I'll draft dodge so hard if this f'ers drag us into ww3...


Escalating U.S. involvement in this conflict—especially after the crystal clear mandate sent by the American people—is a deliberate act of defiance against our democracy. Ironic. Doing so in a lame-duck session, against public will, and in a way that objectively heightens our risk of nuclear war, might be the most infuriating and malicious thing Biden has done in office.

Nutsacks and nutzaps do fix it and I agree about the mint selection happening automatically, kinda like we do with relay selection.

The critical aspect is educating users if their balance grows too much, particularly when it grows in a single mint.

Hey I'm not responsible for the Overton Window 🤷


Nostr and Bitcoin fundamentally clash with the ideology of the modern left. To highlight the importance of freedom tech to them, one must first dismantle several deeply ingrained assumptions they hold about the role of centralized power and control.

:elmofire:


Btw when you run a PDS, it just just proxies all requests to api.bsky.app. The PDS exposes HTTP endpoints on its own domain, and when you use apps they do hit your domain, but the PDS itself just proxies the requests to the Bluesky centralized server at api.bsky.app.

Your own posts do get saved into a local SQLite database, and there's an endpoint where other servers (like Bluesky's giga relay) can index your posts. It gets away with SQLite because it literally only stores your own posts. Feeds, other people's profiles, etc all get fetched from the upstream in realtime.


Yes


If your waiting for a technical breakdown of the AT protocol right here from me don't hold your breath. I'm only commenting on the pushback at suggesting someone should write such a piece, which or course someone should


Eh I think it's literally our responsibility as people that understand the technology to expose when a solution doesn't deliver what it claims 🤷


I guess I'm just fascinated by the pushback against it's criticism... If nostr and Bluesky are both attempted solutions at the same problem, why can't we talk critically about them?


Bluesky is a shitcoin.


Really not sure I understand your point...

So developers and users that hold decentralization with upmost importance are "coping" when they point out other projects are DINO?

Are you saying it's "cope" because they have more users?


DINO


Lol hardly


It's a bit confusing no worries!  I mean you can install the new zapstore with the old zap.store. once you have the new zapstore you can uninstall the old zap.store then you'll get all your updates from the new app


Spent a few hours digging through Bluesky's labyrinthian source code. Abstractions on top of abstractions on top of abstractions...

Anyway, they make it impossible to fetch profiles from any PDS or their mega "relay" without credentials. But oddly if you run your own PDS, you can somehow fetch profiles from their central servers without authentication... huh...

So I finally figured out that api.bsky.app is their open domain.

Eg, this one requires authentication:

https://bsky.social/xrpc/app.bsky.actor.getProfile?actor=did%3Aplc%3Azhbjlbmir5dganqhueg7y4i3

But this one does not:

https://api.bsky.app/xrpc/app.bsky.actor.getProfile?actor=did%3Aplc%3Azhbjlbmir5dganqhueg7y4i3

So... they realized they had a problem. In order to be decentralized, you have to allow public access. But instead of just allowing public access to their big mega service, they made a separate service just for PDS installations and then didn't advertise that fact.


You can install it via the old zap.store app


The answer is always Alby Hub.


An experimental/pre-release nostr client specifically for notifications. Instead of using the typical push notification tech, Pokey keeps websocket connections open with your inbox relays at all times and alerts you of new events.

Totally agree about BMW. Left that car with extremely mixed feelings. Wouldn't buy a used one outside of a couple of their halo cars (but not worth it at this point).

The s2000 is the perfect car. My wife strongly disagrees 😆 but I don't care, it's perfect. Can't not smile when I drive it. And it's over 20 years old! Blows my mind.

When I'm going for utility, reliability, and value my first thoughts are always Honda. Maybe CR-V?  That or a Rav4?  For wagons (which who doesn't love a wagon?) Maybe an Outback or a XC70?


Quality was definitely an issue early on, but to be expected with new company that scaled as quickly as Tesla did.

I sold a 2021 BMW 330i xDrive to get the 2024 Model Y Performance - the build quality is comparable. The technology (if that matters to you) is 100x better than BMW's.

To date I've done exactly zero maintenance. Probably getting close to needing new rears, but that's only because I can't keep my foot out of the throttle.

Don't get me wrong, for a pure driving experience, it's not the move. I have a heavily modified s2000 that I'll never sell to scratch that itch. But in terms of a family hauler, I could not be happier with the MYP.

There is a weird thing that happens when a product becomes political... It necessarily means less objective opinions and more bad takes.  Don't knock it till ya try it.

Counter point.

Have had a Tesla Model Y for 2 years.  The performance is truly next level. I'm a simple man, it's fun being considerably faster than most sports/performance cars in my family crossover. We charge over night every night in our garage and have used a super charger twice (for free) on a longer roadtrip. Sure gas station charging in a couple minutes would be great, but the convenience of waking up every morning with a "full tank" is extremely convenient and way more than offsets it. Imagine essentially never having to go to a gas station. And yes I live in a cold climate, it's never been a problem.

Goverment mandates on any product's adoption are ridiculous/harmful/immoral.  At the same time, Tesla makes an incredible product for certain use cases. I am a major gear head and its objectively one of the best cars I've ever owned.

This reminds of this one time wayback in highschool when I brought a cooler of beers to a football game that I then forgot because I was "having too much fun".

I have very little interest in benchmarking our federal spending against other countries.  America was exceptional for a reason.  We have lost the plot.

Things that matter to me:
1) Have the States knowingly consented to The Administrative State?
2) Is Federal spending sustainable?

Like all government statistics, the BLS provided stats are a huge shell game.

Eh, I'd rather just get rid of them.


those figures do not come close to capturing the full cost of each federal employee (both directly employed or contracted)...


:partyblob:


We can do so much better.


If the private sector doesn't replace these jobs, what does that tell you about the jobs?


I think the average federal employee easily costs ~$200k.

The average salary was over $100k, and in 2021. The average cost of benefits per employee was roughly $50k. Factor in inflation and 5.2% federal pay raise coming in January, I think $200k is easy


I mean attributing each dollar to direct payroll cuts is flawed.


That's what I figured you might be doing.  Very pessimistic view, IMHO. Time will tell

Unfortunately I believe the only way to ensure something like this would be to run your own lightning node with enough routing that channel peers want to keep a channel with you.

IMO long term the only thing I'd worry about is on-chain and their UTXO management. Todays scaling solutions probably won't be tomorrow's. I'm confident that there will always be a way to transact cheaply, but hard to say what that looks like 10yrs from now. Only thing I'd be willing to bet is that there will be a path from on-chain to that scaling solution

Fucking delusional. Glad to see they're cooling off the rhetoric 🤡🌎


**Security Update**

I've got some bad news for you guys. This morning, as I was adding error handling to flotilla, I discovered that Coracle has been sending user session objects to bugsnag when reporting errors.

Who is affected: Users who triggered an error in Coracle while signed in with their private key, since December 5th 2023.

What I've done:

- I immediately released a new version of Coracle, both to web and to zap.store
- I have deleted the affected apks from my releases
- I have deleted all my error data from bugsnag
- I have deleted my bugsnag project and rotated my api key, so lingering error reports will be dropped
- I have audited my code for use of the session object to ensure nothing else like this is happening

What you should do:

- If you're logged in with your private key, log out
- Hard refresh the page to ensure you have the latest version of Coracle

The bottom line is that if you signed in to Coracle with your private key, it has been shared with me and with bugsnag. In practical terms, your keys should still be secure, since they were sent over TLS, and have been deleted. But there is no guarantee I can offer that they are in fact gone.

I take my users' privacy seriously. My error reporting implementation doesn't record user IPs, it redacts identifying data, and it allows users to opt-out. I also warn the user when they attempt to enter an nsec into a text field. In this case, I simply screwed up, and I sincerely apologize. Reply to this note if you have any questions.

:keks:


Someone doesn't understand what a special pleading fallacy is.  I haven't stated any exceptions, you just don't understand scale or gravity :D This has been legitimately funny so thank you for that


No special pleading here—just basic physics and geometry. Water does conform to the shape of its container, and on Earth, that container is the curved surface of a sphere. At large scales, water follows the curvature of the Earth due to gravity.

You can observe this curvature over large bodies of water with experiments like:

	•	Ship hulls disappearing first as they move away from shore, which wouldn’t happen if the Earth were flat.
	•	Lighthouses being visible from farther away the higher they are, another clear sign of curvature.
	•	The Bedford Level Experiment, which initially seemed to support flat Earth but, when repeated correctly with proper controls, confirmed Earth’s curvature.

If water didn’t follow Earth’s curvature, satellite imagery, aircraft navigation, and even basic GPS wouldn’t work. The fact that we use curvature in these technologies—and they function perfectly—shows this isn’t about preference or special pleading; it’s about observable, measurable reality.


this is neat: https://turso.tech/


First, Euclidean geometry is a mathematical model that applies perfectly to flat surfaces, and it’s useful for small-scale calculations. However, when we deal with large scales—like the Earth—we need to use non-Euclidean geometry (specifically spherical geometry) because the Earth is a three-dimensional object.

The concept of curvature you’re referring to doesn’t contradict Euclidean geometry; instead, it shows the limits of Euclidean geometry when applied to large, spherical objects like planets. Think of how map projections distort continents because a flat map can’t perfectly represent a spherical surface.

In fact, the Earth's curvature has been measured countless times through experiments like:

The Eratosthenes experiment (250 BC), which measured the Earth's circumference using the angle of shadows at two distant locations.

Satellites orbiting the Earth, which require precise knowledge of the Earth’s curvature to function properly.

Airplane flight paths, which use great circle routes, demonstrating how spherical geometry explains the shortest distance between two points on Earth, not Euclidean flat distances.

To claim the Earth is flat by using Euclidean geometry would be like insisting that because a triangle has 180 degrees in Euclidean geometry, it must also have 180 degrees on a spherical surface—which isn’t true. In spherical geometry, triangles can have more than 180 degrees, and that’s been empirically verified.

So, the issue isn’t reconciling curvature with Euclidean geometry—it’s that Euclidean geometry isn’t the right tool for the job on a planetary scale. Using it to argue the Earth is flat is like using a ruler to measure the volume of a sphere—it’s the wrong tool for the task.


finally installed Alby Hub in my homelab... it's incredible.  Truly next gen UX.  Well done nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm team


I said curvature.  You're barking up the wrong tree, friend


That is badass man. How long did that take?  What kind of boat?


You can measure the curvature of the earth yourself.  Don't be satisfied with just being a keyboard warrior. Go do the experiment yourself. Don't trust, verify.

Something in orbit doesn't use fuel, it's just continually "falling". To get into space, rocket fuel includes an oxidizer to allow combustion in a vacuum. This is like super well known and understood science.

Have a nice day! Stay away from the edge of the planet 😉


Lol. Ok. My point is that I can verify for myself that satellites exists, that the space station exists, etc. So maybe the car was a marketing stunt, but at the same time _I know_ (personally verified!) that we put stuff into space all the time, so I'm not sure what narrative the car would be perpetuating.

What shape is the earth?


Do you not believe in satellites? You know you can see them, right?... I have never heard this conspiracy

"the engagement farming techniques that I employ elsewhere don't work here. I can't game the system to force-feed my content down people's throats. On Nostr, my content is what it is, boring."


The ECB is attempting to paint Bitcoin as some zero-sum redistribution scheme—conveniently ignoring how fiat systems systematically drain purchasing power from everyday people through inflation. Bitcoin doesn't redistribute wealth by coercion, like fiat does through central bank policy; it empowers individuals to opt-out of that flawed system. Eastern Germany didn’t fail because the Berlin Wall wasn’t sturdy enough. It collapsed because the system it was built to protect was fundamentally broken.

Fiat currency is Eastern Germany. The Berlin Wall represents the endless legislative attempts to suppress Bitcoin’s rise. Western Germany is Bitcoin—inevitable and free.

Bitcoin doesn’t steal wealth—it restores it to individuals. The ECB’s fears reveal a truth they won’t admit: Bitcoin exposes how fragile their control is. You can build walls, print more money, and regulate, but you can’t stop an idea whose time has come. The central banks are fighting to maintain their crumbling system, but just like the Berlin Wall, those barriers will fall. #Bitcoin #Freedom


This is _exactly_ what the ECB is worried about


When I send zaps from my #strike wallet, I often don't get a zap receipt 🤔


1) governments spend too much
2) governments change the definition of money so that they can print it out of thin air
3) print money for a few decades stealing wealth from the people to finance the endless expansion of government and endless wars
4) people catch on and create a money they can't counterfeit/steal
5) governments blame the people getting on the lifeboat for sinking the ship

Incredible.

The theory is fine, Lightning has many possible vulnerabilities with respect to privacy but so does Monero, even Monero has been under attack and vulnerable for a long time.

Theory is fine but you have to put the attack into practice.

I feel that many of you here are aspergers and don't understand that things are not black and white.

To your regret, Lightning offers a good level of privacy for the sender and it is easy to get a good level of privacy for the receiver through swaps without having to resort to a shitcoin.

ETH Classic isn't to ETH, what BCH/BSV are to BTC...

In the ETH case both are shit, so it all comes down to marketing. There I agree with you.

With BTC one is actually designed specifically for a purpose (digital commodity money) and the other is shit. One is winning because of its functional properties, not because of marketing.

They are all valid sets. You can find a valid set in a single guess. But to find a set that holds any Bitcoin would take essentially an eternity


It is. But you're missing the point.


The price for an item at an auction is whatever the highest price offered is.

When you buy Bitcoin it's exactly the same situation.  The Bitcoin you're buying is Bitcoin another user is selling. The exchange is essentially running tons of tiny auctions constantly to get seller's the highest price possible and buyers the lowest possible price. When those prices overlap, the sale happens.

The same way that you can't "confirm" the correct price at an auction - because the price is set by whomever buys/wins the object - you can't "confirm" the correct price for Bitcoin.

The price of Bitcoin is whatever price most recently had a buyer and seller agree to transact. That price changes constantly and is organic.

This is an issue wannabe content moderators shouldn't take lightly.

I find it ironic that those on the left will do everything possible to avoid incorrectly labelling someone's immutible and irrelevant physical characteristics. However, when it comes to labelling someone's intentions, character, or soul - the characteristics of actual importance - suddenly their actions suggest "fuck the mislabeled".

We should call out this behavior loudly and often.

It looks like this is your first post to Nostr!  Most user won't trust you yet, which will make your content hard to find. You can:

A) Purchase proof-of-work to have your note posted almost instantly

B) Allow your phone to do the work.  This option is free (besides the battery it'll consume), but might take a bit longer

Once some users trust you, this will no longer be necessary.

Truly one of the toughest times. Hang in there Mike. Hope she feels better.

An old dog of mine had joint issues later in life and this supplement called flexpet did wonders.


That wasn't the question lol. Bitcoin makes theft through inflation a non-option. I'm saying that these systems, regardless of how well or not they work, will not be able to inflate their currencies and will become much less tenable


Relies on theft. Relies on theft.


It's incredible to me that so many people conflate philanthropy and socialism...


People always talk about this non-authoritarian socialism... care to share an example?

The question was will socialism exist on a Bitcoin standard. You answered yes.

If you're talking about utopian bottom-up socialism, ok then maybe. But that's also never existed at any meaningful scale.

Top-down socialism - aka authoritarian socialism - necessarily requires coercive private property theft by the state. Bitcoin makes that untenable.


I think AGI is pretty unlikely. But for AI I think the calculator is a perfect metaphor.

I see the scenario you're speaking about as an example of specialization and I think specialization is the magic that makes market economies work.

Why should we all be able to solve a complex math problem on paper if there is a more efficient method? And in the hands of the people specializing in math, the calculator has turbo charged productivity and advancements.

I see LLMs enabling the exact same kind of specialization but in the realm of language, which will be a good thing for the species

To further a socialist agenda lol


lmao...
Ok Microsoft... how exactly does one unforgeably prove their body has moved?


Absolute nonsense. Treacherous nonsense.


Bitcoin is not for you if you want to find "a balance between freedom and coercion".


Any socialist agenda is harder (impossible?) to implement when the government can't debase it's currency and/or confiscate private property.

You likely just have an instinct to help the less fortunate, which is extremely commendable. I would urge you, however, to consider that maybe coercion (which is 1000% necessary for any socialist agenda) might not be the most optimal way to achieve that end. Maybe freedom and strong private property rights would help the less fortunate better than any socialist program?


They were totally chill dudes


Why was it illegal for private citizens to own gold in the Soviet Union?


There is no "European" definition or "US vision".

You tell us what YOU mean by "socialism", because it sounds like it's not the literal definition.


🌶 take


Lol, no.

Socialism is the abolishment of private property.

Bitcoin is private property no one can abolish.

They aren't just at philosophical odds - Bitcoin is purpose built to make socialism impossible.

In the average human body there are roughly 7x10^27 atoms. To put that into context, that is 70,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms.

There are between 10^78 to 10^82 atoms in the known, observable universe. That works out to between ten quadrillion vigintillion and one-hundred thousand quadrillion vigintillion atoms.

There are roughly 10^77 (more accurately 2^256) Bitcoin private keys.

Each page on keys.lol generates 128 keys. Let's assume it takes each page load roughly 10 seconds.  If every human on earth started simultaneously refreshing this page as quickly as they could (with zero breaks), it would take an astronomically long time, approximately 5.35 x 10^50 years, for the first person to find a Bitcoin private key that corresponds to an address with a balance. This time frame is vastly longer than the current age of the universe, illustrating the impracticality of this approach and the incomprehensible size of numbers of keys we're talking about.

They did say he can sell it today and withdrawal the cash. They just won't let him transfer the corn. UNREAL

The Democratic Party rigged the 2016 primary against Bernie Sanders in favor of Hillary Clinton.

They rigged the 2020 primary against Sanders in favor of Biden.

In 2023 the Democratic Party changed the schedule and rules to restrict RFK from participating fairly in the primary, forcing him from the party.

Then in 2024 they disenfranchised 14 million delegates who pledged for Biden with a backroom coup, switching the candidate and the campaign funds by changeing the name on the forms.

Gotta save that democracy right?


Something about this argument always seems logically flawed to me, but it's very hard to verbalize...

Like you wouldn't see a forex trader correcting a currency pair for inflation. Inflation of one currency vs the other is the reason one becomes more valuable. If you remove inflation then you remove why one is more valuable. Circular logic isn't the perfect term but it's the closest I can think up 🤷♂

Reporting users/posts already kind of works this way, at least on amethyst. Like if someone I follow reports someone as an imposter, their post will be hidden from my feed. Or at least I think that's how it works


I know this isn't the conversation you're having, but this just made a question come to mind...

Legally speaking, when you peg into something like liquid are you selling your Bitcoin for L-BTC or is L-BTC your receipt for them custodying your BTC.  I guess the same question could be asked about Cashu/fedi?  Or maybe we don't have legal frameworks for these things yet (most likely I guess)


First up, I want to recognize that this is an uncomfortable topic!  Bitcoin is inevitably changing towards user-pays, and that's not all positive.  But facts we don't like are still facts: can't engineer a solution if we can't think about the problems.

There are three kinds of bitcoiners.
A. Those who can afford any fee.
B. Those who can afford a UTXO, but not often.
C. Those who can't afford a UTXO.

Nobody worries about the A group (and in the early days, that was everyone).  Obviously Lightning (my area!) caters to the B group, and we want it to be as large as possible.  To do this we can (1) make lightning as resiliant as we can so onchain spends are rare, (2) make bitcoin as efficient as possible so we can cram as much as we can into what we have.

(1) Making lightning more resilient and reliable is engineering.  Lots of people working on this, even before we get soft-forks which could help further.

(2) More efficiency has two benefits: obviously if your own onchain spends are 20% smaller, that's 20% cheaper.  But if *everyone's* onchain spends are 20% smaller, that means fees are lower *for everyone* too (and it's non-linear).  So we really care about all Bitcoin usage!  Some things are obvious wins: Taproot so you can avoid even putting the script onchain in many cases, FROST so you can cram your 2 of 3 or other scheme into a single key and signature.  We know we want to get more aggressive with sharing one signature across multiple inputs (Cross Input Signature Aggregation), but that needs a lot more research, and a soft-fork.

But even with all these, the math is clear: some people, even if you somehow gave them their wealth in a UTXO, it couldn't afford its own fees to spend.  The C group is real.  Spoiler alert: we don't have an answer for this!  But let's look at some approaches people have tried.

Firstly, there are attempts to move these people into the B group: give them long enough that maybe fees will reach a point they can afford.  This seems unlikely to me:
1. As fees increase everyone will start doing the work to take advantage of low fee times, and that itself means that low-fee times won't be so low.
2. These schemes tend to increase onchain footprints, so they need fees to drop a lot to overcome that (typical is 2x the transaction size, so you need fees to halve to gain anything).
3. If you really can't afford the fee, you probably also can't afford to wait.
4. You still haven't actually dealt with those who really, really can't afford the fees.  Ever.

Another suggestion is that someone (e.g. a lightning service provider) will lock up funds which would cover fees, in case something goes wrong.  This doesn't work economically, because nobody is paying $100 for a $5 user (not at scale), but it doesn't even work mathematically: the reason some people will have small UTXOs is because there are not enough sats for 10 billion people with any realistic distribution.

There are two basic approaches left:
1. Group people, so they fall into the B category (i.e. onchain tx is possible, but expensive).
2. Trust someone, but rely on incentives.

1. Grouping people is possible, but they need to work together if somenthing goes wrong.  So grouping inside a community is probably better than grouping with randos.

For example, there are various tree-of-transaction schemes where you go onchain only if the coordinator fails/goes rogue, and how much it costs you depends on whether anyone near you in the tree pays to get themselves out.  These are basically free if nothing goes wrong (one UTXO required for thousands of users!).  But this is subject to ghettoization, where the coordinator makes sure all the C people are grouped together, knowing none of them can afford the transactions they need to get their funds back.  It's particularly bad because the coordinator can insert its own fake "whales" to make it look like it's not ghettoized.

You can play with incentives here, too: more research needed.  The details matter!

2. Relying on incentives.

As a simple example, lightning-connected e-cash mints.  They can't rug individuals very easily, they have to rug everyone together (or go fractional and rug the last ones to exit).   Maybe with enough anonymity and reputation, these would be Good Enough.

More ambitious would be a single UTXO held for multiple people by a coordinator.   Can we make it so that if a coordinator is dishonest, you can force them to burn your funds?  Maybe burn more than your funds (ie. a bond)?  Won't get your money, but it aligns incentives so they're not motivated to rug you.  The details here really matter!

There's a cute scheme which has been proposed where the coordinator pays a temporary bond, and asserts that they actually have everyone's signature to transfer the funds.  If nobody challenges within a week, they get the bond back and the funds move.  If someone challenges, all the signatures are put onchain, and if they're not all valid, the bond gets half-burned and half-given to the (successful) challenger.  This is hard to make work, though.  Someone needs to get the money to challenge (hard if you don't have the money in the first place, plus it's hard to prove to someone you *didn't* sign something!), and then make sure nobody gets the challenge bond before them (in particular, a dishonest coordinator, seeing the game is up, completes the successful challenge *themselves* and gets half their bond back), and make sure someone can't grief and delay the settlement indefinitely or bankrupt the coordinator.

More research needed, here, too.

Summary

A longer post than I had expected to write.  And it's buried in the middle of a thread nobody will read.  (I do this sometimes.  I suck at marketing I guess!)

Sub-fee bitcoin amounts will have tradeoffs, involving trusting someone who has more money than you (at least, in someone's competence, even if their *financial* incentives can be made to match yours).  This is difficult to build well, and not a very exciting thing to build today, so it hasn't really happened (custodial things are much, much easier!).

This is also a key reason I believe we need to make Bitcoin more expressive: if we can do *more* with our own UTXOs, we can build better solutions.  And by "we" I mean "someone smarter than me" of course!

Feedback welcome!

Hmm idk that kinda sounds like an application bug rather than a relay bug. If the note is shown in someone's profile, then that means it can be pulled. If it's just not showing those same notes in your feed that feels like a client problem. I am not entirely sure though 🤔

I’ve been working on this new trick for a week and a half. I wanted to challenge myself to do the wrist mount magic drop thing at the very start and to get better at fitting the yo-yo through the dropped wrist mount so I started there and built the rest of the yo-yo trick combo off of that point. I still have more I want to add to this trick before I’m done with it but this is as far as I can get cleanly at the moment until I’ve got more time in practicing this part.

If the government tried to buy up all the Bitcoin it would be a very good thing. I'm not selling, are you?


A traditional DB would be way more efficient


this is complete nonsense... Bitcoin is money you can't fuck with.  It's money nobody can print.  It's money that everyone understands the economic and monetary policy of.  Such a money has enormous product market fit, including in white markets.

Does fiat money printing effect white markets?

Definitely acknowledge the revolution can mean different things to different people, largely shaped by your personal lot in life.

But seems to me that to separate money from state NGU is the most important metric. I wouldn't say NGU is antithetical to the revolution. I think it's kind of a necessity...


Is the revolution separating money and state?


Tyranny and the internet are oil and water.  You can temporarily mix them together, but eventually they always separate.

This "if he was grazed, he'd have a chunk missing" just isn't logical man... It depends on how much flesh was actually hit. It's entirely possible that the cut is very small and able to he covered up with make-up or just not large enough to see if a zoomed in picture.

This conspiracy has zero credible proof beyond general distrust.

Number must go up for Bitcoin to separate money from the state. Any large organization stacking Bitcoin (even the State) brings that goal closer to reality.

It's ok to be excited that they are contributing to their own demise.

Believe me, I feel just as strongly as you that's it's a silly conspiracy, but I made an emotional bet/response before I did my own research, and that's on me.

Nobody ever claimed it blew his ear off. The amount of blood I saw live completely makes sense with a cut or nick on your head/ear and/or bullet grazings in general.

So don't think me paying up means I buy into the conspiracy, because I definitely do not (and I say that as a very conspiratorially minded person!)


Using his link I plugged in the image ID from his original post and it pulled up the correct photo with a timestamp from yesterday. So you're right he didn't technically prove the first photo, but I did using what he sent. I'll take the L, it's all good

I'll take the L as a lesson 🤝

But gotta say... They never claimed it blew his ear off. They never claimed it was bad because of the bodily damage it did to Trump. And if you've ever cut or punctured your head/scalp you'd know it bleeds a TON. These pictures don't prove anything, other than that I shouldn't make 150k sat bets without first doing some googling 😂


Lmao sorry I'm not glued to my phone


Ok that's not the photo, but I did find the photo you posted. Looks like it is his right ear.


"man skills" is a phrase that men use all the time


Why don't you claim it?


He's not even on Twitter/x 😂😂😂
Dude do like 2 minutes of critical thinking before you post something


I'll send you 150,000 sats if you can prove that photo was taken after the assassination attempt


1) false quote
2) find a billionaire that hasn't donated to both parties (whoever is winning). It's business
3) fake news

Don't spread lies to further your cause. It does the opposite.


And when you mute someone you still see their posts?


Which app are you using?

🚨PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT🚨

Heather Morgan, AKA 'Razzlekhan' is a self proclaimed social engineer who pleaded guilty to laundering funds her husband hacked from Bitfinex (120,000 BTC) back in 2016.

I crossed paths with her in Nashville this week. After asking around I discovered she has been spotted at multiple Bitcoin events over the past year.

It's extremely suspicious that she is still walking free and hasn't been sentenced for her crimes.

I recommend that all Bitcoin event organizers treat her as a threat actor and DENY ENTRY.

Is that kosher?


I would assume the b.tc crew already attends their own events


It's seems very appropriate that Bitcoin 2025 is in Vegas

100%. You can tell when he's reading vs when he's doing standup. It's pretty obvious


I think he mostly ignores the teleprompter. Which is in theory is refreshing. I want to hear what the person actually thinks rather than some focus grouped BS. But he definitely isn't particularly good at it. Has a very strange, many times unintelligible, cadence


He blew away any expectations I had for a major presidential candidate's speech at a Bitcoin conference if you asked me 2-3 years ago. I think people have to brake check their expectations a bit...  Did you expect a fully orange pilled 80 year old man?


Nobody is claiming this isn't early lol. There is a ton of UX work left to do.  It's called building a foundation.


Yup. And you can change it to any LSP you like (If you want to use one), or manage your own channels.


Also... Mutiny is it's own node... I think you mean as long as you don't use Olympus as your LSP and manage your own channels in mutiny. You definitely do not need to run your own separate node outside of mutiny


If you don't need permission to use something in a permissionless manner, it's not permissioned.


You said "they aren't permissionless" implying neither Phoenix nor Mutiny. But then said "unless you use it in this way" which is a contradiction.


"they arent permissionless unless you use it a way that anyone can without asking for permission"


Ok so y'all just don't know what fungible means. Got it.


Mutiny and Phoenix are amazing and work great


A zap is a lightning payment that includes a nostr event. Remove nostr and it's just a lightning payment.

Is a dollar bill fungible?


Zaps arent private, kinda the whole point...
Still entirely fungible. Or if not send me back that specific sat


I’ve like for y’all to step back and think when you first got into bitcoin. Crypto gets thrown a lot and is used to confuse newcomers as being the same thing

Be a bit more lenient when dealing with newbies specially boomers lol as they hardly know tech at all

All I know is that Baron or Jr got his dad orange pilled, that counts a TON lol most importantly if your dad is about to become the next prez of these United States. A 40,000 pound gorilla of a nation nostr:note1lew4fhrtwdxqmqyssqvep2hpyfqmev0r648g3u6szmgwennfehespd50wl
