yep, this will look good forked


happy birthday to both you, and your new baby Trey!

blessings, enjoy the ride.


ah now I seep nip05 as well


are you using it for just zaps?

I'd rather risk the rug with ecash than use alby 🤣 I only have a handful of sats there for zapping, but that is just my preference. I also have some negative bias because when I first joined nostr i really didn't like the alby setup flow, and the zaps failing.

GL finding the answer you're looking for.


from the Gab landing page itself? nothing.

but I like landing pages as a brief overview of the tool I'm using, maybe with a faq.

I think bluesky showing you their "feed" is a nice feature, but is not the first page I want to see when exploring a new network/tool. hence why I think somewhere between the 2 is a good option.


somewhere between Gab and Bsky. I like that Gab has a "landing" page before throwing you in their view of the network. I like that bluesky shows you current activity.

I'm not sure. I wouldn't call myself a power user, but a mere tinkerer. I think the system is simple, the new-ish arch-install package (I'm not sure if it's currently packaged in the iso) uses a simple repl to pick features like desktop environments and whatnot.

the best distro is the one that works for you. I like debian and arch because they're simple and easy for me to use for simple programming and other such things.

BEEN SAYING THIS FOR YEARS.

FEATURE, NOT A BUG.


IT IS INSANE THAT VOTING MACHINES ARE NOT OPEN SOURCE.


Everyone should be treated with respect. If this was the starting point of all interpersonal interactions, the world would be a nicer place.

Trouble and strife begin when people stop showing the proper care and respect for others, and you can see the result of this everywhere.

Bitcoin became necessary because a class of rich men believed they were better than other people, and by dint of this, thought they did not have to take anyone else into account.

They were wrong.

the important lesson is to not blame these people; they don't understand.

who am I to blame people for running in a rat race when it's the only thing they've ever known?

regardless of intention, I think the point being made about what you said is moot.

1) nostr is freedom tech that permits FREEDOM OF SPEECH. especially that which is unsavory.

2) thinking of nostr as a community in and of itself is like having a "community about community", which isn't bad, but imo not what nostr is exactly. it's similar to the idea of a "Bitcoin community" extrapolated out into the future is a community of people who care about money, (assuming the network effect happens) is a bizarre interest.

nostr is a communications protocol; on top of communications communities are formed: n/gaming being an example. but nostr itself is NOT the community. I'm sure that's how it's perceived today because of how it feels using nostr, but nostr is just communication infrastructure.

Important to understand.

"Rich people are evil" is a psyop made to trick you into disliking those who create the most value for the world.

If you're angry about wealth inequality/shrinking middle class, the true enemy you should be directing your disdain toward is CENTRAL BANKS and the governments who print infinite money through them.

Here’s the tl;dr on why #Bitcoin is anarchy.

Anarchy means “without chief/ruler”, via medieval Latin from Greek anarkhia, from anarkhos, from an- ‘without’ + arkhos ‘chief, ruler’.

Bitcoin is a set of rules, but Bitcoin has no ruler.

doesn't break bitcoins fixed supply. mints are centralized 3rd parties that hold all user deposited funds (btc).

can they print as many ecash tokens as they want?
yes.

the issue is when users attempt to pull funds out, the quantity ecash != the quantity bitcoin. the mints credibility will be destroyed, and user funds essentially rugged/stolen, and likely will have a run on the mint with users all trying to transfer out.

the fix supply is never effected, but mints can theoretically use fractional reserve practices and lie to their users.

It’s because they are using a radically different model than other clients. It does not connect to multiple relays, it connects to their one custom caching server which isn’t a nostr relay. So if it goes down the whole app goes down. Brittle and takes away user agency on what relays the user can connect to.

Hopefully primal 2.0 switches to a model which is less brittle and more like a normal nostr client.

What is happening im Australia is so sad.
Some of us have been writing letters and petitions and opposing these bills since they really ramped up pushing them through during covid but people just do not care.
It is unbelievable how blue pilled the average Australian is.
And those that are not blue pilled are black pilled. They see no hope.
The way we were treated during the covod lockdowns really broke a lot of spirits.
We were not allowed to leave our houses.
I had to have a permit with me at all times when leaving the house for work.
There were roadblocks and checkpoints.
We were required to use an app to check in to all locations.
Could not even go shopping without a vaccine. I was kicked out of a store when I was the only person in there by the owner. So many relished in their chance to be morally superior and powerful.
We had a 5km circle drawn around our houses and if we went outside this circle we were fined.

And if you dared to protest you were met with police in armored vehicles with tear gas and rubber bullets firing wildly in to crowds. You were rounded up by cops. Beaten. Then called a nazi for daring to ask for your basic rights. Facebook posts supporting these protests led to arrests.

Australians learnt first hand that we have no rights.
Most people cheered on the government keeping us safe.
Those that were remained were left broken and lost hope.

Here comes the third prong to fuck #AUStriches once and for all.

Digital ID comes in December, both sides of government are pushing legislation to have social media users KYCed (see note below and image 3) which will be here mid-2025.

And now they’re pushing ahead with the mis- and disinformation bill which defines “harm” so broadly (image 2) that there is no escape.

No more posting about Bitcoin, that harms the economy. No more disagreeing with net zero lunacy, that harms the environment. No questioning vaccines, that harms health.

If you do - they’ll have your identity and will come and arrest you for breaking this new law.

“No event has traumatized me so much as watching nearly the whole of the professional, media, and academic class be entirely fine with the sudden imposition of totalitarian controls on association,  movement, and speech provided they could luxuriate at home - believing there to be a killer virus extant - and hang out on video chats as the workers and peasants kept society running and delivered groceries to their front doors. That same group was thrilled to receive trillions in payments for having done this.

Again, nearly the whole of the top 1/3 of society was just fine with this, and certainly raised no objection. Many within this group manufactured excuses for their deeply disgusting disdain for others.

I doubt I can ever recover the respect I once had for the wealthy, the educated, the credentialed, and the successful. In the Covid period, they deployed their privileges as a weapons against modern ideals and against all the people they (secretly) regarded as their lessers.

This really happened. And it revealed everything.

In the end, they were rewarded for their disgraceful attitudes and behaviors. This reality, again, more than anything I've ever personally witnessed, has shaped my views on nearly everything and fundamentally disrupted much of what I once believed.”

- Jeffrey Tucker

Here’s the series of events that led me to Nostr, in chronological order:

- tried to pay for X's blue checkmark but was unable to do so without linking my bank account, instead of paying with a card.

- read the terms of connecting my bank account and realized I would have to agree to share my account number, routing number, interest rate, recent transaction history, etc. No way I was agreeing to that, so I closed the tab.

- opened a YT tab to watch some random videos, and a conversation between  nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx and  nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m at Nostriga popped up on my feed.

i had never heard of Nostr before clicking on that video. It took me all of two minutes to go from typing the name 'Nostr' into my browser to opening an account.

nostr:note1xeja7p4uhvuk9wkdudjhqcdc46579j4he3dyufmtsh9djvydjdss0mj8g2


I started using Nostr about a year and a half ago. NGL I struggled with it, I wanted it to be that Twitter replacement I was searching for but there were several roadblocks:

• getting content to load
• self-custodial Lightning is a pita
• little to no interaction
• getting a mix of content beyond just Bitcoin

Therefore, I found myself stuck choosing between battling an algorithm or a miserable UX for social media. But that changed when I saw this dude's posts about making a few simple adjustments and that was exactly the unlock I was looking for.

In the last 24-hours I went from totally frustrated with Nostr to operating my own public relay, running a local private relay on mobile, & getting content to load quickly on my 3 favorite clients - first bullet point ✅.

I continued following his suggestions and funded Zeus to manage some inbound/outbound channels which is made easy with their new LSP. With that setup, I installed Minibits to create a mint and get a Lightning address. I topped off the mint from Zeus, then I configured the NWC secrets for my 3 clients and removed the friction to zaps in a self-custodial way - second bullet point ✅.

But then I figured out being an introverted lurker on Nostr doesn't bode well here. I started following more accounts, boosting, posting, liking, commenting... The more I use it, the better it gets - third bullet point ✅.

Finally, YakiHonne was the key to curating the content I was seeing. There are options to choose a number of topics beyond just Bitcoin-related stories and I recommend checking it out - fourth bullet point ✅.

All in all, Twitter is a dumpster fire as you probably know since you're here reading this and if you have hit some friction switching to Nostr hopefully some of this info helps.

I respect both Jack and Lex, but maybe the cynic in me is coming out.

I feel like Lex will strawman regulatory concerns, safety concerns/content moderation, etc.

I think those would be important questions from him but am hesitant to think that it won't derail the conversation away from the benefits of the freedom tech and towards the concerns.

I do think Jack is capable and can handle himself extremely well in thorough and tough discussions.

the arch linux wiki isn't a great getting started, but is a phenomenal resource whenever you come across something you don't understand or are troubleshooting.

I think throwing debian or ubuntu on a VM is a good start. learn how to update your system, install applications from the package manager as well as from internet  is a good place to start.

distributions don't really matter so don't waste too much time on "which distro".

not sure if this is at all helpful, but cheers 🤙🫂


There are those who come here with certain expectations (images don't load, can't find users, DM privacy sucks, no blue checkmarks, ...) and a conflicted mind that doesn't let them enjoy the freedom of chaos. They need it to be wrong and broken so they can handle the dissonance when going back to Elon's private global hellscape.

Then there are those who come and see an infinite space of possibilities and also challenges, they see the beauty in the chaos. They know that this protocol owes them exactly nothing.

They ask: what can I do with nostr what has never been done before? And slowly they realize how big this question really is.

I was just walking down the street, coffee in hand, suddenly realizing how "normal" it all is already. Like most days, I went to a coffee shop that accepts lightning. Like most days, I paid directly with sats that someone zapped me here on nostr. Like most days, neither the merchant nor myself thought twice about it, or took a minute to marvel at what just happened.

So, allow me to do just that. Marvel at what just happened. While everyone is having a fantastically crazy time at #nostriga, uncountable people are using bitcoin in a myriad of ways. Some for savings, large and small; some for transactions, large and small; some for other stuff. Bitcoin is slowly but surely entering the world stage. Some commentators will tell you that this is good. Some commentators will tell you that this is bad. Whatever the case may be, it is unavoidable.

I see nostr under a similar light. As platform-based manipulation and censorship ramps up—which it inevitably will—the usage of nostr will ramp up too, and with it the usage of zaps and everything else that comes with it. And soon enough, buying a coffee (or breakfast, lunch, and dinner) with zap-based income will be normal. Just like it's "normal" to be an "influencer" today, or a "YouTuber" or whatnot... It's not everyone's cup of tea, but it's a normal thing. Anyone can do it.

Back to my coffee. I remember when I had the "oh my god, I can live on bitcoin here!!!" experience for the first time. It was in Bitcoin Jungle, a couple of months after the initiative was launched. I stayed there for 2 weeks or so, buying the necessities of daily life with sats outright. And it worked. Flawlessly. I had zero payment failures, and was exclusively using Zeus with my own node. It was incredible.

Why is this incredible, you ask? Shouldn't stuff just work? Yes, it should. But building out the tech and the infrastructure to make it all work is BLOODY HARD. I remember the first Lightning Conference in Berlin, in 2019. Everyone came, everyone had all their channels and wallets and everything prepared, and ~50% of payments failed. For... reasons.

Fast-forward to today: I go to one of the 100+ merchants in the city that accept bitcoin, a quick tap on the PoS device & QR code scan, boom, done. Is it always perfect? Of course not. Will it get better still? 100% it will. Very soon these merchants will have NFC-enabled devices, and the tap-to-pay experience that people are used to with cards & Apple pay will be normal for bitcoin payments too. If you are in Riga right now, you'll experience this first-hand thanks to Bolt cards and BTCPay Server. It's awesome, it's open-source, and it works. And it will get better still.

We are truly living in the best and weirdest timeline; a timeline where shitposting on the internet can buy you lunch and dinner; a timeline that spawns amazing technological movements like #nostr; a timeline that, every ~10 minutes, allows for a small miracle to happen. A timeline where "magic internet money" is a normal thing; a timeline that, thanks to the magic dust of cryptography, enables anyone to speak about anything, without having to ask for permission. I'm grateful.

Thank you, Satoshi. 🙏🧡


FOSS stands for **Free and Open Source Software**. It refers to software that is both free to use (as in freedom) and whose source code is openly available for anyone to inspect, modify, and distribute. Here’s what each term means:

1. Free Software:
   - "Free" in this context refers to freedom, not necessarily price. Free software grants users the freedom to run, modify, and share the software. The key principles of free software are often summarized by the Four Freedoms:
     - Freedom 0: The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose.
     - Freedom 1: The freedom to study how the program works and change it to make it do what you wish (access to the source code is a precondition for this).
     - Freedom 2: The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help others.
     - Freedom 3: The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others. By doing this, you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes.

2. Open Source Software:
   - Open source software is similar to free software, but the focus is more on the collaborative benefits of making the source code available. The term "open source" emphasizes that the source code is open and accessible to anyone. Users can modify the software and distribute their modified versions.

   - Open source projects often involve collaboration among developers from all over the world, contributing to the software's development, bug fixes, and new features.

Examples of FOSS:
- Linux: An open-source operating system kernel that is the basis for many operating systems (e.g., Ubuntu, Debian).
- Apache: An open-source web server software.
- Firefox: A free and open-source web browser.
- LibreOffice: A free and open-source office suite.
- GIMP: A free and open-source image editor.

Benefits of FOSS:
- Transparency: Anyone can inspect the source code to verify what the software does.
- Control: Users have control over the software and can modify it to suit their needs.
- Community b: FOSS projects often have large communities that contribute to and support the software.
- Cost: Most FOSS is available at no cost, making it accessible to a broader audience.

FOSS plays a crucial role in the software ecosystem, empowering users and developers to create, share, and improve software freely.

For founders, CTOs, and developers of Bitcoin companies however, whether your code is FOSS, or not has nothing to do with asking for your users trust. Your code being free is irrelevant, and being a Bitcoin company has nothing to do with the license your software runs under.

The vast majority of users who run FOSS never read the licenses or Source Code of the tools they use; they are normal people who simply want to get things done.

Gimp, Apache, Linux, Firefox are all fine tools that the license they're offered under has no bearing on the user's experience.

People use Gimp because they could not afford Photoshop, not because the source code was available. Today, they run it because Photoshop has not been ported to any GNU+Linux operating system with the Gnome interface. If Adobe ported Photoshop to Ubuntu, everyone would abandon Gimp for PS overnight.

ColdCard is secure not because people can copy the code; it is secure because it is properly and carefully written. The license code is written under cannot affect the execution or quality of software. This is the fundamental mistake Open Source fanatics make; they think virtue signaling to people who can't write "Hello World" in PHP matters; PROTIP, it DOESN'T MATTER and NO ONE CARES.

Open Source can kill companies. If you release your source code, you are inviting people to copy your ideas and compete with you, with no advantage to yourself.

The license you use to release your source doesn't matter either when it comes to the business risk; people can read your source and then re-implement it without using your code, and then BANG you've got a clone of your service trying to knock you out of the market.

If the people who are cloning you are better funded, more clever, able to look people in the eye when being spoken to, and are affable, then you've got a real problem.

And where are all the Bitcoin Cult checklist ticking followers when your magic dust is being "stolen" or "Ripped Off"? They will be nowhere...or buying the tools and service of your competitor because you believed some cult gibberish about MUH OPEN SAUCE.

Sharing source code and licenses that compel disclosure are useful things in narrow circumstances, like tools that underpin everything; SSL, GPG, HTTPS, POP3, SMPTE, C, C++, Linux, Bitcoin and so many other tools used to build tools or build businesses. The number of developers working on these tools is astonishing and everyone benefits. This is beyond argument.

But.

Just because other Open Source tools have big developer bases, it does not follow that every tool must be open source, and that the act of disclosing your source code under the GPL will attract an army of developers commiting changes.

You will have seen this with projects breathlessly announced at conferences that failed to attract developers to do the work for free to build them, the assumption being that developers are a magic and infinite resource with infinite time to work for free on an infinite amount of projects, the sole method of recruiting them being to chant "ACK" after posting your just about running source sketches on GitLab.

This is the fact that is left out when cheerleaders for Open Source make irrational claims about Open Source being the foundation of user trust. They're not seeing the big picture, are fatally unrealistic and in fact, don't see the picture at all.

It's a safe bet that they are not using Ubuntu, Mint or any GNU+Linux operating system for their daily work either, but are in fact hypocrites using *CHOKE* MiCro$oft Winblows and Micro$oft Visual Studio Code or MacOS as their development platform. They will never tell you this of course, while they type out their pro Open Source screeds on Google Chrome or M$ Word. We all know this.

In the final (and financial) analysis, all the virtue signalling in the world will not make people use your tool. Only a small number of fanatics care about the license your work is released under, and those people will not move the needle when it comes to changing the world, and the ones that will change the world will copy your weak sauce and turn it into hot sauce.

Bitcoin changing the world does not require Open Sourced tools; it requires what google did with Chrome; blasting the competition (Internet Exploder) to smithereens with a browser that beat every other browser by being better for the consumer. Failing to understand this is in 2024 a fundamental error.

Thankfully, there are serious people coming to Bitcoin who do not care about any of this, and who are focussed on doing a narrow range of things right. Google's Chrome is focussed on browsing the internet securely and quickly in a standards based way, providing password management and a few other things along the way. A very small number of things.

They're not interested in the latest fad, and do not have a model where they keep adding new services to their offering to be cool and hip; they do one thing and do it right.

Bitcoin companies are coming that do one thing and do it right. They are extremely focussed (not laser focussed) and they know that bitcoin is for other people, not for developers. By understanding this, they will be the people who change everything.

And again when it comes to the license your tool is released under, as far as the public is concerned...

IT DOESN'T MATTER and NO ONE CARES.

Curtis Yarvin once said, during the 2020 election season, “I’m so pro-Trump that I’ve actually come all the way around to being pro-Biden.”

His reasoning was that a Trump admin would merely delay the inevitable regime collapse and transformation, whereas a Biden admin would accelerate it. Same is true of Kamala.

The counter argument is that a swifter collapse will be more acutely painful. https://image.nostr.build/1a2eb13c3089621231784a608e4ab304d4377380c976711d2532650ac860a5af.jpg

## rust-nostr v0.34 is out! 🦀

### Summary

Add embedded tor client support, allow to open databases with a limited capacity (automatically discard old events when max capacity is reached), add `Client::stream_events_of` as alternative method to `Client::get_events_of` (stream events instead of waiting for `EOSE` and collect into a list), add search capability (NIP-50) support to `Filter::match_event` and databases, add NIP-31 and NIP-70 support, add option to autoconnect relay on `Client::add_relay` method call (currently disabled by default), rework the `get_events_of` methods behaviour for better consistency (`RelayPool::get_events_of` and `Relay::get_events_of` get events only from remote relay/s while `Client::get_events_of` allow to choose the source of events: `database`, `relays` or `both`), bugs fix and more!

Full changelog: https://rust-nostr.org/changelog

There is the nostr protocol, and the nostr culture, and sometimes they are out of sync with each other 😛


Not wrong, privacy and censorship resistance are at odds with each other, the same is the case with bitcoin, but atleast both of them have one thing in common: All data is collected against a pubkey.

You don't have to tell the world that your meatspace identity is the pubkey, or have different pubkeys for different jobs.

what would they do if not allocate funding to the people who actually have the vision and the coding ability?

guide the....vision??

since I joined the best improvements have come from very small teams, or individual developers. they didn't need an org to build any of their great ideas out to market. some of them had no funding prior to their contributions and have since acquired some funding (arguably not enough though).

we don't need to round up a bunch of people to guide freedom tech, we need to support the people who build it, like Opensats and HRF.

Freedoms are not granted, they're taken and defended.

delete is a facade that doesn't exist on the internet.

I prefer 'no-delete', because it is more honest about the situation that we are actually in.

we have to be responsible and careful with what we post, when, where, etc.

Trying to pressure relay operators to implement something is in my opinion stupid, specifically and especially in the case of Delete.

People have been screenshotting information on the internet for a long time now. the delete feature doesn't stop that. I understand the counterpoints being made in favor of delete, mostly being championed by Ava, but I personally just don't see it being a long term net benefit.

Use the relays that have the features you want or run them yourself and connect to only the relays that satisfy you as the end user.

Monero is a niche use case crypto token. That description can apply to every other shitcoin

Bitcoin is an easily auditable, fixed supply monetary system that is grounded in physical reality and gives anyone in the world the ability to save and truly own their wealth outside of their local fiat currencies

consumers are not going to be excited about the new HVAC regulations coming to the US at the end of this year.

The current coolant is being swapped out for a new coolant that is more "environmentally friendly" but comes at the expense of repairability.

No ability to patch leaks in the new systems, automatic shutoff of the entire unit if there is any leak detected, no ability to "top off" a system if it is leaking while working on a repair, no ability to run with a partial leak.

the old units that use r410 coolants will no longer be allowed for new installs in favor of the r32. all of the issues with repairability and usability come from the flamability of the new coolant.

home owners who could have previously done repairs and extended the longevity of their units will now be forced into simply buying an entire new system.

they lost me after Bernie allowed himself to be cucked in 2016, and again in 2020 - and has been supporting elite dems in their votes since, and endorses them.

broadly, their actions do not match their words.

from my view, if you were a Bernie supporter in 2016, you've either double downed on the Dems, or you wholly reject them. this is a divisive opinion, but that's how I feel.

When overall enthusiasm wanes for whatever reason I always get extra bullish on #Bitcoin.

I don’t care what other people are doing, if I’m producing value I’m stacking #BTC, and if I’m not producing value I’m dead.

Go out of your way to give people positive feedback.

When someone makes you laugh or learn, tell them.

It's easy to assume they know, but they really might not.

One of my problems with my real-world friends and semi-online friends is that I'm viewed as cold and distant. Kind of on the spectrum, one might say.

I incorrectly assume that since I like their stuff, they must know I like their stuff, which isn't always the case. Instead they're more like, "wtf is Lyn thinking?" In other words, I'm semi-retarded at personal interactions. I'd like more people to know how much I like what they do.

Online or offline, whenever it's comfortable, tell people they're doing good work. Say hi. Tell them thanks. Give gratitude.

Nostr does this better than Twitter, from my experience. Keep it up, lads and lasses.

first time watching in the nostr chat


love Kenny. cheers 🍻


ah I understand what you mean now.

to me this is like a crypto bro flexing their new lambo; they are flexing their wealth and influence to self-validate their own perceived status. fiat behavior from the Magezine. imo, the wrong direction to move.


That "livestream" was mostly dead-air and adverts, awful really.


but I wasn't I'm Nashville, and wasn't expecting a 1:1 correlation of experiences from those attending to those watching; I've just noticed a drop off in content livestreamed from the conference compared to previous iterations.


I feel like the youtube livestream was severely lacking. Definitely a had to be there event to get substance

nostr:nevent1qqstj5vf62x9c9czccskauxpv7e6c455v7s5ccu3785jnent9kx02ucpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hsygzt0gupsg7yttxzjczn7y0jwu6a596f958n9f23tdg74qau522lhypsgqqqqqqstwmz48


not really, at least not for me. I think moving the location of the conference is good; the die hards will travel no matter where, and you can inspire locals to go who otherwise wouldn't make a trek.

I personally understand Bitcoin Magezine is a company with their own incentives and will highlight in "the bitcoin world" will be beneficial to them first and foremost

I am personally more interested in the discussions happening on the OS stage, and would appreciate one camera pointed that way. I don't expect the same production value as what they're pouring into the main stage. but I'm just one pleb with an opinion - clearly not their intended audience lol.

thankfully there are other more technical conferences to fill the gap; but I feel like this conference has the platform to do more, and do it better.


extreme respect to nostr:nprofile1qqs8k0mcqd6sw3h524qn5gslszt9am9knmes3uh268dgnnpv3yfwj6qpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz8nhwden5te0dehhxarj94c82c3wwajkcmr0wfjx2u3wdejhgtcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0wy5a35 for speaking truth to power when he was at the panelist desk; showing disgust and discontent with the direction the Magezine has gone with arranging this conference. at least, that was my interpretation.


was there no rogue pirate stream of the open source stage? the livestream content of the ₿ conf has degraded severely over the past 5 years.

the keynote speeches included in the livestream were largely cut short on the beginning and end just so they could quickly bring back their desk panelists to ask the same tired questions about politicians and political policy.

it is fine for them to put their focus primarily into one domain, but it's annoying that it feels like it's only at the omission of the other talks and discussion happening. we don't want much, just a single camera wide view of the stage + PowerPoint, a few microphones, and an audio interface.

tis a shame


they may not want it, but if everyone else is playing ball they definitely don't want to be the loser.

if you're agitated by Trump being at the Bitcoin Conference this year,

why?

Bitcoin magazine has been pushing against the grain of many bitcoiners beliefs for a few years now. Did you expect them to stop with ordinals?

You know Bitcoin doesn't care; I know Bitcoin doesn't care. it was always going to enter into the realm of politics, and has been the target of politicians in different ways for a while now.

Bitcoin is a multifaceted tool that operates for different people around the world in different ways. for some people it will be a medium of exchange, for some it will be a gold replacement/store of value.

Over a long enough time horizon I believe what bitcoin really is will become more obvious to people; and thus, people's perspective will change.

I'm in agreement with nostr:nprofile1qqsvyc3vj9kehy8pp2qm9wn8kxdal3wkhcnvy46k68uep5mctnsnvxcpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqzrthwden5te0dehhxtnvdakqzxrhwden5te0wfjkccte9eekummjwsh8xmmrd9skcfx8aqv, everything is good for bitcoin, just not necessarily good for bitcoiners.

This is the new me. Lots of rice. Lots of lean meat. Lots of veggies.

I finished my fat loss phase in April of this year, down from 21% bodyfat in 2023 to 12% bodyfat mid 2024.

In April I hired a fitness coach to help me, and he did something I didn’t expect. At 41 he put me on a whole food diet and told me to cut out salt, protein powders and supplements all together.

I’ve been in the gym 5X a week since April, and my body craves natural foods now and my metabolism is RAMPED.

I’m eating nearly double what I was when I was trying to lose fat, and I’m not gaining fat I’m staying lean.

3300 calories a day and he wants me to get to 4000.

I started adding 1 protein shake a day while I’m in Cape Breton.

Proof of Work.

Don’t let people tell you that you need TRT to get fit at 40. The last pic is Feb 2024 AFTER 1 year of fat loss (this is when I committed to building a Citadel Body) to  2024.

This is my new lifestyle, the discipline and consistency is building to all areas of my life.

By 2025 I’ll be ready to harness the inevitability of Bitcoin and be strong enough to help more people and create the things I want to see in the world.

I hope everyone can find their citadel self. https://image.nostr.build/54584474591a6b8db098a0ac34c4a16181c3221137933ac36fb809ce76b0056e.jpg https://image.nostr.build/879dc7d8b3ce00136ee36b655c595d9b60262c02c285d3329b94ac29ba73c548.jpg https://image.nostr.build/bfdee57e9b7684593dd413e5dad2442c9ce3c9bc1376082fe080a5cd8a38e2e2.jpg

This is going to be a sort of long one (or maybe it won't?), because I have a lot of thoughts as a tech and social media enthusiast, and some of those thoughts have to do with how I feel about the direction that social media is moving in. How I feel about Mastodon, and Nostr, side-by-side, and what the biggest problems with Bluesky are.

So, let's jump right the heck in ...

_**Nostr, the misconceptions, and the truth**_

I recently wrote about [Nostr](https://cmdr-nova.online/2024/07/11/nostr-the-strangest-and-clunkiest-twitter-replacement/), and its relayed protocol of user-owned identity that you can take ... wherever. I outlined a lot of thoughts and impressions I initially had, and then what I wrote went to Reddit, and then it found itself on Nostr. It got there entirely outside my own involvement. I posted to Mastodon, and almost nowhere else.

This inspired me to log back in, and set some things up (such as domain verification from one of a few domains I own), and then I explored a bit. I interacted with people, participated in some community events that came up spontaneously, and really dug into the extreme multitude of features that run across the Nostr network.

Let's just say, I was pretty floored, and _some_ of the impressions I had were wrong. Such as thinking that a place that is more centered around the idea of lacking censorship, or robust moderation, _must_ be filled with toxic, horrible trolls. In the couple of days I've been messing with the network, I think I've muted like one person who said some off-the-wall shit in my notifications.

But ... I think Nostr has nasty people just in the same way Twitter, Threads, and Mastodon do. They exist, and they always will, no matter where you go.
Suffice to say, I learned a lot about what decentralization was, and now is. I was given [an article](https://shreyanjain.net/2024/07/05/nostr-and-atproto.html) by user nostr:npub1njst6azswskk5gp3ns8r6nr8nj0qg65acu8gaa2u9yz7yszjxs9s6k7fqx   that gave some really in-depth information about the emergence of decentralization--Scuttlebutt, ActivityPub, and then ATProtocol, and Nostr.

I'm not going to lie, I originally started writing this as a hit piece against Bluesky, thinking their ATProtocol was just a riff of what Nostr was doing. But, _apparently_, both ATP and Nostr were developed independent of each other, and mostly without any knowledge of one or the other. I think that's ... actually pretty wild, and strange.

On the topic of decentralization, which is something I feel is integral to the future of the internet, I now understand Mastodon to be a place of islands, and decentralization that occurs in a way that's more like isolated communities talking to other isolated communities. Like the latter half of The Walking Dead.

In a way, it's decentralization, the half-measure. The full-measure, that comes with some iffy trade-offs some may not like, is Nostr, and ATProtocol.

You take your identity, your thoughts, your posts, and you move freely between pieces of software, and networks, and you lose _nothing_ (this is nearly the direct opposite of Mastodon, where moving to a new server means burning everything you've ever posted, to the ground). And, honestly, I'm kind of starting to feel like that's _how it should be_. The downside, is that, on Nostr, you have a public key, and a secret key. Your secret key is something you use to log in and sign events coming from your account, and your public key is basically your identity. That's not the iffy part, though. The iffy part, is that people can use your public key to see all of your data _except_ direct messages (which are encrypted).

Not entirely _too_ scary, unless you're doing a lot of weird things on your account. But definitely something you should know if you decide that this is a journey you want to take, and you're not jaded from hearing about how much Jack Dorsey loved Nostr and it's Bitcoin affiliation (a lot of people across different platforms hold a lot of dislike for the man).

_At this point, I'm less worried about the power consumption of BTC transactions, and have more shifted that focus to content farms from the likes of Microsoft and Nvidia buying up all the AI tech they can get their grubby little hands on_.

That aside, I'm not writing this to blow smoke up the Bluesky developer's butts. I, in fact, am not favorable of Bluesky and there are some specific reasons for that. Maybe this spells their downfall, or maybe they'll be a tight-knit community that doesn't really expand all that much, _forever_.

_**Bluesky, the Apple of social media**_

Bluesky is a place that a couple million people call home (I think, last I saw, it was around 6 million or so). There's no algorithm, and much like Nostr, you own your identity. Except, for now, that's _mostly_ tied to the website's central server.

Now, obviously, there are far less people populating Nostr, but Nostr and its relays are able, and _are_ connected to both ActivityPub and Bluesky (just, not through ATProtocol).

Most of what you'll see on bsky.app are quite a few furries, an actually impressive population of Second Life users, and _quite a lot_ of LGBTQ+ people. None of these things or communities are inherently bad. In fact, I think they're probably the _only_ reason Bluesky is really alive at all, today.

My angst and negative feelings about the direction of Bluesky have nothing to do with the LGBTQ+ community, or any other community residing on the platform.
The issues I mainly hold have to do with how far up their own asses the board and developers are, in regard to the platform, and its development over the past year or so. This is why I _kind of_ think of them as the Apple of social media. And you might think, "Hey, don't you _own_ like a billion pieces of Apple tech?"

Yeah, I do.

But this is more like if Apple skipped over having Steve Jobs and just went straight to some random guy who didn't know what he was doing. You know, like putting up a wall and locking out all potential users _for a year_, and keeping all new sign-ups under lock and key via exclusive codes. As you might imagine, having that walled-garden erected through six or seven different events where people were leaving Twitter in droves, _very likely probably_ worked _against_ the social network's best interest.

Mainly, because Threads came out of absolutely nowhere, and sucked up _most_ of those users.

That's only _half_ of the issue, though. The other part to all of this, is that the developers I see directly _on_ Bluesky do not recognize or acknowledge this _at all_. Paul Frazee, whose influence goes back quite a bit further than Bluesky, posts as though it's the greatest platform _ever made_ (maybe just because he's a developer for Bluesky). But the website, despite its six million some-odd users, _feels_ almost completely dead.

Which is _ridiculous_, because, as I've said, Nostr has far less users than that, and it most definitely doesn't feel dead when you post.

Not to mention, we're over a year into Bluesky, and it still, more or less, is propped up to look, feel, and act just like Twitter did in 2014. ATProtocol, in this respect, still feels mostly like an afterthought that's inaccessible to most users.

Meanwhile, if you _really_ like Nostr, you can get going with your own chunk of the network immediately, [with about a page](https://docs.soapbox.pub/ditto/install) of install commands.

It's this mixture of grandiosity that emanates from Bluesky, and the blunder of keeping their doors closed through one exodus after another, that I think they've shot themselves in the feet so much that they now don't have feet. They have stumps.

But, if you've followed me all the way through this article, I _think_ there's a way they can blow the doors open. But, then they'd have to sort of abandon their idea of the ATProtocol, and stop trying to be the center of social media they most definitely are not, and probably never will be. And, really, that's the final issue I have with Bluesky and the ATProtocol.

It _feels_ like they're trying to do Nostr, but be corporate-owned. Bluesky doesn't feel like it's owned by the people, developed by the people, and run by the people. It feels like it's run by some suits, who give the impression that the people will have their freedom, _as long as they say it's okay_.

And that, my buddy ol' pal, just ain't okay.

_**The elephant and the ostrich**_

Which brings us squarely back to Mastodon, and Nostr. Both platforms have their own merits. Nostr is about controlling your own content, and what you see, and largely eschews censorship to a high degree. But everyone can see almost everything you do and are talking about, whenever they want. Mastodon, on the other hand, puts the tools into a user's hands to _create_ a network, and build their own communities, while picking and choosing _who_ those communities interact with. A network that ... encourages users to police everyone around them ... which is how we end up with tyrannical admins acting like they work in a prison, and they've just been promoted to Warden.

If only there were some way to take the best parts of both of these animals, and make them _one_.

An elephrich.

For now, though, I am at least pretty content to screw around with both while I feel around and see what sticks. In the age of corporate control and censorship so heavy that people can't even say "kill" or "suicide" any more (these are only two of the most egregious examples I can think of), I think it's healthy to explore your options, and cement your identity, and who you are online, before everything else we've come to know is lost _completely_.

If that's something you care about, at least.

I'd recommend housekeeping of passwords used for your email or other important accounts, just in case


why not both? People may want to propagate pornographic content via specific relays, but still have it NSFW tagged via the client, and toggle that when applicable to their situation.


fuck the devs that keep wasting their time on:

- shit no one needs while nostr’s foundation isn’t still fully developed

If government policy could fix problems, then the problems would already be fixed.

Government policy *is* the problem.

Someone at a conference just handed me a Cashu ecash token worth 512 sats issued by their own mint and printed on high-quality paper.

Casual reminder that if you’re a man, you do not have to be a macho super dude 24/7. You’re human. You can cry. You can ask for help. You can be soft. You can be vulnerable. None of that makes you any less of a man. You have many many many dudes that have felt what you’re feeling that are still dudes. And all of those dudes are here for you.

I love you, dude.

No it doesn't show any "shift in tone torward crypto". It's a PR stunt which could lead to more money for the election campaign. Don't give your bitcoin to dementia man or orange man, they don't give a flying fuck about bitcoin (or cRyPtO for that matter).
