 #Bitcoin might see a new ATH in the next 48 hours.

 Following written guides is very frustrating.  
 Bitcoin is not digital energy, it's a cryptographic proof that real energy was expended

 If the horse is smoking, you have a bigger, get your horse checked. 🤣 
 I finally understand how #LNDg works. 
 Yeah, it’s an unreasonably complex UI. But once you are familiar with the pages it gets gradually easy. 

This link gave me the understanding I needed to know how to use it.

Then after that I watched this YouTube video:

After that it was trial and error (errors came at a cost, not crazy numbers maybe 1-3k sats) totally worth the experience. 
 If you have questions feel free to tag me or shoot me a message. I’ll try my best to help. 
 Checking out competition. 😂
Strangest espresso I’ve ever tasted. There is a clear Cumin flavor.

 Disgusting. 🤮 
 Visiting nearby coffee shops to get a taste of the vibes and what they sell. 

This place probably sells the worst espresso ever. 
 I don’t believe it is intentional. They just don’t care what the coffee tastes like. Because everyone usually buy pumpkin spiced lattes and the milk and flavors masks everything. 
 Yes Cardamom is amazing with coffee. I don’t believe they add it. I believe it’s just a not so good espresso shot. 
 I just noticed that new Apple Reminders app add a column view feature to organize to-do list items under categories. (Similar to all other good to-do apps)

Very nice update. 
 I woke up and found my daughter fully awake playing Astro Bot. 

First words out of her mouth: I’m hungry 🤣 
 Anyone know how we adjust our blocks for the time change? 
 Heart condition experiment. 

I love conspiracy theories. 
 I’m not making fun!!

I’m genuinely interested. 
 Also, something is wrong with my follow list… I’m a 100% certain I used to follow you. And I never unfollow anyone. 🤔 
 But, but, but government efficiency with Elon and Ron! 
 Trump was trying to get every last voter even if policies contradicted 🤣🤣 actually many of them did. No one cares 😅 
 The fact that Microstrategy holds significantly more Bitcoin than Coinbase is absolutely hilarious. 
 Really? You mean as a company or in general. 
 GM. 

Today I will be attempting to run a “real” relay  that only accepts posts from verified NIP-05 npubs. 

I don’t imagine this be difficult, but I’ve never tried this beyond what @umbrel  provides. 
 What’s not? 
 You mean the nip-05?

This will be done for cafe customers in person. It will be verification. As part of the loyalty program. 
 I want the marketing tag next to their name if that makes sense. 
 5 people will be using this. But I’d like to start it the right way. 
 House nigga, don't fuck with me

 10 million worth of game for $9.99. 
 But I’m still here and let be honest, I’m likely to lose my house keys nostr:note1r7kn47mslfr... 
 I don’t think the problem with key is “losing” them. The real problem is leaking them. Since this process is irreversible. 
 I’m going to do a #NoNodeNovermber

Starting today, I won’t open/close/rebalance or touch anything on my #lightning node. 

I’ll just let it run in peace. ☮️ 
 A break would be nice. 
 I already lost lol. 

Change the fee on one of my channels by mistake. 

Ok from now. 🤣 
 And I completely failed this. 
 I want to run a relay + a nip-05 service. where do I go?

#asknostr 
 I saw LNbits has these features. But they are not user friendly. People need to install extensions and figure out things. 

Where can one find the most user friendly app? 
 I don’t want to accept payments. NIP-05 will be free. 

And I want to create the nip-05 by hand. Like @semisol mentioned. Almost like whitelisting people one by one. For close friends and family members. 


But I don’t know how to do it, or where to start to read on requirements. 
 No way!? 
Is Ron Paul back in play?  This sounds too good to be true.

nostr:note140w5jqg5ksy20f3... 
 This is very bearish bitcoin… are they ACTUALLy going to fix things 😅 
 How about a Zap.stream election night? 
 We are all going to watch it anyway…. Why not do it together. 
 😂 
 Thanks. I think I’ll need it if I’m going to be hosting it.  But I agree with you l, seems like a Hivechat and/or zap.stream would work. 
 This should be fun. #Metallica https://i.nostr.build/IN79LiTCgKoVj6Dg.jpg

 Heard it’s going to be $100 moving forward? 
 Agreed. Bargain. 
 Lovely photo 
 Today someone took a picture of my latte art after I handed them their cup  💜 and it made my day. 

Celebrate the small thins. 😊 
 Yes. People think that celebrating the price going up is a bad thing. 

It’s the loudest signal we have, especially since we don’t have a marketing department. 
 The November Newsletter is out and we did something a bit different this time. We applied zap spl... 
 Same. 
 Probably one of the links/images. 
 I was going to vote for trump and Vance anyway, but it sure is nice to be able to hear them for 6... 
 To be fair, the Trump 3 hours sucked 🤣

I didn’t watch the Vance one though. 

I don’t want to hear 6 hours of unedited propaganda with 0 value. 
 Finally on #NOSTR!
Thank you nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nv... 
 We are all npubs. 
 Why some users put over 100+ relays into their NIP-65 Relay List 🤣 
 We can’t expect people to know things. Controls should be added client side. 

What is a NIP-65 relay list? 
 Curious, how can we be sure that early votes aren’t being disclosed behind the scenes? 

We can’t right… 
 Which timeline is this lol

 One of the best Batman cars. They are all fire, but this one was a big refresh. 
 Very true.

 Yes. 
 Many had great ideas. But they had a lot of words that exactly said Bitcoin or bit or coin same with nostr. 

I think the name we found is interesting for a Bitcoiner it will be very obvious, for a non Bitcoiner it will sound normal. 
 So did many others. 
 In 3 months. 😊 
 And I can’t wait to have you all. 💜💜
