thank you Satoshi


My first intuition is that it was meant to be filled with liquid. They speculate it could have been an oil lamp. Seems too delicate to be structural or to turn an axle or something.

Gave it a shot. Love it. Such a relief to remove obnoxious thumbnails. Reminds me of early YouTube. Thanks


If you don’t choke up for a least 1.65 seconds after watching your old car being driven away by some guy, and use the wad of cash now in your hands as a big ol’ handkerchief, you’re fucking joking bud

I have addiction issues with games like chess and poker. I dodged alcoholism but I get harmfully addicted to games. It’s a weird thing.

The greatest life lesson this year: there is a true poverty in staying in a lucrative but life-sucking job. What you gain in dollars, you are squandering in life energy. Believe in yourself, create a new plan and quit.


GM. I’m getting caffeinated now and working later, the weekends are for stacking 🌽


gotcha, well I guess the challenge is doing that on the client. I don’t see how it’s possible yet. But nostr still works, we can all chill out and live with the spam while we discuss solutions. I hope devs don’t view spam as a failure and feel they have to rush in any fix


The modern Turing Test for #ai should be whether they can write any kind of worthy poetry about lovesickness

hello and welcome


welcome to nostr!


welcome!


ok, but how am I ever supposed to mute the entire npub spam army? There seem to be many spam accounts and there seem to be more each day. Doesn’t client side “mute” seem kind of futile? Spammers can spam at scale, but how do I mute at scale?


I disable sms 2FA wherever possible because it provides an attack vector to my accounts via sim swap. Garbage security model that should not be the standard


Pegah sometime you should share how you design or how you got into making rugs! Unless that would be giving away too many secrets lol. Love ur work

Not trolling - you must be big brain. curious what types of problems you find yourself able to solve in such a way


GM and welcome to nostr


I don’t like taxes, I don’t wish to comply, but it’s impossible to subvert the state by refusing to pay cap gains taxes on KYC bitcoin. Non KYC when used p2p would be different - like cash, absurd to try to enforce taxes on it. So I think getting some nonKYC is a better first step - privacy from the get go, use like cash p2p, reporting “cap gains” is up to you

18% cap gains on my KYC BTC making 1000+% gains in a hyperinflation scenario is still a huge net profit, should I take it (probably won’t). Cap gains are the cost of using kyc btc

There is *some* privacy on the base layer of bitcoin as you know. Base layer privacy can’t be complete - tradeoff for ability to audit entire blockchain. Current layer 2/3s are working on better privacy

I take it you are a monero maxi, which is cool, we bitcoiners have a lot in common with you. I do plan to learn more about monero, I just don’t see how the game theory plays out - I expect returns on BTC to vastly outpace XMR, and I don’t see the state embracing a “privacy currency”. I do use BTC primarily as store of value, even if the parasitic US gov is leeching value from cap gains, while it matures to a point where ppl wanna use it as med of exchange. I’m fine with waiting for better L2 privacy solutions to arrive for bitcoin while I hodl.

I want to love monero. I’ll learn more about it. Also I really am god, that’s not just my username


GN 🌙


I don’t like taxes but I’ll pay them, the goal is to store value, not avoid taxes. There is definitely risk from state suppression of self custody, which only works with KYC. More plebs should acquire nonKYC BTC to hedge against this and eventually spend p2p. KYC from exchanges sucks, it’s too bad that’s currently the model that everyone complies with.


morning!


Uh oh. Is this the bot army?


welcome! Beautiful car and website.


welcome! Fuck censorship


welcome


love the music, animation is cool too


Another thing, I’m seeing accounts pop up that are posting copyrighted media (films). Does nostr challenge the idea/model of a copyright, or make it moot? Are these accounts acting unethically? Soon, will pretty much anything that can be digitized become available for free on nostr somewhere? If so, how are creators/artists going to get paid? Can we really expect ppl to provide value for value? If you don’t give a shit, are you democratic or cynical?


I can’t stop considering this point since I was lucky enough to read it. Nostr devs: are we making room for reflection as we churn out cutting edge tech? We can be bullish (and I fucking am) on nostr but still self-critical and philosophical. What IS the entity we are creating here? How much pause should we take, or give?

I wish this was my crew so bad 😩


It’s 100x harder than it looks. Skateboarders are like a hidden class of mages or something. It took me 3 months just to ollie, which translates to “jump over something while moving”.  I never realized how gritty you have to be to be a skateboarder


I can hear songs and play them on piano instantly too, but I’m baffled by advanced musical composition. You listen and you’re like “yeah, sounds incredible” but you have no clue how they made the music/where they started from. So fascinating

hello anon!


My favorite artist. I find simplicity, balance and order in Mondrian’s art.  Something about it really resonates with me.


nah bro with all due respect that’d be boring as hell


Example: allpoetry, a site where ppl can write and share poems. They added AI descriptions beneath their poems. Guess what? They’re not only spoilers, but ai still fucking sucks at understanding human poetry. So right when you’re done reading the poem, and you should be inhaling its meaning, rolling it between your fingers like a cigarette etc. you get blasted with a vapid or banal text-interpretation-dump from a retarded agi model. This is bloat, and worse, it’s placed next to human art


Example: eBay. Sellers can have #ai create a description for them. These descriptions are often inaccurate, misleading or provide any relevant information about the item. Sellers can just click a button and a fluffy, verbose item description gets instantly generated. The problem is that much or all of it may be irrelevant.


Some (I said some) #AGI automation doesn’t create benefit. There, someone had to say it


welcome!


It’s not for me, at least from primal, so u know


I’m finally back at the gym. Took months of getting past personal friction to get here. I have a workout/nutrition plan this time too. Gotta celebrate this victory and keep going. LFG


When it doubt, open source it. Give it to humanity and let them use it, break it, build on it and scale it


hey boss check your junk folder. I sent you an e-postcard with a friendly .exe attached for ur birthday


GM ☀


The modern Turing Test for #ai should be whether they can write any kind of worthy poetry about lovesickness


yeah I’m kinda mad primal requires KYC. I can’t view the info I provided either. I probably used a burner email but I’m not sure. Why do they need to even ask for anything? Seems against the spirit of nostr


*the only possible avenue


The reason that the middle class is eroding (getting poorer) is that wages are stagnant while cost of living rises. The only way to escape? Get assets, which are also rising. This requires some extra cash, which can be hard to come by if your wages are stagnant and cost of living has been rising. I’m so bullish on #bitcoin but I’m also trying to find a way to keep my head above water so I can buy more, all while living in a way that’s somewhat fulfilling. Entrepreneurship seems like the only way to possibly avenue to escape the “stagnant paycheck, get rekt by price inflation, get poorer” doom loop.


Agreed, though I haven’t generated a key pair for my “real identity” yet. Why do some on here advocate for doing this as soon as possible? #asknostr #askstr


when you get to day 100, tag me and I’ll begin my 100 days. I’ll ramp up to 100 per day in the meantime


hello world


Is there a way too see the “KYC” info I provided when signing up for nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg? #asknostr


Is this true?


you tasted and spat out an unidentified mushroom? Didn’t know that could be done safely


Auto-follows were the only thing that annoyed me when using nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg for the first time. Or maybe this is client independent?

Public libraries in the U.S. are cowards. If someone doesn’t return your book you gotta send me to get it back. That’s right, I’m the book repo guy and I carry a HANDGUN


The golden rule says to treat others as you would like to be treated. Well I wanna be fucked in the ass #jokes


I’ve heard some devs saying that nostr will be the backbone for the future internet.. help me understand what this means? How does it go beyond a protocol for sharing notes for example? #ask #asknostr #askstr


my #bitcoin psychology:
Bitcoin is up? I won’t sell now, I’m too bullish!
Bitcoin is down? I would never sell now, I’m too bullish!


I’ll look for a chance to create a small one. Thanks. Also set up a lightning wallet so we can zap you lol


It’s true. I get so envious when I see pics of art studios and I’m not much of an artist at all. It is good for the soul, I’m sure, to just spend time there.

It's faster than fiat currency
And harder than gold
It's liquid, like water - though
It's easy to hold
But, the Bitcoin network is only like 15 years old
And adolescent mood swings will make lettuce hands fold
You can buy some
If you’re feeling so bold
Young? Yeah, new and nascent
But ahead of its time, like a prophet foretold
With blocks like a watch
10 minute tocks, and
Math problem locks, it’s
Man’s cosmic clock, and
With code like a glock
Satoshi shook the Nixon Shock
See diamonds are forever (shiny rocks)
But so are fiat wars
Bailouts, debt and MMT
They use for inhumanity
How long til you get clarity?
Inflation is an evil tax
Your greenbacks melt like candle wax
Most of you can’t stomach facts, but
When my hero speaks and says
The money’s badly broken
A dozen words may do instead
Nostr Lyn has spoken

(trying to small talk with a guy who is a glass cutter by trade at a corporate happy hour inside the gaylord hotel & resort in Denver, CO) so  uhh you ever shatter any huge pieces of glass or something?


I think more plebs, especially US based plebs, should be focused on acquiring non-KYC bitcoin. I think of it like a hedge against over-regulation. Get some, save it for a rainy day and spend peer to peer


If you are truly long bitcoin, stop buying things you want but don’t need. Reject fiat behavior and value your own life energy #stayhumblestacksats

everything in my life seems to be converging along with the #halving. I’m quitting my fiat job bc I think I’ve been working for morally corrupt causes. I’m reevaluating where I want to live.

thank you for sharing. Reading that the 21m supply cap was an 'educated guess'  for Satoshi was so cool. Turns out he is/was human after all
