You absolutely are right.

But on a serious note, don’t accumulate sleep debt. I regret doing that.

What is more impressive than the over supply chain attack is the utter stupidity of hezbollah.

How the hell does an organization like that deploy thousands of copies of a device without a precautionary teardown and basic security checks? This kind of attack is not new. Google yahya ayyash.

Regarding hardware signing devices, maybe we should separate the selection and storage of private keys, reducing the risk by orders of magnitude.


Discernment and humility.

Half of the problem is our own fault, as Dunning & Kruger have shown.


In the last 200 years, the average human brain has done 250 years worth of smartening up.

Meanwhile influence technology has evolved something like 50,000 years equivalent of its historical rate.

We are sitting ducks.

I’ve never forgotten this article from a professional society magazine.

You do advocacy for personal freedom, and are on your own payroll.


Fair point, but the reality has fundamentally changed due to the technological breakthrough. No option but to get used to the new sound money faster than the speed of commerce.

I like “listener”


“Re-imagining” is not the best term to use. “Uncensorable” or “sovereign” perhaps?


The most epic way to fail in life is to not have kids when you have the ability to do so.


Something I’m rather firm on is that if you have the ability to make children and you do not. You are in 99.99% if circumstances making a gigantic mistake.

Children make life worth living.

Children provide instant meaning to life.

They inspire planning and care about the future.

They increase joy.

They make life novel and exciting again.

They’re innovative, surprising and imaginative.

They reflexively shape us as we attempt to shape them into better versions of themselves/ourselves.

If you have children and they have children you will be increasingly surrounded by life as you grow old.

If you do not, you will be surrounded by death as everyone you know slowly dies.

You will never regret having kids.

You will certainly regret not having them.

If you have kids you are honoring the sacrifice and suffering your ancestors had to endure by passing the torch forward.

If you do not you are dishonoring them by wasting your life on the meaningless pursuit of your own pleasure.

These are very strongly held immutable beliefs for me.

Stratum V2 decentralizes pool’s power to miners, makes the network much more censorship resistant. It does so by allowing miners to create block templates instead of centralized block template creation by pool admin.


DEMAND Launches The First Stratum V2 Bitcoin Mining Pool

“With Stratum V2 and our new solo mining pool, we aim to make home mining more attractive, which should in effect help decentralize the Bitcoin mining ecosystem and improve the health of the Bitcoin network overall.”

Happy Thanksgiving!


FinCEN’s proposal to outlaw all crypto privacy is a huge overreach. They apply a section of the Patriot Act on a “class of transactions” in a new precedent. Doesn’t matter if it’s custodial or noncustodial- merely using certain type of code can be an illegal act.

People are caught by the potential spot ETF, meanwhile this is proposed. Now they fight you.

(And by implication less incentive to be attractive)


Birth rates are about survival. Easier survival = less incentive to reproduce.


Unfortunately the fiat mindset is too ingrained. It’s gonna take a generation to learn these lessons.


The downward spiral is sad to watch.

Savagely wise.  ⚡


We can’t significantly force a once-in-5000-years phenomenon. Necessity is the mother of adoption, and it is a function of the evolution of fiat. Things are heading in the right direction and they’re likely to accelerate in the not to far future


Necessity is the mother of adoption. It’s building up slowly, with punctuating jolts here and there.

THE BONE ZONE!


Go ahead and open one to Strangelove. If you need inbound sats let me know how much you’d like and I’ll open when I get to the node physically.


This is important for all using browser extensions for managing key to understand the exposure clearly.

“Most Nostr signer brwoser extensions currently require access to data from all sites you visit. Depending on your privacy setup, you may want to use a separate browser or a new browser profile for everything Nostr related with no other extensions installed.”

note155y207s5hscgfpmn0tudzatp2h8kz4yr4eju886cgk4rzzmw8n9qe5xgnm


We are not too far from a rogue app stealing private keys.  And the media will FUD it to max effect. Devs and leaders should try to get ahead of this almost guaranteed scenario.


Not your box, not your instance.

Not in your physical possession, not your box.


Yes, and then moving on to hardware devices because your data, communications and social media identity are valuable despite not being money.

Eventually people will want hardware signing devices for private key security.


There is a lower traffic one with some of the devs in it: t.me/nostrtalk


It would be so epic! Maybe I should offer a bounty for it.


Medium’s user demographic probably overlaps Mastodon’s quite a bit already.


Given the much less restrictive firehose, nostr traffic is going to be a great opportunity for innovative aggregation.


Great artwork!


This is the flippening that matters and is going to happen.


i offered dmnyc 100 sats to give me ownership of the url to 2008.jpeg on nostr.build where he timed posting a pic of the whitepaper. i flipped it for 200 sats rajwinder. rajwinder flipped it for 300 sats… then it got wild.


You’re leaving out the part where we simulated an entire market cycle including a blow-off top and a crash in one night. https://nostr.build/i/2334.png


* with small liquidity


Nothing except your main Lightning node on one box.

Nostr relay, secondary LN node (with liquidity) and other apps on a different box.


Lightning node and Nostr relay should ideally run on separate VMs. Raspberry Piis not sufficient hardware for it.

You’re the NostrYoda.


Tied to your App Store account. One slot gets the app for all your phones and iPads AFAIK.


Says he’s working on Damus for Android


We're talking Nostr over on the "other bird app". https://twitter.com/i/spaces/1jMJgLnRdPAxL


Umbrel is open source but yes it’ll be good to see others grow too.


Indeed


Yeah, this is hypothetically what differentiates Nostr from mail servers. Switching mail providers has the high cost that you lose your identity and have to start over, and so mail providers have a lot of sway over users. As it stands relays have no sway over users or their identity. You can jump ship to another relay whenever you see fit, so that’s promising


millions of dollars wasted on building ‘twitter killers’ that have their own token and ‘use blockchain’ then nostr rolls into town and proves they were all just bullshit vc money grabs


Haha thanks KP. Finally good to bring the personal account over!
