Good morning!


shib and doge the past couple days 😂


So good.

Is there any way other than raw?


Exit your Bitcoin/Nostr optimism echo chamber and stop being sheep that listen to a different group of people and say they aren’t sheep.

Step 1. Unfollow influencers that don’t point out flaws with Bitcoin or Nostr or don’t say anything slightly controversial and keep constantly pushing unrealistic optimistic crap


👀 Please. Not my Metamack.

Ok, so I'm super late to this game, but let me post about some of the stuff I host for #nostr. I made a home page for all the stuff I host today. Ill work on cleaning up the page and making it more streamlined as I learn, but this what I can do for now.

What is "sovbit" short for? Sovereign Bitcoiner. Corny but simple and to the point. I'm hosting this stuff because I want to help the network, and I want to ease the tech burden where I can.

What I do is just a drop in the bucket, and I'm still learning. There are lots of other great services out there for relays, zaps and nostr addresses. I don't see myself taking down these services anytime soon, I'm here for the long run. So if you decide to use any of these, thank you in advance and as always you can reach out if there are any issues.

* The home page : https://sovbit.host

* Main paid relay : https://nostr.sovbit.host

* Nostdress server : https://zap.sovbit.host (this will NOT give you a wallet this is simply a server that lets you use your own node or wallet for zaps via my server)

* Nip-05 or Nostr address :  This is on the main page Via a lnbits server I host. I wanted to make a fancy front end for it, but for now an Iframe works. 10 sats if you want a sovbit.host Nip 05

Good morning!


Holster that wallet sir!


I'm not sure about that. Clearly I have a lot to learn!


What I just said doesn't quite add up to me, because I'm wondering why my own node would broadcast a force close if it was in fact the 'bad actor'. I was under the impression that other nodes in the route would force close as a result of my node not 'playing fairly'.

All I know is the only variable out of place here is that LAN firewall rule.


What I learned/surmised yesterday happened in a whirlwind, so the details aren't quite clear to me yet.

> Node fine, no issues
> apply newly learned firewall rules, go to sleep
> wake up, see force close
> panic
> firewall logs show blocked IP's to node while sleep
> nuke firewall rules

The particular network firewall rule was 'Drop invalid state', which I don't fully understand and blindly applied as part of an overall hardening guide.

So, to attempt answering your question given my limited knowledge:

An offline node doesn't seem to cause anything to get stuck, but an online node with broken LAN routing appears to be a real issue.

Perhaps my node appeared as viable in the graph, accepted an htlc, but threw it in the fuckin trash? 🤷♂


I made a critical mistake last night while hardening my home network and inadvertently blocked necessary routing through my node with a dumb firewall rule.  I didn't catch it and htlc's were stuck while I slept. My node broadcasted a force close commitment. 🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂


I didn't think anyone played anymore. I used to run a CS server and played TF2 a lot.

I'm tempted to dig up my steam account if people still play!


Get it bud! 🔥

Welcome to the future of #bitcoin self-custody ❄
https://frostsnap.com/demo.mp4

Frostsnap is a mobile-first hardware wallet 📲

Begin your self-custody journey by plugging Frostsnap devices into your phone and naming them via the Frostsnap app.

Choose a security threshold and begin key generation to easily set up a multisig wallet in a matter of seconds.

In this demo we create a 2-of-3 multisig between the devices. A threshold of two means we need any two of the three devices to sign in order to spend funds from the wallet. ❄🔒

Daisy-chained Frostsnap devices participate in distributed key generation, each contributing entropy to a joint secret shared across multiple devices.

No single device knows the overall secret, only a fragment.

You, the user, can easily verify the key was created securely ✅

After creating a new key, you can hide your Frostsnap devices in different locations or share them among people you trust. 🏘🏝👨⚖

When it comes time to make a bitcoin transaction or sign a Nostr post under your Frostsnap key, you must sign on multiple devices.

Frostsnap is crafting a whole new Bitcoin experience,

And we're fixing the problems of self-custody today:
security, accessibility, cost, and privacy.

Frostsnap is making #bitcoin ownership easy, personalized, and secure.

Stay Frosty ❄

Oops. Cortisol** not cortisone


Good morning by the way 🫂


Sorry to hear that! Sleep has always been a challenge for me.

The most important thing you can do is make sure you get 10-30 minutes of low-angle UV light in your eyes as soon as possible after waking up, and most importantly before 9AM or so (depending on where on the earth you live). It activates a biological clock by signaling cells located in the bottom half of your eyes (convex eyes invert image so the cells at the bottom of the eye need the sunlight from above). The clock tells your body to release cortisone for the day, and then taper off and release serotonin/melatonin about 12-14 hours later. Limit blue light at least one hour before sleep.

Dr. Andrew Huberman changed my life. He's a professor of opthalmology at Stanford and has a podcast where he shares science based tools to optimize all aspects of life.

I credit him with staying sober, implementing all kinds of protocols for health, and most importantly improving sleep.

Search for Huberman Lab podcast.

#asknostr


Good morning! CD115 was great - thank you.


Just want to add that if using m.2 form, it's recommended to use older m.2 SATA with RPi 4 because it generally requires less power than NVMe.  Also the SSD enclosures themselves vary in the amount of power they consume.  Personally, I had intermittent power issues with that silver enclosure in the middle and an NVMe, but it worked when switching to an m.2 SATA.

The USB hub hub barely has enough current to power even just the SATA, so you risk data corruption or power-down due to voltage drop during intense I/O. The increased power available in the RPi 5 hub mostly solves this issue, so using m.2 NVMe seems to be ok (so far).

There are a few expensive PCIe HATs available for RPi 5 now.  More coming soon.


Good morning sir!

Dreaming of Cashu-Pedersen – an Ecash implementation with blinded amounts ("confidential transactions", i.e., Pedersen commitment + Range Proofs).

Properties:
- Mint does not know input and output amounts for an ecash swap
- Mint has only a single pubkey, not one pubkey per amount
- Users store only one single nut, not multiple nuts per amount
- Anon set of all ecash tokens is maximal, not per amount

So many great properties but also hard af to build. We'll get there.

I knew this day would probably come, but didn't expect it so soon.

I am being investigated for running an illegal money transmission business in Canada (nodeless)

Under the advice of my lawyers I need to shut down the main instance of it.

As you guys know I made Nodeless completely open source in the event that this happens, so that others who don't live under communism can run a honest, privacy focused payments business.

To my clients who are using it, I'm very sorry for the short notice but you'll need to find a new payment processing solution this weekend.

DM me on telegram and I will personally walk you through setting up a btcpayserver instance that you can self host, or even your own instance of nodeless.

I can't give much more information than this, not even supposed to say this much, but I owe it to you guys to let you know what's going on.

To install nodeless on your own server, you can get started here:

Recently tried to get tickets to an upcoming show.  It was my first experience with Ticketmaster.  I was in the 'lobby' 15 minutes before the sale and ended up #857 in a queue.  They were sold out by the time I got to the front.  I'm told bots buy up tickets for resale....


Welcome!


Amidst what's going on lately, I thought it might be a good time to remind everyone that nostr:npub155m2k8ml8sqn8w4dhh689vdv0t2twa8dgvkpnzfggxf4wfughjsq2cdcvg supports both PayJoin and CoinJoin.

So if you're running a BTCPay instance, you can:

1. Withdraw Bitcoin from exchanges with PayJoin, obscuring the amount to outside observers.
2. Auto-initiate CoinJoin when certain conditions are met (desired Bitcoin amount and fee market).

Bonus: You can easily run your own coordinator, mixing your Bitcoin without using mainstream services and coordinators.

This could be a great asset for local communities with regular Bitcoin flows (e.g., DCA of members) to boost privacy collectively.

The best part? It takes about 20 minutes to set up. I'm considering creating a video guide - would you watch it if I did?

Firewood cutting and a potluck - it will be great. How about you?


I've implemented a BitStream proof of concept by Robin Linus in Cashu for atomic swaps between files and Lightning payments.

Atomicity is achieved via a "Nutbond" Ecash contract which can be challenged if the downloaded file doesn't decrypt right.

An explainer and demo video is linked below.

How it works:
- Clients requests download
- Server sends encrypted file, Lightning invoice & Nutbond
- Client verifies bond and pays LN invoice
- Client decrypts file with LN preimage
- If decrypt fails, client challenges Nutbond & gets refund

Some notable differences to the original proposal:
- Nutbonds are issued for each user, not per file
- Bond doesn't burn but acts as a refund to user
- No Merkle trees yet. Next logical step. Vibes well with BitTorrent.
- Bond is Ecash. Payment is on LN, could also be Ecash.

This took me a few hours to implement showing how easy it is to experiment with new contracting primitives in Cashu.

Bitcoiners are coming up with beautiful solutions for practical problems. Special thanks to Robin for sharing his cool ideas with us. Love the energy!

I spoke too quickly. Just as with the 7 series, the 5x optical zoom only comes with 8 Pro. Shit. I was able to cancel and reorder.

I guess I'll be adapting to bigger again 🤣🤣🤣

But seriously...that extra optical zoom on my 7 Pro is a game changer.


I went from P7 Pro to Pixel 8. My choice was based on size. They just getting too big for my pants pocket.

I've had every Pixel except #4 and I always adapt to the size. I draw the line here lol.

The hardware differences between the regular and pro were more narrowed this time around, it seems like.

I'm pleased to announce that Mastering Bitcoin (3rd edition), co-authored by @aantonop and myself, has been sent to the printer.  Ebooks should be available around Nov 15th.  Print books should be available by early December.

https://dtrt.org/posts/mb3e-announcement/

New chapters and sections of the book cover schnorr signatures, scriptless multisignatures, MAST, P2C, taproot, tapscript, bech32(m), fee management, scriptless threshold signatures, compact block filters, compact blocks, and more.

Updates in the third edition include the evolution of Bitcoin scripting, terminology updates, RGB and taproot assets, much more backup and recovery info, and complete witness transaction serialization.

Compared to my initial draft, the book has been much improved thanks to comprehensive technical reviews from npub1j5mp526z5fkz9wkrk6mt5nzu43xndyrwkr8mnqngdqwytgcpc5vqcnsd5c Olaoluwa Osuntokun and René Pickhardt.  I can't fully express how much gratitude I have for them.

All of my royalties from Mastering Bitcoin (3rd ed.) will be donated to @bitcoinbrink to support Bitcoin developers.  It's impossible to write about Bitcoin technology without wanting to support the people who build it and then give it to the world for free.

This updated book wouldn't have happened without my editors at O'Reilly: Angela Rufino, Michelle Smith, Kristen Brown, and Clare Laylock.  Their commitment to giving readers the best possible book shines in every one of the over 500 emails we exchanged during the past 10 months.

I also owe a huge thanks to the inimitable Adam Jonas, who did the scariest thing possible to an educational author: introduced me to teachers such as Femi Longe and Dulce Villarreal who will be depending on the book for their classes.  Femi, Dulce: I hope it meets expectations!

Finally, I have to confess that updating the book took more out of me than I expected.  I don't think I could've finished if it hadn't been for the unreserved support and encouragement of my incredible partner.  Thank you, Amanda.  I love you.


Happy White Paper day!

Bruv, innit and fam became regular terms for my wife and I 🤣


Nice feature.

I've been researching NAS solutions and I'm torn between nextcloud and filecloud. I'm attracted to nextcloud because it's open source, but with fileclould I like the features, reputation and multi-platform availability.

Anyone have experience with filecloud or have any advice on the subject?


I would imagine the most frustrating part would be just getting the lug nuts started back on.

Lume v2 - alpha release 🚀

Yo, Lume v2 is ready to testing, you can download here: https://github.com/luminous-devs/lume/releases/tag/v2.0.0

There are many planned features that are not yet ready to be shipped in this build. I am still working on them, and will release new build shortly after. 🔥

I hope the #nostrdesign team can try it out and give me some feedback on the overall UI/UX.

Thank you for using Lume, despite Lume still being far from an "everyday nostr client". However, I will keep working on it.

https://minibits.cash (APK release on GitHub) bundles Tor so you can hide your IP address when using ecash.

Mints should not be able to know who you are or censor based on IP addresses. I hope this becomes the standard! Nostr as a possible transport layer is another very useful option!

Cool!

My Peruvian girlfriend showed me something similar that was used as a filling for alfajores. 😍


Same! I was afraid to ask or mention because I'm such a noob and thought there may be an obvious answer that I was overlooking.

I use Amethyst on Android. Based on bits I've gathered over the past couple of months, I have a feeling that I use too many relays.

Also I still haven't made an effort to read the documentation to understand the relay page, and the various possible settings for individual relays (all the little icons). I just have everything turned on and feel like I've somehow shot myself in the foot 😂


[bitcoin-dev] Proposed BIP for MuSig2 PSBT Fields

Some big news for taprooty PSBTs!

https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2023-October/021988.html

Hi All,

I've written up a BIP draft for MuSig2 PSBT fields. It can be viewed at
https://github.com/achow101/bips/blob/musig2-psbt/bip-musig2-psbt.mediawiki.

This is based on this gist from Sanket:
https://gist.github.com/sanket1729/4b525c6049f4d9e034d27368c49f28a6.
There are a few notable differences:
- The participant pubkeys field is keyed by only the aggregate xonly key
- Participant pubkeys are compressed pubkeys rather than xonly.

Thank you NVK and team! I ordered my first pair of Mk4's and they'll be here tomorrow. I can't wait to fuck around and lock down.


https://nvk.org/alby-lnurlp

Is what you're doing different than what NVK outlines on his guide?


I run Core CLI/electrs/LND CLI on a Pi. I got away with it but I'm convinced the Pi4 may become unreliable with my NVMe drive.

Listen to the last third of the latest Bitcoin.Review pod (BR053). May Hill from Start9 is a guest and I absolutely loved his commentary on this subject. They are doing some awesome stuff over there!!!

I just pre-ordered the Pi5 to upgrade 🤦🤦


After the comments in the episode about RPi's lack of competence as a node (which I agree with), I was motivated to replace my RPi 4 that I set up as my first node a few weeks ago.

What did I do? Upon opening my browser to look for a real server, I was alerted to the coming release of the RPi 5.

I pre-ordered 🤦🤦

Hopefully the increased power to USB bus will eliminate the current issues with power-hungry NVMe storage.

Wishful thinking? I was just trying to save some sats.


It's a *starlink reminder


Spring browser v.0.3.0 adds NsecBunker support.

Finally nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft can try it without worrying about his precious keys 😉

With Spring, you can use NsecBunker with any Nostr app, even when it's not supported by the app itself. Just add your nsecBunker token to Spring and "Login with extension" will be bridged to nsecBunker from apps opened inside Spring.

Full change log:

New:
- NsecBunker support
- Signed event history
- Pinned app settings on long-tap, delete pin button
- Clicks on lightning: links pays from current wallet
- Select/copy of LN invoice shows 'Pay invoice' action in context menu
- Add 'Open in system browser' action
- Add content feed settings
- Add browser tab GC to constrain resources occupied by active tabs
- Show npub and key type on profile screen
- Add 'View replies' action via replies.nostrapps.org

Fixed:
- Bootstrap logic that caused duplication of pinned apps
- Slow swiper for homepage content feeds
- Back button inside tab returns to last active page
- Hanging relay connection by checking conns on resume

Get it on Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nostr.universe
APK: https://github.com/nostrband/nostr-universe/releases/download/v0.3.0/spring-nostr-browser-v0.3.0.apk

Don't forget to check the 'Pre-releases' box in Obtainium.

Let us know what you think!


I used the guide from raspibolt.org to set up electrs with sparrow a few weeks ago. It's my first node. Blockchain took ~4 days and electrs db seemed like it was significantly shorter...I think 18 hours or so.

Even after NVK and the Start9 dev on last Bitcoin.review pod spoke negatively about using RPi for a node, I just pre-ordered the RPi 5 🤦 Hopefully the increased power to USB bus will eliminate *potential issues with NVMe storage 🤞

Some day I'll grow up and get a real server.


Loved this episode! Thank you!


Very cool.  Thank you sir!


Thank you for the reply!

I agree with some of the comments on Will's post. Personally I'm not interested in "read" receipts for DM's, but rather a way to quickly find unread posts in the feed would be nice.

I suppose there could be multiple ways to look at this, meaning there is a difference between a count of unread posts to reference and a feed location in which the user left off.

I think I would be more interested in quickly finding the last location I was at within the feed. Perhaps this is a sloppy/unnecessary function to implement. I'm sort of processing out loud.

I just feel like my only annoyance with Nostr clients in general (not your amazing client in particular) is that I'm constantly spending time to go back and find where I left off reading my feed. It seems that location persists as long as the app stays in memory (Android 13/14) but if I open the client hours later I seem to land in an arbitrary location within the feed, in which posts both below and above are unread.


This would be awesome for Amethyst!

I suppose that'll help me easily make the decision to finally let it go.

ParmanodL is out.

Easy AF #Bitcoin node for Pi4.

It's software that creates a Pi4 image using a desktop computer, and flashes it all in one go. Runs on Mac or Linux.

https://image.nostr.build/15f64b70e224f0e068b7fa151d271af7a2835251ea7dfb4ddcfe545719bd0692.jpg

Copy/Paste SINGLE command
Insert microSD into your Mac/Linux when prompted
Put the microSD into a PI and turn it on.
Double click icon to run (no finding IP addresses or typing SSH required).
Once accessing the Pi, type 'menu'.

I've been feverishly coding, debugging, testing, and drinking max coffee for days, and it's finally ready.

The code is easy to read, so please do.

https://github.com/ArmanTheParman/parmanodl

Some advantages...

You only type 1 command to install.
No Balena etcher or other flashing software required
No pgp verification is required (it's all from written text)
There is one download (official Raspberry Pi OS) which is hashed for the user.

No SSH commands are required - use the icon made on the desktop. Double-click to access the ParmanodL terminal.

Easy starting Parmanode - type "menu"

"Parmanode" is pre-installed on the ParmanodL and the internal drive configuration is done.

Next update, going to make the installation apps with parmanode run automatically on the background. Ie non interactive. Given that it's for a Pi, much less unknowns exist, so I'll go ahead and make all the necessarily choices and have everything installed.

Systemd to run selected parmanode scripts I think will be the cleanest way.


Love this!

Updated my #Bitcoin books list on Nostree: https://nostree.me/tony/bitcoin-books

Now most of the books are available for direct download.

The reason behind this is that people in many corners of the world do not have access to Amazon or even credit cards to purchase the book from the official sources. Meanwhile everyone has access to Bitcoin and will be able to zap the authors for their hard work.

If you've downloaded one of these brilliant books and it turned out to be valuable for you, make sure to support the authors by zapping them on Nostr or sending some sats to their bitcoin address you'll be able to find on their donations page.

I've created a separate list of respected Bitcoin authors with links to their Nostr accounts here: https://nostree.me/tony/bitcoin-authors

If you find any of the lists to be incomplete, feel free to DM me or fork the list and expand it.


A short and excellent book by nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc, available in many languages, for free. Don't miss it!!

Shall we play a game tomorrow?

You could win one of these for as low as 1 sats, no other charges (shipping included).

Which one should we play with?

Please!


Awesome - thank you!


Are there any decent books similar to Mastering Bitcoin in audible form? I love the technical detail and crave more. Plus I'm getting on a long flight and hoping to find something I can listen to.

I'll be starting the flight with the libsec episode of #Bitcoin.Review

Zaps splits coming up!

It took me forever to get this UI right, but it was worth it.

Thanks! Followed.


Maybe some Doug fir sprinkled in too 😉


The white fir and hemlock in your photos narrowed it down. Beautiful shots!


Aye. Many variables to consider, obviously. Personally I only trust gore-tex (or equivalent) if conditions are way below freezing. When I lived in PNW I learned that it will always fail at some point when wet and saturated. Just my opinion 😊


Fire starter, wool base layers, quality sleeping bag/quilt. You got this!


May I ask what do you use instead of Alby?


Dat display tho.

PLEASE share 😍


Ive seen talk about proxmox a lot. Its like docker yeah? Just a container system?


Awesome - thanks for taking the time to explain!


I would appreciate some more elaboration on this, but I don't quite know what question to ask.

I have historically used Cash App for an on-ramp. I recently have been hearing more and more about Robosats (and a handful of others) as a method for no-KYC, p2p acquisition. Perhaps that has nothing to do with what you're suggesting here, but why should I spread across platforms?
Thank you for your time.


Agreed, though I'm handicapped with my dependence on ESRI GIS software. Some day I'll grow up and learn open-sourced geospatial.


Definitely while driving 🥷


Gm!


Grab an app line Gaia GPS or my tool of choice, Avenza. You can download maps for offline use and venture away from cell service.


That would be maps like USGS Quadrangles and USFS National Forest maps. The forest service maps tend to have said 'recreation' data like campgrounds and trailheads. The quad maps will be at smaller scale, like 1:24000), and have more topographical detail that you can use to find peaks, valleys and wet areas.


What part of the world are you in? I grab a recreation map and look for places in my region that are the furthest away from population densities, and have water + elevation.


Certainly understandable 🌞


(Posted on Twitter because it’s more relevant there, but I won’t link to it so you don’t have to experience that place 😂)

The great insanity of our time has been:

The idea that facts cannot be shared or discussed, if they don’t support “the correct conclusion.”

People who want to discuss a major topic or problem honestly, are met with extreme hate and vicious denouncement if the truth or facts they find aren’t perfectly aligned with The Narrative.

• Are deaths and injuries from all weather and climate related issues plummeting and projected to continue? This is “dangerous” and makes you a “denier” and must be censored. Not because it isn’t true, it’s because it questions the “final solution” that has already been decided by the political class.

• Are there 10s of thousands of reports of deaths and extremely serious injury associated with the vaxzein? If you say anything at all other than “safe and effective” or even talk to someone who has been injured, you are a literal murderer of innocent old grandmothers & you’re probably racist too.

• Does a woman have a vagina? This is so profoundly evil that each utterance of it is literal genocide of trans people.
The words literally slice through the air like crazed dementors on the hunt and cut down trans people like word demons, blood flying everywhere. The horrors of such a grammatical tyranny can never be recovered from. It’s instant death to 1000s.

EVERY issue seems to be met with this same stubborn and narcissistic box that is riddled with lies, twisted statistics, & half truths. And it’s being used to excuse the most horrible forms of censorship violations of individual rights.
Step outside of the approved box with even the most utterly basic of facts, and you’re an evil, racist, treasonous conspiracy theorist (or literally any other disgusting label they can conjure)

This does SO much damage to the discussion because not only are people not allowed to hold a sober, nuanced position on anything, but when you hear someone spread blatant lies and then they start screaming like a lunatic when you point it out and call you a murderer - then what remotely intelligent or sensible person would believe absolutely anything that person says again?

It has led to the total breakdown of trust in our institutions that is so bad that people will literally believe *any* crazy story for no other reason than they are certain they are being lied to with the “approved narrative.”

The establishment losing their minds over people believing anything they find on the internet, need to look in the mirror. They have been pouring gasoline on this fire for *years.*

The establishment has made it perfectly clear, over and over again, that truth is subject to any change necessary so that it aligns with “the good guys’ [insert approved conclusion]”

Problem is, as I see it, knowingly lying, censoring the truth, & viciously attacking - even putting people in cages - for speaking the truth, has never been what “the good guys” do.

Hope you have a great day 😁👍🏻


Dirt Forester here. I'm fortunate to take care of the woods I grew up in. Nearing my RPF license soon. It's my life's goal. And 1 BTC.

Is there a way to finely adjust zap amounts on #amethyst?

What’s the best way to Zap if I’m using #Damus?

Recently updated the app, and lost that feature. I’m assuming it’s due to Apple’s policy.


You have landed.

Summer backpacking season is winding down. Looking forward to snow as an excuse to go full degen and build/deploy first #nostr relay, LN and BTC nodes.

Doesn't Cash App already support this?


See you Monday bright and early 🤸

Thank you 😊 I have to admit, I took that photo in August, but it still makes for a good morning when I look at it. It's one of my favorite places to be in the world.

Have a nice day!

Easy now. No need to lash out. The banner on the profile didn't appear to me as one chosen by a 'new' user. Upon further use of the platform, I realized it's a very common banner, and even gave some thought to my initial reaction. Though, I never made the effort to return here and retract. I apologize. Still, you ought not lash out with venom in your words. I hope you have a better day fellow #nostrich


Yessss. Thank you!

The fact that Bitcoin isn't yet accepted everywheree and for everything really underlines for me how few people have actually used Lightning. Whenever I show somebody how it works, there's always that "wow" moment. But why was it a surprise?

The problem is that normal people still understand BTC from the one half-remembered opinion piece they read in 2017, and are operating under the belief that transactions still take an hour to settle, rather than being instantaneous and irreversible — money transmission without the Paypal Problem. The public mind needs a cache refresh.

YES!! Thank you sir. I'm absolutely loving your clients.

I got an odd feeling when I first looked at one of those profiles this morning.


Good work brother!

Installed and preparing a queue for my drive home. Thank you!


Why do I lose all of my follows if I mess with relays in iris? Specifically 'Save Relays Publicly'? It has happened a few times today and I'm not sure what exactly I'm doing to wipe them out.  Thank you for your time.

I aspire to. I'm waiting for summer to be over before going full degen and deploy first node. So jealous.


Ay, better info than the Cap App Status.  Thanks

Please, I would appreciate some suggestions for a mobile podcast app most relevant to the Bitcoin and Nostr environment.

I've been using Google Podcasts for native simplicity, but it won't let me search out specific nostr:npub1hw4zdmnygyvyypgztfxn8aqqmenxtwdf3tuwrd44stjjeckpc37q6zlg0q episodes from nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev that I know exist.

I'm seeing references to fountain.fm and upon a quick glance, it looks to be a solid platform.  Any others?  Thank you for your time.


Mornin - heading to the woods and listening to Guy's Take 070 on the road! Have a good one everybody.
