 Bitcoin is secured by a network of computers called nodes.

 Are there any nostr people that I can follow on LinkedIn? #AskNostr 
 At one point Derek Ross said he was cleaning-up his LinkedIn profile to include more conferences he spoke at. He may have been joking. I was looking for people like him that also do LinkedIn because of fiat mining day-jobs.

 Missing glasses of water with all those fountain drinks!! 
 Show of hands:

Who actually runs their own lightning nodes? 
 My human nym runs their own node 🤫 
 Great morning run along the Lakefront. You doing a ~7:45 pace? 
 
If named *Derek Ross* then a guide in life you are; whether on the nostr or some foodie app. 
 Today I created a nostr:nprofile1qqsdru78zcu6uwa6zlludjx7k87m8ft9q6e5jgsn6qe49rxzj9frwpqpz4mhxue6... 
 Who pays for the Mullvad billboards? 

Fed? 
 Unlike me, bitcoin doesn’t get tired or take a break.

 The bitcoin reward will decrease from ₿6.25 to ₿3.125 per block at block 840000. This occurs every 210,000 blocks. #BitcoinHalving2024

 I know I’m shit, but if it’s in art, does it make it true? Or does it make the art full of crap?

While nostr doesn’t “need” bitcoin, it thrives on the same ethos. If you’re a bitcoiner, chances are you’re a nostr-er. I don’t think the reverse works as new nostr-people are looking for freedom from (social media) censorship.

 Usually it takes me around 90 minutes to complete my #artwork. For the piece I posted yesterday (835483), it actually took me over 8 hours! 

Why would it take so long for such a “simple” drawing? Because I chose to document each line. 

Just as each new #bitcoin block is a further validation of its proof of work, I wanted to use the same approach to  “prove my work”. 

After each line, I scanned the paper. Repeated. Over 115 times. A little muscle fatigue too for using the scanner so frequently!!

Anyway, if your time preference permits you to view my proof of work (#timelapse in under 90 seconds), then it would be great if you gave it a watch!

 The three layers of bitcoin make-up property, payments and communications. Living a decentralized life:

Layer 1: bitcoin
Layer 2: lightning
Layer 3: nostr

 Since we’re trying to unboard from TikTok to nostr, here is the shitty video version (w/o audio) of my shitty artwork from Int’l Women’s Day that I posted to TT. #introductions

 Thank you! 💜 
 LOL it does! 
 Women's rights are human rights! We would not have bitcoin today had it not been for the mom (or the moms) of Satoshi.
