 What's the most important advice you would give to someone new to #Bitcoin? 
 Buy a used Google Pixel.

Practice self custody on testnet.

 I plan on using this to onboard businesses.

 Coino.io is awesome. This is by far the easiest way to accept bitcoin payments for brick and mortar stores.

 New accounts get an npub!

 Coinos.io  
 Don't know yet, but off the top of my head, you can tip wait staff by searching their username in mutiny wallet. 
 Where? I can’t find it. 
 That's really cool. How did you get these guys on?

 Thanks. I found it.  
 I don't disagree, but what would you do with this feature? Zap people? I'm not being an askhole either. This stuff is so new, I just don't think I totally understand it yet. 😂

Question: if you had to do... 
 Have you guys read Permanent Record? He gives some very good arguments for doxing himself and giving the information to Glen Greenwald.

This gives me an idea though. 

The book was not banned in the United States, but Snowden did not have permission to earn money from the sales of his book. I believe the proceeds went to some USG alphabet soup agency.

I want to know if he would have published the book on nostr using NIP 23.

...Or better yet, BitTorrent with zaps enabled.

 What the hell?🤔 Let's try it.😉 
 It's Tuesday, so I figured I'd mention that it's good to have a backup way of communicating with ... 
 I've been thinking about this quite a bit since google no longer let's me access my email without paying two bucks per month. 

It's not about the money. The fact that a corporation can cut off email over $1.99 is problematic. 
 That's cool. Can this comvert my existing nsec into 12 BIP39 words? 
 That's what I figured. Some dude at my meetup told me about this node. I hace followed you for years, but only recently learned about it. 

I'll take a look at the docs. I'd like to try it on a VM. 
 Good morning to all of you beautiful people. Have an outstanding day! 
 Good mornin'. 
 Almost everything I see on twitter makes me mad, but I suppose that’s the point. 
 That's the formula for more ad revenue.

Stay off social media platforms, stack more sats. 
 That's why I don't have many followers. I'm too nice. I should argue with shitcoiners like Chamath and Janet Yellen instead of posting blogs. 
 I was waiting for this. I was a little skeptical when you said they might replace Biden at the last minute.

Now people on MSNBC are even talking about it. 
 permissioned social media seems so archaic these days. living in the future is fun, 99.999% of pe... 
 You deleted twitter, right? What were your reasons? 
 Same. People are so much nicer here. 
 Trying to send zaps, but Phoenix wallet keeps giving me the error message: "Your channel is not c... 
 Are you under United States jurisdiction? 
 I don't know then. 
 Pardon the interruption, but UTXO's are on sale!

 HiveTalk is really nice 👍 
 It's dope! 
 I'm sure it will be. I'm not worried about this developer though. 
 Jaron Lanier's name appears on the same Wired Magazine cover the Cypherpunks issue. 

Today, I started reading his book, Ten Arguments For Deleting Your Social Media Accounts.

Has anyone else read this book?

I wonder what he thinks of nostr.

 I read you are not a gadget last year. He highlights many of the problems with social media platforms. 
 Have you read his books? 
 He's an interesting guy. You should check him out on YouTube(or NewPipe).

He plays some strange musical contraption. 😅, but I think he invented MIDI or something. 
 I've never heard of Yanag before. I'll check him out.

I also don't like or agree with Lanier on everything either. For one thing, he's a no-coiner. 🤮 
 Which Nostr client has the best communities UX, but it's not communities only client? 
 I don't know, but I'm interested in other people's answers. 
 Ok so now i have to delete all my app and get them from nostr:npub10r8xl2njyepcw2zwv3a6dyufj4e4aj... 
 I bought a cheap Android tablet the other day. It wouldn't allow me to sign into Google Play with my gmail account unless I pay $1.99 ransom for storage every month.

Then it occured to me, I don't need google.

All of the apps I need are on zapstore, obtanium, or aurora.

So I don't need to pay $1.99 to Google every month.

I know it's only two bucks a month.

I just don't want to support surveillance capitalism. 
 THERE IS ALREADY MORE REAL ENGAGEMENT ON NOSTR THAN BITCOIN TWITTER.

THE RIDE OR DIES ARE HERE.
... 
 Twitter is a slot machine that pays meaningless likes and occasional viral exposure. If you're lucky, you might see a message from a popular account weeks after they send it to you. 
 This is the real problem with social media. You only see what they want you to see, especially when it comes to politics, but your eyes stay glued to the screen like senior citizen's ass glued to a seat in front of a slot machine. 
 Thirty fucking four 🚀🎂 
 Happy birthday. 
 Good morning.

Is there a way to de-google tablets?
#asknostr 
 Thanks. I didn't even think about that. It's just like a phone. Duh 😏🤣 
 I never even knew Pixel made tablets until the other day. I bought a cheap tablet online. Is it possible to install CalyxOS on it? There's no secure element. I just don't want Google crapware on it. 
 Awesome. 
 I need to try breez and nostr wallet connect too. 
 I got it to work on my home network, but not over the Internet. 
 My made this with spray paint.

 You can name the rooms? 
 That's awesome. Thanks. 
 What if you accumulate $100,000 of #bitcoin and it falls to $50,000?

Has happened before 🤔

#... 
 Rejoice and stack more sats. 
 Damn. I just realized I have over a hundred articles on nostr

 Woah the forced closes on that last block 
 What happened? 
 A friend called me last night while he was watching the debate and said: I think you’re right, ... 
 I wasn't able to zap you so I sent a message, but it was on my end. Sorry.🤦‍♂️ 
 Crazy to think there are probably many Americans who watched last night’s debate and only just ... 
 It's because they watch MSNBC propoganda more than they watch Biden speak. 
 This wallet is great, but DNS sucks.
