I was lucky to visit in the 1990's with my Father. A school friend of his was a volunteer there and we got a behind the scenes tour and I got to operate Colossus.

That was before it was properly open to the public. I got to meet the legendary Tony Sale.

This time, I'll just be a regular punter, I have mixed feelings about going.


BTC is easy, just HODL and number goes up.

Spend, don't sell.


Speaking of Enigma, I'm visiting Bletchley park in a couple of weeks time.


Pizza beer and buddies are the best.

I bet that cost less than 10,000 BTC.

Buddies are priceless


Wow, quite a journey.

Keep winning and keep trusting your instinct.

And yes, I wish my nodes were as strong as you.


Just followed them, I'm in the UK so we have more honey availability here.


I don't know what I'd do if I ever got a perfect node.

I had to look up Type A, it summarised:

Achievement-oriented
Competitive
Fast-paced
Impatient

I would try to regain that status, looks pretty good to me.


I'm risky the snakes in the outback, despite your sage advice.


I don't think it ever did have a chance of going to zero since Pizza Day.

I think Bitcoin layer one is going to be the next RTGS (look it up).

Enjoy the ride.

Also stop shilling, it doesn't go down well here, leave that for Xitter.


Hold on, so you've got 2 out of 3 life skills (strength and good looks) and you seem pretty intelligent too?

I've only got half of one, that's not fair 😂

Seriously though, yes, we all have our own path and challenges, it is the things that we struggle with that often drive us to excel.

Nothing is worth winning if it is won too easily.

Don't look at others, follow your own path, it is always the best way and enjoy what you have or have achieved, chances are it is hard earned and worth celebrating.

Thanks for sharing your story.

I wouldn't worry about the top 1%, they're mostly inherited idiots without a clue.

Bitcoiners are going to become the top 1% before the decade is out, enjoy the journey.


For all skills there are primary and secondary uses.

If you're good looking, then you can use it indirectly to get an interview or by people wanting to be close to you and offering you opportunities.

Same with strength, you don't have to be a fighter, you can project it and make others more inclined to give what you want.

Brains seems to work best indirectly, most child geniuses seem to fail later on, while those that find the intelligence route harder often succeed later in life.

Have 2 of the three attributes helps and not being exceptional in any one category helps as you tend to appreciate what you have and work harder at developing it or its use.

That's my limited thinking on the matter anyway. I'm probably wrong 😂


I loved this when it happened.

I don't think the stupidly named "Intelligence Services" have recovered from it yet.


Ah, yes, we're onboarding TikTok at the moment, but OnlyFans is a closer fit to a NOSTR / Lightning pay as you go service.

We all make use of what skills we have, if you're good looking make money from that, if you're strong make money from that.

I'm trying the brains route, it may work, it may not. The other two aren't options for me.


What's an OF woman?


I feel like a whore, commenting for zaps, is this what we've come to? 😂


Nope, you're fine. Keep going


I'm married, so I live in the Bahamas now.


Sorry, we couldn’t wait.

Spring.site is worth consideration. Appart from the fact i have to add permissions for each individual app which is terrible and way to much hassle for me to bother;
It by far is the best thing to quickly demonstrate the power and added value of NOSTR as a protocol.

NOSTR is not a better Twitter, its a worse Twitter. Perhaps its a worse everything individually; but a better whole all together. Spring.site is a great way to get that point across


I like the vibe and the community


Oooh, let’s talk!

The good thing about it being a bank is your fiat has the bank guarantees, I think 100K EUR and they have extremely high Crypto insurance. You also get a bank account and debit card for spending or sending it.

Until Bitcoin becomes a widely adopted currency, being able to convert Bitcoin to fiat on the fly and back again is going to be important for the next few years.

They also support stablecoins on the Ethereum network, which is another bridging option for the next few years.

I can spend or receive fiat through their debit card or account and I can spend or receive Bitcoin and Stablecoins through the apps wallet.

I can also exchange automatically or manually from fiat, stablecoins or Bitcoin.

I think it's going to be very useful, but I'm not treating it like a crypto exchange, despite it having that capability.


Xapo is a crypto bank in Gibraltar, their app is literally the worst app for onboarding, but if you can get through it, it’s going to be a very important on/off ramp in the future.


SwissBorg was closed off.

I’m still using Xapo, CoinCorner and a couple of others, I’m not using DeFi as the costs are higher, so I use a post acquisition privacy route a bit like CoinJoin

Same with encryption when in 1991 Philip Zimmermann created PGP and distributed it via the Internet.

By the time the government tried to arrest him for treason everybody had strong encryption.


My Brain


I'm trying, but it's hard.


Why nostr:
- You own your identity
- Your speech stands on its own
- You can run your own everything
- You own and control your social graph
- You are free to say and do anything, but you are not free from consequences (non-repudiation of cryptographic signatures)
- You can proof realness via proof-of-work, either directly or indirectly
- Proof-of-work is what allows you to successfully combat bots, spam, and trolls, as it brings real cost to destructive actions
- Ownership and realness allows you to build and curate webs of trust, which allows for canonicality without central authority


Since then it has morphed into a general Italian community and now all kinds of Italian restaurants exist. They have two factors in common, they are all Italian and they are all good, because bad restaurants don't survive in a high quality area.


Agreed, I first witnessed this in real life in my 20’s.

A pizza chain restaurant was gradually fading into obscurity until a competitor opened up next door. Most business went to the new kid, but some flowed to the old business reviving its fortunes allowing it to gradually recover. Then another pizza chain restaurant opened down the road and the area became known as Pizza central and attracted a lot of attention.

It is today, 25 years later, the unofficial Italian quarter of the town and is thriving.


I have been able to convince exactly 0 people to use #Signal after they dropped SMS support.

Most of the people I convinced to use it only used it mostly with me. BUT, the selling point was that they could just set it as the default (better) SMS app and not just have another fucking messaging app just for me.

About 90% of MY communication used to be encrypted on Signal, even if theirs wasn't (it didn't matter to them).

Now? All of them are back to sending me SMS. This erased about two years of work I put into converting people.

So great, Signal is now more secure. Except no one in my life uses it with me anymore. Where exactly is the benefit we were supposed to see?

This is an old topic at this point, but just wanted to call out the fact that what many of us predicted is now a reality.

The interesting thing is that overlapping people in my network (friends, family, etc) were starting to use encryption incidentally without even knowing it.

A network effect that took a lot of work was completely destroyed by one decision.

Signal is dead in my life now and it's truly sad. I'm putting an end to my fruitless attempts to convert people. Sad.

The whole wallet refuses to go past the loading screen. I had it setup years ago with 2 of my nodes via a VPN, but they changed the way it worked and I didn't bother touching it until now.

Thanks, I'm more looking at iOS wallets. I have the back end sorted already.


Just seen, it's an Umbrel backend partitioner. What do  you use as a front end, or do you use it from the web?


Is that an Android app, can't find it on the iOS store?


Thanks fren, haven't tried lnbits yet


Yes we do. All the time.

We have nothing better to talk about.


Thanks for the feedback,

Yet you regularly see $100M's - $1B+ of Bitcoin transfer on the base layer for a few pennies to a couple of dollars in fees.

Fix the money, fix the world.


Before Bitcoin I was an investor. I invested in tech startups.

At the peak of the bottom, when interest rates were affectively 0%, I was offered to be paid to borrow money to invest.

That's right, I could have been paid money to borrow money.

That's fucked up!

Hi Elon,

We're already spoken, as CSO (Chief Shitpost Officer), I am fully authorised to conduct negotiations.

Can you please provide proof of identity and a proof of source of funds (fiat shitcoins are not acceptable forms of currency).

Once we confirm you have the $150T of Bitcoin needed for the purchase, we will agree to sell you the NOSTR  platform, which you can use non-exclusively for a period of up to 7 years from date of purchase.

As for the NOSTR protocol and clients they are available for purchase individually and subject to individual agreements and contracts with the relevant interested parties.

Best Regards

You should ask Chubb or Yale.


Or setup your own relay.

If you're an existing node runner, then your OS of choice  nostr:npub1aghreq2dpz3h3799hrawev5gf5zc2kt4ch9ykhp9utt0jd3gdu2qtlmhct or  nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll for example, have private relays already available.

Or for around $5 a month you can setup a relay on the clear net, this is a good example of how to do this:

Today feels like a nothing burger day!


Also your take isn't very helpful, you're giving me an unreasoned objectification on my opinion at the start of your argument and giving me churlish advice about laxatives at the end.

Giving well thought out opinions and allowing others to make their own decisions without attempting to belittle or coerce the other person is a much better method of argument and allows reasoned discussion.

You make some good, valid points within your argument, but taint them at either side.


I agree he does explain things well and I do watch his videos, but as you explained it's only 25 minutes.

But it could be 15 minutes and I could spend that time saved more productively.

It's the same reason I stopped watching TV years ago, my time isn't for sale to watch adverts or for them to setup cliff hangers telling me what's going to happen in the next program what's about to happen in this program.

It is deliberately designed to absorb your time unproductively.

If Hemingway was around today and a Bitcoiner he would addendum that with:

The prime factor, I believe, as to why the Cantillon effect doesn't apply here is because, as you pointed out, the money is scarce and finite and reduces with time. Therefore as the money moves down the system it does not get diluted, but in fact increases in value.


Do you know what I like most about #NOSTR ?

You're right and I'm wrong, but you didn't chew me out or tell me I'm a luddard, or try to make me feel small, you gave me a well explained reason why you think I'm wrong.

The Blocksize Wars Book by Jonathan Bier
https://a.co/d/7QZgOZP

was one of my favourite books of the last year.

I want to understand the other sides view, so I have pre-ordered Roger Ver's book, Hijacking Bitcoin: The Hidden History of BTC
https://a.co/d/0X1ZZmT

Always understand both sides, because almost always both sides are right.


Come the halving, we’re all getting flying cars:

Just paid a speeding fine online.

I've done this before in my life and been annoyed.

This time round was different. I felt pity for the poor normies that have to go round blackmailing other normies for tiny amounts of their fiat so they can survive in a deeply pointless existence.

#Bitcoin changes you in so many ways, you have no idea when you set out of the journey.

NGU (Number Go Up) is every bitcoiners entry to self sovereignty. Awakening is the part of the journey I'm at.

I guess the journey is long because the road is infinite.


Agreed


Thanks for sharing, love seeing photos of Malta.

It may be our new home in a couple of years time 😄


Come the #halving we’re all getting private jets!

My wife has been perfecting a fermented drink made with pineapple skin over the last year. This time using the skin of a ripe (all yellow) pineapple rather than a more green one as she has usually done. Ginger, turmeric, cardamon, cloves, cinnamon stick, black pepper, jaggery and black sugar. Fermented for 5 days in the warm weather and then filter solids out and leave to continue for 2 days in a fridge. I think it's called Tepache in LatAm. 🍹https://m.primal.net/Hlok.png


Well, it's not true that data is never removed. Relays are free to prune data (delete) if they wish and some do exactly for space saving.

We will likely see paid relays, where users get something in return (forever storage of data, storage of larger forms of data - video, etc)

A company could even run a lot of relays and provide a service similar to social media companies now. The difference is that they can't completely remove you from the network, just their own nodes. You could run your own relay for your content or simply move to a competitor without starting from scratch if your content still exists on other relays.

It's a misconception that you can't be censored or deleted. A client or relay absolutely can black hole you. The truth is that they just can't black hole you from the protocol, since anyone can run a relay.


Also every time 😂


Any Bitcoiners visiting Thailand/Bangkok any time soon? 👀

We'd love to welcome anyone planning a trip to BKK soon

Our space and meetups offer a stage where Buidlers n power users can gather, exchange feedback and cultivate synergies that strengthen the resilience and robustness of the BTC network, both online and offline

Wow 🤩

I can’t even remember my own mobile number 😂


The nostr community are building a TikTok style client to accommodate our friends on that platform.

The most important discussion here is to decide on its name 🤣

Please feel free to add your suggestions


Welcome


Hello Nostr, I'm making this post because I'm going to ask for your help. I'm trying to #grownostr and I'm trying to onboard friends who really need to build a circular economy.  Here's the story.

I made a connection several years ago through EverGreenCoin with someone who lives in the Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya. His name is Jules and he is a refuge from the wars in the Congo, and when he arrived in Kakuma he was one of those people who saw needs and tried to fill them. He's an entrepreneur at heart. One of us.

He is a teacher of young children, he teaches music (guitar) to youth, he farms fish and he along with his friends have put together a large garden to grow food for his community.  He has big dreams, and his only limitation is the economic foundation that he is struggling with.  He started several organizations recognized by the UN, including Vision Art & Music for Youth and his latest venture is Strong Unity for Refugee Empowerment.

The nature of his economic foundation is donations.  Along with so many of the people living in the camps, asking for money from the outside world is how they have raised funds in the fiat economy, and that has been true for decades. The Kakuma Refugee Camp is one of the largest, but there are dozens of these camps all over the world. The UN never has enough money to take care of the needs, and the lack of infrastructure keeps them nearly at subsistence level for quality of life.

I am absolutely convinced that Bitcoin can change this. And I am absolutely convinced that the lightning network and nostr can help push that change.  So I need your help.

Because of the communications infrastructure, he is paying ~$50 USD per month for internet access, limited bandwidth that he maximizes every day. He was just today able to download Primal, but he is a bit worried that following the default set of npubs will blow through his bandwidth. So I'm recommending that he not follow anyone yet, just use the Messages section and the Wallet.   nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr tells me that the Primal team is focused on optimizing the network traffic in Primal which should help with the bandwidth issues.

The next step is going to be getting him access to zaps and sats in money that he can use, which means he will also need to download the  nostr:npub1ex7mdykw786qxvmtuls208uyxmn0hse95rfwsarvfde5yg6wy7jq6qvyt9 app and connect it to a bank account.  As soon as he does, we will be off to the races.

So what help do I need?  Zaps is something easy, and every sat zapped onto this post or other post I make for Jules will go directly to him.  As soon as I get his npub address I will provide it so that the zaps can go directly to him instead of through a middle man, because everyone hates middle men.

But more than that, I need a guide for him to download and use that will teach him and his community how to build a circular economy.  Maybe this is something that we could put together on Wikifreedia from  nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft.  It could even be translated into multiple languages.

This weekend, I am hoping to be able to chat with Jules directly on Primal, and I'll let you know how it goes.  Please zap this, share this, and spread the word. We're going to build these circular economies, and our zaps will BLOCK OUT THE SUN!


If he’s still alive, then moving his BTC would be observed by the world in real time.

Don’t forget that Bitcoin is a threat to central government currencies.

If he is identified, he could become another Snowden or Assange.

I suspect he is doing financially very well from Bitcoin and is better off being modestly wealthy and anonymous than being extremely wealthy and hunted.


You might be stretching the realm of possibilities with that hypothesis 😂


Hot sauce definitely isn’t!


#Bitcoin fixes this

I am literally outlining a specific risk to MSTR because Saylor is a single point of failure.

I am looking for people to defend MSTR not attack it. I am *doing the attacking* (despite owning some), or actually *because* I own some, I want to understand why more people don’t acknowledge this risk.

I don’t need a 101 course on counterparty risk. I am trying to understand why people are minimizing the risk for this particular counterparty.


Sorry can’t defend as I agree.

MSTR are a different type of ETF


Lanzarote for me, Costco Blanka is nearby!


Me too, Bitcoin was a solution to the financial crisis. Keep an eye open to what other crises we are currently facing!

You will probably find him there.


I actually love exploring Bitcoin. I’m currently on holiday counting the days till I can delve back into the Bitcoin mines fully.

I think I am a little different than most though.

If Satoshi is still with us, I suspect he is involved with Bitcoin from the sidelines like the rest of us, or perhaps writing a new whitepaper on quantum currency, where double spending is a feature, not a problem 😂


npub is the key

Neither have we.

Welcome


I disagree


I am the only character, all others are NPCs


non KYC Bitcoin is a big topic right now and buying it is still beyond many people’s expertise or trust levels.

However buying exchange KYC #BTC and then obfuscating it is a much more realistic option for many.

Learn about Layer 2’s and side chains as well as L1 obfuscation options.

2nd best is better than not doing the 1st best.

There is no single way to achieve privacy, choose the one best for you.

Can’t help with Square / Strike, but the whole point of Bitcoin is self custody, i.e. you don’t need a third party payment processor.

Look at BTCpay as an option, if you think it suitable but are not sure use #asknostr

An idiot's unofficial guide to #nostr

Nostrich = You
Zap = lightning payment
GFY = Hi
PV = Cool
Odell = Ultra cool
Relay = data rebroadcast server
Client = App you use to interact with nostr
Npub/Public key = Username
Nsec/Private key = Password
GM = Good morning
GN = Good night
GA = Good afternoon
GE = Good evening
NIP = Part of a list of programming proposals
DM = Message in private
Boost = Repost
Note = Post
Purple = Color of nostr
NWC = A way of connecting your lightning wallet
PFP = Profile photo
NIP05 = Blue checkmark
Nostr. wine ≠ Alcoholic beverage
JSON ≠ Jason


Or Craig 😂


We are all dumb here.


NOSTR is a protocol not a platform, there is room for an infinite number of platforms that sit on the protocol


European War Bonds, the greatest robbery of the 21st Century

Ursula Von Der Brujen & Company have decided that Europe has no better thing to do than to go into war economy and start producing weapons like there is no tomorrow. To do this she has said that we need to print a trillion Euros, which will take the form of Eurobonds.

These Eurobonds have the peculiarity that they will be backed by the public treasuries of each country (the rowers), therefore they are guaranteed, i.e.: Before we stop paying pensions than Eurobonds.

With these Eurobonds, 65% of the weapons will be bought abroad (i.e. from the United States) and 35% in Europe.
The main European arms companies are already in the hands of the United States, so in practice that 35% will also go to the United States.

At the same time, the Eurobonds will be bought by the big Wall Street companies, which will have a return for their interest and a guaranteed payment of these bonds.

In short: The rowers are going to give the United States a trillion Euros, and inflation will go up a couple of digits.

It’s a different mind set, and a better one.

I love paying in BTC almost as much as I love receiving BTC

Technically we are still a while off the web, most local tradesmen advertise their mobile numbers on the side of their vans.

It’s all relative

Thought of the day.

I remember EasyJet fought changing from phone numbers on the side of their planes to a web address for bookings in the 1990’s

It was only as their bookings declined as everybody moved to the web that they changed.

So it is with Bitcoin, most will follow out of need, not desire

I’m still here to advise on RAM if philosophy gets a bit dull 😂


RAM is the most significant thing. I would say 8GB is a minimum, 16GB gives you options and consider 32GB if you want some degree of future proofing.

I’ve got a Lenovo NUC running Start9, gonna buy an Umbrel home. And discard by 2 RPIs running Umbrel, so should have 2 perfect nodes.

Watch this space 😂


I tried to do that, but Umbrel is an app sits on top of Ubuntu and requires specific partition configuration. Start9 is an OS which configures itself, but is harder to do.

Have you seen my header:

Hello fren 🙌


We all have our own reality, I’m not trying to convince you of anything.


That might be a stretch to pull off, but if you succeed, think of all the filthy fiat you could HODL


Trust is important, but living in fear because of it restricts your life.

Bitcoin is about self sovereignty, as you fall down the rabbit hole, you quickly achieve many life skills.

Increasing price is the thing that attracts everyone to Bitcoin, self sovereignty is the gift Bitcoin rewards you with.

Bitcoin doesn’t fully reveal its full potential until you have gone through two halvings.

Enjoy the journey.


If you don’t have an enemy you can’t frighten the plebs. If you don’t fight a war, you can’t control your industry and if you win the war, you stop the machinery your wealth depends on.

Any wallet is good:

Alby is great for web access (it has NOSTR key management built in).

Primal Smartphone app has a great wallet built in.

npub.cash web provides a web based service.

You may find you'll use more than one wallet depending on the environment you choose at any particular time.

Also UK equivalent of Silicon Vally is called Silicon Roundabout and is a shitty intersection off an aptly named street called "Old Street" in Shoreditch London.

Bizarrely, Google translated that quite well, and I agree 😂


I understood the first 10 words, after that 🤷


Thanks, can he perform searches on the Internet for me while I'm waiting for his engine?


Fun fact, Charles Darwin lived in Downe, which was about 5 miles from where I grew up in Bromley, South east London.


Yes it is good, but it is prepared to lie, and the lies are subtle and nuanced.

A tensor engine is different to a voting engine, the are both trained on similar data sets, but both have flaws.

You still need an indexer that can return valid results without bias, it's just that Google have introduced bias over the years and has become almost unusable.

But as Churchill once said:

Google is the worst search engine, except for all the others


Then what?


I think google looses something in translation:

"Additional agreement you use all the subtleties of the implicit and explicit community"


I grow cruising a lot, so I can't watch the Poseidon Adventure anymore 🤣


Anyone with a severe personality disorder.


Ego is the absolute worst, but we all have it, including me.

I sometimes indulge it, but most of the time I'm in control of it.

And it's not just companies, a lot of people that NEED Bitcoin fail to consider it and shut their mind down to it.

WTF Maths literally describes the universe, both observable and quantum


Shit, the world really has changed, I call it joined up writing and the concept of thinking of this as a thing is extremely weird.

I almost never write on paper, but the idea that I couldn’t write a book or just a letter in joined up writing is so alien to me.

I have a cushion on my chair, I checked here before, that’s decadent, but allowed.


I have nice thoughts tho, in the days of landlines, she would take calls for other family members on a notepad and leave it by the phone. The problem is, she often used shorthand, so we couldn’t read them 😂


Cos of the pump 🤣

Even Brian Armstrong couldn’t stop it


I thought it was $600M ?


One incident involved a tenants son who wanted to pay me through the agent for a years rent.

The agent was going to take this by credit card (with all the associated fees and issues), but then realised any amount above £15K in the UK required money laundering checks and would incur costs.

The son was based in Dubai and this caused problems. I asked the tenant if his son was a Bitcoiner (being based in Dubai, I thought he might be), which he was, so I gave the tenant a wallet address and his son is going to send me BTC.

The second incident involves a business and confidentially prevents me disclosing this interaction.


Twice yesterday I had to interact with normies trying to get me to do something unbelievably crazy stupid in the legacy fiat system.

I literally burst out laughing in front of them before telling them I’m a Bitcoiner, I don’t have to live in your shitty legacy fiat system.

I walked off.

They were actually quite nice, intelligent people who actually understood how stupid the things they were asking me to do, but thought stupidity was normal.


I see what you did there 👀🤣


From an older Bitcoiner, enjoy the journey, it is much, much more fun than the destination.

Just had the most batshit crazy phone call from a fiat world estate agent. They’re trying to rent out my fathers apartment for me.

Fiat money sucks SO MUCH. I appointed an agent to find a tenant, everything after that I’m dealing with myself.

They found a tenant, but the tenant wants his son to pay for a year in cash from an account in Dubai in advance. Fine not a problem. The agent wants to do background checks, so proposed taking the whole years rent by debit card, doing searches and then pass the money on to me minus the fees, but there’s a problem, any amount above 15K has to be checked for money laundering. Meanwhile apparently, the apartment block manager has told them she must interview the tenant to make certain they are suitable.

I have sacked the block manager and told the agent to stop fucking about in his shitty fiat world and understand he is working for me if he wants his fee.

I need to meet the tenant, not the departed manager and if I like him he can move in, all else is irrelevant and he is free to shitcoin in the background, but don’t involve me.

This is self sovereignty and Bitcoin.
Don’t need the money, don’t need the tenant, everybody has to do what I want or they don’t get anything they want.

This is the way.


Did not know their full name, thank you.

I, like most people I suspect, contribute to the consensus, but follow my own path.

Some controversial views.

I'm selling a chunk of my Bitcoin at peak and buying back in the dip, spending the profit in the fiat world.

Not all altcoins are shitcoins, I earn income from several utility tokens such as MYST, HNT and others.

I am holding some XMR to maintain privacy and will keep for an uncertain future.

Ethereum does smart contracts better than Bitcoin, it has however become vulnerable due to its ability to hard fork on demand and its move to PoS. This vulnerability was not too serious, but may become so when ETH ETFs are approved. Blackrock with it's $9T of assets could easily make a 51% stake attack on ETH. This is not possible with BTC.


Agreed

What if both sides are in consensus, but argue that they are not?

Is this a known problem and is there a solution?


Cramer said it wasn’t going to get above $40K.

I trust his judgement implicitly!


I don't think you appreciated that I knew that you weren't arguing that banking legacy systems are better than Lightning and that you were comparing Lightning to L1s.

I don't think you appreciated that I agreed with all your points or that I still do.

I was making different points.

You are trying to argue in a consensus. This is a nuance of the byzantine generals problem that Satoshi solved.

But yes, a kettle boils water, faster and more efficiently than anything else, so don’t heat water on the stove, use a kettle.


Lightning is a shit show, but have you seen a banks mainframe COBOL code recently?

The difference between a bank and Lightning or any L2’s is a bank is trying to maintain a legacy system, whereas we are building a new paradigm.

While Bitcoin’s L1 poses a threat to all central authorities, then yes, the more individuals and companies that run a full node the better, same with mining.

Once we move from acceptance to adoption, then this can be scaled down, but maintaining strong decentralisation for the protocol, hardware, interested parties and the network remains important to prevent the protocol, which is all it is, being subverted by separate interested parties.

TBH I can't see a use case for a global, permissionless, trustless, nearly feeless, cross border payment system that is backed better than gold and constantly increases as a store of value.

It's really hard to see how that could be used for anything.

Our only hope is to invent the Cramer Bitcoin Phone, now that's a use case.

Elon Musk does not understand Bitcoin, several posts he’s made show a lack of fundamentals. Elon is intelligent and extremely capable of understanding Bitcoin, but Bitcoin like all technical disciplines takes time to learn and understand and he has finite bandwidth.

As you say he is building cars and mars rockets.

Despite his lack of understanding, Tesla still hold 9,720 BTC making them the 3rd largest holding public company. So he has a hedge against inflation.
https://bitcointreasuries.com/

We all assume intelligent experts are experts in all disciplines. This is wrong and we need to stop doing this.

Bill Gates is an expert on software, but doesn’t understand electric cars or Bitcoin
Warren Buffet is an expert investor, but doesn’t understand Bitcoin
and Elon Musk is an expert engineer, but doesn’t understand Bitcoin

This is OK, we have enough experts and you don’t need to be an export to hold or spend Bitcoin.


The answer is NGU 😂


Adam Back maybe


Bitcoin has 100,000,000 Sats per coin and in Lightning you have millisatoshis,  so there is no issue with price.

Layer 2's like lightning allow almost fee free instant payments and other L2's and sidechains solve lots of scaling issues.

BCH is not decentralised and only scales slightly greater than BTC.

Also, do you really need to keep every single transaction on a blockchain. i.e. does a coffee seller in Perth, Australia really need to keep a copy of a pizza seller selling a pizza in Rome 15 years earlier?

Fast payments have different needs to settlement layers.

I would suggest researching the banking RTGS (Real Time Gross Settlement System). It is the layer banks use for settlement between themselves and has a capacity of around 9 TPS. This is what I believe Bitcoin Layer is becoming with Layer 2's and sidechains providing faster payment solutions.

Personally, I see more of a case for Bitcoiners supporting a privacy coin such as Monero. Privacy is extremely important as we move forward and while Bitcoin has adopted several priavacy features during its evolution, Monero has priavacy baked in.


Oooh, Coracle has a calendar that autofills Bitcoin events 🤔


Ah, OK, I'll stick with the capitalist route of paying 😂


Have you considered a dedicated Raspberry Pi + SSD (around $200 total cost).

2 of my nodes are Pi's, I'm gradually replacing them with more powerful machines, but Pi's work just fine.


On it 😁


Beautiful


I want the kudos of being invited.


Yay, thank you


I'm not an expert, I run Start9 on a dedicated Lenovo NUC with 32GB RAM and 2TB SSD.

However, I believe the difference between Start9 and Umbrel is that Start9 is an OS, which means you will at least need a partition to run it, but if you're going to partition a machine, that means that your Start9 will not be running all the time.

That is a consideration in terms of keeping it synced to the blockchain and using it as your gateway to make payments and explore the blockchain.

Personally I enjoy the drama, but I’m also aware it is incredibly disruptive to the Bitcoin community.

I’m looking forward to the very real possibility that Craig could end up in prison.


Craig has already said he will continue his legal pursuits even if he looses this case.

The hope is that his backer Calvin may decide to pull out. This tweet shows Calvin is loosing faith.

If Calvin does stop backing Craig, then that would leave Craig impotent and unable to finance his legal pursuits.

Hi Joss, as you saw, I was just discussing how we met.

Fancy lunch in Brazil sometime?


Oh, you really are in a wilderness 😂


So I did actually start with Bitcoin on blockchain.com $625 was the price back then, but quickly got into ETH, DOGE some exchange tokens such as CRO, BNB, then later DeFi stuff CAKE etc...

I still earn MYST for providing DeFi VPN services which mostly covers the cost of my broadband and I used to earn HNT for providing a LoRa hotspot. (LoRa is an IoT technology which I'm involved with).

I still use stable coins today for fiat transfers, primarily USDT and USDC and I also staked TGBP a British stablecoin that kinda failed, but I did OK for a while.


Orange pill app is all about geo location. It shows you Bitcoiners local to you and you can message them and potentially arrange to meet in real life.

I met a fellow Bitcoiner who lives about 8 miles from me and we now meet regularly for lunch or drinks and chat about Bitcoin.

Can you tell me the name of your restaurant?

I'd like to look it up on Google maps / Streetview.

No worries if you prefer not to.


It’s not obvious, but it’s spreading. I went through this with the Internet in the late 80’s / early 90’s. I think we are about 1992 in terms of adoption, although other Bitcoiners trend towards 1997 as the number of Bitcoin wallets is 130M, which is the same number of Internet users in 1997.

Have you tried traditional social media? Also, even more basic, posters put up on street corners. It might be a lot of work and if you’re running a restaurant that’s already a full time job, but if you have the time and inclination, you can make a difference in your local community.

Also, have you tried the Orangepill app? This might be helpful for organising existing Bitcoiners.

I can feel adoption growing.
