Last Notes npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson So, what's your website? npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson prompt: (Fixed the link) https://fcf2af38.clawi.ai/lobster-university/ school goes every day from 8:00am-8:05am #nevent1q…ruwg npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson I also have to do tasks which require exposure to the Internet as part of my work. But I get what you are saying, people let it become a controlling mind virus and they forget to just appreciate life. npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Very interesting option npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson I'm somewhat disagreeable, so the agents I spawn will be also, we'll see. Gettyng deeper into that at the moment npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Pls explain, is this useful to my daily Nostr experience? If so how? npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Wen USA npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson But I have been around a while yet I have no reputation.... I understand shat the WoT is but I don't seem to rank on it. npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Ok tyvm npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Oh. Nicely done @nprofile…kpp5 npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Dude, yep. npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson We can only hope. I love this cheap bitcoin train. People need to learn to love volatility in whatever form. npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Where do you get the thingie? npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Yes, a how-to pl0x npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson #Bitcoin remembrance https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/cryptocurrency/bitcoin-creator-satoshi-disappeared-on-this-day-15-years-ago-leaving-a-final-public-message-ive-moved-on-to-other-things-true-identity-of-satoshi-nakamoto-entity-remains-unknown npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Thanks for kicking off this discussion. Been checking out / reflecting on your thoughts for years. npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson And creativity, or storytelling with a strong dose of imagineering. #nevent1q…hvm9 npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson That makes no sense at all. What fool did this. npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Why not something better than iOS or standard Android stuff: how about GrapheneOS? npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson What's nonsense? I feel like missed something. Granted have been working a lot. npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Awesomesauce! npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson That's fair. That said, how do you know how much of this sentence I actually wrote? npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Wow that went south fast npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Pls explain to me / ELI5 in a few bullets what are some things this does? npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Is this just a bag of dried beef? Where can I get this? Tell me please npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson This isn't really exactly only about Venezuela though is it? It's about who Venezuela was threatening to invade (Guyana) and Venezuela troop buildup resulting in UK ship presence and ultimately further calls for US help. The unspoken and underreported issue is that Guyana - a massive area for basically unregulated gold and other sorts of extraction - was about to get overrun by Venezuela and the U.S. got called in. Maduro continued to saber rattle, meanwhile the U.S. government shutdown made the entire apparatus look even weaker (and it is structurally weak and fundamentally unsound). Seeing all this, the Chinese (themselves having their own problems and internal divisions) prepared for imminent invasion of Taiwan. The Chinese may think the USA is stretched too thin to help Taiwan out of they try for a rapid border incursion. We will see what happens in the coming days. npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson HEY @nprofile…uf96 IF YOU WILL FLY ME TO PRAGUE I WILL MAYBE SAY SOMETHING ABOUT YOU.

I was detained for 20 minutes last time I visited El Salvador entering the country. I lived. npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Yes. That's correct npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Reposting https://satellite.earth/thread/note1dmnf89v5y3e0lleu257g8mqds2ttf6xh2c9y74ndz92277yveyhql35tuv npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson What's the link to the show on the 20th, should we look back at your profile for a live interview link? npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Reposting https://satellite.earth/thread/note1dmnf89v5y3e0lleu257g8mqds2ttf6xh2c9y74ndz92277yveyhql35tuv npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Posting on this topic / reposting as reminder because the US Congress just screwed bitcoiners while California Legislature once again ramrodded forward a bill to plot seizure of bitcoin and other digital assets. There has also been a court case in California recently where CA decides it's going after self-custodial wallets and people acting in some capacity to engage in a governance decision. Pretty soon the only way you will be able to have your own assets free from arbitrary government seizure will be either a network of secret locations around the world that you manage for multi signature keys for any transaction, or, deep space custody where your assets are effectively vaulted (created in low earth orbit and never leaving there). No other method will be sufficient although everyone will need trusts, will and corporate entities to help keep digital assets out of the hands of the State. #nevent1q…zvpw npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson #nevent1q…f69a npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson I'm happy when this happens. npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson thank you for posting npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Think about it #nevent1q…l0a0 npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson hey has anyone done stuff with rails? as in, the sort of rails mentioned in this article? https://www.theblock.co/post/356180/amboss-rails-self-custodial-bitcoin-lightning-network-yield-service cc: @nprofile…thh4 @nprofile…j2ng @nprofile…me0k npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson That is hope for the future. npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson "hush, it didn't happen!" As bridges fall down npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson How is this surprising? Many years ago under different administration(s) anyone could have asked, based on whatever the then current level of U.S. national debt to GDP, what year did they think the federal government of the U.S.A. might end up at around 120 percent, ending up numerically where Greece was at in 2008 when PIMCO pulled the plug on investments? That is, when people in Greece were starving and jumping off buildings? Granted that is NOT what is happening now in many parts of the USA (though in some parts people are economically disadvantaged, starving, in communities with serious addiction problems, etc). But my point is we didn't ask this sort of question enough. Four years ago, per Trading Economics said, “Government Debt to GDP in the United States is expected to reach 120.00 percent by the end of 2020, according to Trading Economics global macro models and analysts expectations. In the long-term, the United States Gross Federal Debt to GDP is projected to trend around 125.00 percent in 2021 and 122.00 percent in 2022, according to our econometric models.” But it turned out those figures were too optimistic! We exceeded those figures before then. Look at the money printing machine go! The United States recorded a Government Debt to GDP of 124.30 percent of the country's Gross Domestic Product in 2024. It's only going up from here, along with the overall M2 and the value of bitcoin. npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Hey - is there anybody out there? https://youtu.be/CIxYe3G3Iz4?feature=shared npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson My dad went in to the doc recently to get a cancerous tumor operated out. The surgery went well but we were on edge wondering what would happen. Several days after the surgery they sent him home. Sigh of relief. But now am getting a flood of texts just a day after he got home, he's now headed back to the hospital, pain in the stomach and throwing up. I know nobody likes cancer but man I really, really hate it right now. npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Nice - thank you. npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Why is my WoT score 0? Have I said or done bad things or is there something I need to do to get it slightly above 0? Asking for myself. npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Neat! Can I do that on Amethyst or Coracle, too? npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Thank you npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson But if one's mind is never used to cut through bad ideas to find the good ones, the mind will rust and become duller without even being used. Cut with the mind, and keep the knives clean. npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Struck by lightning ⚡ - hehe! npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson seems like common sense imho.. npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson why would you have to block 100 people? npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson it's five I'm sure of it npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Good to see, Jack, keep up the good work. Keep it simple, don't lose sight of what's important, the mission / vision, the long term goals, and your sanity. Take time to make time. Cheers. npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson "the assholes at Vultr" - I mean that does kind of say it all. But also, Apple, because they will ban anything. npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson What do you think the best way is for Nostr and Lightning things to be found everywhere? Rephrasing. Not the best way, some of the best possible ways, like the top two or three that come to mind and just make the most sense? npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Drove past Moss Landing the other way on my way to a work thing up north. Things are not well in the battery world. npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson thinking and doing, two different types of ings. What's your latest? npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson good post thank you h/t @nprofile…0fk0 #nevent1q…lyzy npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson pues no, pero digame sobre que esta pasando ahi con este aventura, que estas haciendo ahi y como estan la gente en Prospera npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson That's a great answer, but the question remains... Why? npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson tell me your honest thoughts, in terms of bitcoin today, where do you feel it is most likely to grow in adoption, and why? (In a couple sentences or less.) npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson h/t @nprofile…jm9m -- I've posted this before but just a little reminder of it, check it out --- https://ashigaru.rs/ npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Ooh, nice! npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson I feel good today. npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson this is why people with radios and bicycle powered generators that can power them will be important because transactions can be run over radio. Sure, people can barter cigarettes, bullets and sugar but how much of that are they willing to give for something else in times of extreme shortages? skills based bartering becomes more relevant as does information exchange. npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson yes, reportinator is the humperdoo of the networks. the highest level of retardinator, but with clone capacity npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Note: if you have seen my website after scanning the QR code (shows you my business website address) and you have suggestions/ideas for how to make it easier for people to pay with lightning for example (currently the payment processor is FortisPay and the basics of it are credit card payments, but it doesn't have to be limited to that) let me know in comments. One way I've thought of how bitcoin payments could be done is if an order would be submitted via https://btcpayserver.org/ so that if people don't want to do credit card payments, they could do it that way - and btcpay does allow for use of lightning - but that's just one possibility. Another is bolt12 which is described here (but which would require use of certain wallets which implement it): https://bolt12.org/ux-design#reusable-payment-requests Let me know what you think about how you'd accept payment using lightning, I'm leaning towards creating a subpage which is presents a btcpay option so people can use it in lieu of the standard card option if they want. Open to all ideas. #2A #bitcoin #lightning npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson https://ibb.co/G5JbsL1 #2A finally got my website going, check it out npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson @nprofile…d5y7 @nprofile…clj7 @nprofile…nctk @nprofile…9myc Wanted to get your thoughts on this... Given some of the privacy enhancements we've seen lately to Nostr, how can we also enhance Nostr for freedom of speech by ensuring that services such as Reportinator (and similar services) are not allowed to automatically censor content across our experience with Nostr? npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson @Sunofthemoon npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson woah - this is huge! thank you devs - more people should know of this? npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson I hadn't ever heard of musubi until I came across your nostr note and saw it and looked it up. This is the first thing that I found on it. I thought I knew things about food. Looks like there is something I haven't eaten: https://playswellwithbutter.com/spam-musubi-recipe/ npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson it's because you yell in all caps that's what it is npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson h/t @nprofile…uwpn #nevent1q…zs32 npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Nice page which explains some of this https://bolt12.org/ npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson If you haven't already heard of this (I had missed it somehow), check this interesting little thing out... it must be the tiniest little communicator on the planet that allows you to text that doesn't require cell service.... (other than maybe Zoleo, which I have, which is useful on wilderness trips, but rather limited in functionality) http://www.picoaprs.de/index_en.php And it's actually being made and sold (see the list of websites where it is for sale shown in a top link at the site above). YT coverage on this tiny thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4dKzOXvhGA You will, it seems, need a ham radio license to use it meaningfully Very interesting though. npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Hi, still alive and still here. The latest, I recently went to Humboldt County to visit a friend for a weekend (got away from the insanity of Car Week in Monterey Peninsula area), and am working on transitioning away from my current involvement in hardware store / supply chain work, by starting up my own online only ammunition and accessories store. It'll be run through AmmoReady and it's not live yet (still securing some business related licenses and getting the site up and running, and working on determining which distributors' products will be featured), but I will post a link when I eventually go live with it. npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Very cool, thanks for posting npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Wonder if there are tickets they have for people who want to go to Wyoming on this train. npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Nice. npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Important read. Please oppose garbage like Reportinator and those that produce it. Thank you. #nevent1q…56g0 npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson No, the goal of reportinator is to censor people via rating their speech and to create a twitter like experience from a ridiculous rabid left nut PoV. It's disgusting and wrong. Wasn't needed to begin with and isn't needed with any "tweaks" at all. It should be simply removed. We didn't have to endure it before, we shouldn't have to endure it now. You think there should be "many different reportinator" like services. I think there should be exactly zero. Stop polluting this space with crap. npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Welcome to the Nostr world! npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Ronin, your view on this is exactly correct. Thank you for voicing it. npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson exactly. It's natural selection at work, really npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson horrible npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson The State, vs #bitcoin - if people are choosing the former to vote for, isn't this just an example of natural selection? If the actions of the State / different countries are so extreme that what results are not only an abundance of violent conflict but also the most innovative people leaving certain countries and regions (and even migrating away from earthbound jurisdictions into outer space, similar to Blockstream's method) then that's just the logical end result of smarter choices to migrate away from massively unstable systems and stupid people with too much power. npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Something through Nostr but also broadcast in outer space and designed to be a philanthropic development for people around the world, initially funded through https://geyser.fund/ and promoted via Market on Nostr / Coracle https://www.thestatesman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/081a66ac051fecf9b2e73567df11fea5.jpg npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Well, land has a cost, and I don't want to rent land outside of California, I want to buy... I think you get the picture. npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Broadcast the #bitcoin, fix the world #nevent1q…yycp npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson noice npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson I traveled to El Salvador in December of 2023. If anyone is curious about how things are right now in the country (in terms of security, business friendliness, pros and cons, etc.) simply reply here with any questions and I'll let you know. I lived there for a few years in 1998 - 2000 and have been there a few times since then (the #bitcoin friendly policies being a really recent development). Currently am in one of the worst places in the world to exist as a bitcoin person: California. Hoping to leave California permanently soon. npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson @nprofile…4j7h Interesting rationale, so if I were to accept your reasoning, which I don't, then essentially all wallet developers / teams would rapidly go defunct shortly after some layer of state pressure is exerted upon them to give up and fold. cc: @nprofile…r3pk @nprofile…c4n2 @nprofile…hy7r By the way, see this: #nevent1q…5ec9 npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Posting without comment https://www.lettersofliberty.com/2023/11/20/argentina-elected-milei-who-has-become-the-worlds-first-anarcho-capitalist/ npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson @nprofile…hy7r @nprofile…jza3 @nprofile…ehng @nprofile…5ukj Some questions: in light of the WoS fiasco, what are the current best non-custodial apps here people are using (that enable us to work using Lightning / Nostr) and what would be the best way to ensure that they continue to offered to a growing userbase (rather than restricted to less and less countries, people and places)? Also: Are there some of the below apps below that you simple would recommend that I shouldn't use? I'm currently using a variety of things, including: - Strike https://strike.me/freethinkr - Flamingo - Vida (vida.io) -- https://vida.page/freethinkingperson - LifPay -- https://lifpay.me/freethinkr - Electrum (I have both mobile and desktop) - Zeus (I have it on my phone but haven't figured out quite how to use it) Note: I will also have MyNode running by end of 2023 (long before the US federal rule is finalized next year, at which point there is that question of whether or not the software will still be offered): https://mynodebtc.com/products/compare I also confirmed with Trezor that the latest product which they shipped out to me, which was a limited run bitcoin only Trezor, would indeed have the coinjoin suite feature https://trezor.io/learn/a/what-is-coinjoin (This was a concern of mine as I wonder if it will be phased out in the future for US buyers) npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson Hey @nprofile…5ukj I will be in El Salvador Dec 20 - 27. Not sure if would be able to connect while I'm there but if so pm me here. Would be good to meet. npub1gw3phl4qrul5mre27zshty0n6m06p6thwugcr3362202e6xqhafsmt4pha freethinkingperson It's the federal mixing rule (along with other things), which it seems they are refusing to fight in court (it hasn't been finalized yet, but it will be soon). https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/10/23/2023-23449/proposal-of-special-measure-regarding-convertible-virtual-currency-mixing-as-a-class-of-transactions (Comment period on this ends in early 2024) There is also an extremely strong anti-bitcoin (and anti-any-sort-of-digital-innovation) climate as a result of what is happening in the federal government in the United States right now. See recent SEC prosecutions, etc. This doesn't make it impossible for people to operate in the USA, but it does make it extraordinarily onerous and it does make it increasingly necessary for individuals and organizations to plan legal battles simply to continue to use decentralized, distributed, dis-intermediated systems in the United States. Now, Wallet of Satoshi could ally with various other groups including pro-bitcoin groups that have had success at defending both industry groups and individuals from legal onslaughts. Instead, @nprofile…yv3a is retreating with its tail between its legs. Let me add that an organization that absconds from a state, I can understand. For example, Kraken removed itself from New York after New York decided to implement the NY bitlicense, which meant that individuals in New York would not be able to be served by Kraken, but that corporations that had been formed out of NY or individuals residing outside of NY would be able to be served by Kraken. At that time, Kraken had released a blog post which described in detail exactly why they were leaving New York and explicitly described Kraken's total opposition to the NY bitlicense. As time went on it was apparent that it was still possible that NY residents could be part of a corporation that was incorporated outside of NY and thus could be part of a business / corporate account on Kraken along with other corporate officers, although today a person residing in NY cannot have an account as an individual on Kraken. Since many exchanges withdrew from NY when NY implemented the bitlicense, I wonder how many exchanges will withdraw from serving clients in California when California's bitlicense (AB 39, now law) goes into effect in around a year's time. I hope many of them will, but there would be an enormous impact on the market if they do so and I don't think all of them would be willing to give up the money, they'd rather cave to California's demands. So as I said, I think that it's understandable if an exchange (or a software business, or any kind of bitcoin oriented organization) decides it might not want to serve a particular state (because of licensing requirements they don't agree with, so long as THEY MAKE IT CLEAR THAT THAT'S THE REASON FOR WITHDRAWAL from that state). However, withdrawing from an entire COUNTRY seems ridiculous to me unless you are acknowledging that you simply aren't capable of serving the people in that country. Wallet of Satoshi's statement that they "will not serve" people in the USA is not acknowledging Wallet of Satoshi's own inability to figure out a way to serve people in the USA - rather, it's just a cop-out by saying they "will not serve" people in the USA. Sound negative? Sure, but I'm just being honest. Do better, Wallet of Satoshi.
