I added a reusable Bolt 12 reusable payment request to this photo using #steganography.
It is not an NFT.
I can't keep you from downloading it.
It is not on "a blockchain," but you can still use cryptography to pay me in #bitcoin with the information hidden inside this jpeg.

I added a bolt 12 reusable payment address from Phoenix wallet using an app called No Clue Steganography on an Android phone.
The point is you can get paid for digital art without shitcoins. 🫠
I guess you could transfer ownership on nostr. For example, if someone paid me 345,635 and sent me a message with the amount, I could announce they now own this jpeg on nostr by creating a signed message that says they own it.
This is simmilar to the way ownership of money rocks was.transfered on the island of Yap. The rocks were there for everyone to see. Everyone knew who owned the rocks.
Information longs to be free however. This "ownership" does not come with any property rights. Intellectual property requires a court system. If someone uses this jpeg I own without paying me, I doubt I could sue for copyright infringement, but I don't feel like these laws are useful in the electronic age anyway.
I have no idea what this is about.
I rarely watch the news, but did yesterday to stay updated on the fires.
Harris quoted tgis Bob Seger song.
I have no idea wtf this is supposed to mean.

No. I've talked to other people about it too, but I think it will be awesome eventually. I know Ben Arc made some video tutorials on creating extensions.
Can you code at all?
# Bitcoin Is Poetry
The first time I saw Shakespeare's sonnet's I fell in love.
I was awestruck by the smelting of English and math.
Each line's a beat box of binary iambic pentameter.
1010101010
Building rhythm and rhymes out of metaphors and alliteration.
The last lines chiseled by indentation.
The first time I saw HTML, I fell in love because it reminded me of poetry.
The first time I saw how hashcash was used in #bitcoin, I fell in love with a new kind of poetry.
This is so cool! I've never heard the word gematria before.
👀
From my brief Wikepedia research, it appears BIP 39 seed words are Genatria. Is that correct?
I don't understand linked in. Judging my my messages, it is social media for people who want to sell me AI technology to improve my personal Ghost blog.
That must be why someone asked me to lunch. She is very attractive, but I'm a happily married man. I would like to know what image diffuser she used to make a photo of such a beautiful woman though.🤣
My AC busted.
The technician says I need a new AC and furnace.
He said the price was $16,000(27 million sats).
$208 per month for 15 years.
If I need a furnace too, I want it to mine bitcoin, but this dude said regulations blah, blah, blah.
I need a second opinion and my thinks I will burn down the house.
I also ran the numbers on heatbit heaters.
I can profit about 300,000 sats per month, ith 4 heatbit space heaters. Of course, I don't really plan to sell sats to pay my electricity bill, but 300k sats assumes I will.
My electricity cost would he about $150(257,000 sats)more than my gas, so I might only net 40k sats per month, but it's still profitable. I also think this is somewhat off set by the fact I don't actually plan to run it as much at night and my electricity is cheaper during the day because of solar.
Has anyone else run the numbers on heatbit heaters?
#asknostr
Thanks for showing me this. This is exactly what I want. I know Guy Swann has something like this. I just need to figure out how to get this installed.
I also ran the numbers. I will only make a little and I'd the price drops, I will be in the red, but I would rather spend a $3,000 on a heater that pays me sats than $8,000 on a heater that pays no sats.
I either need to sell 13 million sats to buy a normie heater or finance it at 12.9% interest.
This option was less attractive when I could get 0% interest loans, but the tides have turned.
I have a ton of typos and I don't know if it's any good, but I published some of my blogs as a Kindle book.
At first, I decided to sell it for $9.99, but then got the idea to sell it for as little as possible, I thought that was a buck, but I guess it's $2.99.
Of course, the blogs are also available free of charge on nostr.
The title is Zap This Book.
Please do me a favor and help me get the word out.

"I hear of a convention to be held in Baltimore, or elsewhere, for the selection of a canidate for Presidency, made up of cheifly editors, and men who are politicians by profession, but I think, what is it to any independent, intelligent, and respectable man what decision they may come to, shall we not have the advantage of his wisdom and honestt nevertheless? Can we not counr upon some independent votes? Are there not many men in this country that do not attend conventions?But no: I find that the respectable man, so called, has immediately drifted from his position, and despairs of his country, when his country has more reason to despair of him. He forthwith adopts one of the canidates thus selected as the only *available*, thus proving that he himself *available* for any purpose of tbe memagogue. His vote is of no more worth than that of anyunprincipled foreigner or hireling native, who may have been bought."
Henry David Thoreau, *Civil Disobedience*
