If I had more time, I'd write an FOSS for FIM (file integrity management). The red tape in this area is insane and forces people to buy some enterprise version. None of the open source / free versions have this working effectively. I've gotten 90% of the way only to find some portion intentionally left out or simply doesn't work.

Someone made their relay accessible over TOR as well. I’ll have to find it.

But say the IRS comes in and they're like, "this is the price you pay to run this fedimint, you guys owe us xyz" blah blah blah. I guess the guardians wouldn't know who's bitcoin they're giving away.. but would the IRS care? I guess nothing would stop everyone in the fedimint from moving their money to another fedimint if they caught wind of something like this going down. Honestly, the more I work through this scenario the better I feel.


Is this a weakness point of fedimints? Say there's a 100 people in the fedimint and 7 guardians. IRS has to pressure 4 of 7? Am I thinking of this wrong?


Interesting fedimint is making a second wave of excitement. I’m here for it.


FEDIMINTS ARE FAIRLY CENSORSHIP RESISTANT SINCE FEDERATION OPERATORS CANNOT SELECTIVELY CENSOR USERS.

USERS HOLD THE PRIVATE KEYS FOR THEIR OWN ECASH TOKENS. TOKENS ARE PRIVATE AND FUNGIBLE.


Is the easiest way to be “all in” in Bitcoin by borrowing against it for fiat? I’m thinking yes. Thoughts?


GM. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO TIME THE MARKET. MANY HAVE TRIED AND FAILED. STAY HUMBLE & STACK SATS INSTEAD.


I forgot you can't get paid in bitcoin 😞

GM MATT. LOOKING FORWARD TO RHR


Here’s some context.

Me and my team have been struggling to reserve 8 instances using H100’s. Most of the time we request it, they’re unavailable.

Zuck just got 200k H100’s.


Will we ever see a “dark market” price for real Bitcoin that’s substantially different than the OTC “Bitcoin”?

GM MATT. FEDIMINTS WILL BRING BITCOIN TO THE PLEBS.


GM nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx, RHR today?


nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg I don't know if it's only me, but I haven't been able to get the QR code scanner on the PWA to scan LN invoices. Have had to manually paste the address.


How many guardians? (ATM)


This did it for me too. How “easy” is it to set up a fedimint at this point?


The freedom to transact is the most essential right for the foundation to any working society.

You take that away, you take away society.

There's no fucking if's.


One of my friends in college said he never used shampoo. Thought that was weird, but I tried it. For a while, my hair felt greasier. After a couple of months, my scalp adjusted to it. Haven't used shampoo since.

"Someone owes me bitcoin" - the transition from a fiat world to a bitcoin world is going to hit some people like a wall of bricks.


What inspired you to do the fast?


Kind of want to run a damus fedimint and/or LSP and integrate a non-custodial mutiny-like wallet into damus clients.


In the future, bitcoin transactions will likely be similar to FedWire transactions.

You have probably never had to use FedWire directly. You still use the USD every day though.

Bitcoin as the main rails offers a better world. The intricacies are and will continue to be worked out.


Fedimint is gonna be the solution. That'll be always online and then you can sweep to your self custodial wallet when you come online


I know that feel. Congrats man!


A little advice.

Every investment I ever made where I felt smart and savvy for making it turned out to be a loser.

Every investment I ever made where I felt sick to my stomach during the buy, like I was making a huge mistake turned out to be a massive winner.

Great idea. Would be easy to put a % of payments to my relay towards FOSS developers.

Is there a list of Lightning addresses for prominent developers?

You mean I shouldn’t sell my freedom?


Would appreciate it if anyone has a second to check if my relay is showing up as "paid" when browsing relays. I think it might be cached in noStrudel.


Finally set up my paid relay at an ISP in Corvallis Oregon on custom servers. Has automatic note syncing from Damus and Primal. 10k sats admittance fee.


Wild.


Been head-down for the past two weeks setting up a paid relay located at an ISP in Corvallis, Oregon.

Will have some cool features like syncing all your notes upon being whitelisted (only from Damus and Primal).

Self run servers, no AWS, Google Cloud, etc.

Will start off at 10k sats for permanent whitelisting (while in beta).


You don’t have a #Nostr account. You have a key that signs events, and you publish those events, and then anyone who wants to read those events can do so by retrieving them from anywhere they exist. There’s no one to turn it off, there’s no account to suspend or restrict. There is simply information flowing to and from you and everyone else who uses it. This puts the power of speech back in our hands.


BULL MARKET STARTED 🫡 https://image.nostr.build/41282d823dd214d0f8d5e983ac7291261aa7aca7c3ab6526f1159192cee9723b.jpg


Have always appreciated and respected your guys’ radical acceptance. You don’t see it much these days.


The only thing that's changed is more sats for your cuck-bucks. STACK.


Is there a client or script to help pull all your notes from the relay list?

Still bullish on Fedimint? Seems like a good solution in these high fee environments.


Thanks for the answer Matt 🫡


Fees are working as they're supposed to. I'm more pointing out the flaws of Lightning at the moment.


Here's my issue I have with a lot of bitcoiners at the moment. Many are saying: should have opened channels before fees spiked. What about the plebs?


Me before RHR: 😴, me after RHR: 👀


Or make an example out of 1 or 2 people


Sup freaks


😂. These people are evil.


Noscl has been simple and effective too.


What’s the most expensive aspect?


I laughed ridiculously hard at this.


Here I was ignorantly thinking: setting up a paid nostr relay would be easy. Maybe going the nostr-rs-relay route is...

My Nostr predictions for 2024

Today marks one year since I joined Nostr. It’s been a crazy year, but I have a feeling that 2024 is going to be much crazier. Here are some predictions:

1. Nostr social media clients will become insanely good. By the end of the year we will surpass the legacy social media clients in terms of UX and features, making them look like relics of the past.

2. More lightning wallets will implement Nostr integration. By the end of the year Nostr will become a de facto standard public lightning directory.

3. The bitcoin bull run will bring more users to Nostr, adding more gravity to the network.

4. At some point, a massive new cohort of users will join Nostr. We won’t be ready for them. Relays and other services (indexers, media hosting, etc.) will struggle to support them. After some hiccups, the Nostr ecosystem will adjust.

5. With the increased network activity, spammers will return in force. They will be sophisticated and relentless, putting all of our spam mitigation services to the test.

6. Long form notes will become much bigger on Nostr.

7. At least one “other stuff” content type will take off in a meaningful way.

8. Nostr’s censorship resistance capabilities will get tested in a major public episode.

9. The AI community will get much more interested in Nostr. They will be attracted by the idea that open source language models, combined with Nostr’s open social graph and publicly accessible data - could actually democratize AI.

10. By the end of the year everyone - even the haters - will realize that Nostr is going to win.

11. nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx will accuse me of not being bullish enough.

Anyhow, GM ☀ and Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅🏻


Even trying to transfer money from my wife’s business Capital One account to our joint is incredibly painful.

IMO, bitcoin's value is going to be realized when a project only accepting bitcoin goes viral. Paper bitcoin: blown up, liquidity: dried up, circular economy: another step closer.


Here’s a hard reality.

The understanding you had of bitcoin at +$50k is the reason you’re buying it at $20k.

It’s also the reason your friends and family aren’t buying it now that it’s cheaper.


Have you used OpenChat? 7b model with ChatGPT 3.5 equivalence.

I know it would be a “fork” for relays, but could it be integrated at that layer? Sats / MB would be good incentive for a relay to want to integrate it if the user wanted to pay the relay to host a file.

Bitcoin is more correlated with global liquidity than any other asset I track. Liquidity doesn't generally tell you the *magnitude* of what bitcoin's price will do, but it has a pretty strong push/pull on the *direction* that bitcoin's price goes in, all else being equal. It's not the only variable, but so far it has been a meaningful one. The mechanism is that it affects the rate at which new external capital tends to come into bitcoin.

Bitcoin supply halvings are an expression of its hardness. And the direction is always harder.

Global liquidity is an expression of fiat currency hardness. Usually it gets softer over time, but with brief periods of hardening. And fiat currency is much larger overall, so it affects a lot of asset prices including bitcoin. Due to bitcoin's inherent moneyness (lack of earnings or other dynamic factors) it tends to correlate to liquidity more tightly than other assets.

I’d love to see a comprehensive video of taking your bitcoin off a KYC exchange, sending it to a Sparrow Wallet, mixing, and sending to a multi sig wallet. I realize this would be a long video though. So maybe a series. Most people will relate to taking it off a KYC exchange (even if it’s not a recommended way).


I watched nostr:npub1rxysxnjkhrmqd3ey73dp9n5y5yvyzcs64acc9g0k2epcpwwyya4spvhnp8 videos. Easy to understand and comprehensive.

Thank God, I actually did backup my state and was able to restore successfully.


I think I lost all my Lightning funds in Mutiny Wallet.. my fault for not saving the state. No idea why my PWA iOS wallet reset though. Anyone else experience something similar?


I still think nostr goes hand-in-hand with torrents. Maybe even an upgrade to relays to access the torrent network.


Seems like you could use nostr to load in extensions via some library or something.


An ongoing power struggle between government and big tech. The same battles rages on in China.

How is this shit real. One voice of reason, completely ignored haha.


If it looked like that 😁


💯. Never had to make one, never will. Functional programming all the way. How do we feel about Python classes?


Did ChatGPT get this right?

"So if I send the coins from Coinbase to a utxo I control, send that utxo to a coin mix, and have the coin mix send those coins to a different uxto I control, will it be hard to tell if the original uxto I had and the new one I have are from the same xpub?"

"Yes, the process you described, involving sending coins from Coinbase to a UTXO you control, then sending that UTXO to a coin mixer and finally sending the mixed coins to a different UTXO you control, can enhance privacy and make it difficult to link the original and new UTXOs to the same xpub.Here's how this process can improve privacy:Coin Mixing (Coin Tumbling or CoinJoin):
When you send your coins to a coin mixer, the mixer combines your coins with those of other users, making it challenging to trace the ownership of the coins. The mixed coins are then sent to a new address you control.Breaking the Link:
By sending the mixed coins to a different UTXO you control, you are breaking the link between the original coins from Coinbase and the new mixed coins. It becomes difficult for an outside observer to determine if the new UTXO is associated with the same xpub.Keep in mind that while this process enhances privacy, it's not foolproof. Advanced blockchain analysis techniques can still uncover potential links. To further enhance privacy, consider using privacy-focused cryptocurrencies or techniques like using Tor or VPNs, and following additional best practices for transaction privacy and security. Always prioritize security and take caution when handling and transacting with cryptocurrencies."


Yeah it seems like people are realizing how messed up these tax filing rules are and almost seem to be revolting. I love it.


Woosh


With the new IRS rules about $600+ transactions, I wonder if people will start using bitcoin / lightning to make these transactions. I've seen one or two people on Facebook Market offering lower prices if paid in bitcoin.. wonder if this trend will catch on.

I'm not encouraging this (as it's going to be illegal), but I am speculating.


Here's some nostalgia for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTfeaVGQn70


Eye opener.


I’d say the most important thing you can do, if you’re in the position, is use your companies resources. These AI capable machines are expensive, but learning it will benefit you and your company. It’s easy to spin up a VM with GPU in AWS, but it cost a minimum of $3.50 / hour.

I’d recommend trying to learn AI in a platform agonistic way. I.E., instead of using AWS SageMaker, try booting up a basic Ubuntu image and getting that prepared with all the drivers and libraries you would need (PyTorch, Cuda, juypterlab, etc).

I found this method works best for how I learn. I followed this guy to try to get some basic stuff working https://youtu.be/Q9zv369Ggfk?si=dkB6IPrVui6sPKsg. Still so much too learn, it’s crazy. The trick is staying motivated, because it’s difficult.


No worries, it might not affect me. We’ll see though.


The job losses.


Appreciate it man. Being working hard to sharpen my skill sets (particularly in AI) *if* my team actually does get laid off.


Thanks man. Thankfully I don’t think it includes my team, but it’s eerie to see it effecting my company.


Thanks. Thankfully my team runs a tight ship and it’s our more profitable sector, but I worry for other departments. Not saying it can’t happen to me and my team though.


My fiat job wrote an internal news letter saying they were going to be getting rid of unprofitable departments. First time this stuff is hitting home. It’s coming.

design."

For nostr, “I have the receipts” takes on a whole new meaning. No deleting notes, notes published to multiple relays, etc.


Using AI to help you to create AI feels weird.


Very interested in this. You guys better cover this in RHR!

There have been many times where I think “I could outsmart the market if I just sold here and buy back when it crashes” only to be glad I listened to #[0] say “stay humble and stack sats”. An ESSENTIAL reminder.

I haven’t been in this space too long, but everything I have learned about bitcoin has taught me: I have no idea what’s going to happen to the price.

Thank you ODELL bot.


Congrats on episode 100 my man! You’ve done us freaks well.


#[0] is real estate really a shitcoin? Here’s how to tell with a simple stat.

There were ~140 million houses in just in the US in 2020, and this number will keep growing.

There will never be more than 21 million bitcoin.

Plan accordingly.


The problem right now is bitcoin base chain. If everyone wanted to flee to bitcoin because the banks were failing, they couldn’t.

We desperately need fedimint if we want to onboard the world.


Bitcoin was designed to be ideal in this moment.

As trust in institutions continues to crumble the value of trust minimized money cannot be overstated.
