The future is not so bright for our kids.


This boy SAVED the INTERNET… but couldn't save himself.

10 years ago, he was persecuted by his government, and ultimately paid with his life.

Aaron Swartz is a modern hero that most people DO NOT KNOW.

But they should.

https://image.nostr.build/a5163a2d322330e5853e14ddf87d1613eecbdff0e23451d9f3059d3c1e0cd723.jpg

Aaron was creative, focused, and brilliant.

At 14, he invented RSS; He dropped out of Stanford; At 19, he was in the first Y Combinator class; He co-founded Reddit.

Most likely, if he were alive today, he would be involved with #Bitcoin.

But that’s not EVEN 1% of what he did for us 🙏

Let’s take a look 👇

https://image.nostr.build/37c7dd4a0ddbad0ae5a98babc66adc4916cc4a03b13d63d0fced0e6c3e0541fd.jpg

From a young age, Aaron believed in an OPEN INTERNET. In computers as a tool for LIBERATION.

"But wait, wasn’t the internet always open?"

No.

Believe it or not, there was a time when they wanted you to REGISTER your ID before you could browse or send an email.

https://image.nostr.build/77deabc6b94e160f43a3dd1522c5dac30061ac5423e6b2e3df10162a25e8e612.png

https://image.nostr.build/960a2e8b7b518cd7f34af6d791518cdabf7b7cdc22366decc16c667cad1f727f.jpg

https://image.nostr.build/5d22d57a1ed58ce2f301d45dd09500d066c8c422039ce4c9c30eec586178fddd.jpg

He believed that PUBLIC LEGAL RECORDS and SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH should be accessible to everyone.

But in the U.S.,

• 98% of scientific articles are behind paywalls; and
• ~80% of legal records are too.

Imagine being sued and still having to pay to view the documents?

https://video.nostr.build/2af872c7a7d1b74ce0fb8d42369a87df45a7ee2d23df006d287b58ac60fcfe26.mp4

Aaron's war had 3 major battles.

The first was against PACER.

A legal records database.

PACER is PAID... but it was "free" in 17 public libraries.

With friends, Aaron wrote a script on a USB drive, plugged it into a USB port, downloaded 2.7 million documents... and SET THEM FREE.

https://video.nostr.build/21b565dd1742bc950748be2ac0e0ce2868f4b94c54d1da9321a198c49fe85d1e.mp4

No charges were made against the group.

But the FBI began to take notice.

That had only been the beginning. That boy would still challenge the system.

The following year, Aaron would enter the biggest fight of his life — and the greatest battle in internet history against censorship ✊

https://image.nostr.build/ab43c6a3d189953bfee2fdc26760e819bc9e637dce97d0c8362a36192487b0aa.png

"SOPA/PIPA" 👉 if you're over 20, you probably still remember these acronyms.

A bill to "combat piracy"... which was just an excuse for the government to shut down ANY SITE, without warning.

Some companies loved the idea.

But those who loved the internet fought back.

https://image.nostr.build/605d066f5a7cc73cf8efe620725ac19f3fa9e85b760acd9e66b6f637b6837681.jpg

And then, something wonderful happened.

We still knew how to fight against online censorship.

In a coordinated response, the biggest websites on the internet "went on STRIKE."

Wikipedia and Reddit went offline. Google turned black.

Protests also erupted in the STREETS.

But...

https://image.nostr.build/605d066f5a7cc73cf8efe620725ac19f3fa9e85b760acd9e66b6f637b6837681.jpg

https://image.nostr.build/7a23543a1a8be95067289d830c766a4af93a321402ba1e2f53b268d660cba2fa.jpg

... but people have short memories.

This battle was won.

However, the NEXT one would be the LAST for young Aaron.

This MIT security camera was the final straw that ruined his life 👇📹

https://image.nostr.build/e48beb62bce1cdc7554d8e602786a29969a687202f7c7e6971f9f203de3160e6.png

JSTOR was Swartz's final target: the largest database of academic papers in the world.

Aaron wrote a script to download MILLIONS of papers, over the course of months, using his MIT access, in a small room.

MIT has a rebellious culture.

But the FBI could no longer tolerate the boy's defiance.

https://image.nostr.build/0f98f712709cacd788a841186630069f9b8877bbea34374f83c529e0b29d1385.jpg

With the video evidence, the U.S. prosecution charged Aaron with 13 crimes. Up to 50 years in prison.

In January 2011, he was arrested by undercover agents near the Harvard campus.

From then on, he was legally tortured.

Two years later, he would be found dead at home.

https://image.nostr.build/0e6b2b6d4ac93cc031267d6a3ae4fdd1afbaf7154c3d1b28db144e703325eff3.png

"Aaron would be 38 years old today.

He was accused of 'pirating' scientific papers funded with public money.

Facing up to 50 years in prison, he took his own life.

Those he inspired continue to democratize access to science.

Let us remember him."

*These are the words of Susan, his mother.

https://image.nostr.build/cb82dfbd1b0675e53a6a24ba2b6c6c50be08b60dc315f9a3cfbf3de4ded0a191.jpg

After his death, the charges were dropped by the government.

Aaron never considered entering a 'plea deal'. He would have faced millions of dollars in legal costs.

The father of the internet, Tim Berners-Lee, published a short poem at the time that says it all:

“The world was a little worse for his passing,
But a lot better for his being.”

https://image.nostr.build/110bd2ce6b535252ecff250b6609cc6f301b906f6681c2459d375c09af2a9548.png

Aaron wasn’t a unanimous figure. You may disagree with his methods.

But he was faithful to his ideal.

He was genuine. Firm in what he believed.

He was a person who used his prodigious skills not to enrich himself, but to make the internet fairer, and the world a better place.

https://image.nostr.build/570b43a6887dfa430be76e33a416c7bbc65d05e9acf0404ae46ad1a522bf9abc.jpg

Aaron had worked with Virgil Griffith (former Ethereum, now imprisoned for "teaching about crypto" to North Koreans).

He knew Elizabeth Stark (from Lightning).

He was friends with Zooko.

And he wrote about #Bitcoin — on the DAY he was arrested (1/6/11)! 😢

Curious? To learn more about the story, start with this documentary (on YouTube) 👇

[https://youtu.be/9vz06QO3UkQ](https://youtu.be/9vz06QO3UkQ)

We’ll finish with an excerpt from the "Manifesto for Free Access," by Aaron himself:

"Information is power. But, like all power, there are those who want to keep it for themselves. There is no justice in following unjust laws. It’s time to come to the light, and, in the tradition of civil disobedience, declare our opposition to the private theft of public culture.

We must take information, wherever it is, make our copies, and share them with the world."

RIP, Aaron ✊

Same here. lel


On Facebook, I see edit scams all the time. Someone makes a post about a missing dog or something, tons of people share it around, and later it gets edited to something trying to sell $10 sunglasses. As ridiculous a technique it may be, it hinges on people's emotions to work. Whether they sell any sunglasses or not is beside the point. Over time, the people sharing those posts become reluctant of what may be legitimate information & the actual missing dog gets no coverage.

Aside from complexity & centralization risk, there's a lot of moral reasons to avoid it, especially when delete is getting adopted. From a user standpoint, if missing context or a typo is that big of a deal: delete it, repeat it. It's not hard. #forevertypo

How this topic exploded to nostr?


Running a nostr node for ling time is hard. Many will give it up and remove the setup after a while.


I have a cd distro of Ubuntu 6.06 LTS. It was used without internet. Hard times...


I bet that the solar panel is for running a node 😂😂😂


It the part of the package👌😁


Just used Pinterest after a good while. To be precize, it was not used since the AI revolution. Now, every second image is a shitty ai generated nonsense with the only goal to catch your attention.
Less original and real content is driving down the usefullness.
It' really sad. We lot a great source of inspirations. #pinterest #ai #future


BTCPAY 2.0 IS OUT!!! 🚀

https://blog.btcpayserver.org/btcpay-server-2-0/

https://m.primal.net/LnDW.png

BTCPay Server 2.0 realigns the internal architecture with the lessons we’ve learned since 2017, positioning us to better support both plugin developers and ourselves as we implement new features.

🌎New interface localization
🧭New sidebar-only navigation
📲New onboarding flow for new users and Point Of Sale
🏬Three new e-commerce integrations @Wix, @Odoo & @BigCommerce
🙌Checkout v2 default
🎨Branding enhancements

https://m.primal.net/LnEE.png

While it may not seem immediately obvious, we expect users to see the full potential of 2.0 in the upcoming months, as the ecosystem continues to thrive and build on top of it. With BTCPay Server 2.0, we’re introducing breaking changes in our API that allow us to eliminate the technical debt that has accumulated over the years.

Updating to BTCPay Server 2.0 is a one-way process with no option for rolling back. Because of that, we're making it opt-in, requiring that you SSH into your server and run:

git fetch
git checkout 2.0
btcpay-update.sh

Seamless integration into existing systems remains one of our top priorities, and we’re excited to introduce three new e-commerce integrations that expand the possibilities for merchants:

- Wix
- Odoo
- BigCommerce

If you use plugins with your BTCPay Server, you might notice that some are disabled after updates - we do that to prevent server crashes.

If you use plugins with your BTCPay Server, you may notice that some are disabled following updates - we do this to prevent server crashes. If you rely heavily on plugins for your BTCPay operations, we recommend that you double-check compatibility and look for announcements from plugin developers regarding their support for version 2.0 before proceeding with the upgrade.

 nostr:npub1psm37hke2pmxzdzraqe3cjmqs28dv77da74pdx8mtn5a0vegtlas9q8970 has updated their plugin, so take a look at it how they did it as an example.

https://m.primal.net/LnEG.png

In the end 💚 Thanks to all that contributed

With 2.0 we wanted to do all the hard work, most of which may be invisible, but it sets a great base on what we’re aiming to do in 2025. Keep an eye on the upcoming minor releases that we’ll ship if we notice any bugs. In the next few big releases we’re hoping to ship some of the most requested features that further enhance our mission.

Super-special shout out goes to our community testers, who went beyond and above testing the 2.0: @cypherpunkstore  nostr:npub1qqqqqq9tkeunk6ma4zdlgt4euev7p5c64jdmp7354x0zdrns3ars20hrhr  nostr:npub1k5f85zx0xdskyayqpfpc0zq6n7vwqjuuxugkayk72fgynp34cs3qfcvqg2 @JoinStrainly.

We hope you enjoy what this update has to offer.

Contributing to FOSS as a Product Person without Permission

### a practical intro to contributing to FOSS for product people, and other non-devs

So you want to contribute to FOSS, but don’t know where to start. There are many paths to FOSS, but you must find your own. Here’s some advice based on personal experience to help you get started.

### 0. Find your motivation

FOSS requires a lot of giving, and better aligns with those that are missionaries, as opposed to the mercenaries. Perhaps you are unfulfilled in your fiat job, maybe you are currently unemployed, or perhaps you are excited about a particular bitcoin project. Why you’re exploring contributing to FOSS, is a question that only you can answer.

![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/17538dc2a62769d09443f18c37cbe358fab5bbf981173542aa7c5ff171ed77c4/files/1727887860405-YAKIHONNES3.webp)
Are you a missionary?

### 1. Discover what excites you

So you’ve found motivation and have a list of various FOSS projects you could contribute to. This is the equivalent of the “I need a job” stage and you’re figuring out where to apply. It’s time to narrow it down.

What are you excited about? A multi-year pilgrimage of learning how to contribute to Bitcoin Core? A lightning wallet, perhaps? Free speech Nostr? A hardware signing device? Or maybe finding a FOSS projects that is not “Bitcoin” in name, but happens to support Bitcoin, and Lightning.

A great first step is to take some time and explore the Bitcoin Design Community (https://bitcoin.design/) to discover FOSS projects.

![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/17538dc2a62769d09443f18c37cbe358fab5bbf981173542aa7c5ff171ed77c4/files/1727887833560-YAKIHONNES3.webp)
Are you excited anon?

### 2. Identify the skills you have or want to develop

Chances are that if you follow the Bitcoin Product Community, you’re skills are in Product Management, Product Marketing, and/or Project Management. But contributing to a bitcoin project requires contributors with skills of many backgrounds such as marketing, documentation, community building, and more.

What’s important to know is that most FOSS teams start with a motivated developer, who then may attract other devs. But many of them may not advertise that they need non-developer help such as a PM.

Therein lies the opportunity for you as an eager bitcoin contributor. See what the needs of a project are and see if you can fill in those gaps with your skills. It may be as simple as coordinating meetings for the team. But doing the “dirty work”, or the work no one else wants to do, is exactly the way you can make an immediate impact to a FOSS project. In fact, this is why members of the Bitcoin Product Community affectionately refer to product managers as “[janitors](https://medium.com/all-things-product-management/product-manager-you-are-664d83ee702e)”!

### 3. Make a list of projects

Now that you have narrowed down your FOSS search, it is time to start building a list of, and evaluating various FOSS products. Some questions you can ask yourself:

Is the project active? Is it a new project? How many team members are there? How many are devs? Is there already a PM? Is there a need for multiple PMs? Is there designer participation? What is the pace of development? Is there enough development activity for this to satisfy your want to contribute? Is there opportunity for a PM?

Github is the defacto standard for FOSS products. Check the activity. Read up on issues. See who is contributing PRs, and creating issues. Check if there is a Github Project instance.

It’s OK, and best for you to check out out multiple FOSS projects concurrently to see which team is the best fit for both parties.

### 4. Use the thing(s)!

Another thing you can do to help you choose a project is to use the thing! Download the OS. Run the software. Use it.

As you’re interacting with the product, some things you can ask yourself are:

What do you love about the product? What can be improved? Are there bugs?

Jot down your notes. Take screenshots. Do screen recordings. Document your experience. Create a video onboarding walkthrough, or a feature tutorial. What you are actually doing is documentation and this will be useful for the project, even if you don’t decide to actively contribute.

As you use the thing, take note of how you’re reacting to it. Are you getting more or less excited? Are you more or less confident in contributing to the project?

### 5. Find out where the team works

Another factor to consider is to figure out where the team works.

By now you have already explored their github to collect your FOSS intelligence. Now check nostr, twitter, telegram, or whatever other comms tools the team might be using. Some teams may have calls, and call recordings. Consider listening in to a recording, and/or joining a call to check the team dynamics.

As you do, assess whether you might be a good culture fit. Also see where there might be some gaps in their workflow that you can help improve.

### 6. Start small

Once you found a project that interests and excites you enough. It’s time to roll up your sleeves and get involved by starting small.

One easy place to start is to go through the github issues list. Some examples of issues in dev heavy teams are e extremely technical bug reports. For FOSS products with an active user base, there might be “customer” centric feature requests.

Start by logging the bug(s) you found. Examine issues, and fill in the blanks if there are unclearly defined reports & requests.

You don’t have to ask for permission to contribute. That said, evaluate team dynamics and who owns what role so you are not stepping on anyone’s toes. You are there to help.

Also take note of how your help is received. It may take time for you to build up your credibility. Don’t throw in the towel on the first week. Keep finding ways to add value.

### 7. Show up consistently

Keep contributing in small things day in and day out. As you do so, communicate with the team to ramp up your learning, and also start building rapport, and your reputation. You may not have time or opportunity to contribute full-time. With the state of asynchronous communication tools in 2023, you can flexibly contribute when you have time. An exception to the asynchronous communication may be team meetings.

As you continue to show up consistently, you will build up your FOSS proof-of-work, and reputation. This will show FOSS devs, and contributors that you bring value.

### 8. Find and meet the “customer”

Find, and interact with the project’s users a.k.a “customers”. What do they care about? What are their pain points? What needs are customers using the product for? Become the “voice of the customer” to the dev heavy team.

Is there a conference where your team is presenting, and customers present? These are invaluable opportunities to observe the customer’s behavior, and also to help answer questions, and troubleshoot on the spot.

### 9. Increase your involvement

After some time starting small and working on bugs, you may eventually find yourself submitting feature requests. Maybe there is an opportunity to create user flows, or mockups. As you consistently contribute, continue seeking more responsibility.

Maybe you offer to facilitate and lead the next team call. Maybe you try creating a roadmap and backlog from scratch. Maybe you host a product & design thinking session. Maybe you will level up and learn how to check out a dev’s PR in a yet-to-released branch.

No matter what you do, be sure to always bring value to the project.

Testing an unreleased Damus branch checked out on XCode

### 10. Prune, Commit, Repeat

Congratulations! By now you’ve been doing a “trial run” with several projects. It’s time to focus and choose one(s) that you can commit to.

As you contribute to the project on an ongoing basis, continuously reevaluate if there is opportunity for you to increase your contributions. If you feel that you’ve maxed that out, it may be time to look for a different FOSS product to contribute to. Perhaps a complementary product to your initial one.

As you embark on this journey, it can be exhilarating at times and in other times thankless. To find a community of peers, and perhaps a mentor check in with the Bitcoin Product Community [Discord](https://discord.gg/Ztvwn8fycA), and introduce yourself. The beauty of open source is people are willing to help FOSS products, and to answer your questions.

As you continue to sweep the FOSS floors with your product [mop](https://medium.com/all-things-product-management/product-manager-you-are-664d83ee702e), remember that you are contributing to the mission that you believe in. You are working in the open, with even less authority than a PM at a company might have, and as a result leveling up. You build up your reputation in FOSS, and you show others your capabilities in the FOSS world (and also prospective employers, and co-founders) by doing.

Hopefully this helps you get started. Reach out to [elsat on nostr](https://njump.me/npub1zafcms4xya5ap9zr7xxr0jlrtrattwlesytn2s42030lzu0dwlzqpd26k5) if you have questions about the FOSS journey, and join the Bitcoin Product Community Discord.

I just tagged strfry 1.0.0. Here are some of the highlights:

* negentropy protocol 1: This is the result of a lot of R&D on different syncing protocols, trying to find the best fit for nostr. I'm pretty excited about the result. Negentropy sync has now been allocated NIP 77.
* Better error messages for users and operators.
* Docs have been updated and refreshed.
* Lots of optimisations: Better CPU/memory usage, smaller DBs.

Export/import has been sped up a lot: 10x faster or more. This should help reduce the pain of DB upgrades (which is required for this release). Instructions on upgrading are available here:

https://github.com/hoytech/strfry?tab=readme-ov-file#db-upgrade

Thanks to everyone who has helped develop/debug/test strfry over the past 2 years, and for all the kind words and encouragement. The nostr community rocks!

We've got a few things in the pipeline for strfry:

* strfry proxy: This will be a new feature for the router that enables intelligent reverse proxying for the nostr protocol. This will help scale up mega-sized relays by allowing the storage and processing workload to be split across multiple independent machines. Various partitioning schemes will be supported depending on performance and redundancy requirements. The front-end router instances will perform multiple concurrent nostr queries to the backend relays, and merge their results into a single stream for the original client.
* As well as scaling up, reverse proxying can also help scale down. By dynamically incorporating relay list settings (NIP-65), nostr queries can be satisfied by proxying requests to external relays on behalf of a client and merging the results together along with any matching cached local events. Negentropy will be used where possible to avoid wasting bandwidth on duplicate events.
* Archival mode: Currently strfry stores all events fully indexed in its main DB, along with their full JSON representations (optionally zstd dictionary compressed). For old events that are queried infrequently, space usage can be reduced considerably. As well as deindexing, we are planning on taking advantage of columnar storage, aggregation of reaction events, and other tricks. This will play nicely with strfry proxy, and events can gradually migrate to the archival relays.
* Last but not least, our website https://oddbean.com is going to get some love. Custom algorithms, search, bugfixes, better relay coverage, and more!


Nice support!

Hey! I was running my own NOSTR relay with huge dreams. It was fun and the first goal was well achieved: Have my own notes archived, which may be later re-published.
My second goal was a world domination, but it was cancelled as i found out that less relays are better. This way I never pushed my relays to the public as a free relay.
I was using https://sr.ht/~gheartsfield/nostr-rs-relay/ on my self hosted server. Takes nearly no resources if you are the only user.


IPFS is a way. My next nostr plan is to host a client there.
Also a great opportunity for decentralised content sharing.

#[9] One of the arguments for inscriptions on the #Bitcoin timechain is that it can house important documents that may get censored by authoritarian governments (eg, the Whitepaper, Constitution, Bible, Quran, etc). 📚📜 Nostr Report's very own #[11] argues that "We don’t need ordinals or inscriptions to put 3d guns on the Bitcoin blockchain. We have #nostr for that."

#[13] One of the draws of Nostr is that without the ability to edit or delete notes, people seem more genuine and courteous with each other. If you were curious why notes can't be deleted, DK does a great job of explaining why. 🤝🫂

#[23] https://filestr.vercel.app/ has previews for image, audio and video files so far. Verbiricha says it would be cool to implement PDF previews, use Threejs for rendering 3D files, etc. and he plans to make it easy in Habla to embed these files as nostr references. NIP-51 is really interesting since it allows you to create lists of file events which could be rendered as a gallery. These files and lists can be zapped, commented, bookmarked.. 📝⚡📑

SEC provides more regulatory clarity today, asserting that most of "crypto" falls under existing securities rules, and won't get tailored regulations. SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce said, "We see this new technology, and we're not willing to make any adjustments to accommodate it. If you don't look exactly like incumbent firms, then we're just going to be fine with killing you off or driving you offshore or forcing you to turn yourself into a centralized entity."

ECB President, Christine Lagarde, said she has "huge confidence" that the US will not default on its own debt, saying, "I just cannot believe that they would let such a major, major disaster happen." This statement comes as the US government is facing a default as early as this summer if Congress does not raise the debt ceiling. 💵🖨

Stay Classy Nostr


I have both now. The NOSTR (rs) relay took 5X more time to set up due to my special conditions on my own hosting and port forwarding.
Setting up a BTC node was really quick. Reading the documentation took  more time.
Protip: Blocks-only mode -> really saves you a lot of bandwidth but keeps you up to date with blockchain and can be disabled anytime to have the "full node".
