4TH/s Bitcoin miner from Canaan:

Interesting, I've just found it, and it's only $99:

Canaan were big in the day, I believe the first company to produce a Bitcoin ASIC miner.

I just updated Ostrich.work to make posting jobs free! 🆓

Would love to have the time to do more with this client but I'm glad it is out there and I hope now that there isn't any cost to post jobs there will be a few more that show up.

p.s. - please don't spam it. I have no time to work on it, so I'll just shut it down if it becomes a mess.

I‘m thinking about using nostr:npub1kmwdmhuxvafg05dyap3qmy42jpwztrv9p0uvey3a8803ahlwtmnsnhxqk9 for a new product that I plan to launch. My biggest issue will be shipping 👀 I guess I’ll only start with Europe first 🤔🤔 it will be inexpensive around 35-40€ 🤫🤫


I am in the UK, so would be difficult (only ships with Euro plug), but I already have a BitAxe which I've just been discussing here:

It seems that the Braiins is more powerful, but less efficient.

nostr:note15y4chrg4avlzat4xavr9jrev6s48vckrwzadu6lm40as0c70kxysvgjuwd


That's an upcoming stream, but the platform doesn't matter. You can use noStrudel instead:

I calculated the percentage change of winning a block solo mining here:

https://habla.news/u/mhardcastle@nostrplebs.com/1725912959496

I warn you now, it's not good 😂


I solo mine with a nerd miner 😂


Some interesting things.

Because Braiins use the controversial FPPS (Full Pay Per Share),  nostr:npub1rxysxnjkhrmqd3ey73dp9n5y5yvyzcs64acc9g0k2epcpwwyya4spvhnp8 payout is less than mine, despite having 1.5 X the mining power and using 3 X the energy.

He gets 43 Sats per day for 1.15 TH/s, I get around 50 Sats per day for 0.75TH/s

If you haven't watched  nostr:npub1wnlu28xrq9gv77dkevck6ws4euej4v568rlvn66gf2c428tdrptqq3n3wr video above, I would recommend.  nostr:npub1qtvl2em0llpnnllffhat8zltugwwz97x79gfmxfz4qk52n6zpk3qq87dze don't use KYC, they use Stratum V2, which gives back template control to the miners. And they don't use FPPS, which is a subsidised payout and one that often forces pools to receive loans from Bitmain when pool "luck" drops significantly below 100%.


Watching the video, the Braiins is wired ethernet, but the energy efficiency is waaay worse than the BitAxe.

It is showing on the video at 37 W/TH, this compares to what I see on the BitAxe at around 24W/TH.

The Braiins seems to run at 1.5 X the speed of the BitAxe, but requires about 3 times the power.


Thanks 🫂

Have a nice day too.


GM 🫂


Agreed 👍


Wen Septemberfest? 😂


Yes, that’s correct. I would prefer a wired connection as it’s more reliable. I’m not aware of any workaround for this on the Bitaxe, but there are other home miners available. I’ve seen hints that nostr:npub1rxysxnjkhrmqd3ey73dp9n5y5yvyzcs64acc9g0k2epcpwwyya4spvhnp8 is currently looking at home miners, so I expect he’ll have a video soon with other options.

I am aware Braiins make a home miner.

My agenda since your first reply to my first answer is to increase my anthropological skills.

To do that I'm now experimenting with giving you advice in an attempt to psychologically understand how you would react.

I am telling you this, because I am learning a lot, and I'd like to pass that on to the person that is teaching me a lot.

To respond to your reply:

DYOR is always the best approach, but if you choose to ask within a community, then you need, I believe, to encourage members in that community by following their agenda to a certain extent.

A business lesson that served me very well my whole life;

Always ask for and if possible give the opposing side what they want first, before asking for the thing you want. Making the other party part of a conversation flow, instead of a disconnected stream of consciousness, would, I believe, be a better approach.

If you want to have a positive experience, rather than this divergent one, then the advice in my previous reply is still one I believe would help you.

The chances are, whatever your question is or is going to be, I may not have been able to answer, but please understand I am not engaged in your discussion and haven't been since your first reply.


May I give some very humble advice?

You asked what something was. I told you. You then told me the thing I didn't say was wrong and the thing you know is not true.

May I suggest two alternative approaches which would engage me at least.

If you know something explain what you know and ask about the part you don't understand.

or

Ask questions about something you know and then keep asking questions which direct the teacher to the part you don't know, then once there ask about the thing you don't understand.

If you’re looking at the price at which Bitcoin will have parity with gold, it’s around $1.125M

I didn't know, which is why I googled and got the above. Which I thought would be funny to post.

I did some more googling and found out the reference.

But then I realised we are in an echo chamber (NOSTR) complaining about another echo chamber (MSM), which is very metaphysical and started me thinking about the nature of reality.

I concluded from a previous discussion, below, that everything is metaphysical and everything is a cult:

Yes, it cuts out all the confirmation crap you didn’t need making transactions smaller and cheaper.

We now have vBytes which is the cost of the stripped transaction.

The virtual size of a Bitcoin block is 4MB, but by stripping out the confirmation data, the actual size is typically around 1.6MB


Relays are like an onion, the more layers you peel back, the more there are.

It's not an account, you're signing messages using your private key, probably through a browser extension like Alby.

When you read your timeline, you're viewing public data that anybody can see.  This doesn't require any special privileges, I could do it without your private key.

If you set your Alby extension to confirm every time, then it won't sign messages without your confirmation. If you want to see another timeline, then you can switch to it by adding the users public key to a signing device.

I appreciate it's a different mind set, but unless you post something or pay somebody, you're not using an account at all.

But yes, a "Forget this feed", option would be useful 😂

I wasn't aware of this.

I would say that traditional British battered fish and chips is something from a past era, before we had better options. But it is still very popular among the masses, especially in poorer and older communities.

Is it eaten by younger, wealthier demographics? Not much.

Will it die out, probably not in the same way Burgers or Pizza's won't die out. But it is no longer needed as a cheap staple food.

One last point. If you visit a British "bucket and spade" seaside resort, it is a legal requirement, enforceable by the nostalgia police to have "fish and chips" for all demographics 😂

One more thing, as somebody famous, now dead, used to say. In Scotland, where my wife is from, the fish in fish and chips is automatically Haddock, whereas in England, the fish is automatically Cod. If you want Cod in Scotland you have to specifically ask for it and vice versa in England.

For my foreign frens, an explanation of the United Kingdom dominions.

The United Kingdom’s full title is “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”

Northern Ireland, as the name suggests is the top right hand corner of Ireland that is still British.

Great Britain is the main Island of the UK and includes the countries:
England
Scotland &
Wales

We used to have an empire that was mostly acquired through war and conquest, but that’s gone now. However the countries that decided to forgive us, decided to form a commonwealth. This is a loosely aligned group of former territories, but now friends of the UK.

There are 56 independent countries that make up the commonwealth, with a population of 2.7 billion:

If my web of trust should include my friends friends, then should my enemies enemy, also be included?


If you have your own domain and optionally run a node, then you can consolidate your email address, NIP-05 and Lightning address to yourname@yourdomain

Here’s how to do it.

First NIP-05

Want your NIP-5 to be: yourname@yourdomain

Copy this nostr.json file from here:
https://mikehardcastle.com/.well-known/nostr.json

Replace the "mike" with your own name.
Replace the string to the right with the hex of your npub.

You can obtain the hex of your npub here:
https://nostrcheck.me/converter/

Also replace the string at the top of the relay list with your hex npub.

Then replace the relays at the bottom with your primary relays (just 3 or 4 primary relays are needed).

Be careful not to change commas, quotes, brackets etc....

Upload the "nostr.json" file to your web server, making sure it is in the directory:

/.well-known

at the root of your HTML content

Then your NIP-05 will be:

yourname@yourdomain

Lightning Address, optionally routing to your own node:

If you have your own domain, have an Alby account and want your Lightning payment address to be yourname@yourdomain then follow this guide:
https://guides.getalby.com/user-guide/v/alby-account-and-browser-extension/alby-account/use-your-lightning-address/own-domain

If you run your own lightning node, or have always wanted to self sovereign your own Sats, then follow this guide:
https://guides.getalby.com/user-guide/v/alby-account-and-browser-extension/alby-hub/getting-started

If you run an Umbrel or Start9, you can run Alby Hub directly from your node:

"Bitcoin is like nothing else, every other product, service or asset can be fixed or restored by a third party if something goes wrong."

Not everybody wants that responsibility. Hell, I'm not sure I want to be on call 24x7x365

Not everybody wants to be uncensored.

Freedom is available to anybody, but it's not for everybody.

For some reason I almost never remember my dreams. I only know I dream because if I am disturbed and wake up suddenly, for a brief moment I do remember.

Enjoy the recollection, have a great day.

I can't, but I can explain the json file.

Copy mine.
Replace the "mike" with your own name.
Replace the string to the right with the hex of your npub.

You can obtain the hex of your npub here:
https://nostrcheck.me/converter/

Also replace the string at the top of the relay list with your hex npub.

Then replace the relays at the bottom with your primary relays.

Be careful not to change commas, quotes, brackets etc....

Upload the "nostr.json"  file to your web server, making sure it is in the directory:

at the root of your HTML content

Then your NIP-05 will be:

Welcome to NOSTR,

If you write a short bio with the tag #introductions you’ll find many people will engage and welcome you. You may also find people or subjects you are interested in and wish to follow.

If you have any questions the tag #asknostr is a good tag to use.

If you’d like to read a short guide as to why this is different and a better approach, I wrote one on NOSTR here:

Potato chips covered in chocolate is a very niche currency, but one I'm onboard stacking 😂


I'm struggling with understanding Michael Saylor's base case of 14 million USD per bitcoin in 2045.

He says that Bitcoin's market cap represents 0.1% of total global wealth today (relative market cap), while his base case scenario assumes that this goes to 7%, which is a 70-fold increase.

If we look at the historical annual average increase of the money supply USD, we know that it's about 7%.

If the money supply continues to increase at this rate, it means that in 21 years the amount of money has more than quadruppeled (≈ 4.3).

Today the price of one bitcoin is 63,000 USD.

4.3 x 63,000 USD ≈ 270.000, which represents the M2 adjusted (monetary inflation adjusted) price over a 21 year period.

Saylor's base case of 14 mill USD represents 52 x today's price, adjusted for the increase of the monetary supply.

I don't understand how a base case of 70-fold increase of Bitcoin's relative market cap translates into just a 52-fold increase in the real, M2-adjusted price.

Wouldn't it be logical that the real, M2-adjusted bitcoin price increased more than Bitcoin's relative market cap?

After all, we're talking about an asset with absolute scarcity, while global wealth, on the other hand, normally would grow.

What am I missing here?

GM, yes we definitely are.

Although I also read a technical article recently that there is a 90% chance that 100% of our DNA is lost after 5 generations and a 99% chance after 9 generation.

It went into the maths of it, but it lost me very quickly.


Don't underestimate how much you've just done for Bitcoin as a currency.

After sorting out my late Fathers estate, I recently found a letter my Uncle Bill wrote to my grandmother in 1942 after he got a medical discharge from WW2 due to TB.

He died a few months later.

The hospital, now the Botanic Gardens, is about 500 yards from my apartment in the town centre.

In my discussion with normies lately I have been trying to get to the real root of our differences. One of the major things that comes up over & over is just how much most people rely on status, or official titles, & other forms of social proof for what is true. It's literally one of the worst heuristics & yet it seems to he the most popular. How do we break people out of their herd mentality?


I can't give a good answer, only an example of my response to this attitude from an offshore relocation company:

-----------
On page 2 of your brochure, you state:

“Our clients range from billionaires and celebrities to everyday entrepreneurs”

We entrepreneurs created flight, electricity, computers, the Internet, reusable rockets and date all the way back to the invention of the wheel and later cars, medicine, AI, quantum computers and robots. We are not everyday.

Billionaires are a subset of this group, but also include 2nd+ generations who contribute nothing.

Celebrities create nothing but distraction and have no value.

Needless to say I didn't use their services 😂


I was a unique case of homeschooling because I was homeschooled through 8th grade then went made the decision to go try high school because I was worried I might be stupid compared to other kids who I knew through sports, clubs, community, etc… My parents made it clear that it was my decision to make, so I made it.

Turns out I was not, in fact, stupid relative to the other kids… I was able to skip through math classes in high school and graduated valedictorian while being a three-sport athlete all four years. I discovered that public school is absurdly easy, because everything caters to the lowest common denominator. The focus was on time spent (in your desk, doing homework, etc) vs deliverables. Put another way, it was an “hourly” mentality instead of a “salary” mentality.

That said, I had some really great science and math teachers in high school that I am still very grateful for. They were also the type of teachers who thought administrative mandates were bullshit and just wanted to focus on teaching.

Things I liked most about being homeschooled:
- I finished all my work in 2-3 hours in the morning and spent the rest of the day outside — I was outside constantly.
- I was done when I was done. There was no “homework” because it was all at home.
- I could do my work from anywhere, or work ahead a few days bitcoin if needed. There were no arbitrary constraints.
- It taught me to work on deliverables.
- I read a shitload.
- I was never uncomfortable around “adults.” They were just bigger people to me. I showed everyone respect, but I was perfectly comfortable and happy hanging out with adults even as the only kid (plus my sister).
- I got to do a bunch of random shit because I my schoolwork itself took very little time.

On the subject of random shit, one of my favorite memories is when my mom set me up with a legit blacksmith to apprentice for a day. He’s the first person who taught me about Fibonacci. Seriously brilliant and badass dude. Made a huge impression on me and I will never forget it.

I also just played in the woods constantly. Started fires, built forts, used knives and axes and guns from a young age.

In terms of things I disliked, the only real thing was the worry that I was not going to be as smart as my peers at public school. Benchmarking was hard. It’s the whole reason I decided to go to high school, only to find out that a lot of people are complete morons, with zero initiative, drive, or grit.

I also spend a day a week at a Montessori school for a year or two. That was neat. Zero “schoolwork” was done. We just built shit and cooked shit and played outside.

My parents also helped found a small charter school (about 10 kids). We would get together once a week and had a couple tutors who came in. I had an awesome Mennonite algebra tutor named Edith. We got on swell.

Anyway, highly recommend homeschooling, and will be doing it with our kid(s). There are infinitely more online resources available now than there were when my parents did it.

I like this 🫡


mysudo, it's not a recommendation, just an indication that phone numbers are moving from the base layer of the phone to a disposable app that will become as relevant as faxes are today.

As for the service, I'm pretty certain it's not open source, but it is a service that focuses on privacy and allows you to create disposable mobile numbers, or segregated mobile numbers.

If you are in the US, Google have a free option, outside of the US, we have to pay for services like this.

For me, my NIP-05 is my primary phone number from now on.


Is that the new Bombardier Global?


As phone identities become merged into npubs similar to services like:
https://mysudo.com/

My identity, through services like  nostr:npub1tm99pgz2lth724jeld6gzz6zv48zy6xp4n9xu5uqrwvx9km54qaqkkxn72 are now:
Email: mike@mikehardcastle.com
NIP-05: mike@mikehardcastle.com
Lightning payment address: mike@mikehardcastle.com

Nayib Bukele, the president of El Salvador, famous for transforming the most dangerous country in the Western Hemisphere into the second safest nation in the Americas (only behind Canada), met with Elon Musk at Tesla's headquarters in Texas, where they discussed investment opportunities in the country.

As I mentioned a few days ago, the security and stability Bukele has brought to El Salvador is attracting investments, promising to turn the country into not only a very safe place but also an increasingly wealthy and industrialized nation.

As for Elon Musk, some analysts believe he may soon be forced by Brazil's Supreme Court, under Alexandre de Moraes, to exit the Brazilian market, but it seems El Salvador is ready to welcome him with open arms.

WoT WoT WoT, but how do you have WoT on a relay? The only way is to seed it with a specific user's profile, so it has to have an "authority" anyway.

The only other way is to implement a Social Credit system for pubkeys, where pubkeys are only allowed to do certain things after they have passed the initial trials, over a period of time. Honestly this seems like a good solution to me, but I think people hate this idea?

The problem is that people on Nostr want to have their cake and eat it too. They want absolute freedom to be totally anonymous, ephemeral identity, to see and be seen by everyone. Yet they simultaneously don't want to be spammed by anonymous random accounts. I believe this is the true internal conflict that ReplyGuy exposes.

This is how I see it:

Land is the ultimate asset, beyond BTC, however it is finite and stable, takes a long time to sell and is non fungible.

Property is effectively a layer 2 to land, but unlike land, it can be printed (built) and inflated, i.e. you can knock down a house and build a tower block and it has been tainted by the 2008 crises.

Bitcoin, on the other hand is being rapidly adopted and so is increasing in value exponentially, but this will end once it reaches parity with other asset classes. It is backed by power and compute power, but that requires constant power and compute being made available.

If you are talking multi-generational, then, once Bitcoin has reached parity, you should shift to land for multigenerational stability (150+ years).

That is my strategy for the next 150 years.


I hear the $MSTR play described as taking advantage of an infinite money glitch.

But isn't MicroStrategy doing the equivalent of remortgaging their house as the value goes up, in order to buy more houses?

Because that didn't go too well in 2008, when that was the fashion among property investors and banks.

Or should I say, it went extremely well, until it all went horribly wrong when Satoshi Nakamoto stepped in and offered a solution.

Erm, kinda. I was a very young kid in the 1970’s.

In the UK, we had 3 channels until 1982.

I don’t know what the make of the TV was, but it was colour and had 6 buttons for the channels. Because we only had 3 channels, we doubled up until my Dad imported the first Hanimex games console around 1977 and then in 1982, I got a Dragon 32 computer, so by the early 80’s all 6 buttons were in use with the birth of Channel 4.

Oooh just googled it and this was it:

I think Trucks are an American thing.

I do like my Tesla, but Elon stopped producing right hand drive Model S and X, so we can only get the Model 3 & Y in the UK.

It's a hard ride and FSD is more annoying than useful (apart from in traffic jams).

I'm sticking with Teslas for now as the charging network outside of Tesla is almost unusable (number phone apps, NFC cards and accounts you need).


Also ReplyGirl 🤣


I've noticed you're not NIP-05 verified and your using furio@npub.cash as your wallet address.

Is this a hypothetical discussion, or have you yet to update your details?

If you check my profile, you will see my NIP-05, Lightning address and email address are all: "mike@mikehardcastle.com"

Which is my own domain, which routes back to my own Bitcoin node.


Thank you 🫂 for creating this.

It will post my GM tomorrow, allowing me to stay in bed longer 🤣


It's consolidating NOSTR with my own domains lightning address "mike@mikehardcastle.com" to my own node with my own channels and a single lightning wallet.

Zeus is required to give access to my onchain funds.

The downside is Zeus and Alby now have access to my entire nodes liquidity. You can set isolated users with Alby or you can set budgets which mitigate this.

I hesitated doing it because of the access to my nodes liquidit. Going to trial it for a month, see how I get on.


Staying humble and stacking sats 🫂 🫡


I've just finished my  nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm hub config with my own domain, so now zaps to mike@mikehardcastle.com go to my own  nostr:npub1aghreq2dpz3h3799hrawev5gf5zc2kt4ch9ykhp9utt0jd3gdu2qtlmhct node.

Also setup "Alby Go" on my phone, but with a very restricted budget and a short expiration date in case the wife gets hold of it 🤣

Also  nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 has access to my Lightning and onchain balance.

Now, where are all the shops and restaurants and bars to spend at?

 nostr:npub1864jglrrhv6alguwql9pqtmd5296nww5dpcewapmmcazk8vq4mks0tt2tq over to you.

The weekend's nearly here, LFG!


A very good day fren, I've just finished my albyhub config with my own domain, so now zaps to mike@mikehardcastle.com go to my own node.

For some reason, I trust Zeus to have full access to my node, but I trust "Alby Go" less, so I've set a very small budget for the moment.

How are things with you?

Also, no tax advisor is able to tell me if the moon is an acceptable domicile for non-dom status.


Funnily enough, I'm exploring this concept in depth at the moment. Had a conversation on here with a supplier to Bitmain about the centralisation of mining.

Also, there's a good coffee shop opposite!


I enjoy the act of cooking as well.

Last night was home made pasta with homemade deconstructed Arrabbiata, made with our own homegrown tomatoes  and onions and chilli, but shop bought garlic from the Garlic Farm on the Isle of Wight.

Home made pesto made from our own Basil.

Was delicious 💜

Open a Bitcoin bar in your town.


FOSS is a whole different argument that I am not engaged in enough to understand, let alone discuss.

I suspect, however, that most Bitcoin devs won’t need to worry about money after this bull run , and certainly not after the next halvings bull run .


Good luck!

This is the way 🧡


By tomorrow, I will have converted all of my savings and investments to BTC. I’m far too risk averse to expose my money to the ongoing drama of US interest rates and the temperature readings of various lagging indicators. I’m getting Bitcoin at the price I deserve, and I’m almost at peace with that. I did the best I could. 🙏🏼

nostr:note1q0ekm9qxnaxxu7fvkatxm8ulvk8gpqrctvrtqgxeccmgfgzjyrgqv68x2w


Also a valid opinion 😂


You're not wrong, but imagine if the Rothschild's had social media in the 1760's?

If "normies" back then had joined the conversation, they wouldn't have a clue what they were talking about, but by the 19th Century everybody knew what a bank was and most people used one.

There are non Bitcoin citadels (relays) on NOSTR, but for the moment, we mostly talk Bitcoin because we are still early.

It's interesting what  nostr:npub14mcddvsjsflnhgw7vxykz0ndfqj0rq04v7cjq5nnc95ftld0pv3shcfrlx is doing. He's rebranded his podcast as a general discussion forum, but every area he looks at will be from a Bitcoiners perspective and he will discuss Bitcoin with experts in different fields.

I think Peter is right, it is time to move the discussion into the real world and talk about Bitcoin in the context of everyday life.

I think NOSTR will gradually evolve to emulate this sentiment.


Why isn't this being discussed more?:

You don't need respond, I'm not trying to offend you or spoil an enjoyable event, but they do make about 90% of the mining hardware and have affective control of the pools.

I'm sure individually they are nice people, and it's always great to get free tickets for anything, but we all want to maintain decentralisation.

I wish them well, but less well than they are doing currently.

It’s because they are using a radically different model than other clients. It does not connect to multiple relays, it connects to their one custom caching server which isn’t a nostr relay. So if it goes down the whole app goes down. Brittle and takes away user agency on what relays the user can connect to.

Hopefully primal 2.0 switches to a model which is less brittle and more like a normal nostr client.

i'm playing around with "Relay Wizard" and i have to say, i'm really impressed. this tool makes installing relay and related software incredibly easy for people that aren't familiar with using the command line.

the installer tool takes away a lot of the headaches needed to get a relay up and running on a brand new server by installing everything that you need in a step by step guided installation process.

what does it do?

Install necessary dependencies
Set up a firewall
Configure nginx
Obtain a TLS certificate for HTTPS
Install the relay software
Set up a systemd service for your relay

check it out yourself https://relaywizard.com

great work nostr:npub1ygzj9skr9val9yqxkf67yf9jshtyhvvl0x76jp5er09nsc0p3j6qr260k2!


Relay Wizard now let's you choose between multiple relay implementations, including a nip29 relay that supports groups. If you have a relay you'd like to see implemented let me know. Try it out at relaywizard.com #grownostr #relays

If you don't even know where to get started with setting up a server or hooking up a domain name you can also check out relayrunner.org

I run a Bitaxe and will continue to run a Bitaxe.

I will also run an S21 or equivalent when market conditions improve for commercial mining and I ran a profitable S19 until May this year.

There is no intent behind this, numbers don't have emotions.

The reason I posted this was for my own understanding.

My view is mining doesn't need supporting.

What does need supporting is the decentralisation of mining away from Bitmain.

Bitaxe, still runs Bitmain chips, but by joining a pool like  nostr:npub1qtvl2em0llpnnllffhat8zltugwwz97x79gfmxfz4qk52n6zpk3qq87dze you are supporting decentralisation of the pools.

When Block launch their miner, I will probably start running one to support the creation of a duopoly in mining hardware.

I hope more companies start producing serious mining hardware, because a duopoly is better than a monopoly, but still not a true open market.

https://www.buggleskellystation.com/railwaybuildings


You can’t argue with that from a financial point of view 😂


Does it matter? 😂

I'm basing this on 0.75TH/s which is around the capability of my Bitaxe Supra v401 BM1368.

Older Bitaxe's will have a lower chance.


Nope, my Bitaxe cost $180, but even so, the return won't even pay for the electricity.

My data centre S19 was profitable until after the halving, but started loosing money from May when we switched it off.

Unless you're doing it at scale with extremely cheap electricity, this is not a money making exercise.

However, if you want to support decentralisation of mining pools, then this is good.

Bitaxe uses the S19 / S21 chipsets from Bitmain, so this still doesn't decentralise their dominance, we need to look at other hardware options in the future.


His portrait takes pride of place at Ventnor Arts Club:

According to Gemini:

"You can use the RBF method to speed up a transaction even if it's already been accelerated."

Question:

Can you accelerate an already accelerated transaction?

Any miners out there that explain these parameters - or point me in the direction of an explanation? This is braiins OS.

The active pool is publi-pool.io. It doesnt trigger any other parameters than "generated work". When I direct hash to braiins pool there is more activity on the other parameters. https://m.primal.net/KlgC.png

We have a confession to make. NOSTR is not perfect, we are still building. No client you use does everything you want it to, and everything it does is imperfect.

Therefore, I strongly advise you to run multiple clients.

On iPhone, I run:
Damus: https://nostrapps.com/damus
Primal: https://primal.net/downloads
Nostur: https://nostrapps.com/nostur

On Android I run:
Primal: https://primal.net/downloads
Amethyst: https://nostrapps.com/amethyst

On desktop I run:
Primal: https://primal.net/downloads
noStrudel: https://nostrapps.com/nostrudel

Also, because I run a node (Umbrel & Start9), I self host noStrudel on my own relay.

If you haven’t taken the plunge to run a node, now might be a good time to think about it.

There are many, many options for clients, the “Social” section of
https://nostrapps.com/

lists 23 currently.

Play with them, see what they do, if you’re a developer, you could even consider building or forking your own.

Have fun and realise we are building freedom tech, not just running it.

This is a long form article, you can read it in https://habla.news/a/naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzp6pmv65w6tfhcp73404xuxcqpg24f8rf2z86f3v824td22c9ymptqqxnzdejx5unzvehxc6rqwf4mstggm


First,

Key management.

When you “created” your NOSTR account, what you actually created was a cryptographic key pair.
This consists of a private key, which starts “nsec” and a public key which starts with “npub”.

As the names suggest, your “nsec” key is private and you should never reveal it to anyone.
Your “npub” key is your public key, feel free to share that everywhere.

Your “npub” key is used by others to verify your identity, through the signature added to your messages.
It is also used by others to encrypt private messages to you.

We don’t have perfect key management yet and because of the limitation of smart phones and various eco systems, it often becomes necessary for you to copy and paste your private key into apps in order to use them. This is less than ideal, but until we have ubiquitous cross platform key management devices, this situation will remain necessary.

For the moment, consider using software key management options, some of which are listed under “signers” here:
https://nostrapps.com/

N.B. We do have projects like Seedsigner that provide more secure hardware key management, but this isn’t for the faint hearted:

Secondly,

Lightning wallets.

It is common for most people to link a Bitcoin Lightning wallet to their NOSTR profile

N.B. Your profile is stored on relays and signed by your private key, which is verified by others through your public key.

You are not tied to any specific wallet for sending payments (called zaps), but you do provide a specific incoming LN address for receiving payments. This could be something like a wallet of Satoshi Address i.e. “randomname@walletofsatoshi.com” or could you be your own node with a connection to it via “Nostr Wallet Connect” a free plugin that connects a lightning wallet.

Enabling this allows people to “zap” any posts or content or even send you payments directly at any time or for any reason. N.B. It is called freedom money for a reason….

It also allows you to send small micropayments to posts or people you like.

Thirdly,

Paid Services

As you go deeper into the NOSTR ecosystem, you’ll notice there is no advertising being pushed at you and there are no algorithms manipulating the content you receive. This is because there is no company behind NOSTR, it is a protocol. Because of this, while all the ecosystem is free to use and will remain so for the foreseeable future, most of it is run by enthusiastic volunteers or developers and incurs a cost to them. For that reason many of us choose to support these #devs by paying for services. This can also enhance our experience, giving our “npub” greater reach and discoverability.

I, for example choose to pay for the following services:

https://nostr.wine/ - 120,000 Sats for 2 years relay
https://relay.tools/ - My own relay - https://nortis.nostr1.com/ 12,000 Sats a month
https://nostr.build/ - Media storage - 69,000 Sats for 1 year

Total: 22,750 Sats per month
Approx $15 per month

This is not strictly necessary, but I decided to support the various developers behind these projects.

Do not feel any pressure at this early stage to pay for any service, but if you enjoy the freedom NOSTR brings, you may want to consider supporting the projects that become important to you going forward.

Good morning ☕

I started to work on an email alias service powered by nostr.

I stucked a bit, because I started to try to solve all privacy problems I see.

But if I can find 1 thing in which I can make this better then other alias services on market, it worth already to roll it out. Also users shall think the same.

What is the benefit of it over e.g.: SimpleLogin?
1⃣ You don't need an email address to use it.
2⃣ Service does not know which alias belongs to whom.
3⃣ Easier to send email from alias.
4⃣ Emails are stored on user defined servers (relays)
(5⃣ Uses nostr as login)

Common features
1⃣ Emails are stored encrypted.
2⃣ Senders won't know your identity.
3⃣ Open-source/self-hostable

The feature I want, that seems pretty hard to achieve is, that the service has no access to the content of your emails.
