This must be a guy talking and not an AI.. if it is an AI then Im very impressed.


Not as sneaky as this bitcoin badger that's for sure 🙂


This is great! I love it. Honey-badger Escape Plan

I thought school teachers were afraid of parents. Maybe the parents aren't scary to them anymore. I realize also that it might not be the teachers, many of them are probably forced to go by the curriculum. Idk, I'm foreign.


I'm so glad you managed this! 🫂 (cyberhug)


NEW CLIENT ANNOUNCEMENT
https://m.primal.net/LDNn.mp4
I wanted to build on nostr and I asked OpenSats for a grant to work on ONOSENDAI one day per week. I scaled back my hours at my fiat job and began part time nostr development to work on a novel metaverse project where all actions require proof of work. This was the beginning of my nostr career. Today is a huge milestone in that journey.

It took me 52 Fridays from proof of concept to reality, and now ONOSENDAI functions as the first cyberspace client.

Today I present to you the thermodynamic update to #ONOSENDAI https://onosendai.tech
#welcometocyberspace folks. It's finally here. Check it out on desktop for the best experience. More updates for a better Mobile experience are in the pipeline.

I'm working on a video to explain cyberspace and how to use ONOSENDAI and I'll post it ASAP.

The short tutorial is this:
- WASD for movement (relative to camera)
- Q = down, E = up
- ESC to put camera behind avatar
- Mouse Click and drag to move camera
- Mouse Wheel to change Throttle

Sections of the app:

LOCAL
This is the on-the-ground cyberspace view. The shiny polygon you begin your journey in is your Home Coordinate, which is simply your hex pubkey. Your journey always starts here if you derezz (or get derezzed) at any point, but your progress is saved to nostr and your avatar will travel even when you're away from the app!

SECTOR
This is the 10,000ft view of cyberspace. Nearby sectors are automatically scanned for objects of interest and mapped in 3D: other avatars, hyperjumps, shards, and constructs (coming soon).

GLOBAL
This is the 100,000,000ft view of cyberspace. The staggeringly large full coordinate system is shown.

BUILD
This tab is a 3D editor that lets you build 3D objects called Shards. Shards can be mined and planted wherever you are at in cyberspace for everyone to admire. In the LOCAL tab you can mine and deploy a Shard at your current position. The size and complexity of the shard determines its mining difficulty.

Terminology:

- coord - a cyberspace coordinate is a 256-bit number, just like event ids and public keys.
- chain - the nostr events representing your movement which contain proof-of-work and are linked together via hash
- sector - a 2^30 cube area of cyberspace
- G - Gibson, the unit of measurement in cyberspace named after William Gibson (the author who invented the concept of cyberspace)
- plane - The last bit in a cyberspace coordinate determines its plane. Depending on your pubkey you will either be in D-Space or I-Space. You will be able to switch planes in a future update. All points in D-Space map to a real point in reality, including Earth. All points in I-Space are virtual.

Despite the polish I was able to muster, ONOSENDAI is still in its infancy, and so is cyberspace. It's up to you to explore, build, discover, and push it forward, because unlike other metaverses, this one belongs to everyone and is controlled by no-one. That's the whole point!

I would like to invite all #cyberspace enthusiasts to join my new ditto instance at https://straylight.cafe and use your nostr identity to ask questions, discuss cyberspace, futurism, and how to build this new world together. I think it's going to be a lot of fun. I want to shut down the ONOSENDAI telegram group in favor of Straylight Café because it's nostr based, so hop on over and make it happen!

When you join Straylight.cafe, it isn't connected to any external relays on purpose, so you must edit your profile and customize it for how you want your npub to appear on this site. Whatever you post on Straylight stays there and doesn't go out to the rest of nostr unless you do so manually. It's like an open telegram group -- public, but not broadcasted by default.

And so concludes my OpenSats grant. I want to thank so many people for supporting me, encouraging me, and helping me along this journey.
I am going to try to list everyone I can and I apologize if I miss someone:
OpenSats and the whole team there
Gsovereignty and Bitkarrot for having me on their podcast. This was a huge break for me into the nostr scene.
Johns and Marina for encouraging me and inviting me to awesome bolt.fun hackathons which were a wonderful opportunity to meet great people!

You devs. If some one asks you politely in a DM about a possible podcast interview or somethimg of the sort
... don't always assume it's a scammer or that duck spammer. Just politely refuse and carry on.. ignoring is the worst. Any takes? Tear this apart if youd like.

I see. That is sad to hear. I guess they are trying in some weird way to flex their censorship muscle to intimidate others.


I missed something. Is something going on with nostr devs in Europe? Getting targeted or prosecuted? What did I miss?


We will have another round in the future I'm sure! 🤝

GM Mr. Gigs


Well worth a read. The audiobook is also good to listen to while driving. I learned new things about the cypherpunk history and what characters played a part in eventually creating bitcoin.


I just finished reading The Genesis Book by Aaron van Wirdum. He talks about the history of Cypherpunks, open source, Stallman and Linux. Fascinating read.


ég þyrfti að gera meira af svoleiðis. Góð ábending


I want to use the opportunity here on nostr to show a little side gig I have been working on with some great dutch bitcoiners. They needed posters for their regular meetups and I wanted to get better at making them. I am grateful for the opportunity and connections I’m making with people in the bitcoin community, although I didn’t study Graphic design in school, I still like it. These are only 4 of 6 posters I need to make. If anyone needs something like this done for an event/meetup or such, please contact me. I really enjoy doing this on the side. My regular job is nothing like this and I feel a strong need to counteract the negarives of that job with something creative. #art #bitcoin #posterart https://image.nostr.build/ae7b38221cef2303a870a19a23c4e142e5055a627c9d7cfec12a781422de665c.jpg https://image.nostr.build/57d2c809f61c0e6dcd5b78698d6c25a87647d8d24d306c03280fecabca8b419d.jpg https://image.nostr.build/cfd17ff5ea9245710ce4bc7ed9ce47e9d59f19ec592cb61c6e9d23b0e7ab19a7.jpg https://image.nostr.build/e47c08bfeb4aedb94329a5d2e78a0626e4c8ec6a66f93f4785344f1ffcb589ff.jpg

Óumtalaði Alkemistinn
Vagn Margeir Smelt skrifar 7. júní 2024
Þessi skoðanagrein er sérstaklega fyrir hinn almenna borgara, en einnig fyrir sérfræðingana og nútíma hagfræðingana sem eru of nálægt skóginum til að sjá trén.

Mér þykir oft skrýtið hversu fáir átta sig á því að mannfólkið hefur fyrir þó nokkru leyst hina dularfullu ráðgátu sem Alkemistar forðum eyddu allri sinni ævi í að leysa. Fyrir þau okkar sem hafa skoðað þessi mál, þá sýnum við þó skilning á hvers vegna það er; tungumál okkar hefur einfaldlega ekki enn fengið merkingafræðilega „uppfærslu“.

Alkemía
Alkemía (tekið úr arabísku: al-kimia) var ferli sem fól í sér að reyna að umbreyta málmum í gull. Þetta er ferli sem hefur átt hug margra, ekki bara vegna þess að gull hafði þjónað hlutverki peninga í árþúsundir, heldur einnig vegna meðfylgjandi hugmyndar um lengingu lífs okkar „lífselíxír”. Hin furðulega list alkemíu virðist vissulega ólíkleg til árangurs við fyrstu sýn, þá sérstaklega í ljósi þess hve erfitt það er að breyta atómbyggingu frumefna, en hún er þrátt fyrir það ekki ómöguleg. Isaac Newton var einn af þeim merku einstaklingum úr sögunni sem hafa reynt fyrir sér í lausn á þessari dularfullu ráðgátu og reyndi hann fyrir sér í henni, árangurslaust, í nærri þrjá áratugi. Það var hinsvegar á meðan hann sinnti hlutverki sínu sem meistari konunglegu myntarinnar í London, sem Newton setti fram tillögu að því að tengja gull við silfur á föstu gengi. Af Newton sjálfum óafvitandi, lagði þessi hugmynd grunninn að lausn við leyndardóm alkemíu. Það eina sem þurfti í viðbót var einfalt handbragð.

Peningar
Við höfum svo gott sem gleymt því að gull var, fyrst og fremst, peningar. Gull er ekkert annað en fyrirbæri sem er með eiginleika sem henta peningum vel; það endist vel, það er einkennandi í uppbyggingu og erfitt að falsa, en fyrst og fremst þá býr það yfir skorti. Það er jafnvel svo sjaldgæft að allt uppgrafið magn gulls fyllir svæði tenings sem er einungis ~22m á allar hliðar. Eignarhald á gulli táknaði, einfaldlega, gnægð; það táknaði auðvelt eignarhald á nær öllu því sem fólk vildi; mat, búskap, húsnæði o.s.frv. Það er því engin furða að saga mannkyns er full af fjársjóðum uppbyggðum af gulli og töfralegum hugmyndum um að geta framleitt þennan fjársjóð að vild. Goðsögnin um hönd Mídasar, El Dorado, gullna flísin og auðvitað alkemía. Það sem stendur upp úr við þessar sögur er sú staðreynd að þær snúast allar sérstaklega um gull; gull en ekki rauðar rósir, silfur, eða bleikar perlur.

Þær snúast sérstaklega um gull vegna peningalegra eiginleika gulls og þar af helst að það bjó yfir skorti. Þessi sjaldgæfni gulls er án efa sá eiginleiki sem gerði gull eftirsóknarvert og er ástæða þess að fólk ímyndaði sér töfralegan mátt að geta framleitt það að vild. Það sem fylgir hinsvegar sjaldnast sögunum er einmitt hver framvindan yrði ef fólk fengi óhindraðan mátt til þess að framleiða þessa peninga. Það sem virðist nokkuð víst er að ef gull yrði jafn algengt og almennir fjörusteinar, þá væri það ekki jafn verðmætt og það hefði líklega misst hlutverk sitt sem peningar. Ef það eru engar hömlur á framleiðslu, eins og t.d. námugröftur og vinnsla, þá hefði sá sem bar þennan mátt líklega valdið offramboði á gullinu og í leiðinni, stolið virði frá þeim sem áttu nú þegar gull.

Handbragðið með gullfæti
Á fyrri hluta tuttugustu aldar höfðu mörg ríki heimsins tekið gull eignarnámi af einstaklingum og fyrirtækjum og var eignarhald á því gert ólöglegt. Í staðinn voru gefnir út seðlar; miðar sem áttu að tákna virði gulls. Í tilraun til þess að endurreisa alþjóðlega efnahagskerfið undir lok síðari heimsstyrjaldar, var nýr gullfótur settur. Kerfið tengdi dollarann við gull með föstu gengi og svo aðra gjaldmiðla við dollarann. Í stað silfur-fasta, líkt og hjá gullfæti Newton, þá var auðveldlega framleiddur pappír orðinn tengdur gullinu með föstu gengi. Kerfið lifði í tæp þrjátíu ár áður en Richard Nixon, fyrrum forseti Bandaríkjanna, tók dollarann af gullfæti í viðbrögðum við kostnaði af stríðinu í Víetnam. Hann framleiddi umfram magn af seðlunum miðað við gullið og hrinti þar með af stað kerfinu sem nú er til staðar.

Þetta er handbragðið sem átti sér stað; handbragðið sem tók rétt rúmlega fimmtíu ár í framkvæmd; handbragðið sem fól í sér virðis-færslu frá gulli til ríkisútgefinna miða. Í árþúsundir hafði fólk talið gull verðmætt vegna ákveðinna eiginleika, en vegna þvingunar höfðu seðlarnir sjálfir nú tekið við þessu virði. Þessi ákvörðun eins manns gaf ríkjum og lánastofnunum þennan magnaða mátt Alkemistans; máttinn að framleiða peninga upp úr þurru, að eigin vild. Nú í dag eru þessar stofnanir komnar með stafræna útgáfu af þessum seðlum og er framleiðsla á þeim orðin eins auðveld og að rita tölustafi í reiknivél.

Huliðsskikkja tungumálsins
Við erum að mörgu leyti plötuð af tungumálinu. Daglega tekur fólk húsnæðislán, bílalán, námslán og almenn neyslulán og við notumst svo við kreditkort fyrir daglega neyslu, en í sannleika sagt er ekkert af þessu „lán“, þar sem skilgreining á „láni” felur í sér eignarhald fyrst. Ef „Jóna” ætlar, til dæmis, að lána vini sínum pott og pönnu, þá þarf Jóna augljóslega að eiga pott og pönnu fyrst. Hjá viðskiptabönkum á þetta ekki við þar sem viðskiptabankar þurfa alls ekki að eiga fyrir útlánum sínum; bindiskylda bankanna var lengi 0%, en er nú nýlega 3%.

Rétt eins og sú staðreynd að útgjöld ríkisins eru ekki skorðuð við skattinnheimtu, þar sem ríkið sjálft getur tekið „lán”, þá eru bankar sömuleiðis ekki skorðaðir við uppsafnaðan sjóð sem þeir lána hluta úr, eins og margir ímynda sér ferlið. Bankar eru einfaldlega að framleiða peninga í sömu andrá og útlán eru veitt og svo krefjast þeir gjalda í formi vaxta fyrir „vinnu“ sína sem lántakandi þarf að greiða til baka til viðbótar við höfuðstól.

Nú þegar „lán” á ekki lengur við, hvarflar eflaust að mörgum hvaða nýyrði er hægt að skapa sem nær yfir þetta ferli. Hinsvegar er ekkert nýyrði þarft, þar sem við eigum nú þegar orð sem er með tilvísun í þessa merkingu; orð sem nær vel yfir „töfralega framleiðslu peninga”. Við verðum því að kalla fyrirbærið réttum nöfnum; þetta er einfaldlega alkemía og framleiðendur peninganna eru nútíma „Alkemistar” .

Tungumálið varðandi lánaferlið er ekki það eina sem platar. Fjármálastofnanir, bankar og ríki eru heiti og hugtök sem við notum í samhengi við starfsemi þeirra, en við virðumst þó vera nokkuð skilyrt í því hvernig við hugsum um þau. Það virðist nefnilega oft látið kyrrt liggja að í grunninn eru þetta einfaldlega hópur fólks. Hópur fólks með sín gildi, vilja, val, fordóma og hagsmuni, og það sem meira er, aðgang að leyndardómum alkemíunnar; með öðrum orðum, aðgang að framleiðslu peninga.

Staðreyndin er sú að við fæðumst einfaldlega inn í kerfi sem notar ákveðin gjaldmiðil sem mælieiningu á virði og við lifum og mótumst með því kerfi; atvik og atburðarásir innan kerfisins virðast í okkar augum eðlileg þar sem við þekkjum ekkert annað. Við erum orðin alltof vön fyrirbærum eins og hárri verðbólgu, bankahruni og spillingu innan fjármálastofnana. Þessi fyrirbæri eru samt sem áður langt frá því að vera eðlileg framvinda í heilbrigðu samfélagi; þau eru einfaldlega aukaverkanir þess að peningar okkar eru auðveldlega framleiddir og að hispurslaus framleiðsla þeirra er í höndum þessa „hóps fólks”.

Lífselíxír
Sagan um „lífselíxír” er ekki bara ævintýrasaga. Hún hefur vissulega fengið goðsagnakenndan blæ, en sé inntak sögunnar skoðað þá virðist það beinlínis satt að það sem við notum sem peninga hefur töluverð áhrif á líf okkar, hvort sem er gæði eða lengd þess. Tími okkar hér er það verðmætasta sem við eigum og ekkert okkar veit hversu lengi lífið varir. Sá samnefnari sem oft er settur á milli peninga og tíma er ekki gerður af handahófi; forsenda þess að eignast peninga og eiga fyrir nauðsynjum er, fyrir flest okkar, að finna vinnu og sinna því starfi. Fórnarkostnaðurinn við þetta er tími. Tími sem mörg okkar myndum kjósa að eyða öðruvísi; tími sem mörg okkar telja betur varið í að sinna áhugamálum eða með því fólki sem við elskum.

Þegar það er ekki lengur hægt að spara í peningunum og þegar þessi tætingslegi, meingallaði peningur er notaður sem mælieining á virði, þá er tími okkar og orka hreinlega að fara á mis og ýtir það undir skammtíma hugsun. Óáræðanleiki mælieiningarinnar gerir okkur fyrst og fremst erfitt fyrir að mæla virði tíma okkar og að ákvarða hvernig ætti best að ráðstafa honum; rétt eins og sleitulausar breytingar á lengd tommustokksins myndi gera smiðnum erfitt fyrir í mælingum.

Á sama veg og offramleiðsla á gullinu yrði til þess að gullið missir virði sitt, þá er framleiðsla nútíma alkemista á peningunum einnig að taka virði frá okkur hinum sem eigum þessa peninga. Þetta er það sem verðbólga á að mæla og hún skapast, óneitanlega, þegar magn í umferð er að aukast óhóflega; þegar Seðlabanki og viðskiptabankar skapa inneignir. Þessu er að mörgu leyti hægt að líkja við næturþjófa; þeir koma og taka nokkra hluti, oftast nógu fáa til þess að við tökum ekki eftir því strax, en með tímanum verðum við hinsvegar vör við breytingar; kostnaður við kaffibolla, bíómiða og olíu á bílinn er farið að vega ansi þungt og sé tímaramminn stækkaður enn meir verður ljóst að aurarnir hennar langömmu, fjársjóður hennar, eru orðnir gagnslausir; jafnvel svo mikið að þeir eru teknir úr umferð.

Okkar raunverulegi lífselíxír býr í þeim peningum sem halda virði sínu yfir tíma hvað best og veltur það fyrst og fremst á hversu sjaldgæfir þeir eru; skortur var það sem leyfði gulli að halda virði sínu. Skortur var ástæða þess að Newton eyddi ævi sinni í tilraunir á framleiðslu á þessu efni og skortur er ástæða þess að saga okkar er full af sögum um gullfjársjóði og töfralega framleiðslugetu. Við erum að mörgu leiti eins og sérfræðingar okkar, nútíma hagfræðingarnir, sem eru of nálægt skóginum til að sjá trén; við þurfum einfaldlega að taka nokkur skref aftur á bak og grandskoða þetta fyrirbæri sem við köllum „peninga”. Um leið og við gerum það, þá verður það bersýnilegt hversu óskilvirkt, ósanngjarnt og í alla staði fráleitt þetta fjármálakerfi okkar er.

Handan valdboðsgjaldmiðla
Merkingafræðileg uppfærsla á ferlum innan fjármálakerfis okkar er vonandi til þess gerð að við áttum okkur betur á göllum þess og í leiðinni stjakar hún okkur af stað í leit af betri lausnum. Það sem blasir við mér er hversu mikilvægur eiginleiki „skortur” er fyrir þetta fyrirbæri sem við köllum peninga og þegar framleiðslan er í höndum „hóps fólks”, þá er hvatinn til að nota mátt alkemíu hreinlega of sterkur.

Ef við ímyndum okkur peninga sem byggju yfir fullkomnum skorti, þá myndu þeir gera alla okkar útreikninga auðveldari; þeir myndu gera peningastefnuna fyrirsjáanlega, sem leyfir okkur að hugsa og plana til lengri tíma. Þeir myndu leyfa okkur að spara og ráðstafa takmarkaða tíma okkar betur samhliða því. Peningar sem byggju yfir fullkomnum skorti væru ekki auðveldlega framleiddir; þeir myndu kosta orku eða vinnu í framleiðslu og geta því ekki orðið Alkemistum að bráð.

Svoleiðis peningar væru þannig gerðir að framleiðslan sjálf væri ekki háð vilja „hóps fólks”, heldur væri hún ákveðinn fasti, jafnvel bundin kóða. Svoleiðis peningar geta raunverulega geymt virði þess tíma sem við höfum fórnað fyrir vinnu og hjálpað okkur að skapa svigrúm til að sinna því sem við teljum mikilvægast. Þetta er sú lausn sem við ættum að sækjast eftir; Þetta eru þeir peningar sem við þurfum.

Höfundur er heimspekimenntaður, athugull áhorfandi að fjármálakerfinu og er, eins og margir, að standa í mánaðarlegum greiðslum til Alkemistana.


UK Protests

For years, the government has allowed, in lockstep with big business, the influx of an unsustainable number of migrants to such an extent that they have no idea of the numbers involved. The Office of National Statistics thinks the population will increase by 6.6 million (9.9%) between 2021 and 2036. The British people are proud of the many cultures that make up our nation, but the levels are far beyond what is feasible for a country to assimilate, and our own culture is being lost. The cause of the immigration, as I see it, is a flawed Ponzi scheme economy that needs an ever-increasing (cheap) workforce to pay the debts of the previous generation (and dependents on our state).

We have hotels that are full of migrants, with food provided, an allowance given, and medical and healthcare services provided. Yet, they remove the winter fuel allowance for our older generation, amongst other cuts and unresolved homelessness. We see boatloads of migrants, primarily fighting-age men. We see hotels that are full of fighting-age men. We are told they are fleeing persecution, but where are the women, and why are they not staying to protect their country?

The outcome of these policies affects, for example:

Housing: The government has a target of 1.5 million houses to be built by 2029, yet in 2023-2024 only 143,000 houses were built. Already, houses are everywhere, rammed up together, with people living on top of each other, peering into each other's gardens, and sprawling into our countryside (such as in the small village I live in, which is having 10,000 houses built on its doorstep). With supply and demand, house prices are unaffordable to the next generation (our children).

Healthcare: Our healthcare system can no longer cope. If you want a doctor's appointment, you have to wait weeks or go private. I've been waiting since December last year for an ultrasound scan. They send me texts asking if I still want the appointment and if I don't respond, they cancel it.

Transport: The roads are deteriorating—they are congested and full. From personal experience, I've spent thousands repairing suspension damage from potholes. Similarly, the airports are way past capacity, according to my travel experience.

Crime: Sexual assaults on women have doubled for children aged 13 or over since 2013. Knife crime is also up significantly over that period. Our most recent headline crimes are perceived as caused by a group in our society who do not share our values and culture—that group being (presumably) extremist Muslims.

Yet simultaneously, they inflate the money supply, causing prices to rise and devaluing their citizens' savings. They also increase taxes and provide an education system that indoctrinates our children.

The most recent attack in Southport was by Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, who ran into a dance class of children and stabbed and murdered three young girls aged 7 or so, with others critically injured. The press was slow to clarify who committed the atrocity, which I think exacerbated the situation. Axel is aged 17 and is a child of immigrant parents from Rwanda. I don't think his family are Muslim, by the way.

So, yes, people are angry—very angry—and rightfully so. It takes a lot for the British public to protest. They have been betrayed by a government that doesn't listen to them, does not control immigration, and now labels it as "far-right thuggery." They are not far-right; they are working class (of all colours).

There is a two-tier policing system that lets one group run around with knives and machetes and protects Antifa. Yet when the working class protests, they turn up in riot gear, with dogs, and charge them down, inciting violence. In response, the government declares how they will increase the use of facial recognition and come down hard on anyone involved (including online), but there is no mention of how they will resolve the issues that have caused this outrage.

The most recent protests have been against the hotels profiting from the migrant situation. I hope that innocent people are not harmed and that the anger is directed towards the government that is complicit in causing this, not on our fellow mankind.

That said, I don't have live TV, and I am fortunate to live outside of the large towns where the protests are being held (generally up north, in Labour [left] voting towns, interestingly). I respect others' opinions, as it's difficult to see the whole picture from any one viewpoint. One thing is for sure: if the government continues not to listen and indeed acts against the working class, this won't stop here.

"When I see an actual flesh-and-blood worker in conflict with his natural enemy, the policeman, I do not have to ask myself which side I am on." - George Orwell

Thank you zach. That means a lot. I will keep adding :)


I would like to use nostr as an art archive. This year I found  some oil paintings on canvas wrapped together in a huge roll with tape around it. Some of my father’s paintings from 1986-88. I had never seen them before and want now to keep them in digital form (I had to brush up a few of them digitally first, since my dad didn’t really store his paintings properly).. Guðmundur Thoroddsen was his name. He was born on the 17.09.1952 and he died in on the 25.05.1996 at 44. Some of his works are quite mythical, something I’m trying to understand better. Let me know if you would like to see more of his works and I will try my best to add to this archive. https://image.nostr.build/456994c25dbd283a0b1a5521d5e5187066610dfdc8c91f644f4a47ac71e60d66.jpg https://image.nostr.build/7714d151b94066c9b7521ad797b975314bfc8a0e2b7b0e7d3144fd8658ca600e.jpg https://image.nostr.build/72989d522111f13d2b69e8c1b960002a30ee9485a8348f1272ffcec71ed32963.jpg

When will people actually start getting fed up with this constant trans/woke recreation of Christian imagery, like the last supper... I guess nothing is holy and worthy of minimal respect and decency? I'm not angry, just disappointed in these people. Their tactic seems to be one of vulgar provocation and shock value to incite anger... the art scene is full of this shit as well...sry for the rant, Nostr is the only place I can vent.


What great research! I wonder how they got to that conclusion.

Hello there Doctor. Welcome to nostr.


I recommend these books by Rune Østgård. I was lucky to meet him at Bitcoin Atlantis and talk about inflationary policy back in the viking age, it seems all cultures throughout history will have been tempted to "print" more monetary units.

Harald Hardrada (Haraldr Harðráði) or Harold Hard-ruler,  a viking king who attempted to finance conquest by the way of inflation, as you will read in these books, that didn't end well.

Norwegian kroner is now number 30 on the list of the largest currencies, while #Bitcoin https://image.nostr.build/45f4c8f8a14e8a834831c025a43f9a7e406347f2a97d8e105d952d8c88674129.jpg has climbed to number 13. Chinese yuan is number 1, the US dollar is number 2 and the euro is number 3.

In just a few weeks, Bitcoin has gone from being 3 times as big as the Norwegian krone, to being almost 5 times as big.

If you haven't familiarized yourself with what is happening now with small currencies - that they are being devalued so quickly against bitcoin, which could become the money of the future - then perhaps you should consider whether you should start looking at it soon.

Just listened to you on Preston's podcast. I feel the need to complement you, you are very articulate, clear and understandable. I am now your fan, well done!

Yes. There is usually a catch. "Answer this quick survey" or "give us your email".


It's really hard to get scurvy nowadays 😅 I think you need to want it to get it, idk.


where exactly is the neck pain, does it radiate anywhere? any movement or position make it better/worse? when did it start and was it gradual or sudden? Is there headache or vision problems?... the many comments from people here are probably valid, change of posture or ergonomic setup. Sometimes it helps to have more info , although I get that sharing it on Nostr might not be the right way :) Hope recover soon nostr:nprofile1qqs04xzt6ldm9qhs0ctw0t58kf4z57umjzmjg6jywu0seadwtqqc75sprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucm4wfex2mn59en8j6f0qyfhwumn8ghj7mmxve3ksctfdch8qatz9uq3uamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3dwp6kytnhv4kxcmmjv3jhytnwv46z79z4kue


Meat does indeed have vitamin C, as well as other vitamins.  A good example to remember were the expeditions to  the polar regions, the men got scurvy if they ran out of fresh seal and penguin meat and they recovered once they resumed eating it.


That could be something.

It bothers them probably, but deep down they probably respect you more for having integrity and standing your ground (in a civil way).

Beautiful colours, reminds me of Norway in winter for some reason, I lived there as a child.


Damn that's a good one!


Great book by nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak.  A solid Austrian Economics textbook. * I use the fiat paper as a bookmark 😅

Visiting a village in Malawi that now has electricity because of Gridless and #Bitcoin mining was such an incredible experience.

In Malawi, the median salary is $2.00 per day and in the village we visited, it’s closer to $1.00. Worse, Malawi just had a currency debasement of 44% 3 weeks ago.

It touched my soul to meet and spend time with these amazing people, to see the laughter of the children, and to hear how #Bitcoin is changing their lives.

I would say good luck to anyone who thinks that #Bitcoin can be stopped. Because they are fighting a redistribution of power away from manipulation and exploitation of people back to them and to the free market. https://image.nostr.build/1c21ed5aaf1b8154240b8a71a2637f25581bdc2cd7c5b47c1de3d2bb4d569961.jpg

At work I can only find sharpies in Red, blue, green, black. Highlighters in yellow. I had nothing to do so I made a little sketch. Maybe it will turn into a painting one day.

Last year I was in Brazil, Dores De Campos. Minas Gerais. My girlfriend is Brazilian and this was a much needed visit to see her family. At dinner her cousin described Brazil in the following way: " Brazil is a Ferrari, but the driver is a monkey."

... are there any Brazilians here who have heard this metaphor?


Oh ok. I got it. Thanks!

Pardon my ignorance, but what is the idea behind DVM (Data Vending Machines) ?


The green man being ? .. the one and only invisible green man?


Is Madeira inspiring these ideas?


A little comic about two friends, Molly and Mousington.


I find that new words are popping up all the time, words intended to sugarcoat the proper word. "Deferred assets" is one of them, "Quantitative easing" is another. .. it's hard to keep up 😅

I have thought about this AI imitation agent idea for a while. Who wouldn't want to talk to their ancestors or loved ones who are no longer here? I know I would love to talk to my an AI version of my father who died 27 years ago (I know it's not him, but an imitation).. I get goosebumps thinking about it.


GM nostr. This morning I share a piece from a friend.

Title: Stop Being a Bitch

While orange pilling individuals since before the last cycle I've found that different things are important to different people. I have personally orange pilled many people who had no clue what bitcoin is. But my techniques were for the 'then', but now we are in the 'now'. We shouldn't pretend that the 'now' is the same as the 'then'.

The 'then' refers to a period of time in our past where we had to justify bitcoin. We had to practically plead with people to take the time to understand austrian and keynesian economics, all the properties of sound money, central banks, how governments fund hidden programs, special interest groups, and war. This wasn't easy. In fact, it was very difficult.

Now though, we are entering a new era. We no longer need to justify bitcoins existance. It is here to stay. All over the news institutions are talking about it. Between the ETF's that will soon be approved allowing for $T's to flow into the space, the shitcoin casinos being crushed, the 4th halving cycle coming, global failing currencies creating massive inflation and recession, and death and wars, we can now be on the offensive.

What was once quiet conversation in restaurants is now loud. What were quiet conversations with fear of being labeled 'that' guy is now vocalized conversations letting everyone around me know that I am a good source of knowledge. What is bitcoin? Why bitcoin? What is its value? how do I buy? What wallet should I use? Let's talk. Let's have a meeting. Come to our class.

I've gone from defense to offense. I don't think this is because I've changed, I believe it's because bitcoin has evolved.

What's different about this cycle? We're on the offensive. We're on a mission to fix the world. And as our numbers continue to grow faster than our declining birth rates, we will get louder and louder. As our bags pump, our numbers will grow. As the impoverished watch their neighbors succeed they will ask, "What am I doing wrong," and we will sit down with them and help them understand.

Time to go offensive.

Fuck Shitcoins,
Fuck Fiat,
Fuck Central Banks,
and Fuck anyone who lets themsemselves be brainwashed by the MSM!

Laugh track.. like the one you have in sitcoms?


Well this is illuminating.

"Our analysis suggests that scientific censorship is often driven by scientists, who are motivated by self-protection, benevolence toward peer scholars, and prosocial concerns for the well-being of human social groups."
https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2301642120


Makes sense, scientists have flaws like all humans and unfortunately that can drive them to different forms of censorship. Integrity is important in a scientist I find.


I like the little dance he does at the end 😄 what a legend.


Is that what they call "white dollars" in Argentina? Or am I completely wrong?


I look forward to doing the same in march :)


Maybe I simplified it too much


Pat them dry. Salt n pepper, cooking oil, high heat. Throw in butter. Done. Should look golden brown.


Horrified paprika


It's frustrating to say the least


They always do this.. but now more openly it seems, they smack you in the face but declare to you that they feel sorry about it 😅


My government is going to (temporarily, sure)tax me more for being a homeowner due to likely natural disaster of volcanic eruption in Iceland so the investors that own the insurance company do not “loose” too much money. Corrupt politics, just bleed the people more. Bitcoin will free us


I don't understand the meme. Could you explain?


I look forward to reading your book. Congratulations Avi!


I like the name, Nostur.


Yes. We are dumb.


Trippy spacewalk


Surreal objects and figures.


I wonder why Apple is acting like this. Damus is a good app and the users want it. I hope you succeed in this mission Will.


GM. I also get ripped from standing, unfortunately my job requires me to sit and behave so all my gains have atrophied 🫠


Same here Jeff! I will probably ask a bunch of questions 😁


Þakka þér sömuleiðis BTC Rækja :)


Yes. Íslenska - Icelandic 🥶


I like it 🙂 Very nice.


Nostr - in my language this is a noun "nostur" and a verb "nostra". It means to work on something with great care and attention to detail.

I just wanted to share that with my fellow  nostriches. Keep up the good work. 💜🧡


I get it. I like it, no one can focus a 100% all the time (not even with Ritalin). I've wanted to make pixel art for a while but haven't gotten around to it, this pic just reminded me of that interest.


Is this art of your making nostr:npub138guayty78ch9k42n3uyz5ch3jcaa3u390647hwq0c83m2lypekq6wk36k ?

This podcast episoda was great Jeff. I like when you and knut go into topics such as consciousness and the quantum world.
