Last Notes npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo The radiation issue is easily solved by time. But it’s 10’s of years. Not hundreds. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo lol! Good point…this does seem to be a plausible attempt. But I’m not in to nuclear physics enough to quickly find the pain point…I’m guessing the pain point is success rate of the nuclear reaction or the supply of the mercury isotope/isotopic purity thereof… npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Their claim is measured in tons per year… npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I have a hard time understanding what, if anything, they’re suggesting they will do is new. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Go for it! I need a new wallet in Damus anyhow…ready to make the move npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I can try TestFlight. Hasn’t worked reliably for months…some routing fee error, so I feel like it is a setting I can’t find. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I am label. I am some label. I am other label. Don’t insult my labliness! You anti-lablist, how dare you?! npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Remember when @npub18m7…q955 could send zaps. Yeah, that was a cool feature. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I’m sorry, this doesn’t fit my rigid Nuke the Gay Immigrant Red-Headed Whales for Jesus political indoctrination. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo People are critical of Bitcoin because it is not a widely used means of payment. But how in the world would you expect the good money to circulate when bad money exists? npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I love smiley puppies :) npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo At the end of the day, nothing is certain except that Bitcoin wins. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo No funds lost. But it’s an expensive calculator now :) npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Ever forget your @COLDCARD pin? Like I mean really forget it? npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Way to go @npub1zjx…pvrl npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Love you guys! npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Presuming this Bitcoin thing continues to work out well, Bitcoiners are going to make really cool grandparents. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo But on the Internet, Hitler is always the bad guy. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo This might be the one example where Hitler isn’t the bad guy. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Infrastructure doesn’t change…until it has to…. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Hospitals are like time machines npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I kid you not, in 2016 when I came to my current hospital, my radiology workstation was taking longer than expected to load cases…following the Ethernet cable to what I expected to be an outlet in the wall showed the cable just disappearing into a plate in the wall…on the other side of the wall was the server closet and the other end of my Ethernet cable was stripped and punched down into one of those. It was sufficient for 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connection. But upgrading to 1 Gbps was much nicer. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I haven’t seen old break out boards like that in 10 years! npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo :( npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Yup. I’m specifically talking about bitcoin price. And the temporal flow of bitcoin back and forth between users and exchanges for dollars vs. good and services npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo A sale of bitcoin for goods just delays time until sale of bitcoin for dollars npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo When you sell bitcoin, you lower the price. Immediately. When you buy something with bitcoin, you still lower the price but on a delay controlled by the receiver. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo A little frisky with that paw, no? npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Could it have something to do with the only foreigners on the plane were hijackers and it wasn’t an international flight? You should compare all IDs, not an uncommon subtype of ID… npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Very much enjoyed the noderunners conference in Arnhem, NL. Real bitcoiners, real learners, and a really cool venue. I’ve never gotten to spend so much bitcoin IRL before! Of course it’s a spend and replace kind of deal :) npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo In Frankfurt airport awaiting my train to Arnhem…for https://noderunners.network/en/conference npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I took 24 credit hours one semester, 20 of which was upper level physics and math…I had to sign a form promising I wouldn’t try to graduate early by taking on two full time course loads (I was tackling two degrees). Were it not for the two jobs and girlfriend (now wife), it wouldn’t have been so bad…but I got all A’s in the real classes and a B in the world’s dumbest linguistics class (my other two linguistics courses were actually really good). npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Back in my day, 12 credit hours was considered full time…but that was a quarter century ago npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Anyone going to noderunners in Arnhem, Netherlands this weekend? npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Because they are used to controlling me-half of all exchange rates. And as predicted, bitcoin price fell today because they said no to some silly bill… npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Yeah but my check last month wasn’t for as much as I’d hoped ;) npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I totally agree with calling their bluff on AI hysteria, btw npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Show it who is boss! npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Absolutely nothing. But a lot of people think it will, on a dollar weighted basis… npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Bitcoin price drops on failure of clarity act. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Bitcoin price isn’t something you can predict. Even looking at past patterns hints that the future won’t be the same. But what does seem to be durable is the 4 year cycle. But,if you look carefully, quantiles cross…which is another way of saying lower highs and higher lows. You can do fancy math t reorder the quantiles (image 2), but the fact remains: the future is full of uncertainties, especially price…but timing the cycle broadly is an easier target to hit. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I was obsessed with pineapple pizza…in fourth grade… npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I’m sorry you’re stuck in the crossfire of a never ending land dispute. Humans generally use war/mirder and migration to settle these. It’s awful. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo They have been plenty of bitcoin. They’ll pursue criminal prosecution. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I don’t think you can call yourself a white hat hacker for spinning up an AI, stealing a shit ton of money, giving some of it back, and demanding a service fee that is still way way way beyond what those services would have bought on the free market. It is criminal. It’s not maximally criminal, but clearly a crime. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo It is the most obvious all computer OS’s are missing npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo With AI on a key binding :) npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Not gonna lie: #Omarchy is really nice… npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Joe Carlasare’s book Unconfiscatable is really good, at least to chapter 10. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Same with gun laws. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I arrived late to Bitcoin in July 2010. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Did you think overturning the financial was going to be easy? That sovereignty could be bought for a song? That accumulating multigenerational wealth would happen without effort? npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I use it as a catchall term for things men do that just don’t make sense…whether that applies to having sex with men is a choice left up to the reader. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo FWIW, @npub1w27…z70r & @npub18m7…q955 weren’t working reliably together on my account for months…I eventually just sent all funds to a new 1 tap account on coinos from my personalized coinos account… npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I’m gonna have to think about this…I’ve thought about signing a bunch of timelocked transactions and destroying the key…and sending to an after/older miniscript wallet…and I’m guessing this setup is something similar… npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo 🙏 npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I don’t get it. What does it mean to build a staging ground into your multisig? npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo No soft fork required? npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Cool! npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I accept your apology, but you may not kiss me 🤣 npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Scams are more common than Bitcoin OGs. And the printing looks “weird” because of physics, so I get it. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo One can do everything necessary with a coin. Each numbered bip39 word is 11 coin flips. Dice is a little tricky to use “the right” way because 6 is a non-integer power of 2 (without a coldcard I should say). npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo And that’s why I am a scammer. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo You could learn to ask first rather than be a dick about it first. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I don’t think he will respond. Thinking isn’t always desirable. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I don’t want to excuse @npub12ct…c5ky's oversight with random number generation. It was dumb. And people got hurt but not thinking carefully, often about things they never even considered. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo This is hilarious. And sad at the same time. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Please feel free to advertise for me. But you’ll be announcing to anyone you know on Nostr your lack of insight. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Oh, I didn’t know I was fake. A fake radiologist who has been in bitcoin since July 2020. Or maybe I’m a refrigerator. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo And there are 6 rows of 8 letters before ALCO, which lands at…49! npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I see alco…maps to alcohol at word 49 on the lost. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Fair point. You are asking for proof these are the bip39 words…which I freely admit I did not verify. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Well, maybe you could be correct, in a way. I did not print them but maybe the idea was so simple someone asked AI to make a 3D stl file of the bip39 seed phrase list. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Good thought, but not quite thought through well enough. Think about how these get printed and consider gravity and the surface. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo lol…look closer…each side shows printing errors that have to do with one side being up and the other side being down. Thats beyond AI ability to date. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Yeah, but that turns the endeavor into pure expense. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo All you really need is a coin. Flip it 11 times to pick a word from the word list. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo That’s where I bought my original set from (they used to cost $80, not $100)…anyhow that’s why I don’t need the seeds I bought from my friend…but I’m glad to see he opened up his store again. I met the seed signer guy in Prague in 2024 and bought a fancy anodized seed signer from him. He’s a cool guy. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I have a set of unbroken entropia seeds…all 2048 of them. I gave a family friend $80 to print them for me (mostly because they have 5 kids and homeschool and are awesome people), but I don’t need them. But if anyone wants to send me $80 in bitcoin I’d be happy to send them along…and request another set of entropia seeds. My understanding is that these don’t take too much trial and error to get right but can take 16 hours of print time between the 8 plates of double sided 128 tablets… npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo That is a ton of lumber! npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Because paying $200 a month is a way better deal, at least for now. Not that all AI usage should be with the privacy invaders, but a lot of it is worth offloading to the best, especially while doing so costs them money :) npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Whoa, The @npub1y7r…d0r3 is on NOSTR! npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Only 275%! They got screwed. If only they didn’t have their money stolen and invested so poorly they’d have 3-5x as much. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Are you retarded? Or do you not understand how trust works? npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I think people are being dumb about this. People chose trust and got burned, not because someone was trying to harm them, but because someone made a mistake that will surely happen again and has definitely happened before. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Wen airdrop ? npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Coldcard user here since mk1. I had to take action recently on behalf of the one and only person I helped setup a Coldcard. I was forced to act because I couldn’t remember their entropy setup. Nothing was lost. I will continue to use coldcard, but I will take extra diligence to very deterministic nonce use next time I spend from it. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo What a difficult place to live. There is nothing more difficult to settle than a land dispute. And a lot of innocent people will be harmed in the crossfire. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Ok, I’ve found my next os…https://omarchy.org npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Breaking even is not commercial activity npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I’ll wait for the next minor firmware revision. I’m already updated for the RNG thing npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Educational noncommercial use has broad freedom under fair use npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo You should try it in a cyberbeast. 👌 npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Land disputes can only be settled by murder. Lots of it. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo What happened to the Trump that bragged (rightly) that he was the only US president since the turn-of-the-century to NOT start a new war? npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Land claims are all about who most recently killed whom… npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Exactly! npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I would not pay more than $550,000 for a bitcoin today. I also wouldn’t pay more than $125,000, but for different reasons. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Ahhhh, I’ve always wondered why sites pushed passkeys over my already long randomly generated passwords. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I’ll take one. $150. $250 with the now impossible to get entropia pills.
