Last Notes npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Needed to hear this today. Thank you.🙏🏻 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Gm 😀 ☕ 👊 I'm sure this has been done before, but I'm going to start a Friday Follow, sharing an npub or two I enjoy following. Hopefully you'll do the same. He's postal carrier in Wisconsin. He's a gardener and a guy who built the house he lives in. I just love reading his updates. nprofile1qqswjg96cernvkat9umjjnqdsqdpez0jp88q5uyc6ctrul57gvhdj0s05f839 #fridayfollow #grownostr #nevent1q…5vaq #nevent1q…xeyw #nevent1q…z993 #nevent1q…3ysa npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Brilliant! I assume green chili? npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 So fun to read this this morning. I vibe coded an health and fitness app yesterday. Initially I didn't have a way to upload years of DEXA scans, so I added that. Should have the first version ready by the end of the day. Need to add something for bloodwork. I'm going to host it locally, then use Tailscale to connect to it. Going to have an SQLite database for it, which I've never set up. I might try StartTunnel from @nprofile…06f3 but I struggled to get that set up the other night, though it was late and I was tired. Bottom line is I couldn't agree more. #ai npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 So nice of you to share this. I see your kettlebells in your photos. #proofofwatts is my new favorite hastag. I just ride my bike - I need to add the list of things you mentioned, which I've done most of at times. And I do know how to listen to my body - I just got out of the habit of daily exercise and now have a 'fat suit" to shed. I ran a lot in my 20s and early 30s - I've got a bit over 30k miles on the body - and had to learn the "listen to your body or else" lesson once my kids were born. Finally, while they seem unrelated, 15 min of meditation in the a.m. is crucial to be my best self. It's easy to say I don't have time for that. Take care. 👊 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Working out in your 50s is humbling. AND, I’m grateful to have a functioning body that can put in a bit of work. But the tricky thing is I can’t train very hard if I want to be able to train the next day. My metric for success is simple: if my face is sweating it counts. Gone are the days - for now - where I can enjoy trail runs like @nprofile…akam in the Rocky Mountains ⛰️ But the hope is to be back on the mtn bike for some easy rides by the fall. Drip by drip. #pow #bikestr npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 GM 😀☕️👊 #nevent1q…kul5 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 My dog turned two today and he's working on one of those bison bones. Will you be willing to sell several packages of those? The dog food is great too, but we're going through that slower. The photos of the ranch are amazing. Keep them coming! @nprofile…pfrn #dogstr #rancher npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 I feed my family with beef that @nprofile…qv3x raised and it's so neat to see what the ranch looks like. This is a great example of what the westerns slope of Colorado looks like. The eastern plains of Colorado, where some of my family is from, is flatter than Kansas. In the middle is the rocky mountains in the middle, with 58 peaks over 14,000 ft (4,200m). But most people don't know much about the western slope, where @nprofile…6un7 makes wine and Jason raises cattle. I hope to visit the vineyard and the ranch at some point. Related, it could be a brutal fire season here in Colorado - we had so little snow this winter. #nevent1q…ddg9 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Some people do a ground beef/organ mix that’s 80/20 or so. I got some of that this fall and loved it in chilli. It’s so great you’re getting beef that close to the source. @nprofile…gf27 is a rancher on the western slope that I got my beef from. So cool to be able to eat meat I purchased with bitcoin. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Looks fantastic. Really nice that they package them in smaller portions. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 GM 😀☕️👊 Just talked to the barista about accepting bitcoin and I used the savings calculator I made - first time using it in the wild, what’s was neat. “I’m surprised it’s not more.” 😂 Totally fair. Only $11 in yearly savings if I got a coffee weekly. And only $240 a year if two people a day get a coffee and pastry. This pace is inexpensive - $3.75 coffee and $8-$9 for a coffee and pastry - so at the average places in the area it’s be more. But he’s going to South America and he’s going to do some more research. So net positive interaction. Drip by drip. #bitcoin #merchantadoption https://orangedaddocs.github.io/square-bitcoin-savings-calculator/ https://blossom.primal.net/9ef8b0aeb6054bb25b9b6127e365680f4a54397ce5c054f84b012c9ce34c9cbf.jpg npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 GM 😀 ☕ 👊 Today is my "satsbirthday" - I bought my first sats two years. I'm late to the game, but so glad to be here. Bought some sats this morning to celebrate and grateful that they are on sale. Have a great day! #bitcoin #classof2024 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 As always, such a great article. The liquidity puzzle is fantastic. "On the outside" I'm in education and I think of your bitcoin explainer article several times a week. It's my new gold standard for useful, but also not watered down, content. The exact balance I need to strick. Thanks! 🙏 👊 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Not at the two terminals - at two different places - I bought from this week. Maybe they haven’t updated their software for the terminal? npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Aggghhh... I had the default set to show the next 18 months - 6 months at 0% and then 12 months at 1%, but it needs to show the next 12 months. Fixed (and yes, it adjusts as we move through 2026). New math is... $10 twice a week is $37 saved. $5 a day is now $67 saved. $12.50 once a week is $21 saved. Still meaningful for the merchant. Shows that just like when you're writing articles/books, you need to step away for a day and look at it these projects with fresh eyes. #nevent1q…rrt6 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 I tried that at two places in the past few days, and the icon in the top left does not show up. My guess is they're either rolling it out to certain places, or they're not telling us that payments option has to be turned on - that the video they showed is only for merchants who've opted in. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 I made something that I think will help me when I’m trying to get merchants to accept Bitcoin on their Square Terminal. I struck out pretty hard at my local coffee shop yesterday. Total non-starter. I’ll write about that separately. But it made me realize something: I didn’t have a simple way to show the owner what my weekly coffee habit would save them in card fees. And then it would be nice - if they're curious - to have them just scan a QR code and read a quick overview of why they can easily accept it, rather than read some flyer...which I tried in the fall. So I built a simple app that does this. The default is $10 purchase for 2 times a week. If somebody spends $10 twice a week at a Square merchant, that is $50 a year on credit card fees the merchant saves. If somebody buys a $5 coffee every day, the $0.15 Square charges the coffee shop adds up...to the tune of $100 for the year. The tool is simple - you just put in the sale amount, pick one purchase or repeat visits, and it shows: - Credit card fee - Bitcoin fee in 2026 - Bitcoin fee in 2027+ - What a regular customer adds up to over time At this point we hope we've gotten their attention, and if so, you click the QR code toggle. The merchant scans it and gets a short page explaining the fees they save, common questions, and links to Square’s resources for turning Bitcoin Payments on. There is a link to Square's onboarding video. I'm not sure it's been updated, and it's not as quick process, unless one of use is helping them, but again, I might have found an older video. The merchant will want to know if this gets automatically converted to USD. The docs I found say merchants can receive Bitcoin Payments as USD or BTC, yet recent Square release notes say USD is the default for new sellers, but the video made it look like they had to choose. It'd be great if we could get clarity on that. The bottom line is for people here care about merchant adoption, and I think this is useful...and not ai slop, but you be the judge. https://orangedaddocs.github.io/square-bitcoin-savings-calculator/ @nprofile…wq2n @nprofile…zkaf #merchantadoption #bitcoin https://blossom.primal.net/310c7cd351b49be5fc36ec797337c0f23256cf6581698ccbc2c9d1527c466009.png npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Love it! Gotta get out on mine soon. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 285? Heading E/SE? About 10 min outside of Buena Vista? npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 GM 😀☕️👊 #nevent1q…qzas npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Thanks @nprofile…6eje for the Rent Some Hash site. It's exceptional. Looking forward to doing it myself soon. #nevent1q…v9qh npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 With a purple scarf on the mic stand. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Thank you! 🙏 👊 I still have lots of questions, but I need to do some more reading and research. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 I’m working on a dad-to-dad BIP110 guide for normal node runners because I need to teach myself how to do this. I have @nprofile…06f3 running the latest @nprofile…v9a4 and I want to support BIP110, but I want the wording to be correct. Is this accurate? - My node can support/enforce BIP110. - Miners are the ones who actually signal BIP110 in blocks. - If I add DATUM and point hashpower at it, then I can say I’m mining/signaling BIP110 and more importantly, move the needle a bit. What am I missing? And sorry if all of this is obvious. Thanks in advance for your help. #asknostr #DATUM #BIP110 @nprofile…fd7j @nprofile…as42 @nprofile…hmmc @nprofile…00ln @nprofile…s4nh @nprofile…yc8n npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Wow! Looks awesome. I have a feeling it's going to be a great summer for you all. What was your favorite bite? npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Thanks @nprofile…hmmc for letting us know that this site is the handiwork of @nprofile…as42 It's an exceptional resource. 🙏 👊 #nevent1q…v9qh npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Thanks for the tip! 👍🙏🏻 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Braiins → DATUM → OCEAN "Set up the node first. Then point Braiins at it. Build blocks on OCEAN." If you're curious about renting hash, check out this guide. Unless I'm missing it the creator is unknown, but a huge thanks from this pleb to them for putting it together. https://rentsomehash.com/ #hash #mining #DATUM @nprofile…fd7j @nprofile…06f3 @nprofile…cnv5 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Looks awesome! I got my box of meat - looking forward to sharing photos soon. The dog loves the bones! npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 GM 😀 ☕ 👊 I made a thing - part article, part chart, part DCA calculator. Yes, I know Nostr doesn't need another DCA calculator, but this one isn't really about the calculator - it's about time. If you believe in the Power Law, we are a long way under the trendline right now. The page walks through how long it might take to climb back and what stacking an extra $100 through that window actually buys you. It's fun and encouraging to see that the slowest - some would say ugliest - recovery is the one that gives you the most Bitcoin. Obviously you know this, but it's fun to see the chart and math. You can read it on your phone, but open it on a computer if you want to play with the calculator. I built it while riding my exercise bike, and then finishing it up at my desk while other AI tools were working. And I used Anthropic's Fable 5 to start this, but last night it just went off line, so I finished it with Opus 4.8. Here is the bottom line for me: this summer is about hustling and working hard, because there is a window right now where sats are cheaper than the trendline says they are worth. https://orangedaddocs.github.io/postcard-from-a-low/ #ai #bitcoin #dca npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 What’s worse: what he’s wearing or what’s coming out of his mouth? I would have surely thought the words, but I don’t know. Also, thank you to whoever got this video. 😂👊 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 As my buddy who is addicted to fly fishing would say, there are a couple of "hogs" in there. Thanks for making me smile this morning. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Thanks for including me! Glad I found you here my friend. 😀👊 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 I built a free tool for people running bitcoin events to get the word out and save time - primarily for posting on Twitter/X. The idea is that you already put the time in to get your event on Luma, Meetup, or Satlantis. Paste that event link into the tool and it creates posts for Twitter as well as Nostr. Once it kicks out the drafts, you can edit the text however you like. Scroll down a little to add things like the speaker's Twitter handle, their npub, and whatever hashtags you want for the event. It's pretty straightforward. You can fiddle with it a bit, but it works, and it works for all three event types. I left Eventbrite out - that one's trickier and I decided not to go down that rabbit hole. Luma, Meetup, and Satlantis seem to cover most bitcoin events, whether it's a BitDevs or anything else. https://orangedaddocs.github.io/event-megaphone https://github.com/orangedaddocs/event-megaphone npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 GM 😀 ☕ 👊 Check out @nprofile…pfrn and all the notes they've posted since they joined up here just a week or so ago. I just placed my first order. Can't wait to get some of that Bison burger blend with organs. #nevent1q…angk npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Couldn't agree more with @nprofile…km6z Pricing in sats - both for your meat, which I'll be getting at some point - but also for our little fiat brains is the way to go. You guys are all in on Nostr and I love it! npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 I’m so sorry. Should have been more careful with the autofill 😬 @nprofile…n508 has some great info about hashing with Braiins and signaling for Bip-110 so I think I’ll be able to figure this out. 🫡👊 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 It works sometimes and not others in Primal, but I was able to send you a DM using yakihonne. Thanks so much for the help! 🙏 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 I meant to say @nprofile…as42 and @nprofile…yc8n . #nevent1q…t2d9 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Has anyone done the rented hash with Braiins that @nprofile…z2zr and @nprofile…yc8n have talked about? At the risk of sounding dumb, how do you support bip-110 when you do this? npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Two wishes... I wish bitcoin core had lots of parents working on the project. I wish more women were in bitcoin and on Nostr. It's hard to argue that bitcoin wouldn't benefit from both. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 What an awesome picture this paints. Bacon and Sam! npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 My 81 year old dad and I were driving last month and he was talking about his generation fucking everything up - the economy, the environment - all of it. I think he’s much more thoughtful than his peers. So he can stay alive a bit longer 😀. But I agree with the sentiment. I should find time to read the Fourth Turning this summer - might shed some light on this. Related, find me a Millennial or Gen Z who is willing to work extremely hard and they have this wonderful overlap of empathy and grit that Gen X often lacks. I love them. But there aren’t many of those, at least not in my blue city. So my criticism of them seems fair. I always think about age in the real world but not so much on Nostr. I probably assume a lot of npubs are older than they are because of their values. Thanks for pricking my brain. 🙏🏻👊 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 To me Nostr is gardens, guns and GrapheneOS. Twitter is posturing, bad takes and an army of bots, but also a couple bitcoin voices I like that aren’t here, and an ocean of AI content that is cutting edge. So I click on both. Also, Grok is great to search sentiment on a variety of things. I wouldn’t use it for anything else. @nprofile…av2x is great way to test this for yourself. Spend $5 on credits and ask Grok, Chat GPT 5.5, Claude Opus 5.8, and Kimi the same question, then follow up with more questions and see where you end up. In an hour you’ll know what they’re all good at. Spoiler: none of them are the best in class at all things. You can pay with #bitcoin! #ai #nostr #twitter #bitcoin #nevent1q…04dd npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 GM 😀☕️👊 Lots of talk about Nostr vs Twitter/X that I don’t have an option on, other than this: There is a ton of good AI content on Twitter and it’s in “real time” - the latest updates and experiments are posted there. Also, you can copy a post - and many people are doing long articles - and paste it into your LLM and see what is and is not useful for your project. So if you’re tinkering with AI today it may be worth checking out. Headed to the farmers market soon - gotta get some tomatoes 🍅. #ai npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Happy birthday. I love that book. I’m so glad you’re in a good spot both in spirit and in your physical location. Have a wonderful day. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 I love this! What's funny is when I was in my late 20s and early 30s and fit and light and backpacking, my buddy would tell me that backpacking was too hard and I needed to do river trips. Such a funny thing to say at that age, but I knew he was right. I have a smile on my face typing this. Glad you're out there doing this stuff. I've got to work my ass off this summer, but hopefully I can get on my mtn bike a few days a month. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 I'm good! I hope you are as well! npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 WOW! How much is lunch in Kenya? A good one? npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 If you have even a small budget for #ai - personally or with your business - check out Perplexity Computer. It's an orchestrator of roughly 20 different AI models. It does such a good job of running agents in parallel if you give it a problem. For my new business, I have to do some really boring research by looking at public databases. There are other tools you can use, such as one called Firecrawl, that theoretically should be able to do it better and cheaper, but it simply can't. Perplexity Computer will use the Perplexity Sonar models to do the searching, but then it will use the Anthropic's Opus 4.8 model to do the thinking and the orchestration. It seems to oscillate between those two models, and then it will always use the cheaper Anthropic Sonnet model for basic things. If you had just $20 a month, it's best to have Claude or OpenAI. But let's say you were going to spend an additional $10, $15, or $20 a month, you can buy Perplexity Computer creidts. Perplexity Computer is going to speed up your learning curve if you watch what it does in real time and sit back with a cup of coffee or a beer and just watch it work. It basically teaches you how these things use different tools in different ways. Anyway, just a thought. ...and the frontier models are called frontier models for a reason... #ai #perplexity #perplexitycomputer #claude #codex npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 GM 😀 ☕ 👊 I have more SATs now than I had when I woke up and meditated this morning. #bitcion npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Looks like an awesome trip. I’ve done a lot of backpacking but I’ve never been on a river trip. #envious 😀👊 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Here's two bright spots tonight in our little world of bitcoin... Bennet.org 's site is so, so good. My guess is it's the site we'll all send people to when they get coins off an exchange and into a wallet. Not overly technical, but also assumes you want to understand how bitcoin works. I don't think anyone has thread that needle as well as this guy. https://bennet.org/learn/what-is-bitcoin/ I only found @nprofile…3tty 's site last night, but wow, I've had to recalibrate what a smart person working with a Hermes agent can do. Even if you don't like the project, check out the design consistency. That alone is worth a tour of the site. https://ff2k.us/ So what is that project? From this article... https://medium.com/@FF2K/signal-is-the-product-why-i-built-ff2k-us-d70be43aed4f "FF2K is a place to publish signal without asking whether the signal serves a platform’s business model. It is a place to test voice, satire, argument, and independent distribution without begging existing systems to bless the attempt. Its point of view is simple: dependence is dangerous, permission is fragile, and a society that outsources its information rails should not be shocked when those rails start serving someone else’s interests." Two more gems... "I do not trust systems that depend on humans acting against their incentives for long periods of time. That is not cynicism. It is engineering. If a bridge only works when every person crossing it is honest, calm, and selfless, you do not have a bridge. You have a prayer with bolts in it." https://ff2k.us/#archive #PoW #ai npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Not 2021 experience, but class of 2024. Same price today as it was June 2024 when I bought my first sats.

Core V30 came out on Oct 10, 2025. Plenty of people think this is unrelated to the price drop, but my limited understanding is whales started selling after this. My guess - and what do I know having been in the space less than two years - as that whales understand the possible damage having a bunch of non-monetary data on the blockchain can/will cause, and possible CSAM images. Curious what long timers think. https://x.com/HodlMagoo/status/2060056824506720469 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 GM 😀☕️👊 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 GM 😀☕️👊 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Planning to take my kids there this summer.

That scholarship is really special. Not many kids get one of those. Enjoy this summer with him. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Some thoughts on AI as I work with it all day, every day, as an educator who isn't technial. - You have to both (a) play with these tools and (b) use them to make your current work either go faster or be done at a higher quality. Speed and quality for work, fiddling with them in between. - Claude is nice to you, so it's easy to think it's better than Chat GPT. It's a better writer, and a very good thinking, but Chat GPT is better at most things. - Because Claude is nice to you prompting it with "Don't tell me what you think I want to hear - be honest with me" is crucial. ChatGPT doesn't need as much of this. It's always honest, and give sober outlooks on things. - People think "AI can't write" and that was true in August 2025. In May 2026 that's silly. I write a weekly newsletter to 20k people. I dictate it via Wisprflow, Claud writes the first draft and then I tweak it. I have fewer unsubscribes than I did before I started doing this. It still takes an hour, but it used to take two. - It's best to have both the $20 Claude and $20 Chat GPT subscription if you can swing it. - Claude is a great copywriter. ChatGPT keeps getting better. - https://wisprflow.ai/ is a must. - Kimi models with @nprofile…uh5t are good when you want privacy, but I can't run a business with those models. - I think @nprofile…uh5t and Claude are the two must haves if you do knowledge work. - Knowing when to use High and Extra High and Medium with Codex is important. - Claude Code starts to do dumb sh*t past about 65% of the context window. When I ask it at that point if we should write a handoff and start a new conversation it almost always says yes. - I slept on Claude Cowork and that was a mistake. It saved me a ton of time a few weeks ago when I needed quotes from a dozen book publishers. It wrote the follow up emails too, and then compared the quotes. There was zero reason for me to do that work. I found a better company than my current printers. - Browser control in Claude and Cowork is voodoo. - "Early in their career" lawyers and accountants are in trouble. In a month I'll replace my bookkeeper. This tax season I created a simple tool that took all my tax info and was within 1k of what my accountant said I'd owe. - Again, Claude writes very well. You can prompt it to never use em dashes. - I should have more skill.md docs, but the key ones I have a so powerful. - 90% of the time I either start a Claude Code session with /plan or /superpowers. - I spent a ton of time with Openclaw in Feb and it was a waste, other than it got me comfortable using the terminal, and then I dove into Claude Code. - I worry that token cost for plebs will quickly be really high in the next year or two.

Living vicariously through you here on the front range. I was in Durango a few summers ago on a road trip and we hit that hot springs north of town two nights in a row. So much fun. The Yin-Yang cold tub was so cool. Dude was sitting in there all night and we though he was crazy, but he had been working road construction all day and needed to cool off. On that same trip I went up to hike the last section of the Colorado Trail and gave a through hiker a ride back into town. Someone did that for me back in 1998. Took us just under 7 weeks to hike it. It was the wettest summer in 30-40 years. We met a forest ranger stationed in Durango that said he was seeing all sorts of fungi he had never seen. Those miles from Creede into Silverton were the highlight.

I'm going to walk the dog now and it'll work on some things. I can check in on the walk and if it's finished with the two tasks we agreed it would work on there is a third one it can do.

It's called Stack Buddy. I don't think it's AI slop, at least I hope not. Link below if you want to check it out. Here's the back story on it... I'm starting a new business this year and working 6-7 days a week in what feels like two jobs. I feel like 2026 through 2028 will be an interesting window for two things: using AI to build leverage in my small business, and stacking sats while we're still well below the Power Law trendline. Stack Buddy is the calculator I wanted for myself to see if I worked my face off, how much I could stack in this period. So I built in between sessions with Claude Code and Codex The first thing it does is simple: You put in your income, your tax rate, your monthly expenses, and what you're trying to save in fiat, and it tells you how much BTC you can realistically buy each month. Rough numbers are fine. The second thing is more interesting. You put in a target stack and a deadline, and it shows you three different paths to get there. - Flat monthly DCA - Front-loading heavier early when the price is below trend - A custom mix of DCA and smash buys. For the third scenario, you might do 2x your normal DCA on January 1 and July 1 each year, plus a tax-refund buy each April. The math anchor is what I'm calling the "Catch-Up Power Law." The price today is well below the Power Law trendline, and the question is when we get back to it. For the price model I ran that question through several AIs looking for the most defensible price guess, and June 30, 2028 came back as the answer with the strongest justification. Obviously I'd hold that date loosely but the calculator needs a concrete anchor and that's the one I'm using. The model lets you see what your plan looks like under that assumption and stress-test how sensitive your stack is to the timing. A few things worth knowing before you click through... - It runs entirely in your browser, doesn't call any LLM, doesn't store your numbers anywhere, and there's no account system. - The whole thing is open source on GitHub, and there's a download button at the bottom of the app if you want to grab the code, fork it, or run it yourself in Claude Code or Codex. - And maybe the coolest part, is there's also a prompt you can download and paste into a privacy-respecting LLM like @nprofile…uh5t , Venice.ai, or you can wire up @nprofile…etsy API if you want to talk through your plan with an AI rather than just clicking buttons. I'd love to know what you think and if you have suggestions on improvements I'd love to hear them. https://orangedaddocs.github.io/stack-buddy/ #bitcoin #stack #stacking #ai #claudecode #codex npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 I need to learn more about it - I was watching a YT video on it last night. I can't believe how small they are and seemingly simple. I'm working a ton now but later this summer it's at the top of the list to experiment with (as well as some fun AI tools I don't have time for now). npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Well done. And the Meshtastic event looks like it was a huge success too! Some serious proof of work! 👊 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 GM 😀👊 I don’t know if I can work harder or more hours - long push of 7 days a week through June - but with the price going up to 81k it’s even more motivation to stack this year. A couple of weeks ago I told a friend who has a bit of bitcoin that the bottom might be in. He thought not. We’ll see. Have a great day! #coffeechain #bitcoin npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 May the fourth be with you. https://blossom.primal.net/ab22d1aa471ecb034627c7dbb02011bda687f0c0656ada328fe88b7adf31b5d3.gif npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 GM.

More weeks like this to come. I think I can let up on the gas in July, but I could be wrong. I have a friend who ran 100 mile races in the mountains and he would talk about “all day pace.” I’m trying to dial that in. There’s a lot I can do to leverage ai, but I think that window will close fastest than I’d like. And I’m not sure the bitcoin price will be 0.6-0.7 power law for years to come. I’m late to this whole Bitcoin thing so I’m mostly happy for it to be at these levels. Two windows closing faster than I’d like is my general outlook. What are your thoughts? #ai #bitcoin npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 I need to collect public data and put it into PDFs. Lots of data from various sources and to make the PDFs really useful it becomes complex. Part of a bigger project. Nothing that’s exciting. I am building some business specific tools. I think that’s what people will do if they are a 1 person business. Build things that’s fit their needs.
