I was figuring that out last night 🤣 Thanks for the zap!


It’s when Moscow time goes from PM to AM 🔥


This is wild… So I was looking at getting a new Cavs jersey so obviously I searched the most impactful Cavs players to wear #21

Meet “World B. Free” - His time with the Cleveland Cavaliers was especially impactful; joining in the early 1980s, he helped revive the struggling franchise, energizing fans and contributing to their playoff push. Known for his vibrant personality, Free became a fan favorite and left a lasting legacy as one of the NBA’s memorable characters and scorers.

There are no coincidences.

It was when I realized that I was selling my time, and if I didn't fix that I was going to have to sell my time for the rest of my life, I decided that I would rather sit naked on a rock outside because I understood that no money in the world was going to make me happy. I was already happy.

It was when I realized that the credit system offers a very particular game that we call finance that anyone with a sound mind can play and win, that I decided to play and win.

It was when I realized that I was the full owner of my time that I needed to study. I chose to study #Bitcoin and Austrian economics because someone told me to. I didn't stop reading until to this day, and I will keep reading.

It was when I realized that studying Bitcoin and Austrian economics provided the only realistic solutions to all our problems that I understood that I should tell others to do the same.


Damn just saw that. Doesn’t matter though, he had an RBI and it was in the bottom of the 10th

#NostrValley seemed to have a consistent throughout most of its panels: Community

Nostr is it's communities. We hop between various communities, but we're constantly connecting to people who matter to us or at the very least people who care about what we care about.

I met so many great people yesterday that I may have already interacted with through notes and some that I've talked to on nostr:nprofile1qqsv83ejztakekydrtxp3a5yn3nqc34re9et7knkd3vn35rynlwuklqpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0paqg7k or nostr:nprofile1qqsp8luyzs4x2f3y2yjvrq8m2dpvagfs64v0a3753qqe68dw02k2rzspr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0cmv45h. Those connections mean so much.

I wish I could have been able to spend more time with you all, but I have faith I'll get that chance to see you in person again.

Thank you, Nostr.
You've completely changed my life.
And, that's not an overstatement.


Decentralized social networks were my main focus during my PhD. After I graduated early last year, my classmates Younes,  nostr:npub1f6kxlwfx57gmq6lrlmh2l3ry2n094gd7883gpvgz4wa3jwg3ua3q3vzhxn , and I went all in on building Yakihonne.  This marks our fourth year exploring decentralized social networks.

For the first three years, we built a well-known decentralized research media platform in Asia. We experimented with decentralized creation, funding, and moderation to make media truly decentralized. From 2020 to early 2023, those were some of our happiest times—joining hackathons, winning grants, and focusing on decentralized media. We managed to achieve decentralized content creation for research communities.

In February 2023, we built a decentralized media client based on Nostr and secured some funding. In the early days of a small team, doing the right things and maintaining funding is crucial. Nostr's early phase, combined with the challenges many decentralized media projects have faced, made securing funding particularly tough.

I really believe in the Chinese saying, "After endless mountains and rivers that leave doubt whether there is a path out, suddenly one encounters the shade of a willow, bright flowers and a lovely village.” 山重水复疑无路，柳岸花明又一村。

At the Bitcoin Global Summit in the US, I met nostr:npub1ughzzpqra3hly3dqw0ta6n8al8xpyn703u2vjd2dx6me3l7y0jlq7xktzm , npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s  , nostr:npub19qharf5037zxxp8dgws7ukcxqjvxt9vq3rf3gqye94ga85jmu2dsvyy3ww , nostr:npub1j8y6tcdfw3q3f3h794s6un0gyc5742s0k5h5s2yqj0r70cpklqeqjavrvg and others who gave us much encouragement and inspiration. In NV, I was asked if our projects on Nostr were competitors. My belief has always been that we are in a positive sum game—building the ecosystem together and creating growth, rather than being competitors. This is the nature of Nostr and a necessity for the future development of the world. The virtual digital world is vast enough, and we don’t need to cling to zero-sum thinking from the industrial age.

On my way back to Singapore from NV, a series of delays turned a 24-hour journey into 40 hours. Luckily, I still met my PhD supervisor. We had a great conversation about publishing and media through the lens of AI, social computing, advertising, and intelligent philosophy . Over the past 20 years, my supervisor has spent almost half of each year traveling to different countries, promoting the development of AI and complex systems. Now he’s more focused on making sure his students stay healthy.

Over the past two years, I received a few invitations for journal submissions, but I had to delay them due to my busy schedule. Moving forward, I plan to publish our latest research as papers, introducing Nostr and decentralized social networks to more academics, and inviting more researchers to join the Nostr ecosystem.

Right before boarding, I received support from an international academic organization, which really lifted my travel fatigue. Together, we’ll be planning a series of initiatives to engage the academic community in discussions about Nostr.

A big thanks to my team and nostr:npub14sq5ujkfavz8dpkduyf2e8zkpvakykl0gjfptyjxteaffkcecnxq8pgqkq  for supporting Yakihonne and helping us grow.

What are the differences/benefits over signing extensions like Nos2X?


If you think that, then you definitely don’t want to do an image search of Balut 👀


The worst part about this process is the lack of transparency. At least if a bitcoin transaction gets stuck, I can still see it as a valid transaction in the mempool. I’ve had ach payments delayed for over a week with no idea what was going on.


I disagree. That was some top tier  schadenfreude.

Don’t worry about my reply then… 🤣


Some people will also never admit they were wrong https://media.tenor.com/MSazYl7ZWLcAAAAC/ok.gif


Everyone has bugbears about #Bitcoin and #Bitcoiners.

Mine is the lack of elite theory that Bitcoiners have studied and/or discuss. Seems to be too far out there for Ancap-types who acknowledge natural hierarchies but then shy away from the reality of it.

Many seem to think we’ll have hyperbitcoinisation entirely without impetus - ie fiat money printing will do all the heavy lifting and we’ll just end up in this idyllic world where government is restrained because everyone has seen the light and adopted Bitcoin and they can’t print more. I assign a roughly 0.00001% chance to that outcome.

The heaviest weighted category in my view (with diverging paths at a certain point) is Bitcoin has a massive run and creates a new financial elite which could become a new social counter elite. This happens *well before* government is occupied by non-parasites who will be on a warpath for a wealthy but highly disorganised class of people who have the means to destroy them but lack the coordination.

That will be the time to plant Bitcoin’s flag for a new system. Not when status quo institutions have spilled our blood and were forced into joining and then co-opting our economic system - that’s FAR too late.

That flag won’t be planted unless we give serious thought and mindshare to how such a system could work and what tradeoffs we’d all be willing to accept for the least bad system because rest assured, normies will stick with the parasites if the parasites are the only ones articulating a vision, even if their vision sucks.

I’m here to embrace the new counter elite, and to work with likeminded Bitcoiners on ways to uproot the establishment and replace them *permanently* with fewer shitcunts.

NGU for me only matters insofar as it allows tables to be flipped.

I don’t want a lambo, I want a dynasty.

I don’t want fiat justice to prevail, I want the natural justice of parasite head’s on pikes for what they’ve done to the people.

I want new fables written about the evils of usury and new myths to take root in civilisation about what is good and righteous that cross religions and cultures.

I want #Bitcoin and #Bitcoiners to succeed to their fullest, by replacing the parasitic system rather than just usurping it.

That’s what I’m here for - how about you? nostr:note14hd2z48knluwy5t77ff6zkkf6fw4zrk3h06g4v2ttgakk67hqrusuv56eg

I think it’s actually the most recent DN update that will pushed.


I’m responding to nostr:npub1lrnvvs6z78s9yjqxxr38uyqkmn34lsaxznnqgd877j4z2qej3j5s09qnw5 claiming paywalls don’t work. This is an overly broad statement. Sure if the V4V economy grows and there is no friction for micropayments, good solutions for non-custodial Lightning, better tax treatment, etc… then paywalls won’t be the best option. But for right now, paywalls work for a good number of creators and it’s silly to say they don’t work.


Because we get to vote on the panel….. right?!?

Just spoke at a real estate convention where the organizers spent the majority of the time explaining to the audience that the only reason real estate is an "investment" is because the money is broken.

Long after all the other vendors had packed up and left, the Bitcoin Mentor booth was still packed with people asking questions to learn more.

Bullish. https://image.nostr.build/8dfa95bc99a57d9251fe297c5474690326c8c3d75488b73b6580c60a0218a992.jpg


Using Nostur and setting up different lists with different groups of people and/or different hashtags is a superpower.  It lets you keep in touch with a certain group or topic and only see that in the feed.

I’ve thought about this… maybe we should create something like an escrow for this stuff. Pick a creator and mirror their account. Any zaps to their content will be held for them and released to them if they join and start posting after a probationary period.

Ok, so I finally figured out where to send the funds. The organization that my best friend works for has been working tirelessly since the storm. He finally got back home for a short stretch and sent me a bunch of images, video, and updates. At this point they are just trying to convince people to leave the area because it's going to be literally months before the roads and power are back in order.

Just so you guys know where it's going, I'll be selling the BTC and sending fiat to the organization below, and there's a paypal link on their website if you want to simply pay them directly to help out. They will use it for helicopter fuel, supplies, equipment, staff, etc.

Below again is the BTC address, and also all of the zaps that you send to me for the month (maybe for longer) will all go directly to this as well. Thank you so much to everyone who has donated so far 🙏

Just wanted to start by saying how much I love your client—seriously, you’re an amazing dev, and it’s a privilege to use Nostur. It’s my favorite iOS client and my daily-driver.

Personally though, I’d rather you keep it as Nostur for now rather than another Nos related name. Change the name when you’re ready for a rebranding/design sprint down the road. I think it’d be pretty exciting to release all that at once.

Regrading names: The reason I’m a die-hard Nostur fan is because it’s always got the latest features, it’s fast, and reliable. You’ve kept it true to being a nimble open-source client and have been connected to the broader Nostr ecosystem. You were the first (and for the most part still only) iOS dev to incorporate features like NIP-23, Nests, zap.stream, lists, etc etc. Nostur kind of reminds me of a root, vine, or nerve (or maybe an octopus?)—fluid, has the potential to grow in any direction, able to move and transform in its environment and absorb important “nutrients” from its surroundings.

Things that come to mind for me are: Tendril, Rhizome (or Rizome), Synapse, Dendrite, Dendryx. Some Octopus related ones could be tako, polpo, kraken.

Anyway, feel free to ignore my mostly unsolicited advice. You’re doing fucking awesome job with the client and you’ve got some extremely loyal users. Don’t stop!


So your fork basically censors nostr:npub1g6ghj36a9y9d6p4vz4rq6z8rwrqxm6evllnlhkt26e55h9y0q6psv4hu7v ? 😂


What was the bug, and were you able to fix it?


I’m pretty left curve when it comes to reading films, but it’s awesome to see some #mednostr here 🙌


Hey nostr:npub1vp8fdcyejd4pqjyrjk9sgz68vuhq7pyvnzk8j0ehlljvwgp8n6eqsrnpsw - i was trying to explain to nostr:npub1hudtuvkqr970j7s4lgsqf937wjme7khntgt99zdzrsxd05ax3lyqzlvgug how many (most) of the clients being built on Nostr are open source and that anyone can fork a client and build off of it. I remember Tony had done that with Amethyst bc of censorship concerns but I don’t think it exists anymore… So I used notprimal.lol as an example. Do you mind explaining why you forked it, and what if anything is different about it?


Welcome! Doesn’t compare, this place is much more genuine. You’re going to love it here.

nostr:npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l that was a great episode - even set myself a reminder for a year from now to watch out for the euphoria. I want to hear more about your decision to go Nostr only though!


This bot, or one like it was around maybe a year ago I think. Some devs moved to gift wrapping DMs (I believe Amethyst and Coracle) but many didn’t. There was talk of adopting Simplex’s protocol for DMs but that never happened either.

Honestly, I think stuff like this is great to push issues that need to be resolved (and a good reminder not to use Nostr DMs for anything serious).


The beatings will continue until the metadata leak issue is solved.

Ah got it… that may be an issue with how Damus notifies people tagged on a note about a zap. Tagging nostr:npub1zafcms4xya5ap9zr7xxr0jlrtrattwlesytn2s42030lzu0dwlzqpd26k5 here to see if this is the case.


Anytime!


Yes if it didn’t go to one of your wallets then it should fail.  I’d reach out to Seth to confirm. He should be able to check the invoice.


Do you know who sent it to you? It may not have gone through. You can see zaps received here and I unfortunately don’t see anything that big. https://nostr.band/npub1jdtdqz9tyf4tdvy2k0rnjqz5dv5rd3yvw5nlpefn9syjqx37dhyqxwh0c8?overview=zaps-received


What was the receive wallet that you had set up previously? Have you checked that?

Some relays cache old profile data so if your wallet changes were recent then some zaps could have still gone to your previous lightning address.


Complain less. Contribute more.


Even though you don’t have your wallet set up to zap in Damus, your profile still has a receive wallet set-up to your primal address. You should still be receiving zaps there.

I still want a zap to DM filter for people who I don’t follow. All DMs go to spam unless sats attached. No joke, I get about 10 texts a day from medical healthcare staffing companies. In fact.. I got one as I was typing this note. Nostr and Bitcoin could fix unsolicited spam like this.

Sorry I missed all this, most of your shitposts don’t make my timeline (see above) 🤣 ￼


Value is the algorithm; value is my filter.


Why are Bitcoin meet-ups and conferences the happiest places to go to? Why is nostr the happiest place on the internet?

Moral clarity. When you have moral clarity, you sleep soundly at night. You don’t grapple with subconscious demons, questioning your life choices. That’s what we have.

You’re at peace, and from that peace, you find a lightness of being and joy.

And that happiness is infectious. We have an opportunity to bring more into our midst and spread this uncontrollable feeling.


Eastern TN, Western NC, upstate SC are rekt. Hundreds of roads in Western NC simply no longer exist.

The state and federal response has been ongoing, with over 1,000 personnel, including National Guard assets, deployed according to FEMA. A disaster declaration for NC has been made but crews cannot traverse over collapsed bridges and 100+ foot ravines.

Main interstates I-40 and I-26 have collapsed sections. Numerous state roads have washed away.

Many secondary roads into neighborhoods are effectively eviscerated for miles. Survivors can't get out, help can't get in.

It's hard to get into Asheville. A 30 minute drive take 8-12 hours with many roads not existing, the remaining gas stations swamped. To get into smaller towns in the mountains is a day's journey if possible at all. National Guard trucks with food and water have to stop at collapses.

Similar to Hurricane Katrina, where boats and helicopters were the only viable means of aid delivery in the first days, air support is currently the most effective way to connect Western NC to the outside world. There are a limited amount of helicopters operating. Although the water has receded, the roads are still impassable.

This is still very much an active search and rescue mission. There is a high number of missing (in the thousands per state media) because people can't get in touch with loved ones. We saw this after Hurricane Ian as well, and expect that number will drop significantly when phone service/internet returns. For death toll and recovery, the final number will likely not be known for at least a month.

The lack of media presence on the ground isn't for lack of trying - reporters can't get into many areas for the same reason rescue can't. Even if they could, communication systems are destroyed / offline.

This is not going to be a quick recovery for anyone. Some rural parts of Western NC may never be rebuilt.


Prost! 🍻

I put our conversation in ChatGPT and this is what it spit out:

Based on your conversation and the input from Doc, Sleepy, and others, here's a potential framework for your meme competition that addresses the challenges you've identified, like the issue of fairness, voting methods, and the selection of judges.

### **1. Judging Panel Structure**
- **Rotating Judges**: As suggested, the winners from each week (1st, 2nd, and 3rd place) can act as judges for the following week. This allows for more community involvement and keeps fresh perspectives in the judging panel.
- **Sponsor or Special Guest Judges**: Each week, include the sponsor or a guest judge from the community, such as a prominent figure (Doc, Corndalorian, etc.). This will keep the judging panel dynamic and connected to the broader community.
- **5 Judges Each Week**: The weekly judging panel should consist of 5 members (3 winners from the previous week + 2 chosen guests/sponsors), with a simple majority vote determining the winner.

### **2. Tournament-Style Format**
- **5-Week Tournament Cycle**:
  - **4 Weeks of Qualifiers**: Each week serves as a qualifying round for the final.
  - **Final in Week 5**: Only winners of the qualifying rounds can participate. A separate, larger prize for the final will make it exciting and competitive.
  - **Weekly Prize**: Have consistent, smaller prize pools for the qualifiers and a larger one for the final.
  - **No Repeat Wins in Qualifiers**: To encourage more participation and fairness, a participant can only win once in the qualifiers. However, they can still participate in the final if they’ve won a previous qualifier.

### **3. Criteria for Judging Memes**
Here’s a breakdown of specific categories that can be used for scoring memes, which could help the panel think systematically:

- **Humor/Entertainment (10 points)**: How funny or entertaining is the meme? Does it elicit laughter or a strong reaction from the audience?

- **Creativity/Originality (10 points)**: Is the meme unique or does it provide a fresh take on a familiar theme? Did the contestant create something new or remix an existing meme format in a clever way?

- **Relevance to Theme (10 points)**: How well does the meme align with the theme of the week (if applicable)? Does it relate to the broader conversation or topic of the contest?

- **Visual Appeal (5 points)**: Is the meme visually striking? This includes image quality, use of colors, and overall aesthetic appeal.

- **Shareability/Viral Potential (5 points)**: Would the meme perform well if shared more widely? Does it have the potential to go viral?

- **Cultural Awareness (5 points)**: Does the meme avoid being offensive while still being playful or edgy?

Total possible score: **45 points**
The panel can score each meme on these criteria, and the highest-scoring meme wins. If there’s a tie, the panel can vote again, or a tiebreaker criterion (such as most zaps or reactions) could be used.

### **4. Community Involvement (Zaps/Reactions)**
Instead of solely relying on zaps and reactions (which can be spoofed or influenced by large accounts), community voting can be incorporated as a **weighted factor**:
- **Zaps or Reactions as a Judge Vote Equivalent**: The meme with the most zaps can be given the same weight as one judge’s vote, or it can break a tie.
- **Separate People’s Choice Award**: Alternatively, have a separate “People’s Choice Award” based solely on community reactions, allowing for some community input without it being the primary factor in deciding the winner.

### **5. Logistics for Running the Competition**
- **Submission Deadline**: Define when memes must be submitted each week.
- **Judging Period**: Allow judges 1–2 days to review and score memes.
- **Results Announcement**: Announce winners at the end of each week and reveal who the judges will be for the next round.

### **6. Example Judging Sheet for Each Judge**

| Meme Entry   | Humor (10) | Creativity (10) | Relevance (10) | Visual Appeal (5) | Shareability (5) | Cultural Awareness (5) | Total (45) |
|--------------|------------|-----------------|----------------|-------------------|------------------|------------------------|------------|
| Meme #1      | 8          | 9               | 10             | 4                 | 4                | 5                      | 40         |
| Meme #2      | 10         | 7               | 8              | 5                 | 3                | 4                      | 37         |

### **7. Fairness & Visibility**
To address the concerns about visibility:
- **Equal Promotion**: Ensure all submissions receive equal exposure through reposts and engagement. Judges and prominent figures can help promote all entries so everyone has a fair chance of being seen.
- **Focus on Quality Over Quantity**: Reinforce that the quality and humor of the meme matter more than just how many likes or zaps it gets.

### **8. Final Tournament Structure**
- Once the weekly rounds are over, the final contest will only involve the weekly winners.
- Have a new set of judges for the final, possibly made up of prominent community members or invited guests.

This framework should help formalize the process while keeping it fun and inclusive, addressing both the judging fairness and the issue of uneven visibility in decentralized platforms like Nostr.

Let me know if you’d like any further refinements!


I like this idea a lot. Solves your problem of not having judges and can incorporate a lot of the stuff we discussed with regards to judging criteria.


No what I said was to have a panel of judges, but one of the judging criteria (out if many) is what the community thinks based on likes/zaps/comments, etc. I don’t think you should get rid of community preference altogether. I just don’t think you should solely rely on reactions to judge this thing.


Well that’s not as important as moving away from using only reactions to choose winners imo


Like I said, I’m happy to help out and judge. But I still would want to see a formalized approach to this. Put something together, publish it in the open and get feedback.

If you’re going to have judges then you might want to come up with a “scorecard” for them to fill out. The other idea I thought of which could be cool is having people submit anonymously and then your Nostr Memes account just posts all of the memes for people to see and react to.

I’m honestly ok with keeping one of the criteria “likes/zaps” because then it takes into account what the overall community thinks as well besides just individual judges.


I Made This
https://m.primal.net/LFna.mov


I’m happy to judge, but selfishly I like making memes so wouldn’t want to do it EVERY week. But I would like to see a more formalized, hashed-out proposal for how this would work. Maybe come up with a working panel of people to help define some of these logistics. I know I’ve spoken to nostr:npub1lrnvvs6z78s9yjqxxr38uyqkmn34lsaxznnqgd877j4z2qej3j5s09qnw5 about how this would work in the past. I’m sure he could give his input as well.

As for specific criteria for judging a meme, I think it is obviously very subjective but you could also come up with specific categories to help the judges think through it systematically (eg, How did the contestants incorporate the subject, how original was it, visual appeal, viral potential, clarity, etc).


I think before deciding on who would be a judge, get some proposals for how you’re going to do it. How many judges? Do they rotate? Does the sponsor get to be a guest judge? How much weight to zaps? How much weight to reactions? What criteria do you judge on (if any)? Etc


Haha who spun this up again? Maybe it’ll help push to fix the metadata leak issue this time.


Exposure is important to promote #nostrmemes and get people to participate in the contest. But variability in reach will always unfairly advantage large accounts and will make it less fun for new nostriches. Basing the contest on reactions on a decentralized protocol doesn’t really make sense. They can be spoofed easily, and missed easily (based on the relays you’re using). Should be a panel with judges, and maybe have most zaps hold the same weight as one judge on the panel.

This way people can repost all they want and give exposure to the contest without muddying the water. People can try and spoof reactions and zaps as much as they want but a bad meme won’t win over an entire panel of judges.


You provide some visibility. But you alone don’t level the playing field.


Yea visibility impacts a contest that is based on likes which is his point


People trust doctors too much 🤣

Not trying to be ignorant about this… but is Satlantis a Nostr client? If so how? Does it use the communities NIP or anything like that? I see Nostr login on the site but I never see any events published from users in my feed.


Very cool. How did it taste?


Just clicked on that https://pod.link link you have on your site. That’s a nice tool… but they need to add nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5 !

Dead on… there still isn’t even a proper solution for key management for new users who don’t yet understand what private keys are. I have faith that it will come and that in time we will build tools and apps that take advantage of sovereignty of your social graph.

The magic will come one day where there are a group of users who don’t even know that that they’re using Nostr, and don’t care about censorship resistance. At some point they’ll realize that their private keys can open the doors to so much more than they ever imagined.


Just found out about your service today, very cool! I only see two nodes available currently. What happened to the third?

Also, what happens at the end of the time period? Is the channel just closed at the predetermined closing fee?

Why is that? Does it have to do with the way apps interact with each other on Android vs iOS?


That’s dope


The Amber signing app by nostr:npub1w4uswmv6lu9yel005l3qgheysmr7tk9uvwluddznju3nuxalevvs2d0jr5 is incredible. It’s seamless, doesn’t get in the way, and keeps your keys secure.

Why is there no iOS equivalent? Is there a reason that it can’t be developed on that platform?

Last night I had the pleasure of sitting down with Caitlin Long, Founder and CEO of Custodia - a fully reserved bank providing banking services to bitcoin companies, to discuss an affidavit written by Elaine Hetrick of Silvergate Bank. Elaine is the Chief Administrative Officer of Silvergate and wrote an affidavit, a sworn testimony subject to perjury, in which she detailed the events that led to Silvergate voluntarily winding down their business and returning deposits to their customers.

This affidavit is a bombshell because it confirms speculation that Silvergate was solvent in early 2023 and wasn't shut down because of bad risk management on behalf of the bank's management team, but instead was forced to shutter its doors because the Biden Administration, with strong influence from Senator Elizabeth Warren, forced Silvergate's hand because they didn't like that they were banking digital asset companies.

For those who are a bit fuzzy on the details of the narratives that were flying around Silvergate at the time, I'll jog your memory. FTX was a customer of Silvergate's at the time their Ponzi scheme unraveled. As FTX was blowing up, everyone and their mother was scrambling to get their money out of Silvergate because they assumed that since one of the bank's largest counterparties was going bust, the bank must be in trouble too. A sane decision. Especially considering the history of systemically non-important financial institutions this century.

Unless you were paying close attention during this time, you were likely under the impression that Silvergate was a typical fractionally reserved bank that was experiencing a run that led to its inevitable demise. The media made it seem this way. The regulators made it seem this way. And one pompous short seller made it seem this way. However, nothing could be further from the truth.
Here are the most important parts of the affidavit:

>
Silvergate had stabilized, was able to make regulatory capital requirements, and had the capability to continue to serve its customers that had kept their deposits with Silvergate Bank.

Despite this, regulators decided to turn the pressure up and essentially gave Silvergate Bank, and Signature Bank as well, an ultimatum; drastically change your business models immediately by dropping your digital asset customer base or we'll shut you down. There were no hard numbers described in Elaine's testimony, but rumors are that the regulators wanted Silvergate to quickly shrink their exposure to digital asset-related clients to less than 15% of their capital base. At the time, Silvergate's customer base was made up almost entirely of digital asset companies (99.5% to be exact).

The regulators were asking Silvergate to do something that was quite literally impossible given the circumstances. Faced with an impossible task, on March 8th of 2023 Silvergate decided to voluntarily wind down their operations and return deposits back to their customers.

Let's be very clear here, Silvergate did not lose a single penny of customer deposits due to the run on their bank. Management, understanding the volatile nature of the digital asset markets, designed their risk management and capital allocation strategies in a way that would enable them to return dollars to any customer who requested them. And that's exactly what they did when customers came to request their money. They returned EVERY SINGLE PENNY.

This begs the question, "Why did they essentially force Silvergate to shut down?" They seemed to be running a very responsible operation after all. You'd think the regulators would applaud Silvergate's vigilance in risk management on behalf of their customer base. How many banks would have been able to do the same thing if put in the same situation? Probably not many.

The answer to this question is already well known throughout the industry, but Elaine Hetrick's testimony adds some hard evidence that makes it undeniable; Elizabeth Warren, the SEC, the FDIC and the Federal Reserve have been acting in concert to unconstitutionally and extrajudicially target the bitcoin and broader digital asset industry because they do not believe that it should exist. It is a threat to their power structure. The financial system, as it is designed today, gives those who would like to centrally plan the economy and micromanage the lives of American citizens a ton of power. Bitcoin is a threat to that power and they have to do everything in their power to prevent its proliferation.

The targeting of the industry was also confirmed by the aftermath of the NYDFS and FDIC uncharacteristically taking Signature Bank behind the woodshed in the evening of Sunday, March 20th, 2023, despite the fact that Barney Frank and others at the bank were convinced they could handle withdraws come market open the next day.

Signature Bank was ultimately sold to Flagstar Bank. However, they were forced to spin out their digital asset-related accounts before doing so.

This public signaling and sudden regulatory shift made clear that, at least as of the first quarter of 2023, the Federal Bank Regulatory Agencies would not tolerate banks with significant concentrations of digital asset customers, ultimately preventing Silvergate Bank from continuing its digital asset focused business model.

Pretty damning if you ask me. Also, very frustrating and most definitely illegal.

Elizabeth Warren and her gaggle of hall monitors across alphabet soup agencies and the Federal Reserve have been on one massive, unconstitutional, power trip for the last four years. They've besmirched bitcoin and those of us working hard to ensure that the United States of America leads the way forward as bitcoin adoption continues at every turn. Good people striving to make the world a better place.

No one is a better example of this than Alan Lane, the former CEO of Silvergate Bank. I consider Alan a friend and feel supremely confident when I say that he is one of the nicest and thoughtful people I have met in this industry. A man who followed his passion to bring legitimacy and much needed banking services to an industry that the incumbents refused to touch. And he did bring legitimacy. As I explained earlier, Alan and his team understood the volatile nature of the industry and built their firm in a way that took this volatility into account. Silvergate did not fail, they were forced to shut down by Elizabeth Warren and her acolytes at the regulatory agencies.

What's worse, Warren's vendetta against bitcoin and the digital asset industry incited the largest banking crisis this country had seen since 2008. Silvergate and Signature being taken behind the woodshed put everyone on their toes and bank runs started across the country. This led to the failure of First Republic, Silicon Valley Bank and a couple of smaller banks, forced the Fed to step in with their emergency BTFP program, and burdened taxpayers with $40B in FDIC costs that needed to be absorbed as a result. If it weren't for the bailouts things would have gotten completely out of control. All because Elizabeth Warren wants to live in a world in which we are forced to use CBDCs and unable to opt-in to bitcoin.

The euthanasia of Silvergate and Signature are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Chokepoint 2.0.

Caitlin Long and Custodia have been in a years long battle with the Federal Reserve to receive a Fed master account so that they can properly serve their customers. For those who are unaware, Custodia is a full-reserve bank that exist to serve bitcoin and digital asset businesses as well as other adjacent businesses like fintechs, banks and funds. Custodia is a chartered bank and special purpose depository institution that has built custody services so that customers can hold bitcoin within their bank accounts alongside their dollar accounts.

Like Silvergate and Signature, Custodia has been singled out and unlawfully denied a master account with the Fed because the Federal Reserve doesn't want a bank like Custodia to exist. Either because they worry about the ramifications of the introduction of a full-reserve bank into a system dominated by fractional-reserve banks or they simply do not want to see bitcoin succeed. If we're being honest, it's probably a combination of the two.

Despite what we, or anyone else, thinks about the potential effect a bank like Custodia could have on the market if it's granted a master account, the Fed's actions are unconstitutional in this case as well. This was made pretty clear (but yet to be determined by a court) in an amicus brief written by Paul Clement on behalf of Custodia earlier this Summer. The Fed is actively undermining the dual-banking system that was set up in this country to enable competition between state chartered banks and the Federal Reserve system.

In the case of Custodia, the Federal Reserve is exhibiting expansive discretionary power that it has never shown before. Custodia is a state chartered special purpose depository institution in the state of Wyoming. Historically, it would be trivial for this type of state chartered bank to get a master account with the Fed. But for whatever reason (we know the reason) the Fed has been denying Custodia their right to this account for a number of years. To the point where Custodia was forced to sue the Federal Reserve and take their case to the courts.

What's interesting about the saga of Custodia and the Fed is that it has forced Custodia's legal team to dig in and highlight where the Fed is overextending its reach and acting arbitrarily.  In the amicus brief that was published in July of this year, Paul Clement argues that the way Federal Reserve Bank presidents are chosen is unconstitutional when you take into consideration the fact the these Fed branch presidents are unilaterally undermining state banking laws by denying master accounts.

If they are going to unilaterally undermine state banking laws they need to be appointed by the President or an official acting on behalf of the Executive Branch. Federal Reserve Bank presidents aren't appointed by the President of the United States or any official acting with the authority of the Executive Branch. Instead, they are appointed by their boards, which are controlled by the privately held commercial banks who own them. The Federal Reserve system is clearly acting unconstitutionally when they deny Custodia from being assigned a master account.

The people in power within the federal government and the Federal Reserve system are actively targeting the bitcoin and digital asset industry, acting extrajudicially and making a mockery of the rule of law in the United States. They are completely out of control and it is important that everyone who cares about the future of bitcoin in the United States and the future of the United States more broadly (even if you don't like bitcoin) speaks out and fights against these totalitarians as vehemently as possible. What they are doing is wrong. It's unconstitutional. And it is putting the future of our country at risk.

If the federal government, the regulators and the Federal Reserve do not get out of the way and let law abiding citizens build the businesses they want and associate with businesses they want, those businesses will go elsewhere and the United States will be set back generations as a result.

It's time to put these people in their place and let it be known that freedom will reign supreme in the Land of the Free. Fight!

nostr has no global source of truth, and that is a good thing

Out of interest, I follow the progress of a lot of other projects similar to nostr, and a couple links surfaced today:

BlueSky has a big "firehose" connection that streams all updates (new posts, reactions, etc) to subscribers. Unsurprisingly, this is difficult to process except on beefy servers with lots of bandwidth. So, one proposed solution is to strip out all that pesky cryptography (signatures, merkle tree data, etc): https://jazco.dev/2024/09/24/jetstream/

And over on Farcaster, keeping their hubs in sync is too difficult, so they want to make all posts globally sequenced, like a blockchain. The details are still being worked out, but I think it's safe to assume there will be a privileged global sequencer who decides on this ordering (and possibly which posts are included at all): https://github.com/farcasterxyz/protocol/discussions/193

In my opinion, both of these issues are symptoms of an underlying errant philosophy. These projects both want there to be a global source of truth: A single place you can go to guarantee you're seeing all the posts on a thread, from a particular user, etc. On BlueSky that is https://bluesky.app and on Farcaster that is https://warpcast.com .

Advocates of each of these projects of course would dispute this, pointing out that you could always self-host, or somehow avoid depending on their semi-official infrastructure, but the truth is that if you're not on bluesky.app or warpcast.com, you don't exist, and nobody cares that you don't exist.

nostr has eschewed the concept of global source of truth. You can't necessarily be sure you are seeing everything. Conversations may sometimes get fragmented, posts may disappear, and there may be the occasional bout of confusion and chaos. There is no official or semi-official nostr website, app, or relay, and this is a good thing. It means we are actually building a decentralised protocol, not just acting out decentralisation theatre, or pretending we'll get there eventually and that the ends justify the means.

Back when computers were primitive and professional data-centres didn't exist, it was impossible to build mega-apps like Twitter. Protocols had to be decentralised by default -- there was simply no other way. We can learn a lot by looking back to protocols of yesteryear, like Usenet and IRC, and still-popular protocols like email and HTTP. None of these assume global sources of truth, and they are stronger and better for it, as is nostr.

It’s still always shocking to me that we have easy access to 30y fixed-rate mortgages in the States. A few years ago I did a cash out refi at 2.85% and did my part to attack the USD. Since then we’ve moved, but if rates come down again I may have to repeat.

I think dealing with annoying people at work carried over a bit 😂


While I’m a strong believer in mind-body-medicine techniques, the immune system requires challenges to create an arsenal of defenses against threats commonly encountered in its environment. So while this spammer was annoying AF for pretty much everyone, the knee jerk reaction to bitch about it instead of accepting the challenge and building defenses is like a harmful autoimmune reaction.


GM. Trained immunity and exposure to minor pathogens is an important step to creating a robust immune system. Stop being bubble boy bitches.

Pretty sure he’s been saying this for a long time, nothing new. Personally, I think there will always be a role for credit, even with a hard fixed supply asset. Risk and therefore interest rates will be much higher in a deflationary system, but I think due diligence and reputation will take on much bigger role than it does in today’s credit based economy where banks are incentivized to print money and hand out loans to anyone with a pulse.

What’s wrong with Reason?


He probably isn’t even running his own node 😜


Bitcoin conferences don't need more women-only events to attract more women to the space. What they actually need is to encourage all women to participate in all events, rather than isolating them.

We often complain that men don’t know how to treat us or don't engage with women.

But instead of isolating ourselves at exclusive brunches, why don't we show up, make ourselves visible, and let them know we're here? It’s uncomfortable to be alone, but it’s easier to lead by example when we're together in numbers.

Men also have a responsibility to call out inappropriate behavior. However, isolating ourselves doesn’t create a truly safe space; it creates a bubble.


The Flippening theme song is some catchy shit 🎵

If you're trying to grow your NOSTR profile and are focused on posting new content, you're missing out.

commenting on other people's stuff is the way

think about it. there's no Discovery tool for people to find new accounts that are posting and everyone who is posting is starving for engagement.

This has been the same for growing an account on X, but it's even more drastic here.

Also, how about a secondary hosting platform. Right now it’s centralizing to Nostr.build. Shouldn’t they also be uploaded to another service? Can the alternate url be added to the NIP-94 metadata after it’s been uploaded?


Planning on doing it tonight after I get home from work 💪


Nice workout, I’ll try it. For the db snatch is that 10 per side?


I took your advice and built a gif nostr companion app:
https://gifbuddy.lol/

You can download the PWA to your home screen, search for your gif, copy the address and paste it into your client

On the back end, for every gif that gets copied/clicked, an API request is made to upload to  nostr:npub1nxy4qpqnld6kmpphjykvx2lqwvxmuxluddwjamm4nc29ds3elyzsm5avr7 by  nostr:npub137c5pd8gmhhe0njtsgwjgunc5xjr2vmzvglkgqs5sjeh972gqqxqjak37w

From there a nip94 request is done so that the content can be accessed by any client in the future

Now, anyone who searches for gifs using this tool is also helping to build the gif repository for nip94 and adding fallback urls to nostr.build

And all they did was click to copy #gifs

The thing with #value4value is that you do not determine how others value your work; they do. You can only determine the value you’re willing to give. If you are not receiving back the value you expect, then you either need to create something else, or find a new/different audience that does value your current work the way you do.

🤣 I know. I already told nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr about the bug


Storm of Satoshi - The Brief History of #Zapathon

This is a long form article, you can read it in https://habla.news/a/naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzqkcpsw4kc03j906dg8rt8thes432z3yy0d6fj4phylz48xs3g437qqxnzdejxsunvvf4xymrvvfk77w5tq

Nostr community will continue to grow over time which does lend merit to a brief history lesson to avoid confusion. With this said I would like to offer the origin of #Zapathon and how it's evolved over time.

In February of 2023 we were just getting the hang of zapping within the Nostr Protocol. Prior to the invention of zaps we were posting invoices to pay which clearly was inefficient yet entertaining in this new frontier we had grown to appreciate.

Nostr was just starting to take off via the Lightning Network and one wallet was gaining steam as the de facto zap speed leader. That wallet was Wallet of Satoshi (WoS). Custodial or not, the ease of use and instant “no kyc” sign up it gained attention among the plebs. So much so that one day in February their system was becoming bogged down with Nostr zaps.

On February 27th WoS posted this -
https://image.nostr.build/c90b6867a87f9b6aa1d8c75e10650ac78378caa44d5571a40d3596f8f39e6a5d.png

This got me thinking…. ok, they upgraded their system. They think they are good now. Would if we pushed it further. Afterall, if Nostr will continue growing, zaps will too. From that moment the #Zapathon planning was initiated.

On March 2nd, 2023 it began with this post -
https://image.nostr.build/f658d5ca29fb595cfdfb8b89dd6d6b5db3a1d2ee3c5853ec4f30ada8d104049e.jpg

From that 15 minutes of success the pleb community catered the format. #Zapathon was scheduled weekly, every Thursday / Friday 5PM EST for 30 Minutes of non stop zapping. The sat amount wasn't the goal, the frequency of zaps was. This laid the ground game for the following weeks ahead.

Wallet of Satoshi was an admirable foe. They continued to provoke and give network feedback as we went back and forth shutting them down or falling short. It was a mutual beneficial stress test for Nostr and WoS.

https://image.nostr.build/daa126bf5acaec168836d578429d72fe595c20140ff6e6d6c4ac2f8fbeec68de.png

The battles were intense and rewarding from a community perspective. It was a match to gasoline on the meme culture. We used Pablo's ZapLife.LOL as a leaderboard to inspire competion. We had goals, we had motivation and we were all working together to build the network for tomorrow.

After some time the momentum shifted, Apple banned Zaps on Damus and Wallet of Satoshi removed themselves from the USA app stores. #Zapathon just wasn't what it had been. But nonetheless we had the memories, we have the stories. We had a concept for the future.

The concept of #Zapathon today is used for fun, in a more ambiguous fashion. Sometimes used on a special occassion, to test new client integrations or large migrations to enrich the community zap culture for newcomers. A fun way to express that we are different. A global community that transacts frictionless on freedom tech with freedom money.

#Zapathon is not dead. it's a sleeping giant. Until then, I hope you enjoyed the brief history lesson.

This is the funniest thing I’ve read today.

Is this guy seriously questioning  nostr:npub1lrnvvs6z78s9yjqxxr38uyqkmn34lsaxznnqgd877j4z2qej3j5s09qnw5’s contributions to Nostr?He’s one of the most prolific memers on the platform, offering sharp insights from a user’s perspective while also possessing a deep understanding of the technical aspects of Nostr, Lightning, and Bitcoin. He’s probably helped onboard hundreds of new users to Nostr, helping them set up their accounts and zaps. On top of that, we launched the nostr:npub19mduaf5569jx9xz555jcx3v06mvktvtpu0zgk47n4lcpjsz43zzqhj6vzk in January 2023 to keep the community informed about the rapid advancements being made by developers and dedicated a full year of blood, sweat, tears and money to the project.

How else do you recommend he dedicate his time and energy to this protocol?

Our 3yo came into our bed at 330a so I slept on the floor. I’m shocked… my back feels fantastic. May have to start doing this regularly 🙆♂


There are those who come here with certain expectations (images don't load, can't find users, DM privacy sucks, no blue checkmarks, ...) and a conflicted mind that doesn't let them enjoy the freedom of chaos. They need it to be wrong and broken so they can handle the dissonance when going back to Elon's private global hellscape.

Then there are those who come and see an infinite space of possibilities and also challenges, they see the beauty in the chaos. They know that this protocol owes them exactly nothing.

They ask: what can I do with nostr what has never been done before? And slowly they realize how big this question really is.


Not just any maxi… a Bitcoin Ma𝕏i


Nostr is like that, plus Spotify (nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5 ), Substack (nostr:npub1w0rthyjyp2f5gful0gm2500pwyxfrx93a85289xdz0sd6hyef33sh2cu4x ), AllRecipes (nostr:npub1xxdd8eusvdxmaph3fkuu9x2mymhrcc3ghe2l38zv0l4f4nqp659qskkt7a ), and so anything else you can imagine.


So many nostr doomers posting about it on Twitter. Make me smile.

My wife only asks me about the fiat price of bitcoin every few weeks. And every time it’s the same…


Hey everyone I'm a registered massage therapist just checking out this nostr thing, who are some people to follow? #introductions https://i.nostr.build/ujiGrefdth1TuW55.jpg


I personally use Nos2X on Firefox which keeps your nsec client side. I thought Alby’s signing extension did the same but I may be mistaken.


Bracing for the wave of Twitter ‘experts’ on #nostr telling us what to do…

I am not here for money; I am here for change 🫡


You're absolutely right. More importantly, Nostr allows for a true V4V model. The meme was about the hypocrisy of BT influencers who rely solely on centralized platforms for income, yet claim they understand the censorship resistant properties of nostr (and still fail to use it in a meaningful way).


Zaps on Nostr can create some really interesting marketing opportunities for companies trying to gain users. Let's try an experiment:

For every user who zaps or reposts this, I will DM you $1 in credit for use on PPQ.AI.

Not sure it’s broken down like that, but you can check out https://nostr.watch/


I refuse to like, but take my sats. Sweet card!


I will give one of our limited edition nostr:npub1g3ra9r7duxrh8q0l2l08ku73ptdfgr0z376mvc2earlfhm6s6xxss8lnnz nostr:npub1yjryjq2kdganuc69zme9agk0q4rjcnlxel3fwp3xm9z68phsxngsqd33a9 ‘The Liberator’ cards to two people who ❤ and ♻ this post. If over 100 people ❤/♻ I will add a third card.

Glad I left that shit behind along with the pure NGU crown on BT


There’s much more at stake here. You are cryptographically signing everything that you say and the lack of delete options makes Nostr more authentic, like an IRL conversation. There are no take-backs.


Followid #docchain


We had a telegram group last year called #docchain …given recent events might want to use nostr:npub1tm99pgz2lth724jeld6gzz6zv48zy6xp4n9xu5uqrwvx9km54qaqkkxn72 or another Nostr native group messaging client instead
