Whoa, mining for blood for Bitcoin!


Seems like you've hired some solid employees


Going solo on that coffee?


How you feeling?


Just got the new update and things look good. Great work Vitor!

Any chance you could add something to copy images to another host and replace links in the new events? I imagine that X will delete media if people start deleting their accounts after this tool. No need to lose years of quality memes if that happens.


Introducing EXIT

You broke up with your ex; it wasn’t treating you well, maybe it was shadow banning you or your friends; it was manipulating you into becoming your worst possible self.

But over the years you accrued a bunch of quality shitposts, and perhaps some nuggets of wisdom.

Introducing: https://exit.pub:

The last bridge you’ll need to port over your data into the new world of decentralized freedom-tech.

1. Download your twitter archive
2. If Elon agrees, you’ll get a zip file; uncompress it and just use exit.pub to import your data into nostr

✅ original dates are used; whatever you posted in 2009 will show up as posted in nostr in 2009
✅ granular control of which tweets to import (threads, non-replies, replies)
✅ V4V, you choose how much your shitposts are worth
✅ it *should* preserve embedded images
✅ granular control of which relays you want to publish to

Try it out:

https://exit.pub


Awesome work! I had just downloaded my archive yesterday to look at exactly this. Great work!


If you're in need I might have another data center that could accommodate...I'll be down at their site in a couple weeks and can follow up


Nah they are only 100mbps at the moment

I had asked them about hosting some game servers for me earlier this year for nostr:npub1tls2spvk2hgcytsn3ds7r84jh7a68ht37v0gksu60gkcdwadlldsvwk4mr and they were willing to see what could be done at their isp level but I haven't had to look into it yet


Anyone in need of hosting?

8c/kWh
Energized within 24 hours of receipt
1 month deposit
Site is in Kentucky
Already operating 1.5MW on site.


You told me I should have waited on buying my Pixel watch a few months ago and my low time preference showed through. The talk of the same frame and battery + new sport sensor makes me hesitant about PW2
battery life anyway or at least that's what I'm telling myself to not feel silly.


This was always the case for Mojang. They've never supported this kind of gaming and though this model was more interesting it was still a hostile environment.

That's what's exciting about building on Rust. Facepunch, the creators, explicitly allow you to use alternative currency models in their ToS. I have little fear of similar issues for nostr:npub1tls2spvk2hgcytsn3ds7r84jh7a68ht37v0gksu60gkcdwadlldsvwk4mr.


I wonder if they have an account export of data that we could setup as the data source for the broadcast. If they give us something in csv could make it a simple upload tool to broadcast to relays.


Are there still any easy ways to scrap or pull down tweets? I'd love to scrap my old tweets and broadcast them as nostr events before deleting my account


GM, your government hates you

Hi NOSTR

I love toxic change!

I'm here to swap lighting 1:1 for your UTXO's. Limits are between 3k - 99k sats.
Over 50k we can organize an order on robosats. Less than 50k you'll just have to trust me bro! Reputation will grow over time


This makes a lot more sense now.


Ah I see what you mean because at the end of the day Bitcoin is the value. The fiats are just a measuring stick of the value so changing the stick doesn't change the value.


I think we'd see it fall apart under those conditions. The model only works going back to 2020 presumably because there were higher non-USD amounts during those times.


I take it as saying that we're all equal in our salvation. Those that spend their lives in their faith will have the same salvation as those that find the Lord in their final days. I don't think its as much about incentive as it is the grace of God to save us all.

Let's go #teamzbd!


Who's watching #OrangeLeague today? One of these teams are walking away with 21m sats https://www.youtube.com/live/16uP1ziEPgY


In a way it is. It's just taking advantage of the fact that most people are still using USD as the unit of account and thus it can turn UTXO sets into a bell graph and find the best fit for price. If the dollar stops being the primary unit of account to another fiat currency, or eventually even Bitcoin, then this heuristic will break.


It's not recording any USD values at all which is the most interesting part. Most people spend bitcoin around dollar based units of account. When they spend in their wallet they type $20, or convert $20 into a BTC version by hand, instead of basing their transactions around other unit of account values. This script will look at the daily UTXO sets and then run them on a bell curve to find a best fit of what the common USD value is to find the best fit USD price.


This is pretty cool. @SteveSimple has found a way to derive the price of Bitcoin just by looking at onchain heuristics.

You can view the price at utxo.live/oracle or run it on your own node's UTXO set using https://utxo.live/oracle/UTXOracle.py

In all the years I've done this I think I've only had one real infection from it. I have had friends actually rip the outer layer of their eye's lens from it drying inside and then it doing damage when it pulls loose though. I've just been lucky that I've never had any of those major issues from being so lazy 😆


💜💜💜

It definitely wasn't comfortable when I first tried but wouldn't say it hurt. You adapt pretty quickly once you get used to the feeling. That was 20 years ago so now I never notice until stuff like last night happens or they just get so old that I need to change them out.


Welcome to Costco


I love the top hide but less of a fan on the bottom hide. I like the ease of finding the Home feed or notification button right off my finger to refresh my feed. The extra step of sliding up to bring it back feels off on the UX.


Ha I've been told that as well for many years but I've always been silly and just kept doing it. I guess I need to start reevaluating that 🤔


Amethyst on mobile, Primal on web


Cause I'm the idiot that sleeps in them and never takes them out 🤣 Not sure how it happened though, I woke up and it was dried on my skin so had to have happened earlier in the night.


Whoa, woke up and my contact lens are dried to my face.

Idk calling for but that was the hot topic tonight nostr:npub1gvmc3nvmjekx7e0qlkeaqw2cqypvtqdcg4ljuz0wfj3zxjnnauys3ngk9f. It's interesting the lack of interest for people to have relationships and procreate in some of our more populated areas these days.

Plz cover sync if you do. I've had good luck with stream but syncing older events hasn't worked out for me yet.


https://satellite.earth/ has a decent nostr based Reddit replacement in progress


Zap splits work with Nostr Wallet Connect but they are quite annoying if the user is using regular wallet calls. Without NWC, users must go back and forth between the Amethyst and the wallet app for each split. It's quite annoying.

We need a new method to pay multiple invoices in a single call. Lightning devs, help us out here.

unconfiscatable this year


strong hands


offended by selling!


It looks like you're right. I tried to check the orders page this morning on clearnet and it didn't populate so I assumed they were still down. I loaded up on my own node and was able to just place an offer.


goes to show theres a lot of content on nostr beyond btc


im just impressed that bitcoin was as small as a percent that it was


dad > bitcoin and


wait i shouldn't have put my mortgage value in rock.jpg?


this is great! :) I hope you do this all the time


squirrel! 😆


gotta make sure we cover those zap.stream fees 🫂


i missed some buying chances huh?


wait the price dropped yesterday? lol


agreed! it'd be cool with time to see the articles while discussing similar to say lukewearechange does with his videos


I'm loving this format!


Wasted time because commission sales aren't always quality or no expected response rates for commission only roles?


I guess Circles would have been more similar to Communites. There were also collections so you could post directly to a subprofile of your own about topics. For example here's one of the last screenshots I could find of my old collection on Bitcoin.

https://m.primal.net/HLFg.jpg

No one else could post top level on this like a community. It was just my posts that I self categorized into collections and then anyone could search my profile for my post collections to find my Bitcoin collection (or search collections for topics you were interested in.)


This is what made Google+ my favorite social network. I could choose to share posts to individual circles, like Bitcoin, without sharing to my other more mainstream circles.


not long at all now!


oh nice! I've been needing some more cash since tabconf and didnt know they came up...i checked the clearnet site earlier and didn't notice any orders yet


We have a new release out!

There's soooo much to cover with this release. Going to try to point out as many of the big details as I can while keeping this post brief-ish.

First thing: Please show our contributors some love AND demonstrate the power of Nostr and zap the crap out of this post. All zaps are forwarded to our development fund that goes to reward our contributors.

General note: Our release cadence tends to be less frequent than other tools -- this is a natural facet of our work as a volunteer project, and that we have a more technically conservative posture given the importance of what we're helping bitcoiners safeguard.

Headline feature: reproducible builds. Anyone in the world should be able to reproduce and validate that the software we're releasing is in line with what is in our relevant code repositories.

Big quality of life improvements:
. Power-to-Splash: ~12 seconds
. Vastly improved live camera preview
. Noticeably more responsive controls
. Brightness adjustment reminder
. MicroSD removal reminder

Something big for the Uncle Jim SeedSigner maxis out there: Formalized support for SettingsQR! Transform SeedSigner from a featureful, more technical device into a dead-simple signer for grandma, and then back again with a couple of non-private QR codes.

For devs and everyone else who is on-mission to preach and teach the SeedSigner gospel: Screenshot generator! Create pixel-perfect renderings of most UI screens for explainers, tutorials and even development use cases.

All of these updates have come from more contributors than we've had involved in any previous release.

If you are receiving value directly from SeedSigner; or if you simply understand the importance of a discreet, DIY, non-corporate, FOSS, cold storage signing tool for the global bitcoin ecosystem -- please make a donation to our development fund.

I will be digging into the above features and updates in the coming weeks to provide more detail on their value, but for now grab your signer and give 0.7.0 a try!

1 SeedSigner = ♾ Cosigners

Thank you everyone!

Sabre56, a Bitcoin mining consulting firm, has raised $35 million to build 150 MW of hosting sites, with four sites totaling 115 MW already under construction in Texas and Wyoming. The company aims to have the capacity ready by the end of the year and is offering competitive pricing of $0.068-$0.072 per kWh.

I think it is kind of good news in a way. They stated they decided to do this because they were boot strapping the lndhub ecosystem but now they feel the self custody solutions are quality enough to not need a centralized system. I think keeping that consideration in mind it's good news we've progressed this far.

That being said I have to wonder if this is more to do with avoiding regulators as being one of the top custodial solutions for lightning. With zaps taking off and more and more value routing through them I have to wonder if regulatory issues were the real factor.
