 This comes up a lot at our regular BitDevs to which the answer has always remained the same.

 Will you fund a campaign for a nostr:nprofile1qqsqt94cze77fkfxhgt9s2rfxmht6gjn96n8asf2jrq8szkkdhclexgprfmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumgd96xvmmjvdjjummwv5hszxnhwden5te0wfjkccte9emk2mrvdaexgetj9ehx2ap0qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uvturtf sheriff? 
 I'll get them to you when I have them. Your curiosity is enough right now. Thank you for the genuine consideration.  
 As to what it means, it would mean paying someone to campaign. I've never campaigned so have 0 idea what that means. Asking people that do now.  
 More philosophically speaking it would be a constitutional sheriff.  
 Fair criticism; we'll implement Amber support for the next Android build. 🫡  
 First time seeing Primal go with a sovereignty decision. Nice. Might try it again soon.

 Fork activation banter in a Discord. Popcorn out. No one knows how it will unfold or if it will unfold.

 Anarchist feel emotion too, ya know.  
 I like paranoid crypto anarchists. Good folks doing good work. Big fan. 
 🫡 
 Interesting. People seem to misunderstand what being an anarchist means. It's similar to being a capitalist or communist.  
 They're ideological leanings that can never be truly realized.  
 Maybe. We're all animals at the end of the day and there will be rules. I hope those rules are at the smallest scale possible.
For instance, parents rule over kids. Caretakers of the elderly or infirm rule over their wards. Anachary can never be absolute, the same as capitalism or communism or most -isms. The world is a messy place.  
 No absolutes. All nuances and trade offs.

 You're not related, I would be wasting my time parenting you.  
 Such an internet tough guy. Lol  
 I've begun contemplating monarchy a lot since having kids. Good thing at the end of it all Christ is King so just gotta do well by doing well and homie sorted out the tail end already.  
 I moreso meant we don't have to worry about rulers after Chrit returns.  
 Brain hurts now. Going back to work. Any recommended reading?

 Be mindful who you allow to leverage your social capital.  
 Saylor should now be considered a hostile actor against Bitcoin. In case he wasn't before for you.

 That lecturing helped me a lot but now I consider him a #GigaChode instead of a GigaChad.  
 As a former spook, he definitely fits the mold.  
 Naive because he doesn't understand economic implications of an ideological driven scarce asset. He thinks he can play fuck fuck games and not lose. He will learn through pain.

I'll still give it a follow, I suppose.  
 Also learned this today. Feel very rugged.

Could replicate the gnu radio into a library or crate for RXing meshtastic with SDR and then send out using standard bitcoin RPC. 

I have limited time but have been exploring this approach.

 I hope this apathy will happen only once we learn to hyper-efficiently channel and harness energy due to mining incentives.

 Peaceful, not harmless. You should study the difference between the two.  
 Peaceful, not harmless.

Know the difference. It matters.
