the reason why bitcoiners don't like moneros is because you all act like you are so superior and that's the reason why you are here, because i would have thought with your obsession with privacy you'd stick to darkweb forums but no, here you are, trolling, and you know you are trolling, and you play dumb like you are "teaching" us "stupid and unsophisticated" bitcoiners something
guess what, i can see what you are doing, so, fuck off back to your darkweb, and when you get there, fuck right off again

“How beautifully Plato put it. Whenever you want to talk about people, it’s best to take a bird’s-
eye view and see everything all at once—of gatherings, armies, farms, weddings and divorces,
births and deaths, noisy courtrooms or silent spaces, every foreign people, holidays, memorials,
markets—all blended together and arranged in a pairing of opposites.”

in chapter X of the Book of Jasher it discusses the diaspora after the failure of the tower and city of Babel
it names rivers that sound familiar... Senah (seine), Dubna (danube), and others, and even directly names Italia and something very close to lombardy; Makdona... and i was thinking to myself "yeah, sarajevo is named after sarah, the wife of Abraham" also...
the story about Nimrod is kinda short though, i think the bible has more details about the life and doings of Nimrod
also, just an aside, the Qur'an has a repeating theme it refers to the story of Sodom and Gomorrah and i did not know this but Babel was also struck by meteors, and the people who bring the warnings are hated and driven away but whoever actually listened survives and the rest of them die
so, there is people who had devices and measurements and knew about these dark objects in space that were coming, and could calculate precisely where they would strike with sufficient accuracy to actually cause people to survive these disasters, like with Noah and the Ark also, and they almost didn't make it, as the rains finally stopped they were almost sunk
if there was people back then who knew how the universe worked, they probably mastered very long lifespans and acquired abilities that we might consider to be magic, being able to communicate telepathically, to teleport themselves, and they had "chariots" and "horses" that could fly into the heavens, and as you go further forward from adam, their appearances in the story start to reduce
according to the way it is told in the qur'an, also, Jesus was born from an artificial insemination performed by an angel called "gabriel" who is the same one who was in constant communication with Mohammed and told him stories that his students wrote down, and central to the story there, just as with Babel and with the time of Noah before the flood, the people were decadent, corrupted and evil, perverted sexual practices and human sacrifice, worshiping statues and wooden images and paintings, or even celestial bodies as was part of the Babel story as Abram introspected and meditated upon where it all comes from, and he concluded that these things were mere creations and God is beyond them and they have no real power
anyhow... fascinating stuff
finally have cleaned up my house, mopped up all the bloodstains from my silly tanto and cable tie incident, everything looks so lovely now, all the rugs cleaned up, gotta dust everything yet also, there's a bit of a buildup everywhere

You might be a Nostr Elite if...
1) You have over 1000 followers, but only post every couple of days or weeks.
2) You are famous from "someplace else", so you don't feel like you need to prove anything to anyone and expect everyone to recognize you from there.
3) You hardly follow anyone else, who isn't an elite, or your follow list is stale and you don't care.
4) You rarely repost anyone else's stuff or hang out in their threads.
5) You rarely respond to mentions or tags, unless they're from another elite, and you feel put-upon by them.
6) You don't actively search for new npubs to follow or interact with.
7) You mostly repost things you've posted elsewhere.
8) You post things and then only respond for a short time.
9) When someone reposts you, you don't feel curious to find out more about them.
10) You think there is no Nostr Elite.

That helps, but it has a limited effect on the structure, overall, because if you're reposting them, then you probably know more people than they do and they probably know you and will also repost your stuff.
So, your higher relative position is stable, you're just collecting grateful underlings. 😂
Better is a hierarchy in some structure that requires more expert knowledge and ingenuity, because that reduces inertia and increases the weighting of PoW because the newer people will gravitate to whomever is producing most-efficiently.

While being bullish about #bitcoin, we should not forget to remain #wise_and_open about everything, even about alternatives to bitcoin. In theory of course. But the moment you stop doubting yourself, is the moment you become absolutist and actually stop being wise.
Bitcoin is not cool for the sake of bitcoin. It is cool because it protects from abuse by scammers and to some extent from violent thieves, such as governments and smartass banksters.
I say it protects from violence only to some extent because although the only way to steal well protected Bitcoin is torture, the problem is you cannot eat bitcoin. It still has to be exchanged into goods that have to be produced. Therefore, if there is a king or a supreme leader that has sufficient soldiers to own all physical goods of the country by force, bitcoin is helpless.
Therefore, I say, if there exists anywhere a government that over the ages has proven to be capable to protect its citizens from the outside while also not scamming, not abusing, and not limiting individual freedom, then it is better than bitcoin. Because it not only does what bitcoin does, but also protects from an external non-bitcoin mentality aggressor. We cannot say that there are no such aggressors, because that is what greeks thought until latins turned into romans (and endless other examples in history).
If any government over the last say 500 years managed to not cause 40 or 40+ weekly work hours as the minimum to stay afloat, while preserving availability of healthy food and entertainment to anyone willing to move a finger, and also while mostly keeping its territorial integrity and not enslaving the external wold, then that is an awesome 😎 government that I would trust more than bitcoin, and would not risk diminishing its powers in any way. Not even by taking away their money printer if they ever used such. It is critical though that this must have been proven over the past 500 years, not 100 years, and not just promised for the future.
My government 😔 is nowhere near this awesome one, so I am already living on bitcoin standard, but will not stop looking for the awesome 😎 government until I have seen the entire world. And even then I will find myself another doubt 🧐 to chase.
#Thailand is my first next stop.

The welcome wagon is mostly a myth and it's now fallen out of favor because LightX was pretending to be TikTok girls and collecting sats.
When I arrived here, nobody noticed me and I had to tag people I knew from X, and reply to threads, to get the ball rolling. I think that's much more typical, and probably harder now because of WoT, since so many people won't see what you write.

i believe that possibly the man still is around and may even be on schedule to come and evac the righteous from the inevitable chaos that is coming to this planet, in order to ensure that the evil ones are extinguished in the fires, floods and quakes and meteor strikes that are coming
but i don't think that any ritual or skinner box behaviour is going to make any difference to it, the prescription is clear, are you at any moment ready to repent what you did wrong? yes? ok, you are on the evac fleet, here's your token to give to the helpers at the exit gate
idk what to say, am i more radical in believing that jesus is a physical man who may well be still alive today and coming to visit soon, very soon, maybe in a year or two, or you, who think he is some kind of ghost?
i think most people think i'm more crazy than you :D

Bacon therapy seems to have worked on my cast iron pan because I flipped an egg on it today and it didn't stick 😃
Basically, whenever I made bacon, I saved the excess fat or used it elsewhere, then used the leftover fat with some coarse salt to clean it with a brush. There were some bad days of excessive grease after a steak, or burnt sauces, where I boiled a little water in it for a deeper clean. But in general, the seasoning has developed pretty well. And now I think I just need to cook in it normally and clean it with the residue fat and salt to maintain it.

https://who.is/whois/netim.com is the name of the registrar for the domain, and i see that https://who.is/whois/dnsnode.net is who owns that
idk what to say, only goes 2 levels deep and you can find a physical address
i'm not doxxing anyone, but this asshat twice, at least, has spammed me with disgusting animated and still image links and intensively tried psychological intimidation on me tonight so let's just say you can find out where they register their domains and how they are making nostr clients that they don't seem that keen to broadly advertise

@npub1x0r…shtn seems to be the marketing department for https://poster.place which is some new spook app for using nostr, and he very much seems to be of the opinion that i am bad for his business, as today he once again posted crappy cliche nazi memes about big nosed "jews" like this somehow had anything to do with reality
i've known many jews and spent a lot of time around israelis in the byron bay psytrance scene and they were mostly nice people, not really any different from the other crazies (which i myself am included in such category) seemed to me
anyone who is trying to smear me with some kind of nonsense about me being racist, white supremacist, misogynist, or any other kind of nonsense, is clearly under the employ of the con and deserve me to at least mention their crappy front company website and their npub so they can realise they can get the fuck out and make a new set of npubs, yes, it's very cheap, you dumb bitches, and register new domain names, yes, it's very cheap, you dumb bitches
seriously, the clown show may continue for my amusement, it just makse me super feisty once in a while when they use boring, typical exploits to break my VPNs for 5 minutes and then gloat at me like they achieved something
don't worry, me, like the rest of the world, will be updating the software and firmware when the patches come in

all forms of electrical heating are based on magnetic force causing deformation in materials (almost always ferromagnetic) or electric force (such as through carbon) and they are highly inefficient at releasing energy compared to burning carbon directly, and most forms are readily available near anyone anywhere, be it charcoal, wood, coal, gas, or oil
there is no sense in centralizing the use of carbon based heat release technologies to drive kinetic force to again convert it back to heat, because the heat sources are cheaper to just deliver to my house instead, and don't get me started on the bullshit of using heat pumps for indoor environment control with the ridiculous nonsense that causes, eg damp winter microclimates outdoors and dessicated skin indoors (in bulgaria, where reverse cycle AC is the norm for winter heating every office has ultrasonic humidifiers!)
if it has to be electric, then at least use carbon resistance to make IR and point the emitters towards the humans, but it's bullshit
better, close the windows, insulate the walls, add mass that actually stores heat, cook with gas, gas is the best, outstanding quality cooking heat, and don't build buildings with north facing windows for fucks sake

i hate induction heating, give me carbon fuel any day, it's very crappy tech and the devices use clunky, noisy circuits not the kind of smooth, dynamic algorithms i would design and that's not easy to translate to hardware without some heavy capacitors and arrays of capacitors and FETs etc
anyhow, i'm not saying ecash isn't useful, but it has two big, clear, and obvious deficiencies that make the mint a trusted third party and if you don't use a limited set of denominations, totally identifiable metadata
build some tools to fix those two problems, and both are related, and i'm in

If by dev you mean reviewing PRs, reading/writing docs or chatting with the team, no, you're not crazy.
If you mean editing source code, compiling, running tests, using git and debugging, then yes, you are crazy.

i had a minor chaos this evening, after i got a bit over excited and did some mental combat with some clear asshats, and minor nincompoops
my imageproxy seemed to go offline, and my server went funny, so i rebooted my reverse proxy/wireguard server and suchlike
it makes me think they pinged my stuff in retaliation for my clear victory against their pathetic attacks, and even, one of the dung-brains literally reused a stupid gif meme animation involving terrible and inaccurate cliches about jews and noses and onanism that was a clear "oh hai, same asshat again here to troll you" type situation
really, is this all they have, they can force me to restart my server and my imageproxy?
seems to me like they've got a pretty thin attack surface to go on these days
don't let anyone tell you that open source doesn't matter
this is how we stop the spooks from manipulating us on an open network like the internet
with #nostr they suddenly got a slap in the face and have to deal with actual intelligent humans who know what is going on
these homo pussy midwits are not gonna prevail against us, we are neither gay, nor mid, nor cowardly
they don't realise we are in a corner at this point, and their employers are the idiot attacker who doesn't realise they have overplayed their hand

i only have faith in my ability to question whether i have, or have not misunderstood the data i'm receiving
if that is Christ then ok, but it's not the Jesus i heard of, it's obsessive self doubt... not stupid crowley doubt, i mean SELF doubt, i doubt myself, i check, does this fit, does this match, is this consistent?
i have forgotten many things, and a few things come back that i lost, now and then, but the essential things never are lost, because they are so essential to every understanding
if that is jesus, then i'm in

Important note:
Just like with money, so with religions, any centralized aspects, especially with alive leaders, is a scam. Whatever is centralized, was created and is maintained by governments or bankers in order to fool you in some way, that always adds up to the overall goal of enslavement.
There can be books (bible, koran, pali canon), and you can pay somebody to print them. That is fine. The same way there can be teachers, and you can buy "lessons" or ceremonies from them. That is also fine. But when a teacher starts claiming that without him you are not properly religious, or receives donations from governments or other wealthy individuals and entities, that is not fine. That one is definitelly a scammer. To mention some examples of scammers: pope, various patriarchs, various muslim supreme leaders, some buddhist chief monks, as well as any monks and priests and imams that support the idea that you are not properly religious if you do not attend their churches, mosques, and temples. You can, but you do not have to.
Especially any ceremonies that target children to be included/excluded in the religious communities. E.g. baptising children or children monks. That is not OK. You can teach them in schools religious truths, but only grown ups can be included in religious communities, or else the community is a scam.
I am saying this while I am religious myself, and am very much in favor of everyone being religious. But only in a voluntary decentralized way, conciously choosing the right religion for you regardless of local and family traditions. As necessarily sticking to family traditions would be like sticking to USD because all your grandpas used it, or feeling obliged to stay in Canada because that is where you were born.

the idea that a large number of monero, and tor relay nodes are not long ago being run by spooks is absurd, considering the events that happened involving the FBI's "investigation" of silk road
that attack was viable then for bitcoin, and now is not
but it's perfectly viable on monero right now
so, metadata attacks on monero are definitely in play, and you are an idiot if you don't realise this, or that those who are saying it's better than bitcoin
bitcoin has over 20000 nodes now, and i run one, that's one less node i know for sure is not funded by the CIA or NSA
are you running a #monero node? if not, why not? it's not as expensive hardware requirement
