 This is wild to see when I first found bitcoin at $1, 14 years ago. At the time I knew literally 0 about money or austrian economics. Thank satoshi i listened to you psychopaths.

What a ride it’s been. nostr:note1pf703tdxnh78azelnwsyp50zphaa4var0j96tef2sa6kpa8zeatq6gnasz 
 Very few were “stacking “ at $1, i gave most of mine away to friends

 happy to chat about nostr metaverse stuff whenever you’re not dying! 
 #[1] I cannot seem to zap you.  Damus says invalid lightning address.  I'll keep looking. 
 Many such cases

 I gotta stop drinking and nostring 
 I’m doing my part inadvertently 🫡 
 the people on nostr are some of the smartest and coolest i’ve ever got to know. who cares if it doesn’t take over the world. It’s done more than i could ever ask for.

 My bitcoin node has had yet another critical failure for the 10th time , rebuilding it. 
 SSD is fine, but leveldb loves to randomly corrupt. This time I couldn’t even reindex, have to redownload the whole chain. Thats the critical part

 It’s unfortunate but this account has to die I think

 npub is uniquely determined by the nsec. you cannot have another nsec from the same npub 
 Now, the problem is… how do you know it runs the code it says it does?

 For me it was when he started trading fiat for btc on decentralized exchanges nostr:note1zrszxhyvzgfcwk7nfu9cnwtscuu0apv0avnsggh52lw4dw58frtqp3w0m2 
 I have never experienced it but I am told social-media-and-dating-app induced simping is such an epidemic that now they only like you if you don’t like them (too much)? modern dating is bizarre. 
 i think always-available connectedness is ruining human connection. we’re not meant to be always connected to each other. affection grows when we miss them over longer periods. If you always know what they’re doing, wheres the longing and mystery?

 Just spent 5 minutes on Twitter 

I need a hug now, I'm sad 🫂 
 obsidian is pretty cool 
 Been talking about it with the team 
 Lots of things in talking stage. Not ready to commit yet 😆 
 git is definitely the “right” way to do it but nostr could simplify it 
 biggest issue is the fact the addressable events are not versioned… I implement them as versioned in nostrdb but most relays don’t work this way 
 built on open standards, great ui 
 I liked this spec that it implements. I wanted to build a version of this as a nostr client

 Comment below if you want me to review your relay lists. I have a couple hours to spare. 
 You shouldn’t have to think about it 
 because if you have to nostr fails for everyone except techies 
 How come primal has zaps but Damus doesn’t? #asknostr

 This seems to implement an idea i had a long time ago: pkarr. Very cool 
 This seems like nostr + dht? 
 nm doesn’t seem like that at all. Some kind of decentralized web node thing? 
 Reminds me of zeronet a bit 
 Looks like a copy of https://zeronet.io , that never really took off but was a neat idea

 @The Fishcake🐶🐾 was describing what they do, its not perfect but apparently it works decently well, at least for public uploaders 
 apparently my bitcoind leveldb corrupted *yet again* so I have to redownload the entire blockchain from scratch. ffs. leveldb is terrible. 
 point to hardware even though raid doesn’t  handle it? what do you mean
