Oh, the Bitcoin Miner game I've been playing just reduced the daily withdrawal from 500 sats to 50 😱

Feeling rugged, TBH.

I'm planning to give all my earnings to my son, for Christmas. And my future earnings have now been divided by 10...

I guess I'll play ten time less! That's the good thing, it's time consuming.

I understand bitcoin increasing in value would reduce rewards from the game. But reducing withdrawals doesn't make much sense.

The game is from Fumb, and using ZBD.


I wouldn't share them otherwise!


2 years ago today, I opened my first channel on #Phoenix wallet.

Since then:
- I increased its size
- I spliced it when the feature was available
- I used it to pay for stuff, zap (before ecash), and orange pill (not so efficiently...)
- I spent half of the funds I had there, but the value is about the same 😅

And I'm still happy with it!


My son just bought #bitcoin

From me 😅

Added 120 THB to his sovereign lightning wallet, Alby Go, that I just showed him.

Nice 😎


Finally set up nostr:nprofile1qqsyv47lazt9h6ycp2fsw270khje5egjgsrdkrupjg27u796g7f5k0spzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcprdmhxue69uhkummnw3ez6vfwde3x7tnpdenkzmnf9e3k75xqss4 Hub on my nostr:nprofile1qqs9df4h2deu3aae83fmet5xmrlm4w5l9gdnsy3q2n7dklem7ezmwfcpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq5xamn8ghj7dnvv45xs7tywde8g6rpvakkjuekw46nvar4vdhxgan6wumkxatzwpckk6rk0puhjdm2da5k7ce5x4kkkumjx3jkzepwdahxjmmwqyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wd9hxvmckqw0xz machine.

It took some time, because I had never backed up StartOS 😅 and I didn't want to add funds without a backup.

Being on Windows, I had a hard time formatting a disk in ext4...

Anyway, I opened a channel, set up Alby Go on my phone, and migrated my sats. And then, I added my son as a SubAccount, and did the same with his phone and Alby account.

We're now sovereign 😎

Amazing tech we have at our disposal these days. Bullish on #bitcoin

Just found this today https://www.bitcoinprediction.market/

A good start, but small. Several people I know bet 4 to 5 figures in USD on the election. The entire market for that bet is 9,452,420 SATs... So, they couldn't have used it.

And many things look manually implemented from what I read in the Telegram group.


Eric S. Raymond is an open source legend, author of the essay “The Cathedral and the Bazaar”.
Attached is his opinion on the US elections which I consider very valuable.

by @esrtweet

I hear Kamala Harris has conceded. For just a moment, I'm going to abandon the high-decoupling rationalist stance I normally post from and talk about what I personally wanted from this election and now hope I might get.

For me, a good outcome in this election meant not Trump winning, but his enemies losing.

I'm not MAGA, and not a tribal conservative of either the old-school or new-school kind. I'm a libertarian, and have some serious differences with substance with Trump and his partisans.

Also I have never much liked Trump as a person. He's vulgar and under-controlled; he talks and postures too much and, I think the charge that he's a narcissist has some weight. But...he chooses his enemies well.

I will also admit that I think better of Trump now than I did three months ago. He has demonstrated literal courage under fire, which is an important quality in a man who may need to make life or death decisions about the fate of a nation. I went to see him speak, and I saw a man much calmer and more together than I was expecting.

But I'm not really posting about Trump today, and the only other thing I'm going to say about him is that his most valuable quality is that he enrages evil people into unmasking themselves.

I have believed for decades that the central problem of American politics is defeating the Gramscian long march through our institutions. Covert and not-so-covert Marxists have waged a remarkably successful memetic war. it has many manifestations - blatant bias in the mainstream media, welfare statism, DEI, climate alarmism, transgender ideology, open borders - but the goal is always the same. To cripple and destroy the Main Enemy, the United States of America and everyone in it who loves liberty.

Trump's victory is the worst defeat of the Gramscians in my lifetime. They went all-in with an unprecedented campaign of lies, vitriol, hate propaganda, lawfare, and election rigging. He beat them anyway, and for that he has my respect.

What I want from the immediate aftermath of the election is to rejoice in their agonized screaming. What I want from Trump and Republican control of both houses is follow-through:

1. Impose election security measures so we can't be frauded again.

2. Abolition of every federal firearms law and regulation, including the disbandment of the ATF. We must restore the proper Constitutional order in which the government is frightened of the people, not the reverse.

3. Massive cuts in the reach and power of the administrative state. No unelected bureaucrat should ever have the power to effectively make law.

4. A concerted and conscious attempt to drive the Communists and Communist tools out from everywhere that they have burrowed into our institutions, perhaps starting with the complete defunding of any educational institution that harbors academic Marxists.

Yes, I know, many of these people don't know they're Communist tools. I'm past caring. I've been ready to throw them out of helicopters with my own hands since about 2014, hoping against hope that something would happen to make that kind of violence unnecessary.

Now, maybe, we have a path to defeating them peacefully. I'm not sure Trump fully understands this necessity himself, but there are people close to him - notably Elon Musk and Ron Paul - who I'm pretty sure do.

The first thing we need to do is be able to name the enemy. Conservatives have been cowards about this ever since the Army-McCarthy hearings a few years before I was born. They became afraid to speak about or explicitly oppose Communist infiltration, and we have been paying an increasing price for that cowardice through my entire lifetime.

Conservatives? MAGA people? If you really want to make America great again, make defeat of the Gramscians your cause. Name the enemy. Expose them. Defeat them. They have crippled, divided, and corrupted us for far too long. It's time to take our country back.


Some friends wanted to bet on Polymarket for the #elections but the network (Polygon) is congested.

So funny when you read their comments about wrapped USDC on Avalanche for Polygon 😅

But it would be nice to have a prediction market on #Bitcoin lightning network. There wouldn't be congestion.

I often have to double tap on zaps. The first one usually doesn't work. But the second one does.

It slows down the process, which feels time consuming on Amethyst, waiting for the wheel to load.

Is it because the app isn't running the first time? And it needs to start or something?

I've finally started the migration from Authy to Aegis!

It took me ages to get started. But now it'll also take some time to migrate all 2FAs...

I'm doing them all manually. Because the import manager didn't work (phone not rooted).

Progress: 12%.

First impressions with Aegis are good. I like the interface and the settings are clear. I set up the local and cloud backup of my encrypted vault. So, it feels safe enough.

I also decided to save the recovery codes of each platform, that I should have done a long time ago!

Onwards!

WHY WE NEED FREEDOMTECH EMBASSY IN BRUSSELS NOW

With many voices at nostr:npub1rwh33t5x8n7czknhts5fg0v0fml8mkl7neaarksumkkf8d679qrqcz7avv in #Amsterdam expressing very correct assessments of the discriminatory policy approach in the #EU against Bitcoin and now following the proposed by the European Central Bank analysts, I want to recall two important aspects:

🔴 First, well known: the #ECB states explicitly by saying their main goal is to “disincentivise investment in Bitcoin mining”. ECB frame it as "a climate risk priced into crypto-assets", in fact attacking PoW and Bitcoin mining. https://www.ecb.europa.eu/press/financial-stability-publications/macroprudential-bulletin/html/ecb.mpbu202207_3~d9614ea8e6.en.html

🔴Now for the lesser known, but most important to assess the risks of their latest so-called analyses - the EU's drafting of a regulation to expand the European Central Bank's supervisory powers over crypto-assets, which potentially gives the ECB endless power to attack #Bitcoin and implement its discriminatory regulatory proposals.

This information was re-confirmed in August 2024 by the European Parliament's Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs (ECON). https://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes/STUD/2024/755728/IPOL_STU(2024)755728_EN.pdf

🟡 From the ECON’s study we know that:

🔻 Since 2022, key topics discussed by the ECB with policymakers are (1) the ECB's banking supervision programme on the importance of the role of banks in the transition to a digitalised and carbon-neutral economy; (2) response for the emerging risks from the crypto sector and non-financial banking institutions; (3) the energy crisis;

🔻  ECB is increasingly consulted on future regulatory priorities, and on its stance regarding new legislation that is being negotiated with the Commission and the Council;

🔻  ECB response focusses on banks’ ESG risks which it considers a threat for banks and financial stability overall, therefore having made it a supervisory priority;

🔻  ECB mentions that it assesses, jointly with European Banking Authority (EBA), whether ESG risks should be reflected in regulatory capital requirements.

And these attacks continue and in parallel echo in developing Bitcoin mining ban in Norway, Iceland, discriminative taxation in Italy and Netherlands, classification self-hosted wallets p2p transactions as high risk transactions in the AML Regulation and by the biggest political groups in German Bundestag, development AML Authority supervision with particular focus on crowdfunding companies and crypto-asset service providers (CASPs), implementation of MiCA regulation by Denmark with attempt to classify mob apps like self-hosted wallets as “interface providers”, discussion of the categorisation of lighting as a “money transmitter”...

🟢What we can do together:

🔻Join Open Dialogue Foundation to establish a #FreedomTech embassy in Brussels. Let's bring together expertise and resources to develop a safe regulatory environment in the European Single Market for Bitcoin miners, investors, developers and end-users.

🔻Let’s systematically protect our FreedomTech and educate policymakers, media, academia. Let’s say loudly about wrong approach of ECB on Bitcoin and Bitcoin mining specifically.

The U.S. bitcoiners have made Bitcoin protection a reality and continue to do so.  💪🧡

We should and can do it in the EU as well.

I haven't been posting, but still lurking. And reporting #replyguy - there are so many...


Tonight, #Netflix said I'd enjoy Inside Job. Curious, I watched the trailer, and pressed play.

It's about the global financial meltdown that took place in Fall 2008. And it presents the elements that led to the collapse. Plus, it identifies keys financial and political players.

As usual, it's revolting seeing central bankers, bankers, and politicians collude. Everyone getting bailed out, with no responsibility whatsoever. And then the people pay the price.

As a bitcoiner, I know most of it, but it doesn't make it easier to swallow.

Until the end, I was waiting for #Bitcoin to be mentioned. But it didn't happen. Then, I checked the year it was released: 2010. No wonder.

What would be interesting is an update of this documentary, with what we bow know about Bitcoin.

It would give it a much more hopeful ending. And let people know that they now have a way to make banks and governements pay for their mistakes.

Fuck them all. Burn that corrupted system to the ground.

Also, the notes aren't created to make me angry, or to invite negative feedback. They're not click-baity.

And there's no FUCKING ads!!!

So, I like this Nostr experience. It feels more organic and genuine.

Yesterday, I listened to the last episode of What Bitcoin Did.

Good one, fun to listen to: https://fountain.fm/episode/S7hb3aMjbXMYsbHpIDNl

I've never met Peter, but I've been listening to him for years.

And I'm gonna miss his episodes on my daily walks. Because chances are I'm not going to tune in for topics or guest I'm not familiar with or interested in.

Anyway, best luck with the new show (and the club, and the bar, and the mayor elections, and whatever else) nostr:nprofile1qqs2auxkkgfgylem580xrztp8ek5sf83s86k0vfq2feuz6y4lkhskgcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0lxprea and thanks for the value you created, and the good times!

I've been trying to add a private home relay to #amethyst but it's removed every time I close the app.

It's the relay from my Start9 node, with the local extension for when I'm home.

Am I doing something wrong?

You recommended Mistborn a while back. I finished book 1 yesterday. Starting book 2 today.

Entertaining so far. And I like the universe. Just a bit hard to identify with Vin, and the romance.

On one hand, it's counter productive to antagonize a tribe. But on the other hand, this tribe can use another client, and still enjoy Nostr.

Yes, it was. Best of the trilogy, or on par with #1.


Yesterday, I watched God Bless Bitcoin in the living room.

My 8-year old managed to watch about 5 minutes and gave up.

My wife was in the same room, but busy, and didn't pay attention for about half the movie. Then she said: are you trying to brain wash me? She ended up on the couch, and started commented on every interviewee like:

https://image.nostr.build/6476b631f38c800cff0492a7d9ee2e73f3696be6f2a7d2cfcedaac83a476cb1f.jpg

So, it wasn't a real success...

While I enjoyed the spiritual comments, I don't think Bitcoin should be a religion. There are always gate keepers in a religion. And interpretations can lead to horrible takes, even pure evil.

At some points, it really felt Bitcoin was a cult. It's not. It's just open money for the world.

Next step, I'd like my parents to watch it. But I'm not sure this will resonate with them, for reasons mentioned above. I can't send them the link, or they'll ignore it, or simply forget. So, I'll have a watch party when they visit.

How do you list notes like this? When I try, I end up with a URL...


It's a feature, not a bug.


I'm excited to announce the first release of NWS, a resilient connectivity solution that leverages NOSTR as a transport for TCP. NWS enables seamless communication between devices without public IP addresses. Below are the key features introduced in this release:

- **Exit Node Internet Relay:** Exit nodes can relay public internet traffic, allowing entry nodes to access the internet using the exit node's outgoing IP address.

- **.nostr Domain Support:** NWS now supports `.nostr` domains, which are valid RFC 1035 domains. This feature ensures compatibility with most existing clients.

- **Reverse TCP Connect Mode:** We've added a reverse TCP connect mode where the exit node initiates a TCP connection to the public entry node upon receiving a request. This mode utilizes NOSTR for service discovery while forwarding data packets through the reverse connection, enhancing connectivity and reducing load on public NOSTR relays.

This is just the beginning. With many more features and enhancements on our roadmap, we are excited about the future of NWS and its potential. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to develop NWS.

Amethyst on phone. Primal on web.


I listen to a lot of podcasts during my daily walks, always trying to keep an open mind. Usually, I hop from one to the next, getting a ton of value and new ideas.

But I've been ruminating over The Bitcoin Standard Podcast episode 230 with Arnaud Bertrand for over a month now.

This episode really rubbed me the wrong way.

It even made me watch nostr:nprofile1qqsq52wnak9tu2uu7r0zk2xqla03zrk9ac7z4j9j4lf7zcws3s5jeygpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhscnmvgl 's reaction, just to make sure I wasn't losing my mind!

It's clear that Arnaud is a communist - and I'm still baffled why that ideology gets a free pass in France (unlike fascism, which is rightly condemned). He's all about central planning, essentially saying "govern me harder, daddy." He's got his rose-tinted glasses firmly on.

He raised so many red flags (pun intended) over 2 hours, without much pushback from Saifedean. It was tough to listen to.

Arnaud's bias was so strong that I almost didn't get any value from his talk.

The one decent point he made was about why people are fed up with Western politicians. He said there's a disconnect between what governments do and what people want them to do. And that's spot on.

But Saifedean's performance didn't help. He was gunning for the USA over their stance on Israel and Palestine. I get why he's passionate about it, but trying to paint China as a better alternative to the US was a bad move.

Let's be real - both governments are evil. Period.

I expected Saifedean to be more objective, but he wasn't.

This reads weird. The #lightning transaction limit is denominated in fiat...

Their communication should be adapted to the technology they're working on, not to some government token. It doesn't make sense.

Launched 9 hours ago, and my new #bitcoin node is 41.82% synced 😲

I remember I needed days, maybe a week with my Raspberry Pi!


Lies (marketing).


I may have found a way with Start9. As it was my favorite node software, I tried again.

After flashing, I installed it selecting my internal drive.

Then, I removed the USB drive, and did the initial setup. And I selected my external drive to store data.

Looks like I got what I wanted!


Save costs. I have the external hard drive I was using with my Raspberry Pi node.


I have a Dell 3070 micro.


Thanks for your input. It's too bad.

Seems like 2 drives should be the standard. Basically like on a Raspberry Pi. OS on a drive, apps or time chain on another.


My internal drive is too small.


I installed 3 node software today: Start9, Mynode, and Umbrel.

And none of them allow the use of an external drive for bitcoin 🤔

Actually, maybe they do with the command line, but nothing supported out of the box.

It seems when you use a PC instead of a Raspberry Pi, things get harder.

But I need to use an external drive...

Any recommendations?

Up until a few months back, I thought I was like you: spent most of my time in front of a screen for work, had played a few games, but didn't feel like a gamer anymore.

Then, my best friend told me Witcher 3 was amazing. I had bought it, but never played it, because of the reasons above. So, I gave it a try.

And man was I wrong...

The first weekend, without the wife and kid home, I played 8 hours a day. And I'm happy to progress after work. Not every day, but several times a week.

Maybe you're like me: you need to find a game you like. And you'll be a gamer again.

Having worked with copywriters for years, I think most AI submissions are better than human ones. There's less fluff, less off-topic, and it's more logical.

However, I agree that it's hard as a reader to consider AI submissions seriously.

A good content editor with AI can make wonders, though.

Since the events in Venezuela started, I have seen 3 videos of people getting killed, dying.

This is the kind of media that should be marked as sensitive content, and hidden until I say I want to watch them.

On July 4, Phoenix Wallet announced BOLT12 support.

As soon as I saw it, I wanted my own vanity address 😅

So, I bought a domain, and I thought about offering a service like twelve.cash.

But it's a bit too complicated with my skillset, for now - and I have other projects I'm working on.

Anyway, I still set up my own BOLT12 address: fren@senzap.com

And it was relatively easy:
1. Buy the domain name
2. Enable DNSSEC
3. Create a TXT record with:
- Name = username.user._bitcoin-payment
- Content = bitcoin:?lno=bolt12offer
4. Wait for it to propagate

I used https://twelve.cash/search to make sure it's correct. It seems it is, but I haven't tried receiving any zap yet.

So, feel free to send some zaps to try it out!

Cheers.

I finished reading the Witcher this week. I enjoyed it, but didn't really get the last book...

The story culminated in the book 7, so it's weird "getting back to normal."

I watched the series on Netflix before reading the books, because I didn't even know there were books. I thought it was from a video game...

I'd recommend not watching the series before reading the books. It spoils everything. Characters are different and the story is, too. Better to use your imagination in the first place.

Anyway, I'll get back to reading it in a while. It's not at the level of GOT, but it deserves a reread, I think.

Oh, funny story, because I watched the series, I couldn't get used to Dandelion. So, I replaced all the occurrences by Jaskier before the end of book 1... Took me a while!

ตลาดทุ่งม่วง

Bitcoin has not yet been designated as legal tender in Thailand, but Bitcoin can be used to pay for goods/services. Only for entrepreneurs, service providers, and individuals who voluntarily accept payments with Bitcoin.

For example, Thai people use this hashtag to buy and sell there products/services >> #ตลาดทุ่งม่วง

And you can check the stores in Thailand that accept bitcoin at this website >>

Ps. Thailand is going to have a big bitcoin event in Bangkok named #TBC2024 in the next few months. (Mid-September 2024) If interested, details can be found here >>

Nostr serves as the credible backup plan for when governments seize or ban X.


THE MONEY IS IN THE NOSTR!

👉 Create a new npub AND DOING NOTHING ELSE, no WoS, no nostr-wallet-connect pairing,... NOTHING

☑ receive zaps
☑ send zaps
☑ and most importantly ACCESS MY WALLET FROM ANY CLIENT ON ANY DEVICE

these zaps are verifiable, way faster -- they are immediate (since the sending of the ecash is the zap, instead of waiting for a LN node to, maybe, publish a zap receipt)

Just like our contact lists follows us around, just like our profile data and our shitposts pops up in any nostr application, now so does our sats.

I just realized I've been stacking sats with Fountain 😊

I accumulated 60 satoshis, so far.

My goal was to leave Spotify. But I'll take free #bitcoin any day!


For the "bit" fans, I added a tool to my site: https://bitcointosatoshi.com/btc-to-bit/

Simple and efficient.

#bitcoin #bitcointool #bitcoincalculator


I didn't think I'd ever say that, but I think using bits would work better than sats.

With bits, you get the "usual" price format, like 1.99. Plus 1 BTC = 1,000,000 bits.


I filled out a quick survey, and got free #bitcoin - thanks for the 5,000 sats Atomic Finance! I'll take good care of them. Or maybe zap them 😅


Paraphrasing Peter: "Mainstream media (and the ruling class), influenced by Ivy League views, see the public as dangerously unruly, justifying heavy government control.

This outlook clashes with democratic ideals, where power should lie with the people, not just the elite."

nostr may not have a million daily active users, but that's okay as we lower our time preference and look forward. we're not building for today to compete against existing platforms that exist today. we're building for tomorrow. we're building to better the world of tomorrow.

this takes time and our mission is sound. building a protocol that enables users to have a portable digital social identity that users can take with them between various applications is incredibly powerful and this makes the use cases for nostr near endless.

this is why i always remain bullish on nostr. this is why 18 months later, im still fascinated and in love with this movement.

Little by little, I'm moving away from big corps.

When switching from Evernote to Notesnook, it was 100% painless. I'd say I even got a better product.

But it's not always the case...

I'm now trying to switch from:
- Spotify to Fountain for podcasts
- ChatGPT to Venice for AI (mostly for work)

And I'm having a hard time.

Fountain isn't bad, but sevral small things make the transition painful. It's not much, but I have to force myself not to get back to Spotify.

Venice is another story. I paid for 1 year. And it's so limited. Many things I can't achieve with that platform. And when I can, it required more steps to get there. Basically, I HAVE TO use ChatGPT for my requirements...


Looks really good! Do we have this media upload settings on Amethyst? I don't remember seeing it.


Thanks for raising awareness. I followed your recommendations.

This week, I switched from Spotify to Fountain to listen to podcasts.

The app works fine on Android. But I'm wondering if the audio quality is the same.

I was listening to SLP583, and I thought the audio wasn't as good as I'm used to. I even had to turn up the volume to be able to listen while walking.

I couldn't find info with a Google search. So, I want to #AskNostr


Not impressed by Venice so far 😅

I need more steps to get the same result. And sometimes, I can't even get the same result...

We've arguably never had a chart that tells such an important story about Bitcoin mining and emissions.

This new chart, the result of 12 months research from the Digital Assets Research Institute (DARI) says: “Over 4 years, Bitcoin price and hashrate quadrupled, but emissions didn't grow", effectively ending the speculation that Bitcoin emissions will rise unsustainably in the future as the network expands.

Anyway, gm.


Wow just figured out Bitmain's latest fuckery in real time.

I'll give you the back story...

Once upon a time Bitmain was grinding merkle roots instead of nonces aka "covert ASICBOOST".

This gave them an advantage over other miners who didn't know this was possible. One company went out of business - KNC - citing "the Chinese having some secret advantage we don't know about" - which turned out to be true precisely for this reason.

It's one of the reasons ASIC manufacture is so centralized today and this is correctly identified by many as being one of the most vulnerable aspects of the entire bitcoin ecosystem.

The ASICBOOST issue came to a head when Bitmain used their influence to block the activation of SEGWIT (essential for Lightning) because it would break their ability to do it - at least covertly. Well, they would still be able to use asicboost, but just in an obvious way that would mean everyone else could do it too. They had patented it so as to try and prevent this because that's the kind of people we're dealing with here but I digress...

When asicboost was independently discovered by Greg Maxwell Bitmain lied and said they weren't in fact using it.

This was after years of bullshitting about segwit, with Bitmain pretending to be in favour of "alternative scaling solutions" or even doing segwit as a hard fork instead which would allow them to continue what they were doing.....

Absolutely nobody believed them thanks to GMax having reverse engineered one of their ASICs and demonstrating what they had built and tried to keep to themselves.

This was a watershed moment in the fork wars where everyone suddenly understood why Bitmain had been making nonsensical arguments against segwit forever. Wanting big/small blocks wasn't a related discussion. Segwit fixed TX malleability and was a no-brainer upgrade and in the end was combined with a block size increase anyway as a compromise.

So we proceeded with segwit anyway, at which point Bitmain switched to overt asicboost which is actually even more powerful, it just requires grinding version bits instead of merkle roots but it's obvious if a miner is doing this.

Now everybody does it so essentially the net effect of it being possible is zero, except your node asking you wtf miners are doing signalling for upgrades your node knows nothing about (upgrade coordination is what version bits are actually supposed to be used for).

Oh well, relatively little harm done. If you're happy to ignore the obvious dishonesty and effort to undermine what's arguably Bitcoin's most important ever upgrade.

Fun extra tidbit: Antbleed - an intentional backdoor with which Bitmain could remotely shutdown any Antminer in the world. They said it was for shutting down stolen ASICs but immediately patched it once it was discovered.

Anyway, this company now accounts for 25-30% of all blocks found, if you naively observe the blockchain.

That's not enough to spook anyone, but unfortunately many smaller pools are in fact just fronts for Bitmain which we know for three reasons:

1. The smaller pools are clearly using blocks constructed by, or for the benefit of, Antpool.

2. They share the same custodian of their newly mined coins (Cobo).

3. They have a lending program to bail out smaller pools who get in over their head due to FPPS.

And the trend is sadly in the wrong direction, given Braiins recently abandoning its old payout model and becoming just a simple proxy for Bitmain as result of switching to FPPS.

[Massive shoutout to @mononautical and @0xB10C for helping uncover how centralized pools have become. Those are their Tweeter handles, idk if they're on Nostr.]

Summary - Bitmain is not just Antpool, it probably accounts for >50% of block templates and manufactures >90% of the mining hardware in the world.

So where am I going with all this?

Amazingly, it's about empty blocks.

What does that have to do with anything?

Well, famously OCEAN has found 3 empty blocks in its short existence, causing many to wrongly make allegations of some sort of issue with the pool itself.

This spurred on endless debate about why pools make empty templates in the first place and the actual reason so many of them get solved.

In short, pools send empty templates then immediately follow up with full templates. So quickly, that the interim period accounts for a tiny minority of the empty blocks that get found on the network, and none of ours.

In all three cases with OCEAN, the miner solved the empty block long after already having a full template to work on -

   - leaving the pool in a position to either throw away a perfectly good (but empty) block or to broadcast it to the network and get miners >90% of the reward of a full block. Obviously the latter makes sense and does zero harm to the network while still adding to the overall PoW necessary for any attacker.

So why would an empty block happen a few seconds after the pool had already sent an updated job for a full block?

Because Antminers suck.

*What we didn't realize was that they intentionally sucked.*

You can send an updated job to an Antminer and watch it continue to work on an old job for over 60 seconds in edge cases.

This was something we assumed was due to design of the ASIC itself, and thus just poor engineering on the part of Bitmain.

But it turns out we were wrong, it's due to Antminer firmware.

We know this because they just released a fix for it.

So Bitmain watched, while people kept mining empty blocks, everyone would wrongly attribute it to pools, while explainers on popular websites like mempool(.)space would offer wrong explanations about it happening due to pools being slow to send proper templates and seemingly no one would understand even the motivation for sending empty templates, let alone the reason they get worked on for so long.

But the fix being something that gets released right after OCEAN starts explaining what's really going on here is beyond reasonable doubt.

They had a fix for it, and have been using that fix for their own mining.

Now they can't get away with it because increasingly people are realizing that Whatsminers and ASICs from other manufacturers aren't finding anything like the amount of empty blocks because they switch jobs far more quickly.

An Antminer has a far greater likelihood of finding an empty block because it spends longer working on old jobs.

We've been out here yelling that the issue is with the ASIC *NOT* the pool.

The fact that Bitmain intentionally crippled the firmware on the Antminers they would sell to the world, while keeping more functional units for their own mining is typical of everything Bitmain.

Sure it can be incompetence and coincidental timing on the fix, but I sincerely doubt it.

The conversation around empty blocks reached the point where people were beginning to realize something was broken with Antminers and then they just happen to release a fix for it right after people finally start catching wind of what's really going on.

__________________

So imagine this -

You sell shovels to gold miners, and as we all know, the people who make money during a gold rush are the people who sell the shovels.

But in this case the shovel seller is digging for gold himself too.

And he has intentionally sold crappy shovels to all of his customers so as give himself an advantage.

Empty blocks kept happening, people kept blaming pools.

OCEAN got attacked over it. We explained the real reason they happen so much, and Bitmain releases a fix right after.

Insane.

This goes further than empty blocks.

It's not just empty templates that take forever to work their way out of an Antminer, it's *all templates* and pools are constantly updating work as new transactions show up.

A super lucrative transaction shows up in your mempool?

All other pools are sending an updated job to hundreds of thousands of Antminers who will ignore it for a while, while Antpool has their miners working on it more quickly.

It's not hard to see the motivation for all this, especially going forward as TX fees become more and more important.

Again, insane.

LFG!


The separation of money and state should not be seen as a radical or fringe idea.

But it is.

In the U.S. everyone has to play by the rules of a balanced budget (hell, even the individual states!) or face dire consequences.

All we’re asking is that the state do the same and we have a neutral, solid money.

This shouldn’t be a partisan issue. Just a practical, good idea!

Now, try setting up a new Twitter account... I had to, for work. And they make you jump through so many hoops. You even have to pay for your own SMS verification now!


I've been using nostr:npub1vr2nva0s0hhfulthjy8053rg9kruk5erzwaxdw85gjwkfytj994sgudzvx for a couple of days.

Landed in Copenhague and it automatically connected to the cheapest provider. It was faster to connect than my Thai SIM. And the quality was acceptable. Good for calls. A bit slow for video calls.

Arrived in France, and similar experience.

I blocked Amethyst, and have used about 50 cents of data for calls.

TBH, great experience so far. Highly recommended for travelers.


Back to France for a few weeks. Damn it's cold. And the service is still shitty. I wonder how everyone puts up with it. Free market isn't working here. It hasn't for a while.

Same in Thailand 😎


Looks like I was able to get this working again, sort of. It says I'm connected to 9-11 relays, but only shows that I have 100 followers (and even Jack only about 40, so it has to be a data gap), and very few notes on timelines (with obvious gaps even for hugely active accounts). Relay.damus.io never seems to pass me any data (0kb both up and down) to me, which j assume is due to my connection coming via Tor, but honestly I don't know. I'm connecting using Amethyst, if anybody sees this and has any ideas—what's the best, biggest relay for Tor users right now?

Secondly, and most importantly for anyone who sees this note, please make some noise to try and stop the passage of RISAA (the FISA 702 reauthorization) that's about to hit law as soon as this Friday. Please read about it and push it out on all of your socials, if you agree it's a problem. It's going to be hard to stop this thing, even with all hands.

Whoever sees this, thank you for hearing me. https://image.nostr.build/b5731965f417b631e9ea74c27ce4d5f9bb91f9e2a96fefb1547146266ab89fb5.jpg

I don't see it. I mean: we can't find anything on Nostr yet. From my experience with Amethyst. And results don't pop up in search engines results. I wonder how people will be able to find content.


Yeah, Nostr is hungry. That just reminded me to check my package, and I got a deal to get more GB for the same price. Noice.


I remember, I was there!


That'd be nice. I miss being able to quite easily.


After all these years, I still wonder.

It landed on Netflix last month, and I rewatched it.

These 3 shells remain a mystery.


Over time, it should naturally happen, I'd say. Nostr is still small.


The first post I read with #dans I legit thought it was a typo for #danes 🇩🇰

A bit like we have #siamstr you know.

My first thought was something happened in Denmark and Nostr is being flooded with Danes 😅

Anyway, I'm team #bens

That was one of the first issue a friend mentioned when I told him about Nostr. And I didn't have an answer for it. If relays are spammed with illegal images, what do we do?


I like the fact she didn't mention bitcoin. Thanks to that, I can share it with friends who'd ban me if I said the word bitcoin in the chat 🤣

Yesterday, I got 2 zaps (thanks). One of them arrived on my Alby wallet. And the second one on my Minibits wallet.

So, I think my info isn't propagated the same on all relays.

I'm trying to fix this today. And I'm using a piece of advice from nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 - he recommended to add this relay: wss://nostr.mutinywallet.com and then update my status.

I just did. Does it work? #asknostr

I don't think Russia needed help from the US to behave as it has. Over the last 100 years, it's been a threat to its own population, and its neighboring countries. No matter the hand played by the US, I think it would have kept behaving the same way.

When #Nostr gains widespread acceptance, we won't need tools like Buffer, Hoot Suite, or Sprout Social anymore.

1 protocol to rule them all.


You were a big reason of this shift. Keep up the good work!


Why nostr:
- You own your identity
- Your speech stands on its own
- You can run your own everything
- You own and control your social graph
- You are free to say and do anything, but you are not free from consequences (non-repudiation of cryptographic signatures)
- You can proof realness via proof-of-work, either directly or indirectly
- Proof-of-work is what allows you to successfully combat bots, spam, and trolls, as it brings real cost to destructive actions
- Ownership and realness allows you to build and curate webs of trust, which allows for canonicality without central authority


They're not "the people" anymore. And they don't even represent "the people" either.

They think these rules won't apply to them.

I'm into fiction, too.


I don't usually watch the news. But I did this morning. And it was about the Russian "elections."

I find it very hard to watch the way they present these "elections" when they're just a joke, as everyone knows.

Why even pretend?

It's a dictator who rigged another event. There's no meaning at all for anyone. It doesn't matter he got over 87% of "votes."

We shouldn't even broadcast his propaganda speech. We shouldn't give him a tribune to speak to.

Anyway, I'm not going to watch the news tomorrow.


Often, I see posts that infuriate me. Even when curating my feed tightly. Fortunately, it doesn't happen here. Or less often.

Robert Sterling: "This is the scariest chart I’ve ever made. This is what it looks like when a country is heading toward a financial precipice.
 https://image.nostr.build/ce5570be648a356615820da35e6fd5bca5c43293d24d22f86d2d780a59d387b9.jpg

Each color shows $1T getting added to the national debt.

Not that long ago, it took six years to add a bar.

We’re now adding one every 90-120 days.

The explosion of debt has been the only bipartisan phenomenon of my lifetime. For us conservatives, we can’t blame it on just Biden and Obama. For you Democrats, you can’t put this on just Trump. It’s both parties, all presidents, and every Congress.

The acceleration started under George W. Bush. Bush went into 2002 with less than $6T of debt. Thanks to GWOT military spending and tax cuts we probably couldn’t afford, $6T grew to $7T in 23 months, $8T in another 21 months, and $9T in 23 months.

Then the Great Recession hit. We added the next trillion in 13 months, crossing $10T for the first time in American history. And we haven’t looked back since.

During the second Obama term, with spending reined in by the Tea Party movement, annual deficits reduced to less than $1T, and growth in the debt slowed down. At the end of Obama’s tenure, it took nearly 20 months to go from $19T to $20T.

That would be the last time it took a full year to add a trillion dollars to the debt.

In 2017, a real-estate developer got inaugurated as president. And, if there’s one thing we all know—and love!—about real-estate investors, it’s that they understand the value of leverage.

Under Trump, even as the economy surged, deficits grew, and national debt once again spiraled. We ended 2019 with a little over $24T in debt.

Then Covid hit, along with consumer stimulus, PPP loans, massive government spending, and reduced tax receipts. Over just two months in 2020—April and May—we added $2T to the national debt. Ever since, we’ve been adding $1T every 160 or so days.

With Biden in the White House and a narrowly divided Congress, we’re now adding $1T to the debt every three to four months. It took just 91 days to go from $32T to $33T. 104 days to get to $34T.

And it’s not slowing down. Biden has another 300+ days in office this term. When he or Trump enters their second respective term in office in 2025, the debt will likely be above $37T.

Where does it end? As deficits continue to pile up and borrowing costs remain relatively high compared to where they were over the previous 20 years, how is any of this sustainable?"

The only thing I didn't expect was the sats to be sent to my Alby wallet, and not my Minibits wallet.

I'm not sure how these 2 are connected, though, as I don't use Alby as Nip05 verification, or LN address...


It would be best if it split and send the zaps automatically. Now, you need a lot of clicks.

I sent money to Minibits. And I zapped you with it.

Question: Is that ecash or bitcoin lightning? I'm not sure...


Hey, thanks for the reply.

FYI when I installed the app, there weren't any default relays. I set up a couple, but it didn't work.

Then, I did as you recommended with the npub. And it added 4 relays that connected. It seems to be working now.

Maybe that should be part of the onboarding process?

Anyway, now I'm set up. And I even bought my vanity address 😎


Story time!

Last Saturday night, I was cooking before watching The Lord of the Rings, with my son.

But I dropped a bowl from the plate dryer (less than 10 cm). And it exploded on my finger when I tried to catch it.

Blood splat over the kitchen, in a Tarantino-esque manner. And it was pouring from the wound.

Anyway, I rushed to the hospital and got 6 stitches.

That's not really interesting in itself, but it made me realize:
1. How fast accidents happen.
2. Accidents happen at any time - they're really accidental...
3. You need a stack of fiat to help your relatives deal with the costs. If your #bitcoin is in cold storage, it won't help. At least not these days in Thailand.
4. I need an inheritance plan for my coins...


I haven't shared price screenshots much, yet. Only to my wife 🤣

Nothing changed in altcoin land. They still don't see the difference with #bitcoin - they just want more fiat, no matter the manner.

I can't get to set up nostr:npub1kvaln6tm0re4d99q9e4ma788wpvnw0jzkz595cljtfgwhldd75xsj9tkzv to use my own Nostr address... It says profile not found. It gets a 404.

And I'm not sure if it's connecting to the relays I added. It always says connected: 0.

No idea how to fix this.

Thanks for shining a light on him. That's someone who shouldn't be in this position. It hurts the people. Anyway, I really need to de-Google my life.


You should verify your account with your website. I did it and it's not that complicated.


I saw several broken verifications with the accounts I follow scrolling #nostr with #amethyst (the red stop sign in the Nostr address).

Especially people using nostrverified.com who didn't update their Nostr address when the service closed. But not only.

And it made me think that the verification isn't great when using a service like this. Because anyone can do it, using your name. So, how could you trust it?

And I've already felt that when looking for accounts to follow. Basically, I only follow accounts that:

- Have posted their npub on Twitter

- Have people I follow interacted with

So, the NIP05 doesn't look so efficient. At least this way. So, I tried to verify myself with my website. And it worked! I'm really me now 😅


Keep doing the good work!

We're discussing valentine's day with my wife. Because I told her I found her a gift today - I didn't even plan to, we don't really celebrate.

She complained that I didn't give her enough time to prepare.

So, I told her she could send me some #bitcoin (I send her some each month). Like a last minute present.

She said No!!!

I guess she understands the value of bitcoin now...


Reminds me of https://sphinx.chat/


Just bought a second hand Dell Optiplex 7050 Micro i5-7600T. Because I gave up on my Rpi 4...

Next week, I'll play with Start OS. Or maybe reinstall MyNode.

I just want a reliable #bitcoin node.


Notre Fan, after seeing your Bane cosplay.


Now, all you need is a cat.

Yeah, I tried several times. But they enjoy the game. And they're grown-ups. So, they'll deal with the consequences!

Also, they trade for more fiat, so they're usually happy with their earnings.


We still get bitcoin fomo!


Argh! Some of my friends are starting to accumulate shitcoins again... They're rotating to alts, because that's where the money is, they say.

I've done that in the past. And it's exciting seeing new tickers, thinking about the moon bags, etc.

But I'm focused on #bitcoin now.

I may leave some short term gains on the table. And miss some fun with my friends. But I don't want to play that game anymore, especially with money I could spend on BTC.

Also, setting up Metamask for new networks and tokens isn't appealing at all. Same with following prices...

I've heard all the marketing around altcoins in 2017. And it's the same thing all over. It's tiring.

So, here's to separating money and state, growing the use of fuck you money, and having an optimistic view of the world 🥂


Did you do your push-ups?


"Apple is not a pioneer of anything these days except accommodating communist regimes."

Hitting hard nostr:npub1arkn0xxxll4llgy9qxkrncn3vc4l69s0dz8ef3zadykcwe7ax3dqrrh43w!


Very hard to see who said what in your mockup.


Following more people than on Twitter, but having fewer posts to read.

Not being able to search.


Yesterday, I consolidated utxos. It cost me 100 USD. But I saved about 50 USD compared to what the cost was a few days ago.


So, nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm is down.

And the Nostree URL doesn't work with the lightning address.

Fortunately, the Nostree URL works with the npub address.


I have to consolidate utxos, got 100 inputs with less than 500,000 sats over the years. So, I'm going to try https://txfees.watch/ to try and save on the fees.

Because right now, they're over 150 USD... Ouch.


That is so cool.

## Problem Description
This isn't a real problem, but its gets the point across.

## Acceptance Criteria
Just apply and I'll pay you.

## Additional Information
STAY HUMBLE AND STACK SATS


Privacy is a human right. Don't let them psyops you.


I was blocking the accounts, but now I'm reporting the ads. Not sure what's more efficient.

Happy new year everyone! Here's to health, freedom, and logic. We will win.


Need a NIPman.


C'est super ça ! Bon courage pour l'organisation.


If you can smell the stench, then you're standing close to a bitcoiner. And you should take the orange pill.


Merry Christmas Nostr! 🎄🎅🎁
