Understood as far as the relative futility of the hashpower.

When you say abuse pool resources, do you mean that it would unfairly draw from the pool rewards by “contributing” (with no chance of actually helping anyone), or that from a logistics, tech, or administrative view it would just create more headaches?

New to mining here (and waiting on some real rigs) so I appreciate the insight 🙏

Seriously though


Elsat, appreciate you chiming in.

When I read “on record” I typically take that to mean “since humans started taking regular measurements”. I’d also be curious to know whether the planet would have been tolerable for human activity 50 million years ago.

I think there’s a “middle way” here, that can acknowledge the impact human activity is having on global temperatures, which is likely to create *both* negative humanitarian outcomes, as well as improved technology for managing the environment in which we live. (I’m familiar with the “fossil future” theory from Alex Epstein).

I’m not in the camp of “we need to panic and control how people live”. I’m sure you’ve seen me write many times about how individual choice is always the way forward. And when the billionaire WEF “climate advocates” drive ever-higher carbon emissions in their private jets while telling people in developing countries to eat cricket flour, it’s hard not to wonder, wtf is this about. And I’m certainly not choosing my investments based on wall street’s idea of “environmentally sound” choices because we all know those incentives are broken.

But when I hold all the different factors, including historical events, independent science, mainstream narratives, general hypocrisy, and the incentives of people and firms on different sides of the discussion, my reasoned conclusion continues to be that it would be really great if we could put less carbon/methane into the atmosphere and increase human energy consumption from sources that cause fewer negative externalities.

Side note - One of the things I love about nostr is the opportunity it provides to engage with people whom I like and respect, on topics that are traditionally “inflammatory” or “triggering” on classic social media — which in other contexts always seems to lead to reductive useless banter, and instead typically find common ground, or at least mutual respect.

Heading to bed, but always glad to engage. It’s a special thing we’re building here.

Ram Dass described moments of feeling free, enlightened, divine, etc., which was exactly when his teacher told him it was time to go back to NYC. To live “in the world” and integrate those lessons.

Are there any reliable stats on how many people (Americans citizens, or otherwise) believe/recognize this?

It can be discouraging for me, often in Bitcoin-adjacent discussions, when the more conspiracy-minded plebs fail to verify, and simply trust their favorite counter-narrative influencers.

I dive deeply into “don’t trust, verify” on this topic, and the independent science around global warming suggests that it’s very fucking real, albeit with an unclear timeline.

A handful of people whom I love and respect think it’s a “deep state” scam. But “badly aligned incentives” isn’t the same thing as “it’s a plan devised to keep you in your house at all times and control your food” 🙄

Which brings me back around to wondering: is it the niche, highly skeptical Bitcoin circles where these perspectives prosper? Or are there still a lot of people drinking the Fox News Machine kool-aid?


Oof…

I get if someone “doesn’t get it” (even if they’re the richest person in the world) — getting it takes work!

I feel like BRRR was picked by a fiat disrespector so that gets a few extra points. Otherwise 🤷♂


Of course! Makes it obvious. But as a general rule, that’s also subjective (even if most of us can agree that shitcoiners are shitcoiners).

From an objective stance, the question of “does this help a majority of Bitcoin users” is pretty much all one needs to ask to determine whether a project or fork or regulation is “good for Bitcoin” or not


I feel like with all the ETF news, this did not get enough attention

The beautiful thing about non-dualism is that it’s completely integrated with any other philosophy or spiritual approach. “And that, too”, meaning that if it exists, it’s part of This.

So materialism and worldly living is an integrated part of a non-dual philosophy or panentheistic universe.

Non-dualism might not be compatible with every religion or scientific philosophy, but every religion and view is compatible with non-dualism.

(Or perhaps the invoice failed but is not reflecting a refilled balance in nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm 🤔)


Oookay…. Restarting the app got the invoice to work. But I paid the invoice (from a well-connected custodial node) and the funds have yet to appear in Aqua.

Does the first Lightning receive require an on-chain transaction, as with other mobile Lightning nodes, before the funds will appear?

I’m one of those “in between” users who appreciates simplicity but also wants to be able to investigate when things don’t work intuitively or as expected.

Thanks in advance 🙏

It does suck that they’re all pretty pricey. Blockstream Jade is a lot more accessible. Bitbox (Bitcoin only edition) is a little cheaper than the priciest Trezor, and trezor’s entry model comes in around 60 bucks.

Bear in mind I have never used trezor. People are pretty opinionated (for and against) but my understanding is they recently added a secure element to one of the models, which should reduce some of the disagreements about how it should be built.

Hope this helps 🤙

And anyway, to your original question…

5% of your stack on a ledger with only Bitcoin account. After you initialize it on Ledger Live, you can delete ledger live, wipe the device, and create a new seed phrase in Sparrow (or Electrum). You may not even need to wipe the old seed - just add a passphrase for a new set of addresses that ledger hasn’t seen.

For me, I wouldn’t. You’ve covered a number of thoughtful technical workarounds. But for me, it is far easier to lose my trust than it is to earn it back. And Ledger just hasn’t done anything to earn back a place in my setup.

Doesn’t mean you’ll lose Bitcoin on a ledger. But I sleep well knowing where my Coldcard and Bitboxes are. If my coins were back on ledger - even with the robust extra steps you describe - I would feel anxious.

I pretty much always vote for giving the user their freedom/choice, in nearly every circumstance.

As a no-delete believer myself, I do like seeing that the process of sending a truly ephemeral note is a bit more difficult/complex and requires more intentionality than simply publishing any note.

Bitcoin seeds (when stored well) are much more secure, assuming they’re offline.

Nostr keys are “hot” in pretty much every circumstance. Perhaps there’s a way to generate a nostr keypair offline with dice (I have no idea) or with a HWW-style random number generator…? But even so, it would need to be able to sign so many activities on a regular basis…

But then again this gets me thinking - a personal “yubikey” style nostr signing device for most digital activities. You could choose to have multiple if desired. It could serve as an ID (for work, or apartment access, etc.), or it could be anon and used for payments. Or any other permutation. It’s an interesting idea.

But your initial question was about a universal *client*, not a universal keypair, which comes back to the issue that if the client is compromised, your keys might be too.

I.e. your seed phrase is fine in your coldcard, but if you import that seed to BlueWallet and then your phone gets hacked, bye-bye money.

Morning Bell by Iman Mersal

The eye opens like a curtain rising
In the dark, feet search for something real
Consciousness hasn't happened yet
And the floorboards are skin temperature
A fresh repetition, today will be one more or one less
An impromptu concert strikes up in the kitchen
Maybe this black coffee is the morning bell —
the prize you win for returning safe from sleep

I thought your update was only relevant for paid subscribers (which I’m not, yet 🫣) but it seemed that my uploads in Damus are way faster nonetheless.

So I was assuming that uploads through Damus are considered “subscribed” as though Will had some sort of “group account” for Damus users. Does it work anything like that or am I imagining this? Lol


Great pod. Is Gabriel on nostr?


Feels like a Van Morrison sort of evening 🎵

Yo! I’m using Damus “integration” so maybe Damus is automatically a paid subscriber? Because my photo and video uploads just got fast as fuck

Nice work ser 🔥🔥🔥


Hey nostr:npub1zafcms4xya5ap9zr7xxr0jlrtrattwlesytn2s42030lzu0dwlzqpd26k5 nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s found a lil bug for ya

This post has enough images to make the little slider dots push beyond the phone screen, so it seems to be forcing the text off-center/off-screen as well. Here’s a screenshot of the post & vid of the my quote draft as it appears for me (iPhone 11) https://image.nostr.build/bc8020310845eb108f3f1053dc975b86ae205a698ff6c3748933d0c40105d4a3.jpg https://video.nostr.build/e98479330e7103270cf5a097244f6f343971261cb7aa0c6c11564c077305726f.mp4  nostr:note1v0kxjw85raw27ksd87v6qrk9pg3t7fec4mx3s2wf7p2fd3xadj4svvd2xe

No sir! I don’t even put this nsec in a browser extension. Created an account months ago (I think?) and must have used the same pfp lol


And of course the most important question…

What are the best games for stacking sats while laying in bed?


Hey look, that’s me. Couple questions:

- How do you tag another user in the ZBD client if not with the @?

- Is it possible to export your nsec yet?

- If your “gamer tag” is the same as your nostr display name, is there an automated NIP-05 set up along with the Lightning wallet?

These are technical curiosities. It’s a very smooth experience for a new user all around - nice work!

🤣 good point — I’ve always thought it’s less fitting for drunks. “Truth” in those cases often seems to be a warped perception breaking through reduced inhibition. Or something nuanced like that.

Kids on the other hand. They call it like they see it 😂


My kindergarten told me a couple nights ago that the government is “bad guys” because they “take everyone’s money.”

I can only aspire to be at his level one day 😂🤣


“Children and drunks always speak the truth” I think the saying goes


I would watch it and zap the fuck out of that video.


You rebel, you 😂


A couple of minor additions, if I may

If the ETF is rejected, we dump and I stack more Bitcoin and zap sats. If the ETF is approved and the price pumps, I stack more bitcoin and zap sats. If the ETF is approved and the price dumps, I stack more Bitcoin and zap sats. The goal is to stack more #bitcoin and zap sats. It hasn't changed. Don't forget the plot.

Everything up until now will be looked back on as “The good old days” by the Bitcoiners that are in right now.

The ETF approval is going to bring in an entire mass of people that don’t care to understand how #Bitcoin  works, and will have no incentive whatsoever to learn about it either. They will buy and hold the ETF product and benefit from price appreciation just like the rest of us.

The beautiful thing about Bitcoin is that everyone who truly understands what they own right now had to come to an understanding of Bitcoin through truth. No shortcuts or handholding. If you didn’t properly custody or learn how bitcoin works then you most likely either lost it or sold it by now.

If I had to assume, I would guess that these current holders are much more moral people than the ones that are about to enter the market.

My fellow Bitcoiners, do your best to hold onto what you have. Those of us that hold this precious asset into the face of mass adoption will have immense power to shape the world in our image. Let’s go and make the world better than how we found it. 🧡


Literally nobody’s in so sure LFG

Muun can be a great wallet, but in a high fee environment like we have now, it can be absolutely brutal. I only use Muun when fees are low. Here’s why:

Muun stores your funds on-chain (and they send a Lightning transaction for you separately). It’s still pretty self-custodial, but not perfect. But the point is that when you have a bunch of small UTXOs, they have to be combined to send in bulk. So all those little “Lightning” zaps you received begin incurring on-chain fees when you send them out. It was going to cost me $40 to send $200 last month.

I would recommend using a “node in the phone” like nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 or Phoenix. Both self-custodial.

They are a bit more technical, but still very easy to use while still learning about Lightning channel use, and no hardware cost besides your mobile phone.


Mannnn yeah it would be nice


You said “heuristic” but I heard “hat” https://image.nostr.build/a073a278777b6ef274b9c623d82b51763adb9c52c09b808d62446262de1359ea.jpg  nostr:note1elyqvzecxjd7peerrkhy9reg7xnwj0tpyjd0vk9nutmusf09524s3fx5v9


Hopped on a boat. Went out into the ocean. Accidentally chucked my hardware wallet, seed phrase backup, and phone with a node in it overboard. No more Bitcoin.

Guess I’ll have to start over 🤷♂


Boating accident 😞


The longer I hold Bitcoin (I don’t have any bitcoin), the more I want the price to stay low/drop.

It went from expecting immediate 10x to wanting more time to genuinely preferring a period of time where I can trade my dollars for more sats.

🤙


I think having a "Trust nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx" heuristic and then verifying will put you on the right path more often than not.


Awesome thank you both!!


Proud dad moment today. I set-up wallets for my kids and put money into them last Christmas. Today I showed them that the value had doubled.

My son ran upstairs and came back down with a $50 he got from an aunt and said “can you turn this into bitcoin for me?”. My daughter ran upstairs and came down with a stash of cash too.

We talked about how inflation is theft, how bitcoin works and why it’s important to save for the future. Awesome morning. https://i.nostr.build/yWOP.jpg

Goodnight 🫂🥱🛌💤


Ah, gotcha! I know CakeWallet integrated a few swapping services for going from Bitcoin to Monero etc.

Maybe try starting with ChangeNow.io

But they don’t go straight to L2. You’d need to send from Bitcoin to Lightning via Boltz.exchange or similar. Maybe slightly cheaper to use the funds to open a channel on Phoenix or Zeus, and play around with self-custodial Lightning if you haven’t before. You can still receive zaps to Alby (I do, currently) and send zaps from Zeus etc.


Hmm. I always assumed you could either have a single xpub per seed phrase, or have multiple “wallets” by adding a passphrase to a seed - which I believe generates a new xpub. But this may be a bit beyond my technical know-how, at this point.

To your original question, the reasons not to give your xpub to swan include the privacy concerns I mentioned. If you move those utxos out of cold storage later (or just move to a different wallet), you can gain forward-looking privacy via coinjoin but Swan/onlookers would know you moved those coins.


Swan would only see the new xpub’s addresses. Do you mean you generated a new seed phrase on an existing hardware wallet? My understanding is they wouldn’t know your ownership of any addresses linked to a different seed phrase. But your Swan purchases would be sent to your new wallet and those would be visible to Swan (and any future bad actor).


Re: Google, fair point in general, but there’s no reason to publish all the other crypto stuff

WRT the remainder, respectfully disagree 🫡

This is just outstanding!! Seriously nice work.


Morning Karnage 🤜🤛


The reason is that swan will know all of your Bitcoin addresses and it will be tied to your name, address, full kyc info. This means that not only are your future transactions not private, but if/when they get hacked or leak customer data, your utxos and wallet balance are publicly tied to your home address etc.


Looks like he found another one 🫵 https://image.nostr.build/7af9bb1c51ad27210c9f43d713afb584921628b82ffffa25bb1afc6e5a244f2e.jpg


Except for portability


That corn monster looks like a giant alien sphincter but otherwise yes I’m cool with that 😂


Unless there’s some sort of crypto swap service that supports Lightning, you’ll probably need to trade it for BTC and open a new Lightning channel (or splice it in using something like Phoenix wallet)

Depends ultimately on what you’re looking for: do you want self custodies sats on the Lightning network, or are you ok with custody tradeoffs?

(Tbh I know nearly nothing about litecoin, but if there’s anything I can do to help a fellow pleb to replace crypto with Bitcoin, I will always try!)

Yessir


Just opened WoS for the first time in weeks, to create some sassy little invoice.

This is new. Guess any US-based users who still have sats here (or want to extract those 1-sat zapvertisements) will need to get comfortable with VPN server selection! https://image.nostr.build/bea370c6ccbe1112795498deadc74b165c7383b059270e2178c465dbe3ceb7cb.jpg


I mean…. feel free to zap me upwards of $10K. Hell, make it $20K. You just focus on zapping and let me think about the tax obligations


Which government?? What? Lol


It breaks the link between your spend of fiat and your acquisition of Bitcoin. If someone tried really hard, maybe they could find the blockchain transaction (unless it occurred over Lightning, like with RoboSats), and assume a correlation to some p2p send of dollars. But unless you’ve gotten someone’s attention for some serious reason — or live in an extreme authoritarian environment — this is a very unlikely scenario.

You can pay someone via any fiat method though, if that’s a concern. Venmo, Zelle, cash-in-person, etc.

More important in most cases is that there isn’t a centralized, hackable, capture-able company who knows exactly how much Bitcoin you own and what those utxo’s are. Because *that* link is where your financial privacy is easily violated. It’s not about keeping everything perfectly secret, for most of us. Just reducing the risk of personal data leaks when these exchanges inevitably get hacked. No need to tie your home address to your Bitcoin holdings…

Looking back, looking forward ✨

2023
- visited beautiful places I’ve never been
- deepened family and romantic relationships
- so much nostr: friends, client testing & feedback, participation in an inspiring movement
- my first pull request on GitHub
- stacked sats, went boating

2024
+ martial art or another physical practice (I’ve missed it dearly)
+ reconnect with old friends
+ multiple friends’ weddings in new places to travel to
+ more sat stacking (starting over)
+ more nostr: engage with introductions & otherwise contribute in as many ways as possible

Hey, you’re probably not signed in on Iris. If you only entered your public key (npub) you’ll be able to see everything (except DMs) but not write. If you try logging in to Iris with my npub, for example, you’ll see what I mean.

I’m not sure whether Iris allows you to log in directly with your secret key (nsec) or if it requires an extension like nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm - which is typically more secure than just pasting your nsec into various clients - but in either case that’s probably what’s missing.

(Note: don’t share your nsec with anyone publicly, or paste it into a client that you don’t trust, because anyone with your nsec has as much control over your nostr account as you do).


It’s been a hilarious and brilliant year 😂🫂🫂🫂


Ok to end 2023 I am reflecting back on this year on Nostr.
Here’s my list, make your own and tell us your highlights and lows on Nostr this year 🫂💜😂
The year that was on Nostr;
1 - best meme for 2023?  - ‘Come to the zap side’
2- best nostr nest moment 2023? - nostr:npub1m6gvtkek5sq3l82cfh7p3hs62ujxs6r8npre8m6jvvcm28utg05sde2e6g& nostr:npub12rze589jx0gg6kslkjfl2gxxkhtlw73t5shyve5qrglrv6c2qflqejj7ns  leaving me on nest stage(1st time ever) without making me a mod and then unable to bring anyone up so I started to talk to myself, best convo ever 😂
3 - funniest nostr note 2023? - nostr:npub1jcjxjg92200kdp8guw8sysg8gr0ez29hahrfdy49h30hgnkpa4kqfvmtwx  ‘penis butter’
4 - biggest zap of 2023? - With nostr:npub1m6gvtkek5sq3l82cfh7p3hs62ujxs6r8npre8m6jvvcm28utg05sde2e6g a 2 million zap I believe⚡
5 - lowest Nostr moment 2023? - allowing trolls to get to me
6 - best footstr pic 2023? - mine of course
7 - best thighstr pic 2023? - nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424  of course 😜
8 - favourite nostr friend 2023? - nostr:npub137c5pd8gmhhe0njtsgwjgunc5xjr2vmzvglkgqs5sjeh972gqqxqjak37w & nostr:npub1wtuh24gpuxjyvnmjwlvxzg8k0elhasagfmmgz0x8vp4ltcy8ples54e7js  💜💜
9 - favourite nostr drink 2023? - @🍻🤙☕Sergio☕🤙 nostr drink
10 - favourite nostr moment 2023? - when I posted my first foot pic then nostr had feet pics going on for hours!


Love Bedrock. Love Syrah. This must be delicious - cheers!

nostr:npub1zafcms4xya5ap9zr7xxr0jlrtrattwlesytn2s42030lzu0dwlzqpd26k5 Damus bug? Or hidden hashtag?

I re-followed #introductions yesterday and have been trying to engage with new users. But this note doesn’t display any hashtag…? https://image.nostr.build/b0707bce02c2e16318775924fbfa5b4806d0bc5070a75489b55aef5de4022f52.jpg  nostr:note177vz47jt8cp0ecx4ngrr700urw7nyxggzk8gzr3qxym8tc0w693qmp8qyt


Gen Z seems ripe for comprehending Bitcoin: dissatisfied with the current societal structure & financial system, little hope of building savings in the traditional way, and misinformation rampant on the web…

Ethical money, un-fuckable savings, and a public record of consensus-based truth sounds like the perfect fit.

It depends. If you want less than two FTE devs on payroll the current rate that Will shared.

If you want to empower nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s with a team of e.g. five (5) devs, maybe a designer, and throw jet fuel in the nostr kindle you can extrapolate.

There is an argument made that nostr is  layer 3, and few devs have done more to grow BTC/LN that nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s has with
1) the introduction of zaps
2) onboarding and educating of thousands to LN by way of nostr and an awesome user experience

nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f mission is to “support and maintain a sustainable ecosystem of funding for free and open-source projects and contributors, especially bitcoin-related projects and projects that help bitcoin flourish.”

“OpenSats provides funding for a variety of bitcoin-related projects, including:

Development of new bitcoin & bitcoin-adjacent software
Improvement of existing free and open-source software
Education and outreach about bitcoin
Research into bitcoin-related topics”

I would ask nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f if they have considered nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s for long term support given his merit and contributions in a short amount of time.

Probably I am biased - it seems that team nostr and team BTC would want to keep nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s not only onboard individually, but also empower him with a dev team to amplify his impact.

Imagine wasting your free speech on bigotry


💜

It’s so much easier to treat each other with kindness. I can’t imagine the histories and burdens that some people carry; the last thing I’d want to do is add to someone’s suffering.

And on the other side of the same coin, when we ostracize or abuse someone for being different, it’s not only cruel; it also does all of humanity a disservice, by limiting that individual’s freedom to contribute and be their truest expression of self.


Awesome.
This client has changed my life for real. Helped me connect with the world and make music, an album, climb Kilimanjaro with #zaps and set up a bitcoin hub in #Tanzania!

Jokes are one thing, but a lot of people fail to realize how easy it is to perpetuate the ostracization of people who are disproportionately the recipients of physical violence and discrimination.

Personal responsibility doesn’t just mean “not being violent”.

It means not being part of the problem. nostr:note1wq2e8cac9jv9t2e6prrj07n68gs7064gq970zcn0qngj9ss9jyjq55pvd6


psa: there's been a lot of uneducated sexist transphobic bigotry going on around Trudeau putting tampons in the men's bathrooms.

i can take edgy jokes with the best of them, but there is a line.

some are making pretty hateful humiliating memes directed towards Trudeau and trans-masc people and are acting like it's really about taxes.

it's not about taxes. tampons in the mens room are essential supplies, like soap, toilet paper, and tampons in the ladies room.

there are other areas to cut taxes. so get real. this is about transphobia.

i am blocking the accounts of anyone spreading similar transphobic, racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic hate speech bullshit disguised as "jokes"

i fight daily for people to have the right to speak their minds, but it becomes a whole other issue when it turns to hate speech.

fyi: hate speech is defined as “any form of expression through which speakers intend to vilify, humiliate or incite hatred against a group or a class of persons on the basis of race, religion, skin color, sexual identity, gender identity, ethnicity, disability or national origin.”

i condemn hate speech, but i defend the right to say it.

to those who would say they're just memes, just jokes, i say, these kinds of "jokes" taken too far are nothing more than ignorant, or intentional hate transmissions in disguise.

as always, be cool or gtfo.

I’m definitely more likely to engage with a quoted note than a repost.

Often, this is because a “repost-worthy” note has been reposted already by one or more people that I follow, because it’s still such a small community here. So I’ve usually seen the reposted note already, and would engage with the OP if anything.

I repost notes to increase their visibility while giving credit to the author. I quote post if I want to add something of my own to the content.

Good morning 🌄

Two very special occasions today…

Of course, it’s Christmas Eve, which is one of my favorite days of the year 🎄

It’s also my first anniversary on Nostr

I was a relative newcomer to the #stackchain on Twitter, and I came across nostr:npub13uuzptfm62qx7fn597nds86n0fvx4whzwmsp4lsc9225xu4jx28qtqnaq2' mentions of Nostr while I was overseas visiting family last Christmas.

I was massively jet-lagged, so when I would wake up at 4am in Europe, it was nighttime here and I listened to a handful of spaces with Derek and nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s and a few others, started testing clients and chatting with the #plebchain, made one of my first Lightning payments for a NostrPlebs Nip-05.

Within hours I was completely purple-pilled, and the rest is happy, hilarious, heart-warming history.

So grateful for nostr. Love you all.

Nice to see you here fren! I feel like it’s been a while 🫂


🥹 coming up on my first anniversary here soon, and seeing a note like Jake’s — five days in — makes me feel truly elated.

My experience (and many others) during those first few days was similar to yours… and I continue to reflect on it almost every day.

Nostr is many things.

It’s a breath of fresh air.

After years of the suffocating toxicity that is not only spawned by traditional media’s ecosystem, but actually underpins and funds the entire business model, we have all needed a break.

More than that, we’ve needed a solution. For everyone’s mental health. For young people’s brain development. For restoring the “sanity of the middle” that has been so distorted by algorithmic extremes.

We’ve needed nostr, because nostr fixes this. #grownostr nostr:note13lr77rkvh4xnsl8zvz8xs8sp3j308xdz8qfgeuf5t2rg6mdqqzfq0r89q2

Good morning

Gm!


If you trained an ai to update DNS records and create the necessary hosting file(s), it certainly could.

Nip-05 isn’t a verification of “valid user” in and of itself. But you need access to the domain itself to set a specific Nip-05 ID.

So if someone is John@bankofamerica.com then it’s a pretty good bet they work for BofA, because someone who owns the bank’s domain needed to set up their nip address.

Nip-05 also decentralizes identity verification by allowing a multitude of providers rather than one platform (ie Twitter), and if an account has to pay a small amount of sats to the provider (like with NostrPlebs) it’s likely to massively reduce spam/bots because of the associated cost of getting the nip from a community-trusted provider.

Free/automated Nip-05 IDs don’t really mean anything as a result.

Hope this helps!


Apparently Cyborg hasn’t figured out how to “nip” itself yet. You’re missing out, dude!

Yours seemed to work! Did you receive?


Hey Brianna 🤙

It’s only when I’m sending a zap from a mobile wallet like Phoenix or Zeus (and previously WoS) that I’m having this error, and only to certain receive addresses - but trying to evaluate if it’s mostly people with their own Lightning nodes who aren’t getting my zaps. Not sure yet. But I often get this with ZBD Lightning addresses:

Cc nostr:npub1zafcms4xya5ap9zr7xxr0jlrtrattwlesytn2s42030lzu0dwlzqpd26k5 this is what I was referring to. Still collecting examples and I’ll submit an issue for you guys 🫡 https://video.nostr.build/ef3d1b2a736caf188a54963289dd94fc80a10f593093b752eb54e4ae219d209e.mp4


Yes I frequently get a “failed fetching Lightning invoice” error when I try to zap people. It seems to occur when I try to send a private zap to someone’s personal node.

It seems to have worked on your note - but still shows the little “timer” icon so it hasn’t confirmed in Damus yet.

(I’m also doing this directly from a self custodial mobile wallet, not using NWC).


If you’re receiving zaps to your own Lightning node, can you please comment on this note?

Testing a bug with private zaps to individual Lightning nodes.

Without a doubt. At best it’s a misinformed solution to very real problems, and at worst it’s a scam that preys on the financially vulnerable.


Modern monetary theory is the sociopathic offspring of misinformed Keynesianism and manipulative trickle-down economics.

On its surface, the traditionall progressive view that “we can print infinite money, so we should print more it for the world’s marginalized people” is a noble goal, but it is a badly misinformed approach.

That printed money inevitably gets subjected to the Cantillon effect, and most of it ends up with inefficient bureaucratic organizations and unelected officials (who then endorse the MMT narrative), and not with the people who need it.

And it sure as hell does not trickle down.

This is a Bitcoin nost.

Good night nostr. Here’s a shower thought before bed 🫂⚡🤙

If hyperbitcoinization happens, and Bitcoin is a globally-adopted currency used in commerce, whether on the individual, corporate, or international level, it would be wise to expect varying degrees of filtering and censorship by different miners, at least for a time.

If countries use Bitcoin and support infrastructure for citizens to use Bitcoin (which is likely), then countries will likely also set up large Bitcoin mining operations — both as a means of making money as well as attempts to exert some amount of control over the network.

Yes, “blacklisted” addresses can pay a different miner a big fee to get into a block. But in this hypothetical future, most miners large enough to find blocks reliably will likely be regulated by their local and/or national governments.

Sometimes the stick is more effective than the carrot, and so these mining companies will likely care more about avoiding jail time and fines than about the value of censorship resistance. Just look at todays financial structure.

I will be curious to see how the tug-of-war between regulation and free markets plays out. Most of it will probably occur after any of our lifetimes, but still. Interesting time to be alive 🤔

Right there with you man.

Truthfully, before studying Bitcoin, I was very discouraged about the broken incentives of our system.

Now I feel like there’s at least a way to push back and fight for people’s economic well-being, whereas before it was looking pretty bleak.


It’s wild to me that masks got looped into the culture war stuff. People around the world have worn masks in public - for various reasons - for decades. When urban pollution is high, or there’s a lot of respiratory nastiness in circulation, especially in crowded places, it’s such an easy way to reduce what you breathe in.

The whole Covid-era “masks don’t work” thing was nonsense. Nothing’s perfect, but if masks didn’t help reduce stuff you don’t want to breathe in, then doctors and dentists wouldn’t wear them.

Most “behavioral mandates” are obviously problematic (although I think masks fall more along the lines of stoplights and seatbelts, and are not akin to vax mandates or fois gras farms, which is how many people reacted).

And if you’re dealing with a health condition that makes you more susceptible to stuff, that’s a great reason to protect yourself.

Respect 🤜🤛


Thanks!

If certain people pulled their heads out of their butts, they would see that Bitcoin is the absolute best tool for reducing atmospheric greenhouse gas emissions and achieving the modern world’s proposed climate goals.

If you do a genuine “don’t trust, verify” on climate science, you’ll find that reducing our carbon emissions is a very good idea, even if a lot of “ESG” is very much a scam.

This doesn’t mean we need to reduce humanity’s quality of life or societal flourishing. But our home planet’s well-being is pretty important nonetheless.

Fortunately, Bitcoin is massively well-aligned with that perspective.

Ahh. That’s really rough. So is there a situation where if fees get high enough a channel can force-close as a result of something contractual?

Or is it more that the unfortunately-timed force close just hurts extra bad when fees are high?

My guess is that “verified” (river article) and “kyc” (sharing your SSN, your ID, and your firstborn child) are different things in this context


I should have asked, what wallet or service are you using that is requiring KYC to swap between Bitcoin and liquid?

In other words, who’s asking you to doxx yourself? Lol

I’m pretty positive that KYC is not a requirement to use liquid. But I wouldn’t be at all surprised if certain exchanges require it…

I just read your river link too. I would assume “verified address” means an address you specified or authorized when you swapped in to Liquid. Some way to indicate that the peg-out is going where you intended… But tbh I’m not sure.


Are you using Blockstream green wallet?

I had no idea they did them anywhere else until today 😂

Last year was my first time - it’s such a cool experience!


Thanks fren 🤙


Thanks Connie 🫂


Thank you ☺


Only some users, only some of the time, but Matt is right that it’s usually when they’re receiving zaps to their own node and/or have a slightly unusual zapping address. Although I’ve also noticed it when trying to zap people with the zbd.gg addresses.

I am typically not using NWC, just setting a default wallet to open from Damus - Phoenix, Zeus, previously WoS.

Zap amounts range from 69-5K sats. I’ll see if I can replicate reliably 🫡

😂 nostr always has me coming back for more, it’s true


Could’ve been, but that should only have affected notes that were stored on the Damus relay and nowhere else, at least as I understand the system 🤔 but that was my first thought, too. And I’m not sure how many of my original relays I’m still using and which ones I added shortly after I turned purple 🤷♂


What was that you said on last week’s CD about the adoption curves of Bitcoin and nostr eventually crossing? Here’s a solid point for why that makes sense👇 nostr:note1fxrlpa3pqnk95fev0qxkmuwqul3h3gvglm35gntcz390a3z6z42svz0n7w


Going through some old notes

Any idea why, if I scroll waaayyy down to my oldest notes, it only shows notes I reposted or boosted, rather than ones I posted?

Why do you think udi only lasted a few days here 🙃


Have a great day Eshara 🤙


I think the toxic structure specifically was artificial, because it became clear - over time - that to generate the most ad revenue, a platform needed to manipulate their users.

If platforms and content creators can instead earn money directly from users, who willingly send sats for content they actually want, it completely turns the old incentive structure on its head.

That’s how I’m envisioning this, at least, and I believe that this prospect is one of the reasons people are so excited about using, growing, and building on nostr 🤙

Thank you btw, I really appreciate thought-provoking conversation 🤝


Cute prof pic 😂


Sound on for this one nostr:note1p80c4qxgzcpcu78ezrr72ww07npmtqlu3jxd3lj0zewsrqz6fw0sc0xpyp


I got a real good laugh out of this


😂 glad someone brought that to their attention!


This is the definition of best practices 🤙🫡


Hope you have plenty of time to rest, and recover. Move slow if you need to. And reach out if you need anything 🫂


Tested this on a more recent note.

Seems as though “private” zaps throw the error above, but anonymous and public zaps haven’t caused the same issue (for me, at least).

nostr:npub1zafcms4xya5ap9zr7xxr0jlrtrattwlesytn2s42030lzu0dwlzqpd26k5  is there already a GitHub issue here or should I submit o e? (I did a quick search but didn’t find anything)


Haven’t logged into Twitter since February. Never even had a chance to get KYCelon’d


Yo, just read your recent note. So glad you’re okay 🫂 I’d wondered where you had been lately. Love you my friend. Sending extra hugs (and like soup, or something) 💜💜


Would this approach also help to consolidate many small UTXOs for cheap(er), since those combined coins would normally incur much larger fees for any given sat/vB rate?


Muun is great as long as fees are low, and as long as you didn’t initially receive a bunch of small transactions into Muun. Since Muun considers your funds to be on-chain (always), then sending to an on-chain address with a UTXO made from many small UTXOs - that you received via Lightning - can still cost a ridiculous amount in miner fees. I know because I tried recently lol


Home made tex-mex-style chicken & rice bowls. Ain’t pretty but tasted soo damn good 🤤

Sweet, i just signed up 🤙


ColdCard and steel ✅✅

So you’re saying yes - use steel - for the passphrase (and store separately) for someone who is new to this, but is a quick learner?

When you say pre-programmed do you mean the feature where, when you begin typing a word, it suggests a list of possibilities according to the first letter(s)?


Helping a newbie set up a HWW and backup. To passphrase or not to passphrase?

I consider it equivalent (more or less) to using a 2-of-2 multi-sig, in terms of added security and added risk/responsibility.

Storing the passphrase separately from the words will improve your backup security. But both should theoretically be in steel… right?

What are your thoughts?

It’s just a calculator 🤷♂


Sometimes (rarely) I think it’s fine for a platform like Twitter to say “no we don’t distribute X content here”.

This is not one of those times. This anecdote is an excellent example of how algorithmic censorship is problematic, at best… nostr:note156f5mdy4t8jakz8rl7w3a67fdvknelgm2tdx3s6g67y082ecyjks5mwnzr


😂 you’ve got it 😁🫡


Looking forward to it 🙏🤙


Thank you! Definitely will. Silo looks awesome


That’s great feedback! I don’t care too much if a show or movie has a cultural angle… most do, in one direction or another, so I take that as part of it. I’m sold - excited to start this and I’ll definitely explore their other series 🤙🤙


Thanks!


I’ve been meaning to watch the expanse - didn’t realize it was a book series as well! But I’ve heard amazing things about it. Thanks for the feedback ⚡🤙


Nuance might not make for good clickbait, but it sure is refreshing to read.

Considering a free trial of Apple TV so I can watch Foundation. Loved the book, and the pilot episode was solid.

Has anyone seen the full show and can recommend?
