Well, let’s start with Ross and Gary. That would be the minimum acceptable act of good faith. After that, we’ll see. But yes, Trump’s actions so far would indicate a shitcoiner through and through.

I suspect, in this particular case, it wasn’t.


UP UNTIL NOW, CLOWNING ON THE LEFT WAS COOL

BUT NOW, ALL NOSTR USERS HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO SHITPOST TRUMP MEMES.

Be very careful about Trump's Biometric Digital ID that will marketed as a solution to immigration.  In reality, it will be used to control the population with facial recognition and Palantir AI.

Peter Thiel backed Trump, as his firm Palantir sells AI to the CIA and ICE.  The Trump "immigration wall" was marketed as a physical barrier in 2016, but has turned into a digital one using AI and facial recognition cameras.  It's very easy for those cameras to now turn inward, to prevent you from leaving.  And for those cameras to end up on your local street corner, to "prevent immigration crime"

Yes, it's great that Trump won over the totalitarian left.  But now, more than ever, you have to remain vigilant and critical of state power.

He is lying when he says it was voluntarily. From ChatGPT:

The penalties for violating Executive Order 6102 were severe:

	1.	Criminal Penalties: Violation of the order was considered a criminal offense. Those found guilty could face a fine of up to $10,000. This was a substantial amount of money at the time, equivalent to more than $200,000 in today’s dollars, when adjusted for inflation.
	2.	Imprisonment: In addition to or in lieu of fines, violators could be sentenced to imprisonment for up to 10 years.
	3.	Forfeiture of Gold: Any gold not surrendered by the deadline (May 1, 1933) could be confiscated by the government without compensation. The government would seize gold that had been illegally retained by individuals or businesses.

Trippy guy, that Gaudí


I just spent over an hour in conversation with none other than Phil Zimmerman, and the mission was clear: purple-pilling him on Nostr. Phil hadn't heard of it before, so I had the challenge of introducing something I knew would resonate deeply with him. After all, he's the guy who knows a thing or two about encryption keys and was previously involved in building Okuna, an open-source social network that unfortunately ran out of funding. I showed him Amethyst on my phone and a post by nostr:nprofile1qqsw4v882mfjhq9u63j08kzyhqzqxqc8tgf740p4nxnk9jdv02u37ncpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9uju6mpd4czuumfw3jsz9nhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wsq3yamnwvaz7tmsw4e8qmr9wpskwtn9wvql3tqm

Phil's got strong opinions when it comes to content moderation, censorship, and those rage-inducing engagement algorithms that seem tailor-made to fracture society. I knew this was my opening. I explained how Nostr flips the script—you get to choose your own algorithm, define your content moderation levels, and uphold the principle that free speech must be the goal. And yeah, true free speech requires free money, so I brought that into the conversation too. That’s when nostr:nprofile1qqs9ez06ea26rc45f4rf0cyckdxkvvhlvekeawqee29jttp0hjm5mkcpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hsdjaljs chimed in with talk about zaps and ecash, which instantly caught Phil’s attention.

Phil had no idea that Chaum's patents had expired, so I jumped into an explanation about Cashu—how it allows payments to be locked to npubs and the privacy-preserving magic of ecash. I was way out of my depth here but tried to channel my inner nostr:nprofile1qqs9pk20ctv9srrg9vr354p03v0rrgsqkpggh2u45va77zz4mu5p6ccpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9thwden5te0dehhxarj9ehhsarj9ejx2a30qyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnddakj7xph5zr.
You could tell the gears were turning...

He's not on social media at all, and I didn't get him to install Damus on his iPhone, but hey—tomorrow's another day. I’ll be back to badger him some more. 🤣

I also tried to make it clear that Nostr is far more than just social media. It's a tool to run coinjoins, decentralized apps, and essentially a DNS replacement. It’s got the kind of flexibility and potential that someone like Phil could see changing the game.

A massive thanks to the POW Summit and nostr:nprofile1qqsvezz8q3wqlqc8edchd40dll6srm4hsxk02km7ssm9hhgyfnxkvqgpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9uemt7cx for making this conversation even possible.

Nostr is decentralized but it’s still quite concentrated. I don’t find anywhere near the diversity of viewpoints and ideas from those posting here, as I do on the social media platforms. It can be quite an echo-chamber - even on the universal feed.

I understand and believe in the potential for it to become significantly diverse but it’s not there yet. Only when the left adopts it to argue with the right and the statist cucks come to fight the libertarians, will Nostr have truly succeeded.

So, hopefully, some of your critics and detractors will come on over to argue with you…

You contradict yourself. Initially, you argue, “Big businesses need infinite economic growth.” Later, you claim, “They plan on taking advantage of climate change reducing the population to have more resources for themselves.” How can they achieve infinite economic growth with a significantly reduced population?

Moreover, if climate change were to reduce the population, it would likely be the poorest who suffer the most, as they control the least resources. This wouldn’t necessarily leave more resources for the wealthy. Additionally, who would be left to work in their factories?

While I agree that there is an excessive production of unnecessary plastic products, I don’t believe capitalism is to blame. What we currently have isn’t true capitalism. It’s a system where profits are privatized while losses are socialized. It also directs significant public funds into the military-industrial complex, which is a major contributor to pollution

I think it's important that we codify how clients should implement the Signal protocol in Nostr.

- create a decentralized git
- boost trading on decentralized exchanges such as bisq and robosats.
- push bitcoin privacy by default in the protocol.
- encourage initiatives such as joinstr

Definitely insane, but not unexpected. Throughout history, entities with power and control have not been big on sharing either. This is the final warning, decentralize everything (hosting, development, production) or those struggling to maintain control will burn the house down to retain it.

If you just use JoinMarket on the command line, you can cut out another layer of abstraction where things can go wrong. Jam, itself, states that it’s still in beta but that JoinMarket is very solid.


Yeah, if using core/electrum it really sucks at fee estimation (often wind up overpaying by 2-3x)
So setting a block target is pretty suboptimal. Setting the miner fee directly, according to current mempool is best, I think.

One really useful thing is to go over the logs and see exactly what you paid to each of the makers and the miner for each transaction. Gives a good post-mortem for helping to optimize for next time


For smaller amounts, the mining fees are disproportionately high simply due to the complexity (thus block space) of a conjoin transaction. It’d be the same fee for 0.0001 BTC as it’d be for 10 BTC. You can set a lower base fee (with variance) or specify a higher block target to mitigate these effects but you may have to wait longer.

It’s the maker fees that could increase with the amount of BTC - though it depends on how the makers whose bids you accept have set their fee structure. In this case you can set upper bounds per collaborator for absolute fees and percent fees. That said, there are usually lots of very reasonable offers on the table.

I like it because you have so much control over what you pay and how many utxos you wind up with.

However, JoinMarket has a serious learning curve. It’s really important to understand the documentation before using it…and the docs are pretty bare bones. I can’t imagine anyone without serious technical skills being able to use it properly.

Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age. Privacy is not secrecy. A private matter is something one doesn't want the whole world to know, but a secret matter is something one doesn't want anybody to know. Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world.

If two parties have some sort of dealings, then each has a memory of their interaction. Each party can speak about their own memory of this; how could anyone prevent it? One could pass laws against it, but the freedom of speech, even more than privacy, is fundamental to an open society; we seek not to restrict any speech at all. If many parties speak together in the same forum, each can speak to all the others and aggregate together knowledge about individuals and other parties. The power of electronic communications has enabled such group speech, and it will not go away merely because we might want it to.

Since we desire privacy, we must ensure that each party to a transaction have knowledge only of that which is directly necessary for that transaction. Since any information can be spoken of, we must ensure that we reveal as little as possible. In most cases personal identity is not salient. When I purchase a magazine at a store and hand cash to the clerk, there is no need to know who I am. When I ask my electronic mail provider to send and receive messages, my provider need not know to whom I am speaking or what I am saying or what others are saying to me; my provider only need know how to get the message there and how much I owe them in fees. When my identity is revealed by the underlying mechanism of the transaction, I have no privacy. I cannot here selectively reveal myself; I must always reveal myself.

Therefore, privacy in an open society requires anonymous transaction systems. Until now, cash has been the primary such system. An anonymous transaction system is not a secret transaction system. An anonymous system empowers individuals to reveal their identity when desired and only when desired; this is the essence of privacy.

Privacy in an open society also requires cryptography. If I say something, I want it heard only by those for whom I intend it. If the content of my speech is available to the world, I have no privacy. To encrypt is to indicate the desire for privacy, and to encrypt with weak cryptography is to indicate not too much desire for privacy. Furthermore, to reveal one's identity with assurance when the default is anonymity requires the cryptographic signature.

We cannot expect governments, corporations, or other large, faceless organizations to grant us privacy out of their beneficence. It is to their advantage to speak of us, and we should expect that they will speak. To try to prevent their speech is to fight against the realities of information. Information does not just want to be free, it longs to be free. Information expands to fill the available storage space. Information is Rumor's younger, stronger cousin; Information is fleeter of foot, has more eyes, knows more, and understands less than Rumor.

We must defend our own privacy if we expect to have any. We must come together and create systems which allow anonymous transactions to take place. People have been defending their own privacy for centuries with whispers, darkness, envelopes, closed doors, secret handshakes, and couriers. The technologies of the past did not allow for strong privacy, but electronic technologies do.

We the Cypherpunks are dedicated to building anonymous systems. We are defending our privacy with cryptography, with anonymous mail forwarding systems, with digital signatures, and with electronic money.

Cypherpunks write code. We know that someone has to write software to defend privacy, and since we can't get privacy unless we all do, we're going to write it. We publish our code so that our fellow Cypherpunks may practice and play with it. Our code is free for all to use, worldwide. We don't much care if you don't approve of the software we write. We know that software can't be destroyed and that a widely dispersed system can't be shut down.

Cypherpunks deplore regulations on cryptography, for encryption is fundamentally a private act. The act of encryption, in fact, removes information from the public realm. Even laws against cryptography reach only so far as a nation's border and the arm of its violence. Cryptography will ineluctably spread over the whole globe, and with it the anonymous transactions systems that it makes possible.

For privacy to be widespread it must be part of a social contract. People must come and together deploy these systems for the common good. Privacy only extends so far as the cooperation of one's fellows in society. We the Cypherpunks seek your questions and your concerns and hope we may engage you so that we do not deceive ourselves. We will not, however, be moved out of our course because some may disagree with our goals.

The Cypherpunks are actively engaged in making the networks safer for privacy. Let us proceed together apace.

Onward.

I guess for those of us with a bit of knowledge, best to just compile any mission critical (wallet) software yourself.

Though, to get reliably reproducible builds would be great.


The REAL Craig Wright!


Not your keys, not your notes. ZBD no longer allows ZBD Developer credentials to be used for signing into their ZBD Social app. That would be fine, but I previously had setup a test nostr:npub13uuzptfm62qx7fn597nds86n0fvx4whzwmsp4lsc9225xu4jx28qtqnaq2 there. Since that account can no longer be used, this Nostr profile can no longer be used. Where's my nsec for that profile? What happened to it? Why can I not export it from my developer console?

"Commencing on February 19, 2024, we will be discontinuing the usage of Developer Dashboard login credentials to access the ZBD Mobile App. As a result, we kindly request you to take a moment to register for a new ZBD Mobile App account, ensuring seamless access to our platform."

This highlights why it's important to take custody of your keys. This highlights why it's important to be in charge of your own identity. This highlights the true importance of Nostr. If a client doesn't allow you to export your key, be wary. Stay safe out there, Nostriches!

The Web is taken.

They control your data: Servers can change anything you send at any time: E-mails, medical records, private family pictures, social media posts, orders etc. You won't even notice it. Not only they can change, but you can also create new content as if they were made by you. Your history is written by them.

Servers do too much: They convinced us we don't have enough processing power and moved all the logic from our applications into servers. Even though a phone has an equivalent processing power than a single server today, we believe we must use complicated server architectures to achieve anything in the web. Phones are the cloud.

Everything is a rental: You don't own your domain name. It's a rental. Your server is a rental. Your digital certificate is a rental. You don't own anything. Your digital identity is a rental.

Data Silos force you to stay: Moving is too hard. They profit on making things just difficult enough to keep your around. After all, it's just 9.99 a month.

Enter the Verifiable Web

Own your keys, own your content. No one can write for you. No one can change what you write.

Sign everything you send. Every little like, every little key press. If it wasn't signed, it didn't happen.

Verify everything you receive. Trust the signer, not the servers in between.

You decide how data gets to you and where it stays. Your digital history is assembled by you.

This is said to be the last photo of Julian Assange, one of the original Cypherpunks, a person of integrity and a person I have always admired.

Maybe some of you only know Julian from Wikileaks, but he was a computer genius, a true Cypherpunk. He was co-author of Rubberhorse, the precursor of TrueCrypt, developer of FreeBSD and PostgreSQL, he also wrote one of the first port scanners, Strobe, if not the first, and hacked the MILNET network (secret data network used by the US military), among many other things, surely one of the best hackers in history.

Why do you think he founded Wikileaks? Because he knew all the miseries of governments.

Julian has given his life for freedom, truth and justice, he does not deserve to end up like this.

What can we do? I don't know, but it seems that without violence nothing is achieved.

US Tax Revenue Swallowed by Debt Interest

"Of the $120 billion collected from individual income taxes last month, a whopping $76 billion was earmarked solely for interest on the debt, a payment that does not even begin to reduce the principal amount."

It has been going up a little bit everyday but it also goes down a bit more lately


Sounds like it could be a big deal


‚Anonymous cash payments over €3,000 will be banned in commercial transactions.

Cash payments over €10,000 will even be completely banned in business transactions.

And anonymous payments in cryptocurrencies to wallets operated by providers (hosted wallets) will be prohibited even for minimum amounts without a threshold.‘ #EU

https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/eu-cash-cap-and-ban-on-anonymous-crypto-payments-results-in-financial-paternalism/


There are many draconial provisions in the upcoming #EU #AML Regulation both for cash and to p2p #bitcoin transactions (self-hosted wallets and use of mixers).

Some examples:

(33b) The introduction of a Union-wide limit to large cash payment mitigates the risks associated with the use of large cash payments. However, obliged entities that carry out transactions in cash below this amount remain vulnerable to risks of money laundering and terrorist financing as they provide a point of entry into the Union’s financial system. Therefore, it is necessary to require the application of customer due diligence measures to mitigate the risks of misuse of cash. To ensure that the measures are proportionate with the risks posed by transactions of a value lower than EUR 10 000, such measures should be limited to the identification and verification of the customer and the beneficial owner when carrying out occasional transactions in cash of at least EUR 3 000. This provision does not relieve the obliged entity from conducting all customer due diligence measures whenever there is a suspicion of money laundering or terrorist financing, or from reporting suspicious transactions to the FIU.

(93) The anonymity of crypto-assets exposes them to risks of misuse for criminal purposes. Anonymous crypto-asset ▌accounts as well as other anonymising instruments, do not allow the traceability of crypto-asset transfers, whilst also making it difficult to identify linked transactions that may raise suspicion or to apply to adequate level of customer due diligence. In order to ensure effective application of AML/CFT requirements to crypto-assets, it is necessary to prohibit the provision and the custody of anonymous crypto-asset ▌accounts or accounts allowing for the anonymisation or the increased obfuscation of transactions by crypto-asset service providers, including through anonymity-enhancing coins. The prohibition does not apply to providers of hardware and software or providers of self-hosted wallets insofar as they do not possess access to or control over those crypto-assets wallets.

As we were said by the EU Commission, “the ban on crypto-asset payments not intermediated by a crypto-asset service provider has not been retained given the absence of technical means of enforcing such a requirement at present”. But that exactly shows the direction of the regulatory approach.

This is a huge deterioration of financial and privacy rights after EU Commission and Council put pressure on the EU Parliament and removed all provisions in favor for individual rights, privacy and financial inclusion.

We need your support guys, before it is too late. Final vote on April 22nd.

No, Llyod got to retire with his stock options intact, and GS was not deemed criminally responsible. Did any Too Big to Fail bank CEOs get criminally prosecuted for precipitating the worst global financial crisis since the 1930s Great Depression? Nope, they got a free pass because to prosecute them would threaten the banking system.

One must understand, the confluence of Zionism, with its political aspirations, is distinctly separate from Judaism as a religion, just as Judaism itself is distinct from the cultural practices of Jewish people. And these, in their essence, differ from the genetic lineage that one may ascribe to the Jewish identity.

Similarly, the movement known as Hamas, with its own political agenda, is not synonymous with the totality of Islam as a spiritual path, nor is it representative of the broader tapestry of Arabic culture. And these, too, stand apart from the genetic strands that run through the Arabic peoples.

Each—genes, culture, religion, politics—are facets, dimensions of existence, separate yet often interwoven, leading to confusion when one is mistaken for the other. While genes are the very fabric of our biological being, culture, religion, and political belief are expressions of the human mind and spirit. They inhabit the body, but they are not of the body. It is a tragic truth of our world that a body may be extinguished with far greater ease than the intangible essence of culture, the profundity of religious belief, or the resilience of political ideology. nostr:note1agfayxffty3cj0j300y6tw5spmfedtt624zeepcdjv0svsc0duwqsvlwcf

When we are deep within our own echo chambers, it’s easy to lose touch with one who might be new to the “space”.
I think what you propose is a good idea.


Unless someone is setting out to be a professional author (very hard), nobody should write a book to make money.

When I set out to write Broken Money, it was because I *had* to, not because I wanted to. Spending a thousand hours on something that I get a profit of $5/copy for is not my best use of time.

Any time I spent on my research business revenue generation content, or leaning harder into my venture capital partnerships, would have been better on an hourly ROI basis. I have to sell 40 books to equal each newsletter subscription on my website; clearly the latter is better financially.

Almost regardless of how many copies I sell, it's a bad ROI for me. I'm overworked and the fact that I wrote a book while maintaining my existing business stressed my relationship and social life. And further, I am reinvesting most of my initial profits; the first 1,000 copy profits go to the Human Rights Foundation Bitcoin Development Fund, and the next 4,000 copy profits will go towards making a video about money and why it's broken.

And all of it was worth it. When a creator has something in their head, it's painful until they get it out into the world. I wrote this for bad ROI but because I wanted it to be out there for people to read, period.

Will I make a profit? Yes. But at a much lower hourly rate than I make on other work I do. It's a negative profit compared to having reinvested that thousand hours into my other existing work. But I consider it to be more important, which is why I spent the time.

I wrote Broken Money because I had to. The book concept formed in my head after many years of writing and research regarding money, and it would have been increasingly distracting to *not* write it. I didn't realistically have a choice. I felt compelled to write it. Part of it was altruistic; I wanted people to learn from my total monetary framework thoughts over five years of research. Part of it was egotistical; I wanted to timestamp something in the world, in physical form, and put it out there. Maybe it's the low time preference part of me; I'd like something of me to be mentionable to people in the distant future who look back at this time.

My background has been a blend of engineering and finance, with both ironically pointed toward bitcoin.

I don't care where you buy it from, and you can pirate it if you want, but it benefits bitcoin and nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak if you buy it from his website.

On lnd machine:
nc -zv 127.0.0.1 9735
Connection to 127.0.0.1 port 9735 [tcp/*] succeeded!

nc -zv 127.0.0.1 8080
Connection to 127.0.0.1 port 8080 [tcp/http-alt] succeeded!

I send payment to mailto:whatever@invoice.mydomain.com from phoenix

It doesn’t work!!

For _host.invoice I’ve used the following without any success:
http://<onion string>.onion:9735
http://<onion string>.onion:8080

when I use 8080, nothing registers in the lnd logs but when I use 9735, I see the following:
[ERR] BTCN: Can’t accept connection: unable to accept connection from 127.0.0.1:56513: act one: invalid handshake version: 80, only 0 is valid, msg=<some message hash>

Anything glaringly obvious that I might be missing?


Best to have left it to teeth gnashing/grinding sounds. Could also have thrown in some tongue clicking

Thanks!


Still, it’s a bit of a pain to have to do that for every video


Actually, I think I figured it out. Looks like I need to be following the poster. If I follow the poster, then revisit the video, it plays.


For example, on universe tab, first post stays blurred for me:

Most videos stay blurred. Any fix?

Run your own smp server


Pretty easy to get a SimpleX server up and running


…and a syphilitic one, at that.

Reading a book with an AI app on hand is truly an enriching experience. You can explore its concepts and references in as much detail as you like.


Running Bitcoin-core and LND nodes. And in the sprit of decentralization and self-sovereignty, running Nostr & SimpleX relays.


Today I got a SimpleX SMP relay up and running!


Yippie !!


Also worth mentioning the IMF’s role in Argentina’s economic devastation…and wow, Tucker is bumping up against a big, fat orange pill !

He’s quite caustic. Very entertaining!


Great book! Just finished it yesterday.


Idea for a skit: Every week you invite a different Keynesian economist to a debate you on some subject. You let them open and then retort with:
<Name of guest>, you ignorant slut…


False, it equals 1.


Tons of apps have asked me to share contacts. I’ve always found that creepy and offensive.
