Served with potatoes and carrots tonight. https://blossom.primal.net/d553fb414e913682d86a616c55d91bb819ad84d066eb692d6f948b48e6eea45b.jpg npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Got the meat haul in tonight. 10 pounds of Cajun Jerky, 12 pounds of ground venison, 4-2.5 pound leg loin steaks, and 2-3pound back straps (tenderloins). Good mix of pickings to start the season. I'll end up giving away some jerky to close friends & family of course but the rest we'll eat at our house. #nevent1q…lhar https://blossom.primal.net/badd8d6dfe4441d02d404c5b2dd6420ef759b475a5754429f032c6631811e07d.jpg npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner GM Nostr.

I needed it. Working on the exam and taking it seriously. I'll admit I've been weak. Looking forward to reading more. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner @nprofile…64gs to answer your question, I am stacking and mining XBT. What I’ll do with BTC? Not sure yet, but I’m not focusing my time and energy on that network any longer. If you and @nprofile…0tz4 would like to get on a call and chat I’d be happy to catch up, it’s been awhile! npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner https://blossom.primal.net/501e9c54a9beae96a248d159d69928c12db4b8f0a0d67cd94f139681dcfb9c87.mp4 Ignoring XBT will be one of your biggest mistakes. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Looks like a great trip. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Worth the time to listen to. https://youtu.be/dNU74YCQH2Y?si=8DsV8WcdrGKBYwlo npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Damn, glad it didn't cause you to lose control or put you into anaphylaxis. Stupid wasps npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner OK, you can just do things. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner You’re thinking way too far into this and letting my words get to you. Influence is not what causes growth, action is. I’m already on XBT, me yelling louder about it does not change adoption. Plebs deciding to join XBT creates new adoption regardless if I exist or not. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner I believe we are on the same page actually, it’s simply a matter of timing and approach. My point is, don’t go out pushing people into XBT or anything for that matter. It’s nonsense to pass unsolicited advice even if it’s good advice. This is what politicians do. I believe in X thing, and therefore you should too because I know what’s best for you. That’s wrong. What I am suggesting is let them feel the weight of what is burdening them (fiat or SHA256 coin) discover the root cause, and find their own path out. Can you assist them once they go through that discovery? Sure. But don’t try to push them to have that awakening just because you are two steps ahead. Let them figure it out and decide if their values align with the mission or not. If they simply adopt your advice without learning on their own, you are potentially doing more harm than good. I can’t get someone to be healthy by telling them they need to eat better and workout. Only they can do that through their own discipline and action. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Here are some thoughts #nevent1q…z3r3 npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Don't Orange Pill, let people come to XBT when they are ready https://blossom.primal.net/0ad6975301dba9634ebb56df0055c8212ae6f7643d6c462717c55fa08a0d0fac.mp4 npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner I appreciate your comment as I know you were pro BIP110. If NGU is what you feel is paramount, you may in fact be in the right place, at least until the characteristics that ensure NGU are compromised, I believe that is the risk in SHA256. With XBT we are ensuring that those first principles that generate the NGU are going to remain in tact for generations, no compromise. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner No ill will received or intended. The network that is truly Bitcoin will prevail regardless of what the masses believe. That's why I'm choosing to focus my effort in a network that I believe is reality not just more popular. Clearly we differ on that, and that's OK. Same root cause, different solutions to address it. Time will tell us what's right. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Datum does. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Never shilled anything, simply explained the differences I'm seeing between BTC and XBT. You do whatever you want. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Yes it always boils down to Luke instead of the code. I'll admit he's said some off the wall things and is very blunt on everything. But is his character what we care about or the protocol? If that's the case let's look at the core devs and see what's hiding there... npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner You always have the best takes dude. Thanks for the support npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner I agree with you that fixed supply flies in the face of every existing economic theory. However suggesting that it’s going to stop spending is an unjustifiable claim. Humans have infinite demand for resources including energy, materials, health services, food, water etc. therefore we will all need to spend something in exchange for those resources eventually. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Nope, but did you consider those who were censors? npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner I’ve unlocked the secret to success on this protocol it appears, here’s how. 1. Have an unharmful yet controversial opinion, record your thoughts and supporting evidence. 2. Someone like @nprofile…gssp sees your note and reposts to his following (thanks man!) 3. Let the shitstorm ensue. Welcome to Nostr, where everyone hates everyone! #nevent1q…yqc3 npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner When you were running CoreV28 did you consider yourself censoring then? npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner I’m not but I’d be glad to join a call sometime npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner XBT is full of builders, BTC is full of parasites. https://blossom.primal.net/21aefee78a9fb866406b9a0c0816d6e5cd70c5c356467aa60f869d5e1150d031.mp4 npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Who knows but why would you willingly ignore the possibility of something that powerful? npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Good. How do you ensure that doesn't happen in 2035? npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner It doesn't, that's a fact. However it does explicitly state that Bitcoin is peer to peer electronic cash. Therefore for Bitcoin to truly be peer to peer without a 3rd party, you must retain the ability to run a node. By not running a node, you are relying on someone else to broadcast and verify your transactions. What happens when that node says f you, I'm not doing that? npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner For anyone who follows the SHA256 chain and expects their kids and grandkids to be able to run their own node in the future is the definition of insanity. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Yes you are correct, it exposed the rot. My wording could have been better than saying the fork failed. What I intended was that it failed to activate on the SHA256 chain but is now active and thriving on the Blake2b chain. And yes I guess I was speaking metaphorically about the nodes that were a part of the Knots/BIP110 group and then carried on the Blake2b being a fraction of a percent. That could have been worded better as well. So we went from say 20,000 Knots nodes to now just about 5,000 Blake2b nodes. Honestly, that’s great. I’m impressed with how many have done the work to get there this early. Couldn’t agree more, the energy is entirely different. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Time, health and family. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner To say you believe we all exist in our own realities, and also say that you believe mine is distorted would suggest that yours is the baseline. Rather condescending no? Independent of block size, how would you fight off a MASF at this point? Better yet, how will you defend your ability to run a node that is storing illegal content? npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner All good man. Point me to the one who knows all the answers. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Great question, something I've considered myself as well. Bitcoin is still Bitcoin without the massive hashrate, it's just a lot harder to defend and protect. That's why I believe the fully sovereign Bitcoiner is and individual who self custody's, runs a node and contributes hashrate through mining. That is what I'm seeing happen on the Blake2b chain by individuals. Yes, there have been attacks already, but they have been addressed swiftly and in the favor of maintaining first principles. In contrasting that to Monero, yes it has a higher hashrate and market cap but it does not maintain the first principles of Bitcoin. The first being a fully auditable block chain where you can sum the UTXO and issuance to see if your coins are real, or if supply has been added. This is the biggest con with XMR. In addition, tail emissions are not a hard supply cap, and therefore not one of the first principles of Bitcoin. XBT maintains the same UTXO set from the genesis block, fully auditable, and fixed supply. This gives it an advantage over XMR in my opinion. But it's like protecting an infant right now in a sea of sharks, a rogue miner could attempt to 51% attack the network hence why proposals for XBT mining to be DATUM exclusive are being passed around. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner An open disposition on Bitcoin Blake2b (XBT) https://blossom.primal.net/3161460f7fb4c57760107c0c7f92afdc854c68e5e0660ce58ce29bd43262648a.mp4 npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Thanks poorguy npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner GM Ares! npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner @nprofile…rxfn dude I got it done today. #nevent1q…k9ks npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner GM Nostr, eventful morning.

I travelled the whole month of July and part of August. The match took place on one of the days I was home but I wasn't able to go. Too much I needed to do at the house and too little time with my family. I'm glad I didn't for those reasons.

Will have to unplug the dryer until I can put in a dedicated circuit out in my garage I guess npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner I know, I know, I'm usually good about it but didn't want to run to the garage just to cut the one piece I needed done. Lucky for now npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner A pro might question my work but I'm trying 😂 its definitely going to last just based on the sheer volume of stone being put in. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Patio update. I hate to say but after measuring again I had to disassemble the wall and rebuild. I was about 1.5” low from where I needed it so I packed more gravel base underneath to raise it. Good side of that was I was able to focus more on getting everything as square and level as possible. You think, ah a degree off here or there, oh well. Then you get another layer up and start placing pavers that no longer interlock. It’s got to be perfect or darn close. Back filled with gravel and cemented the wall in place with adhesive. Added a drain in the low point that goes under another wall below our deck just incase we have water rolling back towards the house. It will hit the drain and drain tile which I’ll line with gravel and be carried away from the foundation. Storms are coming so my wife is heading to grab more materials while I clean up and start again tomorrow. https://blossom.primal.net/9e67c123b6be5e90b856372c6730d5225fe7bf682423c7508d705dfb793ec8ec.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/db5d6dfb23ab2c6cfc35bee2874eb64dec62245fa947646fcf2c74cfde488028.mov https://blossom.primal.net/4600ec628a69ede38658f897e9996c2d71a0e4c6a9fae1a422522a9776a9751a.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/868389fad1ac245bf535db0f0bd3c0eecbd22788e5f9578b4f089f193a56f00c.jpg npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Small project started this weekend. Needed a landing for the deck to avoid the mud so I'm adding an 8' x 12' patio at the stairs. My property slopes in multiple directions so I needed to add a mini retaining wall for the edge on one side. This took me all day to get the ground cut, tamped, and base (with somehelpf from my boys, wife and dog of course). I've built a 6' x 20' retaining wall elsewhere on my property before but this is my first attempt at a patio. Really trying hard to keep everything level so it looks decent in the end. Well see! https://blossom.primal.net/b2541b959b1752c171aac52a853ac6242d8ca8368be6c6076b6a93426e332ad5.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/59b76bd579a2c1267d4ed1b60fe19d1fba1108d88fc7e7b87e1228b02547c311.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/d60d87106264ccdb4fe549aba698e4dc387d71be489841aeca7469a72f93ab96.jpg npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner 😂 npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner GM!! Let's roll npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner That's sick. I didn't think the photos were real at first.

Feel way more secure, don't forget the dice 😊 npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Absolutely, I think everyone should work to increase their household hashrate every year. I only have 6TH/s mining solo using my node but if every pleb in the network ran a node and had even small miners we would be much more decentralized. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Agreed, I would also suggest the development of more implementations other than Core. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsppj0j589d5t87ru6e97409veg905zrnru65rpgnn8sx53zkf5qfsafm26z npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Looking at Mempool. Find it odd that there are about a dozen pending blocks and the farthest one is a stack of 36 blocks with around 60,000 transactions. Personally I've never seen this much traffic on the base layer. Mass swaps before the BIP or spam attack on the way? Who knows what will happen these days. https://blossom.primal.net/fafbcd4c2ba2c897d02f9a7de7005ce12450a24d363b71a3ec5767b98bb9bb47.png npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner If the miners don't start signalling, we know they are captured.

Mostly looking for airgap ability with QR, dice rolling for entropy and 24 word seed phrase with pass phrase. Plus I don't want anything with Bluetooth preferably, and do not want to plug anything in to a PC. So far these are the options I've identified that seem ideal for a 2 of 3 multi sig. Seedsigner Keystone 3 Pro Foundation Passport Blockstream Jade I don't know of anything else yet that I'm confident in, not saying there aren't more options. Trezor would be another that could be added to Multi Sig but you have to plug it in. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Looks like a lot of bitfluencers are going to be back to the fiat mines after their supporters part ways. Not a bad thing. It's ridiculous to think that people should be able to support a lifestyle by talking about subjects they are ignorant to, shilling products. Welcome back to the mines, you're going to have to work here, sorry. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner Bitcoin has made me question so much as well. Couldn't imagine losing a stack and then truing to rebuild but what other option is there?

I can’t speak from experience but I would think you could add storage to make it more useful for that. npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu sammagner It is overkill for just a node but there are plenty of additional apps to make use of, and tons of available storage. I use mine as a personal cloud server via Nextcloud. So all my phone photos backup directly to my server instead of paying Apple or Google subscriptions and giving them my data.
