Well said man. Have only had my mom reach out so far haha.


Oh no 🙃


Bitcoin (low risk, high cost) +
Lightning (medium risk, medium cost) +
Ecash (high risk, low cost)

scales to infinity


Take a moment to enjoy it freaks


We’re about to hit the stage where most people we know will never own a whole bitcoin.


Bro time to calm down 😂


I think it’s more the restrictiveness, opinionatedness, or ambiguity with these methods comparatively.

This week’s gospel reading is an important message for this week. 🙏

“One of the scribes came to Jesus and asked him, "Which is the first of all the commandments?" Jesus replied, "The first is this: Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. The second is this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these."”

- Mark 12:28-31

In regards to the Saylor video, I think my takeaway is that WE need to step up.

Bitcoin (on-chain) can’t scale to everyone. That’s the fact.

What we can do is continue to build protocols on top of Bitcoin. I think fedimint is the way (personally). I will take it upon myself to set up a fedimint with my family / friends and for my family / friends. It’s a compromise between self custody and 3rd party custody, but the benefits are substantial.


Has me thinking about the largest companies / hedge funds in the world already too integrated with Bitcoin because of the ETFs. What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?

Lop Nur, located in China, continues to be one of the most enigmatic regions globally.

No way Mumford was my main listen in high school


Before I started my company the people closest to me told me it was never going to work and I should go to law school.

I started it anyway. It was successful.

When I first bought bitcoin everyone laughed at me.

I bought more. No one laughs anymore.

When I got married my father in law told me I was being too aggressive saving money and I needed to lighten up and enjoy life or the marriage wasn’t going to work.

He got divorced 2 years later, I am still happily married.

After the birth of my second child, my wife had a serious complication and the doctor told us we’d never have more kids.

We had two more. The same doctor delivered them.

The things other people say/believe are almost always about themselves and their own hang ups and insecurities. You can safely ignore them.

I've built a thing: The Cashu mint Round Robin auditor

An app that perpetually monitors a list of mints by randomly sending Lightning payments between them. Forever. The sats go in a circle until all is lost to fees or rugs. If a mint fails to pay an invoice, it is marked with a scary red label.

You can donate Ecash from any mint to add it to the list of audited mints!

Eastern TN, Western NC, upstate SC are rekt. Hundreds of roads in Western NC simply no longer exist.

The state and federal response has been ongoing, with over 1,000 personnel, including National Guard assets, deployed according to FEMA. A disaster declaration for NC has been made but crews cannot traverse over collapsed bridges and 100+ foot ravines.

Main interstates I-40 and I-26 have collapsed sections. Numerous state roads have washed away.

Many secondary roads into neighborhoods are effectively eviscerated for miles. Survivors can't get out, help can't get in.

It's hard to get into Asheville. A 30 minute drive take 8-12 hours with many roads not existing, the remaining gas stations swamped. To get into smaller towns in the mountains is a day's journey if possible at all. National Guard trucks with food and water have to stop at collapses.

Similar to Hurricane Katrina, where boats and helicopters were the only viable means of aid delivery in the first days, air support is currently the most effective way to connect Western NC to the outside world. There are a limited amount of helicopters operating. Although the water has receded, the roads are still impassable.

This is still very much an active search and rescue mission. There is a high number of missing (in the thousands per state media) because people can't get in touch with loved ones. We saw this after Hurricane Ian as well, and expect that number will drop significantly when phone service/internet returns. For death toll and recovery, the final number will likely not be known for at least a month.

The lack of media presence on the ground isn't for lack of trying - reporters can't get into many areas for the same reason rescue can't. Even if they could, communication systems are destroyed / offline.

This is not going to be a quick recovery for anyone. Some rural parts of Western NC may never be rebuilt.

Simple, sharable steps to adopt a Proper Human Diet

1. Eliminate anything containing added sugar from your diet.
This sugar provides no benefit to your body and leads to high blood sugar, high insulin levels & chronic inflammation. This includes fruit juices which in many cases contain more sugar than a Coke.

2. Eliminate all grains & legumes from your diet. Wheat, rice, oats, corn, soybeans, etc. These have very little in the way of meaningful nutrition and contain 2 things to avoid; i. starch-long chains of sugar that break down into sugar in your body & ii. gluten-like inflammatory proteins that lead to chronic inflammation.

3. Eliminate seed oils from your diet. Canola, soybean, corn, peanut, sunflower, safflower, etc. These oils are new to the human diet and contain too much Omega-6 fatty acids that research has shown to lead to chronic inflammation in some people.

*** These 1st 3 steps will remove 100% of ultra-processed food from your diet and will give immediate results (in weeks) for 80% of people.

4. Make sure each meal contains meat, seafood or eggs. These foods were eaten by your ancestors for millions of years and are very nutrient-dense. Although many main-stream sources claim that these foods are inflammatory, we've seen bloodwork from 10,000's of people whose inflammatory markers go down on meat.

Carbohydrate Knob theory: Some people can tolerated more carbs than others. People who fatten easily or develop diabetes easily need to turn down their carb intake knob closer to zero. Young, active people can tolerate more natural carbs in their diet. Remember, there is no Need for carbs in the diet. As you turn down the Carb Intake Knob more & more you will be eating more meat, eggs & seafood...

Snacking: Snacking is never healthy, regardless of the snack. Eat discrete meals during the day separated by periods of not eating. Eating due to boredom or stress is never a healthy choice.

Plant Toxins: All plants use chemical defense chemicals to protect their parts, this is inarguable. Some plants are more toxic than others. Some people can tolerate these toxins more than others. Anyone suffering from inflammatory or auto-immune disease should try 90 days of Carnivore to see if they are reacting to the plant chemicals.

DAIRY: All mammals (you) can tolerate dairy as an infant. At about age 4-8 years most people (70% +/-) become lactose intolerant. That is not the only problem with dairy. Many people also become sensitive to the Caseins & Wheys in milk. This manifests in inflammatory conditions of the skin, joints, gut, mental... Dairy also contains caso-morphins that mimic morphine in the brain and can make dairy addictive to some people. This is good for keeping babies interested in mother's milk, but can cause adults to over eat/drink dairy for the good feeling. Some cheeses actually concentrate the caso-morphin content...

OK, that a good beginner course, I will answer every good question you ask here...

Oh nevermind it looks like we've found a 3rd


I'll just cancel the game and try another time.


When the game actually starts.


Yeah that's fine, if you don't "sign ready" it won't let you play anyways


Okay well I have the game setup to add 10 minutes if there's not 3 players.


We'll see if we get any more players.


If you want a break from OSRS, try joining my game built on nostr. Need 1 more player! https://quipper.westernbtc.com/


So you can "rejoin" with more sats


That's fine. It's for people wanting to offer more sats to play.


Yeah I'll have to add some functionality for that


You clicked the join sign in button in the bottom right?


Appreciate you testing this out with me!


I'll set up another game for 10 minutes from now


You didn't see a button to sign ready when you were logged in?


Need at least 3 players to play the game unfortunately.

You should get a button

I haven't gotten Wine to work either. Primal and Damus work fine for me.


The game will start at ~5:40pm EST.

Then click the Join button. It's 0 sats to play, but only 8 players can play. So if you want to play but it's full, offer more sats than the lowest paying player.


To participate, go to https://quipper.westernbtc.com and join with your nostr keys.


It's a game similar to Apple to Apples if you've ever played that.

In China, many social media users began using the meme "garbage time" (a sports terminology) to criticize the state of the economy.

As that meme grew here in 2024, China's central authorities began cracking down on it.

But many Chinese citizens are adept at moving around censorship. When desiring to criticize the current state of the Chinese economy, many of them will instead bring up historical examples of prior Chinese dynasties that made similar errors, and draw clear parallels to the present, while maintaining plausible deniability and difficulty of censorship.

Pretty interesting. My hat is off to the Chinese social media users working around top-down censorship with memes and historical analogies.

Impressive my man!


The market is reacting negatively this morning to extremely poor ISM manufacturing data.

Here’s the TLDR:
Demand fell, inventories rose (due to unsold stock), and prices *rose* (due to labor and shipping costs). In essence, this is stagflation (higher prices in a stagnant or slowing economy).

The Fed’s worst nightmare.

That’s good man.


Don’t underestimate the power of instilling confidence in others. Help people understand that they have power and agency. Bitcoin and Nostr are tools. Confident people leveraging these tools is what we need.


A few helpful nostr tips:

- Follow many people for a lively feed

- Re-post notes you like. Don’t just like and scroll by. We don’t have algos other than popular notes, you are the algo.

- We’re not big on follower counts, some clients won’t even show it by default. Post for people, not for growing followers

- Saving profile info can be buggy and seem like its not updating, but it probably is. Just give it time.

- Use #asknostr often to ask your questions, we all started like you, with many questions.

Why is 2% the right amount of inflation?

It’s the amount they can get away with in order to debase the underlying currency, much like a hidden tax, without upsetting people to the point of rebellion.

After several weeks of persistent effort, I'm excited to share Nostr Web Services (NWS).

NWS makes your web service reachable without having a publicly accessible IP address or DNS. All you need is an npub and a set of Nostr relays. A wide range of existing services could be run on NWS without requiring any significant changes. NWS achieves this by establishing a TCP connection between client and server which can be used by these applications.

Please keep in mind, that the software is in a very early state and not even released yet.

It's a steep learning curve but it's powerful man. My great uncle had a setup he wasn't using for anything that had 64 gb of Ram, 4 tb of storage, etc., and he said I could use it. People are open sourcing crazy stuff using Helm charts, and it's so easy to stand up your own: build server (Jenkins), image server (Harbor), email server (Mailu), whatever, after setting a few things in the config. It enables many of the services I used daily with Cloud providers like cloud storage, message queues, secrets, ECS, all run on my own servers.

Yeah it requires energy to learn it all in the beginning, but you can take your whole stack with you. The benefits are worth the learning IMO. I understand everyone might not feel that way, but I think K8 is an incredible open source innovation.


It obviously depends on your operation scale. It’s not for small one off projects.

1 Kings 20:11: "The king of Israel sent back this answer: 'A warrior putting on his sword for battle should not boast like a warrior who has already won."

Read this today and made me think of of how our society works today. People saying they're going to do something, people give them praise, then they don't do it.

Biggest takeaway, don't tell people you're going to do something. Do it, and then tell people if you want. Telling people beforehand gives you a false sense of accomplishment.


GM Matt. Focus on what matters 🫡


That was my last big buy! I don't try to time, but I saw the price and I was like okay what can I sell or find hidden money haha. Feeling the same about $61k.

And what else do the Bitcoin gang of Twitter need to migrate to Nostr, the same people who would scream in disgust if they ever encounter a Bitcoin KYC wallet?

Hi y'all !

Long time lurker, first time poster, I am very pleased to finally annonce Satonomics (https://satonomics.xyz) ! 🎉

Which I've been building full-time since November 2023 and started looong before

In short: FOSS Glassnode (https://glassnode.com)

In long:

Satonomics is an open-source suite of tools that computes, distributes, and displays on-chain data, making it freely available for anyone to use.

While mempool.space gives a very micro view of the network this tool is the exact opposite and very complimentary by giving you a more global/macro view of the flow and various dynamics of the network.

It doesn't matter who you are and what you want to do with the data, I strongly believe and it is very important that anyone should have a full and free access, be able to verify and visualize any kind of data from the network. And so you'll find many many charts (and soon dashboards), or routes through an API (if you prefer it raw) to do anything; from doing a health-check, gain insight into the current or past state of the network or even trading, I don't care, do what you want !

I realize it's not as exciting as ecash and nostr/bitcoin tools but it is something that needed to be done. We can't have fiat-minded 700$/m closed tools like Glassnode being the go to.

Warning: very early and very alpha, things might break and the data might be false (and I'm 100% positive that some datasets are)

Anyway, enjoy and let's keep building ! 🔨

It looks like some sophisticated attack where they're grabbing as many signed notes as they can from random people and attempting to inject those. Not from one pubkey, but a big batch or something.


Something is happening with the relays (maybe ddos attack?). Getting timeouts from nostr.wine and your relay. It looks like my relay is also being spammed by new events from a few users. 1000's of events trying to be inserted at once (thankfully mine is blocking because they're not on my whitelist).


Told my friend that I was only on nostr. His response:

"Huh, I just read the webpage and none of it made any sense to me; sounds like cool decentralized stuff. Glad it's good."

I tried to mimic someone trying to learn about nostr by: searching "what is nostr" on Google, looking through the frontpage of nostr.com and watching the video. Video uses terms the average person knows / cares nothing about. I understand my friends response.

UPDATE:

WesternBTC will transition to a new subscription model at the end of the month. Here’s what you need to know:

Grandfathered Pricing:

- All users who have subscribed before June 30th will be grandfathered into permanent whitelisting as a token of my appreciation for your early support during the beta phase.

Price Stability:

- Once you subscribe, you lock in your price for as long as you maintain your subscription.
- You’ll be shielded from any future price increases.
- You can also extend your subscription at the current rate to enjoy continued benefits.

Why the Change?

- Operating and scaling a relay incurs monthly costs. This new subscription model ensures I can sustainably support and enhance the services.

Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.

Thank you!


At the end of the month, WesternBTC relay will be switching to a monthly subscription model. Those who join before then or have joined already will be grandfathered in.

Cashu is doing wonders for ecash innovation and research. A lot of their work gives inspiration to many teams, including ours.

That said, I have very little interest in any sort of deployed cashu instance and I think they should only exist for proof of concept experimentation. Which is how I think most people are using it, which is great. I just don't see it as thing that can nor should be used seriously. It's a step backwards and won't last long if it's used at all. That's why we will not be supporting it at Mutiny.

If you want to use ecash in a way that does have the chance to operationally exist with enough decentralization (IE, NO UNILATERAL CONTROL), fedimint is the best hope for that and I would encourage checking it out. It takes 5 minutes to install.

Some don't see the difference between the two projects but the difference is the most important aspect that is relevant to this day and age.

Death to centralization, pick the better path. You don't really have a choice, it's being made for you.

I believe I've devised a method to conceal the recipient of end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) messages, which I'm calling the Lost in the Shuffle (LITS) network/protocol. This solution requires establishing a new network where the identity of the sender is known—this is an intended feature. The concept is straightforward and efficient, yet I wonder if it might already have been thought of, or if I'm overlooking something obvious. Given my limited experience in writing white papers and working with low-level code, I'm sharing this protocol openly.

Overview of the LITS Protocol and Network:

The network relies on two primary entities: a node and a repeater.

Basic Functionality:

The repeater receives messages from nodes within the network and broadcasts them to everyone. While all nodes receive every broadcasted message, they only process and decrypt those they are equipped and wish to decrypt. The repeater maintains a simple database of all node IPs and their corresponding public keys.

Operational Details:

1. Joining the Network

 - A new node (JN) initiates its inclusion in the network by sending its public key and a payment to the repeater. The exact nature of this payment system is still under consideration; it may be beneficial for the repeater to function as an e-cash mint.

- The repeater responds by sending JN a comprehensive list of all the public keys currently active within the network. For a network of 1,000,000 nodes, this list would be approximately 0.5GB in size (assuming 512 bytes per node).

 - JN then uses these public keys to encrypt a symmetric key (potentially AES-256) for each node. These encrypted keys are bundled into a message and sent back to the repeater.

2. Key Distribution:

- As both the sender's and receiver's identities are known during this setup phase, the repeater distributes each encrypted key message to the respective node.

- Upon receiving its encrypted key, each node decrypts the message to extract the symmetric key and stores this key in its database, linked to the sender’s public key. Nodes choose which public keys they wish to listen to, with the default setting being none, to optimize processing speed and storage efficiency. Nodes may also choose to monitor messages encrypted with their own public key.

3. Sending Messages:

- To send a message, JN encrypts it with the symmetric key associated with the recipient’s public key and sends this encrypted message to the repeater, possibly accompanied by a small payment.

- The repeater then broadcasts this encrypted message to all nodes. Only the intended recipient, possessing the correct symmetric key, can decrypt and recognize the message.

Network Participation:

Anyone can operate a node or a repeater. However, repeaters benefit from having high bandwidth and being part of a larger network, although the returns diminish beyond a certain size.

Trade-offs:

- Large repeaters may face scalability issues as the number of nodes increases.

- High upload bandwidth is necessary for repeaters to manage effective message distribution.

- Nodes must remain online to receive messages; otherwise, they risk missing transmissions unless the sender rebroadcasts them.

nostr is still mainly used alongside twitter. in the best rare case, as a replacement. and only because people are running away from something about twitter they don't like.

there is nothing that people want to run to nostr for yet. zaps were promising, but bitcoin is still a hurdle (one that primal is doing the best at overcoming), and it's doubtful lightning could scale to a massive adoption moment.

nostr needs a feature or experience that's unique and sets it apart. i *think* that is the ecosystem of microapps over the long term...but it's definitely not in the short term. and that might be ok.

for twitter the initial draw was the simplicity and weirdness of 140 characters (we started with zero network effect, facebook had it all...that's built over time). later it became the conversation which lead to the "public square" (owned by a private corporation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). and then as it grew, it had a single point of control/failure people could attack.

nostr doesn't have to worry about that last bit. it's an incredible feature. but not one the average person cares about (no matter how much they yell "FREE SPEECH!"...if people actually cared about free speech, bitcoin and nostr would be all they used...they don't).

all this to say, we're not doomed. but what we think is the killer feature isn't right now. who's going to discover the one that is?

re: his point on retention. It is true that most people do not stick around. It’s sad that “make people addicted to your app“ by pumping retention is the standard of success. My main goal is to just build tools that people find useful and gives them freedom in ways to communicate that don’t “go down” or get censored. Maybe most people don’t need or want this solution right now. Maybe elons vision of free speech is “good enough” for most people. Some things are just out of our control, what we can focus on as nostr devs is continuing to polish our solutions and be ready for when we are needed. nostr:note1ju88tlqrqjjry63mumet2kper8n8dnqlshs2qp0qm72m86khh3yqctvl3m

Supposedly a lot of Bitcoin services are down. All systems are a go at Strike.

US users can buy bitcoin with their bank, cards, direct deposit and wire transfer.

African users can now buy bitcoin and USDT with mobile money, bank transfers, and cards.

The other 60 markets we support can also buy bitcoin with their debit card. More market expansion coming, next one in about a month.

If you ever have any issues with a limit, a purchase, or anything at all please don't hesitate to reach out to me. For some reason people assume I'm too busy. Too busy with what?

They may suck but you can get shotgun KYC’d by cloud computing. Pick your poison.

Getting locked into a cloud providers infrastructure makes you ruggable. Know this from personal experience.


Disagree with this. Might be the easiest. I think the *best* way is on machines you control.

huge thanks to Bastien Teinturier, Rusty Russell, Dustin Dettmer,

doing spec work is a really long process, that requires so much work and input from lots of different stakeholders. it's probably the hardest type of work a programmer can do, and i'm so so thrilled that we got this over the finish line!

When I was younger, my parents told me stories about having so much money that you could live off the interest. Living off free money.

I look at it now and realize that interest they're living off doesn't keep up with inflation. They're actually losing purchasing power in the long run.

It's a completely opposite model with bitcoin. You don't get "interest", but your purchasing power grows over a long enough time against every other asset (nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe has incredible talks and books about this).
