I added a meetup to flockstr the other day and it showed up in this calender I totally forgot about setting up. How would I share the calwnder on my website? Nothing crazy, I just need to know how to format the anchor tag.


If you're an iOS user, you can still use Nostr Calendar and NostrNet Note app separately. Both work with your extension.

No longer can the strategy be to build network effects and then monetize the monopoly power. Now, businesses will need to make revenues as a function of the value they provide to a user. If they create value for a user, they will be able to capture a small portion of that value in the form of revenue.

What do you mean by, "integrate with existing websites?”

Something like WordPress plugins or using legacy social media API's?


Your mission, should you choose to accept, is to make sure that the governmental powers that wish to censor independent media voices in order to enhance the power of their propaganda fail miserably until they give up such a foolhearty and misguided pursuit.

This task cannot be achieved just by building nostr software. You must also actively debunk government propaganda and actively spread such debunkings.

I've heard enough about bitcoin for two lifetimes. What I am hoping to see more of are the information fires that burn down the ill-begotten agendas of governments.

Nostr adoption will skyrocket as the message gets out to the masses that we are calling out all the shit, and that this uncensored place is where they can  reliably find those callouts.

At least that is how I see it.  I know we aren't ready for masses, and so we also need to focus on nostr itself.

When did Bitcoiners start giving a damn about banks?

"The root problem with conventional currency is all the trust that's required to make it work. The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust. Banks must be trusted to hold our money and transfer it electronically, but they lend it out in waves of credit bubbles with barely a fraction in reserve. We have to trust them with our privacy, trust them not to let identity thieves drain our accounts. Their massive overhead costs make micropayments impossible."

Satoshi Nakamoto


I'm excited about this one.


"
We must continue to educate clients on other options for Bitcoin purchasing, including peer-to-peer options. That said, many clients looking to achieve sizable positions in Bitcoin will not be able to get to size using peer-to-peer exchanges. We must recognize that peer-to-peer exchanges are already regulated by FinCEN, just with very light enforcement. While we recommend Bisq (https://swanbitcoin.com/choose-bitcoin/) as a peer-to-peer option, we expect some headwinds here, especially if FinCEN starts pressing on sellers to enforce the same requirements as banks, as it has been since 2019."

Bisq allows you to sell USD paper money for botcoin over the mail.

Sell that stuff. It's the currency used for more crimes than anything else.

🚨 Today I'm launching Ontolo. 🚀

Ontolo is a super simple micro-app that will hopefully entice everyone spend a bit of time labeling other Nostr events. NIP-32, if you're not familiar, allows anyone to label/review/comment on any nostr post. It's an insanely powerful concept (thanks nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn, who wrote the NIP), but it's still pretty underused in clients.

Why would you want to have labeled events?

1. Discovery: Labeled events can be used directly by social clients–like nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 or nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg when trying to suggest content that users might like.
2. Training data: We're at the gates of the era of AI. Classification algorithms and machine learning have been pretty good to classifying content but with a training dataset they can become WAAAAAY better. Hopefully, labels in Nostr will become a public good that all clients can lean on to create their own AI models for discovery, onboarding, and a hundred other things I've not thought of.

This is an experiment, like all of them, so please hit me with your feedback. Expect more fun social features soon. 🫂 LFG!

Thanks to everyone who helped me think through this over the last few days, from Tokyo until now.

Highlighter.com is a nostr microapp that allows users to quote text from an article on Medium, Substack, random WordPress blog, Github, habla.news or just about any form of text you can find on the Inter Tubes. The quote shows up as a nostr event, like this. These quotes get shares on other nostr apps like Amethyst. You can also:

*   Add the npub of an author

*   Get zapped for your curation.

*   Set up prisms that split the zaps between you and the author.

!![highlighter.com](https://i.nostr.build/3ogk.png)This micro app is another Pablo7z creation, the most prolific nostr developer in the world. Tony jas written an article about it before here, but there's a new update I am excited about: subscriptions.

For a while, I added my blog to Substack because I wanted a way for people to subscribe to my work to see when I write.a new blogpost. Substack has fiat payment rails, but I'm not interested in fiat for ideological reasons. Don't get me wrong, I still use it to pay bills when I have to, but I want to get paid in bitcoin.

Highlighter.com has now added this feature. You can now **subscribe to people on highlighter.com. **This has been a dream of mine since 2018.  It's why I started writing in the first place.  My original idea was to write for satoshis, but that has now morphed into the value 4 value model.  Now, subscribers can pay anyone on nostr without going through a middle man.  **No more permission needed from Patreon.**  That's a big deal. **I remember when a government banned a bunch of bank accounts for sending bitcoin to truckers protesting vaccination without representation( or consent)**.

Highlighter was already one of my favorite nostr apps. I want to see more curated highlighters get on-boarded, but subscriptions are hot digity-damn awesome. It even shuffles different blogs I have written to showcase things I wrote in the past. It's so good, I can't find the words to explain it so I created a video to show everyone how cool this is.

So I printed this **AI generated** picture and framed it. I'm not a master artist, but I consider myself a writing artist. Fortunately for me, it is now possible to write prompts to create art.

Next I spun up an LNBits instance. I run one on my Start9 node, but it's buggy so it was easier to pay 21 sats an hour with LNBits. I also think it is important to support FOSS businesses developing tools that can bring out the circular economy because [exchanges suck](nostr:nevent1qqs2ys6enr8k7zcjz3cnqccs630eqdsd03nu2n0c2ayy4m0lw06ktkszyqzvj9w6alhrsvtl5u6ygjkwuwg2sf5lukqskgjpuhnd6dpal0kvjqcyqqqqqqg4pp9k4) and bitcoin is peer-to-peer electronic cash, not an investment. Bitcoiners are not investors, but anyone who is able to be their own bank is also able to be their own business. So I'm trying to sell some stuff in interesting ways.

"PGP empowers people to take their privacy into their own hands. There has been a growing social need for it. That's why I wrote it."

- Phil Zimmermann


"Throughout the 1990s, I figured that if we want to resist this unsettling trend in the government to outlaw cryptography, one measure we can apply is to use cryptography as much as we can now while it's still legal. When use of strong cryptography becomes popular, it's harder for the government to criminalize it. Therefore, using PGP is good for preserving democracy. If privacy is outlawed, only outlaws will have privacy."

- Phil Zimmermann


"The government has a track record that does not inspire confidence that they will never abuse our civil liberties. The FBI's COINTELPRO program targeted groups that opposed government policies. They spied on the antiwar movement and the civil rights movement. They wiretapped the phone of Martin Luther King. Nixon had his enemies list. Then there was the Watergate mess. More recently, Congress has either attempted to or succeeded in passing laws curtailing our civil liberties on the Internet. Some elements of the Clinton White House collected confidential FBI files on Republican civil servants, conceivably for political exploitation. And some overzealous prosecutors have shown a willingness to go to the ends of the Earth in pursuit of exposing sexual indiscretions of political enemies. At no time in the past century has public distrust of the government been so broadly distributed across the political spectrum, as it is today."

- Phil Zimmerman *Why I Wrote PGP*


"Perhaps you think your email is legitimate enough that encryption is unwarranted. If you really are a law-abiding citizen with nothing to hide, then why don't you always send your paper mail on postcards? Why not submit to drug testing on demand? Why require a warrant for police searches of your house? Are you trying to hide something? If you hide your mail inside envelopes, does that mean you must be a subversive or a drug dealer, or maybe a paranoid nut? Do law-abiding citizens have any need to encrypt their email?

What if everyone believed that law-abiding citizens should use postcards for their mail? If a nonconformist tried to assert his privacy by using an envelope for his mail, it would draw suspicion. Perhaps the authorities would open his mail to see what he's hiding. Fortunately, we don't live in that kind of world, because everyone protects most of their mail with envelopes. So no one draws suspicion by asserting their privacy with an envelope. There's safety in numbers. Analogously, it would be nice if everyone routinely used encryption for all their email, innocent or not, so that no one drew suspicion by asserting their email privacy with encryption. Think of it as a form of solidarity."

- Phil Zimmermann *Why I Wrote PGP*

The State will of course try to slow or halt the spread of this technology, citing national security concerns, use of the technology by drug dealers and tax evaders, and fears of societal disintegration. Many of these concerns will be valid; crypto anarchy will allow national secrets to be trade freely and will allow illicit and stolen materials to be traded. An anonymous computerized market will even make possible abhorrent markets for assassinations and extortion.

As an amusing thought experiment, imagine that Bitcoin is successful and becomes the dominant payment system in use throughout the world. Then the total value of the currency should be equal to the total value of all the wealth in the world. Current estimates of total worldwide household wealth that I have found range from $100 trillion to $300 trillion. With 20 million coins, that gives each coin a value of about $10 million. So the possibility of generating coins today with a few cents of compute time may be quite a good bet, with a payoff of something like 100 million to 1! Even if the odds of Bitcoin succeeding to this degree are slim, are they really 100 million to one against? Something to think about...

Blogging Bitcoin is an independent, **censorship-resistant** publication launched in March 2021 by [Blogging Bitcoin](https://iris.to/bloggingbitcoin).

I write a [blog](nostr:npub1wkljx5c6a8uccc5etws8ry0y3r4dgavh2dcav0tal4rtmcdl4z2sfu5u0t) about using bitcoin but I also find applied cryptography(things like nostr and PGP) fascinating.

This blog is published on [nostr](https://nostr.how/en/what-is-nostr)

It's a little different. There are no ads or paywalls. **I don't even have a website**.

I told normies to "buy #bitcoin" since it went under $200. Nobody cared until it reached almost 20k, but I doubt they held onto it. I didn't even hold onto all of it.

Now I tell people to sell dollars because they've lost 98% of their value in 50 years. They don't care.

Most normies think I'm crazy because "bitcoin crashed."

They won't hear about the price until we pass the fiat denominated ATH.

After a long enough time span, you stop caring about fiat price.

Eventually my wife stopped asking me to sell and started asking me to buy the dip.

I feel bad for normies. What will they do when the unfunded liabilities hit the fan? I suspect we will all be able to retire in about 10 years, but what will the normies do?

Get paid in bitcoin as a business with Zaprite and Alby

"Zaprite and Alby make bitcoin payments easy

Zaprite allows businesses to retain control over their finances by connecting their preferred bitcoin wallet, while avoiding costly and time-consuming technical overheads.

Alby on the other side allows its users to connect their Alby account to a variety of apps by simple plug and play. Alby completely takes over the payment processing and takes care that users receive their funds instantly and reliably, a service highly appreciated by thousands of users and optimised in millions of transactions."

5 Ways To Prepare for the Online Privacy Crackdown

"The Free Software Foundation, one of the leading organizations behind the Free Software movement, provides an extended definition:

    “Free software” means software that respects users’ freedom and community. Roughly, it means that the users have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. Thus, “free software” is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of “free” as in “free speech,” not as in “free beer.” We sometimes call it “libre software,” borrowing the French or Spanish word for “free” as in freedom, to show we do not mean the software is gratis."

I find applied cryptography completely facinating. Nostr is awesome cryptography. PGP is really cool. I also love steganography, but bitcoin is the only one that takes away the power of the money printers.

I asked Chat GPT to teach me how the Jefferson Wheel worked. Here is the answer it gave me.

"Certainly, I'd be happy to explain how the Jefferson Wheel, also known as the Jefferson Disk Cipher, works.

The Jefferson Wheel is a simple yet effective method of encrypting messages. It consists of multiple concentric disks, each with letters of the alphabet arranged in a random order. To use it, one must align the disks so that the letters on the outer and inner disks match up.

To encrypt a message, you set the disks to a particular starting position, and then for each letter in your message, you locate the plaintext letter on the outer disk and read off the corresponding ciphertext letter from the inner disk. This process is repeated for each letter in the message, creating the encrypted text.

To decrypt the message, the recipient needs a Jefferson Wheel set to the same starting position. They align their Wheel accordingly and reverse the process, finding the ciphertext letter on the inner disk to reveal the original plaintext letter on the outer disk.

The key to the Jefferson Wheel's security lies in the randomness of the letter arrangement on the disks, making it challenging for anyone without the correct starting position to decipher the message. It's a clever and historical example of a polyalphabetic substitution cipher, which makes it a significant contribution to the history of cryptography."

Ten Steps To Stack Sats Sans KYC

# Stack Sats Sans KYC In Ten Steps
Sorry, Fiat Maxis, bitcoin is not an investment. It is peer to peer electronic cash. It's not something you buy from Black Rock or Vanguard. Bitcoin is not something you buy, period. Bitcoin is something you use to buy other things. Sure, you might need to buy fiat every now and again to pay for gasoline, but bitcoin is a peer to peer electronic cash system, not an investment.
Since it is peer to peer electronic cash, no centralized bitcoin exchange is required. No law is required within this peer to peer electronic system. This is not to say there are no rules. The rules are written in software. Code is speech. Cypherpunks write code. Only the law of supply and demand is required. You don't need to* send a mugshot before selling fiat for bitcoin.*
![MeetupStack](https://i.nostr.build/m4Ej.jpg)
How To Stack KYC Free Sats
**Step 1:** Get a KYC free VPN (e.g., www.mullvad.net)

**Step 2:** Download the wallet of Satoshi.

**Step 3:** Sell fiat at a meetup; a hundred bucks is plenty. Don't get crazy and try to sell ten grand to a possible spook. You'll use these SATs a little later. You could also sell something other than fiat. I recently sold some bitcoin trading cards I got while volunteering for Pacific Bitcoin last year.

**Step 4:** Download the TOR browser. It's not as scary as the media makes it sound. You're selling fiat, not cocaine.

**Step 5:** Make a trade with Robosats. It takes some time to learn, but it's worth it. You'll need to post some SATs for collateral. That's why our hero sold a piece of green paper with Benjamin Franklin's face on it at a meetup.

https://learn.robosats.com

The most private way is to sell Amazon gift cards, but you can use Strike or the Cash App if you have them, but those require KYC. They have also just rolled out a person to person option, but it was about 288 blocks ago so I haven't had time to try it yet.

You could also use Bisq and send cash in the mail. It's a little technical though. You need security bags and take video of the process. The arbitration is also complicated, but I've only had to do it once. Cash is going the way of the T-Rex, so stack like this as long as you can.

Step 6: When you stack an amount that makes you feel uncomfortable(say, 3 million sats, but this varies by individual), buy a [Cold Card](https://coldcard.com/).
Roll some dice.
Write down the 24 words.
Send about 100,000 SATs to the first address.
Delete the key.
Restore the wallet.
If you see your SATs, congratulations!

**If you made a mistake, it sucks to be you**. Bitcoin ownership is extreme responsibility.  **If the government doesn’t know about your bitcoin, they can’t bail you out. If the government does know about your bitcoin, they still can’t bail you out. They can tax you, but they can’t build the bitcoin bailout roads**. So if you lose some sats, you need to start over. Maybe use Testnet this time.
![roads](https://i.nostr.build/v6jk.jpg)

**Step 7:** Back up your 24 words with steel. I prefer to engrave my words on military-grade steel plates, but there are other methods. Find out what works for you.

**Step 8:** Open a lightning channel with Phoenix Wallet using a BIP85 child seed from the Cold Card. Otherwise, you'll end up with 5,237 index cards in a fireproof safe. Guess how I know.

**Step 9:** Create a passphrase. Use 12 random words from the BIP39 word list. You could draw them from a hat, but I like to take a picture of a loved one with my seed signer. This is not necessary, but it's pretty cool.

We use these words because they are pre-spelled on the cold card. You don't want to use crazy special characters, spaces, and unintelligible gobbledygook. Guess how I know.

This is obvious but be sure not to store these in the same place. I don't recommend burying keys. Guess why. I'll tell you. I once buried steel keys in a park. I thought this was a great idea. Who goes digging in the ground at a park? I buried them, but while walking back to my car I saw some dude using a metal detector. I can't say he took them for sure, but I couldn't find them the next day. Luckily, this was only one of my two-of-three multisig keys.

You should also set up multi-signature wallet. It takes time, but you'll be more resilient. I learned how to do it during lockdown. Guess how much time I had on my hands.

**Step 10:** Start stacking sats on Robosats using your Phoenix wallet. Send those SATs to cold storage. Again, Bisq is also great but requires some technical chops. It's in the beta testing community on Start 9, but not quite ready for prime yet. I'm not one of those guys that thinks everyone needs to run a node, but if you care enough about bitcoin to defend it, you should run your own node. It's easier now than ever. Guess how I know. Start 9 is the easiest, in my opinion. Back in the day, "be your own bank" was a popular meme. Nowadays, you can be your own Robosats exchange.

The Cypherpunk ethos teaches us how to [become free in an unfree world/Internet](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpmEUqasYrc). I don't know what the latest bitcoin laws are. I don't know how much I need to pay in taxes on a 100 sat zap. I heard about *Fin Sin's* proposals on Rabbit Hole Recap last week. Guess how many fucks I give about them.

### What If I Already Have KY C Attacked Sats?
BTCZelko suggests buying fiat from the exchange you originally sold it on. If you sold fiat on Coinbase, buy it back on Coinbase. Of you bought it on Swan, sell it on Strike becase I hear you Swan does not buy bitcoin back from you. **Pay the taxes**. Hear that Ms. IRS? Pay your taxes. After you pay your taxes, guess what you should do next.

I am fascinated by Tim May's crypto-anarchy. Unlike the communities traditionally associated with the word "anarchy", in a crypto-anarchy the government is not temporarily destroyed but permanently forbidden and permanently unnecessary. It's a community where the threat of violence is impotent because violence is impossible, and violence is impossible because its participants cannot be linked to their true names or physical locations. Until now it's not clear, even theoretically, how such a community could operate.

"We cannot expect governments, corporations, or other large, faceless organizations to grant us privacy out of their beneficence. It is to their advantage to speak of us, and we should expect that they will speak. To try to prevent their speech is to fight against the realities of information.

I use PlebAI and also love it.


Check this decentralized, nostr native marketplace.

A couple apps like GetAlby and Current let you import BIP39 seed phrases as a nostr key.(NIP07).

# How To Make AI Generated Art With No Credit Card Or Email

I created the images for my last blogpost using  [Pleb AI](https://home.pleb.ai). I have paid for various things using bitcoin like hats, hardware wallets, Virtual machines, and gift cards before, but this feels a little different. This actually solves a problem. Don't get me wrong, it's cool to pay for a new laptop using bitcoin on newegg.com. but I could have just as easily used a credit card. Although I could create images using Midjourney or use ChatGPT to run similar closed-source software built by people developing world coin and other technology scarier than anything written by George Orwell, **this service will save me some sats. **But wait...There's more:**

*   No credit card

*   No monthly fee

*   No ads. By the way, ads suck.

*   It is Free and Open Source Artificial Intelligence.

Want to generate an image? There are 13 different options:

![image](https://i.nostr.build/jleM.png)

**Tired of spending all your sats on Only fans**, try talking to GF Phone Talk. It's like those 1-900-SEX-LINES from the 90's, only instead of talking to a real woman who wasn't pretty enough top get naked for dollars, you read sexy talk generated by AI. What is AI generated sexy talk, you ask?  I don't know, but let's find out.   I used the suggested prompt:

"I am missing you babe. Can we talk on the phone for a while to give each other company?"

Here is what it came up with:

!![gftalk](https://i.nostr.build/QRD7.png)

On second thought, you should try to meet a real woman.

### Stay Fit

Here's a conversation I had with Zara The FitMinder.  I asked:

"I need to prep lunches for the week  that follows the paleo diet. What should I make?"

![](https://i.nostr.build/6myR.png)

As my teenage son would say, Quinoa seems a little "sus," but that took like 5 seconds. I've been going down this health and fitness rabbit hole lately and meal planning takes some time. This may not be perfect, but it's a great start. I Whoogled:

![](https://i.nostr.build/zlX4.png)

Whoogle gave me this result:

![](https://i.nostr.build/A5zM.png)

I love to read books, listen to audio books, and I am an avid Bitcoin Audible Fan, but I hate reading about recipes. **I don't want to know you grew up in Wisconsin**.  I have nothing against Wisconsin.  I just want lunch.

![wisconson](https://i.nostr.build/rAVV.png)

 I just want lunch. Luckily, I use Mealie on my Umbrel. Mealie scrapes the important stuff like the actual cooking part and formats them nicely. So I type in the URL here and click create:

![](https://i.nostr.build/jlnE.png)

No more Wisconsin and **I can create my meal plan for the week in about ten minutes.  **Now I just need some AI software that can cook and prep my meals.  That's not possible yet. I still need to cook my meals. Most people are afraid something like this can take away the nutritionist jobs, but that's short sided. Maybe the registered nutritionist uses tools like this to create meal plans for her clients within minutes instead. Maybe meal prep now comes with the plan, adding more value to the customer. I don't know, but it is is interesting to think of all the possibilities AI can unleash. I![](https://i.nostr.build/lW2P.png)

More importantly, it only takes a few hundred sats to free up some of your time. I think that's worth it since time is the only thing more scarce than bitcoin. Time is money as they say.  Besides, if you use it 100 times per month, it will only cost you about \$3.00 That's 17 bucks less than a ChatGPT subscription would cost you. Don't need it next mont?  It doesn't cost anything.

### AI For Everybody

Alex Gladstien calls bitcoin the people's money. I love this description. Although bitcoin does not have a central bank, it does have a die hard group of nerds and geeks willing to fight for it. Bitcoin is run by these people running full nodes, mining out of home made heaters, making pull requests and onboarding people onto nostr.  Bitcoin is the peoples money because it is run by the people. ** We The People who run bitcoin **want a more fair and just world. If you watch the news, and I wouldn't recommend this, you'll see and hear all about the doom and gloom bitcoin and AI will bring. One, or perhaps both will boil the oceans and AI will kill all the jobs and say I'll be back."

AI can be for everybody when it is paid for using the **People's Money**. The people's money has no charge backs.

![](https://i.nostr.build/B5A0.png)

That means you can pay for what you need without giving some centralized trusted third party access to your credit cards. PlebAI doesn't ask for an email. This means you can try the service without a subscription. You don't need a bachelor's degree in Information Technology to set up the free and open source software yourself.  Better yet, you don't even need a subscription.  As long as you have a smartphone and a few  pennies, worth of sats you can create powerful images like this:

![honeybadger](https://i.nostr.build/Zld8.png)

While everyone else is shaking in their boots because of thier AI induced job loss jitters, you can learn to use AI to free up your time to do something more productive.

PlebAI means this technology is available to anyone with a smart phone and a few dollars worth of bitcoin. I think this is very valuable, but most people have not seen it in action yet. So I decided to create a video about it on Rumble. Please share this blogpost and the Rumble Video with people who may not be into bitcoin. I started this blog because I wanted to show the world that bitcoin is not just some investment, but a tool. We can use this tool to make the world a better place. That may sound like a rasberry-pi in the sky idea, but AI will be here whether you like it or not. How many hours of your time can a few dollars worth of bitcoin free up for you?  If time is money, more time is good. What will you do with this time?  Do you want to write a blog, create a business, or just watch the doom and gloom on the boob tube? My hope is that the world wll free uptheir time to solve some of their time to make the world a better place.

We've been thinking a lot about subscriptions at Mutiny and how others can take advantage of it.

Today, ZapplePay just shipped AutoZaps. It's like a decentralized Patreon: every npub gets their own page where people can set up recurring payments to them. https://www.zapplepay.com/autozap/

AutoZaps and ZapplePay use NWC (Nostr Wallet Connect) to communicate with supporting wallets such as Mutiny and Alby. Both wallets have budgeting features so you can auto-approve payment requests associated with a specific NWC string.

We built Mutiny+ using this same NWC tech. Bitcoin is a "push" system, so replicating fiat's "pull" payments in a self-sovereign way involves new ideas and standards. NWC keeps the user in control, and offers the convenience of autopay when you want it. https://blog.mutinywallet.com/solving-subscriptions-on-bitcoin-one-zap-at-a-time/

Check out AutoZaps and see what you think! We're looking to work with other services / products that want to offer NWC-based checkouts and subscriptions so hit us up if you'd like to chat.

"Bitcoin: Bitcoin transactions generally have lower fees compared to traditional banking services. The fees are usually based on the size of the transaction and the level of network congestion at the time. However, it’s essential to note that fees can fluctuate based on market conditions and demand for Bitcoin transactions on the base chain. The lightning network built on layer two of the bitcoin blockchain has proven to maintain low fees on all transactions."

Traditional Banking: In traditional banking, the primary currency is the fiat currency, which is issued and regulated by the government. Common examples include the US Dollar (USD), Euro (EUR), and Japanese Yen (JPY). The value of fiat currency is subject to fluctuations based on economic factors, such as inflation and interest rates. Bitcoin: Bitcoin is a digital currency that operates independently of any government or central authority. Its value is determined by the free market forces of supply and demand. The supply of Bitcoin is limited to 21 million coins, which gives it a deflationary nature, as opposed to fiat currencies, which can be printed at will by central banks. Transaction Process:

Still, CVC mixing presents an acute money laundering risk because it shields information from responsible third parties, such as financial institutions and law enforcement," was stated in the document.

Start accepting payments! This plugin is particularly useful for individuals who are self-employed or engaged in freelance work. It also holds significance for larger organisations that, as part of their sales and engagement strategy, provide complimentary consultations. People frequently underestimate the effort and time required for consultation preparation. Consequently, they might schedule a consultation and, without cancelling, opt not to attend. So the next time someone requests "just 30 minutes of your time," direct them to your Cal.com link that includes the necessary payment for booking a slot with you - in bitcoin of course.

After the halving the subsidy is 3.125 BTC per block. With a targeted block time of 10 minutes, theres 144 blocks per day.
3.125 x 144 x 100,000,000 satoshis per block is 45 billion sats per day. Assuming a population of roughly 8 billion people on the planet, that works out to 5.625 sats per person per day


Start 9 and Umbrel make it easy. Just don't run too much on a raspi. I run an Umbrel on a raspi and Start9 on an OptiPlex. You don't need to learn linux/bash. You just need Balena Etcher.


16 gb is good enough to run an Umbrel, but you'll need at least a 1TBSSD card, but I recomend getting 2TB. I bought a one on newegg.com for about 75 bucks and they accept bitcoin.

Probably a different derivation path. What does the address on the Trezor start with?


I run Incidious on Umbrel.


Check out https://satellite.earth , a nostr reddit clone. I haven't learned how to moderate yet. Please let me know if you figure it out.


*This was my first blog post on Ghost. Before this I wrote under this nym on wordsmith.
 have decided to re-post all my blogs on nostr.  to be honest, many of them suck, but I want to post them here anyway To remind myself how much I have learned and how much I still need to work on my craft.*

# My Nym Is Brutus Bond

My nym is Brutus Bond. You won't find this name on my driver's licence . I started writing a blog about bitcoin because I've been obsessed with it since 2014.  I want a way to explore my ideas about bitcoin and teach people how to use it. I'm using a pseudonym for the following reasons:

- Anonymous writing has a long tradition in the US. I chose Brutus becuase it was the nym chosen by the person who wrote my favorite Anti-Federalist Paper
- Satoshi was a nym and showed that it was possible to have a completely peer-to-peer cash system that allows world-wide commerce without an identity attached.
- I was inspired by Rockstar Developer's appearance on Citadel Dispatch.

My goal is to become a soverign individual by building a small audience willing to **pay me 250 sats per week** or 13000 sats per year.  I will also donate 10% of everything I make to [opensats.org](http://opensats.org). I realize making a living off donations worth 10 cents is a longshot, but it's something I want to try. I believe the Internet is better if we can avoid the surviellence capatalism that preys upon us all, making us spend more money than we should on things we don't really need.

The idea is to write about bitcoin everyday and ask for donations. I'm trying something I like to call a reverse paywall to do this.  Normallly, a writer provides a small sample of thier article before asking you to pay 50-500 per year to read the rest.

## **250 Sats Per Week**

I decided to present my article first and then ask for a small donation at the end of the article. The paywall comes at the end instead of the begining. You are only asked to pay 250 sats at the end of the article. If you can't afford it, you still get to read the article.

Great advice.

Hey I got banmed from your Telegram group before I even posted anything.

 I'm not really a bot. I just play one on the Internet. 😃.

I thought I preseed the button for 60 seconds, but I wasn't wearing my glasses so who knows?

 May I please be reinstated?


Inspirational.

You should try https://mutinywallet.com because:

- It is self custodial

-You can back it up by writing down 12 words.

- It works on any phone pr computer with a web browser.

If you don't have any bitcoin yet, find a bitcoin meet up near you and ask someone to buy a couple dirty hundred dollar bills for bitcoin.


"Lightning Wallets You Can Try Out…

    Exodus (a main multi currency wallet with a lightning option, easisest way I know to move regular bitcoin onto lightning)
    Wallet of Satoshi (supports lnurl/email addresses and is about as simple to use as any wallet gets)
    Breez – (Integrates Adam Curry’s value for value to stream to podcasters, can use lnurl to send but far as I can tell not to recieve)
    BlueWallet – (will run as a hosted wallet or can be tied into your own node, I have not worked with it yet but a lot of people love it)
    Spark Wallet – (not tried this at all yet but supports email sending (lnurl) and is well liked in the lightning community)
    I also recommend you check out LightningAddress.com not a wallet but it powers lnurl/emailsend and lists apps and wallets currently using said technology."

This is a highlight created on https://highlighter.com


"Final Note – In time I plan to build this out to be a full how to section on other lightning wallets, how to stream sats to your favorite podcasters, etc.  That is the minimum this will become.  That said I honestly would like to take it further by running some nodes and building either a web plugin or a highly functional simple wallet.  I absolutely do not have the skills or time to do that but if you are a developer I might be interested in hearing your pitch.  If you want to start a dialog with me about it email me with TSPC Lightning in the subject line.  If you can’t figure out my email don’t bother as you are clearly not qualified to work with me on this project. (sorry not sorry)."

"Once you have your bitcoin “on lightning” you can send it fast, super cheap (fractions of a cent) and in small amounts.  I have sent transactions as low as 50 cents to people just to show them how well it works."

This is a highlight created on https://highlighter.com


"The thing about lightning is, it is for FAST, CHEAP and generally SMALL transactions.  Like tipping, micro tipping, buying a coffee, paying for a dinner, etc.  If you were buying a 10,000 dollar car for Bitcoin the fee on the transaction would be tiny to the whole and waiting 5-10 minutes for it to clear completely is no big deal.  If you like something I say though and want to send me say 50 cents, it would cost more in fees to send 50 cents of bitcoin than the 50 cents itself.  This is where lightning comes in."

To learn how to enable Lightning on Exodus just watch this video. I recommend starting out with say 50-200 bucks. Don’t worry about the fee, a buck isn’t much and consider it tuition to learn without much risk until you get comfortable.
