Notes by Harry Hodler | export

 If you need Trump to win for Bitcoin. You do not understand Bitcoin.  
 Let's agree we disagree, on everything else, then.  
 Oh yes the nuclear war argument. Starting at the top of your argument list I see? 
 You are posting X links on Nostr, the place where I went to to avoid X. No thanks.  
 You seem to think the problem lays with one party winning over the other. That's a twisted view, deranged from reality. Maybe look for the problem in yourself, rather than in others. Good luck.  
 Everyone is so sure trump is gonna pardon Ross. 

I'll bet up to 5 people, 1M sats each that it d... 
 Wait you mean he's just luring in votes with fake promises??! THAT DOESNT SOUND LIKE YRUMP AT ALL 
 Let's step away from this election news for a while, let's just listen to some musi..... Ah fuck. https://image.nostr.build/9f42858721d4a57358b6e3024d2b8d7dc2a56a806879218bc0ed354c0b3019a9.jpg 
 Got to be honest, I just installed and had no clue what it did for some days. 

But now I get it! This tool is amazing! Highly recommend.

 For all the 'Dont trust, Verify' bro's who are somehow simping on a Trump win; check your ethos. 

Because this man can't be trusted, at all, yet you all seem so eager for him to change things for crypto or even free Ross? 

Yeah, both things are very unlikely.

Don't trust, verify. 
 My nostr:nprofile1qqstdhxam7rxw5586xjwscsdj24fqhp93kzsh7xvjg7nnhc7mlh9aeczqf2t4 contribution didn't go through, not sure why because onchain it was confirmed. 

But they make you download a refund file so did a refund. Worked great!

Contributed again and it worked this time! Sometimes next year I'll show off my nostr:nprofile1qqs9tuz9jpn57djg7nxunhyvuvk69g5zqaxdpvpqt9hwqv7395u9rpgpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz8nhwden5te0dehhxarj94c82c3wwajkcmr0wfjx2u3wdejhgtcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0w2um7e artbook to my friends!

Is it June yet? Can't wait to see the book! 
 Are you suppos to get some kind of conformation after the payment went through? I didn't get anything on mail it seems.  
 Mmm it got 70 confirmations. Will check with Geyser what's up! 
 Mm alright. I messaged nostr:nprofile1qqstdhxam7rxw5586xjwscsdj24fqhp93kzsh7xvjg7nnhc7mlh9aeczqf2t4, we'll find out! 
 Fixed it with a refund (the file they make you download, great feature!) and re-contributed. This one went through! 🤘 
 Feels like this is just a long delay for an major let-down tbh.  
 And once again the whole world is learning the harsh reality about single point of failure.

 No one of their security partners which rolls out updates fucked up. Any device which has done this update can't boot anymore. 

Flights cancelled, hospitals closed down, etc etc. 

Anyone relying on this one security entity is having a expensive realisation. 
 This must have hurt for him, love to see it live!

His fake Bitcoin whitepaper doesnt seem to work anymore either!

 @ODELL seems Signal got a major flaw. You can copy a session and read/write from the copied session without Signal adding another session. Also proven on Linux. https://image.nostr.build/65c9b5ffc5d74999ffeb01fb17d3f570a5054791347ab3de3394264522160fde.jpg 
 🚨🚨 MAC and LINUX Signal app got major security issue 🚨🚨

"The encryption key used to encrypt the local DB that contains all the secrets and chat history is stored in plain text in a location accessible by any app, process or script started by the Mac user."

 After 2 weeks I can safely say Scandinavia in the summer might be the best choice to go off-grid with a solar panel equipped camper. It's never dark and every morning we wake up to a full battery! #norway

 Not online much. Currently roaming Norway with the van. Amazing how easily we can pull off off-grid days with the 2x 400w solar panels on top! Only reason we go to campings is to wash clothes really.

 Hey now don't kill the vibe. He's talking about something that fits their narrative. That's worth forgetting who Trump really is and the fact that pretty much any promise turned out to be a lie, right?

Almost as if it's to good to be true and to just get some votes in.. But that can't be it, RIGHT?! 
 Did not walk out empty handed from @AB_Arnhem, this Nerdminer case fits so well with the new Piggy and Nostr 🥚 🤙

 Anyone else always using Bitcoin Whitepaper when you need to test something with a PDF? 
 Great interview from @Patrick van der Meijde of @AB_Arnhem. Explaining how Arnhem is the Bitcoin Capital off the Netherlands where you can pay with Bitcoin at 60+ shops and services! 🤯 (The interview is in Dutch)

This week we are having a lot of great sattelite events for the big event, tomorrow, Adopting Bitcoin Arnhem!

 Nostros (Android) got a push all (notes) button so I bet with this you van broadcast even more notes instantly. Just to one relay tho, but might be faster with a couple of notes. 



https://m.primal.net/IKiG.png
 
 I currently use Notros mostly to push all my data to my own relay for archive. The relay is not turned on all the time and this just works perfectly! 
 First it's asking me for a email account and now it's asking me for 5 dollar to finish setting up an account. I don't think this is anything like Nostr so no need to compete.

 You are suppos to consume corn? I always buy and hold.  
 From someone outside of the US it always amazes me how this works. Land of the free but only for the rich? Look down on social credit score nation states, but are kinda trapped in a similar system yourself? Feels like a broken system with to much power at the people and institutions with money, to make more money.  
 I sunsetted the domain NostrUniversity.com, did not find the time to bring the idea into life. Its up for the grabs! 
 If you lost the feeling how manifested you are in Bitcoin, and sometimes feel everyone is seeing it the way you do, just read the comments on this reddit post. 

https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/s/AwWjJjXiqJ

These people have no clue what Bitcoin is, tho hate it with a passion. They can't or don't want to understand that the climate change battle is pioneered by the Bitcoin miners. And I doubt they ever will.

 Mixed feelings about high fees when you also mine..  
 Mistakenly openend Twitter again. 

Seems everyone over there is an audio expert now. Thousands of tweets about some recording in stereo, with 1 caller on the left and 1 caller on the right sound. 

There is no more thinking on social media left, just echoing whatever fits their agenda. People who don't even know the difference between mono and stereo are getting thousands of views, likes and replies on their very first tweet about this subject, on accounts less then a week old.

I knew it was bad but holy moly social media really make people more stupid with each tweet.  
 Pumping price, low fee. I like this trend.  
 Just letting you know that 'The Bullish Case For Bitcoin' by Vijay Boyapati would be a nice addition to this list!

https://www.bullishcaseforbitcoin.com/store

 
 Awesome, our bookcases are pretty much the same now! 🤙 
 I almost completed this list and added 'Broken Money' recently:

https://bitcoinwiki.nl/wiki/Studiemateriaal_en_literatuur

It's Dutch but most are in English 🙃 
 Streaming is the new cable TV. Feels like years ago since I've seen refreshing content. YT is just a  advertising platform now. I use it for shirt videos and just refuse to extend this time with +150% unskipable ads. Netflix seems to be milking the same series. I rarely actually want to see something and if I do it's in some weird streaming service. This fracturing of the services and the ridiculous addition of advertising is making me move towards piracy more, like it was back in the days when it felt just pointless to watch a movie with +60 minutes of added commercials added on the cable.

Couldn't understand why people would wanted to see 5 blocks of the same commercials interrupting their movie, can't understand how people keep subscribing to all the services or don't mind watching some 20 second unskipable ad on a 5 minute how-to.

 I'm not sure it's a decline in anything. These people always excited and always will. We just life in a world where they got the tools to reach millions of new-comers who need to get hurt before they will understand. 

With events like this it's always this Satoshi quote which pops up in my mind:

“If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry.”

Maybe I'm part of the problems because I just feel like giving up. Maybe I'm part of the solution for this ignoring persons like Bitboy and hope others will follow. They feed on attention and we keep giving them food.  
 I agree on the Bitcoin part. 'Fix the money fix the world' always seems to be the missing piece of the puzzle.  
 Do noderunners actually run? 
Event not found
 Yeah I think you do it by default? Not sure tho, you actually create a new note (?) so you just broadcast the new one? If so, you should also broadcast the boosted note. 

Broadcasting is very nice for archiving, use it alot. Love that Nostros (Android) got a 'push all' feature so once in a while I boot up my personal relay and just push my history to it.
