 I want to make my master degree on nostr-related area. Can someone propose an interesting topic?  
 Do we all agree that X is now state-"owned" media again?

Can you propose an interesting topic of research or suggest an idea to work on?  
 System programming, I must create a final project, implement it, defend it, show how it works and why is a good alternative to what we have.  
 I was thinking implementing a nostr-relay, but I think there are already many good ones (maybe we can do more, but I don't see it), maybe a marketplace, some nwc new ideas,  idk. I wish I could find something exciting, because I must work on the project for almost one year, so, I want to choose right, to use that time and effort studying something that worth it for me.  
 so far trump has assigned vivek+elon for gov efficiency, tulsi for intelligence, rfk for health. ...

 Insane volume today! I think we’ll see $100k today🚀 
 The most bullish boy I have ever seen, give me time to stacks more sats pls  
 I am not happy with the governments starting buying bitcoins, because with the price increasing, inevitable, it will come a time when stealing it will be more economical that buying it, for wining their game theory challenge. In any case I am sure, bitcoiners will survive the attacks, but can be a huge damage for many people. We are so happy now, we are building our future, but remember that the battle for freedom is eternal, bitcoin alone can not solve everything.

 My wife said "100k before december". She is so bullish

 Of course, 50 < 21M, then ordinals shit is more valuable than bitcoin. Makes sense jjjj.  
 #Lightning is the solution, and I hope with #ark everyone can use layer 2 non-custodial, big dream, but I think amazing stuffs are coming.

 Natural disasters appear to continue. A possible hurricane (Rafael) will hit Cuba. Cuba has been facing serious infrastructure problems for a long time, housing in very poor condition, power outages lasting 10 hours or more every day; all of this due to a terrible communist dictatorship that has ruled the island for more than 60 years. This whole situation could be greatly aggravated by the impacts of a possible hurricane (it is not yet clear how strong it will be when it reaches the Cuban coast).

 Most people ignore bitcoin still, I believe, because of the complexity of truly understanding how it works. They often prefer simplicity over freedom, so they just trust an entity that hides this complexity from them giving their financial sovereignty. 
 Anyone knows something about Ark? Anyone is running it? I am interested, I want to hear some opinions.  
 Es muy triste lo que ha pasado en Valencia, demuestra la enorme diferencia entre el pueblo y los políticos españoles. Mientras las personas acudieron y acuden masiva y desinteresadamente a ayudar, los políticos ponen en primer lugar sus intereses y batallitas políticas, incluso si eso significa no proveer ayuda clave en las primeras horas después del desastre. Por un lado lo mejor del ser humano reflejado en la sociedad civil española, y lo más bajo, oportunista y asqueroso del lado de los políticos españoles y su presidente. Amunt Valencia! 
 How to onboard when time is as scarce as bitcoin. Amazing story.

 Yes, nostr:nprofile1qqstxwlea9ah3u6kjjszu6a7lrnhqkfh8eptp2z6v0e9558tlkkl2rgpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wshszxnhwden5te0wfjkccte9ekkjmnfvf5hguewvdshx6p07xr4s5 is soo cool. It is easy, you can just install and use it, having the benefits in privacy off the cashu protocol. You can use the app in a non-cuatodial way running your own mint backed by your node, what is so interesting. Great project!  
 Lightning liquidity question. (Phoenix Wallet) I was under the impression I needed to send out sa... 
 That's right. If you want to increase inbound liquidity, sending out to on-chain from the target channel of course theoretically increases inbound liquidity. Here maybe the problem is the channel automanagment that does phoenix, I haven't use phoenix, I don't know how it manages channels in details.  
 Valencia 💔.

 If you don’t understand that Bitcoin will end wars you don’t understand Bitcoin. 
 It seems like I don't understand it so :). Maybe bitcoin can help to end some wars; but not most. There have been many times in history when the state does not fully control the currency and numerous wars have broken out. Bitcoin is great, but is not a magic solution for everything from my prospective.

 Mucha fuerza y bendiciones a los afectados por la DANA en la comunidad Valenciana y a España en general, expreso mis condolencias por los fallecidos. Este evento demuestra la ineptitud o indiferencia de los políticos para responder rápidamente ante desastres de este tipo. Alguien sabe donde se pueda enviar algunos sats para apoyar a los damnificados?  
 Alguien sabe cómo se puede enviar algunos sats para apoyar a los valencianos ? 
 Muy triste lo que ha pasado en la comunidad valenciana, es brutal, mucho ánimo. Lógicamente, no se puede esperar mucho de los políticos, usarán los tristes hechos para su propia agenda, justificar futuros fracasos y salvar sus cabezas.

 Running a full bitcoin node is a great way to enforce your rules, at least in your blockchain local copy, even against miners. But miners (more than 50% hash rate) can still restrict those rules (soft fork) in the way that you don't want, and your node will just accept it, even without running the new rules, because it is valid in the previous concensus and the chain with more work will be that, with the new rules, remember > 50 % hash rate. Can it be problematic? I think yes.

 Alby Hub does not support Core Lightning as backend, Am I right? Do you plan to add CLN support? 
 I don't think so. I have getalby ln address without the cloud subscription, and you can have alby hub self hosted btw. 
 Good question, If your ln address is not linked to any wallet for a long time. I don't think they can give it to someone else, but I don't know 100%. Anyway you can link it to another wallet that a trustworthy person provide it for you (this is custodial, caution) for a while, and then unlink it, and link it to your own DIY alby hub backed by your node.   
 Not everyone in the world will be able to use bitcoin in a sovereign way, having unilateral access to a UTXO on chain, which I think is a problem. But, at least in my personal experience, many of the people I know don't even care about sovereignty. Maybe it's because they don't know, or maybe they just don't care at all, and everyone who wants to use bitcoin in a sovereign way will be able to do so?

 Run your own mint, backed by your node, it makes it no-custodial. 
 I wanted now to enumerate the benefits of ecash and the possibility of running your own mint, what honestly is equivalent to what you just said, that it improves a lot custodial services, but does not make them no-custodial generally (for everyone). Yeah, I agree.
