Its censoring & it's needed.

The decision is where should it occur.

On the client or via the relays. 

 Good evening 🔥🔥 

 GM mate 

 We can't all be doing it, but influencers would love that feature. 

Sort replies by zaps for the parent note & if you don't zap it at least 5 sats, I won't even see your reply. Good for the fans & good for the influencer. 80℅ of the reply guys are immediately excluded. 

Keep in mind that replying is a way that new users can get noticed. Most people not using nostr also have zero sats. We can't all use zaps as a filter. 

 Yeah kamado BBQ - charcoal fueled with temps stabilised by the thermal mass & controlled airflow.

120⁰C for about 7hrs 

 I bought my Kamado Joe when I went carnivore. Best BBQ I've ever owned although it probably cost the equivalent of 20 million sats at the time 🤣

I have a couple of little portable Weber charcoal grills for traveling that were much cheaper.

I love the taste & love that I can always cook with the energy stored in wood. No reliance on gas. 80% of the charcoal I use, I make myself. 

 It's so much easier to sell Bitcoin non kyc than it is to buy.

It is only a matter of time before people will accept it directly but until then, cash works. 

 That's a lot of guac! 

 Germany's legacy is Aldi

😢 

 The system is designed for people to voluntarily surrender their power to a few.

I wouldn't put an engineered debt crisis off the table. They need a plausible reason to print like crazy

Yes I'm aware this means creating more debt.. 

 And think about them more. 

 It will be good for nostr 

 Someone is spamming replies with unique npubs to certain relays.

It's very hard to stop or filter out. 

  - big battery with solar & AC charging ability
 - mattress, pillow & doona
 - DC fridge & freezer
 - gas stove, pot & cast iron pan
 - portable charcoal grill
 - metal bucket for charcoal
 - fresh water tank
 - an aeropress + ground coffee 

 I'm about to top my 1000L toilet tank.

I partition off the toilet water because it has a massive impact if it runs constantly. It can drain my remaining stored water within weeks.

Been putting it off 🤣.

Doing it now.

 

 Not to diminish your professional endeavors at all, but you possess within you the ability to create life.

Have some kids.

Much better legacy. 

 Let your intuition lead you.

Do what excites you the most. 

 Sometimes you meet the best & worst examples of your own country when traveling.

 Looks like I've been infected by the reply bot 🤣 

 Test 

 Good to see you here man 

 Do it for yourself man.

Try expressing your most authentic self as if nobody is watching.

What does Hats need to say? 

 It's helpful if everyone is running on the same protocol.

🤙 

 What day are you on? 

 I love an orange smokey sunset. 

 Space & contrast are both useful. 

 Incredible 

 I gave up programming professionally within1within 12 months of starting my job out if uni.

I didn't like the way it was changing my thinking & I wasn't fast/good enough.

I was experiencing if then else statements & loops in my dreams. 

 Holy shit, so did I.

That was in a job while studying IT, so I'd already consciously chosen that path.

Figuring out what the customer wanted to know & them turning that into a report. I got pretty good at writing & optimising SQL. 

 I think optimising for resiliency, optionality & privacy will be my wider goal. Allowing people to largely do what they want on their peice of citadel will be fundamental.

Each of the private areas will be separated by pasture that's actively grazed rotationally.

I think the communal area will be where most of the fun happens. A clubhouse of sorts that can be accessed by outsiders without going deep into the private areas.

It may start as just an insulated steel shed with mezanine & plaster interior. A big wood fireplace. Bar & pool tables. Covered outdoor area for BBQing & socialising. 

Commercial kitchen & cool room for processing & aging meat will be nearby.

I think it will all evolve in time naturally but this is kind of where my head is at. I'd like to be a member of several citadels for increased geographical optionality.

I'm so glad others in my social circle are also considering this. Mistakes & strides will be made along the way but we can share the costs & lessons. Fundamentally this increased optionality will cost sats & I think everyone is keen to keep the optionality:cost ratio as high as possible. 

 It's not just Americans, they're just the closest to the printer.

The whole of the West benefits from this cantillon effect.

All are fiat slaves, it's just some are more privileged than others.

 Each note appears to originate from the same person but carries a fresh new npub. Wackamole doesn't quite capture how pointless muting & reporting is.

I suspect that the only way to remove this spam is to restrict notes from npubs that have put in zero PoW. A white list approach over the black list approach that we've been using.

This would represent a significant change to the nostr experience, particularly for new users. I don't expect it to be fixed within a week. Trade offs are definitely required. 

 There's value to be had from any situation even if the situation itself was undesirable.

You can't find all the value in a situation if you are judging it & yourself though.

You have to have at least have a neutral (preferably positive) mindset to find most of the value in a situation. From there, you either get back on the horse or find yourself a new horse to ride.

There are no coincidences, why did the universe show me this? 

 It's funny how so many mushroom recipes are trying emulate/substitute meat.

I kind of just want to make a nice side dish to go with a steak 🤣 

 That hits hard.

🔥 

 Good morning Efrat 

 I see Bukele 🤣 

 He's a handsome, powerful fella 😉 

 If you can get the loan & service it, that will be life changing. 

 You stole my pic! 

 Nostriga brought a lot of people in & back.

I also hear rumours that dedbird is getting even worse. 

 It's good for the brain.

Consider it an investment. 

 Nice - I might have to get some. 

Mine just doesn't seem to want to fruit. 

Brand recommendation? 

 This is the worst thing about Bitcoin dips, everything gets so much more expensive. 

Thanks. You saved me a lot of time searching.

500K sats for a kg of Lionsmane mushroom extract?

I think I'll get the 100g pack for 100Ksats (equivalent to 1M sats per kg).

Have you looked at your lions mane extract purchases in sats terms over time? It's gone up in fiat terms but has it increased in bitcoin terms?

 

 Feeling some regret, not gonna lie. 

Have fun man, I'm sure we'll meet one day. 

🤙 

 Nope - the bot is just reposting the URL to the video already uploaded. 

I'm personally loving watching people react to it. It such an elegant way to draw attention to an issue that has existed for a while & that we're now ready to address.

Band-aids like muting certain words or phrases will not fix the underlying problem of having zero cost to npub creation. 

 I really dislike it when they have moments of quiet dialogue followed by loud music or effects.

It's like they trick you into increasing the volume & them punish you for doing it. 

 Over 4 years it's done pretty well at protecting & elevating my purchasing power.

Not so much over the last 3 years though. 

This is nothing new & is often a criticism employed by those trying to discredit Bitcoin as an inflation hedge. I think the bull-bear dynamic of Bitcoin will start to diminish this cycle as the market understands this beast better. We shall see 

 The truth is frequently somewhere in the middle.

Value is subjective & so what is good, beneficial & bad is subjective.

No solutions, only tradeoffs. 

 I treat the bot replies as a small distraction from an otherwise very pleasant experience. 

It is a problem that needs to be addressed but it currently doesn't bother me too much. 

 It reminded me that Bitcoiners love to scratch their own itch. 

 Very few. Most just see it as the only way to accumulate wealth.

It's crazy that it's one of the few asset classes where this behaviour is widely accepted. What's even crazier is that these loans are rarely marked to market. 

 This is my second trip into this spiritual world & it feels a whole heap different exploring it as a Bitcoiner.

I think there's some truth to every model but that they often make it so much more complex than it needs to be.

I think that there are elements to this journey that are so personal they just can't be shared without causing people to become more confused. What you perceive is largely based on the beliefs that you carry with you.

The ego is a tricky character & I don't think it can be destroyed while your physical heart is beating. It pretends to die & then resprouts again while you're not paying attention.

I think that we each are able to connect to our higher selves & receive guidance. I now trust that inner guidance more than any extremal guidance I receive. I suspect that many express this guidance as spirit guides & ET communications. I used to feel inadequate for not being able to tap into those frequencies.

It's funny, as someone who has been mind dominant for most of their life, intellectually understanding all this stuff doesn't seem that important to me.

I still think that the book, The 4 Agreements offers the best words for living a fulfilling life in this realm. It's so simple to understand but so difficult & rewarding to put into practice.
