Money = Who Owns What
Credit = Who Owes What To Whom

They are similar, but not the same. One requires identity, the other doesn't. One requires trust, the other doesn't. Both arise naturally. Both are important. Only one of them can be sound. Only one of them extinguishes the other.

In 1971 we have killed money proper, and we've acted like they are the same ever since.


as someone who doesn't mine, I would imagine many aspects go into someone choosing a mining pool. it could vary from payouts, regulatory compliance, payout, block templates, hash rate, etc.

if someone was a solo miner they can pick whichever transactions they would like to include in their template.

if someone so vehemently dislikes ordinals (or whatever nonstandard transaction), they may choose to leave cash on the table to make a statement, or whatever reason they choose. this also leaves room for other miners to accept those transactions.

so I guess, someone would mine with ocean due to some level of aligned incentives, and I don't think it really matters how people (myself included) feel about this. it is one of many options to mine.

cheers 🤙


MINING POOLS THAT CENSOR BITCOIN TRANSACTIONS ARE AN ATTACK ON BITCOIN. ANY SELF RESPECTING MINER SHOULD NOT MINE WITH SUCH A POOL.

ON A POSITIVE NOTE, POOLS THAT DO NOT CENSOR WILL EARN MORE IN FEES. BITCOIN WORKING AS DESIGNED.

For a few weeks now I've been drafting this turn-key response to FinCEN and their absurd proposal for CVC mixing, etc.

I want you to take action and use what I wrote in this proposal to post comments into the register - less than a minute to perform and all the links are in the document.

STACKERS ARE BUILT DIFFERENT. SUITS IN DISBELIEF. THEY ARE USED TO MOST "INVESTORS" SELLING AFTER A 100% GAIN.

WE NEVER SELL. WE SPEND WHEN NECESSARY.

Here is a demo of a new onboarding flow for nostr applications. I started working on this after watching nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240's keynote "Nostr for normies" at nostr:npub1nstrcu63lzpjkz94djajuz2evrgu2psd66cwgc0gz0c0qazezx0q9urg5l; which I highly recommend watching.

My goal here was to create a way to onboard new users without requiring them to:
* install a browser extension
* copy/paste a secret
* explain npub/nsec stuff
* without losing interoperability with other nostr applications

This flow resembles a lot an OAuth style (e.g. "Login with twitter") flow:
* You create an account in one site (e.g. Twitter)
* You can "login" to another site with that account
* You can revoke access from using your account

Behind the scenes this is using NIP-89 to find nsecBunkers that allow people to register an account in their domain.

This means that any nostr application can offer a signup/login flow on any nsecBunker domain. The application itself doesn't take custody nor ever see the generated key.

And what's cool is that any nsecBunker provider can create their own flow; they can use passwords, or not, they can require a payment or proof-of-work to create an account. They can brand their "signup/login" popup page in whatever way they want.

Here is a demo video of this new building block that is now available to nostr applications.

And buying a $150-$200 device with a secure element is basically like putting your seed into a lockbox that could swing open at any time in the future. You end up trapping yourself into a perpetual upgrade cycle as secure elements are rendered insecure by new side channel and supply chain attacks.

Proof-of-Concept: onboardstr.vercel.app

Objective: billions must generate nostr accs

I think this should be the way we onboard 80% of ppl to nostr. i had a friend download damus then i proceeded to bore them with ‘follow this guy’ or ‘add this relay too btw’.

add your npub to the end of the onboardstr url, and when your friend generates an nsec they will have all the same follows/relays as you straightaway. instantly their feed is lively, and they can curate it themselves from there. https://image.nostr.build/a6f5d0feec8a10780414daaa180d700cd166dd3af405859dd9b023d35f6fa9e1.jpg

when I have time later I'll verify with my PC. wanted to do this so I could try the new zeus beta. again, thank you for your time and help. I've tried a few different terminal emulators on android, Termux and UserLAnd being the best, tend to run into difficulties with permissions.


I followed your directions and was able to enable thr developer options, but couldn't find any option to access or toggle the ability to access a terminal sadly. I appreciate your time and help 🙏🏻


unfortunately I cannot use gpg and termux for some reason, it won't install. I tried UserLAnd and had succeeded with gpg, but due to (I think) user permissions cannot use wget. I believe it said it had to do with the certificate for f-droid being out of whack.

I appreciate you responding.


how do people here check the integrity/verify their mobile apps while on android?

this is a trivial step to do on standard Linux, but a pain point when I don't have my pc available. tips?

please do! sometimes a nice writeup of daily topics and key points is better than watching a stream, or video highlights. plus we could get your personal perspective of the event.


If you are cheering on mass killings of people just because of their ethnicity/nationality/religion, you are not "awake" and you are certainly not "anti-war". You are also not "anti-establishment" or "anti deep state" because death is what the establishment sells.

A world obsessed with identity hates anonymity, and cannot allow privacy.


We must defend our own privacy if we expect to have any. We must come together and create systems which allow anonymous transactions to take place. People have been defending their own privacy for centuries with whispers, darkness, envelopes, closed doors, secret handshakes, and couriers. The technologies of the past did not allow for strong privacy, but electronic technologies do.

We the Cypherpunks are dedicated to building anonymous systems. We are defending our privacy with cryptography, with anonymous mail forwarding systems, with digital signatures, and with electronic money.

Cypherpunks write code.

This really is the worst. Instagram started the trend with their hideous "log in or else" flow. Then Twitter and reddit went to insanely privacy-hostile API changes instead of simply requiring a proof of work or anon payment. Even some major nostr relays seem to be doing Tor blocking now (damus? Not sure, but I get a ton of errors connecting to certain relays via Tor.)

Platforms have become so fearful of bots/spam/scraping (or rather pretend to be fearful, so as to justify blatantly commercial and anti-social decision-making) that they've totally destroyed the open access model that a functioning freenet depends on.

This is the main reason I want to see "unowned" protocols succeed. Jack has it right: we're at a turning point.

“In the exchanging of ideas our words go to do battle, and possibly die, so that we don’t have to.”


Ross Ulbricht is condemned to die in prison for creating an anonymous e-commerce website called Silk Road. An entrepreneur passionate about free markets and privacy, he was 26 when he made the site. He was never prosecuted for causing harm or bodily injury and no victim was named at trial.

This October he will have served his 10th year in prison.

Remember it’s always a good idea to move your #sats off of stuff like #wos #zbd #fountain to stuff you actually control like #zeus #phoenix #mutiny


Things are always so inverted that you just have to laugh.

People have been enslaved for all of human history, & western capitalist cultures were basically the first to abolish the practice in a big way. But capitalism & western culture are somehow most blamed for it.

The truth is that "progressive" policies & socialism are actually just modern adaptations of the dependence breeding ideologies that were used by the most successful slave masters.

People have been taught to see only a caricature of slavery so that, without the whips & chains, most are unable to identify it. It is shouted that capitalism (the actual freedom to trade & own the fruit of your labor) is evil & somehow the source of slavery, while weeds are sewn to produce a system of ever increasing taxation & the destruction of property rights. In the process, attempts are made to blind you with bribes & handouts because "we just want to help" while they actually make everything harder & steal more of what you earn.

This is not an accident, there are people out for power & they mean it. And at the same time there are normies who want to escape responsibility for everything. This is not new, these forces are very old. Together they have inverted wise sayings. They have inverted important stories. They have inverted entire religions. "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb" has become "blood is thicker than water." The man who actually recovered money from tax collectors & returned it to those who earned it has become a symbol of parasites who want to "eat the rich." The man who was tortured & crucified for refusing to sacrifice reality & truth to arbitrary authority has become a symbol of self immolation. You are told that sheep shall inherit the earth so that you will make yourself into sheep, and so that the true cowards might feel good about themselves in the process.

The pressure comes from the top down & the bottom up at the same time. Self loathing, cowardice, willful ignorance, greed, & a lust for power & status, all align to create a conspiracy of immorality & injustice. Even the word "greed" has been corrupted because the greedy don't want to be easy to name or identify. The only rational meaning has to be: a desire for things unearned with no regard for the costs or those who bear them. But instead people who want to keep what they have worked to EARN are called greedy.

Politicians work to choke off competition in an industry while they invest heavily in the companies they allow to live. And while in most cases the corporate leadership is probably in on it with them, anyone who doesn't play ball is demonized as a greedy profiteer. It is literally the degree to which a person is good & right that gets him attacked, while murderers & pedophiles are safe to rise as high as they like.

If we want to stop these people, then individual soverignty is a duty. We must be extremely dangerous & also extremely civilized & productive. The ability to unapologetically spread messages that show people reality for what it is, & for us to engage in tax defying counter economic activity with the hardest money to ever exist, are our primary weapons. These are things worth taking seriously.

good morning, April First is the worst day on the internet


USD and Twitter losing market share to BTC and Nostr.

They're making similar centralized mistakes to alienate their users.


This bill is not okay and sets a very scary precedence. A minimum of 20 year sentence and $250,000 fine just for using a VPN to access banned applications? This is maddening. I get wanting to protect users from Chinese spyware. I do. I get the dangers of TikTok. I think TikTok should be removed and delisted from app stores. 👀

What I am absolutely NOT okay with is these overreaching acts of punishments. We are literally turning ourselves into the place that we're banning these surveillance applications from. It's not good.

Bob Marley was once asked if there was a perfect woman.

https://i.imgur.com/Wid4qyy.jpg

He replies: Who cares about perfection? Even the moon is not perfect, it is full of craters. The sea is incredibly beautiful but salty and dark in the depths. The sky is always infinite, but often cloudy. So, everything that is beautiful isn't perfect, it's special. Therefore, every woman can be special to someone. Stop being "perfect", but try to be free and live, doing what you love, not wanting to impress others. I just love this!


are you on the .apk, or play store version? WoS?

I used play store release and WoS


no idea, I just zapped you from amethyst.


that sounds like a very doable method 🙂⚡🫡 reminder that atms have cameras in them, dress accordingly 😉


you're welcome. there's many ways to to about NoKYC. I think ATMs and Robosats are probably the easiest from what I've heard, and probably what I would recommend.

everyone has their own take on what is the *best way* to go about NoKYC, but at the end of the day they all have different tradeoffs. good luck friend 🫡

Bitcoin Transaction Fees and UTXO Management
-------------------------

- when bitcoin blocks are full, highest fee transactions are confirmed first
- your bitcoin wallet may show a single balance but the reality is that it is made of many different unspent transaction outputs (UTXOs)
- when you make a bitcoin transaction your wallet will select as many UTXOs as necessary to reach the amount of bitcoin you wish to send
- onchain transaction fees are calculated based on size in bytes not the amount of sats sent
- the more utxos required on the input side the higher the fee paid
- from a cost perspective you want to consolidate utxos, fewer utxos with larger amounts
- consolidation has privacy tradeoffs though: you link any UTXOs you consolidate as owned by the same person + larger UTXOs mean you will dox more of your stack to anyone you pay in the future

Therefore you want to reduce the number of UTXOs you have while being mindful of the privacy concerns.

Lightning Transaction fees are calculated differently: based on the amount in sats sent. Opening lightning channels when fees are low can enable you to save money in the future when fees rise. 🤙

Nostr has already won, everyone get ready.


Everyone is starting to realize why we've been bullish on Nostr over the past two months. The freedom is spreading. It's only a matter of time before the stragglers from Twitter show up. Keep building. 🤙

most “stable coins” will be regulated into obsolescence

some will fail due to exit scam or government pressure, while others will add KYC and censorship throughout to appease regulators

bitcoin is the only true stable coin, with no central party in control that can rug or be rugged, this will become more obvious to people over time

You can slowly start making the switch over.

Thankfully, building your digital fortress doesn't have to break the bank when buying hardware.

Secondhand and refurbished marketplaces are great.

 - Pixel 4a for $250. Great for flashing GrapheneOS on to.

- Thinkpad laptop for $350. Install a Linux distro and start learning.

- Dell Precision workstations going from $300. Install Proxmox. Run containers for File Server, Vaultwarden, Nextcloud, Media and more.

- Wifi access point routers going for $50-100. Flash open source firmware such as OpenWRT or FreshTomato. Give everyone in the home strong wifi connectivity.

All prices in AUD.
