Remember, not even they know how their system works 😂

The studio is ready, Danny's flights are booked, and next week we’ll begin recording episodes for our new podcast.

I wanted to share the reasons behind this shift as many have been asking. Three primary factors influenced this decision:
1. I hate making remote shows—I never want to do them again. These interviews need the intimacy of being in person.
2. Traveling constantly has been detrimental to my health and my family.
3. My commitments here with the football club and local community are growing.

So, the solution was clear: build a studio in the UK and produce the show locally.

We’ve secured a fantastic space in Soho, London, and we’re ready to go but given the limited number of Bitcoin guests available in the UK or those willing to fly in, it’s time to retire What Bitcoin Did.

Our new podcast will be similar in feel but will cover a broader range of topics. While some episodes will focus on Bitcoin (though less frequently), most will explore other interesting topics or people.

Having made nearly 900 episodes covering a wide range of #bitcoin topics and guests, we’re now aiming higher. By diversifying our content and guests, we hope to introduce more people to the concept of sound money through podcast osmosis. If we get this right, it will be a bigger show, if we get it wrong, well we tried.

For a long time I have felt there is a need to get out of the #bitcoin corner of the party. Real Bedford FC was a way of integrating sound money into a traditional business model. CheatCode purposely did not include Bitcoin in the title, so changing the show feels like a natural next step.

Sometimes when stuck in the #bitcoin landscape you can lose site of how other people in the world think, lose empathy for the complexities of the world. I have felt this. I'd come home from spending two weeks with Bitcoiners and be with friends and family locally and notice a distinct difference in how we see the world. As everything feels like it is going to shit, I feel like there is a bigger job to do now.

The Bitcoin podcast landscape is well served, from Marty and Odell to Natalie and Preston, from The Blue Collar guys to Stefan Livera and anyone I haven't mentioned. There’s no shortage of high-quality Bitcoin podcasts.

However, there seems to be some fatigue in the space, with similar guests and topics being revisited. With our new show we want to bring fresh perspectives and ideas, aligning with sound money where relevant—think of the shows we’ve had with the likes of Eric Weinstein and Michael Malice.

On a personal note, I’m need the challenge, test myself wider, get fit and find a good woman. I can't do this travelling all the time.

When I started the podcast my life was a shit show - divorced, coming off drugs, heading towards bankruptcy. I've had an incredible 7 years, travelled the world, made amazing friends and got to live my dream by buying my local football club.

To everyone who has helped us get this far - the guests, the listeners, the sponsors, we could not have done this without you. I am forever in your debt.

I hope you’ll check out the new show and enjoy it, though it may not be for some of you. Regardless, Danny and I will work hard to deliver the best show possible, like we always have.

Roll on The McCormack Show!

There are a lot of projects #devs I want to help support, but subscribing to more than a couple of monthly 10K - 20K Sat services is unrealistic.

Perhaps some version of monthly AutoZap:
https://www.zapplepay.com/autozap

Where you can fund developers a small amount each month for say 1K - 2K would be a good option for many, especially as the ecosystem grows and more and more plebs join.


That'll scare the shit out of them 😂

I haven't coded since I wrote COBOL on a mainframe in the1980's.

I have an account on Github, I also self host Gitea on my Start9 node, where I keep copies of Bitcoin core and mempool amongst other projects.

Do you have any specific advice for an old timer to rejoin the modern world?

Specifically, I have no idea how to pull (install) any app on Github, despite being reasonably competent Linux admin.

Alby Hub just implemented subaccounts! Alby Hub runners can easily run a custodial "Uncle Jim" service and provide instant wallets to new Lightning and Nostr users, and these wallets are powered by the amazing open protocol, Nostr Wallet Connect - which works in all environments, for both custodial and self-custodial wallets.

These Uncle Jim services can be queried from any Nostr app, and wallets with a lightning address and podcasting 2.0 support can be created instantly from a single API call and be plugged into existing apps for instant wallets - Damus, Amethyst, Nostrudel, Stacker News, Habla News, WavLake, Yakihonne, Highlighter, Bringin, BTCPayServer, Coracle, Freerse, Lume, Wherostr, Zappdit, More Speech, Nostter, Nostur, Snort, Yana, Zap.Stream, Alby Extension, Alby Account, Alby Mobile, Vortex, Spring Browser, and more.

Would you run a public Uncle Jim service on your Alby Hub or add instant wallets to your app and help onboard new users to bitcoin, nostr and value 4 value?

Lots of new nostriches here today!  Welcome!  As long as I can afford it, 500 starter sats for everyone replying to this note.

Make sure you're zap-able!

I'll hit everyone while my wallet holds out.

And.. Go!


I'm liking this DVM very much.


I even have friends who I've orangepilled and am advising them to keep their coins on the exchange, because wallet management is too big a step for a newbie (especially if dealing with significant amounts).


No, never follow yourself 😂


I'm on all platforms mainly because I have IRL frens there.

"Digital Value Model"


GM Eris


NOSTR key management and Bitcoin key management follow the same principles, just the use case is different.


Predicting the future has had a100% failure rate since the dawn of mankind.

That said, the seedsigner project seems to be a good early step, so perhaps something like a small hardware device with a camera and biometric capability like a thumb print reader.

But using occam's razor, I guarantee that prediction is wrong 😂


I can confirm that:

Thanks Matt 🙏


Heading over the X to see if we left anyone behind!

Wish me luck...


Some basic concepts for new frens joining us from X

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:
https://nostr.cxplay.org/nprofile1qqs09jtvjlmyrxjn37zv70a89csegcz7rpyqjmnw29cveedhv7vagqqpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhssu7403

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.

If I can suggest a generality:

if you use an iPhone buy an Umbrel

if you use an Android buy a Start9


I'm glad he doesn't like Umbrel, it'll make your two independent reviews balanced 😀


Perfect, please get his opinion, I am prejudiced 😂


If Craig wins the appeal, he will have 1.1M BTC to buy your account😂


My preference is Umbrel, I have one official “home” server from them and a Pi 4, 8GB RAM + 2TB SSD

They have an Apple style UI and very good. Also they have Tailscale VPN so I’ve linked my Zeus wallet and can pay using my own node in the wild.

A lot of people prefer Start9, but their development is lagging and I have been waiting for their new version for over a year.

It is supposedly more robust, but the UI is more basic and they have no VPN yet.

I prefer not to use Tor in the wild as it’s slow and Phones Tor clients are not the best.

I would get a second opinion on Start9 because I’m definitely not a fan.


Almost, I’ve got bigger muscles 💪

Two reasons I stopped using it.

1. Incoming zaps broke twice (not sure why). But could always zap from it.
2. I didn’t like seeing my entire node balance on my Alby wallet (I had limited it to 100K sats), but I never like trusting software settings

That tunnel doesn't look entirely safe 😂


What you primarily get from the paid nostr.wine is discoverability and reach.


I do, but I'm hardcore and a long way down the #purplepill road.

I signed up for the 120K for 2 years, so it's only 5,000 per month for me.

You definitely don't need to, but I wanted to support the eco system and #devs as much as possible. So it's primarily ultraistic.


Also:

https://hivetalk.org/


One key point, apart from all the privacy and zapping features is that NOSTR is not just another Xitter alternative.

I would feature different apps each week from https://nostrapps.com/

And explain the power behind the NOSTR approach to each.


Idea: Nostr Academy

I would like the ability to host private video educational series with zap to enter capabilities.  It would have the ability for attendees to be unmuted by the host to ask their questions via audio or video, or they can simply use the live chat.

My idea to funnel people from YouTube/X to NOSTR would be to host a live show there each week, followed immediately by exclusive interactive + educational content hosted only here. Each week on the legacy platforms I can talk about the great interactions we had on Nostr the previous week and hopefully bring a few new faces each time.

1. How possible is this currently?
2. Is anyone working on something like it?
3. If anyone is working on it, could I work with you to provide ideas & feedback on things I think might appeal to myself and people watching the show on other platforms?

Would also love to hear other ideas and projects for video creators that currently exist... especially in the education realm.


Also, it's worth using multiple clients, it's still early days for NOSTR and everything is great, but nothing is perfect.
.
Primal has the best UI, but it doesn't work the best.

Some suggestions:

https://damus.io/ - iPhone client
https://nostrapps.com/amethyst - Android client

For desktop, apart from Primal, noStrudel is the best working, but it has an ugly UI:

If you are new to NOSTR and want a deep dive, then I can recommend this as a good start:

#asknostr
#introductions


I’ve had a look at your relays. You might want to add:

wss://nostr.wine
wss://relay.damus.io

to your relay list.

Also, if you decide you like NOSTR, you may wish to subscribe to paid relays.

https://nostr.wine/ is the big daddy of them all

I run a paid for relay, which you can subscribe to for 2,100 Sats per month:
https://nortis.nostr1.com/

Or if you want to get hard core, you can start your own relay at:
https://relay.tools/

If you have development skills, you can always build and host your own
https://github.com/hoytech/strfry is probably the most common and powerful one currently


As there are a lot of new users coming onboard here are some of the more interesting projects that I like:

Messaging:
https://www.0xchat.com/#/ - Private messaging - think WhatsApp

Xitter Like Clients:
https://damus.io/ - iPhone client
https://nostrapps.com/amethyst - Android client

https://creatr.nostr.wine/subscriptions/new-user - Creator tools

List of NOSTR apps:
https://nostrapps.com/


Tips for content creators on Nostr:

1. Promotion and marketing.
-YOU must promote and market your content since Nostr doesn’t have ads nor a marketing team. Word of mouth is an effective form of marketing. Flyers, posters, handouts and signs are great for promoting your work. Use digital tools as well.

2. Focus on a niche.
-Your content may not be for everyone. It’s for certain people. Focus on them.

3. Create AMAZING unique content!!!
-Your content has to be so cool and popping that people will desire more. Give people something they can’t really get anywhere else.

People will find value in your work. They’ll share it with others. And keep coming back for more. Humans are inherently drawn to a light source. Be the light. ✨

What is the best way to paste nostr content on X and have a correct link preview ?
I tried a primal note link and the preview is not the note content, but always the “social bitcoin wallet” picture.
I tried to shorten it using w3.do but the problem remains the same.
Using iris.to do not solve this issue…
When I send the same primal note link on Signal or Element, the preview is ok :

I am unable to verify this independently, but this note suggest the public pool is not really a pool at all:

nostr:note1qmt59qctqxvnyrdrppgdeff6p86yuk70xx3mzzd6p5a48xen4g9szuncwx


I'm not sure I understand?

If it's solo miners sharing stats, but still solo mining, then this definitely isn't a pool.

A pool is only a collaborative effort where all rewards are shared.

Are you saying it's the first?


What about Crows Nest?


Family is the best!


Dilema!

Do you support
https://web.public-pool.io/#/

with your Bitaxe.

They haven't mined a block yet and have about 15% of the hash power required to do so.

Or do you go with a mid range pool that is earning?


Looks challenging!

From this Xitter post on Aug 23 2024, it looks like public pool have about 15% of the compute power to mine a block:

https://x.com/Public_Pool_BTC/status/1826981816210710880

So if you actually want to earn rewards, you'll probably need to choose a larger pool.

My data centre S19 switched between F2Pool and BTC.com which are both smaller, but earning pools.

My income from each was about the same and profitable until May this year on an S19.

Could be, but I think I have a good relay setup.

I'm using all the usual free relays.

I pay for filter.nostr.wine
I pay for my own relay on  relay.tools
and
I have two private relays in my home, one on Umbrel and one on Start9.


I’ve just started bookmarking.

I’m using Primal and they show up in Primal, but they don’t show up in any other client, i.e. Damus, Nostur and Amethyst

GM Robert another fine day in BitcoinLand 🧡


It makes #Bitcoin look weak, if the people promoting it are afraid that it can't compete on a level playing field with other currencies. It's one of the largest currencies in the world, now; nearly the same size as the Swiss Franc. It is quickly moving into place to become the largest reserve asset after gold and US treasuries, and the LN network is eating away at all other financial networks.

Open the market. Let the users choose. And may the best currency win.

Yes, I tried Strike the day it launched. Can't remember why I didn't go with it. I have literally gone through every single option in my 8 years of buying Bitcoin.

SwissBorg is my favourite, it's not an exchange, it's a broker, sourcing the best price across the markets in real time.

They got shut down by the FCA for a while, but they are back, however they changed their nominee account, so while I still deposit fiat to them into an account in my name, all my banks are flagging it as a Wyse trading account (incorrectly) and blocking it constantly, hence why I'm buying small amount from CoinCorner & Revolut.

I'm only buying tiny amounts these days, so I'm less bothered about achieving the best rate.

I'm copying your follow again Matt 😀


I have 3 nodes at home which run various NOSTR services, I didn't list them here as I am only discussing my spending choices.

I am not trying to reduce my spend, I am trying to increase my support for developers.


I have VPS's for non NOSTR / BTC services, I prefer to support the community if I can.


I buy BTC monthly at twice the amount I spend, so I always end up with more Sats than I've spent.

In the UK that's getting harder. I use SwissBorg, CoinCorner and Revolut, currently.


Depends what you mean by that?

I could port forward to a server in my home and host for free, but that adds complexity and raises security issues, also reliability is a factor.

I could host on any public service, you can do that in a small way for free, but high usage requires fiat.

I could setup my own server in the cloud, but that requires fiat.

Mostly, if I'm going to pay for a public service, I'd rather do this on a NOSTR focused server and support the developer.


Services on NOSTR I pay for:

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

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


I’ve been running a nerd miner. Just ordered the S21 chip Bitaxe home miner as my S19 data centre miner got retired in May, a month after the halving.


They were based on old S9 miners. There’s a whole bunch of S19 miners being retired right now that will become heaters in the near future.


Thanks 🙏

GM Morten, have a great day!


Organisations like  nostr:npub1qtvl2em0llpnnllffhat8zltugwwz97x79gfmxfz4qk52n6zpk3qq87dze are attempting to mitigate it and others like  nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m are looking at decentralising the hardware.

We need hundreds of  nostr:npub1qtvl2em0llpnnllffhat8zltugwwz97x79gfmxfz4qk52n6zpk3qq87dze and  nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m to truly achieve this.

Also the increasing trend for Bitcoiners to buy home miners like the Bitaxe: https://bitaxe.org/ and hopefully join smaller pools (solo mining is not going to help), may mitigate the situation over time.

But it is VERY worrying!


GM

Especially to anyone using Telegram


We reached hash sovereignty in 2014 and have been un-attackable from external forces since then.

We didn't envisage internal threats. Sadly, the block / fork wars of 2017 created an unhealed division that could be a threat still.


Bitcoin is not susceptible to a staking attack, but any PoS blockchain is and Ethereum with its $330B means any government or fund with $165B can hijack it.

Current market cap of Bitcoin is $1.25T, current global wealth is $454B. This is a good thing as there is too much money chasing too little supply, hence NGU.

Governments cannot buy enough compute or energy to launch as 51% attack on Bitcoin, but 2 mining pools combining are there already.

Luckily pools are made up of thousands of individuals or companies who collaborate to share rewards.

For me Bitmains dominance in the mining hardware business gives them huge power, but people like  nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m are gearing up to provide viable alternatives. What we need is hundreds of Jacks with hundreds of different competitive mining hardware.

I might look to re-enter the semiconductor business to help mitigate this issue soon.

2 Pools (Foundry & Antpool) control well over 50% of the mining hash power.

Should we be worried?

The founder of Telegram has just been arrested in France, around 8pm Saturday 24th August 2024. Charges include lack of cooperation with law enforcement, drug trafficking and fraud.


Yes, it was originally going to be called Titcoin 🤣


I’m not certain we have concord.

That’s like a painter asking how many pots of paint I’d like to paint my house with.

The cache size is self determining and a secondary issue to the two points I’ve raised:

1. Clearing the cache doesn’t do what it says.

2. The cache size doesn’t noticeably change the app’s performance significantly as far as I can test.


Didn’t he sell fake McDonalds NFTs as well?


Also when I’ve deleted the app and reloaded it. With a near zero cache size I don’t see a dramatic performance degradation.

I appreciate Damus has a pseudo relay built in, so I understand the cache reflects this, but even so 8GB for a cache is enormous!


I see it differently. I care less how big the cache is, I care more that when I clear it down it doesn’t trend to zero, but instead reduces by around 25%

It was about 7.5GB before I cleared it from the app.


Hey nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s when you get some time, could you take a look at the amount of storage nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 is using?

Bit extreme, but I can't say I disagree 😂


If you’re a bank you can use customer funds for your own purposes, you don’t need to keep any of your customers money or make it available to them other than in small amounts.

If you make huge losses, you don’t go bankrupt, the government bails both your bank and your customers out.

Without a banking license, the above will cause bankruptcy and is illegal and amoral.


If you don't like one of your kids, can you try to force them to do something they don't want and get the authorities to look after them for you?

Asking for a PSYOP 😂


We agree on all your points, yet you seem to be aggrieved and dismissive.

I believe this is one of those cases where two sides agree, but don’t understand that the other side is agreeing.

Either way, I do not wish to continue this discussion with you if it causes you pain, but if you do wish to continue, I would be very eager to hear any points you have.

I genuinely wish you a good day fren.


Also, your point that they held no Bitcoin.

Banks don't hold any fiat legally.


I neither know nor argue either point with you as it doesn’t change my points.

1. They just did what banks are legally allowed to do (using customer assets) and yes they are not allowed to do this because they are not a bank.

2. Their profit from investments exceed their losses.

I am not arguing they didn’t break the law, or that they didn’t do anything amoral, they are guilty on both counts.

I am simply arguing that if they had a bank license, they would not have filed bankruptcy, nor would SBF be in prison.

In fact my argument is the opposite. Most banks are bankrupt and most executives of them should be criminals.


I would argue they did it well, since bankruptcy, FTX has made a profit and is returning all money to investors, primarily due to its investment in  Anthropic:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c9wz3wkrdj9o

You literally signed up for it and have a license 😂


Is this it?

https://www.theclownschool.com/


True.


Rehypothecation is when a broker or bank uses assets that a client has posted as collateral for their own purposes.

Isn't this what FTX did?


I think this IS one of the corners, just not ALL the corners (not yet at least)


Humans are both individual entities AND part of a collaborative group driven by consensus.

Your experience mirrors this constant conflict and is probably overall a healthy situation.

There are always corners to be found online / offline where common dissenting voices can be heard.


I've spent my 100K Alby budget already this month 😂


Same as most people, on here. There's a few of us that weren't "in" Bitcoin Twitter and we came over because of other reasons.

I kept having my account reported and locked because German left-wing activists would report me for hate-speech, so I switched to writing in English, but then I would get caught up in "mass reports" (where they report someone and everyone in the thread with that person), so I got frustrated and moved here...and nobody here wanted to talk about that stuff. And I don't talk about the popular topics _in the right way_.

Theoretically, I'm precisely the sort of person that Nostr was designed to help. In reality, I'm the wrong kind of activist.


Wish I was there!


The technical issues surrounding groups, especially closed groups was discussed at #Nostriga

The complexity of encrypting group messages is very nuanced and @JeffG is working on this.

The social part, I wholly agree with, we need the ability to curate groups or forums either closed or open and to have clients that enable that.


Thanks

Yo fams, I’m new here lol. Really need a lot of help on how to use this app

#introductions


Welcome fren

Use the #asknostr tag for general questions.

How can we help?

Below is a long form explanation of NOSTR:

NOSTR stands for Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted on Relays and it is a social media protocol in the same way http is a web protocol.

The protocol is open and anybody can build upon it. It has some fundamental concepts that are very different to existing social media platforms.

Firstly it is decentralised, it runs across relays and anybody can run a relay. They can be open or closed, public or private, free or paid.

Secondly, as a user, you don’t have an account, you have a private key, this is used to secure your data. These are the same type of keys used to secure Bitcoin.

Your profile (account) is yours, you own and control it using your private keys and verified by others with your public key.

Your posts are yours and you can store them on your own relay in your own home or business or you can rely on free public relays or more feature rich paid public relays.

All your public data is signed by your private keys to verify it is you that owns it and all your private data is encrypted so nobody can read it.

Messages (i.e. think NOSTR WhatsApp) are encrypted with your private keys so NOBODY can hack it or listen in, not even the NSA through a companies backdoor. You message other users privately by encrypting messages to them using their public key, which they decrypt using their private key.

Relays talk to each other in the same way Bitcoin nodes relay information. Think of it a bit like BitTorrent.

Data is normally sent on the clearnet, but can be relayed across the darknet (Tor) in highly censored regions.

Because it is built using Bitcoin principles and technology, so it has Bitcoin money built in, meaning you actually send / receive money from / to any participant.

As money is built in, the commercial options are different to centralised corporate owned platforms. It would be technically possible to build a platform that supports advertising, however that hasn’t really happened to date because influencers can be paid directly from their audience in many different ways. Ad hoc tips, subscriptions, pay to view or pay per time models.

The great thing for content creators is that they control, own and keep all the money they make. There is no third party intermediary or merchant deciding whether they are allowed to be paid or not.

NOSTR is censorship resistant, as there is no way to stop anybody publishing anything they want, in the same way nobody can stop or interfere with a Bitcoin payment.

From an end users point of view, if they want to self censor, they can do this in multiple ways. You can mute users individually, or you can choose to use relays that adhere to your views or interests, so if you don’t want to see certain categories of content, you would avoid relays that carry those feeds. You can even run your own relay and curate content that you then charge other like minded users to connect to. You can of course connect to multiple relays for multiple different type of feed.

While NOSTR is a protocol, platforms have to be built to use it, so the first platforms were twitter like clients and they are still very prevalent. However, NOSTR now has clients that emulate most social media platforms, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Soundcloud, WhatsApp etc. They are even creating their own categories as well as emulating other functions such as Office Suite tools or e-commerce shops.

Once you’ve setup your keys, you can use those same private keys to access any platform you wish and you can use a browser extension such as Alby to manage your keys: https://getalby.com/

My views on the Babylon PoS staking pool and it’s attempt to use Bitcoins PoW to backup the weaker PoS systems used by most altcoins.

Yes, it’s stupid, yes it’s a con, yes you shouldn’t use it.

But I’d like to explore deeper.

This is signal that Bitcoin will not only be used to shore up fiat and be the leading asset and commodity for the planet. But it now shows that Bitcoin was right all along and altcoins followed a false trail by using Ethereum as a foundation.

Vitalik made a woke decision to move from PoW to PoS. Yes PoS saves a shit load of electricity and compute, but that misses the point. It is that energy and compute that makes Bitcoin a hard asset. Ethereum’s PoS could be hijacked if you can stake 51% of the coins, around $160Bn - pocket change for a government or investment firm like Blackrock.

Bitcoin on the other hand can never be hijacked, it is utterly impossible for a government or investment firm, or even group to buy run and obtain enough compute and electricity to launch a 51% attack and has been since 2014.

For me, scam noise aside, this Babylon project sends a hugely bullish signal to the world about how powerful Bitcoin has become. Don’t stake in it, but follow it to see what happens. It may be another pillar in the foundations of Bitcoins ultimate world dominance that is happening faster than slowly and now, almost suddenly.


I hear you're the big cheese in that pool 🤔

My only previous experience of home mining has been nerd mining:
https://nerdminers.com/

which are unable to join pools, so they are more vanity miners.

This might be of interest, it uses the BM1370 ASIC from the S21 Pro miner:
https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/bitaxegamma-5th-major-revision-with-bm1370-asic-from-antminer-s21-pro/

It seems to have a lot of hash power for the power consumption and may be worth the investment over time.

Not sure about hooking it up to 12V or 24V, sorry.


With todays mining fee boost, maybe it's time to start home mining:

I've been doing some analysis of it. Feel free to look through my feed for today (comments and posts).


So Bitcoin PoW is now backing altcoins inferior PoS by staking BTC through Babylon Labs.

Opinions please!


I'm a rubbish drone pilot, but here's a mashup I did from Peebles a long time ago:

Perfect 🧡


There's a saying in the Scottish Borders;

London's big, but Biggar's bigger. 😂


Good choice 👍


Just re-read my explanation. I was correct except for the runes bit.

It isn't staking for runes, it's using Bitcoins superior PoW as staking for altcoins PoS.

This enables the much better blockchain of Bitcoin to secure the less secure altcoin blockchains.

FYI: Explaining things to others helps me understand it myself.


Definitely not for me either, but very intrigued about the significance.

They got their full allocation of 1,000 coins within an hour from 12,720 stakers:

https://btcstaking.babylonlabs.io/


I know Mike, I wouldn't trust him or anything he says.

Still intrigued as to what this is all about and trying to decide if this is good or bad for Bitcoin.

It seems to me that Bitcoin is being used to back altcoins. I think this says a lot!

I'm starting to think Bitcoin will eventually back everything, INCLUDING altcoins!


Staking started today and is what the high fees were all about:

Bit cooler, but yes.

Also Bretagne is the name of the ferry that takes you there from Portsmouth, which passes our place on the coast regularly.

Shouldn't shit proposals be written on brown paper?


I have no idea what that's all about

I'll give it a go, it's not too technical.

They are competing to be included in the first block after the launch of the Babylon Labs runes staking so they can earn maximum staking fees for their new PoS staking system.

RBF (Replace by fee) allows the CPFP "Child pays for parent" protocol to bump a transaction and mempool.space recently created a web interface from their service, which allowed easy ways to do this.


That’s great until you spend your entire 100K Sat Alby budget by the 20th of the month 😂

Believe it or not, the book is actually a veiled criticism of the gold standard in late 19th century America. The author L. Frank Baum was on the side of bimetallism because he believed farmers were being forced into debt by banks due to a tighter money supply.

It’s actually fascinating stuff that I didn’t have any understanding of until after I learned about bitcoin.

Also, it’s worth reading the book because the movie is deeply flawed and changed too many of the concepts to even make sense when compared to the author’s original vision.

Inflation is like acceleration, you’re still going faster, but your speed is increasing by smaller increments.

NOSTR gossip == outbox

https://nostrify.dev/relay/outbox nostr:note1rd9t59nffcv472cr3nz37daxmqkqz2zysv5vg9afvk83yk7fmq0qfpwe8z


Ah, I’ve heard the “outbox” model mentioned a few times. I need to understand this better


Very interesting. This looks similar to Bitcoin nodes


This may be of interest:

The Gossip Model was named after this client, because gossip never used a simple list of relays. From day one it tried to find posts of people that you follow wherever they are most likely to be, based on those people's relay lists as well as half a dozen other heuristics. Today multiple clients use a similar model, focused around (NIP-65). Gossip connects to all relays necessary to cover everybody you follow, while also trying to listen to the minimum number of relays necessary to do that (considering that there is overlap, and that people generally post to multiple relays). It also dynamically adjusts to relays being down or disconnecting.

https://github.com/mikedilger/gossip


I just did a walk through of the #nostriga venue and it’s looking great. I’m excited for tomorrow.

https://i.nostr.build/QBQ5K4hTt5KMInJV.jpg
https://i.nostr.build/3yo4yDP0InwPKEF5.jpg


So it seems relays don’t relay.

i.e. they don’t relay messages to each other. If you don’t share a common relay, then you are unable to communicate.

It seems you need to pay to “write” to large relays like nostr.wine in order to attain the reach.

If you just read from the large relays, then your notes won’t travel.

relay.damus.io has been allowing free writes, but due to demand, has had to throttle writes from unsubscribed npubs

I believe NOSTR is inherently trending towards a centralised paid relay model, which was not the concept. Paid, yes, but not centralised.

Still researching, but these are my early thoughts.


That's taken from Sliema, we were there a month ago!


No, but I'm guessing their relays changed and they did a recount.

I'm doing a deep dive on how relays work at the moment.


Am I right in thinking that NOSTR relays don't relay?

If you don't share a common relay, you can't interact!

I mined it on a new private key. I used `rana` on every cpu I owned for a couple weeks and finally got the 8 characters. What it does is just randomly generate nsecs until it finds an npub with the prefix you specify, and I had it looking for about 10-15 of various lengths.

You might need to setup your Lightning address in your profile header


I got your zap, but I can't zap you.

Hello me again 😂

Alby is great for desktop, if you're a node runner, you can link your own node with NWC (Nostr Wallet Connect) or Alby hub:

If you're running from a smart phone, then the Primal app will create a wallet for you.

Primal looks great, but it struggles to work well all the time, I would suggest damus for iPhone or Amethyst for Android as your starting daily drivers.

Check out https://nostrapps.com/ to see some of the stuff going on in this space.


That was shot a few weeks ago. I’m playing with a NOSTR media server nostr.build

We have a place in Ventnor and my friend came over from Sandbanks for lunch. He wasn’t certain he had enough range to reach Ventnor 😂


Hello all, just discovered Nostr. I'm a long time Bitcoiner, running my own node and all the good stuff, but just starting to get into Nostr, Lightning and more. Just wanted to say hi.


Welcome friend.

If you repost with tag #introductions  you'll get a wider spread.

Also #asknostr if you have any questions.

Good luck and welcome to the party.

Looking to set up a non-profit organization with Nostr as new way to reach out. Finding it interesting how to resolve the issue of securing the private key, while still providing post permissions without leaving with the key if the person changes roles. Up to now, doesn't seem possible without a hardware signing device which they could still remain with it after leaving their role. Even if it's not easy to implement, anyone with a simple solution to maintain, is appreciated.

But  nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm could be the solution to separating at least the access to the lightning funds from the Nostr account. How about it, Alby? Just need that invite to test it out 😉

Come to the UK, it's mild. About 20 deg C


Not your keys, not your passwords:

Real food is the best. We used to keep chickens, this our cockerels first crow, before we knew we had more than just hens 😂

I tried and failed to zap from another account, so I've just unlinked to my node and managed to zap from another account.

I'll leave it unliked for now, I prefer having a small balance wallet public facing anyway.
