Last Notes npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben I’ve purchased two paintings from @npub17nd…950x. Amazing art and he’s a pleasure to work with. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben I did too. The natural position for mine. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben The clock’s ticking I’m just counting the hours npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Every song is great on that album. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben @npub1zeq…m6xm from coinkite has offered this in group chats that I’m in with him. I don’t know how active he is on nostr. I can dm you his telegram handle if you want. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben I definitely recommend it. However I understand the difficulty if you have a long history and a big following on the platform. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Brisket smoking in progress here. Happy Victoria Day from London, ON! 🇨🇦 npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben When you’re losing weight, the excess fat is metabolized. The primary metabolites are CO2 and water. A lot of this is breathed out. Using this model, it may be helpful think “keep moving, keep breathing” if you’re on a weight loss journey. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben It’s funny that his second book was about managing distractions. Selling bullets and body armour. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Another @npub17nd…950x original to add to the collection. These will be going on the walls of my new office soon! npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Thanks, I didn’t realize that was the flow npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Thanks I didn’t know that npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben You can pay with bitcoin, fyi npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben My fingie slipped 🤭 npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben I like that it provides an incentive to continue building L2+ solutions. If fees go back down to single digit sat/vB it means there’s less incentive to build. The first 15 years of bitcoin was like the first couple hundred years of America; space was essentially free for anyone to take it. Now we need to figure out how to build with each other. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben I like landscape art and I really like his style. Also, I can buy it with bitcoin. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben I’m happy to recommend @npub17nd…950x to anyone! One painting has arrived and another is on the way. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Satoshi is everyone npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben The tx is in block 840,000 😅 npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben I couldn't resist another painting from @npub17nd…950x to celebrate the halving! npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben The only true happiness comes from the family you create. There are a lot of things to distract you on this pursuit. Don’t let them. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Thanks, that's helpful. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben The term “content creator” seems like such an insult to me. And yet, many identify with it. “Creator” is great but “content” means commodity. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Have you used Liana or Casa? I'm looking into both. I have a decent tech knowledge but can't say the same for my descendants. I'd like an inheritance setup that's fairly user-friendly (at least better than the encrypted text file I have now). npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Can somedan please explain to me what’s going on? npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Yes. No Country for Old Men is a favourite. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben “By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of its citizens. By this method they not only confiscate, but they confiscate *arbitrarily*; and, while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some.” - John Maynard Keynes npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben I think ecash might be the next version of zaps. It neatly gets around the need to have a receiver node always running. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Do you have a sauna in your house or outside? I’ve been thinking about getting/building one. Let me know if you have any recommendations. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben My kids are a part of me that I didn’t know I had until they came into this world. That’s the best way I can describe the feeling of being a parent, at least for now. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Shoot sorry I guess someone else clicked the link first. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben I got you. https://econ.st/4cnARsF npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben No we’re trying to be normal here. Jeez npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Newton’s third law. Many 🫡 npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Great post. It reminds me of a little thing I wrote a couple years ago. Living a good life is how we leave a legacy. https://wiremodal.net/how-to-live-forever npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Calle has spoken. Make it so. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Yeah that would be great. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben I’m using a @npub1vr2…dzvx Data.Plus eSIM for the first time. Works great for a Canadian visiting the USA. Highly recommended. No KYC, pay with #bitcoin. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Very nice! Welcome! I love my original painting from @npub17nd…950x npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben No problem! I grew up in the gta, now live down the road in London. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben I believe the only potential identifying information would be the IP address where the invoice is generated. Thus better privacy for the sender than the recipient. Here’s a pretty good article that summarizes lightning privacy and the various ways one can try to figure out who paid whom. https://voltage.cloud/blog/lightning-network-faq/lightning-network-privacy-explainer/ npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Alby is a custodial wallet so they can very easily see when one npub zaps another npub. Not very private. Also, zaps are usually published as nostr events so that clients can show the zap tally. Again, not private. If you want to send someone BTC privately via nostr, better to DM some ecash (look up eNuts, Minibits apps, both using Cashu protocol). Still custodial but private. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Welcome 👋⚡️ npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben I’ve heard #bitcoin described as boxes, each with a key (or keys) to allow the owner to transfer or repack the contents. I think this analogy is pretty good, but I’d add another critical piece which is location. Imagining Bitcoin as boxes immediately leads one to think of a vault of deposit boxes at a bank. It’s better to think of the boxes as distributed throughout the universe. There are 2^256 (10^77) possible private keys, about the same number as atoms in the universe. It’s amazing to think that one can effectively stash their wealth in the combinatoric equivalent of a single atom in our vast universe. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Wow, I didn’t know that you only speak Italian. Your translator is very good! npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben 🫂 npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben The main lesson here is that goldbugs are better at self custody. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Party on npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben It seems like #ecash is the ideal way to leave an offline bitcoin tip. Already I can print out the token QR and hand it to someone. Ideally, there would be a way to convert the #cashu token ID to something easily readable and writable like a short string of words. I could then mint ecash, print the words on small cards and then pass them out at restaurants, cafes, etc. The tip could even be simply written on the bottom of the bill. I have no technical understanding of how the token ID is derived, so no idea if this is possible. Just putting it out there. @npub12rv…85vg npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Thanks! I’ll look into it npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Super helpful. Thank you! npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Can you clarify what you mean by that? Do you mean I should be comfortable setting up my own multisig before exploring these options? npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Thanks. My needs are fairly basic but I’m interested in an inheritance package. Sounds like unchained could be a good option. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Anyone have experience with Casa, Unchained, (other?) guided multisig solutions? #asknostr npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Just received my painting from @npub17nd…950x paid in sats. Beautiful!

A great client that allows you to explore the layers of #nostr hidden by other clients. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Welcome! Lots of pumping for sure. No dumping though. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben 😅 npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Welcome to nostr! #grownostr npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben I tried it for the first time last night. It's awesome. I want to learn more about it and use it more. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben I got mine. Looking forward to reading it. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Thanks, I'll play around with it npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben I'll check them out. Thanks! npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Awesome, thanks! npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben I want to learn more about and experiment with ecash. Any tips on the best place to start? #asknostr npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Right. But you can’t put basil in guacamole. Different flavours, different uses. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Haha they’re not interchangeable so both? How is this a battle? npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben A new piece on why I left centralized social media and some thoughts on the promise of nostr. https://wiremodal.net/wilsm-2 npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Experimenting with dumbing my smartphone. #digitalminimalism https://image.nostr.build/6214d8173b810c5fd59c30e39f2eb9fb13de59b6d1f77b6991c06c34aa84867a.jpg npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben very cool npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben I was in Dubai last week. I can’t help but feel like it’s a city that shouldn’t exist. Amazing that it does though. https://image.nostr.build/5b5d88ca6764f8012f38147bf273b021027eb27661b3033870043e245d123370.jpg npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben stay strong 🫡 npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben This is one of my favourite YouTube videos. https://youtu.be/Ti6qhk3tX2s?si=uTFuIOTP6264tVKd npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Bullish on nostr yet? 😉 npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben 😢 Pep Lijnders incoming? npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben I just took a look from your perspective. First time I’ve done that. Very cool. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben I reinstalled the app and it’s fine now 🤷♂️ npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Is @npub18m7…q955 crashing on open for anyone else? I’m running the latest App Store version (not on test flight). I’m used to the occasional crash, but I can’t even open the app (grateful for multiple clients!) npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben The bird app is dead. Long live the bird app! npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben You can run your own node, you just need 15 years and daddy Gensler’s approval. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Hello from London 🍁 npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Thanks for doing that. It’s very much needed.

I read that the next StartOS release will allow clearnet access. This will be helpful for running mobile services. Of course with caveats re: privacy, security, etc. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Thanks for the post. I just set up a StartOS node with an HP Elitedesk last week. Does Vaultwarden run over Tor? I have trouble accessing tor services on iOS. It seems like the Orbot app is broken on iOS. Have you had any luck with it? npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben I use Bull Bitcoin but I think it’s only available in Canada. They’re part of the liquid federation. I custody L-BTC in the SideSwap app. I actually haven’t unpegged yet. I think you can do it in SideSwap. I’m interested to try boltz. I’ve used this note from @npub14tq…hy62 as reference. #note168y…yk6t npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Can’t say I know, but I’ve been using it recently for regular buys. I build up some L-BTC there then unpeg for a single UTXO to consolidate and save fees. First time I’ve done this and I imagine I’m not the only one. npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben Welcome! npub16j6mdp0dt86yu77wssfv42lxka86tv05me3jwl5789ycnlmvqzasxlfjqz ben No I haven’t.
