You mean, as to why strike requires KYC?

Jack Mallers has been quite clear that he's conforming to all regulations because he's a businessman first and wants the business to be successful and accessible to as many people as possible. I can't deny he's brought a great product to market as long as you are aware of the KYC nature of it and use it accordingly.


So if you link your Strike (which is KYC) to your nsec, then you have KYC'd your nsec


I mean, I have strike and I have Nostr but I wouldn't link them, I won't even link nostr and fountain because then my email (required for the fountain sign up) is linked to my nsec... maybe I'm just a paranoid crypto anarchist? 😂


Doesn't KYC NOSTR get you spooked? 🤔


Highly recommend! Fun little project and worth it for the results 😎

Since we're all busy celebrating that Ross will be free Day One, did you know that the US Government is using Ross' conviction to go after Tornado Cash?

In the Tornado Cash case, the government directly cites the Silk Road prosecution, arguing that neither Ross, nor Roman Storm, needed to have conspired with the users of their software to be held accountable for the crimes they committed.

The Government calls Storm's and Ulbricht's cases "analogous" – and its the same argument applied to convict Roman Sterlingov.

Unless Ross' conviction is overturned, anyone developing software that the Government doesn't like is fair game.

The dangerous precedent his conviction set will continue to be used to be used by the US Government to overstep its boundaries and hold software developers accountable for crimes they did not commit.

Ross Ulbricht should never have been in prison. And neither should others prosecuted under the same flawed argumentation.

Freeing Ross is not enough. Overturn US v. Ulbricht day one.

Only time that I remember driving a car in my dream I really struggled keeping the tires on the tarmac, literally. So I decided to just fly the car around, that was fun 😅

Another time I got deep into a lucid dream and thought it might be fun to ride around on a tron bike. So I willed one into existence and started driving it around the city, that was pretty fun and all bit I had the idea to take it to the highway and really push the limits. Once I was on a long straight road I thought the word "boost" and the bike just travelled like a mile in a few seconds and I really felt some kinda G's! It fealt so incredibly intense and exhilarating that I woke up laughing in tears of joy 🤣


It seems that my stacking goal is becoming less attainable every hour 😅 can't complain though

It is highly likely that you are living in a simulation of your own design.

Amen! Always seek to raise you concious awareness 💪🏼


This is solid advice for (non traumatized) teenage boys.

However, if you want to be a real 💯 Man 💪🏼, the way that God intended you to become... you need to be able to sit comfortably with your feminine aspect (emotions: it's a scary word for many men). The strongest male role models that I have had in my life were incredibly high T, but could also cry at appropriate times, happy or sad, and were masters at communication and empathy.

Every human has this psychological/emotional dichotomy of masculine and feminine "energies", the world is not black and white, and if you are not in touch with both aspects and how they are balanced within you, then you are still only half an adult.

Suppression of emotions does not work forever, not without severe negative consequences on you and the ones close to you.

Go build something, create value to others, give from what you are given, MAKE the world a better place and when you get knocked down on your arse so hard that you don't see the way back up, find someone to talk to, preferably a friend or family member, but if they aren't available... maybe a priest/religious leader, failing that... a therapist might work for you? But do be careful... there are wolves in the forest (i.e. therapists just looking for a pay cheque)

Control the human population by stunting our ability to reproduce... 🤷🏻♂ or something like that 🤣


These are great pounts! 🤗 Do you have experience with steiner/woldorf/montesori?


This is a great point, the Tariqa/Madrassa model, as someone who wrestles with God, I admire this philosophy of education! We could learn something in the west from this. 🤗


This has been on my mind a lot lately. My child struggles emotionally with the conventional education system, to the point of debilitation, but we are not in a position to homeschool. They are consistently top of their class so they're sure bright enough, but they have certain health conditions which make it difficult to be in the formal structured setting. We have considered steiner/woldorf but are concerned that they won't get the extra required assistance there.

I believe the future of education should be more like this AI driven homechooling but with active communal social clubs for kids, under a sound money economy where a single income can support a family again this is a possibility for all... but we're a long way from that.

                        -THE ISLAND LIFE-

Here are 10 lessons from the book "The Rebel Talent: Why It Pays to Break the Rules at Work and in Life" by Francesca Gino:
https://image.nostr.build/7938bea26f0e676afc71e2e939f002d8f2b7f86ace5e75510d3258fb944ccc27.jpg
1. Embrace Nonconformity: Embracing your rebellious instincts can lead to innovation, creativity, and personal growth. Don't be afraid to challenge the status quo and think outside the box.

2. Question Authority: Questioning authority and challenging established norms can lead to positive change and progress. Don't blindly accept rules or traditions—instead, critically evaluate them and consider alternative perspectives.

3. Take Calculated Risks: Taking calculated risks is essential for growth and success. Don't let fear of failure hold you back from pursuing opportunities or trying new things.

4. Seek Autonomy: Autonomy is key to fostering creativity and productivity. Don't micromanage or impose unnecessary restrictions—instead, empower individuals to take ownership of their work and make decisions autonomously.

5. Embrace Diversity of Thought: Diversity of thought leads to better decision-making and problem-solving. Don't surround yourself with like-minded individuals—instead, seek out diverse perspectives and embrace constructive dissent.

6. Cultivate Curiosity: Curiosity is essential for learning, growth, and innovation. Don't be afraid to ask questions, explore new ideas, and seek out new experiences.

7. Learn from Failure: Failure is an inevitable part of the learning process. Don't fear failure—instead, embrace it as an opportunity for growth, learning, and resilience.

8. Challenge the Status Quo: Challenging the status quo can lead to breakthroughs and advancements. Don't settle for mediocrity or complacency—instead, strive for continuous improvement and innovation.

9. Build Resilience: Resilience is essential for navigating challenges and setbacks. Don't let obstacles deter you—instead, persevere, adapt, and bounce back stronger than before.

10. Be True to Yourself: Authenticity is key to living a fulfilling and meaningful life. Don't conform to others' expectations or norms—instead, stay true to your values, beliefs, and passions.

Sounds like you got a fat zap 😅


I've heard about Calyx OS, but I have no experience or very little knowledge about it, I kinda disregarded it when they stood against Richard Stallman a few years back. But I guess if the software is good and open source then it's possible to seperate the quality of the product from the personal views of the developers 🤷🏻♂ maybe it's a good middle ground, do you have experience with it?


NEW CLIENT ANNOUNCEMENT
https://m.primal.net/LDNn.mp4
I wanted to build on nostr and I asked OpenSats for a grant to work on ONOSENDAI one day per week. I scaled back my hours at my fiat job and began part time nostr development to work on a novel metaverse project where all actions require proof of work. This was the beginning of my nostr career. Today is a huge milestone in that journey.

It took me 52 Fridays from proof of concept to reality, and now ONOSENDAI functions as the first cyberspace client.

Today I present to you the thermodynamic update to #ONOSENDAI https://onosendai.tech
#welcometocyberspace folks. It's finally here. Check it out on desktop for the best experience. More updates for a better Mobile experience are in the pipeline.

I'm working on a video to explain cyberspace and how to use ONOSENDAI and I'll post it ASAP.

The short tutorial is this:
- WASD for movement (relative to camera)
- Q = down, E = up
- ESC to put camera behind avatar
- Mouse Click and drag to move camera
- Mouse Wheel to change Throttle

Sections of the app:

LOCAL
This is the on-the-ground cyberspace view. The shiny polygon you begin your journey in is your Home Coordinate, which is simply your hex pubkey. Your journey always starts here if you derezz (or get derezzed) at any point, but your progress is saved to nostr and your avatar will travel even when you're away from the app!

SECTOR
This is the 10,000ft view of cyberspace. Nearby sectors are automatically scanned for objects of interest and mapped in 3D: other avatars, hyperjumps, shards, and constructs (coming soon).

GLOBAL
This is the 100,000,000ft view of cyberspace. The staggeringly large full coordinate system is shown.

BUILD
This tab is a 3D editor that lets you build 3D objects called Shards. Shards can be mined and planted wherever you are at in cyberspace for everyone to admire. In the LOCAL tab you can mine and deploy a Shard at your current position. The size and complexity of the shard determines its mining difficulty.

Terminology:

- coord - a cyberspace coordinate is a 256-bit number, just like event ids and public keys.
- chain - the nostr events representing your movement which contain proof-of-work and are linked together via hash
- sector - a 2^30 cube area of cyberspace
- G - Gibson, the unit of measurement in cyberspace named after William Gibson (the author who invented the concept of cyberspace)
- plane - The last bit in a cyberspace coordinate determines its plane. Depending on your pubkey you will either be in D-Space or I-Space. You will be able to switch planes in a future update. All points in D-Space map to a real point in reality, including Earth. All points in I-Space are virtual.

Despite the polish I was able to muster, ONOSENDAI is still in its infancy, and so is cyberspace. It's up to you to explore, build, discover, and push it forward, because unlike other metaverses, this one belongs to everyone and is controlled by no-one. That's the whole point!

I would like to invite all #cyberspace enthusiasts to join my new ditto instance at https://straylight.cafe and use your nostr identity to ask questions, discuss cyberspace, futurism, and how to build this new world together. I think it's going to be a lot of fun. I want to shut down the ONOSENDAI telegram group in favor of Straylight Café because it's nostr based, so hop on over and make it happen!

When you join Straylight.cafe, it isn't connected to any external relays on purpose, so you must edit your profile and customize it for how you want your npub to appear on this site. Whatever you post on Straylight stays there and doesn't go out to the rest of nostr unless you do so manually. It's like an open telegram group -- public, but not broadcasted by default.

And so concludes my OpenSats grant. I want to thank so many people for supporting me, encouraging me, and helping me along this journey.
I am going to try to list everyone I can and I apologize if I miss someone:
OpenSats and the whole team there
Gsovereignty and Bitkarrot for having me on their podcast. This was a huge break for me into the nostr scene.
Johns and Marina for encouraging me and inviting me to awesome bolt.fun hackathons which were a wonderful opportunity to meet great people!

all of my faithful and beloved reply guys who hype me up when I post about cyberspace
Everyone in the telegram group and everyone who has zapped, tested, and waited patiently for this
Everyone who believed in me and the skeptics who pushed me to the finish line

This is just the beginning. Nostr isn't just for tweets. It's for cyberspace, and I think that's a big deal. Thanks everyone 👾💜

I only have to share a human story, which i believe is mildly above average in interest... and therfore maybe interesting to others... but maybe i'm wrong... 🤷🏻♂ not really anything in it for me, but if there is anything in it for anyone else then i would want to share, that's part of the human experience right? I suppose the thing i'm concerned about doxxing is the $5 wrench attack 😅 but ultimately that in itself would be pretty futile due to my pauper status... 🤣🤷🏻♂


This is too much... I cant handle this 😅


Are you trying to tell us you're a bed wetter? 🤣


That is the reality i struggle with 😅 I would often like to share photo's or deeply personal informations, for the stake of the story. But at the same time i deeply value my privacy... I guess privacy wins🤷🏻♂😅


Feels like early 2000's youtube 🤣 big props, love it!


Feels like early 2000's youtube 🤣 bog props, love it!


On the subject of "self doxxing"...

I struggle to know what I should or shouldn't share... I mean I am a nobody that anyone would be interested in, so I guess as a low priority individual i can probably safely share my local surroundings?

How easy would it be for someone to figure out who i am from photo's i might occasionally share?

Lisbon?


Spot on, it's about balance. It's about being aware of each others strengths and weaknesses and each partner being able to step back and control their ego when the time is right. There are times when I see my wife is more capable at dealing with a situation and I let her take the lead, there are times when I realise I can handle a situation better and so I step up to the plate.

My wife and I are a finely tuned team and we are equals in the home and with parenting. We respect each other and do our best to put our egos to one side. Of course we're not perfect and it has taken over 10 years to reach this level of cohesion.

It's not easy, but it's worth the work. I also recommend a course of couples therapy. You can never learn too much 👌🏼


Ah, you've discovered therianthropy? It's a rising trend in my kids school. It's a tricky one because I think it's very healthy for kids to play make believe, even some adults like to LARP and we all have different methods of play or escapism. But I find it quite insidious when it becomes about identity.

What is fuelling the modern identity crises of teens and children? Perhaps a symptom of spiritual sickness 🤷🏻♂


Thank you for that input, I appreciate it and hope that I can come to feel that way. I have concerns about the crises of identity that young people are feeling these days but I don't know if i'm being over concerned.

I think it is healthy to play make believe, we all need fun and escapism in our lives. But this therianthropy seems a bit more than make believe... it seems like an identity crises and it's not the only form I see in the world today. I care deeply and worry about people and I worry that people are being misled and/or are falling into unhealthy ways of thinking, but I simultaneously believe in live and let live...

I don't know if I care too much or too little... 😅


Anyone here heard about therians?

Yes, in theory. I'm just a bit jaded 😅


I'm not being deliberately difficult by the way 😆 I just believe people too quickly forget nuance these days. There are very few absolutes.


Eh... I hear what your saying and don't necessarily disagree... but I do feel that this attitude falls dangerously close to "trust the science". The point of science is to be constantly questioning and seeking for better models, very few big brain scientists will admit to truely knowing things as science is really a series of theories and models used to explain phenomena until a better theory or model replaces it.

But yes, we have definitely made good sway in the fundimental sciences and we have better models now than ever before in recorded history, and there sure is a whole lot of BS snake oil out there, but conventions should still be open to be questioned in search of a better way, if someone is so inspired to pick up that mantle. And some sudo-science has been precursor to working quantum physics theories, so we shouldn't necessarily write things off just because we don't understand them. But we should definitely be careful with such things. 🤗


I'm with you on that sentiment in 9 out of 10 cases, but there's definitely nuance to everything. Some scientific studies are either rigged or at the very least skewed depending on where the funding comes from. 🤷🏻♂


Always a pleasure to help 🤗😘


"Today" by which metric? We've been through a few different calender systems since then 😅


The noise and impracticality of these things makes me highly doubtful of any future mainstream adoption. However, I could see a new racing sport being built around them! I would watch that 😎


Decentralized social networks were my main focus during my PhD. After I graduated early last year, my classmates Younes,  nostr:npub1f6kxlwfx57gmq6lrlmh2l3ry2n094gd7883gpvgz4wa3jwg3ua3q3vzhxn , and I went all in on building Yakihonne.  This marks our fourth year exploring decentralized social networks.

For the first three years, we built a well-known decentralized research media platform in Asia. We experimented with decentralized creation, funding, and moderation to make media truly decentralized. From 2020 to early 2023, those were some of our happiest times—joining hackathons, winning grants, and focusing on decentralized media. We managed to achieve decentralized content creation for research communities.

In February 2023, we built a decentralized media client based on Nostr and secured some funding. In the early days of a small team, doing the right things and maintaining funding is crucial. Nostr's early phase, combined with the challenges many decentralized media projects have faced, made securing funding particularly tough.

I really believe in the Chinese saying, "After endless mountains and rivers that leave doubt whether there is a path out, suddenly one encounters the shade of a willow, bright flowers and a lovely village.” 山重水复疑无路，柳岸花明又一村。

At the Bitcoin Global Summit in the US, I met nostr:npub1ughzzpqra3hly3dqw0ta6n8al8xpyn703u2vjd2dx6me3l7y0jlq7xktzm , npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s  , nostr:npub19qharf5037zxxp8dgws7ukcxqjvxt9vq3rf3gqye94ga85jmu2dsvyy3ww , nostr:npub1j8y6tcdfw3q3f3h794s6un0gyc5742s0k5h5s2yqj0r70cpklqeqjavrvg and others who gave us much encouragement and inspiration. In NV, I was asked if our projects on Nostr were competitors. My belief has always been that we are in a positive sum game—building the ecosystem together and creating growth, rather than being competitors. This is the nature of Nostr and a necessity for the future development of the world. The virtual digital world is vast enough, and we don’t need to cling to zero-sum thinking from the industrial age.

On my way back to Singapore from NV, a series of delays turned a 24-hour journey into 40 hours. Luckily, I still met my PhD supervisor. We had a great conversation about publishing and media through the lens of AI, social computing, advertising, and intelligent philosophy . Over the past 20 years, my supervisor has spent almost half of each year traveling to different countries, promoting the development of AI and complex systems. Now he’s more focused on making sure his students stay healthy.

Over the past two years, I received a few invitations for journal submissions, but I had to delay them due to my busy schedule. Moving forward, I plan to publish our latest research as papers, introducing Nostr and decentralized social networks to more academics, and inviting more researchers to join the Nostr ecosystem.

Right before boarding, I received support from an international academic organization, which really lifted my travel fatigue. Together, we’ll be planning a series of initiatives to engage the academic community in discussions about Nostr.

A big thanks to my team and nostr:npub14sq5ujkfavz8dpkduyf2e8zkpvakykl0gjfptyjxteaffkcecnxq8pgqkq  for supporting Yakihonne and helping us grow.

Money electric: The Bitcoin mystery.

It's a new HBO documentary trying to discover who Satoshi is. 👍🏻

Tbh I'll probably end up watching it anyway 😅 just out of curiosity. But pleanty of people were posting clips here this morning of the conclusion.


HBO doc. Thinks they uncovered Satoshi. But they got it wrong because they didn't interview me, and we are all satoshi 🤷🏻♂ (except Craig Write)


#GM ☀

Thank you #plebchain for saving me the time otherwise spent watching that documentary.

IQ 200 theory: the creator of that documentary is a Bitcoiner and knows how rediculous it was but made it anyway to raise NPC awareness of the magic internet money 🤷🏻♂ probably not, but it would be a meta move 😅


Looks like someone was messing around with the radar settings 🤷🏻♂ could be a trainee getting familiar with the equipment, could be a malfunction. Need to remember that the people operating these equipment are usually civil meteorologists. They could easily just be playing around with the radar 🤷🏻♂

Thank you for sharing your inner beauty 🥲 nostr is a beautiful place to meet humanity. 🫂


🤗 poetry is an incredible medium of expression. I used to write poems but I've lost touch with that side of myself. I hope I find it again one day.

From my archive:

Sea water and wine flow through my veins,
Yet a pearl is hidden in the depths of my being.
The mollusc which holds it guards it from pollution,
But the pearl is aware, eternally all-seeing,
And the mollusc is hardened, covered in dirt.
Forgive me sweet pearl when I'm too afraid to meet you,
The ocean is so deep and I am so weak.
I wish I was stronger, to drown and to greet you,

To know you,
to see you,
to be you,
Complete.


The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

But it doesn't eliminate the spectrum of good and evil, 🤗

Many people forget that most religions suggest the middle path. And regardless of what anyone believes it would be foolish to disregard centuries of wisdom.

We understand each other, thankyou for the discourse and God bless you 🙏🏼


Indeed 🤷🏻♂ can't argue with the first two points, but everyone has a right to try and define good/bad. But if you are a psychopath as you say then I see why you don't comprehend this and struggle with apologies 🤷🏻♂ I just hope you can recognise when you may be harming others and prevent that from happening 🤷🏻♂ I understand from your words that you do 🤗


"Impossible as everything is interlinked."

You can effect others without infringing upon them, thus of course it's possible, but we all make mistakes sometimes... that's what apologies are for you see 😉

"Does it matter if the person who initially created it meant it for good. See creator of the plastic bag & how that turned out for an example."

Plastic bags aren't bad, and neither is inventing them, they were and are a great invention when used responsibly and recycled appropriately, but if you throw it into nature THAT is the irresposible (bad) action.

"Gifted children are often exploited. Should we as adults apologize for the crimes others committed using us? When does intent become malice?"

Children are innocent of all things. Teens are a grey area, resposibility begins but forgiveness must be generous. Adults must absolutely take responsibility for their actions.

"Whoops 😬 WHO is held accountable?"

At the very least you must hold yourself accountable, that is part of being a functioning adult. Depending on your belief, maybe God? That's up to you. If you can't hold yourself accountable maybe therapy is needed, nothing to be ashamed of there we all must work on ourselves 🤗 and release ourselves from the actions of others, unless we feel inspired to help, but know your boundaries.

"Why I continue to ask questions …"

Excellent! 😁 always ask questions! Children sadly often lose the "Why?" When adults get annoyed with them, but "why?" Is the most important question of all. 😁

"Again: if it benefits more humanity than just a few, does that matter? It does to me."

🤔 I mean, if you have the oportunity to save someones life then of course run late! 😅 things aren't black and white, everything has nuance, there are better actions and worse actions, another good example of why apologies are important 😆

"You do you & respect that others may see things from different views. We can all get along. Not everyone seeks to prove their worth to others. Some of us have always believed in humanity & will continue to fight for them. Despite few understanding our existence nor our reasoning. Accepted reality of that at three years old. No sass. 💁🏻♀ "

Love, light and prosperity to you 😁✌🏼🙏🏼 I mean no harm in my words, I simply enjoy deep conversations and exploring the why. I am sorry if that caused you any stress 😉🫂


Disturbing...


Skinsuit 😅


I honestly believe everyone has the possibility of redemption with the right help. For some it's easier and others much harder, hardest for those with sociopathic/psychopathic tendencies... but still not impossible. Just highly improbable.

Best thing you can do is know your own boundaries and keep such people at an arms length.


You shouldn't trust him to be your friend then. Possibly a sociopath.


If he's failing to change a known character flaw then he is allowing himself to be a bad person, this doesn't mean that he can't change and sincerely repent. But until he changes his ways and stops infringing upon others, he is being a bad person... maybe he isn't a bad person, but he is BEING a bad person.


You don't believe in property rights?


Ok... semantics, let's be clear about it then. Correct, one shouldn't feel the need to apologise for being true to themselves, so long as it doesn't infringe upon another.

However there are objectively bad actions an individual can make, defined at the very least by harm upon others or more extensively as wasting anothers resources. These actions should be repented and corrected. Everyone makes mistakes, but repeated mistakes at some point become negligence and a will to resist self improvement.

Some people these days might consider being constantly late to appointments a personality trait, fair enough some people have adhd or other condition. But it doesn't excuse you from setting up systems in your life that will prevent you from wasting other peoples time.

I am honestly a very forgiving person with matters like this, my wife is like the above mentioned adhd person who has a tendency to be late, but she recognised the problem and set up systems to mitigate the issue.


Violating anothers property


Perspective is often helpful, thanks 🙏🏼 and strength to you 💪🏼


I wish these were my worst problems but I don't over share.


It's a good point 😄 it stands to reason that a smaller service is easier to maintain. Perhaps German trains are a victim of their own success.


That's a fair take, Germany is impressively well connected by rail, credit where credit is due. But i've never experienced delays as bad as in Germany. Spain and Portugal for sure have less services but in my experience they're more reliable, same can be said for the nordic countries.

Is someone aware of what's causing the deterioration of the train service in Germany? #asknostr i'd be interested to know.


Well, Eminem making me bawl my eyes out was not on my 2024 bingo card 🥲 kids are such a blessing!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaK9Wi5ho0o


I had the pleasure of using German trains last week... first train was 5 minutes late, not too bad, but then we stopped somewhere for 15 minutes, waiting for another train or something. In total we were 30 minutes late to my stop where i was supposed to change trains... missed my connection and had to wait another hour and a half for the next one... arrived to final destination two hours later than intended... incredible.

Well, I assume that it's because it's so energy intensive and he believes it is predominantly supplied by fossil fuels. He is of course mostly reading msm and although he is quite open minded he works in a trad corporate position so he's surrounded by sheeple.


Indeed.


His last comment was that Bitcoin will be screwed if the carbon tax gains any ground


😅 whilst ultimately true I think it's a bit too pedantic to win the argument 🤣

Depends on the type of debt and the interest rate.

Consumer debt with it's high interest rates is bad in any arena.

Low interest debt is potentially profitable if used wisely.

Lessons learned from Samourai case so far
- don't write anything down
- nearly every device was extracted
- never count on the state to follow the law
- btc for lawyers can't come from you
- never tie personal id to socials
- multi jurisdictional servers are not secure
- backend servers are a liability
- keep it tight and tidy
- the way to set precedent is to catch a case


Very well said!

It saddens me to see the people of faith disputing each other when they should be working together against the greater enemy. Far more unites our hearts under God than divides us by wickedness. May God be the judge of each person.

I strongly believe that the time of "my faith is better than yours" dick swinging contests serves "satan" far more than God!

I looks forward to that, those are both games on my radar (although I rarely have time for games these days 😅) Nier is a game I always overlooked due to the Waifu looking image, but maybe i'll have to give it a chance some day.

Currently playing through, good fun 👍🏻 I also usually only play games these days when they contain some depth.

Well, as bitcoin scales, higher layers will be intergrated and mSats will at some point become a thing


And would it be the first relay to propogate the note receiving the sats or some sort of split...? Positing cost would have to be quite high to make a split work across all relays 🤷🏻♂


Or if the minimum post cost was greater than one sat it could be a 50/50 split (customizable as other splits are) between relay and 1st reply


Very fair, that should've been the first thought... as I said, more coffee required 😅


GM ☀ and PV💜🧡

Could such a system be instated whereby a note has a minimum cost of 1 sat (with option to increase) and the sat(s) are set up like a "bounty" where the first person to reply would claim the sat(s)?

This could come alongside a feed filtering option to only view notes greater than x sats, I think a system like this could be very interesting.

Although, while writing I just realised the problem with this... 😣 fucking ReplyGuy would sweep up all the sats... could it work on a pay it forward system? Where replies also cost to post and have the same sort of "bounty system" 🤔 I guess this would lead to sats perpetually locked up in a loop 😣

Don't mind me... early morning thinking out loud 🤣 I think I need another coffee

I was exagerating and meant no offence 😅

I've been on many work trips in north Germany and almost lived there part time for a year. The only shops I could always pay card was supermarkets, everywhere else kept making up excuses like "card machine broken", "wifi isn't working", "network is down" But I understand that it's actually more to do with German people preferring to transact in cash (which I support for privacy reasons) and not wanting to pay the card transaction fee (which I also support because I back independent traders wherever possible).

But if i'm wrong please tell me why I could never pay by card 😆


Broooo, have you ever been to Germany? They never had card payments in the first place! 🤣


I totally agree! 😅 I would just like a little break now and then 🤣 I think I just need to learn to switch off the engine and chill sometimes... it's all self inflicted of course 🤷🏻♂ I just seem to be a glut for punishment 😅

Your phone is spying on you. Your apps are spying on you. Your websites, search engine, fitness tracker, smart watch, IoT device, EVERYTHING is collecting anything it can and sending it off to be stored, cross referenced, and sold.

Data is the new oil.

So what? I don't care if Google knows I like motorcycles. By itself one data point isn't a big deal but once you start bringing everything together...

Who are you talking to? When and how long did you talk to them? Where did you go? How often do you go there? On and on the profile starts to become overwhelmingly invasive.

Right now it is extremely cheap and easy to collect and store the data but it's hard and expensive to cross reference and tabulate the data down to the individual. But in the extremely near future using AI and faster processers, data profiles for sale go from white men between 25 - 30, with this education level, and background like XYZ to -> John loves motorcycls and steak.

Suddenly your insurance premiums are way higher than your friends because you partake in dangerous activities and eat too much red meat. You get denied that loan because you invest in risky assets and it raises your risk factors to pay it back. That job that you applied to never responded because they already ran you through the algorithm and you don't fit the culture.

Protect your data and privacy now before its too late.

This is very interesting.

As someone who works in the maritime industry I see that there are some huge hurdles, such as:

-Would all countries allow operation of a reactor in their coastal waters? Debateable,

-What to do with all the wasted energy when the vessel is idle due to reactors running constantly? Maybe bitcoin miners on board ships or connecting to a countries grid and selling the energy to the port state?

-At $6mil per unit it is waaay to expensive, the price would likely have to quarter for it to become viable, and even then it's still like three times more than an equivalent conventional diesel generator. But if your not paying for bunker (marine diesel) over the next 5-7 years, maybe it starts balancing costs? I have no idea what it costs to refuel a nuclear reactor soo... 🤷🏻♂

-Vessels would need to employ and train up nuclear engineers, this will be another huge expense putting off investment.

I see a path forward for this technology, it's not impossible, but there are lots of stones in the road.

Great stuff 😁👌🏼 you don't mess about 😎


I guess the power consumption of such a device would be quite low, I can imagine wiring in a small battery and solar panel to create a portable off grid version 😁 I love these sort of projects, Kudos to all involved!


It would definitely be a higher risk target, but I guess if it's secured within a business and left emptied and visibly open every night the risks could be minimized as with conventional ATM's. I would love to see these appearing in my local convenience stores! 😅 have you looked into the legality of hosting these devices?


Aaah I see! It's for buying sats, not selling, got it 👌🏼 I can imagine more use cases for a sats to cash version of the machine due to all retailers already accepting cash (is that something we might get in 5he future?), but I guess if a retailer is interested in hosting a machine like this they will probably just accept sats anyway making that kind of machine redundant... but this cash to sats version is surely better for driving adoption 👍🏻 I love to see this kind of innovation 👍🏻


Very nice! What's your primary use case for this device? This is the first time I've encountered it but I love the concept!

I can imagine it being posted at a community market to enable Bitcoiners to easily withdraw cash for the traders who are still no-coiners.

And due to the privacy of cash and lightning this is great 👌🏼

A very quick internet search of the history of revolution shoes there are at the very least three successful non-violent revolutions in the past 100 years, arguably even as many as 20 depending a little on the definition of "peaceful revolution".

So i guess real revolution can be achieved through non violent means as some of these led to significant regime changes.

Good afternoon nostr.

I have been taking personal privacy seriously for several years now, and while I am presently still in practice a Bitcoin maxi, I am Monero curious. I see the value add it holds as a medium of exchange even if it is not a good store of value. Can it be the layer two we've been looking for? (Yes I know it isn't a layer two in any way shape or form, i'm being poetic)

I know the basics but if anyone has sources for a deep dive on monero I would be very interested, all forms of media welcome and i'm looking for the positives and the negatives. Seen all the Bitcoin university content re XMR.

God bless Chat GPT amirite!? 🤣


Trusting a person is not the same as being willing to vouch for them.

In the former you have personal risk, in the latter you've doubled your liability.


I am flabbergasted that this is even a conversation thread 🤦🏻♂


I might take a more nuanced stance on this than most... because reality is, that as humans being, we need a fulfilling occupation to help make life meaningful. Is this restaurant a dream for your parents or a means to an end?

If it is a dream and something they will be willing to persue and cherish with passion and intention for a long time, they should go for the restaurant, a life lived well in the service of others is infinitely more valuable than a life of luxury.

However, if they see this restaurant as a way to increase wealth and one day get rich enough to retire... probably just buy the Bitcoin.

That's my 2 sats anyway...

"I asked an elderly woman once what it was like to be old and to know that the majority of her life was now behind her.

She told me that she has been the same age her entire life. She said the voice inside of her head had never aged. She has always just been the same girl. Her mother's daughter. She had always wondered when she would grow up and be an old woman.

She said she watched her body age and her faculties dull but the person she is inside never got tired. She never aged. She never changed.

Remember, our spirits are eternal. Our souls are forever. The next time you encounter an elderly person, look at them and know they are still a child, just as you are still a child and children will always need love, attention and purpose."

The world is increasingly designed to depress us. Happiness isn't very good for the economy. If we were happy with what we had, why would we need more?
How do you sell an anti-ageing moisturiser? You make someone worry about ageing. How do you get people to vote for a political party? You make them worry about immigration. How do you get them to buy insurance? By making them worry about everything. How do you get them to have plastic surgery? By highlighting their physical flaws. How do you get them to watch a TV show? By making them worry about missing out.
How do you get them to buy a new smartphone? By making them feel like they are being left behind.
To be calm becomes a kind of revolutionary act. To be happy with your own non upgraded existence. To be comfortable with our messy, human selves, would not be good for business.

Here is another #MorningMeditation for you,

I hope you all have a day which is not terrible

"Somewhere along the way, there develops within the soul a yearning that can no longer be ignored, a craving for the great love affair. We feel it drawing ever closer. It is the greatest of them all. It cannot fail. It is all consuming. It is incomparable. It is the love affair with our own true nature and the source from which it comes. The desire is in all of us but, more often than not, it is ignored for other interests. We wrestle with each interest, trying to make it work, growing with each adventure until the light has grown bright enough for us to reach for it." - Donna Goddard, Love's Longing.

Too important to TLDR: 👇🏼

Remember the story where our ancestors settled in the new world? And then they decided to tell the king GFY and fought for a FREE WORLD because they felt it was nonsense for the monarchy to dictate their sovereign liberties?

What happened to the FREE WORLD and how do we get it back?

Story time: 📚

The Act of 1871: A Turning Point in American Sovereignty

To all freedom-loving Bitcoiners and people of the world, understanding the Act of 1871 is crucial if we want to revolutionize sovereignty and restore true liberty to Americans and the rest of the world’s people. The Act of 1871 represents a pivotal moment in U.S. history, when the constitutional republic established in 1776 was essentially compromised by the establishment of the District of Columbia, shifting the power dynamics in favor of a centralized federal government.

A Quick Dive into History: What Happened Under Abraham Lincoln?

During Abraham Lincoln's presidency, the nation was in turmoil. The Civil War had drained the treasury, and the government sought a way to stabilize the situation. Lincoln, dealing with the war and the collapse of the Southern economy, had to navigate unprecedented challenges. In 1861, he declared a state of emergency, which gave him broader powers, and this period of crisis laid the groundwork for the Act of 1871. The Act essentially created a corporation for the city of Washington, D.C., but it also blurred the lines between the federal government and the states, undermining the decentralized governance that the Founding Fathers intended in 1776.

The 1776 Constitutional Republic: A Decentralized Dream

In 1776, our forefathers envisioned a nation where power was decentralized, rooted in the principle of individual sovereignty. The Constitution was designed to severely limit federal power, with the Tenth Amendment reserving most authority for the states and the people. The Act of 1871 diluted this structure, centralizing power and paving the way for federal overreach.

The Role of #Bitcoin: Reclaiming Sovereignty

Bitcoin represents the best chance for ALL of us to reclaim our sovereignty. Unlike fiat currencies controlled by central banks, Bitcoin is decentralized and immune to governmental manipulation. It's the digital equivalent of the decentralized governance structure envisioned in 1776 when the free world was trying to escape a tyrannical king (sound familiar?).

Financial Sovereignty: By using Bitcoin, individuals can bypass the centralized financial systems that are increasingly infringing on personal freedoms. Bitcoin allows for peer-to-peer transactions, free from governmental control.

Decentralized Governance: The Bitcoin network operates on a decentralized model, much like the original constitutional republic. This structure ensures that no single entity can control the network, aligning with the vision of a decentralized free new world.

Privacy and Freedom: Bitcoin offers privacy and freedom from surveillance, crucial elements in the fight against centralized control.

Taking Back Our Republic:

To revolutionize sovereignty, we all must educate and advocate for the principles of decentralization and individual liberty, just as our forefathers did in the 1776 constitutional republic.

The Act of 1871 might have shifted power away from the people, but through Bitcoin, and unity under the precipice of #freedom from centralized control, we can reclaim our sovereignty and restore true freedom to not only America, but the world.

When I said unimportant transactions... I meant unimportant regarding privacy... if such a transaction exists 🤔


Nothing is black and white, for me Monero is the only relevant Altcoin (as opposed to all the other shipcoins) BTC for store of value and unimportant transactions, Monero for private "cash-like" transactions, we just need a reliable swaps mechanism. Digital "Gold" and "silver", but the silver is more private 😅. I am aware of flaws in this idea but if we can figure out how to make it work with Monero as a "layer two" (yes I know that is spurious to say) I think it would be a bright future indeed.

Samurai guys where working on a reliable swaps mechanism before they got busted... coincidence?

For most of human history there has been more than one active natural currency, I don't believe Bitcoin will swallow everything, just all stores of value. There will always be other currencies. I still consider myself a Bitcoin Maxi as I dont hold Monero... but I have and would use it. "There is no second best! (Except maybe just a little bit Monero 😆)"

Come at me with your disagreements! 🤣 why am I wrong? What do I have right?

I fear the truth is exactly that!

It is in our nature to worship, to exhault, it is written in our way of being and if we do not assign that necessity to the highest, then we make gods of something else, for some it becomes money or work, perhaps politics or sexual partners or intoxicating substances. The worst offenders end up following the path of Lucifer/Iblis and worship themselves at the expense of everyone else around them.

Wasn't the type of wierd I had in mind but now that you mention it... that should be warned about 😅


Olive oil doesnt need to be cold pressed although that is a great option, single estate artisinal Olive oil will be the best quality, produced by traditional milling methods or cold pressed. The important factor is that the oil is not chemically extracted on an industial scale.

The sheer number of Mediterranean people who live to a very active and healthy old age is all the convincing I need that Olive oil (as described here) is very good for you. We have likely used Olive oil in this way for tens of thousands of years. Sad part is that this quality is very hard to find unless you go straight to the producing region.

(Disclaimer: non-scientific, heavily biased answer from someone who loves artisinally produced Olive oil 😂)

Running a LN node with private channels makes sense for heavy users of Lightning. For most people on Nostr that is not the case. Running a node with public channels is essentially a donation to the rest of the network. Not something everyone can do. And if you do it poorly then it's not really helping anyone, including yourself. But yea, go ahead and listen to everyone telling you to just run a node.

Dude! Last time I heard this song I decided it was a certified Bitcoin Banger 😂 it's on my "Songs to stay humble and stack sats to..." playlist


This is actually the source of unaddressed traumas and subconcious demons... Osho was a fraud guru and a dangerous man to listen to. Real darkness must be faced head on and known, with the help of trusted support and people to catch you when you fall.

Modern "Light work" is toxic positivity, real spirituality must have total awareness of the light AND the dark.

"No tree, it is said, can reach to heaven, unless it's roots reach down to hell" - Carl Jung

Happy Sunday and God bless.

"Whatever happens in your life, no matter how troubling things might seem, do not enter the neighbourhood of despair.
Even when all doors remain closed, God will open up a new path only for you. Be thankful! It is easy to be thankful when all is well. A Sufi is thankful not only for what has been given but also for all that has been denied."
- Elif Shafak

😂 how do I get my hands on one of these masterpieces!


I cook on titanium only...


GM buddy, GFY guy. 🫂


OWe can refine that idea, (or maybe this is just a gross overcomplification? 😅🤷🏻♂)

Take the sats card as an example. But to make it even more private we change hands with them regularly so that no single card can be tracked to an individuals movements. Here is an example transaction:

You have several sats cards in your wallet, loaded up like traditional cash notes: some 5's 10's 20's 50's etc... you buy a coffee, instead of scanning the sats card you just hand over a loaded 5 and get a seperate one back with the change scanned in from the PoS. The cards would all change hands so much that not one card could easily be mapped to any individuals movements, when you have a few of these "change cards" you can consolidate them at home or wherever, restock and go again.

Any individual would probably only ever need 5-10 sats cards, if they could be made thin and cheap enough I think it's an interesting concept.

Or to take it to the next level, have a small device like these pop-up card wallets but intead of many cards there is just one card slot for the sats card and a small screen to program how many sats to load the card each time you need to use it, then you hand over the loaded card and get a blank back. Could this work somehow 🤔 obviously building out the infrastructure would be a huge hurdle


GM fellow plebs! 🤗☀💜

Here is a #MorningMeditation for you:

I pray you seek more to embody God than to merely have knowledge of God. For knowledge can deceive us with pride, but a meek, loving awareness will not deceive. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up (I Corinthians 8:1). Knowledge leads to travail, whereas awareness leads to rest.

I wouldn't dream of fucking with ants! 😂 They are scary cool and super interesting! They don't get enough credit


Give me a technology and i'll try out my mental gymnastics on how it's really just an immitation of nature 😅


Well this can lead to quite a philosophical debate on whether anything is ever truely invented or do we just discover things and refine them over time... usually the things we create are replications of natural things or processes, example: A camera is a replica of the eye.

Then there are more complex things like a mobile phone, but modern smartphones are essentially just incredibly well refined slates for enscribing and messaging (at their most basic use case). Did anyone really invent the slate or did they discover that they could chisel recognizeable symbols into it which others could then interpret.

A computer could be argued to be an immitation of flow of energy, much like a river combined with logic like an abacus (or piles of stones)... if gravity and slope then direction of flow this way, if dam then diversion of flow to an altered result.

😂

I would highly recommend any of Haruki Murakami's books, it's not a style I would usually read but he is such an incredible and imaginative writer!


Nein! Das ist verboten! 😅 and that's about the limit of my German. But in all seriousness, that's a really rough system 😬 so homeschooling is totally forbidden in Germany!?

Very interesting input, thanks! My girl is ten and we've been thinking of steiner for her upper education. She has interest in becoming a vet (though she is only ten 😅) so your input is very relevant and worth considering 👌🏼


I think state schools are a low bar in many countries 😅


Looks great. In some ways similar to Steiner and in many ways different. I had heard of it before but always assumed it was the same thing as Steiner. Unfortunately there's no Montessori schools anywhere near us. But there is a Steiner, so I guess our options are limited 🤷🏻♂


Why would you prefer the entropy pills as opposed to dice rolls?


When I set up my seedsigner there wasn't an auto generate option 🤔 or maybe my memory just isn't what it used to be 😅🤦🏻♂🤷🏻♂ I guess the dice roll is just a manual version of auto generate, but then so would be picking words from a pile...?

I understand that as human beings we are generally terrible at generating entropy with our own minds.

You know... since I've grown up and needed to travel a bit for work. Hotels have 100% lost their magic for me... I have a far more comfy bed at home, in a room which is curated to my tastes and I know that nobody else has been having sex in that bed 😆

It would be interesting to know their threat model but also it would be highly ill advised for them to share that information. No one should ever divulge information about their key setup, It would be terrible opsec. I can only assume that a nation state would have an extensive multisig such as a 5 of 10 or something to that effect?

Now i'm curious. Is it possible with multisig to program one or two keys to be "essential" so for example, you might need 5 keys total to access the funds, but at least one of those has to be an "essential key" held by either president or vice president for example?
