Last Notes npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Ok is there a specific story or challenge behind #PuffPuffPaint or is it as simple as drawing something and posting it? I’m curious the origin story of there is a good one 😁 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann It takes everybody some time to figure it out, but they all come around eventually. "the only crypto anyone should be involved in is #Bitcoin" - Dave Portnoy https://v.nostr.build/ml5Dk.mp4 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Your house isn't worth more... Normies will get mad if you point this out. https://m.primal.net/JEvI.jpg https://m.primal.net/JEvJ.png npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Great exaplanation from Spike Cohen about the Supreme Court decision that just came down. This could have an enormous, fundamental impact on the avalanche of bureaucratic bullshit that has drowned this country over the past 40 years... (link to Arceris's article on it for more info) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- " For those who don't understand what Chevron Deference is, and why SCOTUS ended it, here's the long and short of it: A family fishing company, Loper Bright Enterprises, was being driven out of business, because they couldn't afford the $700 per day they were being charged by the National Marine Fisheries Service to monitor their company. The thing is, federal law doesn't authorize NMFS to charge businesses for this. They just decided to start doing it in 2013. Why did they think they could away with just charging people without any legal authorization? Because in 1984, in the Chevron decision, the Supreme Court decided that regulatory agencies were the "experts" in their field, and the courts should just defer to their "interpretation" of the law. So for the past 40 years, federal agencies have been able to "interpret" laws to mean whatever they want, and the courts had to just go with it. It was called Chevron Deference, and it put bureaucrats in charge of the country. It's how the OHSA was able to decide that everyone who worked for a large company had to get the jab, or be fired. No law gave them that authority, they just made it up. It's how the ATF was able to decide a piece of plastic was a "machine gun". It's how the NCRS was able to decide that a small puddle was a "protected wetlands". It's how out-of-control agencies have been able to create rules out of thin air, and force you to comply, and the courts had to simply defer to them, because they were the "experts". Imagine if your local police could just arrest you, for any reason, and no judge or jury was allowed to determine if you'd actually committed a crime or not. Just off to jail you go. That's what Chevron Deference was. It was not only blatantly unconstitutional, it caused immeasurable harm to everyone. Thankfully, it's now gone. We haven't even begun to feel the effects of this decision in the courts. It will be used, for years to come, to roll back federal agencies, and we'll all be better of for it. And that's why politicians and corporate media are freaking out about it." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://bitcoinmagazine.com/legal/supreme-court-decision-overturns-chevron-a-victory-for-judicial-authority-and-bitcoin npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann It really is that simple... People are always demanding i tell them what #Bitcoin is good for. It's money that goes up in value as society improves, rather than money that rots endlessly despite the work we do to make things better. https://i.nostr.build/Q7Vrv.png npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann It's crazy how many refuse to see the simple reality of our government agencies and what they are doing right out in the open... Kudos to Dr. Phil for realizing how insane this is. https://v.nostr.build/POgjd.mp4 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Awesome 👏🏻 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Agree they should all be in prison, but I don’t see any attempt to excuse something for him here, to the contrary I see them trying to criminalize something obviously *not* criminal because he refused to go along with possible establishment fraud, while letting everyone else *literally* get away with murder. It seems like the most insane case of selective punishment I could conjure up. They could actually get him for crimes, but they are prosecuting him for the one thing that is NOT a crime, because i think they don’t want to set a precedent that might actually mean presidents and corrupt officials could be prosecuted for the horrible shit they do during “business as usual.” 🤷🏻♂️ npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann What is the policy for closing the channel? Example: Let’s say I order a 5mil sat channel, then it gets used daily for the entire 6 month “lease” or whatever. Would you close it because the time ran out, or would you only close channels that are inactive and thus not paying any sats for staying online? npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann This is awesome! Gonna test this out. #note128x…g68g npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Inflation is literally a policy of explicit, persistent impoverishment of the middle and lower classes to support the corporate and banking class. Anyone who supports it should be treated delicately, like a brainwashed cult member, because that’s what they are. The idea that literal forced poverty is good for the economy is equal parts retarded and insane. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Hell isn’t that the point? Wouldn’t someone WANT it to be thoroughly investigated if it wasn’t fraud? It should be gleefully welcomed, just count the shit publicly and show the verification, it would embarrass the shit out of him. But instead they prosecute him? How fucking stupid could they be? Everyone is just going to believe him. In fact **I** kinda believe him now because they decided to attack him and criminalize him for *overturning the election* when literally nothing of the sort happened. He demanded to have the results confirmed, and they said “no, it is illegal to ask for that.” THAT is what sounds like bullshit to me. And that sounds like exactly what a liar would do. I don’t know, that’s just my 2 sats. I think they are all corrupt liars and they want us to be special afraid of Trump because his ego is simply so enormous that he won’t do whatever they say, and they can’t have that. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Honestly I think every single election should be investigated. I think the whole thing is total bullshit and everyone is cheating massively. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I don’t see anything here for immunity from committing crime. In fact what he lost over sounds ridiculous to me. It says that he has immunity from having “spoken to Mike Pence leading up to January 6th.” But that his charge of “trying to overturn the election results” will not be dismissed… which also seems ridiculous. He didn’t try to overturn the election results, he claimed there was fraud (which there is certainly reason to suspect) and tried to begin an investigation. Which if there was fraud is exactly what any sensible person would want would it not? “Congress may not criminalize the president's conduct in carrying out the responsibilities of the executive branch under the Constitution." I mean this actually makes sense, imo. Where does it suggest that a president can commit a crime and get immunity? If we’re actually going to be concerned about that, we should start with starting dozens of wars without any declaration or congressional vote; murdering hundreds of thousands of people extra legally; funding genocide of other countries with tax payer dollars; committing a plethora of war crimes; direct corruption; insider trading; and the long, long list of shit that every president does and nobody even begins to care about. But I’m supposed to care, not that Trump and every other president *committed war crimes,* but that he tried to investigate election fraud in an election system that seems to be clearly bullshit and rife with fraud? Am I missing something here? 🤨 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann The “hack your life using organic kale and bitcoin” fucking got me 🤣🤣 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann What… is a titty pack? And do I want to see pictures? npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann This is actually great 😂 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Yeah I don’t get it. If you actually care about censorship resistance, free speech and the rest, why aren’t you even *trying* to use the tech that literally gives you those things. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann That’s funny I’ve found the opposite. I have a lot of followers on Twitter, but generally always had low engagement. It always seemed those “pumping algorithms” were doing the opposite (I may have been having fall out from my unapproved vaccine facts and related comments). I even did a comparison almost a year ago where I did a series of the exact same post here and on Twitter at the same time, and there was almost always more engagement on #Nostr Nostr right now only has like 50k active daily users or something I think. Yet the difference is pretty stark. The only exceptions are when something catches momentum like my Guy’s 2 Sats videos sometimes do. They do really well on Twitter generally. Funny though, #Nostr is the only one that brings in a bunch of sats for those posts. Can very easily get 20-50k sats from a solid video. Which is way better than the nothing at all that I get from KYC Twitter.💩 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann GM It’s time that we stop playing their game. https://i.nostr.build/ro5ya.jpg npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann #1 - The attic https://v.nostr.build/qvjZ.mp4 #2 - The modified miner (this is the attic one before the move) https://i.nostr.build/o5qL.jpg #3 - The Basement (there's only one in the basement now plus now big computer where the other one was sitting) https://i.nostr.build/ml5Bq.jpg npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Found it, FYI you can use @npub14pf…7mwj super easy to search through a transcript and make a clip from any youtube link (its the CASCDRVision tool). It's legit cool aF Yeah Robbie and I are doing a live show after his porch tour stand up when he comes to my area. And then Dave is talking about the conference and we are actually doing something there but i don't think that's public yet 😘 https://v.nostr.build/7G2kn.mp4 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Dave said he and I were working on something? This is actually news to me 😆 99% chance I’m on board though, lmao. I def should see about doing another show with him. Been too long. Gonna get to hang with Robbie the Fire next weekend too. That’s gonna be a blast. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann GM https://i.nostr.build/BRWnl.jpg npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Have you had issues with Obsidian taking forever to load up? Or could this have something to do with my setup or maybe a plugin or something specifically? I swear it takes longer to load Obsidian than it does to boot my computer. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Highly likely this person was only hired as part of some DEI quota 😆 #note1kyp…260x npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I will always have #Bitcoin to thank for letting me and my wife focus entirely on our family, for giving me a path to doing what I wanted in life, and to just be able to take the insane risk of creating content, speaking my mind, reading into a mic, writing and creating film, and now developing our own applications, with the hope that what we build would be valuable enough to see a return. Without it, I don't know where we would be. Today our life is our choice, and that is a freedom I don't ever want to take for granted. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann GM Many people fail to recognize that the biggest thing inflation and debt steals from us more than anything else is *time.* If our money were simply sound, we would be getting *more* time back every year instead of losing it. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I’ve been using it. Legit I think it’s better than ChatGPT npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann What's crazy about this is that its a massive asymmetric win for the first countries who do this. Especially a smaller country, if they invest as heavily as they possibly can into #Bitcoin, then when other nations get on board, they will get massive multiples of their cost back relative to the gain of everyone else. I know that seems obvious in a way, but consider that it means a dying currency could literally save itself, by printing itself to purchase bitcoin... It's basically like the reverse of the benefit of the world reserve gets when being printed -- they get to dilute it across all other nations. The #Bitcoin treasury *gains* value in proportion to the adoption across all other nations. #note1zzh…9vtv npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Yo @npub1awy…79n4 Welcome to nostr! npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I’m thinking of hosting as much as I can on PearDrive when it launches, but I can’t seem to find the DNC emails. If anyone has a copy of the emails please let me know! npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann GM Don’t take everything too seriously npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Oh, lol. I thought you were bringing some fiat shit to Nostr. As a joke it was actually funny too 😆 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Can you literally not see the meaning or context of the meme or that it’s hilarious, but all you can care about is what their race? How might we describe someone who focuses on that above all else? Should only black people post funny reactions that include a black person? Or should only women post memes with females? Maybe we should just have an official list for exactly what each race can and cannot do, say, share, or post? That way we can make sure everyone stays in their race lane? Seems like a great way to solve racism, amiright? OR, and hear me out, maybe we ought to just stop projecting a racial context onto everything as the most important thing to be concerned about because it’s stupid and that’s what racists do? 🤔 Just sayin npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I feel super conflicted about this 😆 In one way this is legit cool AF. In another way, someone *else* is getting paid sats to have things read in *my* voice… it feels… wrong 😅 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann https://m.primal.net/IyGY.gif https://m.primal.net/IyGa.png npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Yes. Shooting for every major OS. Not sure if we will have that on alpha release, but without question. That’s a huge part of the goal. All of my previous phone backup/sync tools have been extremely subpar npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann If we wanted to name it by its dominant use case, it would be a slave labor and political thought control system. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann 1000% The entire thing remains a travesty of justice and even how he was released was a total scam. #note1esu…0ryp npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann GM, our situation and our choices are OUR fault. And that’s fantastic news. If it’s someone else’s fault, then there’s nothing we can do about it. Luckily it’s our fault, which also means we can fix it. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Literally working on our application for this as we speak. Would love feedback when we get it released. Alpha shouldn’t be too far away now. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Oooh, gotcha. Yes it can handle those. I may not have the deets on exactly what it does, but I’m pretty sure it does the hole punching and then uses that connection to establish the UDP. I actually think Mad said Keet is run over UDP now that I think of it… 🤔 If I’m wrong about Keet specifically then it’s something else built on Pear, because I remember talking to Maf about this exact thing. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann YEEESSS GET THIS MOTHERFUCKER ON NOSTR IMMEDIATELY #FreeAssange #note18wr…flm5 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann NEXT UP #FreeRoss 😎🔥🫡 #note1dqv…p0jh npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann HOLY SHIT! Julian is free! He plead guilty to a single count of conspiracy to obtain and disclose classified documents and was sentenced to 62 months already served!! Hell yeah!! I literally never thought I would see this. 🔥🔥🔥🔥 #FreeAssange https://i.nostr.build/6G7Pq.jpg npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann WAIT, WHAT!? I've heard nothing about this. link please npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann its encrypted by default. The whole system is built on public/private keys so it doesn't really matter if its "http" or "https." In fact, as I understand it https would require approval by the certificate authority and registration and all that, which just reintroduces third parties. Best to avoid them entirely, imo. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I’ve been slowly and casually waiting for hacks of all of these institutions to finally reveal all the crap we know is obviously true. What better target could you possibly get? Also waiting for someone to hack and leak all of Fauci’s emails and for a dump of everything possible from the Pfizer servers. It would be a gold mine. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann OH! Man I hope this becomes public! We might actually get an audit of the Fed for the first time ever!!! npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Every sane person is afraid that we are headed toward WW3, and literally none of our “leaders” are even talking about peace or deescalation. That is because WE will be the ones who have to die by the millions for all of the petty bullshit that our tyrants-of-choice engage in to protect their egos and to look like “the bigger dog.” Their insecurities are paid for by the blood of innocent people, and they have zero concerns with paying the bills. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann GM! The government is a bunch of lunatic tyrants who do not care about you in the slightest. They only want your approval insofar as people have to listen to *them.* when they get their power, you become just an annoyance. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann That still seems ridiculous and the last sentence there seems to be at odds in my thinking to the rest of it. That would be like charging me capital gains if I turn in my physical papers stocks to get the digital stock certificates on the NYSE in place of them. Same denomination, just a different form, in the case of NYSE a custodial version of the same asset. Or another example would be if I exchanged dollars for a gift card of the same amount. That this would be reportable. It just seems absurd. If I’m not exchanging for a different asset entirely, but just the same one at a different location or under a different degree of control, then how is going from single sig to multi-sig, from on chain to Lightning, or from sovereign to custodial not the same thing? I mean how do they possibly explain the difference between me swapping to LBTC versus having BTC paper in an account on Cash App? God the government is fucking retarded. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann 58K gang were always the chosen ones. #Bitcoin npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Why would it be a taxable event? They are denominated in the exact same thing. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Maaaan did you guys put a damn token in this thing? If that’s what this is, I don’t think you realize how much this ensures the project has no future. And just how quickly it’s going to turn off a *ton* of people up here, all while ruining the incentives of the very project. Am I reading that right? https://i.nostr.build/dwBrY.jpg npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Naming conventions in this are all over the place. Making it sound kinda ridiculous, imo. Ships, and plunder, Sire, all make it more confusing, not less, imo. No offense, just trying to give honest feedback. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann This seems like a crazy awesome idea in theory but that it could run into a million problems in practice. How much setup is needed to run this on any random machine and how do you boot into it exactly? I might actually like to chat with you out of band about this just to get a better idea of things if you have some time. Mind if I DM? npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Oh wait I’m dumb, you’re talking about the original image, not the comment about Hawk Tuah npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann lol, not sure I understand the reference on this one. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Ooohhh so Lightning actually swaps to liquid immediately? I see. I thought it was a channel ON liquid and that fee was only when moving liquidity, kinda like LSP model with Phoenix npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Damn, thanks for the heads up. I haven’t explored in depth, only did a few transactions and one swap to test it out. So far so good but I’ll keep an eye out for delays and fees as I bounce around. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Interesting though Jan3 was a subsidiary or partner or something because I had been certain Aqua was a Blockstream project, would’ve bet sats that it was on their website at one time even. Maybe the project was handed over and they aren’t really involved anymore? 🤔 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Ok so the new @npub1ajl…zx3q is pretty dope actually. Still doesn’t accept withdrawal invoices from something like @npub1v5u…n0v5 though. But I love the liquid and lightning combined balance as “spending account” and it’s far simpler to move between them than I had suspected. @npub1jg5…6n8n any chance you were planning on implementing compatibility with the withdrawal invoices from fountain or @npub1ear…ja5j ? Would be awesome to see 🙏🏻 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann 🤣🤣 I don’t think I’d call that “success” exactly 🤣 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann There is no such thing as overnight success. There are simply events that occur that can skyrocket people into apparent success, that result from years of tiny improvements that put them on the right place, with the right mindset, at the right time. The event or opportunity wasn’t the success, it was the result. There are thousands of opportunities presented to each of us at all times. We never run out of opportunities. The question is, are we ready to meet them when they arrive. Slow and steady wins life. #note18qm…xexa npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann 🤣🤣🤣 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Maybe I should just start raising some sats for this npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Works fine for Keet and Holesail, so seems like it must npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Right now pear runtime is vanilla JavaScript. But they are building things to make integration easier. And if you just use it for the connection you can always simply use it to then establish an SSH tunnel or whatever to do any other kind of communication necessary. Not sure how integration would work, but the Pear Runtime platform is still very fresh, only released in Feb of this year. So no other languages yet but the community building with it is picking up momentum quickly. It’s largely because people are seeing it just work. I literally have been connecting *tons* of services between devices with this and Holesail just dropped a mobile app. I already have a setup to run LLMs off my Linux with the ability to upload files and it’s crazy how fast it all is. I’ve got a video waiting to publish on unlisted YouTube right now. Really short just showing how it works. I’ll post here when we publish npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Yes #note1v90…9982 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann It’s based off the protocol at pears.com. He built it on top of Pear runtime. Same thing we are using for PearDrive… which will hopefully see the light of day sometime soon 😆😅 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann P2P. It’s a DHT model just like BitTorrent. And uses a 2-way hole punching method to get through any firewall. It’s pretty slick. It’s really an extension of BitTorrent when you look at its history and the development of it. This has been a 10+ year project continued from previous ones that were incrementally making BitTorrent more data agnostic so you could do anything with it, rather than only serve static files. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Yeah, just thinking for the sake of user setup, having it integrated would be so awesome. The more pieces the typical user needs, the less likely they do it. I’ve always felt self custody options were always limited to the greatest degree by needing 4 different tools or wallets to get it all to work. Rather than the main tools finding the easiest, more reliable thing, and integrating it. But yes, this can be done just with the external app like Tailscale. Just feels a little clunkier. Would love to see direct use of it in the apps. Again… will donate and then also try to raise more sats for this. Just throwing it out there 🤣 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann How much to integrate Holesail? It’s Tailscale but without servers, no accounts, and no complicated setup. Just scan QR and you’re connected, encrypted, fast, easy. I’d pay good sats to bring this to life. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I had been, but switched to LNDconnect but it loses connection a lot and I can’t figure why. Mechanic said he was using it and had incredible results. Now I’m just trying to get it to work with Holesail, which has become my dominant means of connecting to anything. I was actually thinking of putting a bounty with you guys to see if you could integrate it. Far and away, imo, the best thing that ever happened for simple, P2P, fast connections. I uninstalled Tailscale the other day because I’ve just been using Pear stack tools for literally everything. Lightning fast npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I know I could do that, and that would be great for my personal setup. But I like to run the vanilla versions of popular wallets that I could actually recommend to someone to onboard them to bitcoin/lightning. So I know it’s just going to work. And I also know how *their* interactions with it could run into problems or hiccups. I had been using Phoenix as my main onboarding wallet for quite a while. The alternatives are fine for me, just because I’m used to using 80% alpha or beta level software and dealing with the pain (and fun) of it all. But I never try to get friends and family onto those tools until they feel as seamless and simple as Phoenix did. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann No I haven’t. The main way I’ve been using Zeus lately actually has been connected to my Start9. But I think most of the frustrations and lagging in that setup is just the connection method. It’s really hard to troubleshoot some of these too because of how many moving pieces there are. Like @npub1mut…23vg is running entirely in the browser, so it’s hard to tell if there’s a route problem or a resource problem on my devices for *finding* routes when a payment goes pending and ultimately fails. Then with @npub1xnf…lpr5, is it the connection, is it my Start9, is it a liquidity problem, or is it something in Zeus itself that is causing a delay or poor performance for some payment or update? It’s just not easy to troubleshoot. Mind you these both work really well in a lot of ways and I comment because I’m using both of them regularly. My current setup just runs into little frustrations and hiccups far more regularly than my old one. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Probably. Didn’t they do it once before? npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Is that it you think? Is it just the insane position and liquidity they have? I was thinking there had to be something in the software ability to “intercept” a payment and then forward it into the opening of a new channel. I had it work seamlessly the first time I did it with Mutiny and was super jazzed, but tried it again a few times specifically to test and it got hung up every time. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann What’s funny is that the problems with @npub1xnf…lpr5 and @npub1mut…23vg don’t even seem to be wallet related specifically, it’s something with their LSP Implementations that just don’t work most of the time. Either that or they are having liquidity problems maybe. I can’t figure it out. The wallet functions and features are awesome, but payments are just crazy hit or miss. I had just gotten super spoiled with Phoenix. Their implementation just worked and I don’t know what magic trick they had but I wish they would share how the hell they did it so seamlessly. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Something I’ve noticed since I lost Phoenix wallet, is that our ability to communicate or “partner” between projects is kinda horrible. Example: One of the best ways to get new users sats without any onboarding friction have been services like Fountain and Zebeedee. Yet literally none of the wallets will read or accept a withdraw from those services. Phoenix was the only one that would just do it. Then the same problem with Cash App, which is easily a dominant service for buying and using #Bitcoin and now #Lightning. Yet none of my wallets will let me enter in an amount if the invoice is for zero sats… which all Cash App invoices are blank. I thought these would just be growing pains about a year or 2 ago, but neither have changed at all in that time span. Are the wallet builders just not using their own wallets? (I’ve had a super shitty day so if this is overly critical I apologize, but for lightning to also be a pain in my ass today is just icing on the cake. I’ve tried 5 different wallets and 2 different UI for btcpay trying to get a simple withdraw from Fountain to work) npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Go fuck yourself. I don’t want to feel better or rationalize this… but also thanks 😆 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann You ever have one of those days where every fucking time you start to make a little progress, something breaks and sets you back to an hour back to before you even got started? I’ve been there at least 3 times today. And now the construction guys just cut the fucking internet. The show is going to be down for a few days just because I don’t think I have the energy for anything anymore. If another device breaks down on me inexplicably I might just put every electronic device into a pile in the backyard and set it on fire. Hope someone else out there is having a good day npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Due to it being entirely P2P the media and files tend to have trouble becuase the other party has to be online at the exact same time. they are working on a "blind forwarding cache" which is what they do for messages, that allows any of your other peers to auto download a certain amount of media in an encrypted blob, to forward to the people in the rooms with you later on, if no one is online at the same time. Because of this it will all work better if you have more rooms and more peers, but to start with, its really helpful to have a device that runs Keet all the time to kind of act like a sync server for you and anyone you have rooms with. that's what i do with my Linux machine media and files will improve a lot and they have a lot of tools going toward that problem. Plus I've got something that I think we will be able to integrate that should be really awesome in that regard, so with that i say just give it time, unfortunately. Its the nature of no servers and there's still some kinks to work out. Hence "beta" npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I’ve mentioned it loosely but haven’t made extensive use of it so haven’t discussed it much yet. But loving to see a bunch of alternatives like this pop up. Can you use lightning? I want to say i don’t remember seeing it when I looked around but I may be remembering incorrectly. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Our focus needs to be on how we are building communities to connect the creators and the audience more directly and more organically. Zaps are so important to this and show just how powerful the shift could be when we put these technologies of #Nostr, the #Pear Stack, #Lightning and #Bitcoin and all of this together in *just* the right recipe... What are your thoughts on this? #note1ppv…kwmr npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Interacting once a year to trade goods is not a broad, active economy. And even in those instances almost universally a monetary good would immediately arise specifically *because* they cannot have long term relationships without trust, or an independent (non-trust) medium. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Everyone needs to watch this to get a dose of sobriety. I think we have already become jaded with what the internet is, and we forget just what a revolutionary thing it is, and why so many of the things we despise or try to act as if we are "above it" are crucial elements to the entire reason why we are here. This is ALL about connecting people. The goal isn't to remove that, or evolve beyond it, its about regaining OUR control over the reigns of our connections, what we see, who we talk to, and what we say. An incredible technology of connection, has become a technology of control, and we need to redesign it as a technology of freedom. Anyway... its just a good video 😆 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zUndMfMInc npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Technically, what they “own” and provide is a system of network connections because we failed to build technology that allows us to make those connections without them. And they have exploited that simple fact to the most insane and abusive degree possible. So while you’re right in a sense, i think it’s more precise not to say they don’t provide anything at all, but that they have created a giant closed environment so they can rent seek off of everyone who joins it to find other people (rather than something they provide directly). They’ve tried to “own” the market square and the very idea of others’ communication. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Yes this was already addressed and we laughed about it. Funny you coming here to do the same thing… not read. And then puffing your chest about it. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann It has not been working well. It has created a bloated, corrupt financial system, it has created the largest debt imbalance in human history. It has systematically stolen from the middle and lower classes at the benefit of the political and counterfeit class. It has funded a century of literal total, never ending war. The power of a select, privileged group to unilaterally counterfeit money that everyone else is forced to use is the most absurd, corrupting power that society could possibly create. The idea that this is good for anything is beyond ridiculous. It is a horrendous cancer upon society. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Work within the world according to what *actually is,* not what you wish it would be or what sounds good. Look honestly at the world. The world is messy and there are no perfect solutions. There are only trade offs. BUILD with principle, set goals according to what you wish and want to see in the world. But do not delude yourself about reality or you kill your chance of actually achieving what you hope for. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann It’s because people are used to money being worthless shit to get rid of and accumulate as debt because it’s infinitely bleeding value. The idea of it being something to actually be thoughtful about and wanting to hold long term is bizarre for most people. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann That’s why you do it for spending. Is purely using a custodial/fiat service for accessing the payment network. Not for holding/valuing the money. You don’t put your entire savings and income on a prepaid VISA card on TheBitcoinCo, you do like $50 to buy something online for $50. They literally only last for a few months before expiring. Nothing about it is long term or built for large amounts. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann … 🤦🏻♂️ You still did not listen to anything I said in the other thread. I have no clue why you are so stubborn and defensive about this, but I’m muting you since you can’t get over it for whatever reason. Have a good day. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Not sure. A lot of pieces to put into place, a lot of network to build. And we can’t just build networks arbitrarily because they are only viable with a particular geographic density. (ie. 100K drivers all over the world is useless, 100K drivers is one big city is entirely self sustaining) I think the best way to get there would be to leverage Uber’s attempts to crack down on getting clients out of app. If we build the app flows and tools, then we can start by trying to be the “give me your personal number” version of Uber. So we can onboard Uber drivers and pay them privately out of band. Then you create a client based network, rather than a broad public network. Until it gets to the point where the public one emerges on its on. It would take years to be viable if we started today, but who knows how well momentum could run with something like that. 🤔 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Yes, it’s absolutely possible. The biggest piece of building a solution is a distributed reputation and identity system, which is what #Nostr essentially is. The frustration is that trust rankings have to be built slowly, and also require explicit “trust network” sorts of tools which are incredibly nascent right now. I would look toward Satlantis for how they are implementing the idea of trust weighted connections and web filtering. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Every time you think that these huge centralized platforms have too much power, remember that almost none of them provie direct services anymore. Facebook doesn't create its posts Uber doesn't drive its customers around Airbnb doesn't wash the linens in your rental Youtube doesn't film their video library All of these platforms only have the power of the content and engagement that WE give them. Without us, they are worthless. Never forget that the simple act of leaving and taking our creations, media, engagement, and our value somewhere else, will turn them into nothing overnight. This is why decentralization is the only path forward. There is no alternative. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann No, inflation doens't advance society unless you think that stealing from people who value their earnings and giving it to people who cannot value it because they didn't earn it is somehow a productive act. It would be the same as describing a "vibrant" cancer in a growing organism as responsible for that organism's growth. There is no way to make counterfeiting a positive thing, it cannot and does not do anything good for anyone except the counterfeiter. the only way to assume it does, requires the keynesian fallacy that inflation "boosts economic activity" to be accepted as fundamentally true, when in actuality (with respect, this is not directed at you) it's fucking retarded.
