Everyone should start accumulating Bitcoin NOW, in preparation for an authoritarian presidency.


That would be amazing. Do you have an email address I can reach out to, or do you have a checkout on your website that calculates shipping/address details?


Yes please


The Progressive Left should start accumulating Bitcoin NOW, in preparation for an authoritarian-right presidency.

Few understand this.


Yooo. Beautiful. Love the B/CBDC shirt. Can you ship to USA?

Yup... I remember university economics covering fractional reserve banking, and thinking “this sounds like make believe - either the money is there or it is not, and it clearly is not”. So I focused on learning the economic systems and cause-and-effect networks, taking everything I learned afterwards with a grain of salt 🤙

Stacked a few extra birthday sats today 😁

This is my second birthday since joining Nostr. Of all that I feel lucky and grateful to have, Nostr (the people and the protocol) is big.

Nostr satisfies my passion to make the world better, my love for philosophical inquiry and growth, suffused with the fun, silliness and joy of this social space… that’s rare.

Thank you 💜🙏⚡🤙

I don’t think so. My sense is that people use the alternatives either to connect with international peers, or for privacy improvements over SMS, rather than just “UI” interoperability (although I could be wrong).

Does adding RCS introduce better privacy to SMS between iOS & Android in any way? (Like does it make E2EE possible where it wasn’t before?)


Damn dude that’s so true


Have you tried Flare yet?


Also I bought coffee so idk what they mean 😉


Inspired to move my thinking over to this platform. Will then take the edge off for the Twitter audience.


Troy dude, this would be a big value add for nostr (and in true value-for-value fashion, you’ll find yourself well-zapped).

I’ve found that nostr distills content down to the more thoughtful voices and the highest signal, with a built in mechanism (ie lack of toxic algorithms) to reduce the trash content. As a fellow student of philosophy, I have a feeling you’ll appreciate what this place has to offer.

It takes a bit of work to “get” your account there, in terms of follow lists, relays, and mutes. But it is so damn worth it.

Hope we’ll see more of you here, brother!

PS: was it nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx at Oslo that inspired this? Or a good conversation with a nostrich? Always wondering how people find there way here, or decide to stay 🤙


The evolution of AI over the next [decade/century] may simply proceed until the question of free will becomes a singularity.

If autonomous AI is effectively a “free will” robot, and we’ve “gotten there”, it will still require asking, “did every moment in this machine’s existence condition it to make its current “choice”, or does it simply “want” to act a certain way?

The same question will then necessarily be asked of humans. Perhaps the point of “AGI” is when the answer to this question becomes indistinguishable for the bots vs humans… and we either have an philosophical existential crisis a la Blade Runner, or we simply stop asking the question 🤔🤷♂

Thanks nostr:npub14mcddvsjsflnhgw7vxykz0ndfqj0rq04v7cjq5nnc95ftld0pv3shcfrlx and nostr:npub1kvgw6zj55uwvlz5rdqpjm5a5hqah4j3ggza3pfx4umh5k6j00yaqt6v0p2 for the thoughts this morning 🤙

Thanks! I see there’s much for me to learn here (that’s a good thing) 🫡

Do you know how a wallet like sparrow is able to “find” a node like Seth’s? Ie does it use one of the methods you listed above, just under the hood, or is there a different way it comnects?


Thank you both for the rec’s - much appreciate 🙏🫡


Ahh. In that case, I don’t. I’ve used a “pur” filter that attaches to the faucet before, but tbh it was kind of junk lol

Goodnight love u


It’s currently my top choice for this home server/node/digital-sovereignty endeavor. Gotta save up some sats 🫡


Playing around with a few options just to get the hang of it, and familiarize myself with the tech. Start9 looks sexy af though. Might call it a Christmas present to myself or something 😁


Oh brilliant. Thank you so much!


Thanks, that’s what I was going for!

How would one locate their node’s unique IP or Onion address?


This one works well, lasts a lot longer than our Brita pitchers did, and the water & m tastes great 🧊

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081Q5365W


Can you “remotely” connect an on-chain wallet (either on mobile, like BlueWallet, or on desktop, like with a hardware wallet + Sparrow) to a Bitcoin Core node (full or pruned) on a separate computer?

I have to believe you can, because you’re connecting to *some* node every time you use the wallet, but by default you’re just using the wallet service provider’s node.

In Sparrow you can choose a few others, like Bitaroo and nostr:npub1tr4dstaptd2sp98h7hlysp8qle6mw7wmauhfkgz3rmxdd8ndprusnw2y5g. But how do you connected it to your own node on a different device? Or to your Uncle Jim’s node? Or be Uncle Jim for your friends & fam, and connect their wallet to your node? Is it different if the node runs over Tor?

Many questions. Perhaps someone could point me in the right direction in terms of resources around nodes?

There is always more to learn and I fucking love it. Hope you’ve all had a stellar weekend, nostriches 🫂💜🤙

Gm Sarah!


Gossip is a desktop application so I don’t think you can use an extension. But you can encrypt the nsec when you add it so that it’s password-protected. On a technical level, I don’t know much more than that though


It’s good!

Today might finally be the day I do it.

I might enter my ~1.5 year old nsec into its first client other than nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 since it was generated.

Testing Gossip desktop client with my npub this morning, and it’s so beautiful… I want to post 🥺

Hey nostr:npub1acg6thl5psv62405rljzkj8spesceyfz2c32udakc2ak0dmvfeyse9p35c you might actually get me to do it. I see it can be encrypted with a passphrase. I like passphrase. More secure than average client?

Really nice work, by the way 🔥


Absurd, lol


Cool, that makes perfect sense. Thanks again!


Hot damn, who’s sending a transaction with nearly 900 UTXOs, approximately 300 sats per UTXO, but then spitting them out into another 900 addresses!?!

Is this some sort of coinjoin but with tiny amounts?? At first I assumed consolidation but they’re not all being spent to a singular address.

The miner fee is nearly 3M sats ($2000) for whatever this is 🤔

The visual depictions of these big transactions truly are fascinating, too 👾🤖🎨

I’ve got an always-on VPN on all devices for basic privacy.

Minimal threat model for me as a general rule, but something like Bitcoin savings should be run via Tor IMO.

On iOS, Orbot takes up a VPN slot so you can only use Orbot or your VPN, but Orbot + DuckDuckGo on iOS can access onion links which is kind of cool.

I’ve heard Orbot can be run simultaneously with a VPN on android, is that correct?

Then on Android, there’s Orbot and i had also found the android Tor Browser app, from the tor project’s website (or perhaps it was GitHub).

Doesn’t seem like you need to enable Orbot on Android to use the browser though, unless I’m missing something? Seems like WiFi + Mullvad (or whatever good VPN) + Tor Browser is solid for something like viewing your mempool addresses or channel confirmations on Android.


Orbot is cool - kind of functions like a VPN as far as how the phone uses it, but routes via tor instead of a VPN provider’s service


I think there’s one “tor-ish” iOS app from Tor project, and then Orbot of course

Tell them we have built and fixed web3 without needing a token or a blockchain. That we transact and transmit value at the speed of light, in a completely permissionless and decentralized format, and that it frees up our developers to focus on building things with fascinating, exciting use cases.

Then welcome them to Nostr 🤙


“I’d rather get ads for stuff I’m interested in” is one line I’ve been hearing a lot lately.

Like… oof… on so many levels. What do you even say to that?


G’night Ava (and GN to your hilarious cat - so much character) 🫂💜


I wasted a few hundred bucks on shitcoins when I first found Bitcoin. Those dollars would have been a lot of sats today, which sucks.

But I had already immersed myself in Bitcoin content/media/culture, so my dabbling in “crypto” was brief, and I learned quickly before I lost more.

Without a doubt, Nostr is protecting Bitcoin’s newcomers today.

Let the masses come. It’s very good that this protocol was created by bitcoiners, and was first populated, primarily, by bitcoiners. Onward 🫡

Good point. Assuming there’s no way to self-host protonpass?


Thank you! I certainly will 🫂🫂🔥


Erik dude i love this


I agree completely.

I try not to approach these chats from an antagonistic place, if I want to have any positive/useful impact. I’d rather the person want to have another conversation with me, than never want to see me again lol

My quote above was a bit tongue-in-cheek; when I actually talk to crypto folks about Nostr, I approach it from a place of (assumed) shared excitement about decentralized communication, building cool tech, etc… Even if their motivations are often more fiat-minded, I try to assume the best.

So really it would be (and has been) more like this:

“Have you heard of nostr? It uses crypto to secure your identity and social graph, and integrates seamlessly with Bitcoin Lightning, so that people can build payments and exchange value, and it’s a very inspired community! Nostr is also completely open, so if someone wanted to build a nostr interface with other cryptocurrencies, they could, but we’re finding that Bitcoin works nicely for the money, and allows people to focus on building new awesome tools”.

Something like that 🫡


Looking at password managers again. KeePass & Bitwarden are the top rec’s from Nostriches so far.

I’m also getting rec’s (ads) for Proton Pass. Mostly recommended by ProtonMail 😉

Seems solid, especially if you’re paying for their email service. Any reason not to use it? Problems, etc.?

My basic assumptions:

Open source ✅
Reputable business ✅
Offline backup vs proton’s server ❔
Pay with Bitcoin ✅

Here’s how you can tell if it’s a shitcoin. You say:

“If it was free, yeah I’d hold some and send it around”

That’s how I feel about ethereum. I’d play computer games with it.

But for the love of all that is good in the world, don’t trade your money ie your labor for it!!!

The whole point of Bitcoin is that it’s a money that other people, banks, & governments can’t fuck with.

They can sure as shit fuck with your “eth”.

Also, probably the first time I’ll post “shit fuck” in a nostr note, but I’m cool with that.

Just past a bunch of cars at a stoplight honking at each other, and this dude rides by on a bicycle holding a squeaky dog toy just telling every driver “smile! Smile!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


😂😂 ahahaha I love it. Perfect answer.

Although for what it’s worth, that isn’t by definition uncool. Or well maybe definitionally it is, lol, but what I mean is that some of the coolest people I’ve known were definitely not “cool” ie in a particular clique, but just happened to be cool as fuck


And possibly me, once or twice


Aw well I love you guys. Your content strikes a perfect balance of funny and informative, and I can also kind of tell that you were both cool (but not douchy) in high school, which is a pretty solid gauge for people 😂


We are all Nostr 😁


Hahaha yes I think they posted it in an earlier note


I had a feeling. Now who made you? lol


Cool thing about #NostrWall is that nobody can definitively prove that they created it.

You can fake screenshots of onboarding. Maybe you can prove an IP address (but can someone else spoof an existing IP address?), so I guess not perfect.

But the idea of the NSEC as the proof of authorship here also means that anybody here could be satoshi (I mean could be NostrWall) nostr:note1s7mhzq74cm6jdn58aaeyaw7n3ttxe8a7awv2htkyxqqkzw9s6urqypknvm

It’s been good! I was way tired earlier. Dozed off on the couch around 6pm. But now feeling rejuvenated and nearly ready to read and get ready for bed 😂


Oh no problem! Thanks 🫡


You know what… The intro hashtag might do the trick, if there was a bot that comments under a new #introductions post and tags the most recent 5-10 other npubs who sent a note with an intro hashtag… perhaps filtering anyone who was previously tagged, or only chiming in on every fift note, or something like that.

N4N bot: “Hello, and welcome! Here are a few other nostr newbies who just introduced themselves too: @Alice, @Bob, @etc.. why not start with sharing what brought each of you to Nostr?”

Something like that 🤙

How does one write a nostr bot? 😅


How to enhance your experience of Nostr, “home feed” edition. Lol

#grownostr nostr:note14chaxacmcwyfqny4k29jyzelw87fulxe52m5ljjwqw9gc5yq66vsyajlhx


Hell yeah!

Some clients allow you to follow everyone that someone else is following, so if there are a handful of accounts you follow and especially like, you can follow the same people they like.

You can also just follow anyone you engage with, perhaps after a quick scan of their profile to verify that you’re interested in their content

Building it up over time - as the real relationships also build - is natural.

You can also follow hashtags in some/most social clients, if you want better visibility into the discussion of certain topics or trends.

Hope this helps ✌

Good morning nostriches ☀

It’s pretty damn cool to be a part of this movement.

Rebuilding the internet, but with cryptography as the fundamental keystone.

No pun intended. PV 🤙


Id be curious what some of our client devs, especially for the social-focused client teams, think about this 🤔

A dedicated onboarding step where the new user gets tagged into the newest note in a thread under the hashtag #NewbieThread (or whatever), and a brief explanation of why the user was tagged, plus how to mute if desired?

Thanks man, appreciate the thoughts. I didn’t realize most clients don’t offer a “mute convo” like Damus - I assumed that was widespread by now 😬

My thinking was that a bot could find the conversation, check that a user is real/not spam, and tag them into the thread with a brief explanation of why (and how to mute, ideally).

I’m thinking that a more social-forward onboarding experience, one that gets around the early discovery limitations and introduces new users to seasoned nostriches and vice versa, could make a meaningful impact on user retention, if people get off to a good start 🤔

nostr:note10tztcml0dcrum9tvss0ftqjtq80fk29mjaqvvsx25eh8f2c6galqvqe476


Ooh yes this is fun. My mind went in the direction of more systematic onboarding, but perhaps creating a social experience first would be a better start.

Or really, I guess both (and more!) should exist, and the user has the choice of where to start 🤝


Oh sweet! I didn’t see this one. Sleep well and talk soon ☺🫂✌


Thanks for your thoughts!

Who is Zionsama? (Might just be an auto-translate complication, but not a name I’m familiar with).

Didn’t realize there were a notable number of inside jokes - but you’re probably right! It’s been months/years of community building, so my hope is that new users will jump right in and make connections. I’ll certainly try to make anyone feel welcome.

Is there a reason that nostr is “fast” in Japan? Do you mean that it’s busy, or that the internet/data transmits more quickly? Like technologically speaking?


Hey! First, thanks for your reply!

That sucks about the early bot experience. Not a fun intro. Most people here are very decent, though.

Anyway, “hellthread” is a term of endearment for a note with tons of tagged users, so that whenever someone replies, everyone who was tagged gets notified (and so the notifications from conversations within a hellthread can be pretty overwhelming). Most clients let you “mute” the conversation now, without muting the users whom you may still want to engage with in the future.

But it’s a good way to get a bunch of people to “meet” and find one another, which can otherwise be somewhat difficult. My thinking re: a bot account was moreso that it could “watch” for a newly created npub, perhaps with some filtration criteria to verify that it’s a human account and not spam, and then the “nostr 4 newbies” bot could comment on the newest note with a hashtag #NewbieThread (or whatever) and tag the new user, perhaps also with a canned response to explain what’s happening…

Nostr 4 Newbie bot? N4N?

N4Nny?

Like the nice nanny who suggests that you invite your new friend over after school? Lol idk at this point just having fun (and overtired 🫠)


A hellthread for newbies should happen. Great idea from nostr:npub1n0pdxnwa4q7eg2slm5m2wjrln2hvwsxmyn48juedjr3c85va99yqc5pfp6 🔥🤙

Maybe one thread gets auto-created per day, for new accounts? A bot could perhaps moderate (ie create and add accounts)? Or a client could look for a specific hashtag or highlight/group users some other way?

I’d love to see a client that incorporates this into the onboarding flow.

Something simple like a hashtag-based recommendation. “Join a thread with other users who signed up this week” and show the most recent conversations with the #NewbieThread hashtag or something like this.

Seasoned nostriches could also follow the hashtag if their client supports it (most clients seem to allow following hashtags now, right?), and we can chime in to offer technical support or guidance to the hatchlings.

Thoughts? Problems with this?

Sarah, a hellthread for newbies is a BRILLIANT idea. I’d love to see a client that maybe helps a new user find threads like that, based on a hashtag or something. hell yeah 🔥

One thing i wanted to point out - you mentioned you follow ~200 and are followed by ~400. I doubt you’re muted by many (mute seems to be usually reserved for bots and for particularly argumentative or unsavory accounts). I’ve followed you for a bit and your content is certainly not stupid!

So why does it feel quiet sometimes?

You need to follow way more accounts! I’ve been here since ‘22, I’m following around 1000, have around 3400 followers according to primal (but it’s never an accurate number), and I still have moments of feeling like it’s a bit slow.

Part of that is, it’s very early and there simply aren’t that many people here yet. I would definitely recommend following at least 500 accounts in order to feel like your primary feed is robust and active.

But also, it’s the absence of algorithms. The only algorithm that (most) clients offer is the simple chronological one. I absolutely love the “stream of collective consciousness” quality to this, but it also means that a post may only show up once for you, whereas that same type of post might be shown to more people, for longer, on a platform with “trending” and “suggested for you” algos.

It’s why “reposting the banger” notes is so valuable, such a meaningful action, when you see content that you like. You “vote with your note” when you quote or repost something, helping to bring someone’s idea to more people, while helping to fill out everyone’s feeds.

Anyway, hope this helps. You got me thinking this evening 😁🤙

Hey! Welcome back!! If you need any help getting into the rhythm of things, don’t hesitate to ask.

It takes a little bit of work to build connections, but it is SO worth it 🫂

Add the tags #asknostr and/or #plebchain if you need a little extra visibility on questions/getting your account set up (relays, wallet, NIP identifier, etc. — not urgent but some things you can learn gradually).

Anyway, glad you decided to given it another go!

More humans holding Bitcoin self custody is indisputably a good thing.

Slow, careful improvements to facilitate and scale self-custody, over time (with an abundance of caution for potential negative externalities) is perfectly acceptable.

Even if a fraction of humanity held Bitcoin in self custody, but using Bitcoin as a unit of account, store of value, and medium of (large-scale) exchange became the global norm, it would dramatically reduce central banks’ control/use of fiat currency, thereby reducing the systemic rot that fiat money inevitably becomes.

It would still lower society’s time preference, improve privacy (eCash banks, etc), and override our current system’s corrupt incentives that drive capital misallocation.

Yes, scaling self-custody to everyone is good. We should strive toward that ideal, and we will get closer and closer as the years go on.

But even if we don’t get “all the way there”, humanity is still going to be exponentially better off, simply from Bitcoin’s continued adoption and the low-time-preference impact it will have.

Blend your passionate drive with your big-picture zen. We’re winning.

It’s working.

I’ve gone back and forth on this a bit.

For me, I’ve settled on a middle ground. Retaining a bit of privacy so that I have the freedom to choose when and to whom I share my face/identity.

For sure, a 3-letter agency could run me through facial recognition for an ID in seconds, but I’m not trying to “hide” and I don’t need to put in the level of effort it takes to stay completely private from someone with those resources to de-anonymize me, considering I’m not worried about whether or not “they” know who I am.

But for a video thumbnail circulating the internet, I want a bit of privacy and freedom to choose which friends and coworkers (or AI-driven employment analysis software) sees my face in various social or professional settings.

It’s different for everyone, though 🤝

Morning Siddh!


As far as reproducibility:

1. Swap on chain to Lightning

2. Use a mobile Lightning wallet like Zeus or Phoenix to receive funds

3. Close the Lightning wallet (ie take your node offline) before the on-chain confirmations are done (ie before swap completes)

4. When the LN payment fails, the page I was on showed the above error (rather than instructions to upload the refund file). Refreshing the page fixed it so that you could upload the file successfully

I think I closed the window after taking that screenshot 😳 so I can double-check when I get home, but probably no logs. Sorry about that!

The air is delicious this morning. Good morning


We’re good! I assume showed as “undefined” because I hadn’t given it the refund file. But I was heading to diner and closed the computer, so I actually do still have the window open. Here ya go! https://image.nostr.build/e7d1c79d5128e7047bb8f3d954cd54a0b58a8c0e3fbec64f362635af91239d48.jpg


They’re so young here, wow. Love RHCP. All time favorites. Thanks for this!


Nostr lives rent-free inside my head and I LOVE it


Thanks man!


Ah ha, needed to upload a refund file first. All set ✅


Has anyone had a failed swap in nostr:npub1psm37hke2pmxzdzraqe3cjmqs28dv77da74pdx8mtn5a0vegtlas9q8970 when trying to move funds from on-chain to Lightning?

The Lightning wallet closed while the on-chain transaction was confirming, so the payment attempt failed.

Now the message reads “Enter address of your undefined wallet” to be refunded, but when trying to enter either a new Lightning invoice or an on-chain Bitcoin address, the “refund” button is shaded and can’t be clicked. What’s the missing link?

#asknostr


What would he required to build a mobile self-custodial Bitcoin wallet that can connect to a tradfi payment method (debit card, Apple Pay, etc) such that every time you swipe the card or tap the Apple/Google Pay device, it generates a Bitcoin transaction or Lightning invoice that you authorize from the wallet on your phone?

Services like Fold let you “push to card” with a Bitcoin balance, but it’s 1) a custodial service and 2) doesn’t transfer funds in real-time for a payment, but must be “loaded” first. It’s also 3) KYC which you could possibly avoid if my proposed wallet were linked to a simple prepaid debit card.

I guess the difficulty is still the move from Bitcoin to fiat rails in real time - technically complex but doable, but regulators will likely intercede if there isn’t full kyc…

Thoughts? #asknostr

Hahaha fair enough! Well I’ve heard good things about the Newark train so that might be your best move. As long as you plan out the timing/route with Google maps (or whatever) up front, it should be pretty smooth


Driving/parking in the city is totally do-able, but also can take a bit of getting used to. Depends where you’re staying, of course, if you’re spending the night.

I have family members who do the train from Newark periodically and they say it’s pretty chill.

MegaBus is also cheap af sometimes. And Amtrak is rarely cheap, but always pretty convenient.

Good strange morning

Woke up to a robin, relentlessly tapping on our window!

At first I thought it was a branch in the wind. But opened the blinds and it was this robin (it flew away then returned).

I’ve never seen a bird do this before. Is it noticing its reflection? Did a previous guest feed it through the window? Is it just trying to wake us up? Warning us about zombies? Does the reflection of trees look like bark?

I could only upload versy short clip but this has been on-and-off for 2+ hours 😂🫂

Also, when I startled it, the robin flew  away and went to work on another, different window (I could hear it through the house). Very curious…

PV for sure 🤙

Does anyone know birds? Why is this one being so funny?

Perfect start 🤙🤙


Absolutely not. Never going to teach malleable kids how to engage with other people in a healthy or constructive way. There is always a more constructive (and less abusive) way to teach a child that they did something wrong and how to be better.

Spanking is a reflection (in the most generous of scenarios) of a frustrated parent’s helplessness, but more often it’s downright aggression and abuse and no way to ever treat another human being. Especially one whom you love, and who loves and is dependent upon the parent.

Tough love has its (limited) place but physical punishment is way past the line. If an adult spanked you, you would either thank them, pay them, or press charges 🤷♂

Very nice 🤜🤛

NVK, I know your stance on Linux & raspberry pi. I also get the sense that you like Apple for most basic services (with trust tradeoffs, understood).

Personally, would you run a node on your Mac and trust it? Would you use dedicated hardware (Mac or otherwise)? Or open source OS like StartOS (plus or minus the Start9 hardware)?

Curious what the ColdCard guy with the boring podcast thinks 🫡

Thanks homie 🤝

Btw - are you the Enki that nostr:npub184cwc849sejs5pr566zcg4pqn53zzk85q70gmwqx7qt77h3suansvet30s was recommending on a recent nostr:npub14kw5ygpl6fyqagh9cnrytyaqyacg46lzkq42vz7hk8txdk49kzxs04j7y0 episode?


Yes. And yes.

Rugpull: it’s still a custodial service. Consider Wallet of Satoshi or Alby, two popular custodial Lightning services. eCash delivers a specific benefit over these services by dramatically improving the users’ privacy. But one still must be aware of the risks of not holding your own keys.

Fractional reserves: this is a risk with any custodial service, especially when you get into using a medium that represents the thing held in custody (cash to gold) rather than making daily withdrawals/transactions in the asset itself. As with above, a custodial Bitcoin service (without eCash) could still do this; banks can do this. Some do. But the option exists for demonstrating proof that the assets in custody are a 1:1 ratio to the tokens issued. How that would work is definitely beyond my technical knowledge, but my understanding is that it’s possible.

So - tradeoffs, as with everything, but arguably better tradeoffs than existing alternatives. Hope this helps 🫡


One more for the plebs in the back - useful info below, if you need it.

To the (many) users who are more advanced & familiar with eCash than myself, please let me know what I missed, or how I could refine it 🙏 nostr:note19f6mfs323r75269tfzfhkmkgnawc9pqvyv4hszz4e9qw4jp9gdnsflzsg8


So this one has me a little more hesitant. I’m comfortable being another anonymous face in the crowd, to help other users be more private. And with the preface that “legal” and “moral” aren’t the same, and many countries outlaw things that I think they shouldn’t, we also know that some people use Tor for illegal *and* evil stuff. My concern with running a proxy or a tor node is that if these users’ traffic is being routed through my device, then (legal or not) I would feel complicit in their activity, to an extent, and that gives me chills (the bad kind).

Being a face in the crowd still indirectly provides greater privacy for “bad” criminals, but it’s different than actually creating a road through which they can drive, so to speak.

Note, I’m not trying to make the case that you (or others) shouldn’t run the node. If anything, I’m hoping you’ll reply that it doesn’t actually work that way, and my concerns are allayed.

Alternatively I guess one could argue that unless “good” citizens take on the burden of defending everyone’s privacy by running this software, then nobody is going to have access to these tools to fight oppression…

Is that the argument, actually? That it must be done: we must deal with the discomfort of some of the heinous shit that happens on the dark web, even if it occasionally runs through your own hardware, because it means that freedom fighters globally can retain the means to communicate and liberate their societies?

Just puzzling through it all. Interested in your perspectives 🤝


Definitely - I’ve been trying to use Tor for more daily activities. Protonmail for sure, but also like journalism/news sites - precisely to just exist on the network and improve the privacy set for people who need Tor for their personal safety, free speech, etc.


😂😂😂

Tbh I love pineapple on pizza but only when it also has bacon or bbq chicken


And with eCash, each bank can create their own brand of “cash” (eCash token) on universally accepted “paper” (Cashu protocol), rather than one specific cash note design that’s controlled by the government.

With private/free banks creating their own notes, you discover a free market for cash and deposit institutions, such that users can choose the “bank” (mint) that they trust - perhaps they publish a verifiable proof of reserves, or they offer competitive benefits - theoretically improving the market for banking and getting away from the current landscape where you can only pick one of a dozen behemoths that are each terrible in various ways.


Hey Ava 🤗


Seems like the simplest secure setup for the average person is an always-on VPN, and using Tor (browser/proxy) for more sensitive activity -  managing your stack/wallet software, etc.

Right?

This whole world surely is a v4v, everyone-grows-everyone sort of setup 🫂🤙


A mint could be anyone, from a single developer or small startup offering a Cashu wallet app, to a national bank holding Bitcoin in reserve and issuing eCash tokens o their clients. The latter is probable, in a hyperbitcoinized future where on-chain Bitcoin transactions are prohibitively expensive for the average user, meaning that opening a self-custodial Lightning channel is similarly cost-prohibitive, and so we implement an eCash workaround that allows users to operate on a Bitcoin standard and stack “eSats”. Mutiny Walley offers this already, so that a new user with no Bitcoin can receive zaps and begin accumulating micropayments, until they’ve earned enough that opening a Lightning channel with those funds is actually rational.


Appreciate the insight 🤝


I don’t see any way to swap sats from Lightning back into a federation on nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg — am I missing something, or is this a one-way option for the moment? It looks like you can swap between federations but not from LN > eCash.

I ask in part because every time I try to pay an invoice (large or small) today from my mutiny channel, I’m getting “failed to find route”, but I’m trying to pay a large custodial node. I was hoping that if I send from the federation instead, I might be able to avoid the route issue.

eCash is a custodial but very private way to send a “bearer instrument” (like cash) back and forth, but (unlike wallet of satoshi) the custodian doesn’t really much about who transacts with who, or for how much, thanks to the cryptography involved.

With Cashu, it’s an eCash protocol, but instead of representing dollars (which is why the first eCash experiments failed), a Cashu token’s value is pegged to Bitcoin, and the custodian (“mint”) presumably hold exactly the right amount of Bitcoin in relation to the value of the Cashu notes they have issued.

Happy to answer questions if unclear; I’m still learning this myself 🤙


Cool, that makes sense. I guess it isn’t actually transferring anything from the pruned node anyway. Just replacing the storage location and adding data.

Same could be said then, I presume, if someone has a 1TB hard drive and the timechain eventually exceeds 1TB. They’ll need to get a new/larger external drive, restart the IBD there, and then point the node to the new data storage.

Thanks for helping me think this through. Studying Bitcoin means learning so much about so many diverse fields. Energy systems, economics, computer science, political philosophy, game theory, the list goes on 🫡


Haha probably you but it’s close!

Just finished listening to the Matt & Matt episode of CD, so this is precisely the idea I’ve been toying with


That’s a very acceptable way to think about it. And it does seem clearly distinct from some random crypto with an alleged 1:1 peg. I’m not entirely sure why yet, but it’s like I can tell there’s a difference in my peripheral vision 🤔


Thank you’d I’m not sure what CP or rsync are — I’m not a dev and have nearly zero CLI experience — but I’m eager to learn and in the process I have many questions and choices fo make. So I am curious what it would take to “convert” the node…


That’s legit. Now if your full node were simply run on a laptop with a huge amount of storage, would that be a relatively straightforward “full node for travel”? (Obviously that would be absurdly costly if the only need was a big node, for example, the 1TB MacBooks are thousands of dollars 🫠).


Meaning run a second node? That’s where I’m leaning in this thought experiment. Also an opportunity to run one on a laptop and another perhaps on a dedicated box


Would you guys advise this because it’s easier, essentially?

I have no idea what the process of swapping storage locations would entail…

#node questions

1. You decide to run a pruned node. Let’s say 10 GB limit. The time chain weighs ~575 GB (if I remember correctly). Node/computer’s available storage is around 250 GB.

You expect you may want to convert the pruned node into a full node in the future. It won’t fit on your computer, so you plan to buy an external drive.

Is it relatively simple to “move” your node’s data to the larger storage hardware and re-download the (full) chain, without pruning?

Is it better to simply spin up another node and have two? ✌


Much appreciated 🤙


Fair point. Looking at it like cryptographic custody rather than actually holding an asset


You already are.


Lightning Bitcoin is Bitcoin because you can self-custody if you wish.

You can’t self-custody Liquid. Is it a shitcoin? Is it one that we approve of because we trust and respect the bitcoiners behind it?

If some crypto-blockchain startup built a “shared-custody pegged-to-Bitcoin” token, they would not be received kindly.

What makes Liquid different? (I’m actually asking — not trying to stir up controversy). L-BTC is obviously serving a potentially valuable role in Bitcoin’s story.

What sets it apart from another generic cryptographic pegged token? #asknostr

Hi Karnage 👋🫂


Hidden Repression was one of the most eye-opening books I have read in my adult life.

I was generally aware of some of the basics - mostly through what you wrote about in some of the pieces that formed CYFP, but I had not fathomed the scope of the systematic and deeply entrenched financial repression that allows the dollar to hold its value, or the negative externalities born by real people I may never meet that make it as easy as it is for me to type this message on an iPhone right now.

Alex, yours are two of the first books I recommend when discussing Bitcoin. It removes the common lens of “crypto-Lambo-investment-advice” and instead shows anyone with a heart and a brain that humanity needs a new way.

Could we customize our NWC budget for the time frame, not just the total amount?

Ie I could set a budget of 300K sats per month, but that’s a higher spend threshold than I’d like to leave open. But I’d rather set 10K sats per day.

That way I have daily security — if my account is compromised, nobody’s going to spend 300K sats, and I also won’t need to manually delete and re-add my NWC string to my client every day or week.

Two or three nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 feedback points aka feature requests 😉🫡

- Ability to select multiple photos from your iOS photo library to upload, rather than only one at a time. It’s very tedious at the moment to upload more than a couple shots. I thought I saw an issue for this on GitHub but couldn’t find it when I went to look again yesterday.

- Ability to post long-form notes. I know nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s you mentioned a while ago that you don’t want Damus to be an “everything” client, which I understand and agree with. But I’d argue that long-form posts aren’t that much of a jump from the existing setup, since you can write long regular notes and they just get “…-ed” in the feeds. But I have not put my primary nsec into another client and I’m not about to start, so it would be a huge value-add if I could write long form posts here and not have to quote my other npub(s) from another client when I want to write & share a long form note. It’s enough of a barrier that I basically don’t do it.

Maybe make it a purp-only feature?

- It would also/alternatively be nice if Damus supported a little markdown in regular notes, assuming the protocol supports that (but I’m guessing it would be a client-side question?) — in any I’d love to be able to hyperlink text and use basic formatting like bold & italics.

Let me know if these would be better submitted as GH issues btw.

You’d need a new device (or import the seed from backup to your hot wallet — but don’t do that) in order to sign a transaction


Thanks, this is what I’m thinking, too. The “new” seed (ie 24 + 1 words) should be on the hww, not the watching wallet


Thank you for the semantic correction — you’re right and I should be more precise 🤝

If I understand correctly, I must set the passphrase directly on the HWW (which will actually hold the additional word) rather than in Sparrow, Electrum, etc.?

Thinking it through from this perspective, that does make perfect sense.


Thanks - so do I need to reconnect the hww to the watching wallet if I want to set a new passphrase? As the additional word would be stored in the hww 🤔


Ty this is very helpful!


Thanks!

The friend I quoted! Told me he had tried nostr a couple times and the idea of it was about ready to die in the back of his mind (if I got that right, B?). But man, as we talked, I saw the lightbulbs going off!

It was also a good reminder that discoverabiity is tricky. I tried searching him by npub and name with no luck. But as soon as he added a relay I use, he was instantly able to tag me (and our friends at pubkey). The importance of the right relay set for new users can’t be understated. (And I guess we all know that, but seeing it work in the midst of an excited conversation gave the whole concept more depth for me).

#asknostr

Imagine you have a hardware wallet with no passphrase, and it holds existing funds. Then you add a passphrase. Is the following correct?

1. The passphrase wallet will be new and empty
2. The original wallet still exists with all funds, and can be accessed by leaving the passphrase field blank (in Sparrow, or whatever watching wallet) when opening the wallet.
3. You can create a passphrase in your watching wallet without needing to reconnect the HWW, assuming you have previously imported the xpub.

Absolutely. This got me thinking, too. I wonder if some of the people who work in restaurants - chefs and career waiters - have an open-heartedness in this way where they get an oxytocin dose from feeding strangers. From the conversations I’ve had with people (restaurant industry is pretty connected to wine) this definitely seems to be the case 🥂

I think it does! I was wondering the same and imagined how I feel in my chest and gut when I make someone a meal and they love it. It’s definitely oxytocin!


You make a good point. I’m looking at the technology being a cause of some communication (or even consent) failures, but perhaps it’s a way to circumvent those instances instead. “Some people should be alone” kinda thing. Thanks for your perspective.

Net negative is my gut reaction… if it’s too “easy” to get satisfied, people risk forgetting/never learning how to engage with another human in a healthy sexual way (whatever “healthy” means is open to interpretation, but I’m referring to mutually-delightful sexual interaction).

Regardless of downstream implications for society, any reduction of that beautiful interpersonal dynamic can’t be better for most people.

PS: I’m generalizing of course, and there will be exceptions. But a gut check says *net* negative.

PS: i’m just letting some thoughts and reflections percolate. Forgive me if it comes across as a rant at all — it was not directed at you ✌


Totally makes sense. I’ve had mixed opinions over time, although as a generalization would normally think it’s okay. I was lucky in that my wife had spent her adolescence reading medical textbooks (for fun - she’s a bit of a “hot nerd” lol) and then she spent a few months of 2020 deeply reviewing dozens of these vaccine studies, from a range of sources and providers (and financed by different & sometimes opposing entities). Even from the early days, she was very sure that this one and another (J-and-J?) were bad news, and both times was proven right. We also have a few people in our intimate circle with severe health vulnerabilities, so, especially when people were dying left and right at the beginning, we felt it necessary to proceed slowly and with extra caution.

The different vaccines all had their ranges of risk-to-efficacy balances, but those ratios were essentially changing all the time as new research was produced and a “new-to-humans” virus repeatedly mutated (as they tend to do). Combining all of this with an already polarized and distrustful population makes for an abysmal public health scenario, even if you could somehow remove the financial incentives, ulterior motives, and not-infrequently-horrible history around vaccine tests.

It was mind-boggling to witness people across the world trying to grapple with such a nuanced scenario, with continuously evolving and fairly advanced/difficult/confusing science, vehement public disagreement, and blanket statements coming from all sides, especially when trying to somehow make decisions that impacted peoples’ health (or mortality) from multiple angles: “Masks don’t work, wait yes they do, wait now you have to wear them, but only some masks protect you, all vaccines are safe and equally effective, actually some are better, actually some of them aren’t that safe, that’s okay it’s a better trade-off to get vaxed because the risks are low, actually that’s only true if you’re a high-risk individual, actually it’s better for all of us, actually that depends on your existing immunity level, etc etc oh yes and by the way please stay in your house until further notice” like holy fuck man… who could possibly expect any average citizen — regardless of intelligence, education, or demeanor —  to handle it well?

I worked remotely on-and-off, focused on cooking and getting fit, discovered Bitcoin, and strengthened my marriage to a point where our relationship has ever been, and even with all of that, it was a very difficult couple of years, and I consider myself incredibly lucky.

It’ll be a while yet before out collective psyche heals from all the chaos.


Fair enough. I think of the above as a general guideline - naturally a complex society will require various permutations of that ideal, if it’s going to provide its citizens with the freedom to truly freely live their lives.


I’ve been toying with the idea of doing this as well. But my dev skill is around a 1 (out of 100). Does this require a bunch of CLI or is it as simple as downloading StartOS and clicking “install”? Or somewhere in between?


🎯

Absolutely.

Fits directly with classical/Rawlsian liberalism - the state should only exist insofar as to preserve each imdividual’s rights to live as described above, up to and until the point where one’s doing so impedes another’s ability to live as they wish.


“All people should live the life that they personally consider most fulfilling and enjoyable, if they can” is about as much of a *should* as I’m down with.

If anything, they’re proof-of-work. For most people, at least (unless your money comes free). You gotta work, provide value, trade your time and energy for money that you save and then trade for a ring, which you then give to another human as a representation of your desire for their partnership and of the work you have both already completed to build a relationship strong enough to sign contracts about it.

So it really is you 🥹 the 314. Missed you around here 🫂

LOL what can I say, great minds think alike 🤝😁


I just learned how to set up a custom email address to be sent from my own domain, through the Proton mail client… and it worked!

Basically, just had to add a handful of DNS records to the domain and that was about it. But still, it was kinda technical — feeling proud of it.

I like this one


Great answer 🤙🤙


Some of them are. But it’s early.

It’s also interesting that previous generations’ way of storing wealth used to work better, but as the fiat currency/economy continues its inevitably hockey-stick trajectory of inflation, traditional means of storing wealth become less effective.

How can you measure the value of stocks or real estate when the currency continuously devalues? What about the safe bond investments of our grandparents, now that the interest earned on them doesn’t beat inflation of the money supply?

Perhaps something completely outside the fiat system - a globally accessible money with an immutable supply - can prove to be a stable store of value not just in its early years of high-velocity adoption, growth, and monetization, but for decades to come, across generations and civilizations, satisfying the most basic of survival necessities and allowing higher levels of innovation and general human flourishing.

What’s the emoji for fulfilling inner peace with mild euphoria?


Forgot to say good morning (Saturdays are like that)

Happy weekend frens ✌
