Painfully true. People who build great UXs will build very successful businesses


The future is already here, just doesn't have a good UX yet.


Most public companies don’t have founding CEOs. No leadership teams with appetite for risk.

Tempted to make a nostr app that posts "GM" for me every morning at sunrise


how big is that utxo set now?


Agreed.

I’m very grateful to those putting in the work, with or without funding.

At this stage, I think it’s more important we tinker and discover new use cases than make polished copycats of things that already exist.

But if the goal is mass adoption, user experience will be most important.


I think this hurts because it’s true.

Good software takes a lot of time and effort. Needs to be able to financially sustain itself so it can go the distance.

There’s just not enough funding so we have a lot of half-complete hobby projects.

Brother, you gotta post some food porn here. I know you got the goods. I want my feed full of pictures of your tasty food lol


"As a chef and Bitcoiner, I’m starting to see the powerful intersection between food systems and Bitcoin. Both thrive on decentralization—local food networks empower communities, just like Bitcoin empowers individuals. Bitcoin Food is about creating sustainable, transparent food chains while leveraging Bitcoin to support local economies. 🌱🍽 #BitcoinFood #Decentralization #Sustainability #LocalEconomy #Bitcoin #ChefLife"


🚨 Podcast Recommendation Alert! 🚨

If you’re interested in current affairs in Argentina and want to get the inside scoop on what Javier Milei is doing, I found this podcast to be incredibly accurate and insightful. As someone living in Argentina, I can say it really captures the pulse of the situation here. 🎙🇦🇷

"Farm-to-table is about more than fresh food—it's about trusting the producer and building transparent supply chains that support circular economies. 🌱 When we know where our food comes from, we strengthen our communities and ensure sustainability. Bitcoin adds another layer of trust and transparency, empowering local economies with decentralized financial systems. Together, we can create resilient systems that benefit both farmers and consumers. 🥕🍽 #FarmToTable #CircularEconomy #TransparentSupplyChains #Bitcoin #LocalEconomy #Sustainability #FoodSystems"

 nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f is a unpaid 100% passthrough volunteer organization.

The whole team genuinely cares about the mission.

We have extremely very diverse opinions and backgrounds and very limited operational resources for the volume of applications.

No application is decided by a single person. We also have committee of also volunteer peers who also opine and vote. Once the committee votes with soft ACKs. We have a minimum of 5 positive votes by the board for approval policy.

Everyone and their applications are considered! But we are not going to fund everything. After careful volunteer time is used for reviews a vote is made.

There are many orgs with different methods.

No one is entitled to be funded. Pro tip, be graceful. Aside from being extremely unprofessional to shit on OpenSats in public, you are shitting on unpaid ppl who are trying to do their best and are not perfect. We simply don't have the time and resources (and shouldn't waste money) on giving each and everyone a very detailed feedback. we are talking about hundreds of applications and a dozen ppl here.

Criticism is very much always welcomed and encouraged. We need to know what we can do better.

If you truly care about improving, send a fucking EMAIL. Bitching in public only hurts the ppl who are doing the work.

The FOSS funding will continue until freedom improves ✌

Hahaha yes! But I think we should have lots and lots of separate databases that update each other over nostr relays.


I think the word relay is fine. It literally relays information to subscribers. It’s definitely a better word than “broker” or something from the MQTT world.

The main issue I have is clients that treat relays like databases and need to make network requests to build the UI.

Load times are slow, bad UI experience, and drains the shit out of my battery.


Relays are not databases.


I just created cosanostr.com, where you can get a free verified username for nostr.

The idea being that your business nsec would be only be on one phone or computer, then you would authorize it to sign events coming from other apps and devices.

Remote signers that come to mind would be:

These notices are getting more common and motivating me to help rebuild the web with nostr & bitcoin so this data never needs to be collected in the first place.

LFG! https://image.nostr.build/1c61c4cd959a266df03106982cb6c49a70ff7c2fa7719659838b33adc2cecd0d.jpg

Bitcoin doesn't need governments to win. It doesn't need governments to stack it. It doesn't need to ask for help.

Instead, the bar is much lower. Bitcoiners, in their preferred jurisdiction, would benefit by not being hassled by their government. They'd like to be able to buy it without problems. They'd like to be able to pay for energy and equipment and mine it in peace. They'd like be able to write open source code without facing legal problems. They'd like to be able to operate reputable businesses related to it. If they can't, then some of them will move as necessary.

It's helpful for the ecosystem to have non-hostile jurisdictions in the world. And for those that can't move without great sacrifice (i.e. most people), it's helpful for them that whatever jurisdiction they are in, is non-hostile.

So it's good that bitcoin is getting into the Overton window. The industry has some power now. Bitcoin benefits from builders and educators and advocates. It benefits from those who do their best to prevent the worst legislative outcomes against self-custody, against privacy, against running a business, against mining, etc.

But Bitcoin doesn't need to pander to them to proactively support us, and bitcoiners should recognize the sliminess of politician incentives when they come to pander to us. While it's in their best interest to build national reserves if they actually figure this thing out, we don't need them to build reserves.

I think that's the helpful line. That's where the signal is. To the extent that we minimize how much we are tread on, and build multi-national accepting footholds to pivot around, we gradually build what we want to exist.

We ask to be treated fairly, we use our resources to help ensure that we are, and to the extent that we are not then we adjust as necessary.

BUT OVERALL, I agree with your point. Npubs + network should be good enough for most use cases.

I just think a NIP-05 — or something better thats human readable & memorable — can add value for at least two edge cases that come to mind:

— Medium switch, solving the "radio problem" people have with bad domain names.

— No overlapping networks, whether its simply a new interest (like newcoiner) or a newly established npub for creator/consumer.

Definitely not necessary, but can still be useful.


I know. Now multiply it by 100k!


But there’s no global state… how will we know when we reach 100k?

Bros gonna be jacked


I agree, but I can see scenarios where it’s hard to do find someone across different mediums.

For example, I might just be getting into bitcoin (No bitcoiners in my social graph) and I’m listening to a podcast guest I want to follow.

nip-05s are much easier to communicate over voice/billboard/whatever than an npub.


Fair.

But, android phones are also one big touch screen.

Makes sense why you'd want them.

Unfortunately Primal just loaded one reply from you at a time, so I had to keep tapping and waiting for the next note to load... very annoying to read and impossible to skim.

I had a similar experience on Damus.

I guess this is what the frontier looks like 🤣


This is great.

But next time can you just make it one long note? This is nostr, you can write long-form for free 🤣


I listened to the What Bitcoin Did Saylor podcast, and I really want to respond, though that may be unwise. But I want thoughtful, fearless content in my feed, so I should start making some, right?

Firstly, while analogies can provide useful guide rails for understanding, listening to people *arguing* using analogies makes you stupider. Debate the thing itself, not the words about the thing: it hurts my head to even think about doing this, so I won't.

Let's set my priors first: I assume we're talking about technically solid, well-vetted, backward compatible protocol changes: this is the minimum bar.

I don't wholesale agree with Saylor's "don't threaten anyone's investment" hard limit. This has happened multiple times in the past, from the dust limit breaking SatoshiDice, enabling Lightning threatening miner fees (real or not), and segwit breaking stealth ASICBoost. These interests can, and will, stand up for themselves and will compete against other benefits of changes.

To be explicit: I consider any protocol change which makes block space usage more efficient to be a win!

Obviously Saylor is invested in Bitcoin the asset, and can afford to do all his business onchain in any conceivable scenario. His projection of a Bitcoin world in which there are 100,000 companies and governments who use Bitcoin as the base layer is interesting:
1. This does not need "smart contracts", just signatures. By this model, Bitcoin Script was a mistake.
2. It can work if Bitcoin does not scale and is incredibly expensive to spend and hold. By this model, the consumer hardware wallet industry is a dead-end and needs to pivot to something else (nostr keys, ecash?)
3. You could do this with gold, today? Bitcoin here is simply an incremental, not fundamental, improvement. I think this is suggestive, though: that such a network would not be long-term stable, and very much subject to capture.
4. In this view, Saylor is simply a gold bug with first mover advantage, shilling his bags. That's fine, but it's important to understand people's motivations.
5. This vision does not excite me. I wouldn't have left Linux development to work on making B2B commerce more efficient. I wouldn't get up at 5:30am for spec calls, and I sure as hell wouldn't be working this cheap.

I believe we can make people's UTXOs more powerful, and thus feel a moral responsibility to do so. This gives them more control over their own money, and allows more people to share that control. I assume that more people will do good things than stupid things, because assuming the other way implies that someone should be able to stop them, and that's usually worse.

I believe the result will be a more stable, thus useful, Bitcoin network. I am aware that this will certainly benefit people with very different motivations than me (Saylor).

Thanks for reading, and sorry for the length!

Sounds like an excellent night 🤣


To do github on #nostr, do we need to store the code and EVERYTHING on relays or just the social stuff like issues, comments, and PRs?

I'm imagining my local installation of GitLab/Gitea holds the code I care about, has all that tooling already built out, and fetches collaborative information from nostr relays.


I assume its a visual representation of the "xxx tweets" // "xxx commits" in the profile.

Both metrics can be gamed but it seems like a cool idea to see who spends more time shipping than shit posting.


Definitely need to integrate git first.

But yes, this is super useful.

Ways to reduce reliance on Twitter to keep up with Bitcoin development:

•Bitcoin optech newsletter
https://bitcoinops.org/

•Bitcoin stack exchange
https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/

•Delving Bitcoin
https://delvingbitcoin.org

•Dozens of Bitcoin Podcasts like NVK's 'Bitcoin Review', Odell's 'Citadel Dispatch' or Sjors and Aaron's 'Bitcoin, explained'

•GitHub repositories of Bitcoin core, Lightning implementations and other open source products you use regularly

Or the best one:

Convince developers to come to Nostr by constantly telling them that Nostr is a better place for them to engage in civil discourse and escape the engagement-driven, rage-bait incentivising algorithm of Twitter.


This is the way. I live for controversial takes.

Thank you for the nostr-only content 🫡


Since returning from Bitcoin++ in Austin, I've been trying to alternate between working on Lightning one week, and Bitcoin hacking on the other.

Mainly, I've been finishing my Script interpreter cpp modification so I can make more comprehensive benchmarks. I've also given in and ordered a raspberry pi 3, 4 and 5 to benchmark.

I hope to answer the key questions on what a realistic budget for large stack objects should be. In particular, there are four reasonable limits on their size (I'm not considering changing the 1000 stack element limit, since that seems roomy!)

1. 520 bytes. We are here now, but as Script gets better that will be very limiting.
2. 520,000 bytes: simply limit the total stack size, not individual entries.
3. 4,000,000 bytes. This allows you to put the largest possible transaction on the stack. But you need a total limit of at least twice this, so you can make a copy: you can't do much in script without doing this!
4. 400,000 bytes. If number 3 is too much of a reach, this means you can put any standard tx on the stack. Again, you want a total limit of at least twice this.

My laptop, with something stupid like 26MB of level 3 cache, and my build machine with 32MB, can handle this fine. But what about the Pi?

I'll find out next week...

"Niche programmers" sounds a bit ad hominem.

Not sure what you mean by changing the fundamental nature of Bitcoin; adding opcodes uses a foundational principle of the protocol to extend its functionality.

Normal users can't be expected to understand the intricacies of protocol development; if that was a requirement then the protocol would have ossified long ago.

Overall, I agree that this miner centralization is a concern and I'm grateful that people like you have identified it and built solutions.

The part I disagree with is that we have to "make" miners do something or else we lose everything

I've never been able to "make" anyone to do anything in my entire life. The idea that I can "make" a global free market of people do something is laughable.

People don't spend time and resources adopting solutions to their theoretical problems, only the few that hurt the most.

Things will get worse before they'll get better. As people are censored or governments force miners to leave money on the table, solutions will be adopted.

Solutions built by people like you, who planned ahead and did the work.

Yesterday I didn't know that my pool, Braiins, is pushing Antpool templates.

Today I do, and not only that, there are options for me to make it better.

I'm at a stage in my life where I'm thinking every conspiracy theory might be right


Explains why he’s so bearish on nostr… nothing to own here!


Also nostr is literally more likely to orange-pill no-coiners when they get their first sats for something they share.


Don't know what satlantis is but nobody within 30 miles of me uses OPA... I want to love the app but just not enough people willing to pay to be part of the network... I've discussed this with other plebs at local meetups.

Nostr is free, and a compounding network effect from every client and community on the network.

I think long term it's easier for plebs on nostr to share general locations with geohashes (like in NIP-52) than for OPA to match Nostr's network size.

Oh thank god. I don’t have it in me today to get mad at Apple again.


I miss the hours of listening to subtle spinny clicks


Again? Haven't we dealt with this already?


Oh boy this is from a while back but here's what I remember:

- Used to be called BitClout

- 5 pseudonymous founders (their pubkeys were hardcoded in the source to grant them elevated admin privileges on the blockchain)

- Pre-mined Bitclout tokens generated by depositing BTC
  - All the big Silicon Valley VCs aped in

- Same VCs as Coinbase, so even before they had any sort of legitimacy Coinbase listed their token.

- Bitclout tokens could be used for tipping (like zaps) or trading for "creator coins" which were basically shitcoins for every user.

- Team reserved a bunch of usernames of popular twitter users to pre-pump their creator coin tokens and lure them over.
  - Elon Musk's is a good example — https://bitclout.com/u/elonmusk

- Creators I respected like Robert Breedlove fell for it which got me in

- I got rugged a bit on my own coin immediately upon sign up by scammers and confusing UX

- Tried to run the blockchain & angular front-end on my laptop to build my own client but could never get it to run

- Team ran out of money, founder doxxed himself so he could raise more.

- Rebranded to DeSo blockchain, made additional front-end client to support NFTs (diamondapp.com) and fancy marketing websites.

- On their apps you can buy DESO but not sell.

Basically its the worst of crypto. Tons of marketing, bloated blockchains, no intrinsic value, and not a 10x experience.

What I can give it credit for is exposing me to the idea of decentralized social networks. Having that shitty experience made me fall in love with nostr at first sight


I participated in the pre-mine. It’s even worse than you think lol

In #nostr, If you think of events as books...

- copied endlessly
- can easily tell if its been tampered with
- has author
- has unique id

and relays as libraries...

- can be personal, private, public, etc.
- cataloged, organized, and easily searchable
- can subscribe for new items
- can't expect every book at every library
- can't expect any library to hold and store something forever

... then entire protocol makes perfect sense.
