If you approach Bitcoin from a materialistic perspective, the rabbit hole is not so deep. A few technicalities, some hope for yourself in the future that you maybe might become rich someday. That's it. But you will still live in this f'ed up world, maybe losing all to taxes or something or die before you can reap. And it's depressingly boring.

If you approach Bitcoin from an Islamic perspective, there is an almost utopian future, full of prosperity and peace for all people, with unprecedented opportunities for civilizational advancement. Exciting, worth exploring.


Listen to  nostr:npub1uzfp6cgwue2njm86cmyeq7m26y0n58w72acq98sjsnnv4c87002s6857h3's interview and learn how Bitcoin fits perfectly into the Islamic economic system.

I was just at the beverage store, wanted to buy a few drinks. I still had some fiat money on my credit card and wanted to pay with it when the damn card reader displayed a "Card not accepted" message. Despite multiple attempts. The same card worked at the same store just recently. And it also worked at the next two stores I went to half an hour later.

I'm so fed up of this f****** fiat system. How could our parents and grandparents let it get this far?

Shittiest shitcoin. Because it claims to be better than the other shitcoins.


You have to accept it, Twitter is over. It had its time, between 2007 and 2015, but now it's over. It was famous for its citizen journalism, but misinformation, algos and outrage culture have ruined it.

The question is not whether you accept it, but when you accept it.


The Rings of Power Season 2 dropped on Prime last night. I’m two episodes in a loving it!

The PJ LORT trilogy was my initial internet culture. Sharing nerd-lore, using elven & hobbit names, fan fiction… It was fun, weird, and reminds me a bit of what Nostr culture is like right now.

The beauty of reading fiction is you get to imagine much of the faerie-world (Tolkien’s lecture - On Fairy Stories - being perhaps the greatest exposition on this) with it becoming an experience of your own. Adaptation, on the other hand, is more editorialized, communalized synthesis of a shared understanding of people's engagements with the story. The former is a fully sovereign experience, the latter a centralized undertaking - very much like the difference between a decentralize protocol and an algorithmic platform or custom AI. Depending on one’s disposition, favorability will incline in either direction and may even fluctuate from time to time. In fact, the ability to freely go back and forth is necessary for development and enhancement - this is how we analyze, test, and innovate.

This freedom of movement and flexibility is something I see attacked a lot lately - and I mean this in both the tech space and the mental arena. We see governments applying pressure on big tech orgs, tech platforms enforcing controls on customers, FUD everywhere so that indie-streamers are more trustworthy than degree-touting journalists. Polarized engagement-farming drives the machine so much that if the troll isn’t being fed, it comes down from the Northern mountains to feast on mutton, dwarves, and hobbits alike. We are much in need of a wizard to cast them all into stone and I’m glad that Nostr has been playing a part in such a spell for me.

Anyhow, this is why I love when a new Tolkien adaptation gets released - my mind gets to ping-pong between the real, dream-world and a new corporate fiction. I can float for a bit in the ether and analyze my fitra with the dream the world is trying to fashion and hopefully balance it with the vision I aim to build.

This is the magic of art and why I believe it will always triumph over science!

Here is how I would start from scratch to have the best private nostr device and experience. Time to level up npub!

Buy an unlocked pixel 7 or higher with cash
Flash with #Graphene OS

Download Tor browser
Download Obtainium
Add Orbot
Add Amber
Add Citrine
Add Amethyst
Add Minibits
Add Zeus
Add Oxchat
Add SimpleX
Add Robosats
Add NewPipe

Select all the apps to run through Orbot

Now set up your nostr profile

nostr:nevent1qqst3quznpsjvh5crsp90z5el4d7vuqv4ectlf8mr2qgxy9thqsd9gspz3mhxw309akx7cmpd35x7um58g6rsd3e9upzpmd5wqn399avtfslyalne52du4xx066ue5sw7rva72d7rp59hvqyqvzqqqqqqyz9jxw2

Turn on Citrine and add it to the outbox relay settings in Amethyst. Add trusted relays as they see everything you do.

nostr:naddr1qq9hyetvv9uj6um9w36hqq3qgcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqxpqqqp65wjvcq4q

To add a zapping wallet open Minibits and get a free LN Address and add a mint. Now paste your LN address into Amethyst in your nostr profile.

Once you have 100k sats open a self custodial LN channel with Zeus Wallet using their LSP.

You now have an anonymous device, running over Tor,  with a nostr signing device on the phone, nostr running thru orbot vpn, with a nostr relay on the phone, with a privacy preserving wallet with no personal info attatched.

For private encrypted DM log into Oxchat using Amber.

You can host your own onion nostr relay and a SimpleX server using a DIY Start9 home setup.

For purchasing No KYC sats use Robosats.

For watching and downloading videos use NewPipe.

Use Freedom Tech to stay private & sovereign!

Machankura is great. Been pushing it since the beginning.


1. First you doubt the right path
2. Then you leave it, saying it's 'free will' that you exercise
3. Then you say, it's ok to leave it
4. Then you turn your point of view into a valid argument
5. Then you start to think, your way is better
6. Then you start defending it
7. Then you cancel or punish people for being on the right path

Point 7 is the state most people are in. You can see it on social media every day. Slippery slope.


Hello !

So if they turn us into batteries, like in the Matrix?


Cool. That's authentic then.


I sometimes wonder if nostriches in real life walk around all day spouting slogans. Imagine you go to the bakery and suddenly shout "Nostr is freedom tech!" Or you get on the subway and suddenly say loudly "Not your keys, not you coins!". Or you sit alone on the toilet and say "taxation is theft!"


I don't know exactly if Aqua provides a Lightning address. But the easiest way is to get the "Wallet Of Satoshi" app. It instantly generates a Lightning address for you (like [randon-name]@walletofsatishi.com) which you then add to your profile.

I'm 36 years old, a father of two, and have been an attorney for 11+ years, but I am still getting over the negative programming in my mind about money, people who have money, and the worldly things those people have.

That's complete nonsense.

Quick setup and designs and loading times.

In WordPress, you have the choice of creating a custom design in your code editor or using the integrated block editor. The block editor is still evolving and can't do everything yet, but that's changing rapidly. Additionally, there is always the CSS editor. If someone wants more control in WYSIWYG mode, they can work in more professional editors, such as the Divi Site Builder.

Moreover, the ecosystem is huge. Bigger than with Hugo. If you just need a quick website for a craftsman business, it can be done in half a day, and it looks good.

The loading speed is only slower compared to a static website because WordPress is completely dynamic. But anyone who understands their craft reasonably well can achieve good loading times even with a website that has more than 14,000 articles from 900 authors, WooCommerce, paywalls, etc., according to every measurement tool (example: https://islamische-zeitung.de/ ).

No third-party connections.

This account has claimed that before, but WordPress does not make requests to third parties. The above-mentioned, well-loaded website does not have a single third-party request. Of course, this has to do with the choice of plugins. If you choose bad themes or plugins, it can happen that Google is fully embedded. And even if it is, there are very simple ways to get rid of such requests.

https://m.primal.net/KRll.png

Updates

This is the first time I've heard that security updates are something bad. WordPress is, of course, widely used and therefore a honeypot. But the update policy is so secure that I have set all my WordPress sites to "automatic updates" (the operator doesn't notice anything) and my sites have not broken even once in several years. So that's just another myth.

WordPress has no bloat unless you make it that way. It's not for nothing that it is the most widely used CMS and can do almost anything, which cannot be said of Hugo.

When I was in my student years, working the worst jobs to finance my studies, my father once asked me, 'Why are you doing this job and not another, more paying one?' I said something like, 'Because of the validation, the appreciation they show me (at work).'

My father just laughed and said, 'Money is the only appreciation from strangers.' He would love Nostr.


Yes, but in the new mentioned industries, it is particularly extreme. I find myself often thinking "what the heck is this good for?"


The inability of most developers in the Nostr/Bitcoin/ePayments space to name their apps and services in a way that almost anyone can understand at first glance is astonishing. It's as if 25 years of development in usability and communication design have passed them by without a trace.


The most common mistake that most people make in online discourse is generalization. The belief that by addressing a specific attribute, one is speaking to a large group of people who are all uniform. For example, "the right-wingers," "the liberals," "the workers," "the Muslims," etc.

This reflects a high degree of inability to recognize the reality of people, namely that there is no such homogeneous mass, but rather many differences within such attributes. Those who argue in such a generalizing manner should be immediately excluded from the discourse, like receiving a red card in a football match.


Ok just help me understand. So the notes would be encrypted in the relays but readable in public?


Encrypt what?

The idea of free, uninterrupted speech has been embedded from the very beginning in the technology of the internet. The precursor to the internet, ARPANET, followed an idea from 1962 of an "Intergalactic Computer Network," which already included almost everything that makes up the modern internet today. Then, in August 1968, the concept of "packet switching" was introduced, which is still the basis of TCP/IP today.

During the same period, the Unix operating system and the underlying programming language C were developed. Unix could be easily ported to different computer architectures using C, which made it a quasi-standard in ARPANET, facilitating the development of communication applications and protocols. It significantly contributed to the emergence of the modern internet in the early 1980s. ARPANET provided a unified way to communicate over long distances, just as is commonplace today.

To this day, a persistent false rumor exists that ARPANET was associated with the creation of a decentralized network resistant to nuclear war. According to statements from ARPA, the goal was rather to find a method to better utilize the limited computing capacities of individual universities through data exchange. ARPANET was later expanded to compensate for network losses, but the main reason was the sensitivity of network connections even without nuclear attacks.

Nevertheless, Stephen Joseph Lukasik, then director of DARPA, made the statement:

“The goal was to exploit new computer technologies to meet the needs of military command and control against nuclear threats [...]”

Thus, the resilience of the internet against external censorship attacks was already built into its foundation. And this is exactly what we still deal with today, except that these attacks no longer come from an external enemy but from our own governments, which want to protect a certain narrative based on lies.

Nostr is another protocol built on top of the modern internet that is designed to withstand these attacks even better. The narrative war we are still fighting today is therefore in good agreement with the tradition of the internet's beginnings.


Agree to the no bridge regardless of anything. Two completely different worlds and mindsets.

"45% of Women Estimated to be Single and Childless by 2030"

It carries a certain irony that the feminist narrative, namely "the liberation from the unnecessary burden of raising a family and being a slave to her husband", comes with another form of enslavement and exploitation that is kept silent. This refers to the exploitation of foreign entities (companies) during the golden years and the subsequent abandonment by this system at the altar of age discrimination. Additionally, there is the exploitation by many men in private life, who obtain cheap sex without commitment, also at the expense of the second half of life, where instead of various men, only cats, red wine, and pills have to suffice.

If this were to happen for ideological reasons (has it already?), I will laugh at you 'freedom tech' slogan-speakers so hard. Sure, you can always replace a relay.

The practice of Riba is a very high time preference activity where all that matters is the destructive short-term gain at the expense of sustainable long-term growth. Zakat, on the other hand, is a very low time preference activity where the giver seeks to attain rewards over the long-term, both in this life and in the hereafter.

Zakat facilitates in advancing the "process of civilization", while Riba seeks to disrupt this process.

In the Islamic tradition, these two practices could not be any more antipodal. Indeed, if zakat can be considered “financial worship” as elucidated by Abul A'la Maududi, then Riba can be rightfully called “financial transgression”.


Citizen journalists on social media should be aware that their reputation and credibility is all they have. Once this capital is tainted, for example by speculation, inadequate research or ideological bias, it's all gone. No matter how much “news” they broadcast, they will only end up on mute lists or they'll have a strange crowd of wierdos still listening to them.

And they'll never recover from that, because the internet doesn't forget.

Their pattern is always the same. Overzealous but inexperienced CEOs at the helm, who are personally impressed by the technology and seem to immediately know how to market it profitably within their small corporate framework, are completely blind to the toxic elements they introduce into the situation through their arrogance and growth greed.

They spew out supposed rules and facts like a money printer does fiat money, ignoring previous natural and innocent developments, and overcompensate for their insignificance by desperately trying to take control. But web laws do not function like market laws for a rare commodity that one does not necessarily want but needs. Here we are dealing with things that one wants but does not necessarily need. These Ferengis usually do not grasp this.

That’s why they quickly claim to be "making the world a better place" with their small, crappy applications, even though the exact opposite occurs. In hindsight, one becomes wiser but repeats the same mistake with the next nice project, stemming from the same intention, without ever analyzing or even understanding their own behavioral patterns.

The history of the web is repeating itself, and we can learn from it that it's best to keep greed out of it and to try to allow the natural, playful development to last as long as possible. When the commercialization of blogs began, influencer culture, Facebook, and Twitter were also quick to jump in, and what disappeared first were freedom, sovereignty, credibility, and the human-to-human experience.

Thoughts on increasing the adoption of Bitcoin:

In my opinion, the way forward with people, especially beginners, it is humbleness, patience, and empathy.

Statements like “have fun staying poor”, “DYOR” (only when it comes from a position of arrogance), “enjoy zee bugs”, and the likes, may have the opposite effect of the intended one.

Bitcoin can be daunting and in most cases, even for technical people, it presents a steep learning curve. Not all people are created equal and fair and genuine questions don’t always mean people are looking for handouts or handholding.

Before I started stacking sats, I had read blogs, listened to podcasts, and read a few books recommended in this space. After months, I had not learnt yet where or how to buy Bitcoin from any of them.

In addition, the little I thought I may knew in that regard was confronted with other information I had heard or read, which made me had doubts of my own knowledge. And I was also scared of asking certain questions to answer those doubts for fear of the responses.

Some people are more risk averse than others, some are more intelligent than others, some more resourceful and capable than others. Questions not always imply someone is lazy, has not done some sort of due dilligence, etc.

Even if that was the case, I would rather help and guide someone if that meant he or she would adopt Bitcoin. The more people adopt it, the more we all win.

By no means I am implying the Bitcoin community is unhelpful or arrogant. Rather far from that. I am only expressing an opinion about some statements. There are nuances, there may be different opinions.

You may agree or disagree and debate is welcome and healthy.

On a final note, I always encourage people to take ownership of their actions and decisions. Islam teaches us radical responsibility for one’s own actions and decisions.

#nostr #bitcoin


Nostr doesn't compete so much with Twitter, FB or other social networks, but more with single-sign-on providers such as Google or Microsoft. Using multiple apps with one verified signin. And have a good payment option at the same time. Only without KYC and annoying middlemen. That's the slogan. Twitter is also trying to go in the direction of an “everything app” because it can't grow with only posting notes; Nostr is competing with this. And it has the potential to replace all the big tech with it.

The social media application stands out at the moment, of course, but it's not for everyone. The ecosystem and the other apps need to be pushed more. There are people who have nothing to do with social media but sell things on eBay all day long. Shopstr is a promising candidate. Or # asknostr for Quora-like platforms. And there are more use cases where identity and payment are central.

You know, I got my first high with a Zap, but my second, no less, high with a small freelance gig via Shopstr. I've never done a job so stress-free, fast and straightforward. More of this please!


I wasn't talking on a startup/company level here. But thanks for the quick judgment.


Sorry to hear that.


"But “competing against everyone” is a losing strategy."

Who says that? New times require new dimensions in competition. There are a lot of devs here, we're all here. It's just a matter of structuring and incentives.

And I think we _have_ a tech problem. No product is fully developed and everyone knows things are buggy. Even with good marketing, we would have a lot of disappointments after onboarding. For example, how do you explain to the masses in a non-technical way that you can't change/delete things? The lack of such a basic function alone will cause a rethink in online behavior and will also cause some regrets.

More spectacular moves

https://m.primal.net/Jzzn.mp4


I have experience running things on localhost.


Btw I never use Google Fonts on the websites I make.

1. I always look for an OFL licensed font on https://www.fontsquirrel.com/.

2. Download it and use their web font generator (https://www.fontsquirrel.com/tools/webfont-generator) to compile the css and WOFF/2 fonts for selfhosting.

3. Then adjust the paths and file names slightly and upload it to the web server.

And now a pro tipp:

Use only a custom font for headings. Leave the body text in the CSS set to default. How does that work?

Simply use the CSS instruction:

body { font-family: sans-serif; }

Or serif, if you like. Then the browser will always choose the OS' default sans serif font on the website. Every OS (Win, Mac OS, Andoid, iOS, Linux etc) has a default sans serif font in it, which is normally a well-designed, readable font.

You have to let go of the idea of always displaying the same font on all systems. It is enough to use the best font on each system.

This saves loading time, is an adequate choice in 95% of cases and all have approximately the same size ratio. So the 16px size of the default Windows font is also about the same size as that of the Mac. Just a little different.

Did you know Google Fonts is installed on approximately 111,579,992 websites, with around 50,103,810 of those currently live?

Did you also know if you visit a site that uses Google Fonts, it automatically collects user:

- IP address: Which identifies your device on the internet (as of 2022, Google stopped storing users' IP addresses, but they still collect this information).

- User agent: Information about your browser and operating system.

- Referer: The URL of the webpage you are visiting.

...and is therefore "out-of-the-box" in violation of GDPR law?

If you are a website visitor:

You can block 3rd party fonts (web fonts) with uBlock Origin.

1. Open uBlock Origin's dashboard.

2. Go to the "My filters" tab.

3. Add the following line to block Google Fonts:

*$font,third-party

4. Click "Apply changes" to save the filter rule.
There is an even stricter option that blocks ALL remote fonts (not just Google Fonts) that you can activate by selecting "Block remote fonts" in the extension's settings.

*Sites that do not display properly can be excluded from the block.

If you are a website owner:

You can protect your visitors' privacy by hosting your own fonts locally (on the same server as your web pages), using basic OS fonts, or checking out Bunny.

If you haven't heard of Bunny CDN, they offer the only fully GDPR-compliant fonts powered by a CDN as a drop-in replacement for Google fonts.

According to Bunny:

"Bunny Fonts is an open-source, privacy-first web font platform designed to put privacy back into the internet.

With a zero-tracking and no-logging policy, Bunny Fonts helps you stay fully GDPR compliant and puts your users' personal data into their own hands."

https://bunny.net/fonts/

As a side note: Bunny CDN also has one of the most transparent, easy-to-read and understand privacy and data policy pages I have ever seen.

Well done Bunny, well done.

Important points are mentioned here. I have already criticized in the past that the "right to be forgotten" with the Nostr protocol is hardly or only very poorly implemented. And I also know the reasons and arguments against it.

But that is precisely where the challenge lies. If you want to boast that you it's a decentralized system, you also have to manage all the basic CRUD operations with it. Otherwise, it all still feels very much like an alpha version.

So no excuses; no matter how hard it is, it has to be done. Especially when you get into the promotional phase and you're pushing it as a serious alternative to fiat social media. Otherwise some, especially newbies, are in for a rude awakening.

Why you leaving (Nostr)? That's completely against the trend ...?


Nostr newbies seem to have cracked the code on how to get a lot of followers as soon as they join Nostr.

The cheat code is:

1. Get an account.
2. Thank and praise popular accounts with a lot of followers for the successful "missionizing."
3. Wait for them to repost you out of vanity.
4. Cash in on a portion of their followers.

The topic of immigration is now appearing in election campaigns everywhere. I remember a book I read in the early 90s called "Agriculture Towards 2000," which predicted back then that there would be a wave of migration in the 2000s from the South to the North.

The reasoning was mainly based on the financial policies of the Western world, particularly that of the USA, which at the time was driving down the prices of its own agricultural products with massive subsidies, thereby destroying the markets of southern countries, mainly in Asia and Africa. Domestic corn, grain, etc., became so cheap that importing from other countries was not worthwhile. All at the expense of the state treasury and, of course, on credit. They probably printed more money to finance that.

And although this book was very scientific and free of ideology, the authors claimed that people, no matter where, have the right to survive and seek their happiness on this planet wherever it may be. That this has always been the case and that modernity would not change that.

This is, of course, a very different narrative from what is being told today, namely that the many wars in those countries are the main triggers. It’s a narrative that is almost forgotten today. It’s interesting how some connections can be lost in just three decades.

Most people think that you bug Bitcoin to get more "money"

Not true at all. You buy Bitcoin to replace your fake currency with real money.


When 1 BTC = $100,000


The nice thing about Bitcoin is that you can shill it from any angle.

Today I had visitors over, 2 old friends who were complaining about the unfavorable exchange rates between fiat currencies abroad. They live in Euroland. When they travel to the USA or the UK, they get their money exchanged at a bad exchange rate. If they want to exchange their remaining money in the foreign currency back into their home currency on their return trip, they get an even worse exchange rate. They lose some when they enter another country and even more when they return.

The solution was simple. Keep your main money in BTC and exchange what you need into the foreign currency abroad and into your home currency at home. Don't change from one fiat currency to another. Always start from Bitcoin. Because Bitcoin prices are relatively similar when buying and selling.

I then also told them about a service/an app that can do this quite easily.

They thought it was a great idea. That's what they want to do now.

Yeah, Google hates adblockers and they're starting to gradually ban the most popular one, 'uBlock Origin'.

There are still workarounds and by-passes, but the direction this is heading is clear. "Clear", just like in "Clear IP Web", where they can identitfy and bombard us with ads at will. They invest a lot of money and work to keep their soon-to-be-absolete business model alive.

This is part of an overall master plan, along with banning VPNs and bypassing streaming ad blockers by injecting ads directly into the streams. While they arrogantly underestimate and ignore the newly emerging free web, of which the Nostr ecosystem is also a part.

Note, that Google is a bigger enemy of the free web than Twitter and Meta can ever be, and they are already further along in their plan. They have already disenfranchised website owners long ago and were the first to pull audience from them before Twitter and Facebook even existed or were significantly big enough. And they did so with dubious, ethical methods. 80% of you were too young when that happened back then, or simply too stupid to notice.

Well, it matters a bit. You spend more corn on things.

Is it over? (Ze dip)

https://m.primal.net/JouT.png


Good. I just wrote something similar a few minutes ago.


Recession is not necessarily a bad thing. It flushes out some unhealthy companies from the market that were not sustainable enough to put something aside for hard times.

Muslims know the story of Yusuf, aleyhissalam, where he received the wahy in a dream to put something aside in seven good years for the following seven bad years.

Every company should have enough capital reserves, ideally in Bitcoin, to survive three tough years at least. Or better more. Not on credit ... real reserves.

This is because new corporate loans and bailouts only lead to more money being printed, the population becomes impoverished by losing purchasing power, wages fall and there is much less consumption. Hyperinflation. So it only helps to achieve the goal (to recover quickly) in the short term, if at all.

But there are very few companies today that have grown so healthily. They operate according to the "low time preference" principle, i.e. quick profit distribution to the board of directors and shareholders. Only few think of iron reserves.

That's why a full grown recession is good from time to time to wash away the mud.


A short-term investment it seems


We buy ze dip and we will be huppy.

Subhanallah reminds me how Allah سُبْحَانَهُۥ وَتَعَالَىٰ tells us people existed before us more advanced but they were destroyed due to them rejecting his signs brought by the Prophets...

 "Do they not contemplate within themselves? Allāh has not created the heavens and the earth and what is between them except in truth and for a specified term. And indeed, many of the people, in the meeting with their Lord, are disbelievers.

Have they not traveled through the earth and observed how was the end of those before them? They were greater than them in power, and they plowed [or excavated] the earth and built it up more than they [i.e., the Makkans] have built it up, and their messengers came to them with clear evidences. And Allāh would not ever have wronged them, but they were wronging themselves."

You know what we still need? One innovation that's still missing?

Zoomable images for the web.

That is the one thing we have not been able to improve significantly since the beginning of the internet.

Images in which you can zoom in at least 2-3 levels without losing quality. That when you zoom in on a face in a crowd, the face is recognizable and not pixelated.

At the same time, the images must not be too large. Don't say "not possible". When the Frauenhofer Institute invented mp3, nobody thought it was possible.

And, of course, we need the appropriate cameras that can produce such images.


Scholars are always the last to come to a new platform. And only if there is a recognizable audience. The first audience are early adopters, laymen, who shout out their unqualified fatwas, which will then trigger the scholars to come and "set things right".

And way after that you'll get to see the MT crowd. Maybe we should talk more about marriage issues and masculinity here? 😀

There's no pioneering spirit in us anymore. I only know of one famous scholar who has turned his back on X, and only half-heartedly at that (his students still maintain his account there). However, he went to Bluesky instead of Nostr, despite some advice on it. And he has actually created a smaller, more private circle in Telegram at the same time.

Bitcoin doesn' have privacy? Bro, it's just a pubkey. It will be as private as you can make it.

Privacy is not a feature you get with your shiny apps. It's something you attain through good opsec.

I can give you the most private phone In the world and you can take a selfie with it and dox yourself in an instant.

Is monero better at privacy? Maybe. But you have to be better with it as well, if not, it doesn't matter.

Everyone needs to be better at privacy. But no one is going to hand it to you and you can easily screw up even if they do. You have to do the hard work and understand it yourself. If you don't do it you're just LARPing.

I've been trying to understand privacy and encryption for some time now, and the best lesson I've learnt is:

Don't trust, Verify.

Looking for paid part time Nostr work.

Because I am unable to fund my own work on my Nostr onboarding client, and because I’d rather be developing for Nostr than any other tech right now, and because I have 25 years of experience in full-stack freelance web development for SMB and academia, I am hoping to find some part time Nostr gig work that can fulfill my funding needs while staying focused on Nostr (in general) full time.

Annoying problem with Primal and  nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm on desktop:

When I want to zap a note, Alby always gives me the default amount of Sats which is set in Primal's zap settings. And I can't change this amount, except I go to Primal's zap settings and change the default amount there. Then I have to return to the note I want to zap and get the new default amount in Alby extension.

But I'd like to be able to determine the zap amount individually per note, without changing this Primal setting each time.

Any solution to this?

السلام عليكم

Hi Misty

I haven’t solved for this either but it is something I've been thinking about along with how we can best develop a bitcoin economy.

Although taxes are not fun or ideal, capital gains is less than income tax so if conversion to fiat is needed it can be strategically done. I also think there are advantages in keeping some UTXOs tracked for spending and others secret for savings.

The system of paying taxes on property you already own seems silly and little different from renting? Purchasing property is a tricky issue and personally I find little benefit in doing so within the USA. International housing market looks more appealing from many angles. It is unfortunate that having a physical address is required to access so many things in the fiat world. I spent a year living in a camper, moving from place-to-place and learned how challenging this can be first hand. With the right local connections it is possible to overcome this! Very likely we will see lots of physical, bitcoin-community locations popping up around the planet over the next decade.

For many who are unbanked bitcoin has already proven to be functional and beneficial, but depending on your jurisdiction some fiat connections may be necessary still for some time. That digital-to-physical energy conversion has to happen somewhere. Many of the Nostr clients are already serving as a kind of second-layer bitcoin bank with the zapping functionality and federated mints. The “be your own bank” trend will likely increase along with adoption. It will continue to be interesting to observe how governments try to control this with banking licenses over the coming years. The stronger bitcoin-communities become the more likely they will be able to project political influence - it seems like we are actively entering this stage.

This diplomatic, late-stage network-state is what concerns me the most, as with all things political they tend to get quickly corrupted. I am reminded that, “Bitcoin simply must be for enemies, or it will never be for friends.” and I look around at the growing Nostr community and am encouraged to see friendly intentions amongst the current majority.

النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى دِينِ خَلِيلِهِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ أَحَدُكُمْ مَنْ يُخَالِلُ


This bad habit of newer speakers to always announce vocally whether they are connected or not. "Bluetooth connected" ... "Bluetooth disconnected" or "Line in" in a sexy female voice (in case of Sony speakers) or with a Chinese accent (JBL).

Water police are on the alert now.


Yes. If you can backup and restore it any time, it's basically the same. Just different environment or technology.


Yes. Aquiring BTC through a P2P market is not the problem. Spending it is.


Bitcoin can't be stopped per se, but the governments that want to will do everything in their power to make it either illegal or extremely difficult to hold, spend, trade, or use.

Currently, financial institutions treat you like a criminal for withdrawing the cash you've already deposited.

The paper trails are already in place to clearly show where you're getting your funds. However, when you finance a house, boom—everything is scrutinized and examined several times before closing and sometimes even up to several years after, depending on how you financed the home.

It was a shock to learn back then that if I had stuffed the money in the mattress and came to deposit it when I was ready to buy a home, the bank would not accept that as valid funds because I wouldn't have been able to provide a paper trail for its source.

This morning, I realized that I'd have to maintain a fiat bank account to purchase groceries or pay a utility bill.

To have a fiat bank account, you must have a physical address.

To maintain a job, pass all electronic screenings without issue, and get money into that fiat bank account, your physical address on the application has to match what's on record at the DMV, government agencies, and credit bureaus, depending on which institution you're working trying to access.

The rent, mortgage, and property taxes must be paid to maintain the physical address.

To be genuinely free, at least in the United States right this second, you almost have to be a homeless vagabond, transacting in Bitcoin only (or other crypto), and be self-employed and unbanked.

Barter, Bitcoin, and gift economy. No permanent physical address. No bank account. No assets.

The extreme tradeoff to this is legal or government authorities threatening you with jail if you don't hand over your secret phrase or having the IRS do all your "missed taxes" for you (much like the Department of Child Support guesstimates how much money they think you should be making at your age with your educational background vs. how much you are) and then the IRS saying that you now owe back taxes into oblivion. They'll use this as justification to seize what they think is yours or, again, still have you imprisoned.

Hmmm. Choices. Choices.

When I solve or accept that problem, I will choose.

90% of Bitcoiners = Hedonists


I have to correct myself, they won't seize all your Bitcoin. They will just tax the shit out of it. That's much easier and can be done with existing infrastructure. Because if you don't comply, you can just go to jail because of tax evasion.

And you can't use it to make fiat purchases (via crypto debit card or something), especially large ones, if you haven't declared it beforehand. They'll ask "where's that money from" and you have to proove a legal source of income for it. Reversal of the presumption of innocence applies to tax matters.

Bad times for anonymous Bitcoin buyers, good luck finding a jurisdiction on earth that is still a long way behind. In the end, every nation will arrive at the same point. Even Africa, even the Arab world ... all of them. Just a matter of time. Maybe not El Salvador.

We have to build a circular Bitcoin economy. There's no other way.

If you just hodl, you're not helping the cause of achieving financial freedom for all. Then you're not really a Bitcoiner, you're just a private investor with a fiat mentality.

Greetings to Michael from me.

Proton is somewhat ok, better than Gmail at least. And their encryption is solid, but that's just for the content. Plus when you pay for their service, they can connect your email accounts to your real name. Metadata (times, dates, recipients etc.) is not encypted. You can also have that level of encryption with any self-hosted email and PGP. Proton just makes PGP easier to use.

Better forget the idea of a secure email service, it's an old flawed service. Use encrypted chat clients instead. I do nothing sensible with email.

But if you have to https://purelymail.com/ seems very good.

Nostr has still not reached the level of debate that Weblogs or Twitter 1.0 once had. Gathering under a note in the replies is not the same as having a real decentralized discussion, at most connected via a hashtag.

I know because I was there back then. Proove me wrong.


Here's the self-deception in management theory. Nothing has really changed from 1.0 to 3.0. "Some are responsible for the whole" still means hierarchies. "Contributing to success" still means "fulfill your job description or you're out," along with the same kind of micromanagement and control as in version 1.0. And the "system" they manage only imposes more brutal and incorruptible (= unchangeable) constraints on the workforce.

Management has only changed its terminology and tries to impose a different perspective on the whole thing. Managers today just try to appear less authoritarian, either because most are afraid of it or have too big egos. And it's more frictionless. They just transfer the authoritarian mechanisms to the "system" they build around the workers, because workers are more likely to accept the immutability and cold reality of a robot than that of a human being. Today's managers play across the board instead of directly.

But no matter which version, it's still hierarchies, authority, control, and exercise of power. Not that this is fundamentally bad, but it won't change in versions 4 and 5 either. You could just as well choose the more honest and direct old school version. Because anyone who has a problem with that but not with Version 3.0 is a hypocrite.

Imam al Ghazali, the great 12th-century theologian, jurist and mystic, differentiates between those who conduct business with justice and those who go beyond that and strive for excellence.

He proposes 6 ways we can sell with ethics and spirituality:

🟣 Don’t praise your product more than it deserves.

This would be misrepresentation and deception. Be honest - although there is no harm in being charming, warm and friendly, that’s part of being good at business.

🟣 Do not conceal any defects in your products

 If you have issues with your product, state them and let your customer know that you are working on fixing it.

“Whenever he displays the best side of the cloth or shows it in a dimly lighted place so that it will appear better (than it is), or displays the better of a pair of shoes or stockings, he is a tyrant and a scoundrel.”

🟣 Do not provide less than what you’ve been paid for

We would do well to apply the phrase “underpromise and overdeliver,” in our businesses.

Imam al Ghazali expands on this:

“It was the custom of the forefathers that when they received, they would accept half a grain less and when they gave, they would give half a grain more.

They would say: “The half-grain is a veil between us and hell,” for they feared they could not measure accurately. And they would say: “The person is a fool who would sell Paradise, with a breadth many times greater than the seven heavens and earth, for half a grain!”

🟣 Taking advantage of people’s lack of knowledge of the market

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ prohibited intercepting caravans before they reach the market.

This practice involves a buyer going out to meet a caravan that is bringing goods to the market, and buying those goods at a lower price by concealing the actual market rates in the city. This is deceptive because the seller in the caravan is unaware of the true value of their goods in the city's market.

🟣 Cancel a transaction if one has second thoughts after buying it

Imam al Ghazali says this isn’t obligatory, but it’s a highly ethical thing to do. In today’s terms, this could be creating adequate time for a refund period. The point here is that if someone feels dissatisfied or uncomfortable with their decision, you should not look the other way.

🟣 Selling to the poor on credit

In other words, if someone can’t afford something, give them time to pay. Don’t demand the payment, especially if they are not well-to-do and with little means.

If the debtor dies, forgive the debt.

Imam al Ghazali said that virtuous entrepreneurs don’t even keep a log of transactions where the poor owe them money, and getting payment from them should be considered a bonus.

Every provider has to without any exception. No company would risk being shut down for your privacy. Only those, who don't know their customer at all (like Mullvad) can't even hand out that data.


I have also always questioned their product development policy. When it was just an email service, ok ... good. Then the calendar came out. Also good. But the calendar had no WebDav capability and you couldn't import your existing Google calendar either. Finally made the whole Proton calendar unusable.

And their Drive could not be attached as a local drive for a long time. I don't know, have these two weaknesses been fixed in the meantime? They've always made the excuse that the security requirements would make such features more difficult. I haven't been a customer there for a long time and hardly use their email anymore.

Then I heard they were moving towards a (Google) Office replacement. Also good. But what's with this sudden switch to a Bitcoin wallet? What does this have to do with a Google Office replacement and who asked for it anyway?

As I said, the product development policy is strange to the point of being suspicious.


This is exactly what bugs me about that news.

1. I pay for Proton with a credit card or another fiat payment provider => they know, which email address belongs to me.

2. I create a wallet with that account. It takes a lot of trust to believe, Proton (and thus also each country requesting information) doesn't know the wallet's address.

They could now connect my identity from the payment to the wallet I created.

I know, email content is encrypted and also the seed phrase is only known to me. But in the past, Proton had to hand out meta information like email address, recipient, time and date etc. to law enforcement.

Now add to that, that the EU is planing to implement a central asset register for every citizen. Switzerland too, by the way.

Or am I missing something here?

In any case, the “advantage” of sending Bitcoin via email to another Proton user is not enough for me to take this risk.

I would somehow prefer a completely anonymous model, like Mullvad, where you can also pay in cash in an envelope or crypto. Or better a wallet that cannot be connected to anything else.

We're excited to announce here that in just a couple days The Beef Initiative and the I Am Texas Slim Foundation is debuting their First-Ever Tomahawk Ribeye Eating Contest! Allow The Beef Initiative and Texas Slim to be your guides on what we call The Great American Cattle Drive.

This cattle drive isn't just any cattle drive. Think Charles Goodnight, Joseph McCoy from the 1880s – but modernized with Bitcoin. Over the years, the beef industry became congested and centralized, resulting in a country that is now a net importer of foreign beef. We’re here to change that. One way we aim to do so is through our collaboration with all of you through the gates of The Beef Initiative and the Cattleman’s Feast.

We invite you to join us in presenting a solution to the multinational corporate stranglehold over our food supply. A solution where verifiably real money meets verifiably local food. It's the Modern-Day Cattleman Way.

There's quite an ass-kissing culture on LinkedIn. Kissing ass of companies. Well, if you have an account there and let it go to waste like me (because of the shitty ass-kissing culture), LinkedIn annoys you with thousands of emails that are supposed to encourage you to join again.

Today I gave in and joined the discussion again.

And found out that it's actually fun if you approach it with the exact opposite mindset and comment on ass-kissing posts.

For example, if someone posts something about how a candidate can prove their worth for a position that a company sets between $80K and $110K/year, then just go in and ask, in what market is the customer setting the price? Especially if it's a rare commodity like skilled labor.

And that with today's inflation we are in a supplier's market and you have to stop sucking up to companies and adopting their narratives and fulfilling their wet dreams.

I'm curious to see how the ass-kissing other members react to this.

Riba is riskless and effortless increase in a commodities price. Like when you lend $10 and want $12 back a year later. Price increases due to supply and demand is not riba as you can't control or determine that increase and therefore bears a risk.

The following is a response to a short video on Twitter where a brother talks about the problems with Islamic Banking:

I think the problem with Islamic Banking is spot on, and analogy of the casino is great. Indeed, Muslims need to find an alternative system, but the two solutions offered don't really solve the Riba problem.

1. Islamic FinTech does not solve this, because it's still using money that's completely entrenched in Riba. Even the money itself can only be created through issuing Riba based loans. Getting a new Islamic FinTech platform cannot solve a monetary problem.

2. Crypto (altcoins) does not solve this, as all it does is recreate the Riba problem. They're all centralized and non-neutral, and they create the incentive to change the monetary protocol to benefit the founders and insiders. No altcoin is secure enough and liquid enough to build a global monetary system. Crypto suffers from the same economic, technical, and ethical problems that fiat has, especially the cryptos that are not proof-of-work.

The two actual solutions to the Riba problem are gold and Bitcoin, which falls outside of crypto.

Bringing back the gold standard has been tried many times by Muslims, see Gold Dinar movement and also Gaddafi, among other attempts. They all failed.

Bitcoin is the only viable solution to the Riba problem as it's actually neutral, permissionless, extremely secure, credibly scarce with an unchanging monetary policy, and based on proof-of-work. Bitcoin is the anti-Riba monetary protocol that has a great chance of replacing the global fiat monetary system and solving the Riba problem.


People will chant "freedom tech ✊" and then run a Substack blog.


Not the best idea to run a Bitcoin-focused account on Nostr. Too much (good) competition. One has to filter now. And platitudes won't get you far anymore. What has good chances, however, are niches. They are not all occupied yet.


Yes know it. Not flexible enough for my requirements.


Guys, you do not need to repost trending posts. We already see their trivial crap in the sidebar, don't need them in our timelines too.


So complicated! (To the build) https://i.nostr.build/dVVUBvej9uKDOrs0.jpg


you think it was his decision?


My business start-up. From software licenses and server costs to the lawyer who drafted the legal texts, everything is paid for in Bitcoin.


And now comes the plot twist. There is no man-made climate change and all universities are talking nonsense when it comes to this. No global warming, no CO2 increase... none of it.


This can happen if you host your website on one of these no-code providers. Self-hosting for sovereignty.

In the meantime, the WordPress no-code editor is getting better and better, so these providers can all die soon.

For us Muslims, Bitcoin was never about saving our money from inflation or getting rich. These are only natural and welcome consequences of the right intentions.

For us it's about success in this life and in the afterlife.

Muslims should live on the Bitcoin standard completely. This happens in small steps, it's a development. But don't stop at and hodling. Hodl to be able to use it as a MoE. Don't hodl to get rich one day. We don't know whether we will live to see another day.

"The recent Crowdstrike event has illuminated the pressing need for robust cybersecurity measures across all sectors, including agriculture and food production. As we navigate an increasingly digital world, the risks of cyberattacks and “bad updates” loom large, threatening the very foundations of our food supply chains. By embracing decentralization and digital sovereignty, we can build resilient systems that are less vulnerable to large-scale cyberattacks."

If you want to run a self-sovereign online store, you usually choose one of two major players: either WooCommerce with WordPress or Shopify. Besides, there are several smaller providers with different strengths and weaknesses. But if you want a full ecosystem and especially want to sell more than just shippable goods (like digital products, renwing subscription products etc.), these two are the best choices.

Most of the time, a pure e-store is not enough; you also want to generate dynamic and static content for legal or SEO reasons. WooCommerce only runs as an add-on to WordPress (CMS) anyway, and Shopify also allows the complete operation as a content site.

Recently, however, I had a mixed case where the client wanted to use WordPress as a content management system and Shopify as a store. This is possible with the ShopWP plugin (https://wpshop.io/), which synchronizes Shopify products into WordPress. Then products are displayed on regular WordPress pages using shortcodes.

You can either just display the products and a click on them leads to the Shopify product detail page, where you then use Shopify's cart and checkout. Or you can handle everything up to the checkout completely in WordPress, so that a product leads to the product detail page within WordPress, can also be added to a cart from there (also within WordPress), and only at checkout does it lead to Shopify, which is pretty cool. This way, you can use Shopify only as a checkout page, with all its payment options and shipping conditions, without having to set this up in WooCommerce yourself, which is sometimes not so trivial.

So if you want such a mixed operation, you should take a closer look at the ShopWP plugin. The support has also always been very decent and prompt so far.


Congrats, interesting client you have there. We were just discussing that WoT feature (latest note on my profile page).


Just tested this theory. I followed  nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc and my score went up 2 points 😀


From the definition:

"WoT (Web Of Trust) is one of the best ways to determine how trustworthy someone might be, based on your social graph.
 In Coracle, this number is equal to how many people you follow that also follow a given person, minus pow(2, log(n)), where n is how many people you follow who have muted this person. This allows you to see at a glance if someone is accepted in your network. This helps reduce spam, impostors, and objectionable content.
 You can set a minimum web of trust score on your content settings page, which will
      automatically mute anyone with a lower score than your threshold."
But, like on Twitter, this leads to clusters around certain groups
 of people, and in combination with the ability to filter out users
below a certain score (which is set to zero by default), it could become
 an effective canceling tool. It's like saying "you're not part of the
core group." This makes it difficult for other bubbles to become visible
 to Coracle users.


It's 12! 😀

This Web of Trust score in Coracle is interesting, but I don't get it tbh. Especially when it goes up and down all the time.

That's how I understand it too. But is there a use case for it? Like "I want to mute all accounts that Misty has muted"?


Very cool service. Bookmarked.

Wow. Which shop system are you using, if I may ask. Shopify?
I was in no way affected by this outage. An online day like any other for me.


Yeah there's always that guy who thinks he's super smart.
It takes less than that to take the conventional banking system out, as we saw today.

CrowdStrike! That's why you Linux.


Trump promises rosy times when he comes to power, but I think he (and his country) will first have to deal with a severe crisis. And he wouldn't even be responsible for it. A government always suffers the consequences of the previous government's mismanagement. It takes 3-4 terms to make a real impact.

But that doesn't really matter to the real rulers, the permanent ones in the background, not the replaceable ones in the foreground. They couldn't care less if the people, who are just there to be exploited, end up in the gutter. As long as the most important long-term plans, like ongoing financial and military support for certain allied states, are secured.

Seeing a website, you designed, in a live stream and noticing a small design bug in tablet view is a pretty compelling type of bug report. 😅
