Apparently in fiat world there was something called the “Video Music Awards” (VMA) last night. LOL, not in this lifetime. Self congratulatory Hollywood / celebrity co-slobbering and pretending everything’s fine.

And you’re how I found them, thanks. I’m going to check them out, the idea is compelling.

I used the last hour or so to upgrade my Raspberry Pi based Umbrel server to 1.0 and make sure the Bitcoin node is back to sync. Next project is to install a Nostr relay. Why, was there something something else going on tonight?

What happens if a BitAxe isn’t connected to the pool? I’m a little unclear on what role the pool is playing since we’re not pooling hash and sharing rewards.

Good time to listen to a podcast. If you haven’t heard @npub1xwm…pyyc on “What is Money” from July 12 - one of the best I can recall - https://fountain.fm/episode/niWbInNZx8tJAQUHHK0S

I just checked my balances and despite the chaotic volatility in Bitcoin’s price, I have the same number of sats I had yesterday. And next week when I check I’ll have more. Not seeing the problem.

At this rate that could happen way before sentencing (which also now apparently got pushed back to after the election)

Found the answer in the Privacy Policy, legal compliance. Should have known. Sigh.

To activate my wallet on Primal it asks for name, email address, DOB, country. Not sure what additional KYC lays beyond the ‘Next’ button so I’m holding off spoofing this stuff, to try to understand this better. Why is it needed?

2024-09-05 20:59:20

No.
I came here through no choice of my own. Check.
I will encounter suffering. Check.
Whether I am miserable is largely up to me. I can choose to try to develop a state of mind where I understand the “why” of suffering, and develop a belief and philosophy that allow me to compartmentalize it and experience joy separately from it. This allows a great deal more than just “life sucks and then you die”.

(To the original poster) I’d also venture that Nostr interest goes WAY up in the realistic event that an authoritarian United States government establishes more coercive censorship over X, or even manages to cripple it.

To be clear, this is not a state of mind that I have reached permanently, but one that I visit from time to time, and in which I aspire to more permanent residence.

It’s easier when you not only believe but internalize that this earthly life is such a short and relatively miserable portion of our existence. Being counted as worthy through suffering in His name, or being released from that suffering through death, are rewards beyond our imagination.

Someone with “a few” more followers @npub1cj9…0efa asked this question and from that I learned the most common answer is Primal. Installed, signed in with nsec, and lo, all my stuff is here on Primal because Nostr is awesome like that.

I’m using Damus on phone just because it’s the first one I tried. What are some folks using as phone Nostr client that you’d recommend?

This was one of the best podcasts I’ve heard regarding how our monetary systems work. Peruvian Bull is an encyclopedia of knowledge yet explains things in such an accessible way. Awesome, and thanks.

I think the difference is in the system folks are leaving. Twitter Bitcoin community still has a big draw. Whereas the dollar is more like the annoying job that many of us will quit as soon as we can.

Huge percentage of Americans still swallowing the lies from the FDA and think that low fat diets, and by extension high carb diets, are healthy. And the fats they are getting are seed oils in processed foods. Huge portion of the obesity epidemic is in those issues.
