 Any other sober people on here? #asknostr 

Trying to add some more positive people while rebuild... 
 Sober as in alcohol? That's a massive yes, three years-ish and not counting. 
 We don't have enough bitcoin content here. 
 I'd agree, same bullshit on repeat. All the usual big accounts cross-posting from X or tagging Saylor. Pitiful. 
 Finally on #NOSTR!
Thank you nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nv... 
 Welcome and followed

It's good to remember how I came to be.  
 BIG DAY FOR ME.

I received my first ever zap ⚡️ which is ♾️% more than I earned on Twitt... 
 Solo mine via public pool app on your node FTW 
 Duncan doing awesome work there. Gammas in stock too 👀 
 Totally agree. Spin that wheel 144 times a day. 

Just heard you for the first time on Pleb Underground. Looking forward to hearing you speak in Bristol next month.

 But you can run your own instance of it on Umbrel ⚡️ 
 Can we please have a comparison to bamboo to put this statement in to perspective? 
 Being a man means duty and obligation. 

Duty is the root of masculine love. 

A man understands ... 
 "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. 
 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.    
 Just checking out the unconf next month. Keeping it grassroots 🌱

Hopefully see you there, just got to check the diary.  
 Any recos on cooking a really thick ribeye without a bbq? Is there an oven method? After searing?... 
 This crazy rambling made sense to me. Will try this tomorrow.

Blowing me away thinking of all the possibilities that e-cash can offer us. I have many more questions about e-cash now than I had before the  @niftynei ++ conference in Berlin last weekend/ 

Nice to chat to  @Max Hillebrand again after two years since I met him last in Amsterdam. . He's open, honest and has a wealth of knowledge in the space and was happy to answer all my questions. Huge thanks Max.  
 High vibes from Calle, Max and every other speaker. Much of the content went over my head but still managed to take away some amazing nuggets of info. @bob from Boardwalk killed it ⚡️ 
 really not matter who where is #satoshi, what matters most now how many people really using his i... 
 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. 
 Bumped in to a bunch of deranged #HEX maxis in the most random rural UK village. 

All very nice guys but totally batshit crazy. They thought I was reckless being 99% allocated to #bitcoin
https://m.primal.net/LQty.jpg 
 Feeling under allocated 😅 
 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. 
https://m.primal.net/KWgP.jpg 
 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. 
 What's the #nostr set up with the least friction to onboard people so they are able to zap?

@primal I believe have their Primal wallet closed to new users.

@Alby I believe funnel you to their Hub and is now a paid service only? Please correct me if I'm wrong. 

Just trying to find a way I can take someone's phone and set them up, send them some sats and let them zap away in under 5 mins. 
 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  
 Based on my made-up categories, this is how I would split our most known apps. Also... Microapps ... 
 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.

 Why didn't Trump free Ross Ubricht when he was President?



 
 Ross hadn't served enough time so it was unpalatable. 
Ross has now done 10 years and I believe that was his deal if he pled at the earliest point to get maximum concessions. Now he's covered that number, it's a much easier sell to a nation of fat dumb Americans who for some reason have the ability to vote in another clown.

 This is a reply I can get behind. 
 Is this still in community repo or straight out the official store? 
 Awesome. Setting it up now and will see how it travels !

Use a vipper on this one but a wealth of knowledge if you're cooking up. 
 we want the path to wealth paved with productivity not treachery

that’s why we bitcoin 
 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. 
 Login, post, build social capital, get account locked, get your KYC details passed to your government who then fucks you hard. Doesn't sounds like a solid option. See today's news for how this is playing out.

I do t see how nostr is technical? Download primal APK and sideload = freedom to post whatever the he'll you want.

 i feel so bad when i see today's kids learning everything from a smartphone 

parents especially ... 
 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.  
 Shit name for a podcast though, you won't find any sane person who disagrees with that. 
 Rare sat extractors salivating at the prospect of tracking Trump Sats. I'm guessing that channel is going to remain open for a long time unless it's force close? 
 Strike to ZapRite via LND voltage? 
 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. 
 Curious, did you tattoo the bitcoin logo on your nipples or is that some temporary ink?

Invoking Prmia Nocta 
 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  @Foundation Passport as a 2/3 with  @c301f133 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.
