 #asknostr have you ever encountered counterfeit bills/notes? Counterfiat?

I'm going into the rabbithole of the Secret Service cases. Strangely sentences are very light (under a year).  
 I don't get why people are so excited about the new OpenAI Siri. Original Siri only kept people entertained for 2 weeks at most, then we all forgot about it.  
 I summarize by not reading :)

It's probably good for writing assistance for English learners. Many people wanna sound like a Harvard professor. Not us. 

Claude is pretty good at code cause you can chuck a whole repo into it, but $20/mo and still hallucinates.  
 In a parallel universe, nostr is about rare baseball cards instead of bitcoin. Nothing is different except for words.  
 Are the duckies a store of value or people use them to buy heroin? 
 Will Tesla make an RV (electric tinyhome with vegan leather)? 
 Even if it's like that, I'll still do it. There's not much to invent. Minivan formar instead of retarded pickup.  
 Member when AOL offered a great filesharing library? 
 I missed it. Did it work well and no censorship? 
 I saw a 90s ad for excel. A guy in a suit sums 3 numbers, and his coworker is like "fucking magic, bro" 
 was at IKEA - big haul of stuff to put other stuff into 
 I see IKEA more like Lego for grownups 
 I fell asleep watching WWDC. Any good? 
 It’s funny that pagerank isn’t named after webpages, its named after Larry Page 
 Page got the naming rights in exchange of allowing Brin to bang Marissa Mayer 
 Got my physical results in. Apparently I have really good kidneys (probably because I dont drink)... 
 You have AIDS from Rabble. Don't lie 
 Look up Peter Duesberg 
 Afternoon NOstr 
 How was your vacation? Did you catch any fish? 
 Not as lame as AI generated code 😂 
 It's always like that with open source. The devs are too lazy to provide a list of examples, so you have to read the code

IMO #BTC fixes this

 How? BTC won't kill jews.  
 That's the main pitfall of popular anarchism. No explanation for what happens when the bad state is destroyed. I believe it's already close to being as good as possible for most people. Economy and state are optimizing dissipative structures that have life cycles. We are probably on the cusp of a new order emerging. I don't know if it's gonna be better for me, but I don't care, because it's more fun to adapt to something unexpected. If you're interested in the bigger picture, look at oil, gas, coal. 

I'd prefer a full collapse, but I doubt it will ever get that fun. Most likely everyone would get ever slightly poorer till the world is like that den in Trainspotting. Over the years, I've learned that human societies are quite slow and resilient to change, and tech like AI is still decades away. 

What's the shed for? 
 I'm a millennial. But strangely I was less open to chaos when I was a very young adult. I suppose I'll be back to that if I get into a routine for 20 years. As of now, I like not knowing how things would turn out. I'm a bit of a gambler. 

Are you tired of being squeezed out of existence by the state? The amount of available energy per capita in the world has been shrinking. Governments have to do tricks like inflation to keep the system running. Bitcoiners are mostly right, but they don't understand that 5 years is too long to wait for most people. Saving up for 5 years is accepting being a state slave for too long IMO. The only way out for someone without wealth or connections is bending the rules. I was robbed once, I don't believe in stupid fairy tales like property rights. 😁

You should try going viral on TikTok. That's where music is going. Look at the Man In Finance trend. You will likely hate it, but hey, thats our current culture. Nostr is a bad place for you to have any hope of getting enough money from your passion. Bitcoiners are greeey non-spenders. 

 
 They can literally just fly there and fight.  

The Russians won't really be phased, they already... 
 It's likely that the war is fake. Russia and EU hired some kikes to direct the war.  
 Did they kill the removable battery for planned obsolescence? All the conspiracy theories about always on microphones were wrong? 
 Only Apple slows down old phones. Android should be okay.  
 Well, I suppose Nostr will help the software bloat a little bit. Browsers work okay even on older phones. 4GB of RAM is plenty for most users. And many newer phones have 12 GB these days. They can easily make a phone that lasts for 15 years. 

My stove is fully mechanical. I never bought a smart lightbulb, or IoT anything. I knew it was a hype scam like big data.  
 It's okay. Instead of making 12 GB phones, they'll make AI accelerators to avoid overcapacity. No war in Taiwan will happen because of this.  
 Those holy people should be converted into fertilizer 
 Remember Internet-promoted flashmobs? These days it's some tiktok influencer doing a giveaway. Not the same.  
 Given how ‘free market’ and freedom orientated Americans generally are, what stopped that hap... 
 Free market was never popular. Many groups always called for regulations and censorship. Women during the Prohibition era, christians trying to censor movies, video games, corporations sponsoring propaganda to promote manufactured foodstuffs and cigarettes. 

A small minority of Americans (or any other country) was and is libertarian / austrian economics, but it's kinda lame to be one when you understand you won't win by preaching.

What's the shed for? 
 What's the methodology for measuring the electricity consumption of bitcoin? 
 What's the error range/margin? 300%? 
 How is the error margin calculated? This precision requires knowing the exact hardware.  
 Easy. I don't have friends or political positions 
 Cause it's not about bitcoin price going up. There's 5 people reading any topic that's not bitfaggotry 
 Not that I would but could ppl use this kind of like an only fans account? 
I guess it wouldn’t...

 If you segment races, sexes, and ages by brain size, the brain size will inversely correlate with their obsession with music.  
 Yann LeCun was at the WEF 3 months ago. Flew completely under the radar.  
 This is fascinating. The guy couldn't finish university. Perhaps the test simply doesn't scale above 120 as Warren Buffett suggested?

 The only job LLM hype created was AI safety/ethics. UK gov dropped $100M on this BS? All of them talk about killer robots instead of anything plausible like therapists losing their jobs (those kikes deserve it anyway). 

It's gonna be hard to resist talking to an app about the latest movies, music, politics. Unlike depressed and lonely humans, it's cheerful and nice.  To simple minds, LLMs appear conscious and thoughtful. 

Another possibility is that everyone will play with the new Siri for 3 months, then get bored with it. Old siri only kept people entertained for 2 weeks.  
 Governments should do a halving 

Half the tax, half the expenses, half the regulations  
 Half the population 
 @verita84

Got an LLM to write the code. Need to do a few edits to read the private key from a file, and syslogs will be files too? 
 package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/nbd-wtf/go-nostr"
		
	"io/ioutil"
	"log"
	
)

func main() {
	// Generate a new private key
	sk = "private key"
	// Derive the public key from the private key
	pk, _ := nostr.DerivePublicKey(sk)
	// Encode the private key into NIP-19 format
	nsec, _ := nostr.EncodePrivateKey(sk)
	// Encode the public key into NIP-19 format
	npub, _ := nostr.EncodePublicKey(pk)


	filePath := "path/to/your/file.txt"
	// Read the file into a byte slice
	content, err := ioutil.ReadFile(filePath)
	if err!= nil {
		log.Fatalf("Failed to read file: %v", err)
	}
	// Convert the byte slice to a string
	dmcontent := string(content)

	// Create a new event to represent the DM
	event := &nostr.Event{
		Type: "dm",
		Payload: map[string]interface{}{
			"recipient": npub,
			"content":   dmcontent,
		},
		Timestamp: nostr.Now(),
		Signature: sk.Sign([]byte(fmt.Sprintf("%s %s", nsec, npub))),
	}

	// Publish the event to a relay
	relayURL := "wss://your-relay-url-here"
	err = nostr.Publish(event, relayURL)
	if err!= nil {
		fmt.Println("Error publishing event:", err)
		return
	}

	fmt.Println("Direct message sent successfully!")
}
 
 Fixed a few bugs that the AI made. Replace the private key, file, and relay vars with your stuff, compile with "go build", and it should work 
 No rush. Enjoy.

If it doesn't compile, ask the AI to fix it. Probably about err :=  
 You got the compiler installed? 
 Make a folder like /home/verita84/go/src/nostrlogger then run "go mod init" inside. Then "go build logger.go". It may ask to run go get 

If all is well, it should create a binary file named logger which you can put in your bin folder 
 Oops. Change to sk := 

:= is declaration, = is just assignment 
 Did you run 

go get github.com/nbd-wtf/go-nostr

? 
 import ... go-nostr should define it. 🤔

Let me try to compile it in termux 
 Does this compile? 
 Need to read the code for .Publish() to see how to construct the event struct for DM 
 It's KindEncryptedDirectMessage. This is the struct. nip4.go has encryption functions

ev := nostr.Event{
	PubKey:    pub,
	CreatedAt: nostr.Now(),
	Kind:      KindEncryptedDirectMessage,
	Tags:      nil,
	Content:   need to encrypt this,
}

 
 The darknet bible hasn't been updated in a while. Needs a section about buying #monero 
 It's CAPTCHA. Bad UX. And I don't have any bitcoin. 

It's funny. There is no difference between the bitcoin type of number go up faggot or the monero variety like you. 

If you really wanted to help the monero economy, you'd start selling and buying drugs, but a pussy ass coward nigga like you won't.  
 He can become a martyr, an excuse to kill American kikes and stop sending shekels to Israel.
