Sober as in alcohol? That's a massive yes, three years-ish and not counting.

I'd agree, same bullshit on repeat. All the usual big accounts cross-posting from X or tagging Saylor. Pitiful.

Introducing: AlgoRelay

Build your own nostr algorithm!
https://i.nostr.build/XPRvfXEpnW3C37k3.jpg

AlgoRelay is the first nostr native relay capable of serving personalized, algorithmic feeds without the use of external or proprietary APIs or DVMs.

It prioritizes surfacing content from the people you care about, based on your personal interactions.

For new users, it solves the "who should I follow?" problem by surfacing popular content in a global feed with our best content.

Clients can easily add personalized feeds by  displaying notes from a single relay, using the same REQ parameters we're already using - simply perform an auth handshake.

Coracle is the first client to implement it, you can see it in action here:
https://coracle.social/relays/wss%3A%2F%2Falgo.utxo.one%2F

Don't like the way my relay is surfacing content? You can easily adjust the weightings in your own relay by changing a few numbers - no coding required!

I look forward to seeing a blossoming market of algorithmic relays putting choice back in the user's hands. This is a big step forward for nostr, giving the masses what they want using open source, transparent algorithms.

This relay is released under an MIT license, feel free to use it however you see fit.

To run your own relay, get started here:

Non taken. I want to say I love your content and I spend an unhealthy amount of time sending clips and posts of you to friends, family and non-wizarding folk i'm trying to orange pill, it's just that sometimes I catch I glint of some teenager who that isn't American Hodl.

Understand this, both mothers and fathers hold important roles in their children’s lives. One is NOT more important than the other.

Moms need to let Dads do their thing. Let them turn boys into men. A father knows what this world demands of a man. No one is coming to save men. Fathers are innately scripted with necessary lessons to teach boys. The father will push the boy harder and put them through more discomfort than the woman’s empathy will allow her to do. I know you know this but for some reason you never put your wife on the same level as yourself. Your recent "i've put my wife out to pasture" comment was such a strange concept here in the UK. Putting anyone out to pasture is like sending a knacker to the glue factory. Like retirement, it's one stage before death. Personally I'll die with my workboots on and so will my wife.

Sidequest: Agreed about boys mot becoming men until you have a kid but there are other ways. Going to prison and going to war.  Three ways to earn your spurs. I did two of them but one will suffice. Those boys that fail to grow up under any of the above conditions have failed at life. Exit the genepool quietly please.


Can we please have a comparison to bamboo to put this statement in to perspective?

#FoodForThoughtstr


"Seeing those under him...".
Hmmm.

For fear of sounding like some woketard, my woman stands head and shoulder with her me, her man. We parent 50/50, she earns as much as I do, she stacks as hard as I do and we achieve more together as manifesting generators because neither of us are *under* the other. We belong to each other.  We both enjoy being responsible for the other and also being responsible to the other.

The world belongs to strong humans. Men and women, not some weak ass version who pretend to be superior to our other half. That's some ego driven bullshit that is protecting you from some weakness of character.

Eat some acid, shrooms, maybe some DMT if you need to be humbled by ego death.

Not even sure that matters. Satoshi designed Bitcoin to be open source so the reality is anyone is free to fork and do what they want with it. If we're building Bitcoin in anyone's "vision" 15 years after they went cold then isn't that the opposite of a truly open source technology.


Is there any app out there with a built in lighting wallet now that Primal has paused new wallets?

Looking for an option to onboard new users to #nostr without much friction.

Getalby has gated their service.


Read something similar recently:

small minds discuss people
average minds discuss events
big minds discuss ideas

It's fair to say 95% of X users are forced in to discussing people regardless of your IQ.

Question? What about all those bitcoiners who suck Saylors digital energy dick? There's a whole army of em on #nostr


Fine work and much needed.


I'm at Bitcoin Amsterdam, but spent half the day finishing some Signal-style double ratchet messaging.

Deployed an experimental version on https://iris.to. You can create chat invite links and give them to friends via QR or other messaging. The UI is still lacking and glitchy, but just had to demo at the conference.

The chats cannot be publicly linked to either participant, and even if your main Nostr key is revealed, the content and existence of past messages stays hidden.
 https://image.nostr.build/b4533acd973793f7114fd5c272ccd5b5045ea0bd127c214e8314fc4c8282a354.png

Also published npm package nostr-double-ratchet 0.0.1: https://www.npmjs.com/package/nostr-double-ratchet

It's not actually double ratchet yet, but the single ratchet already achieves forward and backward secrecy.

The second ratchet would help secure the latest consecutive messages by same author, in case a message key for the most recent of their messages is compromised. That makes disappearing messages or manually deleted messages more secure. I guess we'll have to do it so we can say "Signal-level security".

This is obviously not tested or audited yet, but probably it's not worse than normal Nostr DMs 😅

You can take a look at the source code, but I'll write a better technical description later. It's using existing Nostr cryptography + some key derivation stuff. Chat invites use gift wrap -like arrangement addressed to the inviter's temporary session key. https://github.com/mmalmi/nostr-double-ratchet

I have a hard time explaining ethereum to someone with a straight face. HEX is on a whole other level.

Great MLM though, they have the patter and I can see how they can convert all the low IQ rubes with promises of eternal wealth.


I should have explained the 1%. I hold equal whole units of BTC:XMR

It's actually less than 1% but so much upside in terms of freedom and privacy that it's a no brainer for me when you consider BlackRock (who are an extension of the USGOV) are doing a great job of capturing Bitcoin.

nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg I believe have their Primal wallet closed to new users.

Solid numbers.


Heaps of treachery in Bitcoin, you just need to have the perspective to spot it. Any asset that has the ability to shift culture is going to involve cabals, intel agencies, prospectors and clueless blind dogmatic followers.

The rise of the bitcoin-dollar is no different than the petro-dollar. Corrupt and greed are the new norm. Take Saylor for example. "Bitcoin is a dead asset without yield".

Will Bitcoin make its holders wealthy? High probability. Will Bitcoin create a financial system based upon meritocracy and egalitarianism? Zero fucking chance.

Not really worried though, I've got my entry ticket and been happily on the ride for years.


I do agree but journalists don't necessarily have to build a following on nostr, just use it as a data storage layer to cross post the notes to other platforms. It's not ideal but as long as you run your own relay it might offer long term protection of content while the UX and relay decentralisation issues are engineered out.


Shit name for a podcast though, you won't find any sane person who disagrees with that.


Why especially mothers? Heaps of kids don't spend enough time with their dads. Parenting is 50:50. I'm speaking from a position on many decades of experience.


Neither are bitcoin. There are no wallets, no addresses, you can't "own" bitcoin, you can't send bitcoin from one wallet to another. All we have is  proof of ownership of a private key and a really long chain of digital signatures.

But saying that, as soon as you close that channel, the hunters are ready to extract those sats that don't exist.

Are you talking commercial, industrial scale miners or solo nerdminers?


Correct. It will be different but it's also going to be better. It always is.

99% of bitcoiners will read your note and assume life will get harder, shitter and more of a grind. State got em just where it wants them.


 Took the time to set up my  nostr:npub1s0vtkgej33n7ec4d7ycxmwt78up8hpfa30d0yfksrshq7t82mchqynpq6j Passport as a 2/3 with  nostr:npub1cvqlzvmjercdn0ypsmv8f7j9lge6ahsnueh5rparh53wuswftv4q49yjt3 today. Reality was only 30 minutes and seemless integration with the Tapsigner.

Don't really see any glaring downside for using this setup as an everyday on-the-go spending wallet, keeping the Passport at home as the back up third key. Elegant enough for small amounts in your pocket, hardened enough for larger transactions if needed.

Just need to backup the priv key from the Tapsigner in case of total loss and i'm good to go.


That's what I don't get. Great that they've ported signal encryption over to nostr for DMs. Don't see why e-cash needs to be integrated, other than a potential revenue model later down the line. Anti-spam maybe.

Full common saying is "time is the only currency we spend without knowing our balance so spend it wisely". Carl Sandburg.

This slaps hard. Compelling.

It's amazing that bitcoin exists, and that it continues to work. It's amazing that nostr exists, and that all the stuff that we only dreamed about a few short years ago is being built out before our eyes.

Zaps and splits and eCash and self-sovereign infrastructure and streaming sats and swarm highlights and zapraisers and marketplaces and secure chat and and and. And this is just the beginning. "It's as bad now as it will ever be."

Grateful to be part of it all.


Fix broken money one penny at a time.

Local antiques dealer gives us a roll of old pennies. I polish, my nine year old son stamps. Antique dealer then sells them for £10 each. Gives son 50% who then buys bitcoin off me with the profit.

Son now has £100 worth of #bitcoin and they seem to be selling each week. Not quite circular economy but we're getting there. https://image.nostr.build/c73602fac8cd2ecc74ce886e7ca684cf1e71e6d4d6f95002becc1968ed6c057f.jpg

To me, shrooms represent transformative and practical experiences individuals have when they actually consume psilocybin and engage with the insights and challenges that arise from those experiences.

Same for #lsd and especially #dmt


I believe the data only is the way to go although I have no need for a number to register services as where I live, so cards are so cheap and come with a small bit of credit you can use them to register an app, throw it away and repeat.
Maybe there are better ways to do this?


Losing control is where the learning is. Giving in to a higher power in a safe setting with friends. As McKenna said, that is where the rubber hits the road.

Psilocybin mushrooms are more than just a means of experiencing altered states of consciousness. They played a crucial role in human evolution and consciousness expansion. Look up the  “Stoned Ape Theory,” which suggests that the consumption of psilocybin mushrooms by early hominids could have been a factor in the rapid development of human cognitive abilities.

You'll get a lot more from #psychedelics by taking a hero dose less frequently. The whole microdosing phenomenon has robbed ten of thousands of people of a truly life changing experience.

I'd pay a large amount of sats just not to hear that fucker talk.


Rural Thailand on a four hour drive in a taxi with my bowels opening up every hour dealing with a Kratom chewing psychopath driver. Not so much humbled but more like PTSD.


nostr is annoying as fuck but i'm persevering. It feels like bitcoin in 2013. All the moving parts are there but just in built in a really inefficient way. I have next to zero dev skills so I shouldn't complain too much. It's free, open, permissionless and I believe has a real shot at the king but as you said, might just become one big Maxipad circle jerk.

Even just sending some zaps is fraught with irritation. Zapped some older posts of UM but unable to know if they went through.


Yes they can. They just apply the full pressure of the law and 99.9% of bitcoiners will roll over.

Professional criminals targeting public facing bitcoiners are just as effective using alternative methods. Anything can and will be taken from anyone.

Unfortunately I've seen violence up close for a long of time and you'd be surprised just have many people fold even through just the threat of violence. Can't change the sympathathic nervous system. Our will to survive is instinctive.

I really feel like the next 2 years are going to be more groundbreaking that the last two for OMB.

A lot of people have been burned by single founders in "NFT" projects and people love to talk smack about zk but he's that quiet achiever who just gets the job done. Plus he's one of the only founders who really tries to live the code of bitcoin.

Under promise and over deliver. I feel that sums to OMB nicely. A lot of VCs are totally against that approach and that's why so many of them fail. They literally fail fast intentionally while zk just steers a course and moves towards everyday until he gets to the next destination for his community and holders.

My observations (I came to the OMB part late, Sept 23) is that OMB has the strongest ordinal community by far. Not the loudest and I like that. No point screaming the wrong words or the right words at the wrong people. Happy to be a small part of this culture shift.

Can't wait to see what the OMB community can do with fleets of lottery miners but imagine if an OMB hit a block... that's a wild prospect and one that would set the ordinals ecosystem on fire.

Good times ahead.

I'm torn on this. While I totally agree with you and my VPN is pointing in their direction, there is a small part of me that much like bitcoin, wants to speed this period of civilisation so we can all get to the 12 round slugfest  where people are forced to take action: Bitcoin, nostr, Monero.

Great bloke though.


Liked a lot of your shows, hated a lot of your shows. Regardless you've turned a lot of people on to bitcoin so good luck with your new endeavours. Personally it would of been great to see you slide in to What Monero Did instead but it's not my rodeo.

Looking forward to seeing Real Bedford play next month.

Peace.


zk-shark, following on from helping to bring thousands of full archival bitcoin nodes online through the OMB and wider ordinals community, is now poised to do the same for the pleb miner movement.

How are the censorship filterooor mafia going to handle this conflict of interest? For the average ordinal hater, having a strongAF ordinal community not only manufacture and distribute bitaxe boards but influence thousands of others to start hashing is an awkward proposal.

zK is building a decentralised community that over time will be antfragile enough to operate without him and we're already seeing smaller organic shoots forming on top of the OMB substrate. Until that point zk is still leading the charge.

Read: "While its still the early innings, I believe we are already the largest manufacturer, have the largest manufacturing capability, and hold the largest inventory by far of these devices."

I didn’t know that. Many thanks. I was side loading Monero on Umbrel last year but nice to see it featured. Monero is as important as Bitcoin imo.

Decided to download and run Start9 based on your tweet today around Max having a win with S9. Props.

Had the spare metal after my node suddenly filled up with spam to the full 2TB last week for no reason. Bizarre but couldn’t be arsed to run the logs so it’ll be remain a mystery.

Pissing with rain here in the UK and market looking horrendous so the perfect time to put them head to head.

PS, passport is amazing. Got over my initial niggles of no trick-me pin and no encrypt passphrase to microSD but loving it as my luke warm wallet paired with Blue. Keep up the good work, appreciate you.

Best practice? Freeze and forget or pay the CPFP and burn?

Hopefully a coincidence but my node seemed to have been spammed in some way. Went from 1TB to using the full 2TB within a day making it impossible to catch up to the chaintip. Anyone heard of this behaviour before?

No issues here.

Featherwallet for #monero should come baked in though. Awesome wallet for this environment. Obvs Monerujo for Graph phones.

UX is amazing.

Sparrow is way more intuitive and powerful transaction building interface.

Doesn't fuck around with lightning.

Overall granular control and parameters that anyone can learn.

Craig Raw ships code that is high quality and for me, it's left Electrum for dust. Not to say Electrum is bad, it's stood the test of time but looks and feels second class.

If you make a fuck up, how does moving to a new xpub help? There is no backward facing privacy. It’s just a series of breadcrumbs to new addresses. Only way is to coinjoin and that’s fast becoming a dead duck. You can’t erase history.

Bitcoin wasn’t designed to be private or anonymous and we shouldn’t assume otherwise. It’s got so many advantages of other forms of money but this area is a real weakness. Satoshi wrote about this extensively.


Not that easy.
One of my wallets has over 1500 UTXOs, all carefully curated, isolated, consolidated, labelled over the years. You don’t just hit the nuke button and sweep to a new xpub like changing a show on Netflix.


Decent post. Hard not to level up to smooth brain maxipad nostr levels on here. Yes, we need as much diversity on here as possible. Monero, ordinals, the whole lot.


Agreed. Freedom tools extend beyond Bitcoin.  There’s a reason why #monero is the money of choice for all DNMs.


You’re confusing privacy with anonymity. Totally different beasts. Bitcoin isn’t anonymous so it’s not perfect money. Great SoV though.

We know many of Satoshi’s addresses, transactions and blocks he mined.

So you’re saying he fucked up real bad?

Umbrel does IBD over tor and it’s free and one line of code on pretty much any piece of junk hardware with enough storage. Why is Start9 such a revelation to people with a $1300 price tag for prism hardware and spec isn’t that good.


We’re so far past that point.
The privacy at protocol ship has sailed. Please someone prove me wrong?

I do work for an ordinals project and that’s where my interests are in bitcoin are currently but I’ve been using Sparrow for years and Samourai since day 1 since I have a real need for security and privacy on chain.

Ordinals have their detractors, especially on #nostr but bitcoin is for enemies. That’s what I love about it so much. No one can tell you what bitcoin is or should be. If anyone does or declares “I’ve grokked bitcoin” then they don’t understand the technology.


Same as when areas of London that were immigrant strongholds became “gentrified”, the hipsters moved in and suddenly that same area became fake, expensive and full of wankers.


Going for retirement funds would be suicide for any political party.

A bitcoin nationalisation program would be an easy lift. They get to assassinate bitcoin socially, most salty nocoiners will eat the narrative and support the move.


Coming to a country near you soon.


I was once like you Fred. But now I feel corruption wins more often than not so reversion to the worse possible scenario over decades will be the trajectory. The old power structures won’t go without a fight. They won’t and can’t kill bitcoin so they’ll just target bitcoiners themselves.

Bitcoin doesn’t need mass adoption to win. I’m personally targeting the SoV narrative. Always have since I found bitcoin. I spend in Monero but believe Bitcoin will take gold’s crown. It’s an easy10x from here in terms of MC. We can have less than 1% of the world owning bitcoin and still win as the best  SoV / savings device.

In terms of an idyllic future of hyperbitcoinization I personally feel that is off the cards and I’m ok with it.

And that's totally fine. I find the hatred of Ordinals fascinating on Nostr and in general. Maxis love the expression "everything is good for bitcoin" mantra and phrases like antifragile yet get their knickers in a twist because fees are pricing them out of a pure PvP mempool.

It's a little embarrassing tbf


This sounds fine. What's the issue?

You can take a piece of toilet paper, shit on it and if someone wants to buy it then who really cares?


What are you talking about? Do you know how little I just paid for a 4TB SSD?


Nope, it was Lopp and the other maxis who were saying it's the biggest threat to bitcoin.

Now maxis are salty at ordinals because they can't buy a coffee with bitcoin and orange pill their Uber driver.

Can't please em either way.

Meanwhile bitcoin continues to care little what's actually been transacted as long as it doesn't break consensus.

But chief maxi pad Luke reckons he'll just censor the spam. What a sorry state of affairs.

Thank fuck for Monero.


So everyone was shitting themselves at the lack of security budget a year ago and now it's just magically solved itself through maxi cope. Righty-o.


Current #bitcoin ramblings from the depths of my tiny lizard brain.

"Serfs and Sovereigns, Two tribes, One future" encapsulates the profound divide in the digital age between those who passively engage with new technologies and those who actively seek to understand and manipulate these tools for greater freedom. In the context of Bitcoin, this dichotomy is starkly illustrated by two groups: the "serfs" and the "sovereigns."

The serfs represent the majority who interact with Bitcoin through conventional exchanges, often with Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations. They are the "NPC dead-eyes," a term evoking the non-player characters in video games, suggesting a lack of agency or critical thought. These individuals may not fully grasp the implications of their digital financial transactions, overlooking the importance of financial privacy and autonomy. They are content with the convenience and perceived security provided by regulated platforms, yet remain unaware of the invisible chains that bind them - reliance on third parties, vulnerability to regulatory changes, and exposure to surveillance.

In contrast, the sovereigns are the vanguards of the digital realm, the hardcore cypherpunks who champion decentralization, privacy, and autonomy. They delve into the technicalities of Bitcoin, running their nodes, advocating for privacy-enhancing technologies, and circumventing traditional financial systems. These individuals embody the spirit of true digital sovereignty, existing as freemen unshackled by the constraints of centralized systems. Their approach to Bitcoin is not just as a form of investment but as a tool for liberation, a means to reclaim control from centralized financial authorities.

The statement "Two tribes, One future" suggests an eventual convergence or a shared destiny between these two groups. It implies that the future of Bitcoin and digital currencies at large will be shaped by the actions and choices of both the serfs and the sovereigns. The serfs, though currently in chains, have the potential to evolve, learning from the sovereigns to value and protect their financial privacy and freedom. Conversely, the sovereigns face the challenge of making their esoteric knowledge accessible and actionable for the masses, thereby empowering more individuals to break free from the constraints of traditional financial systems.

In essence, the future of digital currencies like Bitcoin hinges on the interplay between these two groups. The serfs' awakening to the importance of privacy and autonomy, guided by the sovereigns' pioneering spirit, could lead to a more decentralized and free financial future. Conversely, a failure to bridge this divide might reinforce existing power structures, leaving the promise of digital currencies unfulfilled. The statement "Serfs and Sovereigns, Two tribes, One future" is thus a call to action, urging a collective effort towards a future where financial autonomy and privacy are not just the privileges of a few, but the rights of all.

That's a little short sighted view but one thing is true, Ordinals are securing the chain and will provide the majority of the security budget once the halving arrives so you better cross your fingers, toes and nutsack they succeed.


the caps are hurting me, ngl


Where were the signs? 🤪


It already is in their crosshairs.
Going down is pretty much a done deal.
History repeats.


The majority of ordinal inscribers who have been around since May are Sparrow  power users and know their way around a PSBT better than most WoS maxis.

#bitcoin.


Had to mute Udi and Eric as they are both annoying as fuck but to their credit they've onboarded so many people to bitcoin and will continue to in this cycle. Will they all stick around though?

Some of the discords I'm you are met with a wall of posts about how to run a full node. I've lost count of the people I've pushed to K3tan, RoninDojo and Umbrel.

People come for the "art" but many will be here for the revolution once they work out that stacking sats is the only art they need.

Plus, as a precious ICO degen myself, having that experience as a huge advantage. It really is the wild west all over again and the gains have been worth it so far. I'm sure many maxis will say I'll get rekt in the long run but for many I know, all profits just keep on going back to cold storage. There's a lot more well considered degens on there than people think.


Many hardcore maxis in 2023 were the ICO degens of 2016. It's all part of the Stove Touching Theory.

Slight disagreement with your theory. Everyone needs to touch the stove minimum of twice.


Art is totally subjective. That's what makes it art.

The movie is different this time. This one features node count going up, maxis committing suicide, usual traders getting rekt, ETHbois making the leap to The God Chain, security budget going parabolic, Odell winning his bet with Marty and some collectors amassing generational wealth.

I don't really see any downside to Ordinals. Anyone distracted by them wouldn't be in Bitcoin for the long term anyway but through this new breed of degens on bitcoin we all get to reap the above rewards.

#bitcoin.


Still not convinced on this little #bitcoin pumpy. Feels like the euphoria is just being breaking even. Wouldn't be a bad thing to dump hard and give people a dose of reality before we grind up to new ATHs in 2024.

Not even for your life or an empty mempool.


I don't think anyone expected Ordinals to be 57% of transactions over the last 24hours making them bitcoin's number one use case. Annoying fact but at least mempools will never clear again 🤟


$ROUP mint is currently about 90% compete. Based out of China. Hopefully fees should starting dropping this afternoon UK time.


Hmmm. I think we're saying the same thing?

) Runes brings all the miscreants home to The God Chain.

2) Blockspace becomes more scarce as a result.

3) Miner win, plebs win.

4) People HAVE to use LN which is fair to say most don't have a need at present.


And how's the security budget looking under your future low blockspace demand? I'd say not very healthy at all. Bring on sustained high fee environments, bring on a need for L2 innovations as a result.


Hit it up for a second spin.

Realised there's always more to discover; it's akin to a Rubik's cube. Revisiting it unveils levels I had previously overlooked. My inability to fully grasp it the first time stems from an overload of podcasts. Cutting it back to BBB and RHR for the win.

The discussion on zombie-ism particularly resonated with me. It's challenging to view this topic positively, knowing that in most zombie stories, the odds are overwhelmingly against you, with allies flipping' on you and turning into adversaries quick as sticks.

Everyone buys bitcoin at the price they deserve right? That classic is scorched in to my memory and my family are sick of me saying it whenever they ask about the price and if it's a good time to buy bitcoin.

I'm relentless in my repetition of these words though. Unapologetic.


True words.

It's about creating a solid foundation where skills and resources are continuously developed. The emphasis on personal growth and skill enhancement is key – it not only prepares all of us for the challenges ahead but also contributes to the overall fortitude of the community (@`ODELL`... meshtadels?)

And yes, stacking relentlessly underscores the commitment to Bitcoin and its principles, reinforcing the network and solidifying our stance.

They'll not take me back to the fiat mines without a fight.

Oh how the #bitcoin narrative shifts once more.


dafuk is $boost?


NVK has form form for repeated "linux is a shitcoin" and openly a macbook whore. Hates CalyxOS and Graphine and is constantly shitting on people who use them with posts such as the above touting "well you're all fucked anyway, might as well stick within the Walled Apple Garden".

If you like the #bitcoin network secure then by grateful for inscriptions and the ordinal lens. As a pleb miner I embrace blockchain scarcity.

Bring on Runes.

ps, If I want to send value to someone fast, I refer to Monero whenever possible.


Maybe aim that comment at the known iphone lover NVK. I'm fully FOSS (as much as can be) across all machines. Apart from living in a cave, there isn't much more I can do to keep my head beneath the parapet so i'll keep chillin. Yes this can be seen as in contrast to "the price of freedom is constant vigilance" and while my eyes are fully wide open I try not to let the fear grip me on the daily. That's exactly what the old power structures want.


Signal isn't broke. Much more likely his phone was hacked or the otjer person on the line was weak. But yes, if the devil is on on your tail then there is practically no way to shake them.

Fortunately they don't give a shit about 99% of us as not everyone is planning on having a coffee with Putin next week so every needs to relax a little.


I don't think you've been singled out. The algo just make a call that day. Heaps of other people have been getting banned from random trivial stuff unrelated to bitcoin. You could of posted those words on any other day and it may have slipped the net.

That being said, it still sucks and I feel for you. You've assisted me on many occasions and helped me on my journey over the last few years. I'm always grateful. If you don't get it reversed then I really hope nostr blows up and you get to reach many more people.

if you're ever shipping to the UK then lmk. Only too happy to help to financially assist Ministry of Nodes and at the same time add another nodebox to the grid here in England.

All the best!


Waiting on Casey's Rune protocol to slap the maxis in the face once again which will in turn leak social capital to Udi meaning we'll have to endure months of bullshit conversations alongside Drivechains twatterings.


El jefe has spoken 🤙

On the road but will catch the audio. In desperate need of some sanity this week.

44 as it's my lucky number.

I also feel that it's not the value of the sats but the act itself. It's akin to a "like" or a thumbs up, a simple gesture to show appreciation. If I feel that the person is deserving of something more in a monetary sense then sure I'll manually bump it up to 1k.


Coldcard. Maybe a steeper learning curve than others. When used in conjunction with Sparrow on desktop there really isn't a compelling reason to use any other combination.

If on a budget then just use tailsOS, install Sparrow. While tailsOS is technically not a hardware wallet, it has been battle tested for years with electrum and gets the job done. AND it's free.


Coldcard haters in disbelief. They attack the Q1 for looking like BlackBerry but for me that's just a bonus. I had zero reasons to jump to M4s from my fleet of M3s but I per-orderd a few of the Q1s as there are heaps of advantages for me and my set up.

"Scientific Calculators" on the customs declaration please.

Spend some picos. Gambling is good.  #monero


40lb GoRuck had me struggling yesterday evening for this 7km uphill hike. Got to the top of this particular Dartmoor Tor and the views were worth it.

Couldn't care for telemetry, steps counted or any other measures of success. Just sweated and breathed heavy for a long time in the fresh air. Good times #nostr.

I just couldn't resist this. Can't find the source of this on twatter/X

For all those #bitcoin "I don't care about KYC" guys and gals out there, it's only a matter of time before you have the boot on your neck. Maybe you have already but you just don't know it, or care about it?

You don't have to admit you're using #monero IRL
That's the point of it.


Any Revolut users in the UK should switch to Xapo. Won't have any of those issues (at time of writing)

Same same but different KYC #bitcoin experience if that's your thing.


Just listened to the excellent samourai interview on Chris Blec Conversations discussing #bitcoin privacy or lack of.

Good to know Samourai Wallet is integrating tools this year enabling #monero swaps.

Lazer eyes will be in disbelief when it gets pushed live.

So bullish for bitcoin and monero in this regard.

sats are the standard. can't believe john is that bored. shouldn't he be busy building?


pack that shit in.


Thanks fiend. Wild swimming and a night time fire ceremony to keep out the machine elves or unwelcome entities.
Going to be a big one. GG got us covered on the sacred geometry.

Messaged received many years ago but me and our motley band of psychonauts and still committed to having as much fun as possible hiking the Devon hills and camping under the stars eating #lsd and smoking #dmt.

What a wonderful world there is to explore outside of #bitcoin and #monero

Run for the hills, your node will still be on line tomorrow.

OpenSats is proud to announce long term support for bitcoin core developer nostr:npub1s6z7hmmx2vud66f3utxd70qem8cwtggx0jgc7gh8pqwz2k8cltuqrdwk4c.

Sjors has reviewed almost a thousand pull requests since 2017, some of them in-depth reviews across many rebases. He has opened about 160 pull requests over the years in various areas, mostly related to the wallet codebase. His main focus is on thorough code reviews as opposed to writing code himself.

Joining nostr:npub1uaj9phu5lpxpczm3vaayt46m0yv0pduxzy7z6quwd2uggxue7fmqx9665u and Marco Falke, we are now providing long term support to three bitcoin core developers.

Onward 🫡

#monero delisted from by yet another exchange in a "free democratic country". Price doesn't care.

Holding and using XMR never tasted so good.


nostr:npub1guh5grefa7vkay4ps6udxg8lrqxg2kgr3qh9n4gduxut64nfxq0q9y6hjy salivating at that drome.


It's a bit of an outlay and you need the space but it paid for itself after a couple of years especially as coffee (and restaurants) in the UK are among the worst in the world. I put this down to the Brits not feeling comfortable complaining in general.

Wonder if these amazon rubes will also be lining up to kiss the orb?


Waiting for nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx to call $140k top and I'm whaling in. In the meantime staying humble and stacking sats.
