Last Notes npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 Have you played around with something like Remembering the Kanji approach for learning kanji? I’ve had ups and downs with the approach but currently trying out a variation of https://youtu.be/SUVHMEUld4I?si=cogmsv8PE3S-2EHb tailored to Japanese in order to learn one onyomi pronunciation for each kanji I learn and to create a more predictable structure for stories I create to learn how to write the kanji. npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 I’m excited for your language journey. I was finally able to go to Japan last year after a decade of study. I found that if you’re in Tokyo you don’t need that much Japanese to navigate. For example, subway station signs are in English as well. I do think being conversational in Japanese helps in bonding with people while there. I bring this up because I held myself back from going until I felt “good enough” at the language, but now I think I should have gone sooner because I don’t think there will ever be a point where I feel good enough. There will always be more to learn. npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 Thanks for the reminder. I do think there is something to be said for making nostr anonymous by default by accounting for the lower levels of the network communication stack. Even through nostr is about publicity, privacy of personally identifiable information accounts for the human aspect of censorship resistance. There is a need to post both publicly and anonymously to avoid needing to employ self-censorship to protect yourself. npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 “Money is a machine that transports the value of your labor into the future” - Bluto from South Side S1 E10: Litcoin. This episode of an amazing black comedy teaches us how money should work and the perils of CEO based cryptocurrencies. npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 I loved Xena back in the day! npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 It worked successfully! Thank you! npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 How do you send custom zaps through emojis with primal? do I need an external service in addition to the emoji? #asknostr npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 GM! npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 Yopen looks beautiful! npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 Are you concerned with regulatory risk of incorporating fedimints into your wallet as a company? This is one of my primary concerns about fedimints. This risk seems too high for people to want to be fedimint custodians. My other concern is risk of law suit from customers which would suggest forming a separate business entity which makes you more vulnerable to the above regulatory risk. npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 Did y’all know that emoji is a Japanese word? It’s 絵文字 which stands for picture character. Mind blown. I legitimately never knew. npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 I think you underestimate what is required to balance security and redundancy. Most people I know don't have a good backup and recovery plan nor a good security plan for their normal digital info. If they have any plan, it's SMS based 2FA and cloud storage. With bitcoin, you need to more carefully consider both security and backup/recovery far more carefully. These are not insurmountable and they are ultimately responsible for the consequences, but I think it's important to have empathy for their predicament and how challenging this is for a beginner. People can need bitcoin and still find securing 24 words challenging. If we maintain empathy, we will continue to make UX as accessible as possible and effectively meet people halfway. npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 Good morning! npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 I like you saying this because for freedom tech to pervail, it has to have better UX than the status quo. npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 I honestly never considered recurring subscriptions as a possible use case for DMVs. Thanks for posting this. npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 @npub12vk…pugg is there a way to send a portion of your lightning balance in the primal wallet to a LN client? I sent a bit too much into the primal wallet. #asknostr #plebchain npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 Gm! npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 Anyone know the answer to this? #note1r67…e6zp #plebchain #asknostr npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 Is there a way to send sats out of the primal custodial wallet to an external lightning client? I only see the option to send to a nostr user. #asknostr npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 GM! npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 I appreciate you posting this. It both made me feel better about my path in this bitcoin journey as well as having patience and compassion for others in their journey. I sometimes get anxious when I get comfortable with my setup and then find that there is more to consider like UTXO consolidation. I also have found myself pushing back on people interested in the ETFs. I recently had to remind myself that something having risks doesn't mean it can't be a net positive for some people. Everyone's values, priorities, use-cases, and threat models are different so I'm trying to be more intentional about matching advice with the unique needs of the person I'm talking to. npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 I just read Hulu's terms of service and realized that by default you waive class action suits but you can opt out of this waiver by mailing them (note, not email, snail mail). npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 Here's a free idea for anyone willing to take this on. Somebody needs to do a news podcast where they read through terms of services and give the layman’s interpretation and recommendation what action should be taken. Or it should be a news segment in a podcast . npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 In the course of trying to explain the relationship between blockchain and Bitcoin, I came up with the following. Hopefully this is an accessible explanation. A blockchain is a chain of transaction blocks that are structured in a way that allows you to verify whether the transaction history is internally consistent. In order to make it as hard as possible to alter history, we need a strategy to agree on what which history is correct, called a consensus mechanism. Bitcoin secures its blockchain by using a consensus mechanism called proof of work, allowing it to come to agreement on which history is correct without a central authority. npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 Yeah, this is frustrating. I find the use of cash very helpful for budgeting. The added friction over ApplePay combined with the visceral feeling of losing funds when spending helps curb spending. I also find that accumulating change helps auto fund date nights with partner. Over a couple of months, it really adds up. I’ve been fortunate that the grocery stores and food spots I go to still accept cash, but I see the trend of going cashless. npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 I can’t believe I’m saying this about a rug, but that’s a nice ass rug!!! npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 Does anyone reading this have any friends, family, or people in your extended social network that live in Texas? I have a friend in the San Antonio area who keeps being pressured into a C section by her current doctor and is looking for a new OBGYN who is vbac proactive (vaginal birth). She has blue cross blue shield Texas and Cigna. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Also if you can share or repost this to get more eyes on this, I would greatly appreciate it. #obgyn #women #childbirth npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 Could you tell me more about the week? What makes it stand out compared to other news papers. I never heard of it before now and am intrigued. npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 🔥 thank you for sharing this! npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 Accidentally liked myself lol.

I had been leery about II due to all the hype but recently been seeing that even though it is like advanced auto correct, there II a lot of useful things that can be done with II to make our lives easier. npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 *FOSS tools npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 I like this process. I'm type of person that loves asking myself questions to guide my studies could see myself enjoying this process. Imight need to explore local FOStolls in the future to implement this workflow for myself in the future. npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 Thanks for posting this. I just recently started learning Rust and didn't know that this project existed. npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 旨そう!去年、東京旅行の時に食べたことあるの。写真を見てから欲しい。 npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 They still exist elsewhere, like South Korea npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 甘い物、大好きだ。タレは以下のリンクと同じ?食べたことないけど、辛くても食ってみようとする。 https://youtu.be/UmuGJxSSAwA?si=pcZ0kI-Y8rhqRI6M npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 美味しそうだけど、残念なことに辛い物が苦手だ npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 If you don't mind, could you describe what a typical workflow looks like for using LLMs to understand code? Also, how well does it work for you? I don't have much experience with AI use but becoming more curious . npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 how do we send some sats to everyone who was involved with making this? Is their a lightning address where splits are being done? npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 My apologies; I meant nostr dot watch. Thank you for your time! npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 @npub1a2c…w83a good morning! I loved your discussion of scalability on What Bitcoin Did podcast. What are your thoughts on the viability of the fedimints in hostile regulatory environment? I agree that from the end-user perspective that fedimints are appealing because of your points about surveillance and censorship risks being reduced. I can also see how evidence of reserves paired with neutral third parties within the multisig quorum can be used to mitigate rug risk. My concern is now for the custodian. The legal and regulatory risk seems too high to be worth it . The threat of being sued by mint participants suggests that an uncle Jim model of running one in your community would require setting up a business entity to shift liability. However, it seems that forming a business entity would open you to legal and regulatory risk from the government. On the other hand, if the custodian's identity is private even from the mint participants, then liability for the custodian is limited to the extent of their OPSEC. However, now we have reduced the extent of trust that can be conveyed to potential participants since we have removed the "punchability" factor that comes from knowing your community custodian in IRL. Reducing that need for trust gets us to something like a Mercury state chain making fedimint seemingly unworkable in a hostile regulatory environment. npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 GM. As we push forward, it may be useful to connect with things that nourish our spirit so we are excerting are energies from a place of abundance, love, and joy and not fear. npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 Thanks for the tip about nostr.relay. Do you think it’s worth it at this time to subscribe to paid relays? I was thinking maybe it could boost the signal of my messages to be more likely to find people with similar interests. npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 Thank you for your response. Part of the problem might be that I mostly follow bitcoiners lol. In my defense, I haven’t found people in my other interest range to follow. As for relay selection, do you know of a resource for relay selection based on interests? npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 Anyone else having issues accessing Primal wallet? I wanted to send sats to it for zapping but the wallet portion of the app is stuck in a loading loop. #asknostr npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 Any advice of making friends on nostr? I feel like I am posting into a void because I don’t tend to get any responses about anything other than bitcoin. My usage of hashtags haven’t seemed to help so I’m wondering if it’s a relay selection issue. Or maybe there just aren’t that many people here interested in mech kb, Nix, fountain pens, or Japanese. Not really a social media person but the freedom tech aspect of nostr pulled me in, so maybe I’m missing something fundamental. #asknostr npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 Using Primal's wallet for receiving zaps for now until I am able to setup a non-custodial solution. So if you like my posts and want to share some love, feel free to zap me! npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 死は避けられないから、人生も避けない方がいいんでしょう。 人生は辛くても子のように愛して抱いていると、終わる時には次の一歩がどちらでも幸せと思う。 Because death is inevitable, it’s probably best if we don’t avoid life. Even when life is hard, if we love and embrace it like a child, then I think that when the end does come, we will be happy no matter what the next step is.

Inside, I feel at peace. Instead of attacking myself, I am loving and working with myself. In my life, I finally found my reason for being. I have also found the path to achieving my purpose. In the past, I often thought that it would be good if I died. Now, I am grateful for waking up each day. Thank you, God. If any Native Japanese speakers are reading this and have suggestions for language improvements, please let me know. #japanese #language #blog npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 Thank you for this post! Tailscale has been on my radar. Do you have any recommendations for an identity provider to use with it? I’m a bit leery of the default options and curious how if it would be good to self host an identity provider or run from a VPS. My threat model highly prioritizes the privacy of Bitcoin holdings and mitigating risk of having funds swept from hot wallet running coin joins. I want to use tailscale to securely communicate with my full node from my other devices. npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 I finished Broken Money!!! It was an amazing book! Highly recommend. npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 It would also be useful to select the relays to broadcast to when send message rather than sending to all relays. For easy selection, clients would ideally support labeling relays. This would allow targeted posting to communities. npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 Another thing that came to mind to avoid relay centralization and both incentivize smaller community focused relays and reducing relay switching friction is tackling issue of finding people. Normally, the only way to find someone is for you to be on the same relay. People get around this by blasting to as many relays as possible but this doesn’t seem sustainable in terms of storage and bandwidth costs. Instead could we could blast notes containing only user info, particularly registered relays. The client could query users you follow and auto include relays based on the latest info blasted. When searching for a user you currently don’t follow, the client could include that user’s relays to your list and then you would retrieve messages from the newly added relays. Paying for relays can help handle the storage and bandwidth increases from blasting user info but it would hopefully be less data and sent less frequently than blasting posts everyone to improve discoverability. A side feature I would like that is slightly tangential to this is allowing for users via shortref of their pubkey in the same style as git commits. This could enable easier searching of profiles without the potential reduction of privacy that comes from using a NIP 5 address using a hosting service. npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 You could also have a special kind for relay advertisements in order to enable discovery of communities from within nostr ecosystem rather than an external website. This type of note could be blasted to many relays. Clients could support clicking a button to auto add relay to your relay list. Storage costs may increase from blasting this type of message but this can be offset by charging to post on relays. npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 This is my second go around for posting a response (lost first draft due to a client issue) so forgive my terseness. Will be happy to elaborate further. Here are some features that I think could help with communities on nostr. Please let me know if some of these already exist. - client support for switching focus of posts that only appear on selected relay - paid relay usage to sustain community and spam control - ability for relay users to report a person/bot to relay - ability for relay operator to see list of reported users/bots ranked by most to least reported for better triaging - Ability for relay operator to kick a user off a relay - to avoid slippery slope to centralization via shared black lists and create a social norm of forgiveness for one’s past actions, allow kicked off users/bots to rejoin paid node by paying again - Client support for easy backup of note data and context (eg threads, posts made within a time window of own posts) - This can be done by connecting to own hosted node - Could also be a value by enabling cloud backups - Client would also support rebroadcasting backuped posts - Relays could use hash based deduplication to ensure above doesn’t blow up storage costs - Having easy backups allows users to permissionlessly migrate to another community relay in case the previous one becomes tyrannical - Support easy creation of multiple identities using similar tech to how bitcoin wallet addresses are generated from a master public and private key pair - This enables having a separate identity per community to improve privacy - Could also support easy backup of master private key via seed phrase like bitcoin Thank you for asking this question. I’m excited to hear other people’s responses. npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 I haven’t had a chance to get zaps setup yet. I want to do it in a self sovereign way and it is taking a bit of doing. I appreciate you being willing to zap me though! npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 How the monetary system works conceptually and how bitcoin is distinguished from it. When I initially got into bitcoin, I thought of it as inferior to other cryptocurrencies because of reduced privacy (as compared to zcash and monero) and centralization risk due to need for ASICs for mining (unlike Monero). I put Bitcoin off for a while until I started listening to podcasts like the Bitcoin Dad podcast that went into the economic arguments for the strength of Bitcoin. Now I see the limitations of bitcoin in terms of reduced privacy and higher barrier to entry for mining as worthwhile trade offs for fixed supply, supply transparency, and settlement security. I do want to see more innovations in privacy but coin joining and good UTXO hygiene makes privacy possible today albeit with financial cost. As for higher barrier to mining, I am hopeful that just like with general purpose computing hardware, the speed and degree of improvements in ASIC technology will decrease over time as well as cost. This would enable more people to become miners and decentralize mining over time. Stratum v2 is also a promising way to decentralize the mining process while maintaining appropriate economic incentives to keep it sustainable. npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 This is just facts! I struggled with mental health most of my life due to worrying about what everyone else thinks. Now that I’m moving away from these worries, it feels like my life has just started. npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 Thanks for posting. This picture prompted me to add “empathy for self and others” to my core values list. I also found the the “First things first” list to be a useful prioritization tool. Finally, the part in “be proactive” about taking responsibility reminded me of a spiritual teacher named Sadhguru who uses the view of responsibility as “one’s ability to respond” to show responsibility as freedom rather than a liability (eg short hand for who to blame). Here’s a video of him talking about responsibility. https://youtu.be/UfkA5i5HXJY?si=-81AOkR6K_ps5Nme npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 I can see how leveraging the fiat credit/debt system while holding sats is a sensible approach. Even in the case of a default, your sats cannot be confiscated as long as the private key material remains solely in your possession. For me, however, I place high value in not being bound to external parties in debt relationships. Dave Ramsey and my personal experiences with consumer financing has shaped my perspective in this regard. I also believe that I store of value is only as good as your ability to spend it eventually. Those two reasons shape my desire to fully purchase a home outright using bitcoin and bypass the lending system entirely. npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 Did you use bitcoin to buy your home? I was thinking about using it as long term savings to fully pay for a home without needing a mortgage. My slight concern is liquidity when needing to sell the bitcoin at the time of buying when using coinjoined sats. As to your comment about coming full circle, I feel like I didn’t appreciate the specialness of bitcoin as property until recently. You need my private key to take sats from me. Meanwhile, the government can take my home due to imminent domain or if I don’t continue paying property taxes, which could be seen as paying rent to the government. npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 I love this picture!

You don’t even think about trying to time the bottom. Since I focus on P2P exchanges, I’m unfortunately not able to automate the process but it’s worth it to have non KYC sats. npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 Thanks for posting this!

I would recommend getting a solder sucker and soldering wick. They will enable you to effectively undo soldering mistakes. It may also be useful to get thinner solder so you have more control over how much you put down. A multimeter is useful for checking current flow through soldered joints so it’s a useful debugging tool. I would also start with a cheap kit and if you can afford it get a second backup kit. I have personally screwed up a keyboard kit before and had to buy another. An alternative to buying a backup keyboard kit is to buy a cheap practice kit to try before working on the keyboard. Good luck on your keyboard building adventure and have fun! npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 Shout out to Tyler the Creator! npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 最近、ZSAヴォヤージャーを買っています。使うのは楽しいです。持った前に番号ローが押しにくいか親指キーの数が足りないか気にしましたのです。理由はほとんど小さいキー配置を使います。けれど、ヴォヤージャーは快適です。番号ローが便利だし、キーの数のおかげで、もっと親指キーが必要ありませんからです。 II recently bought the ZSA voyager keyboard and I’m enjoying using it. Coming from a background of using small keyboard layouts, I was concerned about how difficult it would be to use the number row and whether there were too few thumb keys. However, after using the keyboard, I found it to be comfortable to use. The number row has been useful and due to the number of keys, I don’t feel the need to have more thumb keys. #language #japanstr #japanese #MechanicalKeyboard npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 Good morning! npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 I feel like I need popcorn when reading Broken Money. Lyn is reading US for filth and I’m loving it! On p. 143 and she just got done talking about how we screw over developing countries by raising interest rates to strengthen the dollar relative to their local currencies and then swoop in to “help” by giving them even more dollar denominated loans. #bitcoin #brokenmoney #plebchain npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 @npub1a2c…w83a, does Broken Money contain dark humor or is it just me? After you detail the establishment of the petrodollar system, I soon after read the following. “In 1999, Saddam Hussein of Iraq (which at the time had the second-largest oil reserves) began selling oil in the newly created euro”. At this point I know that this shit won’t fly because the deal was to only be slinging oil for Benjamin’s. Then we get to the following sentence. “The public reason at the time was focused on Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction, which were never found and were never there.” I couldn’t help but think of the Black Bush Dave Chappell Show skit with “yellow cake” uranium. npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 This is a good point. Learning more about how the existing financial system works helped me to accept the volatility aspects of an emerging money because I could clearly see what the current problems are and what bitcoin solves. npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 @npub1a2c…w83a just started reading Broken Money. While reading the intro, I felt relief that I wasn’t crazy for believing that the financial system is breaking and will not last. I also felt like I wasn’t alone and that there are others who want to think deeply about this subject and figure out how to fix things and make it better. I’m loving Chapter 1 so far with its down to earth explanations of money’s origin as a ledger. One example that comes to mind is explaining the mental ledger through swapping chores. npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 Thank you for your explanation of yield and transaction fee insurance! You describing how you use the miner when you need heat or when there is excess energy from solar really hammered home the idea of thinking of home mining as a way to leveraging energy that you already need to expend for your home rather than increasing energy costs to mine. I also appreciate you describing how this can be accomplished in practice through a FPPS mining pool so that you can still earn when you do mine while respecting your energy usage patterns. I look forward to your future post about this subject! npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 Regularly walking made it easier to transition into jogging.

I’m a techie that never was big on social media. However, it’s been difficult to find people who care about things like freedom tech in my offline interactions.

Any advice for how to make meaningful connections for a social media newbie would be greatly appreciated. #asknostr npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 I’m still a lightning novice so definitely do your own research but one concern I have about this approach is safety of your stacked sacks on your lightning node. I’ve heard lightning nodes referred to as fundamentally hot wallets because of having private key on the computer or phone. This would put your sats at more risk than if the private key was in a hardware wallet like a coldcard. This may be schemes where you can separate the lightning node from the private key and that would be worth looking into. However, I am concerned that the lightning node couldn’t function automatically without the private key being with the node. npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 Same problem on IOS. This puts a bit more friction into looking up unknown words when reading Japanese content. npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 Could you elaborate on what you mean by “yield” and “transaction fee insurance” for someone who is skeptical but open minded to home mining? I think when you say “yield”, you are referring to either newly issued bitcoin and/or transaction fees earned by a mined block. I also suspect “transaction fee insurance” may either refer to lowering the effective transaction fees one pays over their lifetime due to block rewards offsetting the costs, or just the fact that when you successfully mine a block that contains your transactions you effectively pay no transaction fees. I think you are arguing that if a home miner makes use of energy sources that are already expended in their living space such as heaters then you can effectively get free bitcoin lotto tickets (ie chance to win block rewards). My concern is that to use such energy sources in a way that does not increase energy demands (significantly or at all) then the probability of successfully mining blocks will be too small to matter of a long period of time. I want to be wrong, so I would love to hear your thoughts to why this is not the case. npub12p82gc4svdusfqdxacsnn8xec5lygcj8t6y6tek2g6p2y0u2p8rqlx6r3e jitters1254 Currently playing SMTIV in Japanese.

It’s because I want to have meaningful experiences with Japanese people. Of course, I could speak with them in English but there will be a slight distance between us. Depending on how comfortable they are with English, as they think about the appropriate response, it will be difficult for them to be in the moment. One the other hand, if I speak in Japanese, they can relax and enjoy the moment. My other reason for wanting to speak Japanese is because I want to experience thinking in another language besides my native tongue. #japanese #language #blog
