Thanks brother. Needed a reminder


I respect that. I got the lil micro one as a compromise: looking at it on my windowsill still gives me a little spark of excitement (the “cool” factor of case-less electronics) and it’s proven to be a useful conversation-starter when we have guests.

That said, the unit (like many things) may someday prove to be an extravagantly expensive toy, in terms of its Bitcoin-denominated purchase price… but this is true of any non-essential expenditure… It’s true of the essential ones too, but a man’s gotta eat 😂

It’s cool that every individual’s value-set or perspective varies in this way, sometimes slightly/sometimes dramatically. And what’s even cooler, is the impact that the experience of holding Bitcoin has on each of us, in how it shifts our way of valuing things, time, energy.


I’m a phone call with a client, and he had to take a customer; I’ve been listening to the two of them chat for the last few minutes about how somebody simply *must* open up a cheese shop next door… 🧀 dunno why but the whole experience feels kind of surreal 🤷♂


No joke!


It’s like the meme of two dudes grilling; one says something profound, and the other replies, “yeah…. So did you catch the game?”


Pleasure to meet you ☺


Eventually we’ll have good tools build around what nostr:npub1zuuajd7u3sx8xu92yav9jwxpr839cs0kc3q6t56vd5u9q033xmhsk6c2uc is doing with MLS encrypted groups and WhiteNoise.

I think there’s a huge opportunity to get progressives on Nostr because it’s the only social media protocol that can provide real end to end encryption and privacy. Bluesky, threads, the fediverse, farcaster and the others have all given up on the idea of privacy as being too hard.

Everyone on the left is freaking out and searching for freedom tools. And not just posting. I just listed to a round table of digital activists talking about strategies for the next 4 years. They brought up the need for a financial system that can’t be shutdown. From the anti-cop city Black Lives Matter activists in Atlanta to abortion access mutual aid networks, they’re all facing being locked out of the baking system and looking for alternatives. Let’s get them the tools they want and need. The tech is for everyone.


Stoked to see what Jeff builds 🔥💥

And I’m in complete agreement. I’ve long thought that Bitcoin is as much a progressive movement as it is a conservative one. (I know I know, it’s an oxymoron, but like… it’s also kind of true). I straddle both traditional camps depending on the issue at hand, usually landing within a “classical liberal” perspective.

Most of my closest people are left-leaning at least, that was until I found Bitcoin and nostr, and now my people are truly everywhere 🫂

But yeah I am eager for opportunities to help those closest to me start to understand Bitcoin, privacy, and freedom tech in general, now that more of them are beginning to understand why it’s important 🫡


Happy Thursday, nostriches 🤙

Busy start to the day today, with an ass-kicking workout and more fiat-mining-meetings than I care to count. Need more coffee please.

A late lunch break is a great chance for a little walk and fresh (cold!) air, though. Need some outdoor time.

How is your 🫵 day?

(Is it just me, or does the pointing emoji feel weirdly aggressive? Lol)

Beautiful indeed! I’ve always been so moved by Japanese woodblock art. Thanks for sharing these!


Very well-said. Hope you’ve been well!


I was looking for her npub a few months ago! Thanks man


Gorgeous


You could certainly be right… but my gut feeling is there’s enough truth to all this that it’s interesting

nostr:note1t9c0zptgcg6yfa7e0y3mcfejepwsf7l5xvv3k74pt3uxgmh6g7ps9dw397


I know. Like part of me wants to be skeptical but honestly, the “occam’s razor” take (imo) is that yeah, intelligent non-human life/tech is a thing, it’s been a thing, it’s here, and the people who know about it need to figure out how to responsibly disclose it to the public.

Could be a psy-op, and sure maybe it’s reverse reverse reverse psychology, sure… but I think it’s more likely real and we just get to deal with it 🤷♂


No question about that hahaha


Ha! That’s the one - it’s how I found the hearing lol


Yeah exactly. This hearing was pretty fucking crazy, to see the level of “yeah the US and other governments have recovered numerous non-human vehicles and other tech and we’re trying to reverse-engineer it, and we need to destigmatize it so that civilian pilots can be comfortable reporting what they encounter” 🤯🤯


😂 apparently lol


Always great to listen to his conversations. He was just on TFTC which is how I learned about this hearing


Meaning stuff like photos that would be stored in iCloud, or documents im Google Drive,  for example?

Figuring Proton Drive would suffice for now, pretty user-friendly, if she wants to take that step.

One of my medium-term projects is to set up a proper home server with something like StartOS and offer storage to family and best friends for whoever wants it. But I need to “put on my own oxygen mask” (and learn what the hell I’m doing) first 😉


Proton offers deals on their paid accounts pretty regularly, if that helps. With all the free stuff out there, I try to be pretty discerning about using a paid service, but proton is unequivocally worth the fee sats 🤙


Feeling accomplished 🫡 I just finished helping one of my leftmost-leaning family members set up a new VPN and move from Gmail to Proton.

Next step will be Signal, and then perhaps a service like Incogni or DeleteMe, although I’m not certain how useful those really are… (?)

Are there any nostr-native privacy tools (“other stuff”) that are worth recommending to a technology-competent newbie?

#asknostr #plebchain #privacy nostr:note1pwuzjf0yswn7cdl4g2vpntl3lvszjl8nk954vhd5n3kyzcxuheeqju5uc8


We’ll forgive you 😉


I know for the most part the haters that say Bitcoin has no use-case and is worthless will be haters no matter what, until they’re not.

BUT I do think journalists and the Bitcoin community can do a better job of pushing and amplifying things that aren’t just ETF this, microstrategy that, Bitcoin strategic reserve, etc.

But talk about how there are NO MIDDLEMEN, it’s peer-to-peer use cases around the world fighting dictatorship, the tech and protocol. It’s so special.

People will be unimpressed by a Wall Street toy to make more gains in the long run. But money separate from the state that is truly yours? Low time preference that is the winner and only hope.

Especially as inflation and governments continue to do their thing…

100% testify that orion is awesome so far! It's the only iOS browser that lets you install both FF and Chrome extensions! giving you access to every single nostr enabled website through:
Nos2x for chrome
Nos2x-fox for firefox
(Can use either on Orion tho!)

Once you've thrown your nsec into the nos2x extension, check out https://nostrapps.com and be blown away. I personally use Nostrudel but there are dozens! Pick your flavour 😝


Check out Orion browser. It lets you install Firefox and Chrome extensions 🤩 https://kagi.com/orion/

Wise words from a wise friend

Here’s an earlier attempt to  articulate some of these thoughts.

nostr:note1uh0kh8tksqdvuwca0z0lqul78aggxhj2f5ttt6r49me2tfpvujlqrd2tv3


Price doesn’t define freedom money.

NGU helps: more awareness & demand means that your currency can be more easily spent, and greater purchasing power means greater freedom/access to certain things.

But the peer-to-peer, legitimately decentralized, permissionless, un-hackable, generally un-fuckable nature of Bitcoin is what defines its value proposition in the first place.

Preaching to the choir here, I know.

But amongst all of the (entirely enjoyable) excitement during a price pump, it bears repeating that the reason we need Bitcoin is not to build fabulous wealth, but to help every human citizen protect themselves from theft and abuse.

Love you. Onward 🫡


Assuming the sats were purchased KYC, yes. There’s nuance even there, but the issue with even your local business potentially seeing “the entire contents of your bank account” when you chip off a piece of a UTXO to buy a coffee is a concern.

Protocol changes and privacy layers will continue to come to Bitcoin (the difficulty of changing Bitcoin now, where most noderunners are pretty hardcore about no changes, is different than it will be with millions or billions of nodes). In the meantime, I respect Monero as a privacy tool.

They solve different problems, IMO

Don’t apologize lol you’re awesome


They won’t. But we can still hang


Any time! Hope it goes smoothly and say the word if you get stuck 🤝


Chained, or gently tied to it with velvet, depends on your perspective.

Love my coffee 😂


Different (or overlapping) use cases IMO.

Bitcoin’s purpose is to break and replace the fuckery of central banks (and protect individual purchasing power). Monero gives citizens a form of near-perfectly private digital money. Both are important tools/movements in today’s society.

It’s a bit of a tired analogy, but gold bars and silver coins (except digital, decentralized, and unfuckable) always made sense to me.


Love me a good highland 🥃


Excellent point sir

For anyone who needs support on their journey to a KYC-free stack of sats…

The RoboSats SimpleX group is lively, and the trade coordinators are typically pretty active for anyone who needs it.

I looked this up for a friend. nostr:note1003trwalhjrdgnvujg2fu7zm599mz5frfxsnlg73l9jsmqkztvlq76tnnj


Here’s the nostr:npub1p2psats79rypr8lpnl9t5qdekfp700x660qsgw284xvq4s09lqrqqk3m82 SimpleX invite if I’m not mistaken

https://simplex.chat/contact#/?v=1-2&smp=smp%3A%2F%2F0YuTwO05YJWS8rkjn9eLJDjQhFKvIYd8d4xG8X1blIU%3D%40smp8.simplex.im%2FyEX_vdhWew_FkovCQC3mRYRWZB1j_cBq%23%2F%3Fv%3D1-2%26dh%3DMCowBQYDK2VuAyEAnrf9Jw3Ajdp4EQw71kqA64VgsIIzw8YNn68WjF09jFY%253D%26srv%3Dbeccx4yfxxbvyhqypaavemqurytl6hozr47wfc7uuecacjqdvwpw2xid.onion&data=%7B%22type%22%3A%22group%22%2C%22groupLinkId%22%3A%22hWnMVPnJl-KT3-virDk0JA%3D%3D%22%7D


It’s a bit of a learning curve. The bond invoice (if you’re an order taker) usually lasts 3 minutes (I think). But because of Lightning routing and the fact that Tor is slow, sometimes you can pay the bond but it won’t “show up” right away in RoboSats.

If the invoice expired before your payment arrived, the sats *will* return to your wallet.

If the sats arrived in time to pay the bond, it would have opened the order on RS. If you had thought the invoice failed and closed out the browser, then what would have happened is the seller would join and wait for you to submit an invoice for payout, but if you don’t, the order expires and you lose the bond.

Once you get familiar with it, it (usually) works pretty smoothly.

There are many moving parts, and with a highly private and decentralized system it can be trickier than the seamless UX of something like CashApp or Strike.

But those sats are soooo worth it haha

There’s an incredibly helpful SimpleX chat group for support. The coordinators are usually active there and can help you out if you get stuck with an order.


The #Bitcoin revolution matters more than the price

That’s very satisfying


Interesting how price pumps really bring out the sellers on RoboSats.

Sure I’ll help myself to a few of those wild and beautiful sats, thank you for offering ⚡🙏


Hopefully nothing too tough! I love good wind though


The old days of trigger happy zapping were good ones. I try to remain electric despite many newer nostriches having never known the thrill of sending hundreds of thousands of sats to a stranger on the internet for no reason other than because you can, and then to have it zapped back by someone else.

I’m thinking more in the context of just using it for a Lightning node outside of the context of nostr


If you don’t link the Alby hub node to a getalby account and/or NWC for zaps, does alby still have full visibility into your payments?

I respect this.

There are plenty of people living under regimes where the ability to transact with near-perfect privacy *by default* is of greater importance than a doubtless guarantee of supply cap/supply auditability, socially-approved transaction rails, NGU, etc.

I’d rather hold Bitcoin. It feels like Bitcoin will change (and fix) much of what’s broken in our society around money — the hard supply cap and transparent blockchain work to prevent a lot of the government+corporate+central banking fuckery that got us into this mess in the first place. I want to be a part of that movement.

A private digital cash might not solve those problems as well (nor is it intended to). Privacy yields its own benefits — the argument for using Monero is a solid one, and in certain circumstances, the tradeoffs strike me as acceptable.

My two sats.


It’s good to be here ✨ https://image.nostr.build/2c692d5e38133c26cb491d207e1723c6ea2166a8a036dfc065923fbbe2638acd.jpg

This is beautifully put — I think often about the interplay between choice and “karma” (in reference to fhe interdependent lines of cause and effect, rather than the personalized caricature of karma).

If everything is part of an energetic whole, and our consciousness too is a part of it, then every instance of being is simultaneously chosen and determined/dependent on the prior moment, with no paradox. Panentheism in philosophy, unified field theory in physics, “it’s/we’re all one” in meditation (and psychedelics)… the duality is complete, and the paradoxical views are consistent with one another (a paradox within itself), and it’s an absolutely beautiful thing to contemplate.

Thanks for your reply; thanks for being here 🫂


Lol. You do you. It takes a village to #grownostr 🙏🏻💜


Sats are still on sale. Opt out.


Cheers to that my dude. And good, I expect the tadpoles to keep you entirely exhausted and on your toes if you’re not shitposting here daily 😉

Wifey’s good too! We’re starting to “think about thinking about” pleblets, although it’ll still be a little while before we’re actually there. Got a bit more growing up to do first (myself at least, lol, she’s on top of it) and a bull cycle would be nice in terms of moneys. But still, it’s exciting to even look in that direction and start feeling more ready for it, as time goes on 🫂


This is also worth noting.

I do struggle with questions around why people whom I know, love, and respect, might make choices that I disagree deeply with.

I don’t love them any less. I won’t mute or unfollow someone merely on their voting preferences.

But it’s difficult to understand the gap. I have no love for Harris, but to me, Trump is obviously unfit to lead the country, so it’s hard when people I care about and trust are manipulated into believing otherwise.

My hope is that those who will be most affected by cruel policy are able to find Bitcoin and use it to protect their freedoms in a way they never could before.


Rare wisdom nostr:note15k8n234rxhuvcmqenl2jw38tdvn8kahtw69wc7p6u7cwr54sgt5s7s0ekq


Go outside.
Don’t tell anyone and don’t bring your phone.
Start walking and keep walking until you no longer know the road like the palm of your hand …
Just walk, see, sit down if you like. And be.
Just be, whatever you are with whatever you have, and realize that that is enough to be happy.
There’s a whole world out there, right outside your window.
You’d be a fool to miss it..

Wish I was hearing more of this and less “vote trump for price pump” [never mentioning the social cost of numerous freedoms, or goals like the introduction of military presence at protests exercising free speech]

I have no love for Harris, but the idea that the Trump regime would advance human freedom is nonsense. Unapologetic monopolists, through and through.

Bitcoin, regardless of whether it’s at 58k or 100k in fiat terms, is the first (only?) viable opportunity to remove oneself from this endless cycle.


Presidential elections have no bearing on the future success of Bitcoin as a global currency

It may have a short term impact on the magnitude of a price change, which is inconsequential in the long run

Nobody can stop an idea who's time has come


Long read, philosophers welcome, tl;dr-seekers beware 😉

I’ve been thinking deeply today about the concept of action: of freely manifesting the next instance of reality. This concept takes many forms, but today I’m looking at it in the context of speech and Bitcoin/cryptographic sovereignty…

*Running your own node fulfills the direct peer-to-peer nature of Bitcoin’s original state*

So. It’s easy to understand the practical case for running a Bitcoin node, with benefits like the ability to verify your coins and improved privacy.

But there’s also a philosophical consideration that I’ve been mulling over… and I’d love others’ input.

When running a node, you not only verify and sign transactions; you also broadcast them to the network, where another node (peer) can pick up the electrons (loosely described).

If you use your wallet provider’s node, you depend on them to communicate your desired transaction with your trade partner. By using another entity’s node, you sacrifice the pure peer-to-peer nature of the Bitcoin network.

Likewise, by running your own node and freely broadcasting your own transaction to your peer, you take full control of (and responsibility for) your action and its effect.

This isn’t to suggest that “you must run node to be good bitcoiner” or some nonsense like that (although it’s self-evident that running a node is usually good). Most of us still depend on internet and electric companies to achieve any of this stuff.

I’m moreso contemplating different setups and permutations of sovereignty.

There’s something beautiful about the process of communicating your intended transfer of value on your own terms, permission-less-ly, rather than asking a service provider to communicate it for you.

So, I’m coming to view it more as an expression of the principle of freedom of speech.

We know the code-is-speech case, but that’s a little different. As I understand it, it means that freedom of expression includes the math and language of code, such that code is included among in the types of speech to which we have a right.

On the other hand, I’m thinking about the moment of broadcasting a transaction from your own node.

Taking this action is exercising the freedom *to* speak, to express your intention of transferring value.

To broadcast a Bitcoin transaction, from your own node, is to declare your participation in this global network of near-perfect consensus.

I can’t quite put my finger on it, but there is something profound about that moment of action, of doing, of “is-ness”, of the truth and reality of manifesting action in the present moment.

Of course, grokking this profound experience is not constrained to Bitcoin transactions — the beauty of being/doing exists everywhere — but I’m struck today by the freeness of action, and how that action is itself an expression of the right to speak and to assemble.

There’s something exceptional about action - generation, manifestation, creation. When the freedom to speak is overlaid on the significance of action, then the choice to run your own node, and to broadcast your transaction directly to the network of your peers takes on a deeper significance and value.

Thanks for reading 🫂🧡

Depending on your technical level and your privacy preferences:

Robosats is a peer-to-peer exchange that runs over Tor, and is one of the most private ways to buy Bitcoin (ie you’re not tying your identity to every transaction you make, or making your net worth known)

I believe nostr:npub1ex7mdykw786qxvmtuls208uyxmn0hse95rfwsarvfde5yg6wy7jq6qvyt9 is now available in Europe. It’s an excellent way to stack Bitcoin, with an ethical company, but like most exchanges requires KYC and reduces privacy. Not sure if nostr:npub1cashappn03s3cl2ljsdntv0v28e2um5lgx4vjctqjt23pcwzjhsqmtdg5l is in Europe yet, but same thing. Also nostr:npub15369wu3wzzar5fclhecyqfv683x69n6nhlg7rxqnsg2dydgxflpq3apswl is a European app, peer to peer, which appears to be extremely user-friendly.

Hope this helps 🫡


I wrote a blog post about frost https://www.iroh.computer/blog/frost-threshold-signatures

For iroh, we use curve ed25519, while nostr is using secp265k1. So the linked code only works with ed25519 keys.

But other than that this transfers 1:1. You can take an existing key and split it into as many key shares as you want. So you can move to a multisig style approach while preserving your nostr identity.

You could take the existing code, replace https://crates.io/crates/frost-ed25519 with https://crates.io/crates/frost-secp256k1, and you would have a working co-signing setup for nostr keys.


Thanks my friend ☺

Lord of the rings, GoT, Odyssey, His Dark Materials, etc

Or even better, excerpts from spiritual texts like the Upanishads, Bhagavad-Gita, Tao Te Ching, etc

Might be wild


It can be a little daunting to order something (especially when it’s a meaningful amount of sats) online, with a payment method that doesn’t allow chargebacks. I had a moment of trepidation myself.

#ShowerThought this morning:

One of the small ways we can all contribute to the growth of Nostr is by lifting up other nostriches, especially those with independent businesses and crafts. Bring more of these business to Nostr. Handle more of these exchanges on Bitcoin.

“Be the change you want to see in the world” as nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx says (or was it Ghandi?) and give these artists and producers a reason to show up here, and to promote their presence here, and to drive more users here.

It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy if we fulfill it ourselves 🫡

One question - what does this mean?

“Filter also broadcast notes to 3 of the recipients (tagged users) NIP-65 relays”
**

I’m reading it as: the relay picks three of the npubs tagged in a note (if there are tagged users), and then sends the note to their preferred relays (?)

Specifically their read/write relays?
The first three tagged users?
How many of their relays?

(Sorry to pepper you with questions lol, just curious because this sounds like another tremendous value-add)

Now, get your content on https://flare.pub by nostr:npub1zach44xjpc4yyhx6pgse2cj2pf98838kja03dv2e8ly8lfr094vqvm5dy5 (the sharp mind also behind flockstr).  The UI/UX is incredibly slick, for one thing.

Resilience: your content is published to your Nostr relays, with all the implied benefits that nostr brings.

Reach: I’m not sure how many users there are now, but we know that nostr is growing (or rising, as nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8 might suggest). Even if it’s not your primary platform yet, the redundancy is valuable.

Large file hosting: I’ll defer to Zach for specs/limits but i know you can buy upload credits. Would love to see your content here on Nostr, brother 🤙


Thanks homie, you too!

Good morning Nostr 🌇

Feeling well rested and motivated. Productive Sunday LFG 🤙 https://video.nostr.build/ff1bc309d79fb08cbd7bc7a8b7071f913e6e4812dd2b2c2bce33f9b1d9dcfe65.mp4


This sounds incredibly familiar. What’s it from?


Daylight savings time is silly, but there’s something kind of trippy about watching the clock go from 1:59am to 1:00am.

At least now I can tell myself I’m going to sleep at a somewhat reasonable bedtime 🥱🫂

To GN or not to GN? That is the question… yeah I’m gonna stay here and nost for just a bit longer 📝🤙


So true dude, I was thinking the same thing 🤙


You’re most welcome 💜 it’s unique and seems extremely well thought-out. The nostr part is another hook 🤙


Definitely. I’m not a programmer but my understanding is that the scenes of hacking showed actual/contextually correct lines of code, rather than what most movies do with random/irrelevant command line  shots lol


the separation of money & state is what we want

when do we want it? YESTERDAY


I’d say it’s anti crony capitalism.

Didn’t strike me as being in favor of socializing everything - more of a middle finger to the persistent network of greed/corruption/violence that inevitably abuses any system (whether capitalist or communist) when the opportunity presents itself

Loved this show 🤙

Dear Nostr,

I would like to express my heartfelt apologies, as I’m afraid that I have let you down:

I forgot to wish you all a good morning this morning, and it is now afternoon.

There’s no time left to rectify today’s transgression, but I will make every effort to avoid such oversights in the future.

I can do better. I will do better.

With love,

PS: I know it doesn’t carry the same weight, but I sincerely hope that each of you has a very good day 💙

Roger that. Appreciate it


Great newsletter, anyway 🤙🤙


Do you know whether an existing key can somehow be converted to a frost multi sig key? Or could be set up as a sub-key of a new frost key which then controls the old nsec?


No shit. Thanks Ben 🤙


Nah, in Damus. That’s a great feature though nostr:npub1zafcms4xya5ap9zr7xxr0jlrtrattwlesytn2s42030lzu0dwlzqpd26k5

When #frost becomes a viable multisig-style tool for nostr private keys, does the cryptography in some way allow for “converting” an existing nsec into a FROST structure?

In other words, could I retain my primary keypair and somehow make it into a an offline key? (Currently it was generated in nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 and has only been exposed to Damus and a pen-and-paper backup).

I’d love to gain the additional security but not have to rebuild the content and social graph that I’ve spent nearly 2 years building. But how?

Or as another route, could I use a new FROST multi/nsec along with an nsec-bunker type authorization tool, such that the new key is the master key behind my bostonwine nsec?

Not sure who to ask… nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8 nostr:npub1mxrssnzg8y9zjr6a9g6xqwhxfa23xlvmftluakxqatsrp6ez9gjssu0htc and nostr:npub1u8lnhlw5usp3t9vmpz60ejpyt649z33hu82wc2hpv6m5xdqmuxhs46turz, y’all were discussing on today’s nostr:npub1qdcakl75gd7wv0nqmmwrz09ddm5tzl7xj8lq2gclng2qzd8up5yqjpzclt or maybe nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s, or nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft - nsecbunker is your creation, right?

Hey, nostr:npub1h0fd5xu8rfhwdkkjr78ssdhm7rdjyf97hhjqr9acwv77ux0uvf8q23kvcg you mentioned looking for an investor for your solar grid/Bitcoin mining initiative in small villages.

Dunno if this would be the right fit, but I recall it being quite interesting when I first heard about it — have you looked into Sun Exchange? I believe they were a sponsor when nostr:npub12wu7095378nwykqs0yj39t7fjsvvglay26cajjuee80vtte0vyjsf482kk started his podcast, so perhaps Mark could provide some more info, but generally my understanding is that they provide small villages with funding to build out solar infrastructure by tapping into a global network of smaller/individual investors who already understand the Bitcoin ethos.

One of the cool things about Nostr Bitcoin too) is the way in which it connects people around the world. The next president of Suriname is kicking it here with the plebs. The blend of individual freedom and community-aligned objectives is unique in its ability to satisfy the needs of people from all sides of the traditional sociocultural spectrum.

Maya, at the risk of using a superlative, you are one of the most inspiring people I have ever heard speak. I recall seeing one of your posts about a random Bitcoin conference, and learning months later that this “random” nostrich was seeking her country’s presidency 🤯

You have the charisma of a real leader, without the manipulative undertones of other political figures in Bitcoin. Your authenticity shines through, and it’s inspirational to see someone “just fucking go for it” 🔥

Thanks for sharing your story on Walker’s show. Thanks for going to bat for your people and your country, and for bringing all of us bitcoiners and nostriches along for the ride.

As more countries and leaders follow your lead, the borderless nature of Bitcoin will become more and more apparent, as the benefits of sound money and freedom tech lift up the people who embrace it and extend to those who haven’t yet found it.

You’ve got my vote, friend 🤝

On principle I like to think I prefer the unedited rips, but I don’t necessarily know which ones have been edited, so it’s hard to say.

For example, nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8 recently mentioned that the reason Bitcoin.review episode are only 3 hours long is because he needs to edit out the “ums”. Maybe if he didn’t, I could actually get some shuteye during those snooze fests, but for now I guess I’ll continue to be manipulated into paying attention 🤷♂

The algorithms have been amplifying the haters for too long. Skewed our perception that the world is full of them but #nostr will prove otherwise.


PRECISELY 🎯

Legacy platforms have given the loudest microphones to those on the farthest extremes, and amplified that content to the point where most people think it’s representative of our society… just to sell more ads.

We don’t live in nearly as divided of a world as we think 🫂


nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx nostr:npub1guh5grefa7vkay4ps6udxg8lrqxg2kgr3qh9n4gduxut64nfxq0q9y6hjy

Enjoyed the most recent RHR. You made a point about nostr’s “feel good vibes” being a product of the early-ness of new tech and the type of people who adopt it, with the implication that it will end up like the rest of the internet as adoption grows…

I’d argue that even with a billion users, it will still be a dramatically better experience (socially and otherwise).

The incentives in nostr are such that “good behavior” is actually celebrated and lifted up — not just because today’s nostriches are mostly decent people, but because (I think) most people are mostly decent, and want the world to be good. With the choice to create and participate in a healthy digital space, most problem will choose this. We can choose love algorithms instead of having an outrage algorithm forced down our throats.

All sorts of content will live on nostr, sure, but it already does. Some heinous shit can be found in global feeds. But we can choose a different experience. We can zap good content. If the bell curve of humanity suggests that most of us are pretty decent, then nostr’s architecture allows and facilitates a mostly-good social space.

Bitcoin (brilliantly) circumvents this risk by aligning self-interest/greed with positive externalities. Not so sure that nostr implicitly achieves the same, and I entirely agree that it’s naive to sugarcoat it. I’m young enough that I didn’t witness the “early feel good vibes” of other tech movements, so I could be naive in thinking that human nature will drive a primarily healthy nostr in the future. But I don’t think I am.

Enough people (without any understanding of Bitcoin or nostr) are dissatisfied with today’s options to suggest that the middle/majority of the bell curve is fundamentally decent, and nostr has a framework such where a revolution could actually work.

White pill pod, remember? 😉

I did watch some of that, but never really sunk my teeth into it. May need to revisit. They’re different characters though, right?

Unsolicited opinion, but I love seeing critiques of nostr clients — from new users and old ones. It’s how any of the clients have even gotten to be as functional as they are today. There’s also plenty of room for improvement, in various directions depending on the intended use case for the individual client. New users can offer a fresh set of eyes when some of us have gotten used to the quirks that create friction. (Sure, there’s also the trope of “I’m new to ___ and I’m here to fix it” which isn’t particularly helpful, but my sense is that this isn’t want you’re referring to).

I haven’t seen so much of this “shutting down” of people who voice their criticisms, but it’s disappointing to hear that there’s enough of it to turn people off.

I’ve had a great experience over the past couple of years here, watching how quickly the protocol and clients have grown into a robust information system (social uses included), and seeing the content expand far beyond the mainly-Bitcoin discussion of the earliest adopters. (I enjoy the Bitcoin content as well — and it’s usually of a much higher caliber here than on Twitter or Reddit —  but I want/need a lot more than that to have a fulfilling social experience, and for nostr to continue growing).

Some protocol limitations exist, sure, but doesn’t mean a client can’t be built to deliver a certain type of experience, if that’s what the developer wants. Couple that with the fact that nearly everything is open source, if someone wants to change/improve a feature they can submit a PR or clone the entire thing and build it a different way. That’s powerful, especially compared to the closed silo/walled garden ecosystem we’ve all experienced up until now.

I’ve seen the devs behind social clients like nostr:npub1pu3vqm4vzqpxsnhuc684dp2qaq6z69sf65yte4p39spcucv5lzmqswtfch , nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955, nostr:npub142gywvjkq0dv6nupggyn2euhx4nduwc7yz5f24ah9rpmunr2s39se3xrj0, Coracle (why no tag suggestion?), and nostr:npub1n0stur7q092gyverzc2wfc00e8egkrdnnqq3alhv7p072u89m5es5mk6h0 all being very receptive to constructive criticism.

I’d be willing to bet that the individuals who shut down your criticism are missing the point — we’re all trying to make this thing work, and win, and it’s early enough that things can break and be rebuilt without significant disruption. My experience of critique/user feedback, both personally and seeing it on my feed, has been that the devs actually building the projects are pretty open to/appreciative of it (as opposed to the accounts who might just jump into a thread to tell someone to f’ off for complaining, because the internet simply does have trolls).

But I’d never block someone for voicing technical/UX feedback about their client. That’s worthy of a repost and attempt to replicate the issue and fix it. My two sats ⚡🤝

It’s been incredible seeing nostr grow so much in such a short time…

Bitcoiners were some of the earliest adopters (because decentralized freedom tech is an ethos we already vibe with) but it’s expanding far beyond that.

It’s the digital architecture of a level playing field, a communication protocol with a structure that realigns incentives toward freedom *and* fairness, a space where authenticity and proof of work (rather than manipulative algo-hacks) are valued and elevated.

And it’s still so early!


Can’t wait to see this project unfold
🤜💥🤛


Exactly. We have 🤝


You are downright fucking awesome, Ava 🔥 this is bad-ass


Nostriches, it’s time 💥

It’s time to change the narrative that “nostr is only bitcoiners and tech folks”. I follow hundreds of bitcoiners, and hundreds of others.

The bitcoiners I follow will *sometimes* post about Bitcoin, but that is not the majority of the content in my feed.

Want to attract new users? Stop perpetuating the story that everyone here is a bitcoiner, and all the content is Bitcoin and nostr. That was true a year ago, but it’s not true now. I don’t hear new users complain about “too much bitcoin” anymore.

My feed is full of art, food, family. Life events, projects, social movements. Politics, sports, shitposting. It doesn’t take much to shift the narrative. Just start telling the right story 🤝

The road ahead is bright. These are my coffee musings this morning ☕

Whether you’re a seasoned nostrich or a brand new user… what do you think?

It’s happening 🤝


That’s a respectably nuanced take 🤝

Considering that most exchange/swap services offer shitcoins, at least providing an easy and private platform to exchange crypto for Bitcoin (for anyone who’s gained the understanding of why they should) is a good thing.

Maybe there’s a “middle way” where the messaging can emphasize Bitcoin, or link to articles for users who might be looking education.

Example: new user hears that there’s an opportunity to accept crypto for their charity campaign, not knowing the difference. The setup could default to Bitcoin, or even offer to accept any crypto and auto-swap into Bitcoin, with a link or tooltip as to why it’s the best money for their campaign (ethical, un-censorable, no leader/decentralized, etc) and could leave open the free-market option to choose a different currency (even fiat?) if desired.

It would create an opportunity to “feed the good” without (I assume) requiring a technical overhaul, or preventing inexperienced-but-well-meaning customers from discovering the product (and even being steered in the right direction once they sign up). My two sats ⚡

Of course, you don’t need me to tell you how to manage your product, but I love thinking through this stuff and appreciate the discussion 🤝

Philosophically, I get your point (and kind of agree: shitcoiners gonna shitcoin). On the other hand, in terms of personal responsibility, I would want the things I touch, if I have control over them, to feed a trajectory of net positive for humanity, which the vast majority of shitcoining is not.

Someone collecting donations for a worthy cause, but in crypto? Idk, it’s tricky. Perhaps they can help a lot of people with that money before it goes to zero. But feeding into a system of scams comes with additional negative externalities that could be largely avoided if their only option was Bitcoin.

Appreciate you being forthright about it, and for making me think.

Still, whenever given the choice… Bitcoin only 🙏

Props to their support team though for replying within minutes, despite it being the middle of the night in France 🔥

Wish I could ⚡ the support guy 🫂 nostr:note12dp2fwyl7353jres3lc3lz5m6fpmer8nvw8v4x5lqsxhsk39gyhqwgfqhx


Once it confirmed, the funds actually showed up as a new notification that they were ready to spend!


Thanks mate. It actually just appeared as spendable funds in Phoenix so I’m moving them now. Crisis averted 😉


I had that with Zeus too - lol, that’s why I moved back to Phoenix as my daily driver. Fewer levers to manage and a (usually) flawless UX, although I still use/enjoy and have mad respect for Zeus


Anyone know “where” in Phoenix wallet your on-chain funds appear after a channel close?

Normally when receiving van on-chain payment it just automatically splices in, so I don’t see where in the UI I could then do something with the sats once the transaction confirms 🤔

#asknostr nostr:note1ar2fj22ucllesl66w7pwh9h5z78xft7yxan23j4hk9zgg64g87cs62vu2p


I have the seed, and updated to the splicing version long ago.

I updated to the new version in nostr:npub10r8xl2njyepcw2zwv3a6dyufj4e4ajx86hz6v4ehu4gnpupxxp7stjt2p8 this morning

What’s weird is the transaction ID Phoenix is providing for the channel closing is shown as “transaction not found” on mempool.space, despite having been created like 20 minutes ago :/

That bitcoiner “I trusted but didn’t verify” paranoia is tugging on my sleeve at the moment…

It does look like there’s another version in zap.store already for a bug fix. Hmm. Should I update?

WTF 😒

Just updated Phoenix on Android, and when restarting the app my channel initiated a close automatically

🤦♂

Why

Do the funds go to a balance I can still control in Phoenix? Haven’t done this before and didn’t intend to now…

Hey nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 this account used to post every time a new nest got started. I loved that because I might be chilling or heading to work or something, and then see this and hop into a random nest. It was dope. But I think when nests were updated, it stopped posting. Any chance if you hit the keyboard against your desk a few times, it might start up again?

#grownostr nostr:note1uhpny0dy97she50qlgah7jqe58gegug3989ufpvn2kjufksftrdsagkhw6


Welp, that’s making me rethink the “conventional wisdom” (if it’s old enough to call it that) of holding a KYC stack alongside a KYC-free stack….


Hey Carlo, this got me thinking…

What would you think about putting together a collaborative “artists of Nostr” calendar, with work like yours and a few other artists like nostr:npub1ndketdm2qyv35nrhsxzks8kh7w7w6tll4rjp29hv0qjqkgfjsh6snmgk2v, nostr:npub1gwa27rpgum8mr9d30msg8cv7kwj2lhav2nvmdwh3wqnsa5vnudxqlta2sz, nostr:npub1rt65j4vnd05qf72szpj8afdd5hrkylka7pe55lup8waquv0wm9sqjj0y9g, maybe others…

Artists could choose what to submit, or could ask the nostr/#artstr community to vote on their favorite pieces to be included.

I just love the idea of showcasing the variety of artists and your styles, from around the world, all of whom share the common thread of Nostr.

Zap Splits could enable each artist earning revenue.

Expanding on that, if any nostriches run, say, a farmers market booth, or other small/local retail setting, these could provide an opportunity to purple-pill their customers. Not sure how long it takes to get these calendars made up, but Carlo at least I know you have a process in place 😉 (Also, I would hate for this to in-any-way overshadow the work and effort you’ve already put in to your own initiative here, so it may feel more appropriate to wait until your 5/5 limited runs have all sold before doing anything with this (if anyone even wants to, of course)…

What do you all think? Brilliant? Entirely uninteresting?

I’m always looking for opportunities to promote nostr (and its users) wherever I can, so this feels like a fun initiative, especially since Nostr is so early, and this community is so passionate, I’d expect an enthusiastic response.


Still thinking about this (because it’s cool). Does the artist have a choice to enter an existing keypair and/or generate a new one?

This actually reminds me of another question — I believe I remember you saying that musician onboarding is manual/p2p at the moment.

When an artist signs up with Wavlake, do they automatically get a Lightning wallet (custodial or otherwise) to start receiving listeners’ zaps? Do they need to actively set their own Lightning address/is it part of their onboarding flow?

Thinking about how Wavlake is orange-pilling artists, vs bringing on previously Bitcoin-friendly musicians, vs a hands-off, “do that part if you want to” feature similar to how a nostr keypair would work for them?


Got it, thanks brother 🤙


I’m in the same boat!

Got a couple of t-beams, one “pre-assembled” LilyGo, and a RakWireless “assembly needed”, to start learning.

Without CLI experience, I had a bit of a  moment when I looked at the GitHub instructions… but then I found where to flash the firmware from web and feel a bit more optimistic lol

At that point I had to leave for dinner, so will pick up where i left off one night this week.

It’s a seriously cool concept 🔥

Nord has excellent UI/UX, and many, many servers you can choose from around the world. I’ve heard some hesitation from privacy-focused friends, although I don’t know the specific reason behind it


Thanks, my friend! Yes, I would say I dabble in scary movies lol


Like Tor integration? Hell yeah


Awesome 🔥


Mullvad would be my first recommendation. Others like Proton and (I believe) iVPN. My first was Nord which was excellent user experience, but they don’t accept Bitcoin/Monero for added privacy

#grownostr


Setting aside the subjective nature of “better” and “experience”, I’m curious what platforms you’re referring to?

Also, (while semantics are generally annoying), nostr is a protocol, not a platform. Meaning that any number of platforms or experiences can be built on nostr, or brought to nostr, and plug directly in to the tech, user base, etc., which can’t be said of any other (purportedly) decentralized communication systems that I’m aware of. Protocols > platforms, etc etc

(I recognize that I am obviously am a huge proponent of Nostr, and biased in that way, but it’s because I have had an unparalleled experience here, and so it’s simply honest when I say I believe this is the best, most robust/resilient, and enjoyable option out there).


Make the entire legacy network dark  https://i.nostr.build/uP6Olu8rOdcbFyON.jpg


Could it be 555 and M? They’ve been a “thing” for a while now right?


We’re lucky to be at an early enough stage in nostr’s existence that there’s room for a lot of tire-kicking without creating a large-scale/societal disruption


MWhy use a VPN on Nostr (and anywhere/everywhere else)?

Well, without one: nostr:note18wuvkjvmamems0qmjl8glc6l0aqn30rzry4pszc8g53q0zwnf30q35ducd


Your IP address is visible to your relays.

If a relay operator was malicious they could abuse that information in identifying you (perhaps to punish you for how you use Bitcoin, in a country with an authoritarian regime) or could package your nostr activity with other data brokers’ information about you to sell into the profile(s) that exist on nearly everyone for as-targeting (at best) or government surveillance (in the US, for example, it’s illegal to spy on citizens, but not to buy the entirety of their internet activity from a broker and use that for profiling and “criminal prediction” police lists).

These are all “ugly” (although not “worst case”) scenarios, but it’s more likely that some of those things are already happening with your online data outside of nostr.

It depends also, of course, what relays you use. You asked “worst case” so yeah someone could go after nostriches in a few years with the assumption that many of them hold lots of (massively appreciated) Bitcoin. Kidnappings and theft already happen; user data from crypto exchanges is sold on the dark web every day, and people get scammed and stole from as a result.

Nostr isn’t necessarily “big” enough yet to make us targets… but data is forever.

Using an always-on VPN is just best practice, on Nostr or anywhere else, and while it’s of course far from a perfect solution, a high-quality VPN is such an easy way to limit the data that can be easily traced to you, making it just inconvenient enough that your average bad actor would prefer a different, easier target.

Hope this is helpful 🫡


Genuinely social media > antisocial media nostr:note1eryav2tc8cs7nk4svkktfjyuw8jycasdt3x6k04tl3tznn737j5sekh445


In the absence of the truly malignant systems that modern-day content algorithms [are forced by businesses’ incentive structure to] become, we have a found a new sort of freedom, to rediscover cooperation and voluntary association in the digital age.

Genuinely *social* media.


Right, it actually *feels* good to treat each other well, and to coexist in a space where people are good to one another. Especially in stark contrast to what we’ve seen the internet grow into


Thanks for the rec! I think I’ve seen this cover before. I’ll check it out ☺

It repeatedly blows my mind, just how fundamentally decent the majority of people here are.

My hope/theory is that it’s not actually “just like this on Nostr”. While it’s true that a number of us have overlapping interests or worldviews, there is also a natural diversity: people from all around the world, with different cultures, languages, philosophies, and experiences, all show up here to say GM.

It’s more of a cultural bell curve, where the majority of people are pretty chill, decent human beings, who generally like each other and respect one another’s differences.

My radical proposition is that this actually reflects the real world, and that the current cultural narrative of unrelenting division - while it has some truth to it, for sure — is drastically overblown, both on a personal level and by the media. On the edges of the bell curve are the very niche, very loud, and very “divided” subcultures. These groups have been given the loudest microphones.

Individually, if we only interact with the toxic, rage-bait algorithms that have come to define modern social/media (because it’s in journalism too), we experience the world through this clouded lens. We’re fed a continuous diet of disagreement, outrage, war, etc., because we click on it and thus the people making the content decisions get paid.

Remove the algorithms, and you remove the illusion of irreconcilable division. Nostr is a perfect case study of this, and so far it’s going beautifully.

I’m cautiously optimistic that this trend will continue when the user base grows 10x, 100x, because my view is that humanity is primarily good. Time will tell, and incentives will matter. But I’m hopeful that on a value-for-value, proof-of-work standard, our better instincts will prevail.


This is the way 🤙 nostr:note128hgx95sucq850dknr6kr59yq8msfav02mcea2qd4wet6vx26yqqrf9w8u

nostr isn't an identity backup. nostr *is* the identity. here's how to create a backup of it!

run your own relay. that's it!

you can do this in a multitude of methods. here's just a few simple examples to get you started.

on Android you can run a relay on your phone: https://github.com/greenart7c3/Citrine

on Windows you can run a relay on your computer: https://github.com/CodyTseng/nostr-relay-tray

on Umbrel/Start9/Mynode you can run a relay on your own server: https://apps.umbrel.com/app/nostr-relay
https://github.com/Start9Labs/nostr-rs-relay-startos

if you want a DIY method, you can run a variety of relays too:

You will be able to lock the HWW remotely (this uses a completely self-hosted server, and it can be backed up with a small file).

After you do, it can’t sign even if you found a way to attack it: the server holds an encryption key that encrypts the seed on device and with that destroyed or not provided, it’s useless.

What is “make a rook”?


(I’m assuming the stalemate is only because king<>king is illegal, whereas forcing the king to move to pawn is ok)


What about this? King’s only “move” gets taken by pawn https://image.nostr.build/3201fbb4a49b4c551b2b81c44d2b2e37b094445aea88752455e142d00ad20152.jpg


So because the black king can’t move into check/mate, it’s a stalemate? Interesting rule. I’d have assumed king trapped is end of story (in favor of opponent)! Learned something new today, thanks 🤝


Or wait isn’t that mate in 1..? King can’t move with a queen back there


Can’t the pawn move forward one and exchange for a queen? Then black king does whatever and castle moves forward to trap king in checkmate?

I would love to be able to add a title when bookmarking a note, so as to better recall/recognize the context (prior to opening said bookmark and entirely losing my place in the list)

This is very good advice. Thank you!


Thanks homie!


Thank you so much! I’ll give them a shot 🤘


Hell yeah. This week might be a bit tricky but next week is quite flexible 🤙


It was an honor and a pleasure 🫂💜

Ya know, I was just thinking… do you and Seth think a wine component might fit with zap.cooking? Perhaps a recommended pairing along with the recipes, or something like that?

I’ve written more tasting notes and recommended more pairings than I could count over the past decade, and this may be a fun way to keep writing, while my fiat mining is pretty tech-focused. So if you think there’s a place for it, I’d be happy to jump on a call and chat about how to contribute!


Hey nostr artists, I have a question

Can anyone recommend a service that makes high quality prints of digital photographs, like at 8x10 inches or larger?

Snapfish, CVS photo, etc. all seem to make mediocre prints with fuzzy edges…

Imagine that 😆


Thanks for reminding me I’m freakin starving 😂

It’s incredible how much benefit comes from simply strengthening the muscles that are intended to carry our bodies around.

Ease into it. Start with small, simple exercises (e.g. holding a “quarter-crunch” at max a 15-20 degree angle off the floor) just to activate the muscles and get them to wake up and reengage. At the risk of sounding like the “one simple trick” guy, it’s truly astounding the amount of relief this can offer (at least for lower back stuff) in real-time, and with benefits that carry forward through the day.


Well this is a throwback


Omfg this 🤣
