This Bitcoin Talk is Dangerous!

The unfortunate story about how jyn_urso's talk was censored at Baltic HoneyBadger 2024.

 Great post and really saddened to hear this come from BHB. Nostr is where the freedom of speech is and also bless Ben Arc. 
 Idea: Nostr Academy 

I would like the ability to host private video educational series with zap ... 
 Yo!

Great idea, fantastic actually.. been thinking about bringing a load of twitter people from twitter spaces to audio podcasting here.

Currently myself and @npub1cyla8qgt9gv8y6ydv8s2prt89h8afc0sr2kaz64ryjmlpdrzxm4qwlh53q (Kdnolan) at @npub19p345mfx9cdks8a7p5vzyt9vkhavueh7g57murk24mwa0mn08fes8wdkan (The School Of Bitcoin) have been doing V4V lessons in Australia online, once a week for quite a few years. We've just changed schedule to one Tuesday a month now I believe but with alot more emphasis on Value 4 Value and good discussions.

1. This is EXTREMELY possible. You can utilize Hivetalk for screensharing and also everyone talking through a P2P nostr site. 
There is also CornyChat.com and Nostrnests.com for pure audio based discussion.
2. @npub18pudjhdhhp2v8gxnkttt00um729nv93tuepjda2jrwn3eua5tf5s80a69 (BitKarrot) is behind  @HiveTalk and  @Vic is responsible for CornyChat.com - Apologies ! Don't know who runs the show at Nostrnests.
3. Most certainly to group up with us and see what we're doing n such. We just grouped up with PlanB.Network so we hope to really get things moving forward for the greater bitcoin community ASAP!

Best,

 The Victorian Bitcoin Technology Club went on a Camping Retreat this weekend... spectacular to say the least!

 Great to meet you John and everyone else 😄  Can't wait for the next! 
 Holy shit balls the tears wont stop 
 Any mysterious stranger out there want to buy a girl a beer on her birthday? 
 MAaaaaaaaaate!! Happy Birthday !! 🥳🥳🥳

Forget the beer, get the drink of YOUR choice! 
 All the best! Have a great day+night+week+month+year! Then repeat 😂

 Not sure how long I've been streaming to zap.stream for but it's been a fair while! Although I'm usually a once a week or once a fortnight type of streamer who doesn't doxx themselves on camera n such really yet. I'm not that shy of the camera, it's just that I'm usually smoking joints or something so it probably would look more professional if I didn't showcase that live 😂

Very cool site imo.. it could use alot of work still in some tiny regards but for live streaming games... works quite nice. I have a cloudflare account which I stream to through OBS, that then gives me a m3u/hls (? I forget which) stream link which I plug into zap.stream and presto... really. Cloudflare allows me to select multiple output RTMP servers too which makes streaming to Twitch and other platforms a sinch. 

If I was a hardcore influencer I would probably still try to release all my content on as many platforms as possible... but I would aim to release everything on nostr first, then eventually, nostr only. Need to really aim to learn video editing I feel to really push my brand more although I never got into streaming to influence others or to become a partner with a big computer peripheral company or anything. Purely to stream the latest games in as highest fidelity as possible to an audience that can zap me 😃 

A twitch donation is nice n all but I still value 21 sats over $5 in fiat that goes through the PayPal Mafia and other 3rd party methods.😂

Have been trying to get people over to Zap.Stream or even to introduce the idea and sadly too many just visit the site, see there's only a handful of streamers active then quit sadly. They don't see the long-term growth of their brand which could easily become the forefront of nostr live streaming. 
 Yes!! https://flare.pub is massively underated too I feel. 
 A streaming sats per minute or hour type thing could be really cool. The major perk of subscribing to networks like Twitch or Patreon is you get 'insider' access to their Discord, Movie Nights, Game Nights, Coop Nights, etc etc. The concept of community with twitch streamers is fucking gigantic to be brunt. Every streamer has their own Discord to announce when Live, schedule, alot of stuff like that. Obviously the nostr-discord beater would be key here. 👀 on keychat and the stuff JeffG is working on!  @HiveTalk could be a great way to  create a nostr based voice+video chat community on Nostr but screensharing games is a bit of a nuisance currently sadly. (Virtual audio drivers and alot of configuration is required to get it to somewhat work) - The screensharing aspect though for browsers n such works perfectly as does voice! I have the utmost faith that  @BITKARROT will get these issues sorted.

Kinda brainstorming / freethinking of nostr-centric sites which could accommodate extra features for those who pay the toll I guess. Perhaps if streaming sats/min or /5mins etc then perhaps an hour or two of zapping or a minimum amount of sats can give you more 'privileged'  access to areas? Personally I'm not a fan of the subscription model but I can 100% understand streamers from twitch needing that kind of model to feel like they can survive on ZS alone or any nostr V4V model.

The thing is they may stream to zap.stream, they may get their audience all here, BUT they have to onboard every single user to the concept of lightning, zaps, and V4V if they want to see sats flow their way. It's like the concept of Nostr MUST go hand in hand with lightning and zapping being the only way. I prefer it this way myself but I can imagine SO many streamers not understanding this concept and wanting fiat onramp/offramp rails tremendously.

Got more to think and talk about I'm sure, just need to let the candle strike. 
 Uncle Rockstar is pretty much right so I highly endorse this video 😁 Going to put on the projector soon for the Bitcoin Group here!

HOLY! This looks amazing as all fark too. Some other screengrabs of the GUI for "Nestr" - a client that seems to do ALOT.. including providing a github style experience to the user over nostr! And yep! It's done by Colby Serpa and an amazing team from the sounds. (Sorry too crap to remember all their names from the livestream but please give him a follow as this looks awesome!)

 he power to learn from each other is more important than the need to police through moral outrage 
 With Nostr and identities on the internet being a thing, it might be wise to *let* people evolve on the internet through their own self-moderation and still maintaining their keypair throughout their lives 
 Just installed myself! VERY VERY nice compared to my previous experience from way back!

 Woah! Someone who knows of Tom Jennings and FidoNet?! Wish I was there to hear it!!! BBS's are truly decentralized I feel, had a little convo with AI about it ironically and it showcased a very positive outcome for decentralization with BBS's over the centralized structure we have currently.

Wishing your talk all the best in Riga and CANNOT wait to hear this one!

 Woah! Someone who knows of Tom Jennings and FidoNet?! Wish I was there to hear it!!! BBS's are truly decentralized I feel, had a little convo with AI about it ironically and it showcased a much more internet-aligned outcome with BBS's over the centralized structure we have currently.

 If she accepts sats or btc, say you'll pay 10-20% more. It sadly does give the impression though that you're just trying to offload and the nature of bitcoin volatility probably is what scares them. 

Otherwise make them use a non-kyc exchange for quick swapping or something I guess.  
 The best part of Nostr is yet to come! Thank you OpenSats and all donors behind it.

 Which clients let you hover over a user's pfp then lets you follow them in an instant? I'm finding myself opening peoples profiles into another tab, then following them. There must be a quicker way? 
 And now for something completely different.

TOYS!!!

Anyone remember this nostalgic classic? 
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105629/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk

Will no doubt make some disturbing comparisons between my entire childhood being predated on ALOT of violent games. The never-ending bridge between the old and the new. The retired and the arcane. 

Also, Robin Williams.

 Riga is going to be wild. I cannot wait to see Nostriches again. It's been only a few months for ... 
 Wish I was going 😭

have the ultimate best time!!! 
 Imo nostr:
1. Got labeled under “crypto” in the tech world. 
2. Is not an escape Elon destina... 
 Totally agree!

I'm almost wondering if a twitter clone, one to one almost... would succeed if running over Nostr? Almost as an experiment to see if that's what people want without censorship or scrutiny.

 You pay? 
 Just saying there is MeTube, Invidious and also Viewtube now 😉  
 Open source alternative front-ends for YT so you can just download the video, save it, then watch it instead of Adverts and tracking.

Y'all fuckin' serious??? #a... 
 da faq.. are *you* serious?

Where's your zap.stream profile? It's like the twitch of nostr for now...  That's where most gamers on nostr congregate but the numbers are still low. But to think there are none?!?

All me and a few lads do here is play games 24/7. 

PC, Console, Retro, Streaming, Supporting... dunno where you've been dude xD

https://www.steamcommunity.com/id/tigs

I play every genre pretty much. I have way too much time. 
 Hate to say it but pc master race meme exists for a reason. But yeah calling you an idiot is a bit strong 😂 
 Dead games are usually the best games! 
 We need to make a Nostr VR community. 
 Very cool...

I have played half of them and Talos changed me too... 

Can see you come from I guess singleplayer gaming being your life changing catalyst? Mine actually came from multiplayer gaming I guess so can't wait to read about your journey. 
 dang 😕 sorry to hear !

I can imagine LoL doing heaps to RSI around the world. There are some kinda cool accessories I know Microsoft makes to make gaming more accessible through alternative control setups 
 Yeah sure! 

I'll try to do the tldr; as I could probably rant for hours.

Got into multiplayer gaming over null modem cables and IPX networking with Coaxial and that. Sometime when Ultima Online (the first real mmo I guess) appeared, I had dial-up and that just transformed my entire vision of the internet and it's potential. Kinda like discovering Nostr isn't just one site, but potentially thousands if not millions. 

I realized that gaming could enter his sphere too with ease with accessibility being open to everyone, this truly culminated in the year iD software released the shareware Quake demo. Even though I was hitting like 400-500ms (I consider anything above 30 to be noticeable and laggy!), it was so groundbreaking at the time to be loosely connected albeit virtually to people all around the globe. 

Fast forward 10-15 years and I started getting my certifications in IT industries. ALL of them came with great ease to achieve and I was even approached to become a teacher even though I was in my junior year. All this from playing online games and also going to LAN parties a shit ton. 

These days though there is no emphasis on users running their own servers on dedicated hardware or even their own. It's all centralized and sadly creates for a subpar gaming experience in my eyes when it comes to latency and network/latency stability.

Besides the learning experience on the IT side, I also did play for the best Team Fortress and also Quake clan in Australia and that was a fair achievement for me at the time and I still cling onto it deeply. Sad thing was I met and trusted a few clan members and they turned out to be total douches not to be trusted. However made countless other friends so they're merely dust in the wind in the big picture.

I guess multiplayer gaming grew my social circle, allowed me to speak my mind in a place where that was frowned upon in school or home, and really gave me a place to belong. It was also a source for me discovering music and other underground scenes which I am forever grateful for finding out about!

Thanks for reading if you got this far 😅 
 Please do! Would love to read regardless of whether I'm in it 😃

 I use MeTube or Invidious. I think I saw something else called viewtube too. 

You should be able to find instances of metube and invidious at the very least scattered around the net so you don't have to self-host but I would always recommend self-hosting.
