NOSTR - My first Week and how you get started!

I wanted to give a quick start guide to the basics of Nostr, which includes creating identities, feed settings, clients as well as Lightning and the Nostr address.

This is a long form article, you can read it in https://habla.news/a/naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzq35l5uzr00475hcuu96luq70q74sdvdrlvfw33dtrgxs5c4kedmqqqxnzdejx5cnjv34xqurxvekz6wgfv

***I joined Nostr a week ago and wanted to recap it for myself and also give other newbies a simple introduction. Maybe this will help you get started too.***

## Step 1: Create your identity and get your private key for a browser extension

I started with the Snort client on my local home server. It created my private/public key pair and I was good to go. Then I transferred the private key to Amethyst, a pretty good Android-based client. Before looking at various clients and other nostr-based websites, I tried transferring my private key into a browser extension.
I looked at Alby and nos2x. I chose the latter because I wanted to keep my Lightning wallet separate from my identity management. You don't have to, I just found it easier.

## Step 2: If you're confused, always check your feed settings

I tried many different clients and was very confused at first. Due to its decentralized nature, Nostr relies on relays, which are just small servers, and to each one you can connect to, all your data is stored. When you post a message, write a note, an article like this or simply who you follow. The main reason and benefit for this is that there is no single point of failure or server-like entity that could be censored.
The side effect of this, combined with using different clients, was that not only did it look different everywhere, but the content was also very different. This was simply because I wasn't connected to all my different clients with the same relays. But the main reason why each feed looks different on each client is usually because you can choose different variations of feeds and some clients even offer filters for the feeds.

Scroll down to get a small overview of the clients I've tried.

## Step 3: Set up your lightning wallet with something like Wallet of Satoshi

I made my Bitcoin Lightning wallet independent of my identity. That's why I just went with the number one Lightning wallet on the market: Satoshi's Wallet. It's very simple and provides you with a Lightning address that resembles and has the format of an email address. You can add this address to your Nostr profile description and you're ready to receive Sats. Anyone can send them to you, e.g. for a good message or something else they find valuable on Nostr (like a podcast, a video, an article, ...).
Just be aware that Satoshi's wallet contains your key and the sats you have there are not really your sats. So only leave a small amount there or no more than you need for your nostr experience.

## Step 4: Set up your Nostr address

I set up a unique NIP-05 identifier that is human readable and also looks like an email address. For me, that's tobiya@nostrplebs.com, also called a nostr address. It's much easier to read, share and remember than your public key, which is just a long, unwieldy string of characters.

Some popular services are:
* NostrVerified
* Alby
* Iris
* Primal
* Snort
* nostrplebs.com

Most offer free services or at least a free tier. I chose nostrplebs.com because it links my Nostr address (tobiya@nostrplebs.com) to my Lightning wallet. ⚡

## Brief overview of the clients (I have tested)
### Web/Browser:

* **Primal**: Fast, user-friendly, nice looking, easy to use
* **Coracle**: Focuses on decentralized reputation, privacy and trust metrics. Also well organized and structured
* **noStrudel**: The most comprehensive I've found, has everything
* **Rabbit**: Designed like X (Twitter) Pro, focuses on everything at once
* **Nostter**: Clearly structured, easy to find what you're looking for
* **Snort**: Fast web client for those who prefer simplicity and speed.

### iOS
I'm not an iPhone user, but everything I've discovered says that Damus is the best app for iOS.

### Android:
* **Amethyst**: Feature rich for Android, I only tried this program because it gives me everything I currently need on my phone.
* **Primal**: Works seamlessly with Primal on the web, which is a pretty convenient starting point if you only want to use one client.

As for the web clients, I'm still figuring out which one will be my favorite. But I think they're all good in their own way. In the time of writing, I am mainly using Primal on Android and Web, Amethyst and noStrudel.

### Let's have fun!!

What can I do for #nostr ? 🤔💜🫂🤙🏻


Don't go down with the ship! Opt out, buy bitcoin.


Trusted third-parties are security holes. Especially with PII. Got reminded of this again today.


I would check out this review from nostr:nprofile1qqspnzgrfett3asxcuj0gksje6z2zxzpvgd27uvz58m9vsuqh8zzw6cpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqgjwaehxw309ac82unsd3jhqct89ejhxqg5waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t0rjj54p. He does a great job explaining different apps and hardware wallets.

If you have never made pull request to a free open-source project you should make that your weeks challenge. Even something simple, like fixing some spelling in a readme doc. Don't be scared. There's a bunch of technical ways to make a pr, but the easiest is to edit a doc directly in github, it will make the pr for you. Just register on github, go to the page you want to edit and click the edit button 👍.
Even if your pr is rejected, you made a pr, well done, you are a modern human again, welcome to the revolution 🤝.

YOU GUYS! MY COWORKER JUST ASKED HOW TO FIND ME ON NOSTR!

IT IS HAPPENING


One common complaint we hear from Nostr haters is that there is no economic incentive to run relays or that the network will be centralized in a few central big relays. These claims often come from confusion or misunderstandings.

I think this 40s video will clear all the matters and answer all the criticisms: https://cdn.satellite.earth/8e48f90f4889d6d8def300e9d843b9b353375426212f6b6253a8ee6aaaefcf07.mp4

If anyone doesn't understand or has a problem with this answer, please, I would like to hear it.

1. HK journalists found guilty in landmark sedition case: Two journalists who led a pro-democracy newspaper in Hong Kong have been found guilty of sedition. Chung Pui-kuen and Patrick Lam, two editors at the now-defunct Stand News media outlet, could now face a maximum jail term of two years. This is the first sedition case against journalists in Hong Kong since the territory's handover from Britain to China in 1997. Stand News was among the last openly pro-democratic publications until its closure in December 2021, when more than 200 police officers were sent to raid the publication's office. (BBC) (AC-"Freedom of the Press" is not common worldwide.)

2. Telegram founder Pavel Durov released from police custody to face questioning after arrest in France: The French magistrate issued six preliminary criminal charges against Durov for allegedly allowing criminal activity on the app, and the tech executive — who posted bail of €5 million to avoid jail — is not permitted to leave France. He will also remain under judicial supervision and be required to check in with police twice weekly. (NYPost/RollingStone)

3. Rescued hostage in Gaza said kept in total darkness during captivity, showered once a month: 52-year-old Bedouin father of 11 Farhan al-Qadi was left alone two weeks ago after captors heard IDF drills; tunnel was rigged with explosives to prevent him escaping. (TImesOfIsrael)

"I just feel sick what he did to the Capitol and to the country today," she said in the back of an SUV in the early hours of 7 January. "He's going to pay a price for that." (BBC)

4. Supreme Court Rejects Biden Administration's Request To Revive Student Loan Debt Relief Plan: The policy, known as the Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) plan, was finalized by the Education Department in July 2023. It came just a month after the Supreme Court ruled that the administration did not have the authority to implement President Joe Biden's earlier student loan forgiveness program. (IBTimes)

-Regulatory and Legal-
1. Did Binance Seize 'All' Palestinian Assets Upon Israeli Army's Request?: When asked by Cointelegraph to confirm or deny the reports, Binance said "there have been some incorrect statements" around the issue. "Only a small number of user accounts, linked to illicit funds, were blocked from transacting," the crypto exchange titan said. A spokesperson said Binance complies with "internationally accepted sanctions legislation, just like any other financial institution." Meanwhile, a Boycot Binance effort has taken off on social media and is announcing at least $2.6B of Bitcoin have been taken off Binance in the last 24 hours, which has not been confirmed. (IBTimes/X)

2. Banks Using Permissionless Blockchains Face Increased Risk of Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing, Says BIS: The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, a part of the Bank for International Settlements, has identified multiple risks that banks face when transacting on permissionless blockchains. These risks include money laundering, terrorism financing, operations and security, governance, legal issues, settlement finality, and compliance. The committee emphasizes the need for new risk management strategies and safeguards to address these risks, as current practices are still in development and untested under stress.

The highlight of the week in Riga for me was the Nostriga event.

As we move forward, there is still a ton of work to be done on Nostr.  In particular, we need great ideas and adversarial thinking when it comes to ensuring relays remain decentralized while still having economical incentives.  Additionally, secure peer to peer and group chat needs to be built and integrated.  If you’re a pig developer this place is your mud.

Massive thanks to nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m, nostr:npub1y67n93njx27lzmg9ua37ce7csvq4awvl6ynfqffzfssvdn7mq9vqlhq62h, and nostr:npub1zu5tdnq7w63fgmsfz85te7e6zeg7y2lt8q8r9jp5zcg68jfy73jqraqtgz for the incredible effort and resourcing putting Nostriga together.

I love seeing new CPRs (Centralized Platform Refugees) come over to Nostr.

I love the initial enthusiasm as the realization hits that this protocol is radically different from everything they are used to.

I love the nonstop note-posting when they first join.

But…

Sadly, many do not last.

They can’t get the same dopamine fix on Nostr that the centralized platforms deliver so effectively…

They are free, and yet they yearn to return to their cage.

But that’s okay. Everyone is free to do what they want, and Nostr will be here (and better than ever) when they eventually return. And they WILL return.

So, cheers to those of you that continue showing up on Nostr every single day, posting your thoughts, sharing your lives, sharing your art, sharing your music, sharing your podcasts, sharing your memes, sharing your feet, hosting meatspace conferences, and engaging in meaningful conversations with this small but powerful network.

You know who you are 🫂

And of course, cheers to the people who make all of this possible: the developers who write the code that allows all of us to have this incredible experience

Nostr is just getting started.


Hung up on twice after automated process 😠


Our mortgage company can't even pay our home insurance bill on time. This is the third time it has happened after changing to a different lender with no notice given beforehand. The existing financial system is broken. Keep building the parallel economy.

---Reports---
-International Events-
1. Russia launches 'nightmare' deadly drone and missile strikes across Ukraine, Kyiv says: The strikes were among the largest such aerial attacks since the war began in 2022, with Russia using at least 127 missiles and 109 drones in an attack that lasted over eight hours, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Critical infrastructure, the energy sector and railroads were targeted in the attack, Zelenskyy said. The strikes followed Ukraine's Independence Day celebrations on Saturday. (ABC)

2. More than 60 killed after terrorist attacks in Pakistan's Balochistan: Separatist terrorist attacks on police stations, railway lines, and highways in Pakistan's restive province of Balochistan, coupled with retaliatory operations by security forces, killed more than 60 people, officials said on Monday. The most widespread assault by ethnic insurgents in years forms part of a decades-long effort to win secession of the resource-rich southwestern province, home to major China-led projects such as a strategic port and a gold and copper mine. (JerusalemPost)

3. Canada Hits China With 100% Tariff On Electric Cars:  Prime Minister Justin Trudeau unveiled the new policy which consists of a 100% levy on electric cars and 25% on steel and aluminum. The EV tariff will take effect Oct. 1 and will also include certain hybrid passenger automobiles, trucks, buses and delivery vans. It will be added to an existing 6.1% tariff that applies to Chinese EVs, the government said in a news release. (ZeroHedge) (AC-Given Trudeau's history with China, this may event may seem surprising, yet the export-driven auto sector in Canada is hurting from the Chinese competition. The industry also backs Trudeau heavily and has been vocal in the competition failures with China. This is also a good lesson of how China will take advantage of a situation if they are given leeway.)

4. Chinese violation of airspace in Kyushu shocks, confuses Japan: Stunned Defense Ministry officials were scrambling to determine whether a Chinese military plane intentionally or mistakenly violated Japanese airspace off the Danjo Islands in Goto, Nagasaki Prefecture. The incident on the morning of Aug. 26 was the first confirmed intrusion into Japanese airspace by a Chinese intelligence-gathering military aircraft. (AsahiShimbun)

-US Events-
1. Judge blocks Biden administration from granting legal status to immigrant spouses of U.S. citizens: The order by District Court Judge J. Campbell Barker effectively brings to a halt a large immigration program that opened just last week to an estimated half a million immigrants living in the U.S. without legal status. Most importantly, the program also unlocks a streamlined pathway to permanent residency and, after several years, U.S. citizenship, for eligible immigrants. Judge Barker made his order valid for 14 days but he suggested he could extend it. (CBS)

2. US Army Private King who fled to North Korea to plead guilty to 5 charges: U.S. Army Private Travis King, who last year ran into North Korea and was taken into custody there, will plead guilty to five charges, including desertion, while taking responsibility for his conduct, his lawyer said in a statement on Monday. (Reuters)

3. Tulsi Gabbard Endorses Trump: Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (I-HI) endorsed former President Donald Trump for president on Monday, noting that during his first term as president, he did not “start any new wars.” On X, Tulsi posted "I was a Democrat for over 20 years. Today, I endorsed Donald Trump for President." (Breitbart)

-Regulatory and Legal-
1. Binance calls for US intervention as Tigran Gambaryan’s detention marks 6 months: Binance CEO Richard Teng is urging U.S. intervention as Tigran Gambaryan, an executive at the exchange, reaches six months in deteriorating conditions of Nigerian detention. (CryptoNews)

-Central Bank Digital Currencies-
1. Bank of Russia Eyes Stablecoins for Cross-Border Transactions: The Bank of Russia is exploring the use of stablecoins in cross-border transactions, considering them as digital financial assets (DFAs) under existing regulations if they have a responsible entity. The initiative may involve a limited group of qualified investors and would require testing for regulatory feasibility. (BitcoinCom)

-Institutional Concerns-
1. UAE Investment Firms Announce $500 Million Digital Energy Infrastructure Fund: United Arab Emirates-based investment firms Hodler Investments and Gewan Holding have announced plans to launch a $500 million Digital Energy Infrastructure (DEI) Fund. This fund aims to invest in energy infrastructure projects that support the growth of the digital economy. The DEI Fund will invest in a variety of projects, including power generation, data mining, blockchain, decentralized physical infrastructure, and AI. It will also support startups and software development related to these areas. (BitcoinCom) (AC-Look for the UAE to become a powerhouse in the digital world.)

2. Xapo Bank teams up with trading firm Hilbert Group to launch $200m Bitcoin fund: n an Aug. 27 press release, the Stockholm-headquartered company said that the  Bitcoin-denominated hedge fund, set to launch in September, is expected to attract over $200 million in initial capital from Xapo Bank and other investors throughout 2024. The idea behind the initiative is to provide corporates, businesses, and professional investors with opportunities to “generate returns in BTC from institutional-grade structured credit arrangements, which are not available to those participants directly in the market,” (CryptoNews)

3. BlackRock and Grayscale own 2.96% of Bitcoin circulating supply amid $202 million net inflow: BlackRock’s IBIT dominates with $224.06 million inflow amid varied performance of other Bitcoin ETFs. (CryptoSlate)

-Economic Indicators-
1. US Durable Goods Order Rise the Most in 4 Years: New orders for manufactured durable goods in the US surged by 9.9% from the previous month in July of 2024, making up for the downwardly revised 6.9% decline in the earlier period, the most since May 2020 and firmly above market expectations of a 5% expansion. (TradingEconomics)

2. Dollar Index Hits 13-Month Low: The dollar index fell toward 100.5 on Monday, hitting its weakest levels since July 2023 as Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell cemented hopes of an interest rate cut in September. (TradingEconomics)

-Security Incidents and Concerns-
1. American Radio Relay League Paid $1 Million to Ransomware Gang: The attack occurred on May 15 and resulted in multiple systems within ARRL’s internal network being encrypted, including desktops, laptops, and Windows and Linux servers. Last week, the association revealed that the attackers had compromised its on-site systems and most cloud-based systems weeks before deploying file-encrypting ransomware, and that information purchased on the dark web was used for the intrusion. ARRL did not say whether any personal information was compromised in the attack. In July, however, it said that the information of 150 employees, including names, addresses, and Social Security numbers, was likely impacted. (SecurityWeek)

Dutch Data Watchdog Slaps Uber With $324 Million Fine Over Personal Data Sending in the US: Ride-hailing giant Uber has been slapped with a substantial fine by the Netherlands' privacy watchdog for violating the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). According to Reuters, the fine stems from Uber's transfer of drivers' personal data from the EU to the US. The GDPR imposes strict regulations on the transfer of personal data outside the EU, particularly to countries with less stringent privacy protections. (TechTimes)

I see post. Zapped ⚡


**The Problem:**\
Millions of people around the globe either lack access to education or are forced to contend with poor-quality education they can’t afford. Traditional education systems often apply a one-size-fits-all model, which fails to meet the diverse needs of students, leaving many disengaged and without the skills they need for the future.

**The Dream Solution:**\
Imagine an education system that is as unique as each student, engaging, accessible, and affordable. This vision leverages the Nostr protocol — a decentralised, simple social graph — and the power of Bitcoin to create a revolutionary platform that could democratise education worldwide.

### Key Components

1. **Custom-Made, Tailored Education:**

- The Nostr client offers personalised curriculums created through an initial rigorous assessment. This includes personality tests and consideration of each student’s hobbies and interests.
- The AI-driven system ensures that the curriculum is not just relevant but also engaging and aligned with the student’s goals, making learning both fun and effective.

**2. Engaging and Fun Learning:**

- Real-world experiences, like apprenticeships and work-integrated learning, are built into the curriculum, ensuring that students are not just learning theory but also applying their knowledge in practical ways.
- The innovative teaching methods aim to keep students motivated and interested, making education a continuous and exciting journey.

**3. Global Accessibility:**

- The Nostr client operates both online and in physical locations, ensuring that students from any part of the world can access quality education.
- The Nostr client will be multiple languages, making it inclusive and globally relevant.

**4. Nostr ID and Accreditation:**

- Each student, teacher, and business/institution will have a Nostr ID , which securely stores all relevant metrics — scores, time spent learning/teaching, and ratings. These metrics are public and transparent, building a credible reputation for all participants.
- This decentralised approach ensures that credentials and achievements are recognised and respected globally, regardless of where a student is based.

**5. Affordable Education with Incentives:**

- The platform is designed to be accessible financially, using a zapping system powered by Bitcoin. Students and teachers can earn rewards and incentives, ensuring that education is both affordable and financially rewarding.
- A value-for-value (V4V) monetisation method allows students and teachers to earn according to their contributions and success.

**6. Real-Time Learning Matchmaking:**

- A Nostr client functions similarly to Uber, where students can see available teachers, their ratings, zaps, specialties, and other metrics before choosing who they want to learn from.
- AI facilitates the connection, ensuring that students can begin learning with their chosen teacher almost immediately.

**7. Feedback Loop and Continuous Improvement:**

- After each session, both the student and the teacher must provide feedback, which is crucial for continuous improvement.

### Role of Businesses and Institutions

**How They Participate:**

- Businesses, employers, and institutions can join the Nostr clients by creating a profile using a Nostr ID. They have access to the same public and private portals as students and teachers, allowing them to interact directly with the educational ecosystem.
- The Nostr client allows businesses and institutions to scout and hire students directly from the system based on their scores, ratings, and other metrics. Employers can view detailed profiles of students, including their completed courses, projects, and feedback from teachers, making it easier to find candidates who match their specific needs.
- Students, in turn, can choose to work with companies that have high ratings and reputations on the platform, ensuring that both parties benefit from a transparent and merit-based system.
- For example, a company could offer scholarships or financial incentives to top-performing students, which not only aids the student financially but also builds the company’s reputation on the platform.
- These organisations can donate or pay funds (in Bitcoin) to receive higher ratings or more visibility on the platform, similar to sponsored content or advertising. This helps them build a reputation within the community and attract top talent.
- Businesses and institutions contribute to a communal pool of funds, which is distributed primarily to teachers and students based on their ratings and scores. This model incentivizes quality education and ensures that everyone involved in the learning process is rewarded appropriately.
- A small percentage of these funds is allocated to cover the Nostr client operational fees, ensuring that the service remains sustainable and continues to provide high-quality education.

**Example: A Student’s Journey**

Consider a student from anywhere in the world logging into the Nostr client . After the AI sorts their curriculum and completes the initial assessments, they can go online at any time to see which teachers are available. The Nostr client shows each teacher’s ratings, zaps, and specialties, allowing the student to make an informed choice.

Once the student selects a teacher, the AI facilitates the connection instantly. If a teacher declines, another one picks up the session. During the lesson, the AI listens in and can add comments or suggestions in real-time if necessary.

At the end of the session, both the student and teacher provide feedback. If the student cannot afford to pay, they still have the option to leave feedback. If they can pay more, they are encouraged to do so, supporting the teacher.

For this student, the Nostr client offers more than just education; it builds a track record and reputation that could lead to job opportunities globally. The scores, ratings, and zaps accumulated could potentially help the student secure employment with a prestigious company in another country, breaking down traditional barriers to opportunity.

### Conclusion

This is not just a fantasy but a visionary idea that leverages the power of Bitcoin as the internet of money and Nostr as a simple social graph protocol. The dream of a decentralised, accessible, and tailored education system is within reach, and it has the potential to transform lives globally. What do you think? Is this a feasible solution, or does it still feel like a dream? What would you add to make this vision a reality?

Simply Bitcoin was banned on YT today, I always knew the day would come and have been mentally preparing myself for years.

I can’t wait for the day that you can livestream to the masses via decentralized protocols rather than centralized platforms.

I’ve put in so many hours into not only making content but also making sure we follow the “community guidelines” on YouTube and we were still banned.

I’m bullish on the future of Nostr and I will continue to advocate for it until it reaches a critical mass where you don’t have to rely on centralized platforms in order to garner sufficient amount of views to run a media company.

---Reports---
-International Events-
1. Venezuelan court upholds Maduro’s disputed victory: Venezuela’s highest court has upheld the re-election of Nicolás Maduro as president following accusations of widespread voter fraud in July's poll. The decision by the Supreme Tribunal of Justice (TSJ) comes as the United Nations warned that the court lacked independence and impartiality. Mr Maduro has led the country since 2013 and his re-election means he can serve another six-year term. (BBC)

2. IAEA's Grossi to visit Kursk nuclear plant after drone attack: The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said on Thursday its Director General Rafael Grossi will assess the situation at Kursk nuclear power plant during his visit next week. IAEA also said it had been informed by the Russian Federation that the remains of a drone had been found within the Kursk nuclear power plant. Acting Kursk Governor Alexei Smirnov told Putin the situation at the Kursk plant was "stable." (Reuters)

-US Events-
1. Arizona can demand some voters prove citizenship, US supreme court rules: The US supreme court ruled Thursday that Arizona can partially enforce a new law that requires people to prove their citizenship in order to vote, but said the state cannot block them from voting for president or by mail as long as they used the federal voter registration form. The court’s emergency decision allows Arizona to require proof of citizenship from registrants who use the state’s voter registration form. But those who register using a federal voter registration form are still eligible to vote for president. The court also left in place a lower court injunction barring those who do not provide proof of citizenship from voting by mail for president. (TheGuardian)

2. FDA approves updated Pfizer, Moderna Covid vaccines as virus surges; shots to be available within days: The jabs target a strain called KP.2, a descendant of the highly contagious omicron subvariant JN.1 that began circulating widely in the U.S. earlier this year. The CDC recommended that everyone over 6 months old receive an updated Covid vaccine this year. Meanwhile, the CDC said about four people are being hospitalized for Covid for every 100,000 people in a given area. (CNBC) (AC-Even if the reader does not give credence to CDC/Big Pharma announcements like this, it is important to know that some do and whom may not know the risk/reward ratio of these vaccines.)

3. Judge Rules RFK Jr. Can Sue Biden Admin Over Censorship After Supreme Court Rejects Challenge From States: A federal judge on Tuesday ruled that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. can continue to pursue his lawsuit against the Biden administration over censorship at the direction of the government. According to District Court Judge Terry Doughty, Kennedy meets the standard set by the Supreme Court because there is "ample evidence" to show he was censored at the direction of government actors, and is at "substantial risk" that the censorship will continue. Kennedy was named by one of the "Disinformation Dozen" - and was specifically targeted by the government over what they alleged was COVID-19 misinformation, and "The Court finds that there is further risk for future risk injury here because Kennedy is a 2024 presidential candidate," wrote Doughty. (ZeroHedge) (AC-An interesting turn of events for RFK as we await his pending announcement today. This ruling could affect his potential drop-out and support of Trump.)

-Regulatory and Legal-
1. DeFi Is Set to Make a Comeback As Interest Rates, Stablecoin Supply Drive Its Resurgence: According to a report by Steno Research, decentralized finance (DeFi) is expected to make a comeback, with the total value locked (TVL) in the crypto ecosystem potentially reaching an all-time high in the first half of next year. The resurgence of DeFi is linked to interest rates, particularly in the U.S., as they influence the appeal of decentralized financial markets. Additionally, factors such as the growth in stablecoin supply and the continued expansion of real-world assets contribute to the revival of DeFi. (Decreypt) (AC-Ugh!)

-Central Bank Digital Currencies-
NSTR

-Institutional Concerns-
1. El Salvador adds 162 Bitcoins to national holdings: A cold wallet reportedly owned by the Salvadoran government has been buying one Bitcoin everyday since March 16, adding 162 coins to the country’s Bitcoin holdings. (CryptoNews)

-Economic Indicators-
1. US 10-Year Treasury Note Yield Steady Ahead Powell Speech: The yield on the US 10-year Treasury note stabilized at 3.85% on Friday, after briefly dipping to a 14-month low of 3.8% earlier in the week. Markets are closely watching to gauge the scale of potential rate cuts by the Federal Reserve this year. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell is set to speak at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium. (TradingEconomics)

2. US Initial Jobless Claims Rise More than Expected: The number of people claiming unemployment benefits in the US rose by 4,000 from the previous week to 232,000 on the period ending August 17th, slightly ahead of market expectations of 230,000 to mark a three-week high. (TradingEconomics)

3. Myanmar households crippled as currency tumbles to record low: The Myanmar kyat has been extremely volatile in recent days, plunging to a low of 7,500 to the dollar in the black-market last week from 5,000 earlier in the month The plunge followed reports that the Myanmar junta was printing more kyat to prop up the currency, two traders said. “People are frantically buying (Thai) baht and selling kyat,” said a money transfer agent in Thailand. (AsashiShimbun) (AC- For those who study currencies and economics, the lessons come from around the world.)

-Security Incidents and Concerns-
1. CrowdStrike Faces Lawsuits From Customers, Investors: CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) is facing lawsuits from investors and customers following the incident that caused massive global outages, but some believe the company is likely shielded from legal action. Roughly 8.5 million Windows devices worldwide entered a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) loop on July 19 after CrowdStrike pushed out a bad update that was not properly tested. (SecurityWeek)

2. Pig Butchering Crypto Scams On The Rise: FBI Recovered $5 Million: Pig Butchering crypto scams have become the new preference of fraudsters where they pretend to be acquaintances, friends, or romantic partners. They make contacts and get close with the victim, running the fraud for weeks or even months, convincing the victim to invest in the scammer’s crypto. Once the victim invests, the scammers show sudden losses to ask for more or simply disappear. (CoinGape)

-Technology and Science-
1. AI drone ‘hellscape’ plan for Taiwan: The US army plans to combat a Chinese invasion of Taiwan by flooding the narrow Taiwan Strait with swarms of thousands and thousands of autonomous drones. “I want to turn the Taiwan Strait into an unmanned hellscape using a number of classified capabilities so that I can make their lives utterly miserable for a month, which buys me the time for the rest of everything,” US Indo-Pacific Command chief Navy Admiral Samuel Paparo told the Washington Post. (CoinTelegraph)

-Bitcoin Community-
1. Bybit emerges as dominant exchange with $2.5 billion BTC spot volume: Bybit's recent surge to a $2.5 billion spot volume on Aug. 22 has stunned the crypto community, consistently outperforming even the behemoth Binance in daily volumes. (CryptoSlate)

2. Bitcoin Fees Surge Above $100 as Native Staking Protocol Launches: Babylon Labs' launch of native staking capabilities for Bitcoin caused a surge in transaction fees early Thursday, with the median cost per transaction peaking at $132. Users rushed to stake their Bitcoin, leading to a fee bidding war and increased costs. Despite the inconvenience for standard Bitcoin users, this fee spike may benefit miners struggling in the current climate. (Decrypt)

⚡⚡500 SATS for REPOSTS

Bitcoin and Nostr embody TRUTH in its purest form.

Revisit the pivotal moments in human history that have led to our current state. The invention of language and the printing press enabled the widespread dissemination of information, unlocking massive human flourishing. The advent of the internet took this to the next level, freeing information from geographical constraints and facilitating global connectivity.

However, our current system is inherently flawed. It relies on humans trusting one another, often from a distance, without any guarantees of authenticity. Humans are notorious for their self-interest and propensity to deceive others when it serves them. This fundamental weakness has led to the proliferation of misinformation, manipulation, and control.

The game-changer lies in the emergence of uncorruptable value transfer protocols, such as Bitcoin. These systems allow us to transcend the need for human trust, instead relying on cryptographic proof and decentralized verification. For the first time, we can follow the value to determine TRUTH, unencumbered by intermediaries, biases, or agendas.

Nostr, as a social protocol, takes this concept further. By incentivizing the creation and dissemination of high-value information, it fosters an ecosystem where truth is rewarded and falsehoods are penalized. This paradigm shift has far-reaching implications, as it enables individuals to make informed decisions, free from the influence of manipulated narratives.

Imagine a world where information is no longer controlled by centralized authorities, and individuals are empowered to seek truth without interference.

This looks magical.


Can you send 1 to our Bitcoin Research Club in North Dakota, US? 🧡🪓


Around 57:40 timestamp. I believe it is the same person that is referenced in Alex Gladstein's book Check Your Financial Privilege.


God Bless Bitcoin is very well done. The references to scripture, explanation of CBDCs, Afghanistan using freedom technology for women to create businesses, Preston Pysh's personal experience as a warfighter pilot, monetary property rights, how bitcoin is ethical true money that doesn't steal your purchasing power and scarce time, importance of self-custody, etc. Highly recommended checking this movie out if you so choose. Thanks to everyone who volunteered their time from the community to make this a reality. 🙏🏻🫂🧡

This is so cool. Can zap on Fountain after connecting Nostr account too! ⚡

Fountain 1.1 with #nostr is now live on iOS and Android!

Why Nostr?

We regularly hear from both listeners and podcasters that the social features in Fountain are a great way to discover content that's worth listening to.

When you support a podcast, or comment on an episode, your message is surfaced to your followers in the Fountain home feed and anyone that sees these can add the content to their library.

But this came with a few problems. When you first start using Fountain you wouldn't have any followers so your posts wouldn't get seen. If you wanted to share something you were listening to, you had to choose between leaving a comment on Fountain, or sharing on another social platform.

Today we are excited to announce a massive update to Fountain that solves these problems with Nostr:

- You can bring your existing profile and followers to Fountain
- Your boosts and comments will be surfaced in other Nostr clients
- Posts shared from other Nostr clients relating to audio will appear in your feed
- Conversation and interactions now flow freely across multiple apps

Read more about the new Fountain nostr features here: https://blog.fountain.fm/p/1-1


A small number of people interacting, learning from each other, and moving their energy to something better always proceeds a large number of people doing the same.
It’s something you’ll look back upon one day with genuine fondness for those times and people who made this time so special….so remember to celebrate it today.

People who yell “echo chamber” usually are just deriding the idea of community. The people I’ve met and interacted with because of bitcoin and nostr are probably the most diverse people I’ve even known, spanning across multiple demographics of every sort, and are some of the most intelligent critical thinkers I’ve ever encountered. Yet we find community around certain topics and values. That is not an echo chamber. It is a community.


Watching School of Rock with my son. 🎸⚡


yet


Every day, your government is working hard to convince you that ongoing theft of your hard-earned purchasing power is not only normal, but is actually good for you and for the economy.

This is a lie, but very few understand it.


Think I'm at 4 then. No gambling since bitcoin tho.

---Reports---
-International Events-
1. Israeli military says it recovered the bodies of 6 hostages from Gaza: The Israel Defense Forces said in a statement that troops recovered the bodies in an overnight operation in the city of Khan Younis in southern Gaza. The operation came as the United States, Egypt and Qatar pushed for a cease-fire deal that would end Israel’s monthslong offensive in Gaza and see the release of the hostages who remain held in the enclave. More than 100 hostages remain held in Gaza, with around a third of them believed to be dead, according to Israeli officials. (NBC)

2. Russia Hunts Down Deserters to Backfill Its Massive War Losses: Russia’s vast professional army has been hollowed out after 2½ years sending waves of men to break down Ukraine’s defenses with a warfare attrition strategy. Russia is now recruiting at least 25,000 men a month, though few have combat experience. The war has been deadly for both sides. At least half a million Russians have been killed or wounded in the conflict, according to a senior Western intelligence official. Kyiv has also struggled to raise enough troops to hold back the Russians, despite lowering the mobilization age and raising pay. (WSJ)

3. North Korean soldier defects to the South: A North Korean soldier defected to South Korea early on Tuesday crossing the militarized border in the eastern part of the Korean peninsula. The soldier crossed into Goseong county on the east coast which borders North Korea and was taken into custody by South Korean guards who had been monitoring his movements. (Reuters)

-US Events-
1. Biden hails Harris as DNC's future in emotional farewell speech: Biden's address in Chicago kicked off a four-day event fueled by enthusiasm for Harris and relief that Biden abandoned his own reelection bid and endorsed her to replace him. The president's reluctant decision to step aside on July 21 came after heavy pressure from party leaders who worried the 81-year-old incumbent was too old to win or serve four more years. (Reuters)

2. Georgia Election Board votes to add requirements before certification: The Georgia State Election Board passed a rule Monday giving local election officials additional power to investigate ballot counts before certifying the results, a move critics say could inject chaos into the 2024 election and delay the state’s official vote count.  The “Rule for Reconciliation Prior to Certification” will allow for a hand recount of votes to ensure “the total number of ballots cast” does not exceed “the total number of persons who voted,” according to the language of the rule. County election officials will now be allowed to investigate any possible discrepancies. (CNN)

3. Two dead, state of emergency declared in Connecticut after historic rainfall: Governor Ned Lamont said that hundreds of people were evacuated with the worst of the flooding happening around Oxford and Southbury. Two women, 65-year-old Ethelyn Joiner and 71 Audrey Rostkowski, both of Oxford, were found dead on Monday after rushing flood waters carried them away from first responders. (WWLP)

-Regulatory and Legal-
1. Kamala Harris’s Alleged ‘Crypto Reset’ Absent in Democratic Agenda: While the Republican platform addresses the issue of cryptocurrency and bitcoin, the Democratic Party’s latest platform remained silent on the matter. Adding to the buzz, there are whispers that Kamala Harris’s campaign might be eyeing Gary Gensler, the current head of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, for the role of Treasury Secretary. (BitcoinCom)

2. China Classifies Crypto Transactions as Money Laundering in Update to AML Law: On Monday, Chinese authorities explicitly recognized “virtual asset” transactions as a method of money laundering, marking the first instance in the country that such a move has been made towards the asset class. The new legal interpretation classifies virtual asset transactions, including those conducted through crypto exchanges, as acts that "cover up and conceal the source and nature of the proceeds of crime.”  (Decrypt)

-Central Bank Digital Currencies-
NSTR

-Institutional Concerns-
1. US Bitcoin ETFs on the Verge of Controlling 1 Million BTC: According to the latest data collected on Aug. 16, 2024, the 12 spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) collectively hold around 910,153.83 BTC, which translates to over $53 billion at the current exchange rates. Leading the pack is Blackrock’s IBIT, holding the largest portion with 38.34% of the total BTC. (BitcoinCom)

2. US spot bitcoin ETFs see lowest daily trading volume since early February: U.S. spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds saw $61.98 million daily net inflows amidst a $779.87 million daily total trade volume on Monday, the lowest amount since Feb. 6 and the third lowest daily trade volume overall. (TheBlock)

-Economic Indicators-
1. US Futures Signal Pause After 8-Day S&P 500, Nasdaq Rally: US futures changed little in cautious trading on Tuesday as expectations for a September interest rate cut grew stronger ahead of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's upcoming speech at Jackson Hole. On Monday, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq extended their winning streak to eight sessions, the longest this year. (TradingEconomics)

-Security Incidents and Concerns-
1. Could Bitcoin Become a Bigger Privacy Threat Than CBDCs?: Privacy advocates in the crypto space are concerned about the lack of privacy on the Bitcoin network and believe that it poses a threat to financial privacy. They argue that the open and transparent nature of the Bitcoin blockchain allows governments to monitor citizens' spending and other activities. While some worry that Bitcoin could be used as a CBDC with broad oversight, others believe that Bitcoin's decentralized nature makes it difficult for governments to control. (Decrypt)

2. Crypto Hack Ends In $238M Bitcoin Heist, Lazarus Group Linked?: A massive crypto hack on August 19 has shaken the community, resulting in the theft of $238 million in Bitcoin. According to ZachXBT’s research, the victim lost 4,064 Bitcoin, worth approximately $238 million, in a suspicious transfer on Monday. The transaction hash associated with the theft, 4b277…, revealed that the stolen funds were quickly transferred across various platforms. These include ThorChain, eXch, KuCoin, ChangeNow, crypto mixer Railgun, and Avalanche Bridge. (CoinGape)

-Technology and Science-
1. SpaceX is about to send four people on a wild — and risky — mission into the radiation belts: Private citizens Isaacman, Menon, Gillis and Poteet will spend five days aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule that will soar to altitudes higher than any human has traveled since NASA’s Apollo program ended in the 1970s. Their orbital path will extend high enough to plunge the vehicle and crew into a radiation belt, adding another element of peril to the already treacherous experience of spaceflight. This crew of private citizens will also open the hatch of their spacecraft and expose themselves to the vacuum of space, marking the first time such a feat has been attempted by non-government astronauts. (CNN)

2. What does Bitcoin smell like? AI startup wants to ‘teleport’ digital scents: Artificial intelligence firm Osmo is working diligently to bring back the future we were promised in 1960 when Hans Laube introduced the world to “Smell-O-Vision.” Only this time, the goal is to improve the lives of humans everywhere by teaching computers how to interpret scent. The company hopes to build a system capable of superhuman feats of smell. These would include the ability to smell the presence of certain diseases, such as cancer, or symptoms associated with diabetes, such as low blood sugar.(CoinTelegraph)

-Bitcoin Sentiment-
1. Fear(0)/Greed(100) Index: 30/100 (Up 2 pts)

Analyst Comments (AC): Despite recent efforts to get Democratic support for digital assets, the deafening silence by the DNC and Harris is message enough. After release of the DNC policy platform yesterday, the lack of support for bitcoin and crypto ensures a hostile stance would be taken upon inauguration by the Harris camp, complete with rewarding SEC chair Gary Gensler as Treasury Secretary. This possible scenario has consequences for bitcoin holders, self-custody, centralization, and mining operations into the near future.

NEW DAILY Bitcoin Veterans SITREP

https://fountain.fm/episode/QLOBOQXUfn1nCiZ8sC5x


Less than 0.037% of humans will own 1 bitcoin.

Realistically, it's probably more like 0.01337% will be whole coiners.

0.037% is assuming that there will some day be 3 million whole coiners. / 8.1 billion people.

With ETF's, governments, corporations, lost keys, etc.... it will likely be much less than 3 million individuals.

21 million / 8.1 billion = 0.26%
there will never be 21 million whole coiners.

Guy Swann has provided an audio version of my long-form article about Nostr.

It reminded me that he was another example of someone I paid for non-tipping things using Nostr as the payment discovery mechanism. Guy performed the audio editing for the individual files of my "Broken Money" youtube video. And I paid him for it not by having to ask for his invoice or anything, but rather just by looking him up on Nostr and paying him.

Venmo-like payment discovery in an open-source and globally-interoperable way is a big deal in the long run.

(KyivPost)

2. Thaksin’s daughter Paetongtarn Shinawatra is elected Thailand’s prime minister: Thailand’s Parliament elected Paetongtarn Shinawatra as prime minister Friday, continuing the legacy of the political dynasty that began with her father Thaksin Shinawatra, one of Thailand’s most popular but divisive political figures.

3. Man Jailed for 18 Months After Chanting ‘Who the F*** Is Allah’ During England Riot: David Spring, of Longfellow Road in Sutton, has been sentenced to 18 months in prison for comments he made during a Downing Street anti-mass migration protest that descended into a riot in the wake of the Southport mass stabbing that left three young girls dead. (Breitbart)

-US Events-
1. Wanted Peru gang leader arrested in US: Torres-Navarro, 38, was detained in New York state after entering the country illegally at the Texas-Mexico border, a statement from the ICE agency said. He is believed to be the leader of the Los Killers gang and is on Peru's wanted list. In a statement sent to the BBC, ICE said Torres-Navarro was first arrested on 16 May upon entering the US illegally, and was served a notice to appear for immigration proceedings (AC-AND RELEASED!). About two months later, authorities were notified that he was in fact wanted in Peru, which led to his eventual arrest in the town of Endicott during a "targeted enforcement action" on Wednesday, ICE added. (BBC) (AC-Sometimes foreign media reports what US media outlets will not. In this case, the Peruvian gang leader was stopped and then released in the US. He was arrested in New York 2 months later once ICE found out he was on Peru's wanted list for killing police and at least 23 others.)

2. Hurricane Ernesto ramps up to Category 2 as it churns towards Bermuda, poses dangers for coastal US: he storm could intensify even further to become the season’s second major hurricane — Category 3 or stronger — as it crosses 600 miles of the Atlantic before reaching Bermuda early Saturday.

-Regulatory and Legal-
1. Dubai court recognizes crypto as a valid salary payment: Heaver said that the case involved an employee who filed a lawsuit claiming that the employer had not paid their wages, wrongful termination compensation and other benefits.

2. Nixon ended gold standard 53 years ago today — WTF happened in 1971?: Aug. 15, 2024, marks the 53rd anniversary of the “Nixon Shock,” the day that United States President Richard Nixon eliminated the gold standard for the US dollar. At the time, Nixon claimed that taking the dollar off the gold standard was “temporary” and would “stabilize” the dollar. Noting that Nixon promised his action would “stabilize the dollar,” which has lost 98.5% of its gold value since that day, Neil Jacobs stated, “This is why we ₿itcoin.” (CoinTelegraph)

3. Iran Escalates Crackdown on Illegal Crypto Mining Amid Severe Power Crisis: Iran is aggressively cracking down on illegal cryptocurrency mining as the nation faces a severe power crisis exacerbated by an intense heatwave. Iranian authorities claim that unauthorized crypto mining has significantly strained Iran’s power grid, leading to widespread industrial disruptions. A bounty program has been launched to encourage citizens to report illegal mining operations. (BitcoinCom)

4. IMF proposes 85% power tax hike on crypto and AI data centers: The IMF argues that these sectors consume 2% of the world’s electricity and contribute nearly 1% of global emissions. The financial regulator claimed that one Bitcoin transaction uses the same electricity that an average person in Ghana or Pakistan would use in three years. Additionally, it argues a ChatGPT query consumes ten times more electricity than a Google search due to the energy-intensive nature of AI data centers. (CryptoSlate)

-Central Bank Digital Currencies-
1. Central bank digital currency, financial inclusion in India: As India continues to evolve its financial landscape, Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) emerges as a potential tool to drive financial inclusion, particularly in a country where a significant portion of the population remains financially illiterate and vulnerable to fraud.

2. Pierre Poilievre Backs Bill to Ban Central Bank Digital Currency in Canada: Pierre Poilievre, leader of Canada’s Conservative Party, backs a bill that seeks to ban central bank digital currency (CBDC) in Canada. He argues that a CBDC would give the government excessive control over finances, threatening privacy and economic freedom. “It’s time to put an end to creating a central bank digital currency in Canada,” he said. (BitcoinCom)

-Institutional Concerns-
1. Bitcoin Spot ETFs net $11M inflow, despite GBTC loss: On Aug. 15, Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded a net inflow of $11.11 million, indicating continued investor interest despite outflows from Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC). (CointTelegraph)

-Bitcoin Sentiment-
1. Fear(0)/Greed(100) Index: 27/100 (Down 2 pts)

Analyst Comments (AC): Economic data continues to improve leading up the November election. One of the key tenets of MMT economics in practice is the controlling of economic activity, yet the timing of such controls is subject to unknown factors discussed behind closed doors. Though the Federal Reserve is not an official government agency, it's decisions have a large effect on political theater. In the case of this election season, we are heading into an election where recession worries are tamped down, inflation is officially lower in years, and a Fed rate drop is very possible in September. The thinking individual would assess this information as an engineered series of events.

IMO, the biggest mistake of all #Bitcoin/#Lightning wallet and app developers right now is not integrating the most naive version of a #Nostr based contact list.

Literally we have everything we need to easily select and send bitcoin to people, projects, clients, etc and establish very simple web of trust security. AND to have a #Nostr identity created within a wallet by default for those that don't have one, even in the absence of caring about social posts or notes or whatever.

As I learned very recently, npubs are literally taproot addresses, so legit every bitcoin wallet could generate a nostr ID for those that don't have one and if you punched in your nsec into the app, anyone could receive coins straight to their npub by the app merely auto-removing "npub..." and replacing it with "bc..."

This is SUPER low hanging fruit that completely shifts the user experience of bitcoin and I think extremely few people have realized just how big of an improvement this would be.

My advice: Stop thinking about #Nostr purely as a twitter replacement, think about it as a #Bitcoin account, username, & reputation system, it actually works and scales BETTER for that use than for general purpose social media.

Sorry to hear that. Hope you find a new opportunity soon. 🙏🏻


I recently changed my default zap from 21 sats to 73 sats.

'73' has a meaning in ham radio that is rooted in tradition and history.

It's not just a number — it's a time-honored way of saying 'Best Regards.' Originating from early telegraphy, this shorthand has been used by radio operators for over a century to sign off with warmth and goodwill.

So, next time you hear '73,' or get zapped 73 sats remember, it's more than a farewell — it's a friendly wish for the best.

If you haven’t been zapped 73 sats by me yet, post some radio comment.  It will help me find it if you use some radio related hashtags.  You might even get zapped for bringing radio content to my attention by replying to it with nostr:npub1ya20ep3dd0qt0suhzprxztv5y43arqwps73ercvqa44sp7qw0edsp4x9ty .

#BitAxe is the way we fight back against #Bitcoin mining centralization and the proxy pools.

When it comes to #Bitcoin, keeping your private key secret is critical.

The Dark Skippy attack demonstrates how the nonce, which is required for signatures, could potentially reveal the master secret.
