One problem that people face is that they box themselves into narrative corners and echo chambers.

"Not your keys not your coins" is a good one-sentence explainer to tell people to be careful about custodians, especially in such a nascent industry. It's powerful and memorable. Couldn't be said better.

But then some people take that to mean nobody should ever use any custodial service under any circumstances ever. You got $200 in a custodial Lightning app because it's faster and easier than alternatives? You've failed the purity test. You're in a developing country and want to save $100 worth of bitcoin? Better do it on-chain, otherwise it's not yours!

But then some of the same people resist a block size increase to keep the network decentralized (a good thing, imo) and also say that bitcoin will fix the world (I think it can).

But while all reasonable statements on their own, the issue is that statements 1, 2, and 3 don't add up when taken to their extreme.  It has been written about since the time of Nakamoto and Finney on Bitcoin Talk forums that Bitcoin would need to scale in layers.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2500.msg34211#msg34211

So any statement about "Not your keys not your coins" has to be paired with an alternative solution, or a spectrum of alternatives. What if someone can't fit into the one of the only tens of millions of on-chain transactions per month? What if $35 fees is high for the $200 in bitcoin they want to save?

Is holding your bitcoin on an 11-of-15 multisig (Liquid) okay, in exchange for lower fees, faster block times, better privacy, and some additional features? Depending on the amount, I would say yes. It has trade-offs, though, which have to be made clear.

What about a Chaumian mint? What if an app lets a community in South Africa set up a 5-of-9 multisig run by well-known people in the community who would face consequences if they break trust? And the same app can let a smaller community in Guatemala set up a 4-of-7 multisig? And a bigger multi-country 6-of-11 multisig can be set up as well? It's private, interacts with Lightning as seamlessly as Wallet of Satoshi, and can make in-person payments even when the internet is out briefly. Plus, it can be customized via open source add-on modules by the community running the specific mint so that it can also store private data for users, monitor reserves, monitor health of the multisig keys, run applications like Chat GPT payable in bitcoin per usage, run private DMs and group chats, run apps that show you local merchants that accept bitcoin, etc. And what if a user could, within the same app, seamlessly spread their funds out among a handful of different mints that they know pretty well to avoid having all of their eggs in one basket, and then pull into self-custody when above a certain amount?

Maybe there will be more softforks in the future. More flexible scripting to allow more share-ability of UTXOs, for example. But those require consensus, and they tend to come with some trade-offs or code risks, and so they take time.

Bitcoin is an engineering marvel. But it's not magic. It has limitations, and it has a spectrum of solutions for those limitations at any given time. The best solutions solve multiple problems at once: they add scalability, they add speed, they reduce fees, they add privacy, and they add flexibility/programmability all at once, while still being more distributed than trusting some centralized KYC entity.

Bitcoin is peer-to-peer open source money. But it's not infinitely scalable on the base chain. If it were greatly scaled up on the base chain to fit everyone, then only institutions would be able to run nodes and it would be greatly centralized and thus useless. So the solution, known from the start of the Bitcoin Talk forums, is to build additional peer-to-peer open source layers on top of it, allowing for a range of transaction sizes, a range of speeds, a range of privacy, and a range of programmability, all to serve different users' needs, and without compromising the decentralization and security of the base chain. That's the type of statement that needs to be provided along with "not your keys not your coins" for the full context to make sense.

middleclass plebs: bitcoin is broken!

The global south: welcome to our world.


GOOD MORNING WILL, MEMPOOLS WILL NEVER CLEAR AGAIN


There are 60 million millionaires in the world, and every single one of them has a store of value problem. And so does everyone else in the world.

The cost to ship a sizable amount of gold internationally costs hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars. Even if you just buy hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of gold domestically and bring it home, you're paying a spot markup of thousands of dollars. The cost to close a luxury mansion real estate deal (which many wealthy people just own and leave empty as a store of value) can be hundreds of thousands of dollars or more, and then depending on their jurisdiction they pay hundreds of thousands of dollars per year in property taxes on it. An international wire transfer often costs like $30 and takes days and is entirely permissioned/centralized/credit-based. Credit card fees are like 3%. The global banking industry generates hundreds of billions of dollars in fees per year even though it's all centralized.

Bitcoin is a decentralized global liquid store of value and settlement network. You can send money to any internet-connected person in the world generally in an hour or less depending on desired block confirmations. You can indefinitely self-custodially store value in a unit that is scarcer than gold and scarcer than real estate and that unlike both gold and real estate is globally portable. It currently costs like $35 to do this and everyone is losing their minds at how expensive that seems. But $35 is an *outstanding* price for this service, and in ten years I have no idea what the price will be but there are many scenarios where it could be way higher.

Right now, bitcoin fees are higher than normal because people are trading frogs on the timechain and so forth. But regardless, people need to be ready for the prospect of sustained high fees if bitcoin adoption continues to grow structurally with limited block space. This means users, developers, businesses, etc. To put it into this bigger context, fees are still insanely cheap compared to other alternatives listed above that give similar store of value and global payment properties at scale.

I'm a bit surprised fees haven't *already* been $35 on a regular basis by now. So to flip it around; fees aren't expensive because there are frogs on the timechain; fees are still cheap because relatively few people are using bitcoin to send and store money compared to the total addressable market that could be doing so.

Does this price out small users? Unfortunately, yes. That's where layers come in, and the options vary depending on if someone is a power user or not. Hal Finney wrote about that in 2010; it's not a new narrative.

A couple Lightning channels can open a lot of payment liquidity for you. Sidechains like Liquid didn't get much attention when fees were low but now people are giving them a second look. Chaumian mints allow communities around the world to set up their own community banks/custodians with built-in privacy.  Places like Cash App allow people to buy bitcoin with decent custodial assurances run by serious people (eg it's not some crazy-haired idiot in the Bahamas). These are all tools that people can use to have bitcoin price exposure, pay in bitcoin, etc. And a unique aspect of bitcoin is the ability to split control. Multi-institution multi-sigs, or federated sidechains: the fact that ownership can be broken into several different entities is not something available to gold or similar assets, and yet a lot of people take it for granted on bitcoin. These are all tools that businesses can offer and people can use for smaller amounts, and then pull into on-chain self-custody if they have a sizable balance for longer-term storage.

In the future, some soft forks or non-form upgrades might allow other types of models. I think the ecosystem is still in its infancy. But in the meantime, it helps to have perspective on what bitcoin offers compared to alternatives, and to be realistic about the long-run inevitability of substantial base-layer fees if any meaningful adoption becomes sustained, and thus the importance of preparing for them.

"TV was once mocked as a trivial pastime because it obscured the art of cinematography. Cinematography was a trivial pastime because it cheapened and vulgarized the art of the theater. The theater was a vulgar and cheap pastime of Victorians because it trivialized the great dramatic plays of the Romans and Ancient Greeks. You keep going down this path and you'll eventually arrive at Aristotle saying that philosophy is dead because nowadays the kids all want to watch dramatic presentations instead opf reading their philosophy books. He probably complained about their long hair, too. Every generation mistakes the medium for the value and considers the next iteration of the medium- that widens access, that opens availability, that broadens the range of expression- they consider that medium trivial, vulgar, cheapening the message."

Promoting Bitcoin adoption and understanding among friends and family can be a successful way to spread awareness and increase adoption of the cryptocurrency. Here are some ways individuals can effectively promote Bitcoin adoption and understanding among their friends and family, especially beginners:

1. Educate yourself first: Before trying to educate others, it's essential to have a good understanding of Bitcoin yourself. Read articles, watch videos, and take online courses to learn about Bitcoin's history, technology, and benefits.
2. Start with the basics: Begin by explaining the basics of Bitcoin, such as what it is, how it works, and why it's valuable. Use simple language and avoid technical jargon to avoid confusing your friends and family.
3. Use relatable examples: Use everyday examples to help your friends and family understand the concept of Bitcoin. For instance, you can explain that Bitcoin is like cash, but in digital form, or that it's like a gold coin, but without the physical weight.
4. Highlight the benefits: Explain the benefits of Bitcoin, such as its decentralized nature, lack of government control, and potential for high returns on investment. Emphasize how Bitcoin can provide an alternative to traditional financial systems and offer more control over personal finances.
5. Address concerns: Many people may have concerns about Bitcoin, such as its volatility, security, or lack of regulation. Address these concerns by providing information and data to alleviate their worries. For example, you can explain that Bitcoin's volatility can be a benefit for investors and that its decentralized nature makes it more secure than traditional currencies.
6. Show, don't tell: Instead of just talking about Bitcoin, show your friends and family how it works. Set up a Bitcoin wallet and show them how to buy, sell, and transfer Bitcoin. You can also demonstrate how to use Bitcoin for everyday purchases, such as buying coffee or paying bills.
7. Encourage experimentation: Encourage your friends and family to experiment with Bitcoin by setting up their own wallets and trying out different applications and services that accept Bitcoin.
8. Be patient and persistent: Promoting Bitcoin adoption can take time, so be patient and persistent in your efforts. Don't push your friends and family to invest in Bitcoin or try to convince them to switch entirely to Bitcoin. Instead, encourage them to learn more and try it out for themselves.
9. Share success stories: Share success stories of people who have benefited from Bitcoin, such as those who invested early and saw significant returns or those who use Bitcoin for everyday transactions. This can help inspire your friends and family to learn more and get involved.
10. Create a community: Finally, create a community of Bitcoin enthusiasts among your friends and family. Encourage them to share their experiences, ask questions, and learn from each other. This can help create a supportive environment where everyone can learn and grow together.

By following these tips, individuals can effectively promote Bitcoin adoption and understanding among their friends and family, especially beginners. Remember to be patient, persistent, and supportive, and to always be willing to help others learn more about this exciting and rapidly-growing technology.

transacting free on chain was a honeymoon period that will never come back

I am now a freelance bitcoin journalist, content creator and MC.

I stepped back from Cointelegraph as an employee on Monday.

Feels really really good.

I’ll earn less but it’s hopefully worth it.

I will still share content on their platform at times as I believe it’s worthwhile getting bitcoin only content on the largest crypto000 platform.

However, all documentaries, longer videos and educational/how to content will be published on my channels including Youtube.

Naturally I will be reaching out to sponsors. They must be bitcoin-first companies as well as products or services that I use on a day to day basis.

I’m also going to try to crack TikTok. I want to reach more normies in 2024.

Thank you for your support, Nostr frens.

You’ve been an important space for me to vent my frustration over the past year.

Ultimately, Nostr has helped me arrive at this decision.

Cheers to you all 💜

nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 https://image.nostr.build/0c40bc3d42b0eb5584c9b3fe532189395d32bccc5b49342f871546063217e9fe.jpg


I ran some usability tests on 3 nostr clients to get an idea of where new people are struggling. The testing was meant primarily for UI/UX issues. Keep in mind the same of people is small (10) so it may not give us a complete picture.

For each test, I took down notes and counted how many times people pointed out various issues. I then tallied them up to get a general idea of the problem areas:

Terminology issues - 19
UI issues - 15
Discovery issues - 12
Key issues - 12
Perception issues - 8
Lack of content - 5
Didn’t read - 4
Possible major bug - 3

Terminology refers to people who indicated being confused about some of the nostr terms. Among most confusing things were: Keys, relays, Nostr address, nostr, lightning address.

Except for one occasion, everyone was universally lost on those terms and did not have enough information to understand them. People didn’t even know what nostr is (understandably so given that the clients are not named nostr).

UI issues is a broad category of various UI problem areas. My summarized findings point out all of the issues users faced while trying the apps.

Perception issues is my way of defining how people are perceiving the apps. Most people compared them to Twitter. But some have attributed other things like “for trading bitcoin” or “for gambling” among other assigned purposes. Whether that’s an actual problem or not is up to developers to decide, but if you want your apps to appeal to everyone, that’s something to think about.

Discovery issues are where people couldn’t find what they were tasked with - for example finding interesting notes or people.

Key issues encompass a range of problems people ran into such as not knowing if their keys are saved, or how to recover them, or what they mean in the first place. One person logged in with their npub without write permissions and couldn’t do any other tasks, showing a lot of frustration in the process.

Lack of content is just that…

Didn’t read - means they skipped whatever screen was there just to sign up quickly.  Most people did not read, though one did. This is important because we need to think about how to make things easy to understand without much reading.

There were a bunch of bugs which could fall under UI issues, but on 3 occasions there were major bugs where the user could not do anything to advance forward. This underscores the importance of testing clients on various operating systems and browser configurations.

The current test findings are in a Google sheet, and I’m happy to share with any developer who’d like to see them. For testers’ privacy reasons I will not share a public link here. DM me if you’d like a link.

There's nothing wrong with spending money on something people feel is valuable to them. The stretch between incentivizing drug use and incentivizing donations or paid content is pretty far. Yes, incentives do matter. But the people are in control here. Not doctors and drug companies. Terrible example.

It's more a problem that donations aren't a business model at all. And where almost everything is opened source and client side, you're in a tough position. Now, you have notification and translation servers, monetize that. That's business. I get not wanting to run a relay as a client, but that's another. There's going to be plenty of services around nostr to monetize, so I agree that zap splits isn't it. I just don't align with how you got there; that zaps aren't a thing to encourage. You just don't want to encourage it if your life depended on it. But it's already a "good" thing.

Primal doesn't make any money on iOS in-app purchases of sats. Apple charges 15% in U.S. and Canada (30% elsewhere), Stike charges 1%. Apple might apply additional sales tax per their local app store rules.

These aren't cheap sats. The option is there so that newly onboarded users can experience Nostr zapping without friction. We deliberately limit these in-app purchases to $5 at a time and $50 max per day.

Note that the "receive" function on the Primal wallet works as soon as you activate it. Users who already own sats can load their wallet that way and zap away! ⚡

On Ocean Mining Pool, Inscriptions and Luke
———————————————

There's been a pretty big flare up in the Bitcoin community about Ocean Mining's two recent blocks. Namely, that they didn't include certain transactions designed to use the block space for something other than its monetary transactional uses. Indeed, many influencers, especially those that are pro-BRC20 and Ordinals, are condemning this course of action as censorship.

In a sense, this is exactly what all pools do. They create a block template for everyone else to mine. In that sense, each miner to a pool is really renting the pool hash rate and the pool does the work of using that hash rate to create blocks, whatever they may be. But it's a bit disingenuous to complain specifically about Ocean, since lots of pools have made blocks that didn't create the optimal profit-driven block.

Not every pool makes the maximal amount of fees for a block, whether because they have bad software, certain policies or just because the block was found before a block template could be constructed. The optimum is an ideal and though the modern economic assumption of idealized homo economicus would create these blocks each time, we don't have a steady-state mining economy so not everyone mines the theoretic optimum.

In a sense, the analysis of pools and the block templates these critics make is flawed because they assume some optimized economy. Given ideal conditions, of course, there is an optimal set of transactions you accept to increase fees. Over a long enough time period, those should result in more profit which get spread over the participants which should make the pool more popular, making those that don't perform the optimum lose profit and eventually bankrupt. But that's a very narrow analysis based purely on monetary incentives.

We don't live in under ideal conditions and situations change all the time. Basic things, like getting a block template ready quickly after a block is found is an optimization that's difficult and still not completely solved. But there's also the opinions of the miners themselves. Are they all strictly profit driven?

Think about normal businesses. Why do they offer fair trade coffee? From a purely monetary perspective, fair trade coffee doesn't make any sense. They're more expensive for the same good. From a profit-maximizing analysis that MBAs are so fond of, the non-fair trade coffee would put the fair trade coffee out of business. But yet, in the real world, they do not because people care more than just the good itself, but what it took to make the good. In other words, the homo economicus analysis of economic situations rarely is the optimum for the real world. There are other considerations other than profit that go into any business.

And that's really at the heart of what's being argued here. Luke believes that inscriptions are a waste of block space, a public nuisance and that even if his pool participants have to take a loss, that it's worthwhile because of the public good that it does. In other words, he sees these inscriptions as *immoral* and that the price he's willing to pay is fees that he would otherwise have gotten.

People are acting like this is some sort of affront to market forces or game theory and that the only consideration he should have is like that of homo economicus, whether he makes more profit or less. But this is a very fiat/Keynesian way of looking at the whole picture. People are more than just profit-maximalization machines and mining pool participants are no different.

Indeed, that's the impression I got from the Ocean Mining Pool summit I went to a few weeks ago. They are that response to the many mining pools that are doing unethical things like not paying out their participants for fees that come in off band.

The calculation that Luke has made is that being moral, that is not polluting blocks, is worth the 1% loss in fees. Given what I know about Luke, even a 90% loss in fees is unlikely to sway him. Morals have a place in any ecosystem because they, too, have value. A mining pool that doesn't burdens nodes with extra data that they have to persist has positive communal value. A mining pool that does the opposite has detrimental communal value. And from Luke's perspective, not burdening nodes is important enough that he chooses not to include them in his block templates.

This moral reasoning is not something that is welcomed by a lot of people and it's hard to miss that many of the critics are creating ordinals, BRC-20 and so on. They want to run this centralized scheme over Bitcoin and make money. In other words, they have a strong economic interest in getting their transactions included and shout censorship whenever they're not.

But we must be careful, because this is not the same as, say, the OFAC prohibition list. And this is where things become a little harder to explain because most people have no sense of the difference between centralized rules being enforced under threat of violence and bottom-up moral behavior slowly adopted. But what Luke is doing is very much bottom up. He's specifically doing something out of moral conviction. Whether you agree with him or not, you can understand why he's doing it, particularly  the moral reasoning. This is different than a centralized mandate with threats of violence against those that don't comply.

I believe that what Luke is doing is a good thing. He's showing his convictions and reasoning about why inscriptions are bad through these templates. The participants are free to move if they disagree. I suspect, though, that there are many that agree with him and they'll vote with their hash rate.

For homo economicus, something like fair trade coffee does not make sense. Yet people gladly pay a little more for it because they believe that it ultimately helps those people produce and live a better life. I believe what Luke and Ocean are doing is similar. They're offering less-bloated blocks even at the cost of some fees.

FUCK EASY

I'm fed up with easy.
You don't want easy.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and one of said intentions is making things too easy.

Easy is staying on the couch.
Easy is not putting on your running shoes.
Easy is watching the porn, eating the junk food, binging the fucking stupid series.

Easy is not sticking out.
Easy is shutting up when you should be speaking out.
Easy is compliance.
Easy is saying the same thing, thinking the same thing, and liking the same thing as everyone else.

Easy is kicking the can down the road.
Easy is short-term gain for long-term losses.
Easy is starting up the money printer.
Easy is "papering over" failures.

Easy is "This is too hard. This is not for me. Someone else should take care of it."
Easy is not educating yourself.
Easy is not taking responsibility.
Easy is trusting a third party.
Easy is not holding your own keys.

Easy is comfortable.
Easy is not having to think.
Easy is not having to understand.
Easy is the coddling of the mind.

Doing things right is hard. Understanding things right is hard too. As is changing the status quo. But there's no improvement without change, no change without pain.

Fuck easy.

toxic bitcoiners are tiny and do not matter😊


Thinking a lot about our Not Your Keys, Not Your Bitcoin and the reality that for global adoption, most people won’t be able to afford to own UTXOs and transact on the base chain.

That a high fee environment causes many issues for Lightning.

Need to know more about scaling ideas but the big question is, how can anyone who wants to use #bitcoin be fully self-sovereign and not be priced out.

Can you be fully self-sovereign without controlling a UTXO?

Is this possible? Is anyone working on this?

GM: All mining pools "censor" transactions, they all construct blocks based on their preference. (Fees, OFACT, asicboost, etc). Many even take out of channel payments. Many/most? Large miners and pools use custom nodes too!

Ocean was just being more transparent about their preferences. In all honesty, didn't even think of 42 bytes issue. Knots was forked from core at 40. Not everything is about the ninjas.

Until we have stratum v2, hashers have no real choice.

sounds interesting 😂


A lot of people are confused between censorship and filtering. If you think that enforcing rules is a censorship, everyrhing going to be a censorship. Even your node might censor VALID transactions. If you want to know details, search "standard transactios". So, it is meaningless to say some rules are censorships. We should clarify these terminology to avoid confusing. I have been being considered to distinguish this two things. Followings are my rough definition.

Censorship
Censorship is banning INDIVIDUALS such as truckers, the opposition party, and etc.
The OFAC sanction list is the exact example.
https://sanctionssearch.ofac.treas.gov/Details.aspx?id=33151
As we know, #Bitcoin is censorship resistance, even if someone try to censor individuals, they can avoid the censorships.

Filtering
Filtering is applying their own rules. That's it. Your node is configurable and configuring means change your own rules. Then, some transaction would be invalid(would not be relayed) on your node, but valid(would be relayed) on others. We don't say this "censorship".

I believe the biggest problem with #Bitcoin adoption right now is it is a financial tool, most people don’t buy stocks, much less understand a digital financial asset.. So they believe the media..
I don’t think the general public will believe in #Bitcoin until it truly goes mainstream.. Amazon, Walmart, Toyota, online would have to start accepting. Most banks would offer a type of Bitcoin account, etc.. Until then it’s too complicated for the average Joe..

FUCK ORDINALS.


I’m going to be on an ordinals panels as one of the people who is counter arguing the claim that they are good for bitcoin. I decided to brush up on the technicals on how inscriptions work. I am starting to see luke’s perspective on how it is exploiting a loophole in bitcoin’s anti-data-spam mechanisms.

## Storing data in Bitcoin, the “standard” way

The standard way you add “data” to bitcoin is by calling the OP_RETURN opcode. Bitcoin devs noticed that people were storing data (like the bitcoin whitepaper) in the utxo set via large multisig transactions. The problem with this is that this set is unprunable and could grow over time. OP_RETURN outputs on the other-hand are provably prunable and don’t add to utxo bloat.

Here’s an excerpt from the march 2014 0.9.0 release notes that talks about this:

> On OP_RETURN: There was been some confusion and misunderstanding in the community, regarding the OP_RETURN feature in 0.9 and data in the blockchain. This change is not an endorsement of storing data in the blockchain. The OP_RETURN change creates a provably-prunable output, to avoid data storage schemes – some of which were already deployed – that were storing arbitrary data such as images as forever-unspendable TX outputs, bloating bitcoin’s UTXO database.
Storing arbitrary data in the blockchain is still a bad idea; it is less costly and far more efficient to store non-currency data elsewhere.

Much of the work on bitcoin core has been focused on making sure the system continues to function in a decentralized way for its intended purpose in the presence of people trying to abuse it for things like storing data. Bitcoin core has always discouraged this, as it is not designed for storage of images and data, it is meant for moving digital coins around in cyberspace.

To help incentive-align people to not do stupid things, OP_RETURN transactions were not made non-standard, so that they are relayable by peers and miners, but with the caveat:

1. They can only push 40 bytes (later increased to 80,83, I’m guessing to support larger root merkle hashes since that is the only sane usecase for op_return)

Bitcoin also added an option called -datacarriersize which limits the total number of bytes from these outputs that you will relay or mine.

## Why inscriptions are technically an exploit

Inscriptions get around the datacarriersize limit by disguising data as bitcoin script program data via OP_PUSH inside OP_IF blocks. Ordinals do not use OP_RETURN and are not subjected to datacarriersize limits, so noderunners and miners currently have limited control over the total size of this data that they wish to relay and include in blocks. Luke’s fork of bitcoin-core has some options to fight this spam, so hopefully we will see this in core sometime soon as well.

Inscriptions are also taking advantage of features in segwit v1 (witness discount) and v2/taproot (no arbitrary script size limit). Each of these features have interesting and well-justified reasons why they were introduced.

The purpose of the witness discount was to make it cheaper to spend many outputs which helps the reduction of the utxo set size. Inscriptions took advantage of this discount to store monke jpegs disguised as bitcoin scripts. Remember, bitcoin is not for storing data, so anytime bitcoin-devs accidentally make it cheap and easy to relay data then this should be viewed as an exploit. Expect it to be fixed, or at least provide tools to noderunners for fighting this spam.

## Where do we go from here

The interesting part of this story is that people seem to attach value to images stored on the bitcoin blockchain, and they are willing to pay the fee to get it in the block, so non-ideologic miners and people who don’t care about the health and decentralization of bitcoin are happy to pay or collect the fee and move on.

Data should not get a discount, people should pay full price if they want to store data. They should just use op_return and hashes like opentimestamps or any other reasonable protocol storing data in bitcoin.

After going through this analysis I’ve come to the opinion that this is a pretty bad data-spam exploit and bitcoin devs should be working on solutions. Ideological devs like luke who actually care about the health and decentralization of the network are and I’m glad to see it.

How do you find more friends on Nostr?


One of my favorite things about #bitcoin price going up is that it increases the efficiency and utility of the lightning network. Your channels are capable of transmitting more than 2x purchasing power since the beginning of the year and you didn’t have to do anything to them except not close them.

And now it's live.

wss://140.f7z.io

140-character limit. With a pretty strict moderation, so spam should be basically non-existent.

It's also sucking short notes from other relays, so it's global should be pretty useful.

I see a lot of posts about Thanksgiving discussions on bitcoin. It’s usually from the American-style perspective, like trying to convince your normie drunk uncle and aunt, and they often don’t see the demand since they have top-tier money and their downsides are subtle. They are like, “why the fuck does someone need a BitCoin?”

Meanwhile, my husband’s equivalent Thanksgiving discussion will be far easier, since he is in Egypt with our family managing a new property build-out for nine people that we are doing, and their bank just blocked my payments to them for the next capital infusion for no stated reason. So now we have to do a bunch of janky high-fee remittance workarounds for a time-sensitive payment (like making your mortgage) and then expend our human capital to go to the bank in the US and figure out where this got blocked (our bank didn’t specify, but implied on Egypt’s side). Every bank sucks here. None of them were clear, which means the customer has to investigate.

The idea of self-custodial global open-source money would be inherently interesting to my family’s dinner if it catches on and starts to have more liquidity points in Egypt like it has in Argentina, Turkey, and Nigeria.

Meanwhile drunk Americans will be like, “What does a BitCoin do, lol?”

Spotify recently updated their streaming payout threshold to stop allowing anything under $1,000. That's a massive number of streams before an artist will see a payout. Many artists live week by week, dollar by dollar and some we've spoken with are homeless. This a major blow to indie artists who aren't already famous and probably not as desperate for money. This is why we went with Lightning payments and only have a 1 sat minimum for payouts. All payout requests are filled within 24 hours to an artist's defined Lightning Address. Time to stop screwing over the little guys.

GM Siamstr.
Seems like we have a huge influx of new users from Thailand this week (over 10,000 users) after a video about Nostr was shared on Thai Tiktok and got almost a million views.

( nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s and nostr:npub1h50pnxqw9jg7dhr906fvy4mze2yzawf895jhnc3p7qmljdugm6gsrurqev was talking about this earlier.)

These new users are not inherently Bitcoiners, so let's see how many can we help stick around.

This also goes to show where the Thai public spends most of there time, guess I should take TT a bit more seriously?
