Last Notes npub1aj9k43cmuqdh23un8f25nzdudpep9vaeumte5v7ran7f697y7dgswjw6h3 Ricki Allardice Scientific papers and peer review belong on Nostr. 1. They can't be censored. 2. We don't have to waste block space on Bitcoin with non financial data. 3. You don't need a shitcoin. @npub1k8d…4qte npub1aj9k43cmuqdh23un8f25nzdudpep9vaeumte5v7ran7f697y7dgswjw6h3 Ricki Allardice Tsek with this kak! npub1aj9k43cmuqdh23un8f25nzdudpep9vaeumte5v7ran7f697y7dgswjw6h3 Ricki Allardice GM, we gonna make it npub1aj9k43cmuqdh23un8f25nzdudpep9vaeumte5v7ran7f697y7dgswjw6h3 Ricki Allardice I'm so pumped for round 3 of this conference. Higher signal every year woth a laser focus on building real solutions. #nevent1q…4frk npub1aj9k43cmuqdh23un8f25nzdudpep9vaeumte5v7ran7f697y7dgswjw6h3 Ricki Allardice Why would we do that when Lightning works perfectly? npub1aj9k43cmuqdh23un8f25nzdudpep9vaeumte5v7ran7f697y7dgswjw6h3 Ricki Allardice Kevin McKernan is working on it npub1aj9k43cmuqdh23un8f25nzdudpep9vaeumte5v7ran7f697y7dgswjw6h3 Ricki Allardice All free and open science should be published on a censorship resistant platform along with the supporting data so that peers can attempt to reproduce the results. Centralized publications of scientific papers isn't science, it's propaganda and Scientism. npub1aj9k43cmuqdh23un8f25nzdudpep9vaeumte5v7ran7f697y7dgswjw6h3 Ricki Allardice Chalk this down as a win npub1aj9k43cmuqdh23un8f25nzdudpep9vaeumte5v7ran7f697y7dgswjw6h3 Ricki Allardice I implemented Bitcoin and Lightning payments using BTCPayServer and Blink for the @npub1p0x…deeh conference. Here is how I did it and what results we achieved. https://bitcoinonly.io/blogs/news/how-we-implemented-bitcoin-payments-at-adopting-bitcoin-cape-town-2025 npub1aj9k43cmuqdh23un8f25nzdudpep9vaeumte5v7ran7f697y7dgswjw6h3 Ricki Allardice Our X account for the Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town conference got taken down with no reasons given two days before the conference. Thank god for Nostr. All live streams of the conference will be available here. We are done with X, it's a centralised hellscape. #nevent1q…xy75 npub1aj9k43cmuqdh23un8f25nzdudpep9vaeumte5v7ran7f697y7dgswjw6h3 Ricki Allardice Stoked to have you here Ian! npub1aj9k43cmuqdh23un8f25nzdudpep9vaeumte5v7ran7f697y7dgswjw6h3 Ricki Allardice You are living on a tiny spec of cosmic dust, paying taxes to pedophiles. #nevent1q…cax9 npub1aj9k43cmuqdh23un8f25nzdudpep9vaeumte5v7ran7f697y7dgswjw6h3 Ricki Allardice if you want to experience just how incompetent the state is, try dealing with the South African post office. npub1aj9k43cmuqdh23un8f25nzdudpep9vaeumte5v7ran7f697y7dgswjw6h3 Ricki Allardice wtf this is outrageous. However, can the state track down the nym to pay? npub1aj9k43cmuqdh23un8f25nzdudpep9vaeumte5v7ran7f697y7dgswjw6h3 Ricki Allardice what's your opinion on Jade's model of removing the secure element from the device? npub1aj9k43cmuqdh23un8f25nzdudpep9vaeumte5v7ran7f697y7dgswjw6h3 Ricki Allardice Jade is great from a Bitcoin only and price perspective, removing the secure element from the device could be smart, but I guess time will tell. Seedsigner is great if you are even slightly technically inclined, as you get multiple layers of assurance that your seed isn't accessible by anyone. Coldcard is the GOAT so far. Trezor caters to far too many altcoins, which divert dev resources away from Bitcoin related security work. Ledger is dead to me. npub1aj9k43cmuqdh23un8f25nzdudpep9vaeumte5v7ran7f697y7dgswjw6h3 Ricki Allardice In the latest ep of By The Horns, myself and Carel de Villers got into the new regulations that have dropped in South Africa, which are attempting to regulate cryptocurrencies as financial products. https://youtu.be/namqe2rXBx8 npub1aj9k43cmuqdh23un8f25nzdudpep9vaeumte5v7ran7f697y7dgswjw6h3 Ricki Allardice GM. Bitcoin is going to win
