 Useful comparison! Thanks! 
 Found another nice spot last night. Thanks again @bitcoin.rocks

I didn't realize that I'd need to build a whole back end to properly set up a ZBD paywall, so I'm sharing with y'all just because I'm sick of staring at it right now.

Which of the following paywalls would be most fun for this one? ...or should I just make a bunch of levels like a proper pacman game?

Why didn't I think of this very cool educational resource!? I just found this today (there was a link to it on Barefoot Mining's website, not sure if they made it or not) and had to share. Since I'm posting in the beginner territory, make sure to ask questions if you don't understand what's going on here.

jk, thanks for telling these guys the truth 
 Terrifying!

 Gandalf would be proud!

That being said, you could just use a client that filters out all notes with any mention of the word nostr:

 Content and community is currently missing from nostr. Once there is a diverse range of content a... 
 Yup! Imagine just signing into twitter to do nothing but talk about twitter. I made a client specifically to filter out content on nostr about nostr, but somebody who’s a real programmer could probably do this much better.

 Thanks, lemme know what you think! 
 What's the best #bitcoin wallet to recommend to a noob?

 Mutiny! 
 if you could wave a magic wand to help nostr succeed faster, what would you want to see done? 
 Less nostr content on nostr. I’m working on it:

…and obviously more ugly 90s pizza party vibes… 
 What can we do? I wrote my congressperson about the Samurai arrests and FBI sabre rattling here in the states. I'm trying to warn as many normies as possible too, but just feel like there has to be something bigger we should be doing.

You've heard the O'Jays (Ohio represent!) "For the Love of Money", and you've probably heard Pink Floyd's "Money," but how many stackers have heard ["Money"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cd0KOtgc88M) by Louis Cole? 
 I was just talking with a normie contractor last night about how fiat effects property investors. He resents his landlord clients and tries to focus on home-owners. I just texted him this and got an emphasis response. I think your meme may have solidified his interest in bitcoin.

Happy Halving! 
 Gotta love Fred on this one, as always!

...truth be told, I just want to create a kind 4550 event to mess around with it in the pleblab nostr devs course.

So a couple of months back, I [polled stackers](https://stacker.news/items/441054/r/jasonb) on the nutritional merits of Kraft singles and got resoundingly pessimistic results. I'm trying to eat better and found this Amish-made American cheese yesterday. There's no phosphates, which seemed to be the big critique of the craft stuff and why I actually don't buy it anymore. Thanks @k00b! At the end of the day though, I'm not a chemist.

So the question is, am I doing any better with this stuff?

 Hey! Now here’s somebody that might enjoy this TNG wallet I built.

 I've been making video games that are based on traditional games but with modified rules that demonstrate concepts related to Bitcoin and Austrian economics. I hope that people can share these with friends for fun and to demonstrate various concepts. Here are three of them.

 Hey, I got a bounty out on stacker.news for anybody that has a LOT of free time!

 Any parents out there that want help getting your kids interested in sound money, here's a piggy bank for you! Let me know if you need any help setting one up. Kind of obvious, but like, don't put a lot of money in it.

https://github.com/ttooccooll/PIG

This is a UI for an LNBITS wallet that's meant to look like a piggy bank. Children can track their deposits but don't have the ability to withdrawal. It is meant to function like a physical piggy bank and the parents can always go back to the original LNBITS url and withdrawal when a large enough amount of money has been accumulated to place somewhere more secure. There are a few other fun learning links and various real-time stats for the network.

Grab your admin key from an LNBITS wallet and plug it in your environment variables as the value and REACT_APP_X_API_KEY as the key. Then, take a moment to reflect on the fact that I'm accepting no liability for all the money you're going to lose from using this app. Ruminate on it day and night and go on a fast if you don't feel as if you fully appreciate how silly it would be to put any significant amount of money in here. Then, have teaching your kid about Bitcoin and remember that you and only you are the one who will cover their losses if something goes wonky with this software.

Big thanks to plebdevs.com and their plebdev course, where I learned how to make lightning wallets!

 Hey all! I just finished the second plebdevs course, and it is FIRE!

Here's something I was able to make after finishing the first one. As a testament to the course, I didn't know anything about coding in any language before going into that first course. If you've ever used LNBITS and thought to yourself, "I really just wish this felt like a Star Trek: The Next Generation spaceship console," here's your chance:

 @RabbitHoleRecap 

Hey guys, thanks for all you do in the space! I was just listening to RHR from yesterday and something caught my ear. You mentioned, as you've been consistent with in the past, the idea of altruism as a failed ideal. Later in the podcast you guys both seemed energetic to praise the external injection of capital that initially stimulates these growing circular economies. Am I right that, at least initially, most of these initial injections are usually purely altruistic? I'm thinking specifically about Bitcoin Beach and Bitcoin Ekasi.

Sorry if this is nit-picking. This view of altruism seems like a slight, but potentially soul-sucking difference between what the older Austrians thought (coercive or dependancy-creating altruism-bad, freely giving out of plenty to folks who physically can't bootstrap themselves-good) and what's popular among a lot of modern bitcoiners. I'm just curious if you've thought through the early circular-economy donor situation or if there's something listeners like myself might need clarity on. Thanks! 
 Here's another fun game to share with folks who don't get the whole decentralized thing. ...OK, it's not actually that fun since you're going to win like over 99% of the time, but it makes the point.

 Can someone explain to me the cowboy hat system on stacker.news? I was all excited about my cowboy hat (not knowing what it was) and am devastated that it was whisked away from me just as fast as it had been awarded. Thank you!

Here's my video game take on the "this is fine" meme. 
 Hello world. You can now buy my latest cd direct from me with bitcoin (on-chain or lightning). To the best of my knowledge, I'm the first jazz musician on the planet to offer this option.

 You don’t owe us anything. I feel obliged to share that before sharing this.

I think it might just be helpful to give us more docs in layman’s terms on how public our social elements are. I like it (the social part), but don’t use it yet. I just don’t quite know which of my wallets are still private and which aren’t.

I onboarded a friend to mutiny the other day who I’ll be paying for a product regularly in sats. She hasn’t done kyc and is now in a federation. Her only sats come from my mutiny wallet, which I think I originally funded from some kyc seller when I first learned about bitcoin. Because of that, I can’t speak to how private her sats are, because really I just don’t know. So…I just tell her that she has real bitcoin, but it’s not the highest security level, and it’s not the highest privacy level.

I’m so grateful for what you guys do, but if this is the best guarantee I can find for a recently onboarded bitcoiner…well it’s not ideal. It’s not your responsibility to solve this problem for my friends and community, but I know it’s something you guys value and the social aspect makes it a little harder to discern if mutiny is the best option for this scenario.

After writing this out and thinking for a minute, maybe it might just make sense for somebody to make a list of various wallets and their primary and secondary ideal use cases at any point in their development. Mutiny seems great either way, but you personally write a bunch about the value of privacy, so the social element is just confusing for me as somebody who doesn’t fullyunderstand how that technically plays out. I’m not sure which of my sats I want in my mutiny wallet. 
 On it. Thanks for the heads up!
