 What if the matrix is plugged into a bigger matrix? 

 We are all normies, just we are future normies. 

 Is the creator conscious? 

 😂 

 I liked the early Aussie ones, they were genuinely brilliant.

Especially, the first affair that happened.

My wife still watches them and the latest UK one, but you can see the script which tires me, so I stopped watching a long time ago.

While she is watching these, I spend my time trying to understand more about everything.



 

 😞  

 😂

I would do if she didn’t spend all her time watching this rubbish 😂

 A closer look at how UMA uses the Lightning Network
UMA enhances LNURL and Lightning Addresses by including compliance messages and currency exchange features. This upgrade, along with the Lightning Network's fast settlement and Bitcoin's global reach, ensures affordable worldwide money transfers.

LNURL is a protocol that simplifies Bitcoin transactions over the Lightning Network, making them more user-friendly by enabling actions like payments and login without complex addresses.

 👀  

 But if it gets in peoples consciousness that you@yourbank or you@yourdomain can be a payment address, that can only help Lightning in general, right? 

 I do, I really do.

I don't mean UMA, I mean you@yourdomain or you@yourorganisation

One address for communications, identity and payments.

Sure, most people will end up with the equivalent of a payment & identity hotmail address, but for me. I am mike@mikehardcastle.com 

You want to communicate with me: mike@mikehardcastle.com 
You want to find out who I am (NIP-05): mike@mikehardcastle.com 
You want to pay me: mike@mikehardcastle.com 

For me this is game changing.

This doesn't just separate money from the state it separates identity from the state.

And just like Bitcoin, it is for anyone, but not for everyone.

Also, it works equally well for those seeking anonymity.

For friends and family you are you@yourdomain

For online activity you are nym@privacydomain
 

 UMA is a publicity stunt and an orange pill for normies, that is my only interest in it.

 Bloody quantum scientists are the worst tho 🤣  

 There's a marriage market?

What day is it on and where? 

 My mum kept thanking the milkman for some reason 🤣  

 Welcome 🫂 

You will always know the people you follow because you store that on relays.

You will never really know your true follower count as this is based on client discovery across relays.

Here is a different view of your follower count:
https://nostr.band/?q=npub18lmyh47aua400qaf230zlv7wsnvjr0nv3sz08hrvf7nnfnm7hqfq9599uz


If you look at some high count npubs like  @jb55 you will see they have a follower count ranging from 2K to 1M depending on client.

This is a feature, not a bug 😂  

 Yes, there's all sorts of discovery options. 

 🫂 

 I think someone needs their domain name verified with a NIP-05 by following this guide:

 Everybody is on the Bitcoin journey, some are further along than others 😂

 I have a bottle of Arran founders reserve in the safe, (put there to prevent the in-laws from downing it), would that do? 

 It was actually a gift from my Scottish Father in law, who invested in them in the early 90's. He got 2 cases of Founders reserve bottles, which he distributed to the family in 2005.

I'm the only person left who hasn't drunk theirs, so I have to lock it up whenever my wives family visit 😂

A little bit of gloating maybe? 😂  

 Ahhh, you have an evil plan too 🫂  😂  

 Do you mean start working? 😂  

 I have no fiat to DCA, I'm all in. 

 🥺  

 I have vintage Whisky 😃  

 yes, yes I will 😂  

 🫂 

 We are all vintage 😂 

 Hey Begemot,

This is the last boat I sailed:

https://www.pocruises.com/cruise-ships/arvia/overview

I don’t sail right now, but will probably learn when I’m in Barbados waiting for my residency. I have several friends that sail, so would be great to join them.

Gonna probably visit South America next to look at 3 flag options:

If we’re in the same vicinity would be happy to meet another Bitcoiner for a beer.

Watch this space 😃 

 💪🫡 

 Thanks  

 If your desk is in space and shielded from the sun, then easy peasy. Just get a beaker filled with Helium 😂 

 Sorry 🫂

Hitting the hard stuff after dinner just for your vicarious pleasure 😂 

 Send videos 🙏 

 Thanks 🙏 

 Thanks 🫂  

 Thanks 🫂

 $35 dollars a day 😱

No booze? 😱

On another subject what tricks can you do?

Are you like the David Copperfield of the high seas?

Can you make your Cruise ship disappear? 😂 

 I’ll have you know it was a completely pissed cheesy grin 😂 

 Fair enough 😂 

 Christmas is banned til December in our household 😂 

 We don't know how many we added.

That's a feature and a benefit 🤣  

 I added one 😂 

 🤣 

 What about 🍆 🧈  ? 

 The union for managers and professionals in public service?

https://www.fda.org.uk/

I’ll try, but not sure they’ll be much help 😂 

 Except for the Chinese, Russians and Palestinians. 

 I installed it on a VPS and ran it as a single instance.

That was a couple of months ago.

Loved it, but it would only show npubs and not NIP-05 and names 😔  

 GM

We have sunshine here too, which means our builder is able to paint, which means I have to pay him, which means I have to sell shitcoins.

So all is good 😂  

 I have some BCH going spare after my trip to St. Kitts. 

 I've just checked, my BCH has gone up from £94 to £118.

I feel dirty 😂  

 Have a fabulous time 💜 

 😂
