I can't even imagine being a male in public school these days. Literally attacked from every angle 24/7.


Per a college friend of mine that is a GP. The bureaucratic red tape involved made filing for reimbursements even more costly and time consuming for offices. He also mentioned price fixing on certain procedures and billing coding nightmares. I believe his practice ended up opting out of it.

He is a small private practice in rural Indiana town (~50-60k pop) that doesn't have a ton of physicians as it is.


Except in Hawaii.


Happiness is the equipment that I want to use be open.

But I'm a bit of a Neanderthal in that I want someone in there just getting after it so I can outwork them.


Look at Scrooge McDuck braggin' about being rich over here.


So per CNBC, the ILA turned down a 50% raise and is demanding 61.5% for workers. They already have an average salary of $147k and have had a 77% wage increase over the last 6 years.

This is going to be interesting to watch the Democrats mental gymnastics here since they are pro-union but one of Kamala's main talking points has been about price gouging. What happens to prices if they relent? Those higher prices will no doubt cascade down the supply chain to the consumer.

A couple more thoughts:

1) If you don't think the companies running those ports aren't leveraging their contacts to see how China has automated large swaths of their ports, you're kidding yourself.

2) If we didn't buy into the globalization is awesome bullshit narrative and had more manufacturing and industry stateside, maybe we wouldn't have to worry so much about the dock workers strike.

A potential central point of failure like this, especially when it comes to the delivery of critical goods to your populace, shows years of bad leadership of letting this situation manifest itself.

Just another heaping helping of FIAT assclownery. I need more sats.


What clinched it for them? I'm always interested in what worked.


No disagreements with me. I replied with this list the other day and it is definitely going to be a long term issue unless they can solve some of the UI/UX problems that plague ease of use.

Mistaken for anything really.

Held the door for a young woman walking into 7-11 yesterday and she rolled her eyes at me. Just laughed it off because I know she is someone's problem with a mindset like that.


Not a big fan of how Wherostr formats that. It also strips out the preview for our Meetup group.


There is also value in not being inundated with advertisements and a rage baiting algo.

It's up to other interests to build their communities here. The same thing that stops them from owning Bitcoin is what stops them from using Nostr -- people have Proof of Work.

Was looking for something to help usher in Uptober and came across this picture from the Bellagio's Chinese New Year Exhibit a few years back. The Money Tree is considered a symbol of Feng Shui, wealth and good fortune, and renewable prosperity. Dunno about you, but positive energy, monetary sustenance, and unending prosperity sounds a hell of a lot like Bitcoin to me.

You don’t or so I hear.


Make it so.


Who knew a quartz mine in a tiny North Carolina town could cripple the global production of solar panels and semiconductor chips? They have a whopping 2,200 residents there. Wild.

The town is home to the purest quartz on the planet, a byproduct of continental formations that occurred more than 380 million years ago. High-purity quartz is essential to making the silicon wafers that get cut into chips. While there are other sources of quartz, the purity many producers demand is only found around the mines of Spruce Pine.

"It is rare, unheard of almost, for a single site to control the global supply of a crucial material,” wrote Ed Conway in his 2023 book “Material World.” “Yet if you want to get high-purity quartz — the kind you need to make those crucibles without which you can’t make silicon wafers — it has to come from Spruce Pine.

First Three Mile Island and now Palisades in Michigan. Maybe the United States really is starting to get serious about nuclear energy?

"The $1.52 billion in financing from the Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office, was accompanied by funding for nonprofit electric cooperatives to purchase power from Palisades. Deputy U.S. Energy Secretary Xochitl Torres Small announced more than $1.3 billion in public funding to power cooperatives Wolverine and Hoosier Energy."

This has been the best article I've read on the challenges to power back up Three Mile Island.

The biggest tragedy was the propagandization of nuclear that led to us losing decades of innovation and development. I think an argument could be made that if that never happens, all the hub bub about climate change doesn't exist -- or is drastically reduced. Sincere thanks to the chucklefucks involved in that.

His growth and development is all I'm concerned about this season. I have zero other expectations.

Reality is we'll have another high 1st and then with how bad Carolina is, we already get their 2nd which could be the 1st pick of the round plus we still have our own.

I expect us to draft the shit out of offensive and defensive lines.


It's Game Day! Bears v Rams on the Midway.

Despite our offense being on the back of a milk carton, our defense is actually ranked Top 5 in most categories. Here's to Caleb continuing to grow as a young QB. Bear Down.

For a walk down memory lane... the original Monsters of the Midway. Singletary, Fridge, Hampton, Dent, McMichael, Marshall. Still believe it was the best defense of all-time.

So the US Government is funding data mining against folks that have spoke up against pesticide usage.

Yo.


I'd venture a guess that most of them are well off in FIAT terms so that is a big barrier to entry in belief?

I also tend to find that my friends that are Bitcoiners are well traveled and have often been out of the country and experienced bad money.


Should also mention they have referral codes so if you do end up wanting to try them, DM me and I can provide it to you. It gives you $25 off and their pricing is based on the amount of transactions you've made.


I've used Koinly for several years. It has export options for TurboTax and Tax Act or the actual IRS forms if you use an accountant.

That's definitely fair. Unless they comingle with a Bitcoiner, they are unlikely to get zapped I would think. So they would need to Venn diagram with both Bitcoin and the respective topic.

What would go a long way, and they do this on streaming music services, is have topic subject matter experts that serve as curators of follow lists to get people up and running into a topic.

A little bit of everything to get all the various features. Some tasks just work better in certain clients, too.

https://m.primal.net/LEtk.png


While I do agree the current user base is overwhelming Bitcoiners (I am one myself), this is really on those people.

If you don't follow any Bitcoiners, you do not get it in your feed. I've created alternate npubs to test this and followed users of certain hashtags and had a pretty clean feed save for users that have varied interests.

So the issue are more they 1) didn't follow people with like interests; 2) didn't post content so those people could interact and; 3) didn't interact with said content.

They are used to the algorithm doing the work for them. I will say, however, finding content can be difficult and the UX on some clients attempting to find said content is frustrating.

Bitcoiners could have easily ripped cord and went back to Twatter. The reason why Bitcoiners have stuck around is because they will put in the work. That whole Proof of Work thing is pretty important until devs mature their works and make it lazy accessible.

May want to grab a dedicated client to supplement Fountain if you haven't already.

"The economic bite of climate change in how much people make is already locked in at about $38 trillion a year by 2049, according to a study in the journal Nature by researchers at Germany’s Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. By 2100 the financial cost could hit twice what previous studies estimate."

Research comes from the same country that just went through a nuclear phase-out, which produces the greenest, densest energy on the planet. Since their buffoonery, they've turned around and had to spend billions building out coal and gas plants because they've had energy issues and rolling blackouts.

Make it make sense.

Either climate change is a problem or it isn't. If it is, nuclear is the best energy generation technology we've got. Yes, it's expensive to build out... but so is the $38 trillion number they threw around in this article.

Sometimes content from them get posted in feeds and when you click on the posts, it will ask you to join to see it.

He's already established on those legacy platforms and gets cut a monthly check from them. So I'm calling LARPing and performative outrage.


1. The same handful of people dominate all trending content and have pretty much forever.
2. Said people that could amplify new voices often don't.
3. The plebs below them mainly only comment on said trending people's content.
4. If you're new and get zero interaction, it's just easier to cut bait and go back to your established platforms.
5. The spam over the last several weeks made searching for content an absolute nightmare.
6. Discovery of content in general varies widely from client to client.
7. Moreover, the UX is pretty rough and users are spoiled by mature social media clients.
8. People really don't want to have to deal with relay management to get content.
9. The inability to edit/delete in most clients is a major issue.
10. Some people just don't want to put in the work to establish themselves here.

I'm sure I could come up with more but those are the quickies of the top of the head.

Just followed you. Lets see if I can give you a little bump.


Definitely could be something to do with the WoT scores. Here is a note with a list of WoT relays. You may want to add a couple of them into your collection.

Every time price jumps, our local meetup gets a handful of people RSVP that have never been. We have 5 or so for this week.

If I never looked at the price, I could always know when we're up. LOL


Get them a dictionary as Secret Santa for Christmas.


I remember seeing that the US Government archives in the Library of Congress but I don't know if that was a joke or not.


Welcome aboard! Fellow lifter myself.

Remember you're in control of your algo unless you are an explorer, so your feed will be totally dependent on your follows.


It is likely that your username hadn't cached yet when he responded in his client of choice.


Not in Primal but if it shows up on your profile feed, it's been broadcast. You may try out Coracle if you want to see the Relays your note has been broadcast on. It is shown on the bottom right hand of posts.

Unfortunately, interaction is really light on nostr unless you're a nostr dev or Bitcoin influencer. Every once in awhile one of my posts will get some response, but with people being locked into their follow feed by default in most clients, unless they actively look at a global feed or hashtags, it is definitely into the ether as you suggest.


Going with one of the Clashics today. **Du Dum Tss**

If you thought script kiddies were annoying back in the olden days... Well you ain't seen shit yet, friends.

"But it’s still a bit strange. Why was it not obfuscated? Why did the attacker not remove the comments? Was the encryption also implemented with the help of AI? The answer may lie in the common view of the AI threat – it reduces the barrier of entry for malicious newcomers.

"Usually,” explained Alex Holland, co-lead principal threat researcher with Schlapfer, “when we assess an attack, we examine the skills and resources required. In this case, there are minimal necessary resources. The payload, AsyncRAT, is freely available. HTML smuggling requires no programming expertise. There is no infrastructure, beyond one C&C server to control the infostealer. The malware is basic and not obfuscated. In short, this is a low grade attack.”

Pretty fascinating stuff. Anyone want to bet big pharma makes sure these guys never get the funding they need to keep conducting trials? It's also that time of year where you'll start to see pink everywhere while very little funding actually goes to research.

"The new treatment includes bioactive glasses, a filling material that can bond to tissue and improve the strength of bones and teeth. When combined with gallium, the glasses could kill cancer cells.

I use and play around in a plethora. Primal, Coracle and Nostrudel the most. Had been using Ditto as well but they don't recognize my NIP-05 so I can no longer post. Just started playing around with Wherostr and YakiHonne recently.

The issue for me is no client is fully featured, some are drastically faster than others, and then some have annoying UI/UX elements.

I don't think Bitcoiners want politicians involved. Unfortunately, we are constrained by their laws and regulations. To get those changed so we can then enjoy said future, we're stuck interfacing with that system.

I don't consider that simping. I consider that fighting for the cause.

Hey  nostr:npub18fuceddpkztv6rudrl7e87h7xpkc3vnnzkwx4vvrlh8ggnzlld2sd79ms9, you see this? How long have some of us been saying nuclear energy was the way? Know what also is an excellent complementary technology for Bitcoin? Hopefully this is a "gradually then suddenly" event.

Absolutely ZERO reason to have locked phones in this day and age. Once we have carrier independence, theoretically it should usher in competition and lower prices. Make it happen, FCC.

"Back in June, the FCC proposed a significant rule change that would require carriers to unlock all phones within 60 days of activation. At the time, the FCC was seeking public comment on the proposal, with plans to vote on whether to pursue the issue in early July. Since then, the proposal has been unanimously approved by the five-member commission, and the plan marches forward."

Just finished myself and there are some things us Bitcoiners conveniently handwave away when we talk about moving to a Bitcoin Standard.

The general populace are now addicted to credit just as they are sugar and processed foods. I feel like that would be a "pry it out of my cold dead hands" type of response.

I'd love to hear people chew into that transition a little more because people aren't just going to openly accept taking it on the chin for the collective team. Moreover, I don't think people think through the violence that will likely occur during such a transition.

What were your questions?

Right now the best way is to adjust your relays until it has been minimized or eliminated. Here is a list of WoT relays:

https://primal.net/e/note1qqqqq95r4mkw23tg05u5unvx52cycm5wlv2dkakxy902dte26huqmy7hx2


They've expanded the compute power behind it. Essentially means they've made their data center larger.


Only if you want to stop nostr before it starts.

If people thought it was simply a Bitcoin echo chamber before...


Does he also believe everything should be free? Like education, health care, etc. I had a similar conversation with a high school friend and free everything is her solution for not having money.

How long do you plan on keeping it going?


I'm holding you to this.


Does it show any errors on the wallet tab? I can't say I've ever seen that.


Could the issue here be that follow lists are fractured? I've been using like 4-5 different clients to play with feeds and functionality and my lists and thus my WoT scores are different in those clients that do calculate them.

While this isn't for us, many will likely take advantage of it.

Honestly, if Coinbase is the big baddie as many want to claim, having other custodian options is beneficial and lowers single point of failure in that regard.


Exclamation points are used for location reference prefixes/suffixes in some computer systems so that may be intuitive to some.


"Three Mile Island, the site of worst nuclear disaster in the United States, is reopening and will exclusively sell the power to Microsoft as the company searches for energy sources to fuel its AI ambitions.

Constellation Energy announced Friday that its Unit 1 reactor, which closed five years ago, is expected to be revived in 2028, dependent on Nuclear Regulatory Commission approval. Microsoft will purchase the carbon-free energy produced from it to power its data centers to support artificial intelligence.

Financial terms of the 20-year agreement, which Constellation called the largest ever, weren’t disclosed."

That's great and all, but to MicroStrategy or other corporations holding it on their balance sheets, it very much is an asset.

It's the most dynamic monetary tool we've ever seen and it can literally be whatever the holder needs it to be.

Dunno. Lots of people are degens as we see every cycle and to someone, they are the risk free yield since they are the ones that handover their corn.


In Today's "No Shit Sherlock" News:

“They track what we do on and off their platforms, often combining their own information with enormous data sets purchased through the largely unregulated consumer data market. And large firms are increasingly relying on hidden pixels and similar technologies—embedded on other websites—to track our behavior down to each click,” the FTC report reads.

Remember the term "surveillance sharing agreements" from the Bitcoin ETF filings? I'd be willing to bet there is also a common partner between all of the big sites that has taken it a step further and compiled a massive dataset combining everything into one.

This is why we #nostr people.

As to how/where to add them... that totally depends on your client of choice but there should be a relays or network section under settings somewhere.


Love saguaro's and wished we had more here in Vegas.


Yup. I lived in the Seattle metro in the early 90s when grunge was just taking off and saw most of the bands that would end up blowing up. You could see them pretty regularly back then. I think I first saw them in early 1990 at the University of Washington with 3 other locals at a student-run type of show. Paid like $5 or something stupidly cheap like that at the door.

The coolest though was they played an impromptu set at Beehive Records and the place was packed like sardines with people on other's shoulders, on top of racks, wherever you could get in. Was originally supposed to be a small listening party and album signing, but when the handful of people they expected turned into hundreds of us lined up down the block, Kurt decided to play instead.


Agreed. I only use Nostr on desktop and right now I have to move between 3 different clients to get what I'd consider a full-featured experience as certain things that work well in one client don't in the other, sometimes search doesn't work at all in one or more of them, etc.

For people that come over and then compare it to Twitter, it's a frustrating user experience and will turn them off. If they don't buy into (or don't believe they need) the anti-censorship component, they will not stick around.

Nothing like watching other countries realize nuclear energy is the key to energy abundance. Hopefully they pair it with a #Bitcoin  mining operation for their non-peak excess generation. I still think that combo will be huge in the coming decades.

"Mudavadi had outlined Kenya’s ambitious plans to integrate nuclear power into the country’s energy mix by 2035, as part of a broader strategy to meet its growing energy demand.

Kenya’s current installed energy capacity, as of 2023, totals 3,321 MW, with significant contributions from geothermal (863 MW), hydroelectric power (838 MW), wind (436 MW), solar (173 MW), biomass (2 MW), and thermal energy (678 MW).

However, despite these sources, the country still faces a shortfall in its energy supply. Experts say #nuclear #energy will be crucial in addressing this deficit and supporting Kenya’s long-term industrialisation goals."

Do you think they were going to 25 and then the letter from Warren and her ilk made them push it?


Nothing stops this train. Choooooo choooo!

Here comes the BlackRock Bitcoin marketing team:

Two separate protocols so not sure what you mean? There are clients out there that let you use Monero, for example.


Agreed. Like I remember hearing Dan Batten talk on What Bitcoin Did about a garbage dump in Florida looking into using flared gas from their trash burning to mine.

Did they go through with it? Do they consider it successful? If not, what did they learn? That's the shit that fascinates me.


Doesn't really matter how any of us feel about it... it's happening.

That said, companies doing it like BlackRock and the other tradfis will be very unlikely to do it on Bitcoin. They will want to leverage the technology while maintaining control so they'll likely use permissioned chains. This will allow them to drop fees in their smart contracts if they do allow "peer to peer" trading.


Can I give you another suggestion that I've made to podcast hosts but it never has gone anywhere?

We always get the breaking news stories but nobody ever seems to follow up on OUTCOMES, which are significantly more important to see if something worked, or why it didn't, etc. So maybe the people involved in that arena would be interesting.


Branching out into other sides of #nostr. Being a big alternative music guy, I'm going to try to post a tune a day that I like and sit in my MP3 (yep, I'm still one of those guys) rotation.

I look at this the same way I look at Bitcoin miners having the right to choose their block templates to filter out Ordinals. They are investing their capital (time and money) and have the right to manage it as they see fit.

If a spammer does not like their content being filtered, they are free to start their own relay.

In both situations, everyone is FREE to choose to do what they want. The most important thing is the protocol remains open to ALL to grant that freedom. That's the permissionless special sauce.


The RTO mandate is the new company layoff cheat code.

Anytime a company wants to lay off employees but doesn't want to fully pay out what they'd have to -- hit the easy button. They will likely eliminate a large portion of those they were planning on cutting in addition to not having to pay unemployment if the individual resigns.

This isn't even getting into how much a company like Amazon likely saves in stock option pay if the employee bolts before vesting date.


Also, isn't WoT score derived from who follows you?


List deleted by owner


What is the long term solution for this? This will eventually lead to folks being locked into specific cliques.

Also, if you do want to use listr, how do you then view what are essentially feeds? I'm on desktop and don't see the ability to access them in Primal, Ditto, Coracle unless I'm just completely glancing over how to do it.

First time yes. Second time I tried Zeus on mobile and it was fine until my phone broke so I had to force close because you cannot transfer to new device.


Seems like the #HFSC  days are here.

In reading the comments on that ReasonTV #Nostr  video, a lot of people are instantly dismissive because the protocol isn't fully mature and built out.

You can tell a lot of people weren't around during the early days of the ole Interwebs. Those of us that cut our teeth with Usenet, IRC, wide open SMTP relays, etc... these early days have a very similar feel. We've also lived through the iterations and see where it has landed us. It's precisely the reason why many of us are interested in Nostr.

There are going to be growing pains in working to #grownostr . It's too be expected. If that's too much for you...

Have Fun Staying Censored.


Looks like business could pick up around these parts.

nostr:note1f6f4nxu3zy922xg60jyl8haaknemgsfy9w7h4tuws9yp0932zetslk3maz


Yes. No.

Each time I've run Lightning nodes, I've had circumstances that ended up with forced closes. Not doing that again until that is no longer an issue.


Morning. See you this afternoon!


The WoT is based on their followers so you'd likely see more high profile followers on the real account.

You also want to see accounts NIP-05 verified and back when we first started, most people dropped a "It's me" npub post on their other socials.


You shouldn't use SMS for the simple reason that if you get sim swapped, you're cooked. Your primary reason would be a far, far secondary for me.

But yeah, I prefer to use an authenticator app over any other methods. There are still a lot of old companies out there like my mortgage lender that still send emails.


Only some relays accept the deletes so they likely will still show.

It's likely best just to notate you've switched npubs in the last note made as well as in the bio and maybe append something to your username like mentioned by others already.


Hell, it's going to zero even if he wins.

Could also be some of those that are trying to quickly build a WoT score to then pivot the account. Or just building a WoT score to then sell followers on a Fiverr, etc. Depending if they can scale it obviously.


Is it the same person that did ReplyGuy that pivoted to this?

Relay management and the user experience surrounding it sucks.

No clue to easily see which are paid, WoT, geographically located, etc. Moreover, how to connect/join those that require membership.


On desktop, I use the Alby browser extension to sign into all of the various apps -- https://getalby.com

There are other extensions you can use also like Flamingo, etc.

It happens. I fell down a rabbit hole looking at the screencaps of the dude that tried to shoot Trump yesterday and people can be disgusting.


Meh. Price predictors never go away so I'd rather not for the lulz of a few.


You need to follow and interact with more people.


Will give the firmware update a shot. Thanks.


Wouldn't it be cool if #nostr relay owners used prefixes for the type of relays they run? Like pub.relay.org, paid.relay.org, wot.relay.org, etc. Need to start thinking about the user experience more.

I'm not interested in rehashing all of the bad football I've endured over my lifetime. I got a Super Bowl at 8 and it's been nothing but pain and suffering since.

Caleb can throw it in the general vicinity of his receivers and that is something our last 3-4 QBs haven't been able to do. It's a surprisingly valuable skill to have. Who knew?


Being a publicly traded company matters not. All other commodity ETFs are handled the same exact way. Just because cryptocurrencies have the technical ability that could allow for it to be publicly audited in real time, doesn't mean they have to do it.

Like I said, the only way this likely changes is if all of the ETF holders put pressure on the SEC to mandate it. I do think, however, that if price remains flat where it feels like it is being artificially suppressed over time, you could see that happen.

I hold some FBTC and IBIT in my walled garden retirement accounts and I'd join any class action effort on this.

Definitely interested. Every time I ever brought up Bitcoin on r\financialindependence or similar subs, I'd get downvoted into oblivion so my comments would be hidden.

Yeah... I was more looking at it as surge pricing via micro demand. I think conditional pricing may make more sense and they can all fit under that  umbrella.

I do agree with you that all of these avenues will be big in coming years.

What all peppers go into your salsa verde? Here is what I usually toss into mine:

7 medium tomatillos (dehusked, ping pong ball sized or thereabouts)
5 chile de arbol (cut the stems off)
1 small habanero (pull the stem off)
1 small jalapeno (split and deseeded)
1 medium anaheim chile (split and deseeded)
1 medium hatch chile (split and deseeded)

When hatch aren't in season and available, I'll sub another of the green chiles that my local Cardenas or La Bonita usually has.


Just another prong of surge pricing.


Seeing a lot of Bitcoiners up in arms about Brian Armstrong and Coinbase not sharing the ETF holding addresses. Many of these same Bitcoiners hide their identities and certainly wouldn't share their wallet addresses. Hypocritical much?

Stealing this from Nostrless Joe Carlasare on Twatter as some food for thought: "For the IOU rumors about Coinbase and the ETFs to be true, it means there is a vast conspiracy of civil fraud involving no fewer than 4 law firms, two accounting firms, an auditor, and Coinbase personnel and BlackRock, Fidelity, et al.."

All that conspiring for a mere drop in the bucket amount their total assets under management? C'mon meow.

Now, if it really is that big of a deal to some of you, maybe you should get a class action of all holders together to petition the SEC to make public address disclosure part of the reporting requirements. #bitcoin  #btc  #privacy


I've voted D for President more than I have R and I think it was a sham. She was completely wiped off the stage last cycle and now she is the best they've got to replace Biden?

Sorry, this isn't about Trumpers. This is about a failed party.

I'd be voting D this cycle probably for everyone except her and Newsome. They could have had Tulsi, RFK, Bernie, Bloomberg, Buttigieg from last cycle that would all be eons better. They have people like Shapiro, Beshear, Cooper and others in the party that can actually formulate coherent sentences.

But yes, let's misdirect and say this is a Trumper thing. All the DNC has done in recent years is made me likely vote for someone who I think is an abysmal human being. Hats off to 'em.

This chart shows the number and total assets of banks on the FDIC’s “Problem Bank List.” Banks on this list have a CAMELS composite rating of “4” or “5” due to financial, operational, or managerial weaknesses, or a combination of such issues. The number of banks on the list increased from 63 in first quarter 2024 to 66 in second quarter 2024. The number of problem banks represent 1.5 percent of total banks, which is within the normal range for non-crisis periods of 1 to 2 percent of all banks. Total assets held by problem banks increased $1.3 billion to $83.4 billion. One bank failed during the second quarter.

Not much to think about.

There are over 500+ undersea cables and more coming online every month. The Internet (and networks in general) are designed for resiliency and redundancy. Unless Russia could cut every last one, it's simply a fool's errand. Further, the cutting of cables would have significant economic impact to themselves as well as many of their allies.

Lets just say if they embarked on this suicide mission, they would get rolled by the time they cut the first one. Again. Fool's Errand.

This sort of thing is floated by folks that simply don't have the technical knowledge to realize how beetleheaded it really is.


I use "The Little Bitcoin Book" or "Magic Internet Money" myself. If I know the person is a liberal, I'll recommend "The Progressive's Case for Bitcoin" as it usually hits all of their key opposition points. All three can be quickly read and are easily digestible to a non-technical person, which is a biggie in my book.

If they come back to me after that, then I'll give them the next level reads.

Been saying this for awhile now to anyone who would listen. It doesn't help that some clients auto load all of those folks as follows for freshers. It becomes a reinforced feedback loop.

I make it a point to go through several hashtags that I'm interested in and try to find people with small followings and comment on their content on a daily basis.


One caveat here, it looks like this miner took the cheap route with regards to any sound dampening. Found some social media posts from residents complaining about the noise.

It's on these miners to be good stewards of the local communities they are operating in. Had they done that, it may have gone differently.

Something that I'd assume could be easily done that would go a long way on this front: Show the person WoT score up there in the corner next to their PFP.

I know most clients have a main box and then a requests or something similar. Maybe an additional folder along with a WoT threshold setting so any DMs that are below said threshold are moved over there automagically?

For example, this dude is obviously an impasta and is showing a -6 WoT score here in Coracle. Filter that sumbitch!

They are a pretty frequent topic of conversation at our local meetups.

Someone threw out that if BTC did have a parabolic type bull run, if they may be interested in acquiring other cash flush companies and then replicating it with them. Like a reverse zombie that currently gets done in the private equity space.

They are going to be a ton of fun to watch in the coming years.


The only theory I've heard that makes sense is that he could do it because he was the original founder versus the typical CEO that is hired by the board and strictly beholden to "not fucking things up." With that, they're more likely to always make the safe play and protect their golden parachute.

I will say, seeing how the strategy has worked over 4 years, I am shocked at least a couple boards out there aren't giving it a shot in some capacity. There are like 100+ major companies out there sitting on $5B+ in cash and some of them with just awful trailing twelve month returns.


I've started posting in another web client because of it.


I'm fascinated by polyglots and one of the dudes I watch recently went to Chongqing. I had always seen that meme of the train going through building in #China, but it is wild to see it in action.

Yeah, then check out God Bless Bitcoin on YouTube. I believe it is hosted on Swan's channel in agreement with the filmmakers. I think they were in negotiations to get it on major streaming providers but don't know if they ever were successful there.


Right, but these guys are betting on his play, too. Most have covered calls so they could be making 30-40% on those while they ride it out and they're essentially getting that for free.

At least that is how I saw it explained several months back when people were questioning why people were still buying.

It's probably close to a win-win as one can get. Provided they don't go bankrupt, the investor gets their principle back at worst. If the notes mature, they potentially have a moonshot.

You could also make a case that their Bitcoin holdings is a second insurance policy against bankruptcy so it probably tamps the risk in their eyes even more.

That's because it also has a web interface -- it's what I use.

I've never tried it as I don't really try to mess with socials on mobile, but I'd be curious if you could open primal.net in your mobile browser and then see if you could zap.


Like educational? I've been giving out God Bless Bitcoin to newbies. I think it is incredibly well done and can be found on YouTube.


I'm pretty sure that some client out there does this. I surf #introductions  daily to welcome or like posts for the newbies, and there are a couple intro posts that have the same verbiage all the way down to spacing and hashtag placement.


First, I don't believe it can go to zero. Even if it does fail, it will have nostalgic or collectible value to a large group of people. It will retain value at some level. But I digress.

I think you need time included in your equation. Getting to infinity could take hundreds (maybe thousands) of years but you only have a tiny subset of the timeline.  So in your finite amount of time, will there be something better to store your wealth in? Maybe? I've not seen it on my timeline.

Pivoting to your aversion to risk, that may be where you need to determine if you would rather forgo the opportunity cost of having "too much" bitcoin in exchange for feeling safe or stable.


Need to deprioritize GM shitposts, too. Having multiple in the top 60 posts isn't a good look. Especially since it appears to be showing the "best" over 4 days.


What does the timeline look like on that front?


Understanding is not binary but rather a spectrum. I'm not in the business of gatekeeping where someone sits upon that path. I'd rather they just be on the path.


Pretty much all.

Hell, back in the early days 2015-2017, most of these only took BTC in exchange for their ICOs and then had Bitcoin reserves strategies in their whitepapers.

I'd rather have my friends and family with me when the whole thing comes crashing down. If that requires them starting with a custodied solution, so be it.

I onboard people with Strike. You can't buy shitcoins. Then once they get a meaningful amount saved, they'll likely have gone down the rabbit hole some and will then be serious about self custody.

This shit has levels.


Such a great tune.


I don't believe it, but the reason people do is because it is part of the public education indoctrination.

The amount of damage the Sugar lobby did to the United States for just $50k is the biggest ROI in the history of mankind.


Look at your follows. You follow them.


Quite a few of those folks are always trending here. So what does that say?


Dude, it's fucking wild.

Didn't lose enough on my NFT or meme coin? Come back for a heapin' helping of defi bullshit.

If even they believe it is that simple, a large majority of their jobs do not need to exist, so their incentive is to protect their livelihoods.


You know I'm down for this... time to bounce the same 10 chumps off that list.

It's also working. You're now finally showing in my Top 10 on my Primal 4 hour, and in the very last stop on the 12 hr.

There is no bigger professional racket these days than certifications, and more specifically, their renewals. If you're familiar with the money pit ITIL has become since PeopleCert took over, you have one of three ways to keep it active:

1. Take the same exam again - $300
2. Pass another higher level ITIL certification - $700+
3. Pay $122/year so you can submit "Continuing Professional Development" hours - $366

Unless your organization is footing the bill, steer as far away as you can. I let all of my CompTIA, Cisco, CWNP, and Microsoft certs expire within the last year or two because I would have been out another over $1k annually to keep them current. It would be different if most of these weren't static technologies or subject matter.

The fact that employers continue to force this charade on their employees versus coming up with an alternative is absolutely beetle headed.

TL;DR: Fuck them certs and the moron MBA's horse they rode in on.


While true, it feels like the majority are consolidating and interacting with the same 20 people based on all of the trending lists. So spending an hour scrolling for something is not a good user experience and will only get worse if she follows more and they exhibit the same behaviors.

Like I saw a GM post reposted like 15 times and it was effectively low value spam. I'd challenge anyone that comes through here to get out and actually interact with people outside the normal handful of people. Or these folks will fuck off back to Twatter.


Nice. Let’s break up the Coinbase custody monopoly.


Man, I think I jinxed myself with this note. Hopefully I’m coming out of the back end of this. Lost taste for most things again this time around. nostr:note1xxl80j4h4x34kz7j80jpq0dpq3t3vmcgpx5ms7ny4t5ez3vhfazscjr86v


Definitely a treat. It's super satisfying.

Hopefully they have the super fragrant soaps that also seep in during the process for that little extra something.


What are some common reasons that a #BitAxe would just quit hashing? Just took a look at mine and noticed it flatlined. Looking at my pool page, it just stopped early AM. A reboot got it back to hashing but just curious what the root cause could be.

https://web.public-pool.io/#/app/bc1q372gv0yxrxrpf6grgks2p2we77uvj62u40r599


I feel that.

Also doesn't help that the large majority of people just do drive by notes or they only interact with their cliques.


I see it now in Coracle. It has a negative WoT score so it looks like it is getting blocked/filtered out in a multiple clients.


You could also make the argument that interference has led to bigger, badder ones. For example, a lot of the modern companies came out of the Microsoft antitrust case over Internet Explorer in 1998.


ReplyGuy? It doesn't show on my client.


Nothing says good idea like getting your money locked into a centralized walled garden... I mean ecosystem.


Here is a link to that paper abstract I found:

https://ideas.repec.org/p/bis/biswps/1046.html


SEC Chairman Gary Gensler under investigation by Jordan, McHenry and Comer for political favoritism in hiring. In doing some cursory searching on him, he was a coauthor on "The Case for Convenience: How CBDC Design Choices Impact Monetary Policy Pass-Through." I'm sure that's nothing, right?

I believe the Nostur client does and others have it on their roadmaps. But I do agree with you, that is a very big piece that is missing to bridge the X functionality gap.


If you want to help Dom Bei and the Proof of Workforce folks out, it would help if you could repost this in front of your audiences.


Anyone going to the Peer to Pier event being put on by the newly created Santa Monica #Bitcoin Office in October? If so, you can now grab free tix:

So many of my college friends were like that.

It's also rough if you were in the muck with them and got your shit together and then all the sudden they treated you differently because you put in the work.


About the best we've got is combining NIP-05 verification along with identity linking on a second social media platform. It was all the rage to make a post on your Twatter saying this is my npub.


Been sidelined with the ole COVID and finally took the time to setup my BitAxe Supra I got in a couple weeks back. Took 5 minutes to setup from start to finish. Anyone know where I can get an orange frame for the Supra?

Here's hoping Satoshi smiles upon me and gives me a little luck o' the bitcoin  -- Frosted Lucky Sats, they're magic Internet money!

Life experience. Governments aren't in the business of spending time and energy drafting laws unless they can recoup a little piece of the action for themselves.

Several articles I read mentioned they want the ability to freeze assets. I also remember several articles over the last couple of years that people are paying for rentals in cryptocurrency.

If landlords are not reporting that income, the Government aren't getting their share in taxes so it makes sense as to why they want something official on the books so they can collect their portion as well as levy legal encumbrance on it.


Sounds like they're looking for a new revenue stream. Can't find additional information anywhere, but I'm curious if it is retroactive to the purchase date of said assets. Hopefully it is also written that you can deduct losses for said property becoming worthless.


Personally, I don't give a flying fuck which side you're on, but banning someone for simply using the technology as it was intended to be used is beyond evil.

Just remember, there is a BIG difference in having one account for use on the #nostr protocol and one account in a walled garden that apparently is acting as judge, jury, and executioner. At this point, if you're going to play God, maybe you should just block access to said region.

Imagine the damage if you're using an Outlook email address that is tied to your banking, utility, and other financial accounts, Authenticator for MFA, etc. This goes well beyond having your "online life" whacked.

You’re head of the class…


I’ll bite. Can you expand knowing how it is currently interwoven with kyc on/offramps, IRS taxation requirements, etc. I’m not sure this can be decoupled.

I could see it in other counties but not here in the US.


This is great and all, but they already have. Operation Checkpoint, veto of SAB121, what they put forth in FIT21, IRS taxing it as property, mining/energy, so on and so forth.

If you think that we can now form a parallel economy with Bitcoin now while it has now penetrated tradfi via ETFs, that is some pie in the fucking sky thinking. They aren’t just going to turn their heads and look the other way.

That said, you are 100% right on Trump at the same time. However, I do think someone like Cynthia Lummis does get it and cares.


There is likely increased fear because she has been farther left than Warren and we’ve seen through the anti-crypto army, operation chokepoint, vetoing sab121, etc that they are not interested in embracing the industry.

She has had numerous chances to show she won’t completely continue attacking via all of the orgs that have started up and she hasn’t even given them time of day — that is a rumored 50m voting bloc.

Seems pretty easy to see why it may dip a bit.


If you see any of the liberal comments on socials, they typically believe all MSM slants far right.


One more and Eddie Money will show up.


Nope. Trump lost the opportunity to talk about it when he went balls deep into shitcoinery.


You're a couple days late my man.


Going to be a LOT of this:

Worked at a very large insurance company for nearly two decades that went through multiple stages of outsourcing to those big Indian firms that dominate the IT space. Ended up becoming friends with some of them over the years and ended up finding out salaries as well as how they were able to provide so many "qualified" bodies since they came at 5 or 10-to-1.

Was shown their vast PCE dump libraries on pretty much every vendor and technology. On top of that, they had an onsite testing facility where you could just retake until you passed. Bonafide cert mill.

Once the ink was dry, it didn't matter if they were paper techs because they usually had a couple dudes that actually knew their shit and would carry the contract. Those guys usually ended up stateside getting paid what they were actually worth.

It’s up to you to do the needful.


"SB 1047 would establish liability for developers of AI models that cause a catastrophe if the developer didn’t take appropriate safety measures. The legislation would apply only to developers of models that cost at least $100 million to train and do business in California, the world’s fifth-largest economy."

Don't know about you guys, but I'd be more interested in hearing what those folks have seen in their company R&D labs that have them so spooked. If it does get passed, we just see these firms leave California, no?

Is that is why there is a major lag for notifications to hit? I've been experimenting keeping Primal, Ditto and Coracle open in browser. Even thought I've been posting via Primal, I typically get notifications back on it in Ditto 1st, Coracle 2nd and Primal a distant 3rd.

"Through it all, an exodus of workers from lower-paying jobs led companies to push up wages that had been stuck for decades.

Researchers at two Federal Reserve Banks — those based in Kansas City and New York — say this is a key driver of higher grocery prices. Pay for workers in food manufacturing and retail rose a bit faster than pay for workers in many other occupations. A report from the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City noted that processed food, which requires more labor, accounted for the vast majority of price hikes."

This was hidden in the article and not really expanded on. Some quick Google searches said Kroger had 414k employees in 2023. On the Kroger subreddit, I saw a post saying the average raise is typically $0.40/hr every eligible raise period.

Just to baseline us a number to look at, that's 2080 x $0.40 = $832 x 414k = $344.5m in increased hourly labor costs before associated benefit cost increases.

If we know that number is on the light side due to regional differences, labor unions, tenure with bigger steps, etc... it makes sense why grocery prices have jumped on that alone. That's also just one variable in the equation -- you have likely wage increases at the manufacturer level, the supply chain and logistics level, etc.

TL;DR: Grocery prices aren't coming down any time soon, friends.

Just read the abstract and didn't see this mentioned, but I believe the average user only visits 6-10 sites per day worldwide. Also saw something like only 3% of the Internet is even visited.

It's essentially Google/YouTube/WhatsApp, Facebook/Instagram, Twitter, Reddit and TikTok anymore. The traffic consolidation into the hands of big tech has been wild to watch.


While that may be mathematically true, haven't 2 BitAxes already found blocks. Based on how few of them have been produced and how few run them, that is pretty nuts to think about.


As someone that was brought up on BBSes and then has run (and still runs) message boards for over two decades, I'm definitely waiting for this.


To be fair, you're probably flying too close to the Sun on this topic.

I walked two people through setting up Primal at our last Meetup and your account  is literally auto-added for new users.


I renewed one last week via Namecheap and it took maybe 20 minutes.


The bathroom tends to be the singular place in the house that people respect so you can truly get peace and solace. I'm sitting and taking that time.

As for girls saying sitting is for sissy boys... everyone shits. So is it only sissy when you have to urinate? What about when you go #1 and #2 simultaneously? Are they granting a sissy waiver? They can kindly sit... and spin.

That said, the ones left are strictly for quantity. For example, the Wynn buffet is seafood heavy so if you love crab legs, this is where you would eat your weight in them.

It is insane how far off the deep end Reddit has gone. Even topical subreddits related to travel, games, or other non-political subject matter are overran with people shoving sexuality or some other personal ideology bullshit at you.
