Last Notes npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert Organic Maps is amazing though, it's legitimately better than Google Maps' app in most ways for me. It's something as rare as a highly polished open source app. npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert This Twitter friend says he was put through full KYC, including an embarrassing session on webcam, in order to get his account back. He doesn't understand why it happened, it all seems arbitrary. Please I don't want this to happen to me. What can I do?? https://m.primal.net/JwKR.png npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert "Tech giants will be forced to ban fake news under Labour plans" "Firms could be required to suppress posts even if they are not illegal" https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/08/09/tech-giants-forced-ban-fake-news-labour/ npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert #rustlang follower not affected. npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert When @npub1lr2…dl6a asks the audience from the main stage to complete the sentence "we are all Satoshi Nakamoto, except" and the whole enormous hall is silent except for me yelling "CRAIG WRIGHT!!" 😳 #BTCPrague npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert Very much this. Support developers, disregard bitfluencers! #BTCPrague https://m.primal.net/IkNk.jpg npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert Ah, hope so. Too easy to assume the worst in this space. npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert What the hell? Why? Wasn't it enough to say "no, we won't add Amber"? Anything bitcoin-related is extremely toxic in certain circles. npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert The few people hanging out by the Expo Stage watching small-time bitcoiners share their stories while Michael Saylor preaches his sweet nothings to the choir at the Main Stage - these are my favorite bitcoiners. #BTCPrague npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert See you there! npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert Can confirm, am here. npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert Hey now, I use it every day, for store of value npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert Calvin and Kurt continue to rekt themselves. #BSV https://m.primal.net/Ihvw.png npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert Making my way from High Court in London across the continent by rail to attend @npub167n…zu3r. Can't wait to meet old and new friends in that beautiful city! This train is bound for glory 🚂 https://youtube.com/watch?v=zEQ2nPSL5-0 npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert I wouldn't call it bureaucracy. The justice system needs to be a bit slow to be precise. By grinding slow it can also grind fine. And I think Faketoshi will be pulverised. npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert Correction: That should be Crown Prosecution Service, not Persecution. Although Faketoshi might soon disagree. npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert I will. I use nostr more and more these days. npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert While this case seems exceedingly stupid, I'm still fascinated by the idea that bitcoin creates its own demand for block space through the need for consolidation. Rational consolidators are buyers of last resort, ensuring miners will always have a reward to compete for. npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert While this case seems exceedingly stupid, I'm still fascinated by the idea that bitcoin creates its own demand for block space through the need for consolidation. Rational consolidators are buyers of last resort, ensuring miners will always have a reward to compete for. npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert No, that's a while until we know. First we have to see if he gets referred to the Crown Persecution Service (first possibility for this is next Friday). If he does, there will be another trial, this time in criminal court, where he might get a prison sentence. The wheels of justice grind slow. npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert I recommend Tidal. And not just because it's owned by bitcoiners (Block). npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert Perhaps our electricity is unlimited and almost free in theory, but in practice households pay a lot more than we used to since we started exporting a lot more of it. Without much more investment into energy production, we are poised to run into shortages as we dedicate a larger portion of our electricity to our "green transition". Most of our new energy production has been on-shore wind farms, which is very unpopular due to its devastation on our nature. So we have the electricity we have, and it's not enough - for the first time in Norwegian history. Bitcoin is already very unpopular in Norway. I don't see how this mining ban can be stopped, unfortunately. At this point I just hope they don't accidentally forbid using the SHA-256 algorithm. They're not tech savvy. npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert Jack and Lyn on stage in Oslo. #OFF24 https://m.primal.net/IYPh.jpg npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert The greatest trick the feds ever pulled was convincing some people that freedom tech developers are feds. npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert I challenge you to take a shit https://m.primal.net/ISgh.jpg npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert I remember giving a talk about Dandelion at our local meetup in 2018. It was going to be an awesome privacy upgrade and coming soon. But shit's difficult. Perhaps soon? npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert Thanks for elaborating. It sounds a bit like you're overthinking it, and I'm worried about adverse affects of this growing attitude. Perhaps the label "bitcoin developer" is dumb, but I don't want us to strangle freedom tech because we're worried about theoretical "perverse incentives". This is the direction Saylor is pulling the community in, and everybody is crazy about him. Bitcoin is money, and it should be able to fund itself. I will certainly continue to fund developers in my small way, and of course also defend them from legal action. npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert But you just don't want them to be able to work on bitcoin full time by having a salary, is that it? Just trying to understand your resistance to funding bitcoin development. npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert Do you think bitcoin devs should even be a thing, then? Would you say bitcoin is perfect as it currently is? npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert This generation of bitcoiner is an attack on Bitcoin. https://m.primal.net/IMsy.png npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert Enjoying these updates. Good to see you posting on an open protocol. npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert Judge James Mellor. He's not only the judge from the COPA v Wright proceedings, he's also a computer scientist and Wright had the darndest time trying to bedazzle him with technobabble. npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert I get no flak from them, since I block them all, even preemptively. But I've seen much less of them around Twiter in general lately. I think many have lost their enthusiasm after the judgment, and also that Calvin has stopped paying for a lot of shills. Those that remain mostly seem like true ride-or-die believers. npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert Imagine getting a legal judgment against you saying you're not nearly as clever as you think you are. Now imagine you're a narcissist. #Faketoshi https://m.primal.net/IIrR.jpg npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert Thanks, --test worked nicely. I'm new to ntfy and just realizing that the non-reserved topics available to non-paying users on ntfy.sh are global and public for all to subscribe to, so names must be hard to guess. Perhaps a default topic name (`sentrum`) is not a good idea, since it looks like users will receive each other's events? I also found that the username and password fields are not required – messages are delivered on the default server without them. That's good as it matches my understanding of ntfy (you can send messages with curl without any credentials), but it means README.md is a bit inaccurate. npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert I have it set up alright, whether it's working remains to be seen as I have no transactions yet. I'm using ntfy. Looks like an improvement would be to accept ntfy access tokens instead of username and password. npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert Running sentrum to monitor an xpub. Been looking for such a tool for ages, and there it is! A nice addition to my local setup. Thanks. #note1xxa…ga7k npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert We're doing another informal pub meetup in Bergen, Norway on Wednesday. Come hang out with friendly bitcoiners of all sorts! https://www.meetup.com/bergen-bitcoin-meetup/events/299320250/ [Norwegian] Vi inviterer til en uformell pubkveld i Bergen. Ingen spesiell agenda, vi bare møtes og nørder om Bitcoin med noe kaldt i glasset. Om du er ny på Bitcoin eller erfaren er du like velkommen! Du finner oss på Henrik øl & vinstove fra kl. 19:00 og utover. Se etter Bitcoin-logoen på et av bordene. npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert The stupid thing is that US and Europe used to change time at the same time, but Bush moved it in 2005 as a knee-jerk reaction to a perceived energy crisis at the time. The folly of men. npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert ON MARCH 31. npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert Hi! I'm interested if cross-posting from X to nostr is easy to useful for the nostr audience. I wouldn't engage much on nostr, I'm afraid. npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert NEW RULE: Bitcoiners must stop calling everything "proof of work". "It's good to see you put in the proof of work". "He actually did the proof of work." No, it's just work. You performed work. npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert Many people think Faketoshi is utterly irrelevant and a silly clown at this point. He's not, and if we ignore him, we do bitcoin a disservice by letting him operate in peace. #note1xnk…zm05 npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert He wouldn't go after GitHub, since they can defend themselves. Instead, he goes after individual open source developers who uses GitHub – that's the danger. There's a feature request filed with GitHub to block certain countries on a project/organization level to prevent such attacks, but it looks unlikely to be implemented: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/66147 npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert A setting for minimal amount to trigger notifications. I don't need my phone to light up and go "ding" just because someone gave me 1 sat, or even 10 sats. Maybe 100 sats. npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert "I want to be the best crypto founder that’s ever existed. I like doing – I like owning the world’s largest diamond." – Richard Heart Yes, Heart purchased the world's largest known black diamond at a Sotheby's auction, using money collected for what the SEC describes as "the vague purpose of supporting free speech". npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert Cults have extremely long tails. The ones who are still there after all these years are the most unhinged ones, or just paid actors. People's parents will be on nostr before those luddites can figure it out. npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert Thanks, worth noting! npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert Is there a verb for posting on nostr? "Noting", maybe? #nostr #newbie npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert He's ok, just not very active on Nostr yet (like me). The appeal trial in Oslo starts on September 5. npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert That's rear-view mirror engineering. No need to apologize, you're building a great product. npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert I'm currently experimenting with the gossip client for nostr. A local desktop client is ideal, so long as it works. npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert I have no idea when I would have done that, but I did play with it so I guess I must have. Looking very much forward to being able to add it back in! npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert But I have Alby, and I'm currently posting this from primal.net, so I must be logged in, right? Yet no Latest feed. Hmm. npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert Not for me – I get the "Trending 24h" feed, and can also select "Most-zapped 4h" and "Nostr highlights", but I see no "Latest" option. I really only want a chronological feed :-( npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert #Primal is the most promising nostr front-end I've tried. But I can't find a way to view a chronological, newest-first timeline, only things like Trending and Most-zapped. Am I overlooking something? npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert I thought he kept you unblocked so he can ping you in every third tweet? I'm not sure he can function properly without you in his life. npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz Norbert Glad I held on to mine, although it's just a nostalgic display piece in my study now.
