Last Notes npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Been a long time coming, but finally moved all #hashpower to @npub1qtv…7dze mining, with #Bolt12 payouts over #Lightning configured. Hope the disingenuous FPPS model dies over time. It's like trying to 'fix' a game of luck and skill. npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Prayer time: Yo, BTC, I need to go to work, to an underground bunker datacentre for 6 hours today with no internet or coverage. PLEASE stay low, crash further if you can, so I can get an extra loan from the fiat suits and I can meet my cycle target of accumulated BTC. Thanks. npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Ok.... Your point? npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Logging relates to what's done on the VPN and IPs that connect in a medium/long/permanent-term basis. IPs needn't be logged. Obviously servers are aware of them to accept connectivity, but they aren't logged, all data is ephemeral and processed in real-time. Regarding number of devices logged, that's fairly easily worked around. The client has to be connected to your account. That session ID can present a device count + 1 status to your account. I'm not sure how Proton specifically does it, but as someone who works in the field, there are multiple ways to have that covered. npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum This. On-chain privacy isn't the be-all, end-all. Don't believe the FUD that's going around (particularly that of other "coins"). Learn how UTXOs work. Learn to break the links. Use Bitcoin's layers to your advantage. #nevent1q…prnp npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum The fact some are saying this is one of this cycle's challenges in terms of public perception is.. Troubling. https://i.nostr.build/eGOpzXXPggtLuoUG.png npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum /begin_rant Insane... - Push on custodial solutions as a "reality of the space" based on River metrics of self-custody and on-chain TXs Do self-custody options not have the UX you want? Build it. At this point in time, a Bitcoin wallet that only does on-chain TXs is DEAD-SIMPLE to use. You have TWO buttons - A SEND and a RECEIVE button. We're crossed the line between lack of friction in self-custody, and pushing custodial for user-dependency. - Dual-currency push with Bitcoin + $ Bitcoin, cannot be "married" to fiat. Fiat is intrinsically the antithesis of Bitcoin. They CANNOT work together without MAJOR consequences to the users and the businesses. We've already started seeing this with KYC data breaches, and that's just one example. People's ENTIRE financial track history becomes exposed because of these businesses. I still wonder, to this day, how someone had the brilliant idea of: "Bitcoin for the first time allows for self-custody, true sovereignty. Perfect! Let's make a Bank!" Seriously, how do these people go to sleep at night knowing full well what they're setting up their users for in the future, just as we've seen in the fiat world when your offload RESPONSIBILITY to a third-party instead of EDUCATING the user. /end_rant https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIRq8Wxhre0 npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Why was it a non-Bitcoin wallet that first implemented Silent Payments for Bitcoin? What am I missing here? #AskNostr #Bitcoin #SilentPayments npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Anyone that says they're pro-Bitcoin and supports Trump does not understand that working towards mining the rest of Bitcoin in any one single country would mean potential failure for #Bitcoin. It most likely won't happen, but worth keeping in mind. Trump doesn't understand what he is saying. He's pulling the threads of would-be-patriots. Patriotism should be to your country and culture, not to money. That's what fiat got us. An uncompetitive hegemony. npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum They've reached the need to spout lies about Satoshi. What a sorry state to be in. #nevent1q…uu07 npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum I'd like to give a shout out to Padawan Wallet. Looking to teach Bitcoin usage to a newly orange-pilled individual? From the elderly, to children. It's a fully test-net wallet, fully safe environment to learn the basics with in-app UI-based tutorials. APK available in the github repo. https://padawanwallet.com/ npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum I'm actually unsure if I should follow them.... Wish I could tag certain followers. Actually, that'd be really useful......... @npub1gcx…nj5z @npub1ye5…knpr Thoughts? #nevent1q…5av0 npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum "I think we've achieved access to Bitcoin for everyone as an on-ramp, you can get access in just a few minutes now. What we'd like is help from regulators to so that we can get access to the tools necessary for everyone to be able to buy Bitcoin" - Shitcoin General Manager @ Robinhood 🤷♂️ npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum I may be wrong here, but didn't Michelle Weekley call out all Anons for being, well, anonymous, stating they should take their mask off? npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Them changing to Openvibe is a sign they don't primarily believe in what Nostr stands for, how it differentiates from others and WHY it came to be in the first place- Unfortunate what that means. Incorporating every platform possible besides pushing conformity for centralization, risk of deplatforming and loss of freedom of speech, is like throwing shit and seeing what sticks. Aggressive perhaps, I know, but it gets to me. npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum 👍 It's a good watch/listen. npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Xapo Bank is the antihesis of Bitcoin. Instead of putting energy into building better self-custodial solutionsand UX with emergency backups like Muun (local) or @npub1xnf…lpr5 (cloud) for Lightning have done, they're replicating traditional banks with #KYC AND you have to pay to use it. npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Even AI will become aware of the truth before shitcoiners do 😬 #nevent1q…snhm npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Early internet protocols also weren't scalable nor usable by normies. Many faded out of use and new ones became the defacto standards. Yet, the foundation is all still there. At the end of the day, layers are just an abstraction that most people won't even be aware of - They'll be aware of applications and how to use them. If that means locking sats into a LN channel via an on-chain TX they'll do so. If that means creating VTXOs to be able to retain self-custody whilst transacting cheaply, they'll do so. It's possible one of those UXs will win out over the other too. I think it's the UXs that will really need focus at some point soonish, and that UX will naturally streamline and standardise which protocols are used in other layers. npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Quote from Saifedean Ammous, he said it when interviewed by Lex Fridman. npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum "The social engineering is neither accidental nor coincidental. The ultimate goal is to achieve absolute control over an individual, because those who have lost their sense of personal identity are receptive to auto-suggestion." - Anon npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum What's your excuse now, anon? Yet another easy-to-use node implementation, from the people who have one of the number 1 custodial services. So, let's see how many @getalby people actually complete the PoW challenge and achieve sovereignty at layer 2.... Privacy, freedom and sovereignty is earned. #nevent1q…2fr7 npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Unfortunate but true. #nevent1q…dkye npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Huge. Slowly, then suddenly. #nevent1q…t6er npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Some clients (amethyst in this case) shows a generic heart, but if you expand you can see all the reactions. So it I think at a protocol-level, (all) reactions are built-in (whether it's an emoji, or even a GIF), it just depends on how some clients display them. See below. https://i.nostr.build/lIt529J3n6mQrhUO.png https://i.nostr.build/5VFGijy13LsKu1K6.png https://i.nostr.build/MhUqO3qu4DyhM9My.png https://i.nostr.build/4rfG99hxqRnG9MGq.png npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum I'm using a self-hosted version but pretty sure it's up-to-date. I see a "reaction" button instead of a like/dislike. Check under Settings, you should have Quick Reactions, and you can edit these. It's possible the Like/Dislike are just your preset ones. I'm sure there's some client-side limitations, but across noStrudel , Amethyst and 0xchat, all reactions show as expected. npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum I said it's not as decentralized which is factual. There is a difference. npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Absolutely correct. Even so, cryptography as something you HAVE/KNOW however, gives a much higher degree of verifiability than a centralized and administered database. npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum They're testing to be dependent on other thresholds. Carbon footprint, credit score, how much healthy food you've had (can't have too much!) etc 😅 npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum No excuse to not run your own node at this point. If you don't allow custody of your Bitcoin, you shouldn't allow custody of your sats given the current solutions that are out there. I see so many juicy targets here. https://image.nostr.build/bc69f943a779b4a0a37f670fcd98fb1452cc9283a2c06f7a7aa7ed14e75502f5.png npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum I run my own nodes and use their functionality everyday. Is it a perfect experience? No, but that's why we build on it. A solution to challenges imposed on the finality layer needn't be perfect from the get-go. I've heard no one suggest Lightning to be the only scaling solution either, but you act like that's fact. Truth of the matter though, is that the foundation is sound. That's where you want to build the most regardless of the challenge based on the foundation's constraints, because no other project will achieve what it has achieved - It was a happy accident. The state very much has a problem with BTC, it just can't do anything about that and we've seen this across the years. When a move is futile against your opponent, you don't expend the energy - You find other ways to attack. Either way, stick to your monero, because Time will tell. The moment one of us swaps Bitcoin for monero or vice-versa, we'll know what that means. npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Odell is talking about the lack of cryptographic ownership and thus, verifiability. You can't prove a tweet was sent by whoever you think sent it. On centralized platforms, the companies in charge tend to have either bespoke backdoors, or are downright able to modify and insert tweets via queries against their SQL database (as an example). In contrast, nostr works with keypairs, where at first stance, only the owner holds the private key, hence only they are able to post on their profile. npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Perhaps I'm misundertsanding, but if user A using mint a sends a nutzap to user B in mint b, there's essentially still a swap that happens over lightning. For user A to mint a token at mint b, they either have to already have sats there, or send them over LN. npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum You're assuming everyone would use the same handful of mints though, right? npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum If Bitcoiners were true, Trump would be sitting alone at that roundtable. And yet... It'll be interesting to see what sits there. https://i.nostr.build/gLTVEawZ3Ka3SKgB.png npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Egge, I thought we'd gone through this already. Separation of money and state is a marathon, not a sprint. Let's at least pretend we don't know what the next step is. npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Or just not getting poorer? npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Who thought it would make sense to mix Bitcoin and Monopoly...? They're like.. The exact opposite of each other. https://i.nostr.build/Wq1sXBA1dA8jCCqu.jpg npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Oi @npub1n3h…2j0t We see the first pre-orders starting to go out... Update your nostr profile so we can make some noise...? https://x.com/TwentyTwoHW/status/1815363764092342567 npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum I think the closest would be something like npub.cash. Now, if we could unify npub.cash's address implementation, with NIP-60/NIP-61 and have nostr be aware of your mint of choice to receive on... THAT would be the end-game I think. npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Crazy radical Proposition: When someone streams their day at the beach, they shouldn't be zapped. Instead, they should zap viewers who are stuck in the fiat mines. 😁 #nevent1q…nhp6 npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum If the timechain fees scale upwards to incentivize chain security as the block reward gets lower, then privacy solutions like coinjoining needs to scale in upward layers. I wouldn't be as worried. It's definitely a shift, yes, and a time of transition where it's tougher to gain on-chain privacy, because there's little focus on on-chain privacy AND coinjoins aren't as active. Split those up. Stronger focus on privacy on the chain is paramount, but we can achieve what coinjoins achieve through upper layer protocols. npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum I don't think Trump being at the Bitcoin conference is going to be what many americans expect it to be. In fact, between him bashing on El Salvador, Keiser not taking his shit, and him likely thinking it'll be an ego-field-trip when in fact the event is far more than just about him.... I can see something going terribly wrong. Temper your expectations. And then prepare for the unexpected. npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Fun stuff. #nevent1q…0q2z npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Every.

Whenever I hear car alarms from home (or the convenience store below), this scene always comes to mind. npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Ah, so essentially cashu ecash unlocked by our nostr keys, got it. npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Yea can be done on 0xchat. npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Wasn't it 0xchat? Or do nuts now mean something different than cashu ecash? npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Okay, there are some good ways to take advantage of the low mempool fees. For anyone looking to double-down on their sovereignty and go full self-custody with #Lightning, let's open a channel. I'm also offering a few free inbound-liquidity channels of up to 500k sats for those currently using custodial services looking to move on to self-custody ⚡ Lightning ⚡ If you're using custodial services, you have no excuse at this point. If you run a server node, and are unsure of how to get a Lightning Address to receive zaps, I can also help with this. https://i.nostr.build/BNQrsNC14p2cOYyd.png npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum "Which relays are best for torrent searching?" Asking the real questions. Seriously though, I wanna know. npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum If coinjoin code is illegal... Then this is ransomware.... #nevent1q…dh7q npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum I'd been on the verge of orange pilling a work colleague for a while now, but he never made the jump. I never pushed it either, but once in a while conversation would be struck and we'd discuss, ending up in me explaining to him why Bitcoin. He'd get it, but felt in a first-world country it wouldn't be necessary. For a while, I thought his main thread was money. Turns out not. Today was the day. He messaged my in the middle of the night asking for first steps. I asked what prompted him, he said the fragile inter-dependencies the system has - He saw what's been happening the last couple days. Sometimes all people need is time. Because time bring necessity, and with it, action. npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Launch the orange-pill missiles towards the UK and Europe. #nevent1q…35qh npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Perfect for orange-pilling some British and Europeans. I've seen memes around, but would be interesting to have a geographic-based infographic comparison of banking infra downtime with such examples and its impact vs Bitcoin... npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Welcome! Be sure to get a lightning address and link it your nostr, so you can receive zaps! npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Hi - Just saw this and thought it may be worth posting here as my be relevant. My tor node doesn't seem to be affected, but if you're using tor and it's still trying to sync, this could be related. https://x.com/lopp/status/1812500211681370484 npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum If I recall correctly on myNode, if you go to the settings, you can check the logs for each service. If you check the Bitcoin logs, it should say it's catching up/syncing. npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum The little shit opted out... You can too. #Bitcoin https://i.nostr.build/vz1gzDXEjP30VHpg.png npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum The normalization of Influence over the population by way of "influencers", kills critical thinking. npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum They had to due to their own laws. Still a messed up move that will haunt them in the years and decades to come but it's just another example of the traditional system being... Traditional in the information age. npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Quick primer on how to easily spot shitcoinery scams. a) The shitcoin calls itself "decentralized", but assigns block confirmation to be well under 10 minutes. The chain will only work as long as it's actually Centralized. b) According to the shitcoin documentation, "an error was made in the GetBlockSybsidy function, which is responsible for calculating the reward payouts for mined blocks. This resulted in a deviation from the established block reward scheme." In other words - A likely excuse for a pre-mine. c) This shitcoin has Unlimited supply to prevent "deliberate removal of coins from natural circulation in the ecosystem and make up for lost wallets on hard drives/phones/lost encryption passwords/etc". 🙈🙉🙈 https://i.nostr.build/fET2XKIXljIbBgL7.jpg npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Important to remember if a platform is truly P2P and permissionless, then it's not the platforms that's limiting a country from parricipation. Users simply need to be educated about it and start using it. npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum PSA: Michelle Weekley is at it again. If you haven't been hit yet, there's a wave of BS about a Bitcoin core dev identifying as transgender and that being antithetical to Bitcoin. Steer clear of the noise, it's all BS. Your sats are safe, everyone's fucking happy. Move along. npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Absolutely, I do get that, but what's being discussed here is precisely longevity of services when they put themselves into a position of having to succumb to regulatory pressures. Bitcoin as-is fixes this through and through, yet there are exchanges today decide to stick to the old ways. I think it's pretty clear you don't need to know everything in Bitcoin to understand that if a solution to such problems presents itself you should probably build on that rather than having this ongoing in-and-out cycle of "Exchange apologizes to users, they fought long and hard against KYC and you should now consider yourself doxxed and tracked". npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum You had years of looking at how other exchanges did it. You chose stakes in fiat, instead of a Bitcoin P2P foundation when your whole business revolves around Bitcoin which allows for P2P, global transactions regardless of the who or where. You could offer a permissionless, open service with amazing UX. Be sovereign. Instead, you'll likely always be at the whims of your fiat masters. This KYC push was just an initial step for them, and it set a precedent. As we've seen in the past they will pressure you until you're snuffed out. I am Bitcoin-only, I don't shitcoin and don't even have an avid history with it, but there's a reason the shapeshift exchange is still around today. Years ago they faced the same issue, and realized they had to build into their backend a P2P option. Their exchange went offline for a good few months IIRC, but that downtime allowed them to rebuild, and nowadays they offer both No-KYC and KYC options - This to say, it always stuck with me how this allowed them to take control of their own longevity. No matter how much they have to swap around KYC providers (by being blocked off, or regulatory pressure, or otherwise) their users always have an option, and they will remain in business. Is it infallible? No no, they're not open enough for that. But they're in a much better position to be if the time came. npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum "Yea I get the whole idea of #bitcoin I think". The clear uncertainty in what you type shows a lack of understanding when you say Bitcoin needs regulation - It doesn't because it's self-regulating - Rules with no rulers. npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum "Ofcourse there are still other ways to stack sats, but I don’t have any experience with them. I might check them out some day…" Then I don't think you have a good enough of the big picture to really say "it's fine". Let me paint you a picture instead. If exchanges were built on a Bitcoin standard, they would remain sovereign - Services offered to users regardless of who they are, where they are. I mean, the fact that Relai only added Bitcoin to their balance sheet recently, should've been a clear sign. If exchanges are not built on a Bitcoin standard, they're inherently discriminatory when you put them side by side with the ethos of Bitcoin and what it allows - P2P Global transactions. So Bitcoin comes along, allows for this fundamental shift, and yet these exchanges come in and decide "let's do what we've been doing for the past however many decades instead". The clear reason is high stakes in the fiat game. The exchanges that WILL survive long-term will be P2P exchanges with open source code that are permissionless and no one can stop. Because they're fully open, could bad actors take advantage and host their own exchange? Absolutely, and is exactly why would-be GOOD actors should be at the forefront of offering such services and making a name for themselves via reputation. If Relai or any other KYC exchange translated the time and energy they dispense into the fiat world, into PoW for the best damn UX in the P2P market, they'd be gold. This is why Peach is a close-contender - Unfortunately their backend isn't open, but the fact they're fully P2P ensures their longevity and sovereignty to operate their service with a damn good UX. Personally, I see Robosats eventually taking the cake due to decentralized coordinators. npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum If after years of history with hacked exchanges, exchanges sharing PII with third-party providers that then become honeypots, exchanges SUING their own users, or chainalysis tracking exchange addresses you still don't see the problem, I really don't know what to say. But that's fine. Neither did they. Good luck! npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum FYI, #Relai is now full-KYC. They're trying to spin it as a positive, "Level Up" - It's positive that they "remain in business". It's a net-negative for the majority of its userbase that were no-KYC. I mean... I sometimes ask myself, after all these years,h ow much longer will we have to go until people understand why no-KYC, and why these companies are fiat-first companies instead of bitcoin companies. They've just shot themselves by being a fiat-first company. But most of many of their users are already invested... They'll likely remain afloat until they're centralized nature gets to them. https://i.nostr.build/VLEpeLBNvXStS7DH.png npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum @nprofile…lktc Do I recall correctly that there is currently no way to remove watch-only wallets? Lastly, are these configired against LN nodes specifically? I added an incorrect watch-only, uninstalled and reinstalled Zeus and.. It was still there. Any tips on how to remove it node-side(LND)? npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum I moved my arch installed to systemd-boot. I've gone an entire year without updating one of my test servers, and months on other test machines. My go-to is always the same and has worked everytime - Update the keyring package alone prior to any other updates. Flawless. npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Been thinking about this. Potential solution: - Build nostr-based website platform to manage GIFs (perhaps building off of npub.pro?) along with API. - Upload GIFs to nostr-based hornet-storage-enabled relays. - Clients integrate GIF-searching/selection via API calls. Could potentially work 🤔 And I wonder whether an API would even be needed, but unsure how we'd call/search that data on nostr without an indexing platform. npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum 👀 #nevent1q…q340 npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum IF you're going to sell Bitcoin, at least be decent about it..

Never again 🤣 npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum We don't have to remain confined to UK borders. People in power just rotate BS on a ruling term basis, this is true for the UK and its true in many other first-world, 5-7-13 eyes countries as well. It's a vicious cycle we cannot break currently, and the fiat masters still have plenty to suck out from the people. Stack sats, then GTFO. Go borderless. This is the (only) way. I'd love for my country (once the most powerful, now a joke) with some of the richest culture and history to do a 180, but we can't chain ourselves to authoratative, aka fiat, borders. I think we were dealt a shitty hand, and we can't magically solve the fiat cycle. But we can position humanity and future generations to do so. The clean slate we were never given. #nevent1q…gwcy npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum For those that ask "Why No-KYC?"

Bitch please, they're robbing you blind every month already. Make sure to take steps to protect your network. Otherwise you might just get fucked over. #nevent1q…p3uf npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Germany clearly knows what it's doing... Maybe. Probably not. But let's entertain the thought for a second. It's slowly selling large amounts of BTC, carefully dumping the price, putting shitcoins 6 feet under and making bag holders panic sell. Bitcoiners have unbelievable conviction because this IS the hill to die on when you're in it for more than 'fiat gainz'. Then Germany holds up on the selling and watches what it has left pump over time whilst re-stacking having killed the annoyances. The 'crypto' cleanse era is upon us. Likely, regardless. npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum This reminds of the "Cannon Fodder" short film, part of the Japanese short film series "Memories". It's a hauntingly well done look at something that has been a reality, and continues to do so in a potentially even more twisted way... #nevent1q…r559 npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum It's worse. Someone looked at Bitcoin and soon after figured they could do it better whilst losing everything that makes it special. Not only that, but thousands of times over. Literally throwing shit and seeing what sticks. Shitcoiners deserve whatever is coming for them. Scamming people and then doubling down on not investing time to understand and learn the basics of the *only* currency to reach a critical decentralization point, anchored to the real world by PoW. npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Free Speech and "hate speech" are diametrically opposed.

The problem I see something like this solving is as follows. I solely use Amber (NIP46) to sign events for me because I find it to be so far the most secure and also convenient method in my threat-model. So many clients are yet to implement or even announce plans to do so. Worse yet, are encrypted DMs. 0xchat and Amethyst work pretty well together, where Amethyst can do older less-secure DMs, but can also read/write encrypted DMs which 0xchat can also do, but the moment I'm on Desktop/Web browser that falls apart, there is no convergence as far as encrypted DMs (something like NIP44) go, only less-secure ones. npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Communities and Group chats already exist, unless you mean something else? npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum arch btw. npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum What about Family Share is broken? The new version which is pretty much a complete revamp of it is still in Beta - Were you on stable? Or did you use the Beta with family sharing? Or tried both? Also, personal view here, I don't find Ubuntu a very good system if you're gaming, it has a slower release cycle and older packages. For gaming you want bleeding-edge for a better experience. BlendOS would almost fit the mark, but I find it's trying to be a little too much, and ends up being too experimental and not what I'd recommend for daily use. Nobara is nice middle-ground, but interestingly, I've heard friends not be able get it going. I'd really keep it simple in this case, and just go with vanilla Arch (get the ISO and run 'archinstall', it's a script that walks you through the install) and after that, look up GloriousEggRoll's (Nobara Dev) "How to get out of wine dependency hell" article for 2 commands that get you up and ready for pretty much anything. Update it once a week, and you'll be gold (Been running on the same install for over 3 years. No issues to report, however, worth mentioning Arch has some of the BEST documentation in the Linux scape and should definitely be referenced). Don't give up on it, your son will thank you 😉 npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum https://i.nostr.build/BRW6K.gif npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Ah you take OS volunteers also, perfect.

This is worth a watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClrNmq7cPSw npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum I'd agree, and do for the most part, with everything happening at once in today's world and the fight we fight it wouldn't be far-fetched (albeit perhaps just too soon!) to come to that conclusion. On the other, an expired cert tends to show up on the webpage of any browser as the main culprit when you try to access it which anyone hosting a website should be aware of. Either way! Lessons learnt, moving forward! I'd be remiss to ask: Does Geyser have an email or page for resumes/job openings at all? Could see myself applying as I love the project and perhaps could offer some value. https://i.nostr.build/Yg9BP.png npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Could see that, but definitely not sustainable and thus wouldn't really consider it news worthy. Time will tell. npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum What does 0% inflation mean? Did they take money out of circulation? Have they pledged to no longer inflate money supply? npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum The fact users feel the need to state "functionality for #Nostr zapping that works in the US." is both a failure for us as a #Bitcoin community, but also in the understanding and education that people have over Bitcoin. Bitcoin cares not for borders. And if applications and services rely on them, they haven't been built correctly. It hasn't always been the case (and in which case I'd argue some were just early) but at this time there are GOOD, better options that achieve self-custody and do not discriminate based on geographical location. We can do better. We must do better. #nevent1q…twgv npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Permissioned money sucks.

If that's the wrong way to view it, what'll make them complement each other? Ark VTXOs seem to be very similar to ecash tokens. Both rely on #Lightning for interoperability/communication with other nodes. The main differences I see so far are: - Ark interfaces with on-chain, cashu doesn't need to. - Ark is self-custodied while cashu is not. I can make some opinionated remarks as to which I could prefer long-term, but what the general vibe? #Bitcoin npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Just realized, apologies for the thread hijack and constant notifs :D And thanks, might do so soon once I figure out what's stopping me from spending on CLN. npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Yep aware, but to be clear I also have a public channel with LNBig. What I've just noticed however, is that even though I've received funds into both those channels and thus now have outbound liquidity, both of them actually display 0 sats as spendable. So that's an avenue for me to look at. Thanks for your thoughts! npub14un6d98pa48kleqjjqfe5jqekxpdcwd7lkwc2hm3s2z4gmd60j8sstgg48 uxellodunum Thanks, I'll just keep looking into it. Also, you're right, Olympus' LSP doesn't do public channels yet. I mistook that option for the one on outbound channels.
