Forcing amber would be annoying. I like the idea of an [export nsec to amber] button in settings somewhere. Normie's are becoming familiar with enabling 2fa and if presented in a similar manner, I think it would be a reasonable cognitive leap.

How to spread nostr:

Add nostr features into FOSS software, one at a time. Eg. “Share via nostr”

This will help tap into existing communities in FOSS and purple pilling devs. Show them how they can benefit from nostr by tapping into the network effect


If it isn't able to comply with your command, their censorship is more obvious and the tool doesn't look as capable. Its kills the magic.

You can also run orbot and set it up as a tor service. Then set it as your DM inbox so you can self-host private DMs. Keeps the events off public relays.


Skimmed the runes specification, and it looks like they only have x blocks to mint new runes after a new 'coin' is established, until they reach the issuance cap.


GM ☕ clever coffee there


IRS allows First In, First Out; Last In, First Out; and Highest In, First Out. Make sure you apply the same method to every sale transaction. HIFO let's you count the sale price against the highest paid cost, which minimizes your gains for any given transaction, but may affect whether the sale is taxed at the long-term or short-term rate.

Make sure to DYOR. I'm no professional, just sharing my experience.


In the case of random, small buys, you could keep it all on one exchange so you have a record of price, date, and amount all in one place. There are privacy sacrifices with this, but it keeps the accounting relatively clean. You would still have to track the zaps, gifts, etc.

There are platforms like koinly.io (not an endorsement or recommendation, DYOR) which can pull data from your exchange account(s) and the blockchain. But in my experience they have some manual adjustments required. And it still doesn't account for lightning txns.


I don't know if there's a tool to keep track of all the small buys. If you buy from a KYC onramp they should at least keep a record of your transactions and make it available at tax time. For zaps, etc. you would have to check the value at the time received and keep a record. Again, I don't know of any wallet or service that does this. The decision to report or not is left to personal convictions and applicable tax code.

The USD price is not recorded on chain, but you could use the block timestamp to look up the historical price at that time. It wouldn't be exactly what you paid, though.


All debt is high time preference. But one can attempt to game the system by borrowing against their stack.

To buy a median priced ($412k) home, you would have to sell ~6.15 BTC to own it free and clear. You could DCA the $2000/mo payment to repurchase your corn over 206 months (17.17 years), assuming your average cost stays <= $67000.

Or you could get a 50% LTV loan against that 6.15 BTC @ $67000 ($206025) and pay $1262/month on the home loan. You would also be paying $1262/month on the bitcoin loan (assuming same rate and duration as mortgage, which is a big stretch). However, as bitcoin price goes up, you can reclaim some of your collateral corn from the loan or pay off the mortgage with the increased value.

If the price doubles, you can withdraw 3.075 BTC and sell it pay off both the mortgage and the bitcoin loan, or sell some of the corn each month to make payments on both loans, essentially a ₿CA(?) into your house. The remaining collateralized bitcoin would be "repurchased" from your lender at $67000/BTC + interest premium, which is still a 49% discount to the new price.

Personally, its probably not worth the trouble. Just take out a regular mortgage (or business loan) and cut some corn each month to make the payments. If you still get paid in fiat, you have flexibility to cash flow the payment if there's a significant drawdown.

The WordPress drama and concerns over private equity vs. #FOSS got me thinking and I'd like to #asknostr :

Would it be possible for someone to release a super-polished client (let's call it twittstr) that protected every note with DRM (on top of protocol signatures and encryption) so that users could only read the note if they pay 12000sats/month for access to protected notes?

12000 sats would also give them a dedicated relay, media server, caching service, nip-05, and lightning address. Solve a few more WoT and discovery problems, and it lowers the bar a great deal for non-technical users.

Obviously nostriches could simply ignore the walled garden. But what if the client (and it's VCs) were able to on-board a significant portion of current social media users?


Job board and local feeds would be excellent complimentary features.


I had to call them when I closed mine. I don't recall the reason, but that made me dislike them even more.

If you are the CEO of a family, here are some questions to ask yourself:

If your bank account or credit card suddenly stopped working, could you feed your family next week?

If your tap water stopped running could you access clean water?

If a thief entered your property would you have the physical confidence and ability to defend your family?

If they were armed, do you have a weapon to defend yourself?

If it was winter and the energy grid went down, could you keep your family warm next week?

If search engines and freely available AI were riddled with lies, propaganda and censorship of truth do you have a library of books that contain truthful timeless wisdom that your family can learn from?

If cell towers go down, do you have a backup method of communicating with others? Do you have an analog radio?

If shit got very chaotic, do you have 5 people you could call and rely on for support?

As a father, I think of these questions often. Worth a ponder

#Nasdaq stocks  ( $QQQ ) in the US have absolutely crushed it relative to most other equities over the past five years, rising a whopping +158% in US dollar terms!

However, they have actually decreased -55% in real (neutral energy money) terms over that same time period.

Understand that how you measure your life is extremely important and relevant for a better future.

False weights, measures, and money--like government fiat currencies--give you a distorted and misleading picture.

I'm not certain I got the math right, but here's the chart. I indexed M2 at 01/01/2009 and BTC price starting at 10/12/2010 (5050 BTC sold for $5.02 or $0.00099/BTC). Besides the initial price, there are no prices for 11/2010 - 06/2014 because I'm lazy and couldn't find easily usable data. https://image.nostr.build/50f743e03891681756a8e506a4ed7491eeb1552678bb54a8201f3c5c630c215c.jpg

It'd be interesting to see the BTC price adjusted for M2 supply.


Also, other npubs reposting your note (finding value in it) would keep it alive in the network. Or am I mistaken about the repost mechanism?


What about pay-per-post with free replies? This would ideally cover costs without creating a barrier to discussion. Though it could incentivise bad reply behavior to circumvent the payment. It could also proxy zaps for reposts and quotes, in regard to surfacing "valuable" notes.


It would be nice to have an in-client resource for picking relays. Even opening a relay list in an in-app browser with a way to import relays to client settings. And better relay descriptors so users can make informed decisions about which relays to pick without having to know someone who can recommend relay(s).

Correlation is not causation. I don't have data, but for sake of argument, you could say we experienced all the growth and progress despite fiat money. Imagine how much more advanced western civilization could be if we maintained a hard money standard for the last 100 years. If we hadn't experienced a century of capital misallocation incentiveised by fiat currency, what would global society look like today?
I might be wrong, but it bears considering.


UK Protests

For years, the government has allowed, in lockstep with big business, the influx of an unsustainable number of migrants to such an extent that they have no idea of the numbers involved. The Office of National Statistics thinks the population will increase by 6.6 million (9.9%) between 2021 and 2036. The British people are proud of the many cultures that make up our nation, but the levels are far beyond what is feasible for a country to assimilate, and our own culture is being lost. The cause of the immigration, as I see it, is a flawed Ponzi scheme economy that needs an ever-increasing (cheap) workforce to pay the debts of the previous generation (and dependents on our state).

We have hotels that are full of migrants, with food provided, an allowance given, and medical and healthcare services provided. Yet, they remove the winter fuel allowance for our older generation, amongst other cuts and unresolved homelessness. We see boatloads of migrants, primarily fighting-age men. We see hotels that are full of fighting-age men. We are told they are fleeing persecution, but where are the women, and why are they not staying to protect their country?

The outcome of these policies affects, for example:

Housing: The government has a target of 1.5 million houses to be built by 2029, yet in 2023-2024 only 143,000 houses were built. Already, houses are everywhere, rammed up together, with people living on top of each other, peering into each other's gardens, and sprawling into our countryside (such as in the small village I live in, which is having 10,000 houses built on its doorstep). With supply and demand, house prices are unaffordable to the next generation (our children).

Healthcare: Our healthcare system can no longer cope. If you want a doctor's appointment, you have to wait weeks or go private. I've been waiting since December last year for an ultrasound scan. They send me texts asking if I still want the appointment and if I don't respond, they cancel it.

Transport: The roads are deteriorating—they are congested and full. From personal experience, I've spent thousands repairing suspension damage from potholes. Similarly, the airports are way past capacity, according to my travel experience.

Crime: Sexual assaults on women have doubled for children aged 13 or over since 2013. Knife crime is also up significantly over that period. Our most recent headline crimes are perceived as caused by a group in our society who do not share our values and culture—that group being (presumably) extremist Muslims.

Yet simultaneously, they inflate the money supply, causing prices to rise and devaluing their citizens' savings. They also increase taxes and provide an education system that indoctrinates our children.

The most recent attack in Southport was by Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, who ran into a dance class of children and stabbed and murdered three young girls aged 7 or so, with others critically injured. The press was slow to clarify who committed the atrocity, which I think exacerbated the situation. Axel is aged 17 and is a child of immigrant parents from Rwanda. I don't think his family are Muslim, by the way.

So, yes, people are angry—very angry—and rightfully so. It takes a lot for the British public to protest. They have been betrayed by a government that doesn't listen to them, does not control immigration, and now labels it as "far-right thuggery." They are not far-right; they are working class (of all colours).

There is a two-tier policing system that lets one group run around with knives and machetes and protects Antifa. Yet when the working class protests, they turn up in riot gear, with dogs, and charge them down, inciting violence. In response, the government declares how they will increase the use of facial recognition and come down hard on anyone involved (including online), but there is no mention of how they will resolve the issues that have caused this outrage.

The most recent protests have been against the hotels profiting from the migrant situation. I hope that innocent people are not harmed and that the anger is directed towards the government that is complicit in causing this, not on our fellow mankind.

That said, I don't have live TV, and I am fortunate to live outside of the large towns where the protests are being held (generally up north, in Labour [left] voting towns, interestingly). I respect others' opinions, as it's difficult to see the whole picture from any one viewpoint. One thing is for sure: if the government continues not to listen and indeed acts against the working class, this won't stop here.

Higher grade coffee is uniform. All the beans are in good condition and the same size.


I just put together a browser-based tool for splitting and reassembling eCash for sending over the Meshtastic mesh network. It's super handy for breaking down large eCash tokens into smaller messages without losing track of the order. Each message is capped at 150 characters, making it perfect for mesh networks.

The Meshtastic app isn't great for copying message content at the moment so its a little hacky but its better than nothing I think.

🔹 eCash Text Splitter: Easily chop up your eCash into manageable chunks, each with a sequence number and a hash for verification.

🔹 eCash Text Reassembler: Put those chunks back together and check the hash to make sure everything's in order.

🌐 Check it out: https://ecash-text-splitter.netlify.app/

⚠ Heads up:
- This hasn't been tested extensively yet. Make sure to back up your full eCash token before you start splitting it.
- Needs more thorough testing, so any feedback is appreciated!

GitHub repo is linked on the site if you want to dive into the code or contribute. Let's make eCash transactions easier! 🚀💸

Huge Microsoft Outage leads to Global Closed Businesses

Banks, Airlines, Businesses Worldwide Shut Down.

London Stock Exchange’s news service was down.
In the US, many 911 and non-emergency call centers weren’t working properly.
Many television channels around the world have been hit by the outage, with Sky News in the UK broadcasting from a phone after its studio equipment failed.
The Paris Olympics organizing committee also said it had been hit by the outage, but that it had contingency plans in place.
In Europe, Amsterdam Schiphol Airport—one of the continent’s biggest connecting hubs—was shut to all arrivals due to the issues, according to Eurocontrol, Europe’s air-traffic-control agency. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines said it had suspended most of its operations.

This story not only shows the horrible dangers of Microsoft’s operating system, but also proprietary software that constantly and unnecessarily monitors systems that otherwise could be offline.  CrowdStrike is a corrupt pro-Democrat firm that supposedly does cybersecurity.  And it’s their software going down has caused Microsoft operating systems globally to have the blue screen of death.  Thousands of airlines globally have delayed flights, and millions of people are being inconvenienced.

CrowdStrike’s bloated proprietary software is morally corrupt and forced upon workers.  The software monitors all activity on a computer, even when offline actions are performed such as copying a file.  Then this data is all sent back to CrowdStrike to be monitored for their supposed security purposes.

But what is never discussed is that CrowdStrike now has complete surveillance over all documents in organizations that could have otherwise been kept offline, and is now a centralized point of failure for incidents exactly like this.  Further, it’s a massive invasion of privacy for employees, and is often pushed on them for all their devices.

CrowdStrike’s invasive software is difficult to remove, and hijacks the system at the OS-level.  It’s not something employees can just toggle on and off.  While as if employees were just using Linux and end-to-end encrypted communication systems, this would not only save companies money, but has a more reliable track record for reducing security inncidents.

CrowdStrike is famous for lying about Wikileaks.  Even though they had no special knowledge, these supposed experts mouthed off malicious lies that Wikileaks was a hack, and not leak.  Their goal was to create trust in Hillary Clinton, which they failed to do because they provided zero proof.

Between Microsoft and CrowdStrike, they have invaded all corporate computers with surveillance of all OFFLINE activity, that has now brought corporations globally to a screeching halt.  Now is a great time to switch over to Linux, using our rich educational resources.

👀 We've been making washing machines and dishwashers for decades, and they've become very efficient.


Why not just go with P2P?


Made me think of warrant canary.


Blockstream, I assume? Don't the satellites just broadcast blocks? We need a parallel internet next.


It'll just be the Coinbase® Network. Then Blackrock can tokenize assets and we'll have ETH-TFs. Shitcoin Inception.


Too low for Bitcoin p2p connections? Yes. But I was suggesting sending a Tx over a mesh with a flag (e.g. btc:'tx hex'). When a mesh node receives the flagged message, it could check to see if it has an internet connection (LTE on paired device) and if so, use this to broadcast the tx to the Bitcoin network. Use case might be too spefic and limited to warrant development though.


I believe it is because most mobile wallets connect to someone else's public (centralized) node to broadcast transactions. That node can therefore see all your transactions.

It is not as useful if you run your own node and your mobile wallet connects back to it, but more useful as a default option for mobile wallets rather than connecting to a public node to broadcast.

It could probably also be used for projects like #meshtastic to broadcast transactions sent on the mesh to the Bitcoin network via any reachable mesh devices with an internet connection.

GM SIR ☕ You're dong invaluable work to advance freedom.


This. I'm on my 2nd phone since 2013.


🤜🤛
I get paid just after the pump 🎉😮💨. Mostly clockwork.


GM☕, fascinating info.

Odell and OpenSats say they support freedom of speech. Make them put their money where their mouth is (literally) and feel free to criticize openly. If they pull funding, it proves they are hipocrites, if not, they are likely honest actors. High risk for grantees, but high reward for the community either way.

I want to #zap you 2,100 Sats!

Good morning #nostr! It has been about a month since I joined and I'm loving "Self-Soverign Social".

My challenge has been connecting with like minded folks, which is surprising because if we are both here on nostr we likley share at least an interest in decentralization and #bitcoin.

So I want to try a little experiment this morning. I have just under 500,000 sats or about $350 in my  nostr:npub1flm9yc3vhc3dj036pn3ysl5xwd4f5gyhyjnn9rzehs5mqe9y9ynq6qrg9q account, I want you to help me empty it!

Please follow me (if you are not already) and share this post and I'll zap you 2,100 sats until I run out or have to leave the office. It's about 8:45AM EDT, and I'll be zappin' until at least 3PM (or until I'm broke).

In theory this should yield about 235 paid engaugements, which will hopefully amplify my presance here and help me connect with some like minded folks.

Lets see how it works out, I'll share my results!

Bitcoin companies can make donations to OpenSats to pay devs and get a tax writeoff...?


What is your definition of an "economic node"? It sounds like you are saying full nodes operated by people who don't use bitcoin (the asset) don't enforce consensus.


We could just nossify. Then we won't need devs to fund. 🤪 #teamsaylor


Features, not bugs.

This is not the halving you are looking for.


Interested as well. They seem like the best option as from everything I have gathered.


What does he mean by hold? I have some litecoin dust and I still have the keys somewhere. I must be a 90%er...

Would the sat "postage" go to the recipent or relay? I think it would also benefit from a bridge to legacy email with a mechanism to add the postage on inbound mail. Maybe LNURL in the header? Outbound messages could include return postage for real conversations that you want a reply to.


Is there a way to mute all *@nostrich.house addresses? #asknostr


GM. I paid taxes, I want all the spending data.


THAT SOUNDS TOO MUCH LIKE BITCOIN UX 🤣
Although, we are here, aren't we?


170 (5'7") -> 400(13'1")?! Why?


GM☕


I get that the problem lies in transferring the heat from the asic to the fridge generator. For discussion sake, couldn't you use an S9 Hydro (or any other Hydro model) and route the hot water from the S9 to a heat exchanger on the generator of the fridge. According to Wikipedia the fridges operate around 14-16 bar, which puts the vapor point for ammonia around 97-106°F, according the P/T chart. If I'm not mistaken, it would simply be a matter of adjusting the flow rate of the S9 water circulator to ensure it was heated to at least few degrees above that point.


What about the halflinging?

https://m.primal.net/HrmW.png


I have the same problem on Android.


What temperature is required to drive the cooling cycle?
Based a quick search, it seems that fridges require 100-200 BTU per ft³, and an S9 puts out ~5000 BTU. Given the fridge numbers are correct, an S9 should be sufficient. You would probably have to hydro cool it to efficiently transfer enough heat.
It would be necessary to determine whether or not the water could be heated to the required temp.
I've seen some commercial chillers that can run as low as 158°F (70°C). Different scale, but it might be possible.


That did it.


Reminds me of this:
https://youtu.be/izxXGuVL21o?si=hqys-otUmfyUHEqX


YES. Zap failed for some reason.


I like the water heater idea. Would probably look to do this eventually.

Unfortunately for the absorption chiller idea, I have only been able to find RV fridges and commercial chillers. Residential hasn't embraced the tech yet.


GM and happy Friday ☕


Has anyone attempted running an absorption cooler (like an RV refrigerator) off waste heat from a bitcoin miner?

How does one find what relays others are using? I'm not seeing notes from some of my follows and I want to eliminate that as the problem.
#asknostr


Zapless polls would be a nice feature.  I don't see fiat for services being a viable option because the infrastructural overhead required to accept fiat payments. Perhaps if clients or wallets included options to buy sats on lightning we could improve the onboarding UX for normies.

I believe Primal uses Strike on the back-end of the built-in wallet. If that is correct, couldn't the option to purchase sats via debit card be a relatively straightforward add?


Why haven't I heard of Liana? This looks promising.

As I understand it, whomever holds a monopoly can artificially lower prices (operating at break-even, or even a loss) in order drive out new competitors who can't afford to sell that low.

In a hyperbcoinized future, MicroStrategy could offer it's services for free by drawing from its practically bottomless treasury. After the competition has been driven out of the market, prices can return to normal, or higher, to recover the losses.


GM ☕ Looking forward to listening to it


GM ☕ It's a beautiful day to stack sats.


REPOST THIS IF YOU’RE BULLISH AF. LEAVE A COMMENT ON WHY YOU’RE BULLISH FOR AN UNDISCLOSED AMOUNT OF SATS.


I'm bullish because Bitcoin can't be manipulated by the state.

I would venture it is the exchanges themselves in order to manage liquidity/preserve the fractional reserve.


For clarification: if a note is edited,will the new version be pushed to all clients? Or will some clients show the original note, some show the updated note without history, and other show the current plus history?


There is definitely a use case for "announcement"-type notes. It would be apparent if someone was trying to harass via edits to notes and replies which are part of a conversation. And the fact that not all clients support edits should dissuade trolls because the target may not even be aware of the attempted troll. The incentives don't align to support trolling, IMO.


Eight decimal places. Every sat is significant.

Great advice! I often find myself doing the negative here: trying to eliminate a bad habit or behavior (and failing) rather than focusing on the new habit or behavior I want to replace it with.


This judge seems based (on this issue). Need more like him.

Great summary of a proposed BIP to reduce the infrastructure/overhead required to coordinate payments, particularly over lightning. https://bitcoinmagazine.com/technical/using-dns-to-coordinate-bitcoin-payments?utm_source=carrot&utm_medium=partner&utm_campaign=carrot_share

Phoenix wallet is self custodial lightning and on chain. You open a lightning channel with either a lightning or on chain deposit and can splice in/out funds on chain.
Fee table:

https://m.primal.net/HgIo.png


CashApp has similar functionality but with fees.


It's working with reduced functionality. It will add apostrophes and fix some mistakes, but doesn't seem as robust as with predictive/suggestions enabled.


I disabled suggestions and it seems to have fixed it. I left auto-correct on and haven't had any issues so far.


That makes sense. Did you turn off autocorrect as well?


Amethyst crashes when I try to mention.

I have the backspace issue on both Amethyst and Primal using Openboard, but not with Samsung keyboard 🤮 or Unexpected Keyboard.


Same here. Both on Amethyst and Primal. Going to test some other keyboards.


I've had this problem as well.
Using Openboard.


As a left-of-curve pleb who isn't familiar with the parties in the discussion, I find the non-specific nature of theariard's accusation  against the mentioned PRs unconvincing. However, the issue of backchannel merges is still concerning. Its the same as transactions bypassing the mempool.


npub1mhamq6nj9egex0xn0e8vmvctrpj0ychehddadsketjlwl3eg7ztqrv9a4h , can I get a nostr address?

On my journey to figure how nostr works and integrates with lightning.  How do I change the default/random lightning address assigned when I use Primal wallet? It looks as though I can just edit it in my profile, but that doesn't update the receive address in the wallet.

I'm having trouble. In general. But I am curious how block 831484 can have a timestamp 27 seconds later than block 831485.

Makes me think that if you wanted to eliminate an affordable source of protein, afflicting folks with peanut allergies isn't a bad idea.


I heard on a space today that the best way to get a PR merged in core is to campaign for it, so this is me starting a campaign for a listmempooltransactions RPC

my rationale for this is that it’ll let you more easily scan the mempool for new transactions that have arrived (since the last time you scanned it)

this is a massive improvement imo for usability of mempool data for apps that want to know about newly arrived txs to their node

there currently is no RPC for quickly fetching out new outputs created in the mempool or inputs spent.

to do this currently you’d have to call getrawmempool, which returns a list of all txids currently in the mempool and then call getrawtransaction on every returned entry. this is painful and unnecessary

I also implemented a feature into a branch CLN using it that would let you scan for interesting unconfirmed txs, to demonstrate its immediate usefulness. more details in the open PR!

Brave browser works well. With shitcoins turned off. However, I don't do any dev work, so I can't speak to that functionality.

Thanks for writing this. I was just considering what services and method would be best to earn in bitcoin at my fiat job.
