This isn’t a platform it’s a protocol. Are you sure there is no client that offers what you want. Most clients offer mute lists, most relays offer filters.

If what you want doesn’t exist and you think there is a demand for it, suggest it to the open source community or better still code it yourself. If you can’t code, but see a compelling feature, then maybe that’s an opportunity to learn to code.

There are no overlords here, there is nobody telling you what you can or cannot do. There is nobody to blame and there is nobody to praise.

This is the way.

The Bitcoin rabbit hole is infinitely deep and educates you in more ways in more things than any school, university or industry ever can.

I did a deep dive into the protocol of their chosen shitcoin and discovered its a shill. I sent the evidence which confirms the company knows it's a con and his only question was who told me this.

I tried to explain that I had discovered it, but it blew his mind that you can understand anything without somebody in authority tell you.

https://i.redd.it/0rbxt3a32klc1.jpeg


The game was always Bitcoin vs CBDCs.

I'm now certain I've backed the right horse.


The U.S. is going to have another Nixon Shock moment within the next 3 years.

i.e. it's lost the game, so it has to cheat by changing the rules.


It's a traditional private bank based in Gibraltar that offers custodial Bitcoin and Tether storage.

It allows an on / off ramp and as a bank your fiat is guaranteed up to 100,000 Euros.

You can send Tether (on Ethereum) and spend on their debit card or transfer to another bank.

It was started by a Bitcoiner, Wences Casares


Sure, this is the Telegram feed from this site:
https://buybitcoinworldwide.com/treasuries/

Because the Bitcoin blockchain is public and because public organisations have to declare interests, so you can link wallet addresses to organisations and monitor them for activity.

This is historical because I’m guessing they’ve only just been declared.


Countries get their first Bitcoin from criminals, but stay for the value proposition 🤣

You are right, but not yet.


Fair point well made, I can't see any flaw in your argument.


True.


Global wealth is around $400 Trillion

For Bitcoin to represent that value the price per coin would have to equal around $20 million.

That's the ceiling for Bitcoin.

I have recently launched Wikifreedia, which is a different take on how Wikipedia-style systems can work.

Yes, it's built on nostr, but that's not the most interesting part.

The fascinating aspect is that there is no "official" entry on any topic. Anyone can create or edit any entry and build their own take about what they care about.

Think the entry about Mao is missing something? Go ahead and edit it, you don't need to ask for permission from anyone.

Stuart Bowman put it best on a #SovEng hike:

> The path to truth is in the integration of opposites.

Since launching Wikifreedia, less than a week ago, quite a few people asked me if it would be possible to import ALL of wikipedia into it.

Yes. Yes it would.

I initially started looking into it to make it happen as I am often quick to jump into action.

But, after thinking about it, *I am not convinced importing all of Wikipedia is the way to go*.

The magical thing about building an encyclopedia with no canonical entry on any topic is that each individual can bring to light the part they are interested the most about a certain topic, it can be dozens or hundreds, or perhaps more, entries that focus on the edges of a topic.

Whereas, Wikipedia, in their Quijotean approach to truth, have focused on the impossible path of seeking neutrality.

Humans can't be neutral, we have biases.

Show me an unbiased human and I'll show you a lifeless human.

*Biases are good*. Having an opinion is good. Seeking neutrality is seeking to devoid our views and opinions of humanity.

Importing Wikipedia would mean importing a massive amount of colorless trivia, a few interesting tidbits, but, more important than anything, a vast amount of watered-down useless information.

All edges of the truth having been neutered by a democratic process that searches for a single truth via consensus.

# "What's the worst that could happen?"
Sure, importing wikipedia would simply be *one* more entry on each topic.

Yes.

But culture has incredibly strong momentum.

And if the culture that develops in this type of media is that of exclusively watered-down comfortable truths, then some magic could be lost.

If people who are passionate or have a unique perspective about a topic feel like the "right approach" is to use the wikipedia-based article then I would see this as an extremely negative action.

### An alternative
An idea we discussed on the #SovEng hike was, what if the wikipedia entry is processed by different "AI agents" with different perspectives.

Perhaps instead of blankly importing the "Napoleon" article, an LLM trained to behave as a 1850s russian peasant could be asked to write a wiki about Napoleon. And then an agent tried to behave like Margaret Thatcher could write one.

Etc, etc.

Embrace the chaos. Embrace the bias.

Will importing Wikipedia destroy Wikifreedia, the nostr-based wikipedia alternative?


Also, she's available for any bids.

In the UK there is an old world "fiat expert" who asked for advice on how to help people struggling with inflation.

We Bitcoiners reached out to him and told him the way.

He did not listen.

He will fail, we tried to help.

GM, or better halvings!


I am not a local but lucky to have been there a couple of times. My tips on #Madeira, with the help of some friends:

Madeira

There are webcams all over the island. You can see the weather conditions in real-time: http://www.netmadeira.com/webcams-madeira

Scenic drives and walks:

Starting from Ribeira Brava, start going up in the direction of Encumeada (best Poncha bar as you’re driving to Encumeada). From there drive to Paul da Serra to see the beautiful view and then go to Fanal (wildlife reserve with 1000+ year old trees). From there, walk the Levada do Rabaçal and then Levada 25 Fontes. It roughly takes 3 hours total, ideally in a day without clouds. One of the most beautiful walks to do. Drive down to Porto Moniz (beautiful sunset) and drive back to Funchal through the Ribeira Brava tunnel.

Start at Pico do Arieiro - beautiful mountain with a view point above the clouds - From there drive down to Ribeiro Frio then to Faial. From there drive to Porto da Cruz (pretty seaside village) and then drive through Santo António da Serra to Machico and finish with a walk in Ponta de São Lourenço. Have dinner in Baía de Machico, near the sand Beach.

Start at Miradouro do Cabo Girão (beautiful view point). From there drive to Fajã dos Padres and get the cable car down to the sea - nice spot for a swim and cute restaurant by the sea (must book). In the afternoon you can drive to Curral das Freiras and stop at Eira do Serrado - an incredible view and drive.

Places to visit:

Ponta do Sol - Pretty village
Jardim do mar - Surfers beach (nice restaurant on the beach)
Calheta - Nice coastal village

Gaveão - good fish
Kampo
Akua - amazing fish set menu
Olívia
Venda Velha - Poncha Bar
Barreirinha Bar/café - Nice sunset spot/ afternoon drink (great vibe and music)

Other places

Supposedly a lot of Bitcoin services are down. All systems are a go at Strike.

US users can buy bitcoin with their bank, cards, direct deposit and wire transfer.

African users can now buy bitcoin and USDT with mobile money, bank transfers, and cards.

The other 60 markets we support can also buy bitcoin with their debit card. More market expansion coming, next one in about a month.

If you ever have any issues with a limit, a purchase, or anything at all please don't hesitate to reach out to me. For some reason people assume I'm too busy. Too busy with what?

Welcome friend


Friends call me "Cut the crap Mike" and it's an accurate assessment, but most don't know why I'm like that.


I used to watch them on MTV back in the day.


Well Gary Gensler was pro Bitcoin until he got the job with the SEC.

People who work for companies that make shit products still have to shill those products to earn a crust.

Bitcoin sovereignty allows you to be honest, because you don't need anything from anyone else, so have no fear to speak the truth.

I'm getting into abattoirs right now!

Self sovereign meat is the future.


Good morning.


I have slight concerns, amongst my friends, it is my wealthier ones that are starting to buy Bitcoin, my less well off friends still either can’t afford it, think its a scam or are too afraid of the downside to risk their limited fiat reserves.

I’m not so certain Bitcoin can flip the wealth in society, but I hope I’m wrong.


For context re: Craig Wright and Calvin Ayre and why there should be no mercy.

My life changed completely on March 29th, 2019. Almost five years ago now.

I had made several tweets, warning people about Craig Wright, and making my opinion about him clear. A matter of very public interest.

I was sent a legal letter on twitter DM, where it was made clear that I either had to apologize and acknowledge Craig as Satoshi, or they would file a libel case against me in UK.

When I didn't comply, Craig and Calvin put a public $5000 bounty on my identity and then firmly doxxed me after finding out who I was.

They proceeded to put private intelligence surveillance on me, that have tried to gain access to my social circle, both online and physically. Presence in 100s of groups. Monitoring my house. Producing regular, detailed reports on all my activity. Travelled where I travelled and so on. And god knows what else. This is still going on today.

I have been continuosly smeared and lied about on social media and in Coingeek, the publication owned by Calvin.

Threatened directly/personally with bankruptcy and worse by Calvin and his followers on twitter, with my real name, on countless occasions.

Anonymous phone calls with indirect threats.

My dad was fighting against cancer when this all started. I was dealing with constant legal pressure and threats throughout his fight. When he finally died late 2020, the legal pressure was at a peak and my funding situation was uncertain.

I've had to give up tons of private communication in discovery, to prove I had not been behind "an organized and vicious campaign against Craig."

I've had to turn down professional opportunities, since a good percentage of my bandwidth has been continuously occupied with defending myself legally. The amount of legal letters, hearings, appeals, judgments etc are beyond belief.

I've lived since 2019, with the constant knowledge that my house and belongings are on the line, and Craig's stated goal of bankrupting his enemies would be reality if I lost.

All the while I've tried to, and largely managed, to shield my child and family as well as possible, but I know all of this has put stress on them as well.

No mercy for these people.
Only Welcome to Law.

I'm all in on Bitcoin, so fiat banks don't worry me too much. But I am thinking hard about mitigating off ramps for fiat spending, which will still be required for the foreseeable future.

I have several crypto debit cards and I'm looking at  a couple of crypto bank accounts which are starting to pop up.


Multiple fiat shitcoin accounts mitigate this.

Bitcoin fixes this.


Turns out I care about abattoirs now.


That’s why I like finding out about other peoples lives.

You start to care about things that would otherwise pass you by.


At the start of 1989, I chose DECnet over TCP/IP because DEC supported Network mounted disks (LAD - Local Area Disk).

By the end of 1989, I had abandoned DECnet and successfully lobbied parliament to allow commercial traffic on the public Internet which ran TCP/IP.

Who knew it would take off?


Yep, did it in 1989 with this weird thing called the Internet and a bit later to the party with Bitcoin going all in during 2016.

Craig Wright is like a generic large language model  that is able to generate an endless amount of sentences that sound reasonable to the untrained layman, but he can't actually apply logic or first principles to what he's saying so there's no substance to it.

The way he's able to construct new stories is incredible. He creates a narrative so complicated that you can't process all the moving parts and he uses Brandolini's law to his advantage.

In these respects, Craig is an expert con man.

If I gave my un-edited opinion on this, it would appear patronising and belittling.

Americans would take great offence at this and rebuke it starting a verbal battle which would end up in a war which America would win because they have guns.

America therefore wins both the battle and the war, yet despite this, I prefer my position.

This is even more contradictory as when I’m in the U.S. I often go to a range and shoot the shit out of the targets, which I love to do.

But like a grandparent with their first grandson, I get to give the guns back and go home.

Yes in the UK "inflation" (which I try to type without ROFL) is officially at 4% having dropped from an official 10%, yet everything is at least 50% more expensive and many things have doubled.

You should also include shrinkflation into that equation.

When I point out this dilemma to F&F they accept the facts, but still think "I" don't understand.


Only 40% ?

TBH I was expecting more

Fantastic well done!

All this support in the community is amazing to see.


El Salvador are already charging $1M in Bitcoin for a passport.


The day has come! 🫣 For a while, I’ve been looking at the wonderful Bitcoin community, shyly, from the sidelines, supporting people and what they do for Bitcoin.

I thought I had nothing to say, or share with the world.

Then I realized, as a recruiter, that I had spent a fine amount of time daily, talking to job seekers about how they could improve their chances of landing their first Bitcoin-only job, or with the managers, how they could improve their recruiting. So it hit me- I have a lot to share, and I should write it down!

Today, I humbly present you my two ebooks. One is for job seekers in the Bitcoin industry, and another one is for start-ups on how to improve, or build from the ground up, their hiring processes.

I do this for the Bitcoin community, with the hope that we can create a common ground for job seekers and companies to better understand each other. For that reason, these guides are completely free, and no data will be collected.

I want to thank the people who supported me during this project:

I'm not sure what you're trying to say?

My experience is that NOSTR is more open to more ideas with less prejudice than existing platforms. Individual relays can censor as they wish, but there are many relays. No message can be muted unless the recipient chooses.

Yes there are users with large followings and users with small followings. Larger followed users are heard by more people, but we each find our audience and our groups.

Obtaining a large following requires effort, either through previously earned reuptation or building your reputation on a platform such as this.

Nostr, like all social media tools is what you make of it. Nostr only promises your uncensored content and free speech, nothing more.

You have no right to be heard only a right not to be censored.

The NATO bombing of Yugoslavia was the military operation against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia during the Kosovo War. According to NATO, the operation sought to stop human rights abuses in Kosovo, and it was the first time that the organisation used military force without the approval of the UN Security Council. The air strikes lasted from March 24, 1999 to June 10, 1999.

The bombing killed between 489 and 528 civilians, and destroyed bridges, industrial plants, public buildings, private businesses, as well as, barracks and military installations. Some of the buildings were left in ruins as a reminder of what happened.

If transaction values are private on your liquid network, which include swaps from L-BTC to L-USDT, does that mean it is virtually impossible for Tether to freeze assets as they cannot identify where they are on your network?

BREAKING - Julian Assange unwell, not at court for final appeal: lawyer

READ: https://insiderpaper.com/julian-assange-unwell-not-at-court-for-final-appeal-lawyer/


A decade ago I was in my car at a stoplight, and there was a bunch of seagulls eating a discarded bag of fast food in the intersection.

When the light turned green, the car in front of me went slowly to give the seagulls a chance to fly away, but they didn't. Instead, the car's tire just slowly ran over a whole pile of seagulls, who just kept going after the fast food as they were run over. I just watched horrified as this played out.

Every once in a while, I just wonder why the seagulls never got out of the way despite how slow the threat was.

Anyway, looking at the bond market reminded me of this again today.

Nice, very nice. I'm getting hungry and its only 11:30am here.

I didn't, but I do now.

A couple of months ago, I spent a 13 hour lunch explaining Bitcoin and banking to a pair of senior bankers with 40 years experience between them.

At 1:30am they were begging me to stay to keep explaining. I was done in and drunk.

This is important.

There’s lots of advice saying "Don't sell Bitcoin, HODL".

That's partially correct.

Bitcoin has succeeded as an asset, especially since spot ETF adoption.

However, it is still struggling as a currency. Success as a currency is more important than its success as an asset.

The message should be:

Don’t sell, HODL and spend.


You're a Bitcoiner, be happy.

Private funded initiatives are highly controversial here.

I'm not sure whether mixing a public service with private industry is a long term benefit, we will see.

Thank you for sharing.


In my country, the UK, our national health service has always worked junior doctors extremely hard. Pay is OK, but not amazing.

However as a junior doctor progresses, they are able to work less and over time, perhaps after10 years, they start to earn a good salary.

Senior doctors in the UK in the NHS can earn up to 250,000 GBP per annum ($300,000 USD).

Doctors in the UK in the private sector can earn perhaps double that, however the private sector is less challenging and so doctors are less experienced and so earn less as a result, more or less evening up the pay gap.

My wife was a podiatrist and service manager in the NHS (she has just moved jobs for the first time in her life). Her salary was OK, but not amazing, but the work was challenging.

The NHS is a soft employer, meaning you are very unlikely to be fired (compared to private industry). It therefore attracts a lot of people that hope for an easy work life.

Our national health service is struggling, primarily because of an aging population.

For example, my father has alzheimer's and is in a care home. He interacts with the NHS about once a month, yet I, currently in my 50's have seen a doctor about 3 times in my adult life.

It is a whole number represented by binary digits that can only have a positive range.

If you want to represent negative whole numbers, you sacrifice the most significant bit to represent the +/- reducing the positive range by half, but adding a negative equal range.

The one thing I've learned in my Bitcoin journey is, if you hear somebody described to you as an expert, always ask the question “Relative to who?”

Nobody is an expert of anything, they either know more things or less things than you. Even somebody who knows less things than you, can know stuff you don’t.

I don't know for definite, but because the transactions are private it would be impossible for Tether to freeze L-USDT as it couldn't identify where they were.

That's my assumption anyway.

For me Tether is a way for me to take profit without touching the fiat system. L-USDT makes that process private as well.

It's not called crypto because the transactions are hidden. Encryption is used to ensure only the coins owner can spend them.

Bitcoin was never private. In fact the opposite it is a "public ledger"

Monero is private and meant to be, which is why governments are clamping down hard on it.

While I'm a Bitcoiner, I do think privacy coins are important and should be supported as a government resistant payment layer.

The Uncensored


Coinbase were Big Blockers back in the day and extremely anti segwit.

Fun fact, Craig Wright's claims to be Satoshi divided the Big Block camp, who had majority and allowed developers to implement SegWit by stealth, preventing Big Blocks from hard forking Bitcoin.

This forked Bitcoin Cash, which would fork Craigs shitcoin Bitcoin Satoshi Vision.

It also made a lot of hard fork developers jump ship to Ethereum, which is why Ethereum hard forks are now common and have turned it into a shitcoin by hard forking to recover hacked funds and hard forking to move to Proof of Stake.

Proof of Stake will allow Blackrock to take control of Ethereum once turned into an ETF as the $200B needed to hijack Ethereum is pocket change to the $9T firm.

Bitcoin solves this.

Stop practising and perfect Bitcoin


Can I still shitpost to my IRL friends about Bitcoin on Facebook?


Can I only pay monthly, or do I get a discount if I pay analy?


When Bitcoin halves, you will.


Unless you're married to one.


Go to a bar, meet real people.

Maybe get a girlfriend for valentines.

How'd I do?


Agreed


And you haven't even bothered to mention cruise line websites.


Thanks 👍


When you stack a wrong statement upon a wrong statement by misunderstanding literally everything in a world that you thought you knew, but it turns out a 6 year old has a better understanding of.

If they were selling me burgers at a drive through it wouldn't matter, but these clowns think they run the money system.


Good in the short term and bad in the long term.


Now that's interesting.

I have a lightning node with several channels, but I only transact a small amount of lightning for NOSTR and Orangepilling F&F with Wallet of Satoshi,.

I'll check out the Lightning to Liquid development. That might be more interesting.

Thanks


You have a perfect marriage.

Congratulations.


Does the wife buying cushions for chairs on valentines day count?


For me:

Last two Pros are pros against “not bitcoin”, so I’m going to ignore them.

First con I feel should be a Pro

Fedimint con is not a Bitcoin con, so again going to ignore it.

Last con, wasn’t aware of. Thank you.

You told me stuff I didn’t know, but I still didn’t get a compelling reason to use it.

My previous summary was it has twice the transaction volume of Bitcoin and Privacy.

That’s still pretty much my view, with caveats on privacy.

For somebody like Adam to be involved with this, I am somehow disappointed.


This is already more fun than I can handle without annoying my family.


Does it have any utility apart from privacy?


I don't love it

Nope, dot com crash and hostile takeover of my company.

CBDCs do have compelling advantages, such as addressing the backless, cross border payments and easier crime detection.

That is the focus of governments and are genuine.

What governments and the uninformed are not aware of is the ability for nefarious control by the central controlling authority and the ability to subjugate its citizens.

Governments see this as a positive, the masses don’t see this at all.

We need to make certain the world understands what it is signing up for.

Bitcoiners have a duty to become dominant over CBDCs before they are widely established.

Separate the state from money.


A cup of tea and a hot shower in the morning are two consistent pleasures in life.


Basil is one of my favourite herbs.

Bitcoin is the future.

Success will come, but the journey is more rewarding than the destination. Enjoy the journey.

I forgot to take time to enjoy my fiat journey, I am making certain I enjoy this Bitcoin one.


I'm a lot older than you and had success down the fiat mines before this.

When you are my age, your wealth will be far in excess of mine.

Bitcoin does this.


We're definitely not, I don't work 😂


Two separate things:

Financial crises and the collapse of the USD as a global reserve currency taking down many other western fiat currencies, meaning many people are struggling in all kinds of industries. This is the movement of wealth and power from the west to the east and hopefully the establishment of Bitcoin as a new global reserve currency. The other option is the CBDC Yuan.

Tipping: The US and Japan are both extreme cases. Tipping should do what it says on the label. If you've had a good experience you optionally give more money. If your experience is normal or bad, you don't. The server is not dependent on the tip for their income and so it is a nice surprise when they receive it, but it is unexpected.

It is a second best option.

Web npub & wallet connect is easy. App based approach, a little harder.

Perhaps if service only, then you can use your existing npub or create a new one.

If it's physical product that requires shipping, then you may want to create a seperate npub to prevent doxing.


I've put the kettle on


Interesting.

Do you mean a built in npub key generation and possibly wallet integration?

Or perhaps links / FAQ on how to do this?

Are you thinking about requiring KYC for shipments if there are physical products?
