitBox02 bitcoin only hww), it showed a different IP address for a Tor proxy, something with like 127.0 in it i believe (but I’m afk right now).

Anyway when i changed that, it started working.

Just weird because I’m 99% sure it always worked with “localhost” instead of an IP address in the past 🤔🤔


Thanks Ava, makes perfect sense!


Take your time and educate yourself: read books about bitcoin, listen to podcasts about bitcoin, avoid most other sources that have anything to do with “crypto”, and set aside any (and all) money that you won’t need to spend for at least a year or two.


Weird. There was an error that said something like “illegal state” in the bottom right of the application when trying to connect via tor. I changed my VPN server from
Costa Rica to Cayman Islands, restarted Sparrow & Tor, and then it worked.

“State” doesn’t actually mean location, does it? Assuming a “state” error has to do with the software. But idk, and now it’s working.

Craig if you’re on nostr much and see this, I’m happy to provide more info as a bug report if possible. But not sure how I’d replicate it 🤔


As a non-dev, I have loved being able to just open the browser and point my sparrow wallet’s proxy settings at it, lol

I’ll try your recommendation in the last note - thanks!


It’s always worked until today ☹


I’ve never had trouble with Sparrow wallet before... I’m trying to use the Tor Browser as a proxy, and connect to a public node like nostr:npub1tr4dstaptd2sp98h7hlysp8qle6mw7wmauhfkgz3rmxdd8ndprusnw2y5g or Bitaroo.

The browser is open, and I have toggled “use proxy” on, entered “localhost” as the Proxy URL, and set the port as 9150 (I’ve also tried 9050).

Tried restarting the browser and the wallet. Tried changing servers. Even changed my VPN in case Sparrow was scared of serving American users. All with no luck…

Did something change in Sparrow or Tor? The setup above has always worked perfectly before.

Thanks homie, that’s more or less what I thought. Presumably it wouldn’t come “stock” with the Tor browser if it posed a security risk lol


Stack sats like there is a tomorrow ⚡💜

#plebchain


Exactly.

Some people say “only invest what you can afford to lose” which I think is nonsense because it suggests Bitcoin could go to zero or something.

I prefer:

Only stack the amount that you won’t need to *spend* in the short to medium term.

The exception of course is if your stack is just so ridiculously massive (like 2009-10 massive) that the volatility is a non-issue 🙃


Bahahaha Ally you’re a boss 😂

Got it. And so I’m assuming the plug-in still doesn’t have access, for example, to my email - or to my bitcoin address on mempool.space - when I open it in the door browser… right?


Howdy and good afternoon, nostr neighbors 💜✌

Got a Tor question for ya. I see the NoScript extension is enabled (presumably be default), and the default security level is set to “safest”.

But the extension says, “requires access to private windows” (see image).

Is this a security hole? Why or why not?

Without giving any concrete timing, I’ll just say I definitely felt very “late” to bitcoin from a price appreciation perspective. I was honestly more interested in the idea of an alternative, self-sovereign currency, as an uncensorable human rights and freedom tool, because I didn’t expect there was much room for additional number-go-up (not that I had ever heard the term NGU, of course).

To then begin studying, and realize how early we are in the adoption process… that was a fucking cool realization.


Time can certainly do that - it’s weird.

 🫂💪🔥


Both and it happened without my even realizing it


It’s always a stacking opportunity is what I mean to say


I haven’t experienced a drop where I’ve thought Bitcoin was “dying” or “wouldn’t recover” since I started holding bitcoin. (Which I have never held of course).


Ouch. It does. I’m not sure exactly where the right balance is - in terms of keeping some fiat cash on hand for unexpected/costly emergencies - in the short term. Because keeping all your money in bitcoin could mean that you end up spending too much of the bitcoin, if you have to spend on something big during a dip

I love that feeling


And also I agree - selling now would be a rough mistake, at least in any normal circumstance


Rather than defining a bitcoiner in rigid terms, I prefer to think about how far along on the Bitcoin journey a person is. We all evolve over time.

Similarly, enlightenment is a process - wisdom grows over time as the ego becomes quieter, and we’re all at different stages of this evolution.

We’re all at *this* stage, here and now.


I got lucky, in terms of education and getting comfortable with volatility: my first ever buys were at a cycle high 📉

I stacked my fucking heart out, all the way down. And back up. Rinse and repeat. Wifey was fully on-board: “I think we should buy more today” was often her suggestion ❤

Imagine selling off your Bitcoin right now just because there’s a little price drop 🤯

The sats I stacked at $70K+ are my most valuable sats - you could perhaps say they are some of my favorites 😉

U got this 💪


That color 🤩🤩🤩


It’s nearly 1:00 am here as this very full day (actually, week) of travel, friends, and vacation fun comes to a close. I had been feeling some burnout at work, and this was a long-awaited recharge.

A total change of scenery and change of pace - simply a vacation from the regular routines - can be such a good thing. Oh, and I had the opportunity to make a few cool new friends, while also deepening and expanding existing friendships.

Feels good to say GN from my own bed, that’s for sure.

Yes, I would try using a different Lightning address. (I’m not familiar with bitrefill’s configuration, or I’d try to troubleshoot that too).

Alby is an easy (but custodial) solution, as is Wallet of Satoshi (if you’re outside of the USA).

Also — adding a Lightning address is only the receiving part. To send zaps… it depends on which client you’re using. But most will either “open” your Lightning wallet, or, if the client supports NWC (Nostr Wallet Connect), you can integrate certain Lightning wallets directly with your nostr client.

It’s a lot of info, so just ask if you have any questions!!


Many people (not so much in Bitcoin circles, of course) are also quick to think of money as a negative in general… lacking the understanding that it’s the *type* of money that feeds all of these negative loops.

Makes it a more difficult topic, as everyone’s relationship to money is different, and often fraught, and so to make the connection between money and your time is that much heavier of a revelation.

It also means that those breakthroughs - the spark of realization - when someone understands Bitcoin, are that much more profound, exciting, and satisfying

Packing for a trip tonight; there’s a lot we need to get done in the next 24 hours…

Gonna go distract my wife 😈


I feel you. I enjoy spicy food, up to a moderately hot level. Where you can taste the specific pepper’s flavor profile, fruit notes, spice, how the heat moves across the palate. Kind of like wine tasting 😂

But when it’s just too hot, like punched in the mouth with hot broken glass, and the heat/pain overwhelms any culinary experience… that just sucks.

I’m sure someone would say that’s just a tolerance thing, and that they can still taste the profile despite the heat, maybe. Idk.

It’s gotta be balanced. Otherwise it’s just a sad distraction lol

Drink a glass of whole milk. Or eat some cheese or pork belly. Fat bonds to the capsaicin and will help “pull” the molecules out of your tongue’s heat receptors. At least I’m pretty sure that’s why it works 🫡


Nostr good. Where else on the internet can people respectfully disagree and act like actual people.

PV 🤙


Eh, it’s not so black and white. There’s a reason surgeons and dentists have always worn masks, and vulnerable populations have used them for years, before any of the Covid stuff started.

What it means for a mask to “work” also depends you’re thinking about an individual’s personal health versus some type of crowd control.

Areas with bad wildfires are another instance where it makes sense, to a point.

But we’ve all spent an unfortunate amount of time on these topics - fully agree on not reliving it 🤝


Fwiw, he could be medically vulnerable (immunocompromised transplant or cancer patient) or be legitimately sick and considerate.

When I see people in masks these days, I try to give them the benefit of the doubt. Some are undoubtedly paranoid/traumatized, but I know a few people who live daily life with a risk of life-threatening illness from minor infections. They’ve always masked up on public transportation.

Hi y'all !

Long time lurker, first time poster, I am very pleased to finally annonce Satonomics (https://satonomics.xyz) ! 🎉

Which I've been building full-time since November 2023 and started looong before

In short: FOSS Glassnode (https://glassnode.com)

In long:

Satonomics is an open-source suite of tools that computes, distributes, and displays on-chain data, making it freely available for anyone to use.

While mempool.space gives a very micro view of the network this tool is the exact opposite and very complimentary by giving you a more global/macro view of the flow and various dynamics of the network.

It doesn't matter who you are and what you want to do with the data, I strongly believe and it is very important that anyone should have a full and free access, be able to verify and visualize any kind of data from the network. And so you'll find many many charts (and soon dashboards), or routes through an API (if you prefer it raw) to do anything; from doing a health-check, gain insight into the current or past state of the network or even trading, I don't care, do what you want !

I realize it's not as exciting as ecash and nostr/bitcoin tools but it is something that needed to be done. We can't have fiat-minded 700$/m closed tools like Glassnode being the go to.

Warning: very early and very alpha, things might break and the data might be false (and I'm 100% positive that some datasets are)

Anyway, enjoy and let's keep building ! 🔨

It’s interesting… I read the part about how the US refused to engage in discussion, even after the kill switch offer.

To me, that suggests they *know* that user data is being sent to the CCP (because of course it is).

Agreed though, the gov’t is not doing this to protect people from surveillance/invasion of privacy, just to keep China out.

Hey #nostr, I’m an experienced penetration tester/cyber security consultant who wants to voluntarily help out #nostr or #Bitcoin projects. If you need security testing to make sure what you’ve built is secure or want security advice throughout development then I’m your man. I’m always happy to sanity check designs/concepts at earlier stages too. If you or someone you know is building then DM me or kindly re-post so that someone who is building sees! I want a future for my family where financial freedom and freedom of speech prevail so this is my way of contributing. LFG!


Congrats 🔥 great work


Appreciate the thoughtful reply.

I can’t imagine endorsing war as the right solution, for (nearly) any circumstance.

I’ve long wondered about slavery’s abolition in other nations. Why did it take a war to achieve that here - were Americans really that “stuck”?

Your point is well-taken: perhaps it wouldn’t have taken a war to get (with time) better results, if the classical liberal view had prevailed.


#yestr


Such truth


Reposting your 5am shower thoughts when people wake up

This is the way


I woke up still contemplating this…

Jimmy makes a bunch of good points; I have no trouble believing  that history/media has shaped the public’s opinion of Lincoln, and he may have in fact been a lousy president. (I can’t know, but he was a politician, after all, so that’s not a big leap). I always appreciate having my perspective expanded.

However…

What this narrative fails to articulate is that the South wanted to secede *because* they were threatened with the loss of the slave labor force.

I’ve heard arguments that the secession was economic, and in one sense that’s true. It was also about states rights, and tariffs. But it comes back to slavery.

The economic benefits, the “rights” that the region was seeking to preserve, were the product of absolute theft: theft of the time, energy, work, and life force of other human beings, upon which the south built a prosperous economy and community.

It was a prosperity built on a foundation that nobody - no state or citizen - ever had the “right” to own.

Would “allowing” secession and then making the North a safe haven been better? Perhaps. Less government intervention, less war, usually better.

But how long would it have taken, and how many more slaves would have lived and died in bondage, while the free market played out?

History is indeed tricky…

Good morning 🤝 nostr:note1ug8rx09pa8x0fwgm45d8sumzj8ss9xxp5cqqj8lhm8cu34d42uzqvatlg9


There’s definitely nuance and a lot of greater and lesser evils to look at here.

It’s hard to quantify. But the individual rights abuses, in my opinion, were far more egregious than the abuses of states’ rights.

Fuck slavery, fuck racism, fuck war.

Can’t imagine there are any easy answers, but I appreciate your thoughtful reply 🙏


All viable points. On the flip side, the comment by Lincoln about preserving the union without freeing anyone was (allegedly) tailored to retain the central states’ (MD, etc) allegiance to the north, with a rallying cry of “unity”.

I’m a big believer states’ rights (or, perhaps I should say, communities’ rights - because states are still too large), but I’m a bigger believer in individual rights. And the rights of individuals are no worse abused than in a nation where slavery exists.

Next up… the prison industry 😒

Thanks for the thoughtful note 🫡

Happy Juneteenth

I don’t understand why it’s a controversial holiday, July 4th didn’t mean independence for everyone in America, it’s okay to accept that. It’s our history.

Celebrating America means acknowledging the good and the bad.  America is beautiful, and America is free. Celebrate both holidays, as it celebrates the core value of independence.

Don’t make it into something it’s not, which is another outlet for us as Americans to be divided.

To the Black American nostriches, thank you for being here.

What cashless really means:
https://m.primal.net/IoxK.png


Bitcoin journalism is fucked.

I started The Rage because I'm tired of investors and advertisers telling me what to do for below minimum wage compensation.

What we need are publications willing to let journalists investigate the crap out of the companies, representatives and people enabling the building of surveillance tech behind the scenes.

What we get are publications selling out to corporations, startups and politicians writing public relations puff pieces to keep their returns on track. The point of journalism is to hold power to account, not to become its bedfellow.

There is no lack of talented, experienced, investigative journalists covering bitcoin. The problem is that they write what the powers that be don't want you to hear – so many are out of a job, dabbling away at the next press release for mainstream media, or doing below-minimum wage contract work to pay the bills.

I'm incredibly overwhelmed by all the positive feedback we've been getting for The Rage. In just 8 weeks we've scooped major publications and drove discussions around AML, Samourai and Tornado Cash together with your help. We've even made enough to cover operations with almost 400$ raised, thanks to all the zappers out there.

But here's the thing. I didn't come here to write a good piece every once in a while leaving stories untold left and right because I can't afford to focus on investigations full time. I came here to fuck up the financial surveillance complex. That's why The Rage now needs your help.

We're trying to raise 0.25BTC so we can contract the best investigative journalists in the Bitcoin space to tell the stories that major publications can't afford to print.

If you value your financial freedom, please consider donating via our Geyser fund. We cannot do this without your help.

Lovely - and absolutely 🤝


H/t — thank you nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a, for (once again) inspiring thoughtful contemplation, this time about something entirely unrelated to Bitcoin, macro, and the usual 🙏


Feeling a lot of respect and appreciation to all the dads out there, on nostr and otherwise (but especially on nostr).

A few years ago, my cousin asked me what I believed my purpose in life was. I surprised him (and myself) with the answer:

I said, “On the deepest level, I feel called to someday be a really good dad. Bringing light into the world through my professional journey is how I usually answer, but my family is how I truly wish to leave my mark on the world”.

My wife and I are hoping/planning to have a bunch of kids. Not quite yet, but not that long from now. We have a few logistical boxes that need (non-optionally) to be checked off, but otherwise, it’s nearly time to begin.

I have been getting more ready, emotionally and psychologically, in recent years. Learning to take care of myself more reliably (I still have work to do there, but who doesn’t?), and gradually building deeper stability in terms of family, community, and finances.

Through much of my twenties, I (correctly) felt that I wasn’t ready.

That I had more growing up to do.

That I needed (and wanted) to focus on my marriage and build the strongest and most beautiful relationship possible with my wife.

That my career path was still forming, solidifying into the “bigger picture” that I could feel but not yet see.

Today, I feel that I’ve completed many of these prerequisites, and/or they are in motion, going “according to plan”.

I don’t feel entirely ready for children, to be completely selfless in the all-consuming way that parenthood demands. I’m excited for when the time comes, even if it’s not quite *time* yet. That said, I know that if I were to discover today that a child was on its way, I would be delighted and rise to the occasion.

How’s this for a sign that I’m ready:

Today is Father’s Day, and I’m contemplating all of the above, and writing down and sharing these musings here, rather than reflecting on my childhood and relationship with my own dad. That’s new.

Happy Father’s Day 🫂

#grownostr #growyourself #fathersday #plebchain


Tat tvam asi


I’ve missed you, my friend! Good to see you around a little more 🫂


I love u


What I can surely say is, that #Nostr is here to stay. The idea of a decentralized future and our right to speak freely is inevitable. Ever since I’ve been on here my highest goal has been to support this still very little network of people as good as I can. Especially after such a big conference it’s a great deal to encourage people to contribute here.

I want to share some of my thoughts with you. About how you can support Nostr right now. Spread its importance and let it thrive. Add something if you got some thoughts on that.

💜 Ask questions. Nostr can still be very confusing but people are happy to help. I mean, we all know something and we will find out together and learn. No matter how stupid your question may seem, it isn’t. It’s helpful. Asking a question might look unaesthetic in your profile, but asking questions is human. Be human, the Nostrworld needs curiosity. Notes or events could be seen as a part of a big and endless flowing river. Flow with it.

💜 Share/Build stuff just for fun. Since Nostr is still in a very playful state. It’s sometimes hard to notice that you actually reach people. Or it feels like it’s just a few & you put it in relation to the work you put in. It can be very relieving to post out of pure joy for the protocol or for the thing you want to share. Without expecting too much. When you’re creating on Nostr today, you have to put lots of effort in, so make sure it’s fun.

💜 Engage. Engagement is like the heartbeat of the Nostr-Network. If you decide to be online, make sure to engage a little, so the creators feel seen. We’re social beings, & some may need more feedback than others, this is something we shouldn’t underestimate especially in this early state. No feedback is also feedback, support what you can identify with.

💜 Be the Nostr you want to see in the world. Your own perception of the protocol matters. While we all have very varying perceptions, we are naturally supposed to find the next best consensus. Try to imagine nostr in the future. Where do you see it? Contribute. Share your thoughts!

💜 Connect. Build community. Nostr is not just a new decentralized protocol, I view it as a massive innovation in online interaction. The future is not just bright, it will be different. And to grow the world towards that difference, connect with the people to inspire and to encourage each other to do better.

💜 Take time. To revolutionize the online social networks, I think it’s important to take your time when you engage or when you build. Behind every Npub there is a person with believes, believing something brings a more likely inflexible energy with it. If you decide to discuss the believes of others because they’ve decided to share them, it can be helpful to be open minded and to take your time to listen and to respond mindfully. Patience is power, whether you talk to others or when you build something. Just like ignoring and moving on.

💜 Talk about the other stuff. While Nostr got many social clients already, the other stuff may exceeds your imagination. Think about everything you need an identity for. Who knows where we’re going, but we’re becoming more decentralized to fight censorship and to bring more natural interaction into the online world.

💜 Onboard. Even if you’re unsuccessful. Bring it into the mind of people. This new technology is hard to explain. It takes a lot of time and a lot of minds to form the „What is Nostr?“ question. Don’t be afraid, be convinced. Trust in the future and the people.

💜 Every individual serves different purposes, realize your light and share it with us. Contribute in a way that aligns with you.✨🫂

It was a great experience to meet Nostriches, trying to onboard new Nostriches and listening to the different perspectives on Nostr at the BTC-Prague conference! Thanks for all the inspiration and encouragement. Love you guys. Let’s grow #TheNostr 💜🌱


I love that song 🥹


Dude me too. If I could only have one discography to listen to for the rest of my life, it’d be rhcp hands-down

I’d be happy to ask around to see if that VT festival’s farmland location is still a viable location, if so…


At the moment I think I’m going to be on a family trip that week. Otherwise yes.

Mike, are you based in/around Nashville?


Makes a ton of sense. The festival from when I was younger was hosted once on a neighbor’s farm land, and then the second year at a local fairground. Much more logistically complex the second time around lol


Well if we do make this come together, your experience will be needed!

Hey nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 team, this note (long form?) is rendering all sorts of weird on iPhone. Or at least, the photos aren’t working. Two quick notes:

The top intro block with rounded edges is a bit deceiving to me — it looks like it should be clickable, so I tried to tap it a bunch of times to open the note/thread, before realizing that I was already in the thread and just needed to scroll down - first vid.

The other issue is that the photo width is coming out massive, so that even when flipping my phone to landscape, I can only see a fraction of the photo.

Would fix if dev, but alas, I am limited to simply announcing these sort of things and saying please 😂💜

*Orange Pills, Casually In Passing*

Our office elevator shows the day’s business news on a little screen. This morning offered a note about GameStop and roaring kitty (Keith something?)…

To the other people in the elevator (both wearing full formal business attire) I said,

“Can’t believe people are still going crazy about Gamestop. The guy did nothing but post a photo on Twitter recently, and sent the stock flying…

Dude will find Bitcoin soon enough”.

Ding, my floor, stepped off the elevator. Glancing back, the two guys looked surprised. One skeptical, the other with a spark of curiosity, “Have a great day”.

One bit at a time. Onward 🫡

Question - and idk if this is possible… might be a device/keyboard question.

But could a client offer custom emojis? Primarily thinking a purple Shaka and a nostrich?

Maybe Damus could just render all 🤙 in purple, same for the nostrich, and add the nostrich as an emoji reaction option? I’m thinking way it auto-adds a coffee cup, hug, or lightning bolt to hashtags like #coffeechain and #plebchain and #zapathon ?

Obviously these are nice-to-haves, not need-to-haves.

But if it can be implemented with minimal effort, and you guys think it would be fun, I’d gladly open a text-only PR 😎 nostr:note1340a2s2j4pjykkfnkp3fg2l074gdj26wtcm99g86g9n98ww2gpuq3qzq5h
