curious what software bitcoiners like to use for doing taxes on taxable bitcoin transactions? And does everyone use FIFO for the cost basis? I sometimes need to use sats to usd for big purchases. Any thoughts? @npub1s5y…6q7z @npub1cn4…3vle @npub1sg6…f63m

curious what kind the tech stack CashApp uses to implement the Bitcoin features? Currently at Bloomberg and using a lot of C++ and Python but would love to someday work on improving the money

Is this the reason zaps are enabled on primal? Apple requires that you maintain an integrated wallet? Curious how you were able to get around the constraints put on Damus

2023-12-02 22:26:49

One thing I can’t figure out is why zaps are allowed on @npub12vk…pugg but not @npub18m7…q955?

Best advice for going through bear and bull bitcoin markets is just always be dollar cost averaging aka just keep buying

2023-12-01 19:53:24

The ease of use here makes me want to post more on nostr

2023-12-01 19:52:28

Wow I am blown away by how easy to use Primal is. Especially the integrated lightning wallet. Nice work @npub1s5y…6q7z !!

Incredible to hear people talking about how the Fed is “predicting a recession” as if they can predict anything. Good thing they are centrally managing the economy with their magical predictive powers

Hey Gigi, always wondered how tax accounting would work for an individual and business wanting to transact in bitcoin only, wouldn’t the business need to calculate tax for bitcoin at time of each transaction? So every time you earn it would be a bit tedious to figure out your gain?

idk what Google is thinking with this Bard nonsense, but they need to rebrand this thing as Jarvis and have it running on every google search people make and stop bing in its tracks if they want to retain search dominance. It’s like watching a giant fall in slow motion.

It would be cool to have an extension of some sort that would take your nostr post and also post to your twitter account. Probably requires the twitter api and big $$ I’m guessing?

super interesting take on detriments of using “clean code” methods:
tldr
— inefficient—
- polymorphism
- internals
- small functions
- functions do 1 thing
all slow performance by as much as 15x w/out implementing any specific performance enhancement features
—fine—
-dry
keep it it’s a good idea, doesn’t change performance

been thinking about how to improve coding interviews. feels like it would be more effective to replace leetcode based interview with a walkthrough of what you have built on Github. maybe even an AI not that can review your code and provide a good summary for the interviewer and places to dive into during the interview. maybe even checks if you just copied an entire project or something…

we need some kind of news account on nostr… then i won’t have to bounce between damus and twitter for updates on stuff happening like alien invasions

so for paid relays do you pay a one time fee at first or is the fee for each time you post?

A total gem for learning about making your own GPT from scratch. Interesting application if you are wanting your own AI that a company isn’t using to harvest data about you.

I noticed that eden.nostr.land is on my relays by default. Is there a way to see that by paying the 5000 sats it is working? As opposed to when you have the relay added but haven’t paid.

hey preston, wondering if there are relays you recommend joining other than chad.polytechnic? and maybe ones you don’t recommend?
