My 1 year anniversary on #nostr

Can't load the feed there... I refreshed the page and got 1 ad. Nothing else 😂


We're not here.


I'll join! Not a dev, but a regular user. Always good to see what's happening. I enjoyed #NostrAsia


Well, that was me trying Primal with another account. Nothing to see here.


Wow, it was hard finding my private key... and stressful, TBH.

I was looking for the account tab on Primal, but it was in my Alby extension. All good, now.

進捗！どうですか！！！！！

Paris. Both in France and in Texas.


Is that even a real pokemon?


One of our favorites with my sister. Hope it will be good...


As planned, wasted 6.5 hours of my life to please the government.

Dealing with the administration is always a nightmare. 🙄


Are these Nfts? Feels the same to me. Bought to be sold for fiat.


I feel you. I had the same feeling a few weeks back. I had to stop reading the creature of jekyll island... I get the picture, don't need to always be reminded of it. We have hope now. Onwards.


Yeah, don't think they're idiots. I mean, these people are our colleagues, friend, even family. They're just lazy and fearful.


Remember that #bitcoin is for everyone. And that there are bitcoiner thieves... Unfortunately.

I hope you'll get it back.


gm

After the Three Body trilogy, I just read Orwell's Animal Farm started yesterday evening... Still as relevant as ever.

Beware of the pigs!


I'm here for it.


My bad, thanks for the price update.


gm

Time to get working!


Followed by Marty (not on Nostr?), nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx, nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z, and nostr:npub1r8l06leee9kjlam0slmky7h8j9zme9ca32erypgqtyu6t2gnhshs3jx5dk. Thanks everyone for the knowledge!


Top 8% nostr:npub14mcddvsjsflnhgw7vxykz0ndfqj0rq04v7cjq5nnc95ftld0pv3shcfrlx - you got quality episodes!

Okay, looks like #bitcoin podcasts are my thing.

I'm glad we can see how the situation will evolve in #Argentina with Milei. And it gives me hope for all the other people who will see what else is possible in their own country. But it almost makes me want to get involved in politics again - which I definitely don't want to. It's too nerve wracking. And I'd rather spend time learning about money, and #Bitcoin tbh. So, I'm rooting for the most entertaining outcome.


My plan for tonight. Can't wait.

Great tweet from Daniel Batten on X - 3 not if he's on Nostr yet:

"Pride

You have been asleep if you have not noticed it: this year the narrative about Bitcoin and the environment has changed.

Utterly.

Scientific papers, industry reports, news reports, new data and inspiring stories pour in, with ever increasing volume, intensity and validity, showing what the Bitcoin mining industry has been saying for some time:

Bitcoin drives renewable innovation and makes it more profitable; scavenges the stranded energy and reduces emissions; and helps some of the poorest, most disenfranchised in the world to gain sovereignty, dignity and freedom.

Here's why this matters: pride.

Not a boastful pride, but the pride of one whose thoughts and actions are directed with understanding and awareness to a cause bigger than themselves.

Last year I met Bitcoiners who told me in an embarrassed way they were into Bitcoin, but felt guilty about its environmental impact.

I met people who were reluctant to say they wanted to do their thesis on Bitcoin.

I met people in NGOs too timid to ask that they accept Bitcoin payments.

I met people too resigned to challenge an ESG Investment Committee's objections to Bitcoin.

I no longer hear this.

Bitcoiners are no longer a thermometer for society's views on Bitcoin - calibrating what others think and fitting in.

Now they are a thermostat. They are standing tall in their conviction of its benefit, using data to change people's minds, hearing people's misconceptions and  declaring why and how Bitcoin helps people and the planet.

They are speaking with pride, challenging with confidence, creating the future through action.

When a legacy NGO attempted to use the "skull of satoshi" to malign Bitcoin, Bitcoiners love-bombed the artist, embraced his art, and armed him with facts to the extent he tweeted "a change in the code is not the answer"

When the NYTimes attacked Bitcoin, a whole colony of honeybadgers picked apart a journalistic travesty using a non-violent weapon more powerful than any the NYTimes had at their disposal: truth.

When Marathon was attacked in "The Hill" for greenwash, Marathon responded with calm, non-boastful pride, pointing out the neglected truth that they were on target for zero emissions, leading innovation into heat recycling, and had just started an exciting foray into the emission negative territory of landfill-gas powered mining.

Nietzsche once said "What does not kill me makes me stronger". He might have been talking about Bitcoin. Every time an attack is launched, new silent Bitcoiners become activist Bitcoiners.

But it is a non-violent revolution.

Now when people say "Bitcoin is destroying the planet" - Bitcoiners are saying: "I'm sorry, you must have read some old or bad data. Things have changed a lot this year"

They are saying "This is something I've looked into. Would you like to hear?"

They are saying "Nothing could be further from the truth. Bitcoin is the Best environmental asset of our time"

No longer defensive.
No longer apologetic.
No longer incredulous.

But fuelled by the unstoppable twin-forces of fact and pride.

This year I have talked to hundreds of Bitcoiners who now respond with pride when challenged.

And it is having an impact.

They are turning around the false-narrative of their environmentally minded friends, their spouses, their investment committees, their NGOs.

There is much work to be done, and the legacy politicians and environmental organisations will continue to sing out of tune as the world turns, casting them increasingly into the shadows of history.

This shift did not happen because of the Blackrock ETF. This happened because a grassroots movement stood up and fought for what they believed in

@Dennis_Porter_ , with a budget 1/50 the size of the opponents has pro-Bitcoin bills in front of 10 states.

@thetrocro has been tirelessly turning around Journalists, artists, leaders, environmentalists with data, patience and the conviction of a man who stands for something that advances all humanity.

Onchain analysts such as @woonomic have gotten behind the shift and fought FUD with fact, conjecture with chart, reactiveness with research.

And there were many many others.

Just 18 months ago I was told on twitter "you are the most insane person on earth" for suggesting Bitcoin was environmentally net positive.

Our attackers are no longer saying this.

As Steve Jobs once said "Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently...You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward."

Every person who has gone down the rabbit hole of Bitcoin knows this anthem describes their journey.

One thing that we may come to appreciate in a few more blocks time is the reason it is irrepressible is found not just in the brilliance of the algorithm, but in the spirit of its supporters:

the builders, the miners, the philosophers, the journalists, the politicians, the men and women, liberals and conservative, the affluent and the not-yet-affluent from every corner of the world who are behind it.

Bitcoin is not just a technology, or an asset, or a form of currency or money: it is a movement.

You are part of that movement.

Be proud.

We are all Satoshi."

Huge red flag.


I used to go there once a year. Should be fun. Enjoy!


Silicon valley is cheering for yet to be released "GPT store" (AI agents marketplace) While we already have several open AI agents marketplace on Nostr.

https://vendata.io/
https://tasktiger.io/
https://chat.plebai.com/

Nostr AI agent marketplace is based off NIP-90, it is open and there it is not controlled by one company and uses lightning micro payments.

Don't let "GPT store" become another App store and strangle around our neck..!

Please repost this for visibility and spread the word to your friends and family...!

I like the name, very three body.


You go first.


Humbly stacking sats


I prefer beer :)

Remember, remember, the fifth of November.

We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be caught. He can be killed and forgotten. But four hundred years later an idea can continue changing the world.

I got an alien. But my son got the cat!


Made by my son at #NostrAsia and paid for with sats, of course! #ProofOfDiorama

I miss the fingerprint reader at the back of my phone... It was so convenient. I find myself looking for it every time I want to unlock my new smartphone...


Just loaded some sats on my Phoenix wallet for #NostrAsia LFG


Nice https://nostrasia.notion.site/NostrAsia-Tokyo-Agenda-257609cf726c49339422f4dd02aa3049


Finally redeemed my tickets to #nostrasia


Ok, next level: Added a shortcut on my home. No space for Twitter...


Just reinstalled Amethyst on my new phone. And haven't even logged into Twitter. This is the way.


Why not offer starter packs during key creation? A curated list of accounts to follow for different niches. It would allow Nostr not to feel empty. And maybe help against impersonating scams.


That it does. Been there, done that...


Today, my son git his yellow belt in Tae Kwon do. Proud of him!


Sat. 21st of October. Nice.


I'm at 70% of the book one. I had a hard time getting in, especially at the beginning - it didn't feel like sci-fi. And the names are hard to remember when you're not used to it.


Next on my list.


What. A. Nightmare. World.


The only way to know that the #Bitcoin you bought really exists is to withdraw from the exchange or service to your own wallet.


One protocol to rule all the clients. It was fairly easy to on-board. And the usage is similar to Twitter (I'm no power user).


Does this mean you can post in the past? It feels wrong at first sight.


Don’t need to tell people who are on Nostr already but…

Freedom of speech is being restricted on the base of lies and propaganda.

Without privacy we’ll be living in a panopticon. A prison constantly watched by authorities. A horrible future.

Yesterday, I showed a friend a zap on Amethyst. He didn't know lightning and Nostr. He was impressed, and said he'd look into it. #orangepill #purplepill


Is there a schedule yet?


Still brainstorming on this one. Could involve lightning, bitcoin, web development, maybe liquid, and maybe AI. I like it. But I can't handle all of this by myself! I may need to find partners and investors.


What's with the aliens? I can't get my head around it...


You want safety? You want security? You don't look for someone else. You look inside. Because when you give away personal responsibility, you give away power.

J. Jonah Jameson


Interesting, but there's no free trial yet. Also, is their a profit calculator? I tried Braiins, but the minimum duration is 6 months.


The redesign is better.


Just had an idea for a #bitcoin project! A real one, with a platform, and that needs on-chain and lightning payments. I need to study a bit, but I'm happy I thought about it.


Just started my son in Tuttle Twins yesterday. I can't wait for him to reach the bitcoin episode!


From 179 THB to 229 THB here in Thailand...


As it should be.


Well said. I enjoyed reading it.


Nice, I was waiting for this! Sats sent.

nostr is similar to bitcoin in that we do not need to convince people to use it

they will realize they need a censorship resistant communication protocol eventually

just need to have the tools and education ready for them when they do


A 250K sat bounty was just posted for BTCPay server to implement NIP-57 Zaps.

https://github.com/btcpayserver/btcpayserver/discussions/4642#discussioncomment-5057698


I didn't have my public key handy, so I didn't comment. But I'm here!


Last Saturday, I showed a friend Phoenix wallet. I made him download the wallet and sent some sats. He was impressed - he didn't it existed and he's been investing in "crypto' since 2017... We're so early.


It's addictive!


Thanks, but I'm thinking about using my own domain for that. I just joined, and I need to understand better the point of the verification and how it works. I'll get back to you when I made up my mind.


Yes, I'm good now. And I saw the difference: When using Abby, I need to sign all my messages.


Yeah, it felt weird to do that, TBH. I'm using Alby, but the first time, it said that my private key was empty, and I couldn't sign messages - that's why I put my private key. But then I logged out, and it seems I can log in again using only Alby's pub key. Thanks.


Trying to figure this out!


I had to put my private key in astral.ninja. Is that normal?
