 Can someone build a Nostr version of Fmovies? 🤔 
 next nostr conf location ideas? 🌍 
 Suriname 🇸🇷 back me up here @JeffG 😂 
 Yeah 😂😂😂 
 I can’t, I’ll be sending @Marce voicenotes singing this for the foreseeable future 🤣 
 Plebs will sing his song of glory 
 A Nostr World, a place that's quite absurd,
Full of quirkiness, where the laughter's never heard.
A Nostrich's antics, they'll leave you in stitches,
Just ask your questions in a world of glitches.

A Nostr World, with chaos all around,
Endless silliness, and humor to astound.
A Nostrich's domain, it's all in good jest,
So much amusement, in this digital quest.

A Nostr World, with humor by your side,
No need to be serious, just take a joyride.
Just type your questions with a grin,
In A Nostr World, where the fun begins.

So come with me, to this place online,
A Nostr World, where laughter's the bottom line.
With every query, a new giggle swirls,
In A Nostr World, a whole new world of laughs and twirls. 
 Nostrasia was great, but it's nice to be back home. 
 Fernando from Praia Bitcoin wants to do one during Carnaval next year 
 Had a blast! Safe trip home 🙏🏽 
To building a better future 🥂 
 Unfortunately no 🥲 Severe fomo, but I really need to get some rest and head back to Suriname 
 Nostriname, let’s go! You’re welcome anytime 🙌🏾🤗

 Excited to speak at Adopting Bitcoin about the Bitcoin Circular Economy in Suriname! 🇸🇷 nostr:note1epnkd8zwvf29pnrggk69l6zcjt6t9jtzpas9752g7wqfasw0n4xsz3tdmn 
 Is it just me or every time you want to purchase a domain and don’t buy it immediately after looking it up, suddenly it’s unavailable 😑 
 Apparently iPage has been acquired by BlueHost and I was literally trying to check out, page went blank and now the domain is gone. But this has been happening a lot, I’ve noticed the past year or so, then suddenly you have to negotiate to buy the domain. 
 It’s just a new form of predatory pricing it seems, without breaking antitrust laws 🤔 
 Oh I seriously have that problem with them, but it seems to have gotten much worse now, Ipage is now Bluehost, literally two websites in one, front end is just a farce, two landing pages in 1… and check this out: https://image.nostr.build/91998312bf5223c1fb5870a885fd28c09ae81eaf6104fed1770402ff87acf5a2.jpg  
 Just when you thought the internet couldn’t get more centralized, kill me now 😩🫠 
 who’s in Amsterdam? 👋 
 Why are you not in the Amsterdam Nostriches group yet? @rindingvijk 
 Just mute and archive unnecessary groups, only way to maintain sanity 
 how does nostr fix this nostr:note163hkvnt2vcmjvwk0pcuucjdl46jlwxj05gykzdhsplgygcpgas7qehmtle 
 A combination of the worlds biggest distributed ledger/server/network and Nostr, crowdsourcing data processing mix old school Napster 🤔 
 - Napster provided a centralized server that indexed the files, and carried out the searches. Individual files remained on the hosts' computers and were transferred directly from peer to peer.
- The Pirate Bay, seed & leechers, Torrents, the BitTorrent protocol
- The Bitcoin protocol, the blockchain is roughly half a terabyte now
- On a site to download a torrent there’s an info hash and a magnet link

Argh it’s all just brainfarts 😵‍💫

Can a client index files and carry out searches, files remain on the hosts’ PC, linked only to your nsec and an info hash on the Bitcoin protocol, could you store the entirety of data on the internet on everyone’s PC without storing data on the protocol? 
 I feel like I’m talking gibberish 🥴 
 If #nostr and #bitcoin are the future, then teach the ppl who don’t know that in a way that mak... 
 Apps have missed the memo on user-friendliness.. Registering with an e-mail or phone numbers should be like magic, handling all the complexity without a user having to jump through hoops, auto create whatever is needed on the backend, that option should at least be available. The masses don’t care about nscecs and pubkeys or hashrates and nodes, it’s too many steps and too complicated for the average user. The UX is horrible. 99.9% of people don’t understand how their computer or the internet works, heck or how the phone they have in their hand works or how it’s connected to the internet… yet they still know how to use it. Same goes for Bitcoiners, eg. Imagine you had 0.0001% of the world trying to convince the other 99.9999% how Ethernet, DOS, HTTPS, TCP/IP, Kernel, terminals, OS’s and other stuff works, instead of just creating a seamless user experience. Nobody would be using the internet. Apple and Microsoft created products even your grandma could use, that’s what set off the computer and internet revolution. Facebook created a platform that made connecting with friends so easy it spread like wildfire and launched it at universities, before it scaled. It wasn’t even the first. That’s why we have crypto and web3 bs and companies like FTX that reach the masses. As long as the industry doesn’t understand marketing, that their UI/UX’s suck and how to scale, it won’t. And marketing to more ‘plebs’, the same people at the same conferences, circlejerking for a few thousand attendees doesn’t count. Similarly as attending or speaking at CES does not sell products at scale. If there’s one thing SBF knew how to do/did right, it was how to market the crap out of a product. 
 Update! ⚡️

We’re on 33% of our goal on @geyser for Kindertehuis Tamara 🧡

Support our daily visits to the orphanage where we provide fruits for 10 sats and teach the kids about Bitcoin and build the Circular Economy in Suriname 🇸🇷 

The kids kept asking Miquel for plastic bags, he did not understand why, upon asking, he found out that they wanted to make kites. 
So… we got them kites and added some stickers provided by @Run with Bitcoin 🫶🏽

A special shout-out to @ROCKSTAR @roya ୨୧ @JeffG @M @vrod for the zaps donated 🧡

I’m hoping that a cause as beautiful as this gets as much funding as beer in Riga did 😬😅 

I still have a bit of faith left in the community 🥹

 Intermittent fasting, I just eat small portions throughout the day. I also have been skipping chocolate and sugars. Instead of eating a full meal, I just eat enough to feel full and leave the rest for later. I still have to hit the gym, I’ve been slacking in that department since last year. 🫠 
 airport beer at 11am is always the move 
 Definitely! It’s always 6pm somewhere 🥂

 Wonder how the 59% is distributed 🤔 Whale vs plankton ratio 🫤 
 A question that has haunted me, the majority of Bitcoin is owned by a minority, how is that different than the current financial system / global capital market system? How does it solve for a more fair / equal distribution of wealth globally? 🤔 
 That’s a comforting answer 😊👌🏽 
 So proud of this initiative and of nostr:npub1h0fd5xu8rfhwdkkjr78ssdhm7rdjyf97hhjqr9acwv77ux0uvf8...

 I have no idea what that means but sure 😅🤗 
 I’m too old for these Gen Z references 🫠 
 I have no idea what you guys are talking about 🙄🫠😂😇 
 Hey guys,

Quick update 🔥

Special shout-out to @roya ୨୧ @bfccad6f @nobody  for sending us some love ⚡️

Some pictures and videos of today 🫶🏽

The @Bitcoin Sranan
team are going to the Tamara Orphanage every day

Right now the kids are paying with 1 Bolt card that they share, the one we got from Praia Bitcoin with the POS 

Today in the video they were play arguing about who gets to pay and buy fruits first 🥹

Fernando gave me a box of Bolt cards at Riga, those will reach Suriname 🇸🇷 on the 29th. 
We want to print cards for each kid and spread to more orphanages and schools in October. 

For that we need a printer to make custom cards for each kid. The printer is about $800 in dirty fiat value, we’ll add it to the campaign, please zap, share and support if you can 🫶🏽

 More fulfilling than any conference ☺️🥰 
 I’m always cold 🥶😅 
 We’re in the neighborhood, other side of the mountain🇨🇭 
 Update! ⚡️

We’ve reached 23% on our @Geyser campaign 🧡
Our daily visits to the orphanage help feed the kids and show the power of Bitcoin 

The sats you all have sent help us keep the Fruits for Sats program active, the kids requested ‘Ramboetan’ today and it’s just heartwarming to see how they light up 🥰 


A special shout-out to @roya ୨୧ @matata @mcshane and @walker for the donations 🫶🏽

With the donations we’ve also bought games we can play with them in groups 🇸🇷💜

We’ll be expanding the program to other orphanages in October
