Read just the first chapter of John Stuart Mill's "On Liberty" (free via Project Gutenberg etc) and tell me that he didn't have his finger precisely on the pulse — in the 1850s — of the root cause of the authoritarian war for majoritarian supremacy that we're witnessing today. Censorship, the compelled worship of an ever-shifting orthodoxy, the construction and desecration of idols before the temple of consensus— it's all the same thing, arising from the same source, and awaiting a similar solution. In times of trouble, we should look more to our history.

Read your Mill, brothers.

"Discomfort is your compass"

mostly true in my experience so far


who’s gonna be in Hong Kong in May?


*The Rare Sat Lie*

Let's start with some facts.

You cannot own a satoshi (sat). You can only own a utxo, who's value is measured in sats. Just like you cannot own a "kilogram" but you can own something which weights a kilogram.

The idea that a sat can be rare is a lie, since sats don't exist.

A utxo also cannot be sold, because as soon as it is spent, a completely new utxo is created, and the creation of this new utxo makes the previous utxo (which you wanted to sell) spent. To act of spending "an unspent transaction output" (UTXO) transforms it into something fundamentally different, a "spent transaction output" (STXO) and creates a new UTXO.

The idea that a utxo can be sold is a lie, since even utxos cannot be sold.

The idea that a rare sat from a "special" utxo can be bought is thus a double lie.

*Rare Sat Sophistry*

The conmen, the useful idiots and the otherwise honest but contrarian pundits will rationalize the spreading of the "Rare Sat Lie" with sophistry and appeals to libertarian morality such as "it's a free market, people can believe whatever they want and waste their money however they wish".

Of course, this line of reasoning is meant to create strawmen arguments so that every person that is righteously indignated at the spreading of these lies can be painted as being opposed to the concept of individual freedon itself, which immediately places the TruthSeeker's outrage outside of the Overton Window (and subject to ridicule).

Let us dispell the strawman argument.

The "market" (a small niche of degenerate gamblers) can want whatever it wants, yes. But it till cannot change the reality that individual satoshis (sats) do not exist as "things" or virtual objects. This reality is not subjective.

The sophists will also rationalize that "it cannot be stopped" and thus all you can do is "cry harder" (ironic eh?) and that any and all attempts to combat the lies are futile (at best) or stupid.

It may be true all the truthseeker can do is cry and shout, but it is also true that to combat the spreading of such lies is a virtuous and noble pursuit. And it is also true that the direct result of the shouting can be to save a victim from otherwise being conned. Which is, we would all agree I hope, a moral good, if not a moral imperative.

People are free to spread the lie that such things ("rare" "sats") are real, and fraudulently sell utxos of low value presented as "rare" "sats" for utxos of higher value, but to do so by exploiting the ignorance of people and confusion around the complex technology of Bitcoin is evil according to nearly almost moral code that ancient and modern civilizations have produced.

I am the last person that would deny someone the right to be evil. But I believe if you see a fraud and you don't call out the fraud then you too are a fraud.

So, the strawman is really just straw.

*The Rare Sat Con*

Beyond it being morally bad to spread lies generally, the spreading of the lie also occurs within the context of textbook confidence trick.

Confidence tricks involve :

- the mark: the victims whose money is to be acquired fraudulently
- the roper: reels in the mark via exposure and marketing, peaking the curiosity of the mark (i.e. a conference or media organization)
- the inside man: provides a venue for the con to take place, or supplies goods and services used in the context of the scam (a mining pool or a marketplace)
- the conman: gains the confidence of the mark extracts the money (the seller of a rare sat)
- the convincer: an acolyte of the conman which gives a taste of the profits to the mark either by investing in the mark, or showing off his profits to the mark (a fellow rare sat trader)

The conman and the convincer can interchange roles. For example, conmen and convincers can publicly con each other repeatedly and alternatively, with gains and losses which compensate, with the tacit understanding that the goal is really to gain the confidence of a mark from which both convincer and conman can extract money from.

Everyone except benefits in this zero sum game, except obviously the mark.

In the end, the mark was never forced to give up his money. He willingly parted ways with his funds, deceived by the confidence trick.

Selling "rare sats" for utxos of higher sat value is without doubt a confidence trick.

I will let it up to your imagination who you think plays which role in the rare sat con.


howd you like that canted sight?

i’ve been slacking on nostr lately.

what’s good team?


absolutely. we will call for volunteers a bit closer to the event 🙏


testing out Strike Europe we just realized our USD/EUR cross-currency payments are way better than Wise and everyone else.

was a total accident. we haven't even spent time optimizing or taking a closer look. we're initially focused on core functionality like buy/sell/dca/free on-chain payments/core lightning wallet/etc

this is just the outcome of Strike having:

USD/BTC <--> BTC/EUR

we also support SEPA instant in Europe and we'll be turning on RTP payments in the US this month. so soon not only can we do cheap & instant USD <> EUR but then customers can also have the payments instantly cashed out to their bank

Lightning as an open value transfer protocol is insane. it still blows my mind every time. crazy to see it all come together too. exciting

finally got a pretty major local rancher to become obsessed with #Bitcoin over the course of the last year.

whole staff now has btc denominated benefits. all the store locations and online shop will start accepting Bitcoin and putting it in cold storage as the company war chest. Can’t wait to release this announcement y’all are going to love their meat.

how did I do it? I shook their hands when shopping there, asked about their lives and over time invited each of them to grab lunch, or come to jiu jitsu, or go shooting now and then, and casually asked to pay in Bitcoin every week until they started inviting me to lunch specifically to learn about it. Not too pushy, no strings attached.

This is not a venture for me. It’s just love of community and trying being of service locally. Bottom up adoption.


if you like nostr you’re going to love #nostRIGA

#Bitcoin is bottom up, money by choice.

I believe top-down government mandates to accept #Bitcoin will fizzle out in comparison.

Look to El Salvador, vs what has been built by communities in Costa Rica.

In the end it will be ubiquitous.


vitamin d season is back 🌞


I'll offer an optimistic take on both of your concerns:

1. I believe that most nostr clients will implement some form of outbox support. All Primal clients certainly will. We are literally a few days from releasing a major update. Once users’ notes are spread out over hundreds (eventually thousands) of relays, client devs will be incentivized to upgrade their clients accordingly. It will take a bit of time, but that’s okay.

2. Nostr being seeded with bitcoiners is a feature, not a bug. To bootstrap a truly decentralized network, we need the initial group of users who understand decentralization and are willing to fight for it. There is no other way imho. The short term price we are paying is that the content is bitcoin-centric, but that’s fine. That will get sorted out over time as the network grows.

IMO, we need to lower our time preference and be more patient. Everything is moving in the right direction.

We don’t need a successor protocol. Nostr is the one we’ve been looking for.

i think George st pierre does this exactly


みそぎ = misogi

Misogi is a Shinto purifying ritual. It generally involves making the pilgrimage to an icy waterfall. Standing underneath the cold water symbolises intense purification.

The notion around the western idea of misogi is, you do something so hard 1 time a year, that it has an impact on the other 364 days of the year.

“In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot." -Mark Twain

Being a Bitcoiner used to carry a heavy social cost, now it costs nothing to be a Bitcoiner. Larry fink is a Bitcoiner. https://image.nostr.build/a4cac259e8f83d6f80c20f377ecee327c758b78f93548e995eeee6762a6ea399.jpg


looks like full address is displayed in history, but only After you’ve sent tho


would love cash app to integrate tap to reveal full address on both send & receive #Bitcoin

somewhat frightening to not be able to validate the full invoice. yes you can copy paste somewhere when receiving, but afaik on sends it just confirms first & last digits

One of the core tenants of nostr is censorship-resistance.

Is what most of us here rallied around.

If we all use blastr, if we all just use the Damus relay or any of the central hubs, then broken clients will *feel* like they are not broken.

But they are:

if a person is censored by the main relays, broken clients will simply not show you that person any longer.

The “small relay” idea is not against blastr, is not against Damus relay or any central relay hub.

Is to highlight an issue that has been ignored or deprioritized by the vast majority of clients.

We can do better but only if enough people care.

Make nostr decentralized again.

yea be careful out there… dating as a bitcoiner especially


do my best thru my work. in person if a close friend is curious enough to ask questions and do a little of their own research I take them out to lunch.

i feel this man. orange pilling as a concept is pretty cringe/ineffective imo.

some close friends I worked hard to help with this stuff years ago also blew it similarly many times over or laughed me off, and always crawl out of the woodwork when the price pumps or weirdly approach my family.

strategy now is to basically never talk about it irl unless someone close asks for help in good faith and with genuine curiosity. bar to get in irl inner circle only grows with the risks… had 6 figures stolen from me by who I thought was my best friend this past cycle.

finding the tradeoffs for relative success a bit weird. but as an introverted person I think btc helped me focus on bettering myself on this solo expedition. in the end people need to edify themselves


Children will soon use #Bitcoin as their daily preferred currency.

What digital native would choose:
- trusted 3rd party custody
- overdraft fees
- permissioned spending & withdrawals
- pervasive monetary debasement
- deposits as unsecured loans with socialized risk
- 3-5 days for final settlement (arguably never)
- hours of operation limited to work day
- transaction censorship
- predatory taxation
- jurisdictional limitations
- kyc & surveillance "safety measures"
- war dollars backed by coercion https://v.nostr.build/dwkPD.mp4


My entire family woke up in a bad mood today. I put them all in the car and we went for a bushwalk.

Now everyone is much happier after a walk, some sun and fresh air. We talked about our last big holiday to Tasmania and now I'm having the last of the coffee I bought when we were over there. A walk can save your life or at least perk you up.

Missing #nostrasia and FOMOing about #nostriga 🥲


Avethandwa is only 9. But he surfs on his own. Paddles to the backline by himself and catches his own waves. He's independent in the water.

And he's competing in his first surf comp this weekend!!!

Plus he's got a #Bitcoin wallet.

What were you doing when you were 10?

All zaps from this post will go straight to Avethandwa, as a reward for his proof-of-work.

And to motivate him to keep working hard, and surf harder.

x is for posturing, nostr is for people


I'm really excited about this. Blossom is deceivingly simple, which is why it is powerful and why it has a chance of working.

What #nostr got right (and Bitcoin, for that matter) is that duplication is a feature, not a bug. "It takes advantage of the nature of information being easy to spread but hard to stifle," to quote Satoshi. De-duplication is a fools' errand, as it assumes a God's-eye-view. A global state is required to properly understand what to delete and what to keep. The second problem is of course indexing and discovery, which is indeed a hard problem if a global state is to be avoided. It's hard, but solvable. Especially if you already know what you're looking for, and especially especially if you have a common and purple-coloured discoverability layer.

Blossom is basically copying what nostr did for notes and applies it to arbitrary files. Instead of relays handling events, there's simple HTTP servers handling files. Like relays, servers are interchangeable as they share the same interface, encouraging duplication and redundancy. Instead of uploading something to a single server, you might upload it to five different servers. Popular and/or important files will be on many servers, which is how the online world works today already. Files that you need often might even be served by a #blossom server that is geographically close to you, just like we now have local cache relays packaged with some clients (or that you can self-host on your home server).

In the best case, Blossom will organically mirror what YouTube et al's content delivery networks already do well today, which is to provide file hosting that is high in availability and proximity. The neat thing about it all is that you can provide monetary incentives as it is nostr-native, and you get web-of-trust characteristics for free, as you can use only your servers, or those who are trusted by your friends, etc. And in the future, we'll probably have paid servers that whitelist npubs, just like we have paid relays now.

So why is all of that awesome? Well, here's the thing: as the user, you actually don't care where a file is hosted; you just care about the file itself. The current iteration of image (and other) hosts is incredibly stupid. Images are uploaded, downloaded, and re-uploaded without end, often with massive loss-of-quality as the same image is compressed and re-compressed a hundred times. It's always the same image, or at least it *should* be. With Blossom, it actually is.

Gone are the days of finding a thing and uploading again. You just need the hash, and the thing will appear. You could even insert images directly in notes with something like a blossom:ef1c26172f55017c9d9d6afa7cf22605b237b0fe92425e81e3b5e24d46c95448 and each client can choose how (HTTP, torrent, I2P, etc.) and where (public servers, private servers, etc.) to retrieve it from.

But wait, there's more. Remember the monetary incentives we talked about? It is what allows for the emergence of a proverbial "assassination market" for files: you provide the hash, along with a bounty of 21k sats to anyone who can provide the file most readily. Servers could provide cryptographic proof that they have the file, and you could escrow the money until delivery is done and you verify the file on your side. The building blocks are already there, we just need to put them together in the right way.

Blossom is one of the most exciting projects that came out of the first nostr:npub1s0veng2gvfwr62acrxhnqexq76sj6ldg3a5t935jy8e6w3shr5vsnwrmq5 cohort, aka #SEC-01. I'll have more to say about all the other amazing #SovEng projects that came out of the discussions and collaborations we had, but now I'll have to go and upload some files.

To find nostr from Google, you first see nostr.com with a snippet of code. Then you need 3 clicks to find a client. Not the best search experience.

Ecash can just do many more things that lightning (and even custodians) can't do today. It's not just "custody", it's not just a singular thing.

It's fine to not be interested, it's fine if some people don't need it. If that makes people defensive though, that's on them.

Plenty of seeds have been planted which make me extremely hopeful for the future.

the upcoming few days will likely include a wild dissemination of these ideas, concepts and emotions.

We’re all building a better, freer future, and I couldn’t possibly be more excited!

I did my first real-world economically-not-completely-insignificant ecash wallet recover process from a seed phrase with nostr:npub1kvaln6tm0re4d99q9e4ma788wpvnw0jzkz595cljtfgwhldd75xsj9tkzv wallet today and trust me – I really wanted this one to work.

I first exported all tokens I could access in Minibits and put them into a text file, just in case. I then backed up my mint URL list (I had 6 different mints in this wallet), and then wrote down the derivation path counter for each mint (not strictly necessary but just in case the app doesn't figure it out by itself). Then I made sure that I have my seed phrase stored securely and wiped the wallet app from my phone.

I started Minibits again set up a new wallet. I entered the seed phrase, and entered all my mint URLs that I had written down before the restore. Because I'm a power user, my wallet took quite some time to restore and I had to press the button to continue many times (I could give some UX feedback that the dev appreciated and indicated to make this process more seamless and automated in the future).

Eventually all my sats popped back in my wallet and I could use the wallet just like before! 🔥

It's felt a bit like magic. I've spent so much of my time on crafting this seed phrase backup process, implementing testing it a thousand times, writing a spec and discussing it with other devs, but I never had to actually use it because of a real accident. Now, seeing it implemented so well by other developers and actually making ecash so more useful and safe to use is pretty amazing.

Ecash seed phrase restore is currently live or in dev in these wallets: Live: Nutshell, Minibits – Dev: Nutstash, eNuts, Macadamia.

Onward 🥜🫡


wow, I hope it helps, feel better man!

eCash is useful for many things. First of all, the token is the money. Which means you can send money offline, for example, just by sharing a string or QR code (or tapping phones via NFC / Bluetooth / whatever). FediMint has this feature, and it's very useful in certain situations. It's also very private.

You can also use eCash tokens as authentication strings, e.g. to retrieve data from an API or DVM. You can think of it as accessing something and instead of putting a regular password you put an eCash string into the "password" field, so you immediately and directly pay for the request. No account needed. #SovEng people are exploring this as we speak.

but this is abt the devs sir! pls submit a nip for this “friends” bug you have found


not the point but yea we’re seeing that, not just about development,  content curation is an issue, fostering new communities is hard. ux is comparatively rough. engagement generally feels low. we’ll see what happens but I think it’s moving at the right pace and i’m not sweating it


yea I’m not a bread guy. avoid grains altogether. tried incorporating potatoes but doesn’t feel right too heavy.

many considerations for a first-time cordless hole punch owner.

1st: if you don’t practice regularly it’s about as useless as a paper weight. So find out where you can get live reps often & safely in your area.

2nd: go with an expert first, someone who can teach you how to assemble & handle the tool with explicit fundamental safety instructions.

3rd: consider taking some safety courses if you don’t have any experience.

4th: the hole punch market can be pricey, I recommend starting in .22 LR caliber for both rifle & pistole so you can get thousands of rounds under your belt for dirt cheap.

to that end I recommend the glock 44. exact same size as a compact G19, the classic duty hole punch.

.22 rifles are dirt cheap as well and come in endless varieties. Ammo shortages are real, this is probably the most readily available cartridge world-wide.

5th: study the art. watch video. practice.

When you have thousands of reps go try everything and see what you like and feels comfortable in your hands. I like glocks, the 48 slimline is amazing for a concealed 9. But many prefer other makes & models. Comes down to taste and reliability. Too many great rifles to name. Beware, hole punch collecting is hyper addicting!

yea his job made him very understably paranoid, still one of the most intense people I’ve ever met


no one for like 6 months


why would his family and friends be disallowed visitation or any health info for Months? even if he had a stroke it was probably induced by the state


there’s a lot more to it. national security advisor very close to Bukele, championed bitcoin adoption from the inside, he worked to arrest all the gang affiliated and make ELS safe, had a target on his back for that, saw corruption and extortion even under Bukele, tried to blow the whistle and leak it, warn people, disappeared inexplicably, govt says he’s in hospital for months, friends and family not allowed contact, then he died mysteriously.

This is on top of them implimenting third party payments and appstores in such a way that nobody will ever use them. But to find a way to kill PWA’s by using EU regulations pushing for more openness.

Apple rejected the Culture Shock 2024 App Store submission because it thinks it facilitates tipping for digital content (which requires using their in-app purchase system) and also thinks it’s a Lightning wallet app (which can be submitted only by an organization developer account rather than my personal developer account). It does neither of those things. The incompetence is insane.

one way to reduce your expenditures & load up on #Bitcoin is to change your diet

cut out the grocery store, restaurants & seed oils if you're serious about health & savings maxing.

head to your local butcher or ranch. carnivory + one meal a day is insanely cheap & energizing.

most will reject this out of hand without opening their mind to trying it.

it's not easy at first, but I find it well worth it, just for the health benefits alone.

📣 Announcement time! 📣

As you might have guessed (from the photos I keep posting, mostly), I really love the place where I'm fortunate enough to live. It's a small town in northern Italy. We're surrounded by 3000m peaks, Lake Como is a short drive away, and the people are warm, welcoming, and hard-working.

My wife and I moved here 14 years ago with no more expectation than trying to figure out how we could live in the alps to climb and ski right outside our backdoor. Over those 14 years, Valchiavenna has become our home.

For a long time, I've been plotting and scheming about how I could give more back to this community that has given me so much and over the last few months, with the help of many local friends, all the pieces have started to come together.

Bitcoin Chiavenna is aimed at building a stronger Chiavenna using Bitcoin but; more broadly, it's a project focused on exploring how small, often marginalized, rural communities can benefit from adopting Bitcoin.

Chiavenna is the perfect petri dish for experimentation. We have local hydro power generation (run by a local coop). We are a stone's throw from Switzerland, which brings both tourism and shows local government how sane (and very minimal) regulation of digital assets can be beneficial. And, unlike many small towns in Italy, we have a large population of young entrepreneurs who haven't bailed for the big city and have started dozens of local businesses.

My hope is that our education and our learnings will be beneficial for other towns across Europe and North America. Many of whom, facing the death of their traditional industries, are having to find new ways to thrive, and do so without becoming wholly dependent on the central government for handouts.

I grew up in a small town. I live in a small town. I want to see tens of thousands of vibrant, wealthy, interesting, weird small towns across the planet. And I want them all to run on Bitcoin.

If you're with me, I'd love your support. We've just launched a Geyser project to raise funds for the first phase of several projects. We've got some cool rewards listed there, with more coming in the future.

And if anyone is coming through the area, let me know. I'd be happy to show you around and help you leave a few sats behind at local businesses!

Onwards and upwards! 🏔🚀

Hello Nostrians!

Check out the latest piece for Bitcoin Magazine Shinobi about Nostr Wallet Connect potential for sparking a Cambrian explosion of bitcoin apps #nwc

https://bitcoinmagazine.com/technical/nostr-wallet-connect-a-bitcoin-application-collaboration-layer

Some best quotes below 👇

"Standardized mechanism needs to exist for all of different tools to talk to each other. This would allow each application and Lightning wallet developer, to all simply integrate one single protocol that would enable their applications to communicate with each other."

"Nostr Wallet Connect is a protocol making the attempt at being a truly generalized mechanism for fulfilling this need."

"It's based on Nostr’s identity architecture where every event is signed by a cryptographic keypair. This allows an application to generate a Nostr keypair, and from that alone have a cryptographic authentication mechanism to use with an external Bitcoin wallet"

"All of this is coordinated over Nostr, allowing for a very redundant means of communication not dependent on a single centralized messaging mechanism to facilitate the network connection between an application and wallet software or infrastructure running on their home network."

"NWC is useful for far more than simply integrating Lightning into Nostr applications. The entire design philosophy of Nostr itself was centered around keeping it simple enough that the entire protocol could be easily implemented correctly by any developer with minimal time."

"Nostr is the perfect underlying protocol to facilitate that given its incredible simplicity and the redundancy of a large set of relays to utilize. NWC is the perfect example of that being a viable solution. "

Farming is hard af. And trying ro run a profitable business while not being extractive from the land (and yourself) is even harder.

We've been learning over the last three years that diversifying our activities allows the farm to stay financially stable - farming for production, animals, events, rental spaces for tenants and businesses, education, and a marketplace.

Yellow Barn has kind of become a small business incubator. If all the businesses can leverage a shared space, a wide pool of people and skills, mentorship, AND we can all just pay each other, then you're really creating some efficiency and keeping money in a closed-loop system.

My favorite permaculture principle is "stacking functions" (i.e having the compost pickup route a lso be a food delivery route AND having the food waste be pig food, etc). So the metric we most value is "how many times can we get a dollar (soon to be sats) to circulate through the ecosystem before it has to exit?"

Bitcoin Twitter really seems to be dying.

It seems mostly drowning into Main Character Syndrome capture, engagement farming, useful idiots cheerleading grifters, with very short bursts moments of energized grasps for air of really good posts and discussions.

The trend is noise over signal.

It's kinda sad as it had a very good moment, but i guess nothing is for ever.

What is still unclear is a lot of important public discussions need to be had. But they seem to be Balkanizing and going dark. My DMs are full of things that would serve the commons. But people no longer have the patience for Eternal September arguments and socks.

Nostr could become one of the new bitcoin public squares, but we are definitely still far from it. Gotta find the purple pill formula for the bitcoiner nostr derangement syndrome. ✌

Painful Truth:

We need more normal businesses that integrate Bitcoin than Bitcoin businesses that are creating yet another wallet/exchange/mining facility.

The former is what you'd call a traditional business, the latter is a VC funded business, which is largely running on fiat. We don't need more speculative companies that are still trying to find product/market fit that gets them profit. We need more businesses that really provide value.
