Questions for Mike (in case the chat’s questions aren’t answered during the stream)…

1) Does the app strip metadata from the pfp when you upload it?

2) Also, are you integrated with nostr, using relays, and/or plan to in future?

Epic image yo


I’m not normally one to use all caps but HAPPY FUCKING HALVING DAY LETS GOOOO 🔥🔥🔥


Oh that much I understand. I’m picturing sending three utxos in three separate transactions, all to the same address (ie no address rotation). I know when I spend the total value from that address it will use all three utxos and they will combine into a single UTXO when they land at their new destination.

But what I’m not sure about is whether they’re treated as three UTXOs when I initiate that new transaction? Ie if it’s a single fee or a 3x fee to smelt the coins lol

Gonna test it out later 🫡


Ah!! This is where I was being unclear.

I’m not sending a consolidation transaction to the address.

I’m imaging making three transactions over time (perhaps from a mining pool without rotating addresses, for example) so that there are three separate transactions with the identical destination address.

This “accumulation address” then holds multiple UTXOs, which need to be consolidated on an outgoing spend, right?

Or do the UTXOs “become one” by nature of being sent to an address that already held older coins?


And the fees will be assessed as though a single UTXO were being moved (rather than created)?

Or is the miner assuming “three coins being melted into one” and therefore paying the fee for three utxos?

(Also you’re right I should just test it out lol)


I’m not sure I follow, but I also probably could have worded the question better.

If I send three different UTXOs to the same address, and then later spend it, will that miner fee be comparable to spending a single UTXO or spending three UTXOs in one transaction?

https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/112/295/269/877/731/086/original/b6ab24eee3b478b2.mp4


From a fee perspective, if you send multiple UTXOs to a single address (privacy aside), do those coins become a single UTXO on that address *prior* to being spent (ie one-UTXO-fee if all coming from one address)?

Or is it still as “large” of a transaction (data, fees) as if those three initial UTXOs were sent to three different addresses and then spent in a single transaction later?

The last two paragraphs are what sets your post apart from most others on this topic.

I sincerely respect the urge to call an elected official and make a fuss… but the slow creep of surveillance will advance, until citizens who respect this danger also wish to hold office (unlikely).

I feel much more hopeful about individual choices and impacting your immediate community to build resistance internally and make it hard or impossible to be violated.


US Senate FISA fight on-going now
[before expiration tomorrow]

Quote Alexander Bolton:
“The Senate voted 67-32 to advance a motion to begin debate on the bill, the first of at least three procedural steps needed before holding a final vote on the legislation”

Dramatic expansion of government power on who has to collect data...
Quote Reason Magazine:
"including grocery stores, department stores, hardware stores, laundromats, barber shops, fitness centers, and—perhaps most disturbingly—commercial landlords that rent out the office space where tens of millions of Americans go to work every day, including news media headquarters, political campaign offices, advocacy and grassroots organizations, lobbying firms, and law offices."

Tell your Senator no!  And if you think it’s hopeless, then start fixing what you can control.  Get your ass on Linux.  Get a DeGoogled phone.  Start persuading friends to switch to encrypted messengers.

Maybe you can’t change Senate votes, but you can change your life.

Looks like I was able to get this working again, sort of. It says I'm connected to 9-11 relays, but only shows that I have 100 followers (and even Jack only about 40, so it has to be a data gap), and very few notes on timelines (with obvious gaps even for hugely active accounts). Relay.damus.io never seems to pass me any data (0kb both up and down) to me, which j assume is due to my connection coming via Tor, but honestly I don't know. I'm connecting using Amethyst, if anybody sees this and has any ideas—what's the best, biggest relay for Tor users right now?

Secondly, and most importantly for anyone who sees this note, please make some noise to try and stop the passage of RISAA (the FISA 702 reauthorization) that's about to hit law as soon as this Friday. Please read about it and push it out on all of your socials, if you agree it's a problem. It's going to be hard to stop this thing, even with all hands.

Whoever sees this, thank you for hearing me. https://image.nostr.build/b5731965f417b631e9ea74c27ce4d5f9bb91f9e2a96fefb1547146266ab89fb5.jpg

I’m looking to play around with TestNet Bitcoin and ideally learn/get comfortable with setting up a multi-sig wallet

I know Blockstream Green lets you set up a testnet wallet, and I think I saw that both Sparrow and Samourai do as well. Any others?

Also, how would one begin acquiring testnet coins? I saw a faucet online that will send like 1000 test sats per hour but I’d rather not just grind it out, if there are better ways?

That’s insanely cool. You all are literally building the future right here


Honestly though I wish I could just provide my npub for 2FA everywhere. It’s so clean and so obvious. And much harder to get sim swapped. And it’s nostr so it’s sexy.

What about a nostr micro-app that worked as a plug-in for any random website to use nostr DMs for 2FA? From a technical view is that a thing that could work? I feel like if it works on Damus.io then it should function anywhere, no?


Sure was 🤙🤙


Ooh thanks I hadn’t seen this note. It worked!

I just received my first 2FA code via Nostr DM. That feels AWESOME 💜


There was no “stop testing” in TestFlight because the app had disappeared entirely (from TestFlight). I just switched to the current App Store release but the link from the Damus purple site still goes to the “no new testers” error


Hey sir. It’s odd - the App Store says I’m running TestFlight 1.7, but when I tap “view in TestFlight” the app can’t be found. And if I use the TestFlight link from the Damus purple page, it says no new beta testers are being accepted (despite being on TestFlight pretty much continually over the past year). But maybe it’s bugging because my Purple subscription had lapsed? (Re upped for a year now, lol) https://image.nostr.build/304d20694d1f1819ae360057dc8afb25f7d0568ee498b2142ee87d266e4d1e3a.jpg https://image.nostr.build/d143b29fd607c29565635a79e1195e0f033f9cc50b9877a922882a7a2f16a923.jpg https://image.nostr.build/0eb37377b9b115766ac6590279e339293caf77028f8d8a0605b07a3c35a43ad4.jpg

Ok, thanks, I knew this much — just wasn’t sure if there was also a single sig option too.

The collaborative custody is why I’m wondering about kyc though. How do you “recover” funds via their third key — wouldn’t you need to prove your identity?

Not saying it’s a bad option (I see plenty of useful reasons for collaborative custody) but just curious to know which type of stack this would be intended to hold ;)

I learned of it recently but I don’t think it’s especially new. It shows you what data your computer/phone/browser reveals to any website you visit - you’ll see the data is much less when using a VPN or Tor for better privacy, so the destination has a harder time “fingerprinting” your device and compiling your data for ads or surveillance

Excerpt from the Preface of the book 'Permanent Record' by Edward Snowden

    "This was the beginning of surveillance capitalism, and the end of the Internet as I knew it.

		 Now, it was the creative Web that collapsed, as countless beautiful, difficult, individualistic websites were shuttered. The promise of convenience led people to exchange their personal sites—which demanded constant and laborious upkeep—for a Facebook page and a Gmail account. The appearance of ownership was easy to mistake for the reality of it. Few of us understood it at the time, but none of the things that we’d go on to share would belong to us anymore. The successors to the e-commerce companies that had failed because they couldn’t find anything we were interested in buying now had a new product to sell.

		 That new product was Us.
    Our attention, our activities, our locations, our desires—everything about us that we revealed, knowingly or not, was being surveilled and sold in secret, so as to delay the inevitable feeling of violation that is, for most of us, coming only now. And this surveillance would go on to be actively encouraged, and even funded by an army of governments greedy for the vast volume of intelligence they would gain. Aside from log-ins and financial transactions, hardly any online communications were encrypted in the early twenty-aughts, which meant that in many cases governments didn’t even need to bother approaching the companies in order to know what their customers were doing. They could just spy on the world without telling a soul.

    The American government, in total disregard of its founding charter, fell victim to precisely this temptation, and once it had tasted the fruit of this poisonous tree it became gripped by an unrelenting fever. In secret, it assumed the power of mass surveillance, an authority that by definition afflicts the innocent far more than the guilty."

One of my best friends has held a little Bitcoin for years. He’s just starting to get curious about Bitcoin and “decentralized” solutions for a broken global web. Lot of “crypto” risks, but he’s a very smart dude.

Nice, I like the look of the “swipe to type”. Especially if it’s accurate, that’s great.

Lol I really can’t stand the comma and period book-ending the spacebar on android though - it throws off the rest of the dimensions just enough to mess me up 🤦♂


Appreciate this!! I’ll give it a shot. I assume nobody has replicated the iOS keyboard for android/graphene yet have they? 😇

Hilariously enough I went to bed early 🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂


Like I’m so used to iOS, for over a decade, that having punctuation on either side of the space bar (for example) is completely throwing me off. Didn’t realize how much muscle memory comes into typing on a mobile device now.

But I’m typing this sentence with my eyes closed on iPhone and going to see if I have any typos

^^^^ SEE!!!!! Lol

I know autocorrect on iOS is excellent so I’m sure I messed something up… but still.

When will people realise that governments are the problem

Governments start wars not people

Governments are corporations with an agenda detached from humanity

They are the problem


This is the day


I’m not disagreeing with you on this btw, I’m just speaking (perhaps a bit too) generally


I meant more, “a land and its citizens”

It’s rare for the humans living in a geographic region to endorse the use of violence against humans living elsewhere, unless their immediate safety is threatened.

Yet the people in power/in control of a given region are all-too-willing to employ violence against humans living outside (and sometimes within) their territory.


Without fail 😅

Amazing - bookmarked 💜


Love their work 😉 I wonder though if they’d take on a fairly small project


I’m now working with Elvis Gwaro, an online journalist from Kenya who is writing parts of the newsletter together with me.

Great story behind this

1. I pay him a share of the profits from the newsletter in Bitcoin using lightning. It’s not a lot, but it’s a promising start. Here’s what he told me he’d have to go through if we didn’t. (TLDR: fees, delays and discrimination)

“with Paypal there's always the risk of my account being limited or suspended for reasons best known to the PayPal lords. If I was to receive a significant amount from abroad, for instance, $2,000, yet my account typically transacts less than $500, Paypal will halt my account and request me to explain where the money is coming from.
Their anti-money-laundering measures often flag people who are doing legit online businesses, especially Africans. I have more than 5 friends who had their accounts suspended for 6 months before they could get their money, despite explaining to Paypal where the money came from.
So yes, Bitcoin makes things waaaay easier.

Then there’s fees. Paypal charges a currency exchange fee between 3% to 5%. If you send $100, I'll receive $100 in my paypal account. I think you'll incur a transaction cost on your side too.

If I want to withdraw the $100 from my account, Paypal will give me an exchange rate that factors in the exchange fee. So for instance, currently the USD dollar exchanges for Ksh 130. Paypal will probably offer me between Ksh 124 and Ksh 126. So I only get between $95 - $97 of the $100 and that's how they make bank from that transaction. It's a big fee.”

2. He originally wrote an article that was well written, but FUD-filled about “6 technologies greener than bitcoin”. I respectfully challenged him. Unlike most journalists I’ve challenged he was more curious to learn than to save face, and started asking questions. Long story short, he realised Bitcoin is good for the environment and write so in his next article.

3. He had the idea of making a payment for the newsletter voluntary. And it worked. Plenty of people got behind the newsletter and started paying a modest amount, that now is helping to support me to do deeper research than I’d otherwise have time for and is really helping Elvis as he looks to see if he can make a living out of writing about and researching bitcoin for online magazines and newsletters.

2 ways you can support him that’ll be a potential win-win for you as well.

If you have a newsletter and want someone to write parts, he’s incredibly good: takes on feedback faster than most and produces high quality content. If you’re thinking of a newsletter but don’t want the burden of writing it all, he can help.

And of course to shill our newsletter, every subscriber to that is helping him towards his goal of escaping the fiat economy and live on the orange side. He’s within reach already.

Testing out nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg iOS app, and it’s real smooth. Me likey.

On the first screen, it lets you create a social profile (presumably you get a new nsec).

It asks for a Lightning address, but it’s unclear whether that should be a preexisting address, or a “desired” address that Mutiny would create for you.

I’m imagining onboarding new users - trying to get my colleagues to use Mutiny instead of Venmo, for example. I wouldn’t know how to proceed (or I might tell them to skip it so I can pay them sooner).

I absolutely love these


I typically stay away from “zap-for-repost” notes, but I really like the approach here. It’s transparent and socially-oriented. Don’t trust verify, of course, so I’ll be looking to you, Ian, for continued social engagement (since other accounts have pivoted to promotional content after hitting certain follower counts).

More importantly, welcome to Nostr!

🫂

Glad you’re enjoying it. My top piece of advice would be to follow every user who follows you, if possible. It will give you a rich and nuanced nostr social experience (and you can always unfollow an account later, if you find someone’s content objectionable).

Enjoy brother 🤙 nostr:note10fscqu57mf9kypd5mqucmqnytrfxzp8qen0x4vhvvx5tyncwrzjqq42avx


My two sats — historically, people seek out Bitcoin podcasts because they’re curious about the subject, and looking for learning material. It’s “inbound” audience acquisition.

But the left (speaking generally) is not that curious about Bitcoin yet. The left-side narrative is still more opposed than in-favor, and the ETFs and ATHs do more to foster resentment against the “rich getting richer” than to feed a healthy FOMO-based curiosity. For now.

But it means that your podcast, specifically, has a unique headwind compared to others, where “customer” acquisition was easy during periods of number-go-up.

One option is to focus more on outbound marketing. Put your brand and your message in front of potential listeners who are not-otherwise-likely to seek you out.

Place ads with keywords around human rights, climate change, and other “progressive” topics. Spend time in social media groups that have nothing to do with Bitcoin and show why Bitcoin can help solve some of those groups’ problems.

You’ll get blocked and shat on, probably a lot. But you’ve taken up the mantle of bringing the realization of Bitcoin to a somewhat unwilling audience. And thank goodness for you - we need that! But it might require an aggressive approach, at least to get your foot further in the door. And then you can let the truth speak for itself 🫡


Okay sweet. Kind of thought so otherwise would defeat the purpose a bit lol. Thank you!


Good morning, allies of the orange and purple

There’s something that feels decidedly good and gfy-y about earning sats back on IRS payments https://image.nostr.build/2fde9f5142f08d2d54950b824ed1e8d0a832969cc5bb879fe4c711b443e4e8bb.jpg

😂 it’s an incomplete site. But more focused on collecting/consultation as far as unpublished content goes


Someone had a question recently, about a brand-new computer or phone and how to start using it immediately with a VPN, without having already downloaded one (and not being able to put a VPN on their WiFi router).

What if you enabled a Personal Hotspot on iPhone, and already had a VPN enabled on the iPhone, then you tether the brand new device to the iPhone’s WiFi hotspot before going online to download a VPN to the new device.

Would this work? Does a personal hotspot — when using a VPN — actually protect the privacy of the user who gets online via the tether?

How come? The website? I have side projects and nascent plans but my fiat mining happens in an office lol


Seriously 🤙


No kidding! That’ll be awesome man


😂 absolutely 💯💯💯🫂


Very interesting. Does it prune along the way during the initial download, or do you need external storage at first?

Because a full node would need both continuous external usb-c storage and continual charging lol


High quality meme 😂


Noticed it was raining as I was about to leave the office, and said “it’s a damn shame”… My manager instantly starts singing, “what the world’s comin’ to!”

Queue my manager playing the video and my office singing along, having never mentioned this before to anyone. Yet we all knew it.

That was profound — I thought it was just crazy internet bitcoiners who knew this song 😂

Mornin!


Been out of the loop a bit. Was there a particular interview recently that kicked this off?


Could a Nostr relay work such that it charges, say, 3 sats per event that a user broadcasts and requests?

The “streaming sats per minute of Netflix model” essentially, rather than a monthly subscription…

This could be interesting for relay cost/profit calculations and spam resistance, if it’s possible

Exactly the sort of wisdom I’m referring to 😂🤙


Make a point to pause and enjoy individual moments, here and there.

It can be a huge rush: exciting and nerve-wracking and busy and beautiful, but try to give yourselves moments to breathe it all in.

And if you can share any of those moments with your partner, in eye contact or an embrace, even better.

i trust myself to use #btc privately but it's not easy, everything must be done just right. most people buy kyc coin from exchanges, use it on-chain in a non-private way and shoot themselves in the foot, exposing themselves and their finances on a permanent record (the blockchain).

bitcoin is awesome but the way most people use it is not "freedom money" or "private". it needs a 2nd layer to be more fungible and private.

tbh it's disturbing how many people hear these buzzwords and get into bitcoin in a non-privacy preserving way. they have no idea how much chain analysis heuristics can reveal about you and your finances.

fiat would would not only be more private, but less dangerous the way most people use #btc.

monero on the other hand is privacy at a protocol level. you get the same privacy guarantees no matter which wallet you use. i recommend most people use monero.

i love bitcoin, and i highly encourage people to study it and learn how to stack it and use it in a private way, but the truth is, it's a privacy nightmare by default.

just ask the canadian  "freedom convoy".

Marie my friend, your hellthreads are a riot. It’s like a bunch of people all of a sudden wake up and realize they’re at a party and hadn’t even realized it.

Anyone is free to come and go, but it can be a fun place to hang and it’s so clearly done with good intent.

Does it destroy my notifications for a few days? Sure. But clients do (and/or should) provide users a way to manage any frustration.

More importantly, it brings people together. I reconnect with nostriches I haven’t talked to in months, thanks to these threads. I find new people to follow. And I laugh my ass off at some of the replies.

To me, the only shortcoming is that we can’t make it even bigger. (Seriously). Hurt feelings aside, I believe there are plenty of people who would appreciate being included simply to meet new peoples enjoy the the lolz. And if someone wants out, it’s easy. (You’re also considerate so I’m sure if someone asks to be left off the next one, you’ll gladly oblige).

Keep it up. Not too frequently 😉 but also keep ‘em coming. It adds value.

Love you 💜🫂🤙🫡

Good morning from the city of angels 🌇 https://image.nostr.build/c39236306ccad314014cbe3f70218a0550d5a765c1bd489ba643c41e24c14db8.jpg


Dude is definitely just trolling & lol’ing at this point, while he secretly stacks more sats than his followers 😂


GN 😴💜🫂


Happy 11:11


So this may be a way to add a few sats to your stack, but this is not Bitcoin mining. It looks like a faucet (ie “earn free sats if you engage with the app each day”) combined with games to gamble and possibly also  an exchange to buy/trade (at least from what I see on the home page). Nonetheless, thanks for sharing; always happy to check out another sats faucet 🤙

If you’re interested in mining Bitcoin “remotely” (ie hosted mining), check out nostr:npub10vkwadgkfkg9vzpe04a6rhpzrd8rlw0r84qelag5hgtycrykgz3qvty3ep for a stellar introduction.


Mind blowing. I’ve been there before but never from this view 🤯💜🤙

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for 🤙 stoked to see that something like this exists ⚡⚡


I’m more thinking about p2p trades, at a different volume than any of the remaining day faucets like sMiles app, Fold spins, etc.

iPhones don’t support actual hashing in any meaningful way, far as I know


That’s an amazing shot, Kat!!


Sweet! Loving the app so far 🤙


Has anyone thought about setting up a Nostr-based no-KYC swap service for Bitcoin/fiat?

Presumably the bond/escrow component is the most challenging to build (and robosats & bisque kind of have it covered), but the benefit to using Nostr is the potential for a web-of-trust component.

Pros and cons? Anyone building it already? (I’d be happy to be a test buyer if so 😁)

#asknostr
#grownostr
#weboftrust
#nokyc


You can also stack hard and use a swap service like boltz.exchange to move those sats on-chain without reducing your channel capacity! If you pick a low-fee day, it’s inexpensive and it saves you the future cost of buying more inbound capacity or another on-chain fee on a future splice-in 🫡


Gm sir, love these vibes 🔥


It was a very nice surprise 💜


Would have joined the mile high club if I know there was a #zapathon today 😂⚡

But instead here are a couple photos of the Grand Canyon that I did not expect to fly directly over 🤩 https://image.nostr.build/0ee06ef8b08cd5f81b1d301e7ffb5ab67ef6e8a9322dd23cf1350476c71c54f6.jpg https://image.nostr.build/5abcfca731bd7c66a39c30b271c287f759df583efd3de6be5afc036671960217.jpg


Oh sorry! Within any individual section it scrolls, as long as you have ❤’d enough items. I realize now I forgot the screenshot lol

I was referring the starting screen itself. Playlists” is cut off by the current song, so it’s not clear whether the whole page should be scrollable (ie if there are tiles for genres, downloads, recently added, favorites, etc.) or if what you see there is what you get: https://image.nostr.build/0ca3541b7620b9ca3e569a3ef2d9e926aed9ac9b7b31cbb7037fff4eb8dfaea6.jpg


I love nostriches.


Shipping food is the best way to punk someone. Especially like this 🤣


Packing peanuts are an affinity scam


Nailed it 🎯😂


Yo Wavlake is this supposed to be scroll-able? On iPhone 11 the last tile gets cut off when a song is playing. (I assume it’s the last time but can’t scroll).

Another thing I’m noticing - when you heart a song, for example, it adds the song to your song library, but it doesn’t add the artist to your artist library. This isn’t a bad thing but it’s different from what I’m used to with other music apps. I kind of prefer it your way, I think, but just pointing it out in the interest of feedback because I was surprised

Also need to add the word “you” in between “if” and “log” in the backup disclaimer.

UX is real sleek, sound quality is good, and streaming quality is way better than I expected because my WiFi in this room is weak. Are you doing something unique to optimize streaming speeds? Because it’s working, if so.

Those are my immediate top-of-mind notes. Will share more soon 🫡

Aw good, that’s a relief. More than 5K?


Hope it wasn’t a big fee to close 😞


Wait what did? Toggling this was one of the recommendations Evan gave me when my wallet wouldn’t update correctly. One of those instances, my channel had been force-closed and I couldn’t see it until it finally updated. But I’d feel bad if I just told you to close a channel :/ https://image.nostr.build/5ee03d386ada4c9388c822697c7ddf60f2e97f33071b5fd638a1177dbd16919c.jpg


Hm, maybe “peers” before neutrino I’ll check if I have a sec


It’s got a very fun/friendly vibe, and the emphasis on p2p/social really does set it apart from other wallets


No surprise there 🫡


Cool so at least it gets stripped! I know videos are a bit more complex but not an issue for a mutiny PFP lol

Double stripping can’t hurt!


That’s what I thought 🤙


Try toggling stuff. Neutrino settings maybe? Paging nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5


What metadata does mutiny get when uploading a pfp? Or is it like nostr:npub1nxy4qpqnld6kmpphjykvx2lqwvxmuxluddwjamm4nc29ds3elyzsm5avr7 where you strip it all first?


The new nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg UI feels like a social app first, Bitcoin wallet second.

Since nostr is a public protocol, I’m not expecting cohesive privacy. Using a VPN (simply so that relays and clients aren’t watching me Nost through my kitchen window) seems sufficient.

Considering that everything I write is on display to any observer anyway, I’m not sure what additional benefits come from using Tor for nostr. Am I missing something?

I’ve had one Onion relay in my list until now, but it only works if I use Orbot. Is that basically true of all Tor relays?

I’d love a way to post to and pull from onion relays, without needing to enable onion routing for all my mobile traffic and breaking some of the other relays I’d normally use. Not sure if that’s actually possible? Guess I should #asknostr nostr:note1qqqqrtx7hrzz4sfxgmt76magzw7n595nt8agt7qef4ayp0eetcgq2yc0n6

What if you could convert anyone onto Nostr and help it grow?

Do you struggle to convince friends to see Nostr’s value?

The problem is you framed it as political censorship, when the real issue is about control.

Thank you Connie! Haha I’ll ask her out of context just to be safe 🫡


Please thank her for me! That’s a great answer


😂 now that almost sounds like they were trolling you! Or at least some good-natured banter lol


This is an extremely thorough answer and I’m here for it thus far 😂


Right answer


I will definitely ask her…. But well after we are all packed 😉


So excited lol

She doesn’t even like my Bitcoin shirts. Just wait til the chilluns are wearing “end the fed” shirts 😂🫡


I know rite 😂🫂🐸


My fren I didn’t even notice just happy havin frens 🫂


Ooooh I like to live dangerously

Imma put them in Bitcoin t shirts for sure


That’s true, it’s something I don’t really need to worry about


Multiple really good point here sir. The uniformity of men’s clothing definitely gives us a simplicity that means we don’t have to “deal with it”

And the scrutiny also for sure is stronger on the ladies. Thanks, this makes plenty of sense 🙏


I mean she’s a total smoke show (not tryna brag, and she knows she looks good), but I can definitely understand it being more important to her. Like I want to look great too, but I feel like I know how I’ll look when I put on those clothes lol. Maybe just different mindsets.

Regardless, I love her, and respect her process. I also know better than to ask her “why” about her process when she’s in the middle of it 😂


That’s fair. Tbh, I feel similarly - want to look my best as well. It’s just confusing because I know what all my stuff will look like when I wear it lol


Stoked to have kids! I’ll pick out all their clothes and be grateful to do it lol, but I’m sure af not putting them in every outfit before we catch a flight 🤣


Better yet, when cloaks? This would simplify EVERYTHING

Question for the ladies

Wifey and I are packing for a 4-day trip. Family wedding. Running late.

I’m fully packed, and she’s just starting. She says she needs to try on each outfit, to pair it with shoes and jewelry.

I know what I’m wearing each day, to the detail. Which shoes, which watch, which jacket. Which is why I’m packed. Why isn’t she?

What am I missing? I consider my wife to be grounded, pragmatic, and very on-top-of-her-shit. Why does she need to test each outfit in order to approve it to be packed?

I ask, not out of annoyance or lack of respect, but out of a genuine desire to understand. And a knowledge that, were I to ask her directly, she would feel a bit defensive and I would come across as exasperated.

So I ask the wise women of nostr, why is this a thing?

And guys, do any of do this (and I’m just lazy about packing)?

Honestly I’m just trying to understand and be empathetic toward my favorite person, in a situation with undue stress.

Gender norms and packing habits aside, please enlighten me 🙏❤🫠

He knows The Way:

"It's a terrible idea to have a registry that enables the buying and selling Bitcoin. Bitcoin is money, not a security. It's as wrong as if currency exchange houses for dollars or euros or shops where gold is bought and sold had to register with the CNV. It's complete nonsense [which] benefits no one, except maybe some state bureaucrats and an army of lawyers and useless people from the 'compliance industry”

— Argentinian NGO Directive member and Money On Chain protocol co-founder Manuel Ferrari nostr:note1pup35zy2ugyy7wsfxg29aehpejfklpeycaw67dtyv8gvq7j5np8sy5dt0v


Yeah that’s probably true as well. At least for the gold star jerks


This is completely valid and supported by the evidence. Unfortunately 😑


I think most of us grow here. Those who don’t, perhaps there is still a tiny imprint of goodness on their psyche.

So when they get to be eighty years old and look back on their early career as a basement troll, they might think “man, I was an asshat. I should make sure I treat people better than I did back then”


lol, could be. But you know I’m an optimist 😉


Nostr is a collective stream of consciousness

Collective/composite consciousness means collective evolution

I like to think we’re all learning, evolving, and growing up a little bit each day, in this way.

Oh, and Happy Easter 🤍


Smart


Would nostr support any sort of dynamic or “turn-based game” note requesting functionality?

Two use cases come to mind:

- “choose your own adventure” stories, where if a set of previously drafted notes had been published somewhere, then how you engage with one note might trigger a “release” of various additional notes.

- Dungeons & dragons-style interactive game experience. Perhaps hosted on a dedicated relay

I thought of this as I was drifting off to sleep. Curious if it’s possible 🤔

This is a great review. Yay for Nostr, WoT, v4v, and this awesome community. I’m officially pumped to start playing with all of this 🤙🤙


Thanks!


Duly noted! GrapheneOS is the one I keep seeing and what I’m most curious to explore.

That and android-only nostr clients. Have you had any experiences where something like Amethyst doesn’t (or does) play nicely with Graphene?


Got it. Can one start with this and then later wipe the device and load up graphene?


Another great reminder. Thank you AGAIN 💜💜


Thanks! That’s great to know. I’d kind of like to learn how to do the whole bootloading thing, as I’ve never done anything like that before and would feel pretty awesome to figure it out.

Unless you and nostr:npub1f6ugxyxkknket3kkdgu4k0fu74vmshawermkj8d06sz6jts9t4kslazcka  say that doing so it like skiing black Diamond when I’m still learning pizza/chopsticks on the beginners’ ski hill 😂


🫂

Silent.link! That’s the one I was trying to remember. I’m looking at this phone as an opportunity to test-drive the cool privacy tools I keep hearing about through various Bitcoin-driven rabbit holes. So hell yes to that!


Oh, sweet. So literally just buy it from Google and don’t select a phone plan?


You da best

Ideally (if I understand correctly) it would be factory unlocked and no carrier/carrier-unlocked, right? As I won’t be using it as an actual cell phone any time soon


(In order to replace the stock OS with graphene)


The actual carrier def wouldn’t matter as I don’t expect to have a phone plan at all. But trying to figure out the factory unlock thing


So appreciate you 🙏🫂


Ooh okay well I’m convinced. If learning graphene (and I can’t imagine getting a super cheap android phone now, just to play with nostr clients, and then later buying another one for graphene purposes) so looks like an 8 it is 🫡

Now to figure out the factory-unlocked thing. This is the only selection on Google’s site. Is there a different seller one should buy from? https://image.nostr.build/3a6530715d72c5817e961d51d919c4867e2932dfbbdbfc89a7bbaaf35b79e683.jpg


Thank you! Although nostr:npub1f6ugxyxkknket3kkdgu4k0fu74vmshawermkj8d06sz6jts9t4kslazcka your point about factory unlocked (and, I would assume, also carrier-unlocked?) — I can’t tell with this particular but seems “total wireless” is the carrier. Thanks for finding this either way, Uno 🤙


Factory unlocked meaning it’s easier to put graphene on it, right?

And “device support timeline” meaning how long I can expect viable software updates to continue?


Thank you!


Haha fair enough. I’m convinced


Thanks homie


Roger that. Thanks 🤝


Thanks Ava, that def seems to be the consensus.

I am seeing refurbished 6a pixels at pretty good price points.

Is this a huge no-go from a security/privacy point-of-view? I’ll shell out for a new one if it matters, but if not then I’d rather stack a few more sats


I mean I’d love to spend 2-300 bucks. But I doubt that’s going to happen. Especially since I just learned that only Pixels support graphene lol

So the cheapest available pixel I guess


It seems like 6a is no longer in production at all..?


Oh! Thank you. I didn’t realize graphene only worked on a pixel. Real glad I checked 😅


Tough to find a 6a it seems, at least new - no longer being made?


Ahoy matey 🤘


Exactly 🤝

What do you all recommend for an affordable Android phone. It’s for me to learn stuff, ranging from testing new nostr clients, to maybe trying the de-googling graphene setup I keep hearing so much about.

I’ve only ever used iOS since my last flip phone. Looking for something budget-friendly and likely won’t even get a phone plan. Any suggestions?

This is one of the best parts of paid relays - we haven’t had to ban anyone on nostr.wine.

With our larger free relay aggregator (filter.nostr.wine) we use basic rate limits and repetitive content filters to prevent storing a large amount of notes that aren’t being read.

Global requests on filter.nostr.wine are limited to your individual web of trust (follows+follows) by default, so even if there is spammy content (out of your WoT) on our relay - you won’t see it! nostr:note1rx7dtq6vcn72uudj7hlrmrcwcf5s4mayakntj44p3yquyy6gnwwsq0ykeg

Hal finney interpreted satoshis mission as a return to open banking.
As it stands now there are only a few banks that are backed by promises and collude with each other like a mafia.   Having thousands of banks that can operate truly independently of each other, and that are accountable to the free market of choice due to self custody of a bearer asset instead of a promise, would change the world in ways we can't imagine.

It's my opinion these banks will interact with each other over lightning or some method of secure global transmission, kind of like fed wire today.

Most customers of these banks I think will use ecash denominated in sats to show their relevant worth to the base money.  This comes with its challenges and benefits, and I'm not saying this is ideal, but I believe it's what will happen given human nature.

I think there is a real need for individuals with strong autonomy and a solid WOT in their community to run these banks/mints.

Thursday thoughts nostr:note1l6fzrg4nhyz09zq420yre2sauegxp63n2stfetq8esuhmjc2hj9suyuts0


😮

Ya know, that pretty much does the trick


A year ago this was only “available” if you knew how to compile code, I think. Is there a downloadable application now?


One place I’ve repeatedly gotten stuck, is on the fact that there will not be enough UTXOs for every person on earth to own even one.

Layer-2 and 3 (and 4, 5, etc) solutions are the only ways to “reach” everyone, and some of those implementations will invariably involve trust, fractional reserve banking, and custodial third parties.

Humans are amazing, but we’re also short-term opportunists by default, and there will always be “fiat” pursuits. At least until we are all collectively so enlightened that the need for a medium of exchange ceases to exist (lol, different rabbit hole).

Real, actual bitcoin won’t (can’t) be the way that everyone manages their daily transactions — even in a “post-hyper-bitcoinized” world. It’s not possible (at least as I understand it, based on the minimum UTXO size for a transaction).

But also, I think that’s okay…

I think it will be “enough” for Bitcoin to be recognized and implemented as a global monetary base layer. A transparent and free market for money can force participants (banks) to be transparent about risk tradeoffs. It can force governments to only spend tax revenue on things the citizens actually want and approve of, at risk of being “busted” and voted out. It can still give every user the ability to save in a money (or a monetary “layer” atop a consistent base) that can’t be devalued — and when a bank or government tries to devalue it, the citizen retains their permissionless freedom, to chose a better custodian.

I don’t think every global citizen needs to hold Bitcoin for this to work. Bitcoin just needs to work.


Are there any nostr clients with a UI/UX like old-school forum/message boards?

I miss those days.

Then they were told “do a trick together that’s new to you both” and the two dolphins go underwater, talk about what to do, and then do it 🤯

Well-put, wolf!!


Just a nice number ✌


That’s a great way to look at it. Do you think, though, that this will only be true while Bitcoin is in its relatively early stages of monetization? In other words, all new “entrants” of the past 15 and likely next 15 years have an opportunity to build outsized wealth, and thus own their own time. I guess even when Bitcoin’s “price” is relatively stable, a hard-capped money will continue letting people save in a way that they can relax more, rather than less, as they age.

Who on earth doesn’t think Bitcoin is fun? We have the best memes, trends, and frens.

Maybe because we’re singularly focused on solving a simple problem — fixing the world by fixing the money — we have a little spare time in which to have a good time.

Also, the memes are funny and also profound all at once. That’s very rare

I like the idea of doing this in order to find weaknesses, report issues, amd strengthen relays and clients as a whole. Doesn’t mean it’s how we should always use it to get proper distribution of our notes, but it’s early enough that those of us who want to can help kick more tires.

Plural of anything should never have an apostrophe, and since this context refers to a unit of measurement, rather than a name, I’d go with satoshis. Just like dollars or cents.

Similarly: “Bitcoin” the network (proper noun) or “bitcoins” the currency unit (regular noun)

Price of stuff doesn't go up. Value of money goes down. Few understand this.


Self custodial Lightning (ie mobile wallets) include Phoenix, Zeus, Mutiny, Breez

Self custodial on chain (and offline, ie hardware devices) would be things like the Bitbox, coldcard, or the previously mentioned Blockstream Jade

Hope this helps - happy to answer questions about any of these to the best of my ability. There are a lot of choices and different security options and tradeoffs


Oookay I’m so very tempted to begin another nostr-catch-up scroll sesh. But it’s late and tomorrow’s going to be an early-ish start.

GN 🫂💜✌


But don’t ever leave that much money on a custodial platform. Once you get to a higher value than you’d be comfortable holding in your physical wallet in cash, it’s time to transfer to a self-custodial address

I was just wondering about this. Zaps aside, do people on Mastodon — whose posts appear in my nostr feed — see a reply to their post if I send it from a nostr client?

Would they need to be intentionally connected from their end somehow? I know very little about how mastodon works 🤷♂

Come to think of it, I’m not sure how I see their notes or why. Maybe if I’m following a particular hashtag, and one of my relays is able to pick up mastodon content..?

Woah 😮 I would absolutely love to test this and give feedback or anything else that would be helpful.

Do you need testing on one device more than another? I have an old iPhone SE laying around, and I’ve been thinking of picking up a cheap android phone to try out Amethyst and Damus android at some point.

I’m not a dev but spend a good portion of my day job teaching clients to use a software product and working with the product team to refine it. How can I help this awesome-looking project move forward?


Yes. Also that’s a fucking dope pfp


bahahaha I could learn a thing or two 🤣


So it was a very small transaction, sending from a BlueWallet on-chain address to a Phoenix on-chain address for splice-in.

Completely forgot to include the screenshot in my original note, but got the error pictured below. When I tried to cancel the transaction instead speeding it up via RBF, that worked for whatever reason.

So I’m just out a few hundred sats, but ended up getting the funds where they needed to go.

Thanks for the explanation on CPFP, I guess I’ve never used that before - just RBF. https://image.nostr.build/24bf05d8e364b92c242cdafc169f0b4c411ce14fe1c84ff644ecb67cd9248908.jpg


Thank you!!


Do taproot receiving addresses not support RBF?

Or is this because I swept the wallet and so it can’t “re-divide” a new fee from the funds that were sent?

Or is BlueWallet just buggin?

#asknostr


That’s my understanding. If you send from an exchange to your own address (or your friend’s, or a business’ address) you effectively need to provide KYC for the destination/receiver

I’ve always liked panentheism as a resolution to this paradox. If God *is* everything in the universe (including humanity, rocks, atoms, thought, etc) and is also “more” than the universe (whatever that means to our human brains), then infinite regress becomes redundant/tautological, because literally everything you can think of is included in the panentheistic universe.

Folks get triggered when I say I’m a progressive. I can understand that. But know, this word has a rich history, particularly the progressives in the late 19th and early 20th century who fought for peace, fought for workers rights, supported early immigrants to America, believed in science and the arts, and more.

It was a movement, community, culture, that was above and beyond political parties. It was an idea of what our future can and should be. That’s the kind of progressive I am.

Nowadays, you have “progressive politicians,” that I can sum up in one sentence:

“The road to hell is paved with good intentions”

We need solutions over ideology.
People over campaign rhetoric.

Political party cliques do not change my conviction as a progressive.

Bitcoiners are forging a new path 🧡

Aw I bet that’s amazing fr


🤣🤣🤣🤣 but Pauloooooo I wanna hang out with my internet frens


For sure know exactly what you mean. I started stacking a little bit before she got involved, but we’d both been curious/interested about Bitcoin. It was her brother who told us, early on: DCA, self-custody, don’t buy crypto. Forever grateful.

It’s especially cool to see her answer questions someone might ask about Bitcoin. Like I’m doing the deep study, but wifey’s picked up so much and it catches me by surprise 🫂


I’m certainly curious about it but I don’t think there’s any way to do a custodially-supported multi-sig without KYC. Looks like it has the potential to be a great tool for a large number of newer users. I’m thinking people who have enough to spend that they want to start with multi sig, but are conditioned enough/comfortable with legacy systems to have no problem with the kyc etc


Showed this post to my wife and we are going to do the same! 💪🤙


Told my wife we should grab another hardware wallet for our “side stack”. I was going to suggest one of the cheaper options (Jade, etc.)

PSA: Don't be a cheap sat-slut. Stop promoting people you haven't vetted (at least on a cursory level) for cheap sats. Buying followers or boosted exposure is a shitty marketing tactic. Always has been. There are better ways to stack.

Roger that, and no worries. It isn’t urgent to move funds, just wanted to open a larger channel than I had previously, so that’s done ✅


Appreciate it! Should I hold off on sending for the time being, then?


This is a great note


Looking forward to it!

One thing I don’t quite follow is how it could actually be a cold wallet. The flash drive holding keys (while creating the wallet) is plugged into an internet-connected device, and it doesn’t sequester the private key in a secure element.

I guess it’s a “cool” wallet, in that it isn’t constantly internet-connected, but in order to use it, it must be online, so you’d need to be sure the computer isn’t compromised.


I melted a bunch of solder over some (too-nice-for-a-beginner-project) guitar pickups once 🫠

But I figured it out after that lol


There have been a couple bitcoin.review episodes with fairly skeptical opinions on the seedsigner.

Whether FUD or just criticism, idk. I tend to appreciate skeptical reviews — even when two parties are criticizing one another’s projects, lol — as even the best things have tradeoffs


Word 🤙 seems like the right timing that you suggested this - I just bookmarked tails the other day. Now to find an empty flash drive 👀


Right on 🤝

I’m familiar with tails conceptually, but haven’t used it. When you say “make your own” wallet, does tails OS have preexisting wallet software or..? Also doesn’t seem like it could be air-gapped, unless I’m missing something
