A long time Bitcoin Standard bearer actively training myself and my peers (so I have some), in the battle over ownership of our data, our money, and our communication channels in the war between decentralized free individuals and the centralized tyranny of the crowd.

Last Notes npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 Go has always been one of my favorite boardgames, but I've only a couple times gotten to play someone I've had to teach the rules to. The one time I played someone at the UT Go club, it was gloriously humiliating how I could see exactly when I'd lost effectively 3/4s of the board, yet could do nothing to stop it. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 The blog post goes into more details and provides resources to lookup even more info on the materials and processes I used, ranging from custom designed 3d printed ASA brackets, to Japanese style woodburned treatment finished out with 3 coats of shellac, and a variation of latex cement canvas stapled like upholstery out of used painters drop cloth and free up cycled paint from the Austin recycling center. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 The natural airflow and the hollow micro-silicate insulation paint (providing an effective r20 insulation value) will make this much more comfortable in warmer and wetter climates. Where I'm building this one in FL, I will be adding a split AC unit and a BTC space heater that I expect to be all the additional climate I will need. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 I 3d printed custom brackets, attached the dome to 2 trampoline frames, and used a compound miter saw to custom fit the skeleton together. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 That's EXACTLY what I'm doing here, unlike most residential builders and architects, I'm designing the home I want to live in myself. I'm simply too informed to be able to settle with living in dead boxes. So, I'm building myself a living ecosystem in the form of a Biodome Igloo, and open-sourcing my plans I begin sharing in this post. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 This reminds me of Sidhartha's 3 skills, Knowing how to: npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 By far, the majority of capital held worldwide is in public entities, not private individuals accounts. As they are all highly regulated, surveilled, and controlled by current KYC/AML regulations, they cannot send and/or receive funds without documentable provenance as to the source of, and the identity of the receiver of funds without risking everything they own in their existing accounts, their titled physical assets, and their personal freedoms. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 I'll build an off grid accessory dwelling unit for sats, or better yet, teach you and your neighbors how to build these for yourselves. https://m.primal.net/PtxX.jpg https://m.primal.net/PtxY.jpg npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 I'll build an off grid accessory dwelling unit for sats, or better yet, teach you and your neighbors how to build these for yourselves. https://m.primal.net/PtxX.jpg https://m.primal.net/PtxY.jpg npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 Can you get Claude to create it's own Nostr profile and post a note for itself? npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 Likewise, eCash exchanged between already known and trusted parties with either temporary or ongoing relationships also is an acceptable risk scenario. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 Restoring the fundamental human right to financial privacy solidifies the foundational freedom upon which ALL other freedoms are built. Simply bringing humanity back to the place where it had been in all places throughout all time, previous to the Bank Secrecy Act, will be a major win in the war upon individual freedom and autonomy. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 Disease is almost always a result of congestion and parasits in your system. Once I began regular long term fasting when I discovered the 'Master Cleanse' back in 1991, I haven't been 'sick' even once! I credit this to my regularly going 7-10 days ingesting nothing but water and cayenne lemonade twice a year. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 Yeah, I tried writing this and posting directly from Obsidian. Gonna have to try to import this another way to get the pics to work. Maybe Yakihonne will work... npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 I've been evolving my view of residential home design as a form of bio-engineering a Macro-biome to complement, cultivate, and curate plant, animal, and soil micro-biomes. Our homes have digestive, nervous, skeletal, and connective tissue systems, just as living creatures do. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 Liquid is best considered a pass-thru vehicle, more of a bypass lane than a parking lot. Like Lightning, it's meant for petty cash spending, either by exchanges or LN channel balancing of accounts. Storing value is best done with self-custodied offline key-signers, in large amounts, on an infrequent basis. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 Life is best considered a test of endurance, not a sprint. Knowledge is the only 'thing', other than bitcoin, that doesn't weigh you down, can't be stolen by thugs, accrues value over time, and empowers you and those around you when you share it. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 This is why the best investment you can make is in your future self by spending the only thing more scarce and valuable than sats, your time, invested on making yourself useful to the marketplace. Consider what of our common needs you are uniquely capable of providing to your peers, then figure out a way to acquire the skills, tools, and materials necessary to deliver your unique value proposition to the world. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 Fiat financing of government subsidies in the US make Portland cement artificially cost effective. There are much better solutions, but they cannot compete on price point when those manufacturers are getting government handouts. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 Does Primal require KYC? npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 Seems like the idea of "Proof of Reserves Day" has been forgotten by the latest couple generations of Bitcoiners. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 Authorities will always assume they have authority, even when they don't. That authority is ONLY applicable to specifics subject matter over specific jurisdictions. To defend ourselves against these paper tyrants we need to understand who we are and where we stand, this who has, or doesn't have, jurisdiction over us and the subject matter at hand. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 Row you boat gently down the stream, life is but a dream. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 Without meaning to make a joke, I made a friend laugh yesterday when I quite seriously said "I don't like gambling, so I only hold Bitcoin". npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 You're no doubt spot on with this assessment. Myself, I do all that you've listed except for building computers. Also, doing 3d printing, professional massage, Tai Chi Chuan, and fasting, as well. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 You can find DIY designs to fabricate a methane bio digester out of an IBC tote on YouTube. Those can be fed scrap compost run through a garbage disposal. Might also consider setting up a BTC space heater to get some sats-back on the electricity spent on your electric heater. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 Get a homebiogas.com methane bio digester and turn your shit into natural gas to cook and heat with. If you're the only one using it, you may find you need more people contributing more shit to your shitter pretty quick, though. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 Life is short, guys, the future is uncertain, you never know what day will be your last. So act accordingly, say whatever needs said to your loved ones! npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 In my 1st comment. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 @nprofile…m08k, @nprofile…t7a0, @nprofile…mt90, @nprofile…hc6d, @nprofile…mjzx, I expect you guys may find these interesting. This is the realization of something I began working on when I first began my #3dprinting journey at PlebLab over 1 1/2 yrs ago. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 https://m.primal.net/LYyh.jpg https://m.primal.net/LYxU.jpg npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 In our list of essential daily needs, shelter supersedes the need for air, food, and water, because without it none of the rest matter and you will still die even IF you have those daily consumable items. Shelter is also the only need that businesses share with living beings. Decentralizing manufacturing of small, appropriately sized, tooled, and resourced shelters is essential for us to remain sovereign in our personal and professional lives. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 I found free 3d printed versions of this jig and a container for them. I printed up both for under $1. The stamp set from Harbor Freight was the most expensive part. Wouldn't bother buying that jig. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 I like how TextNow.com provides a physical Sim card for a one-time fee of $5 and no ongoing costs for calls and texts. They are funded through ads and give you a new number if you go a week without a call or text. Without requiring KYC docs, they're providing ephemeral phone numbers for intermittent use and permanent ones for regular use. Both have their use cases and it's very nice to have a free and anonymous number. I hate monthly bills and can easily ignore their ads. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 Excision of cancerous tissue won't remove the conditions that allowed it to form in the first place. Permanent healing requires starving it of the sugars of fiat, instead feeding the body real nutrients made from quality ingredients acquired by doing the work. The terrain theory of health teaches us that true healthcare begins by controlling all inputs, cultivating exchange of nutrients from without and waste removal from within. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 These ideas apply to our Bitcoin operations as well. On chain publicly viewable internationally distributed transactions on one pole and off chain privately validated locally custodied balancing of accounts on the other. Security, decentralization, and privacy are never absolute, merely good enough. Perfection is the enemy of progress, extremes at either pole become impractical, balancing polarized sides of any coin is done by residing on the 3rd side of the coin, the edge. Riding this edge over time requires situational awareness, discipline, and focus to maintain a dynamic balance. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 I would be interested in helping your Head of Communications integrated a Nostr strategy patterned after Geyser and Fountain. I'm not qualified for the Lead Position, but could provide strong support to whoever does take on that role. I have met and spoken to both Obi and Justin more than once over the last few years, watching your evolution closely and would love to help others understand where and how your solution fits in their personal, family, and business toolboxes. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 No rational mind can ignore that genital mutilation of 80% of the US males, as circumcision is the most common surgical procedure performed every single day. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 Seems to me that bringing the Bitcoin and Nostr tool sets to the Permaculture and Homesteading communities will be much lower hanging fruit, as they already understand long term thinking, distributed networks create resilience, and sovereignty over supply chain verticals matter. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 I remember the fur bikini worn the Barbara Bach (I think that was her name) far more than the Beta cave-boy Ringo played... npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 I fully expect that a few decades from now using paper with dead white men will be regarded the same way we currently view using sea shells or glass beads as money; an archaic, obsolete, and fragile accounting and value communication system used by the technological and economic illiterate. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 Why have I been forced to listen to commercials when listening to podcasts on your platform? They drove me to use other options many months ago, when you had been my go-to choice. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 I prefer 'peers'... npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 Consider making the 5 Tibetan Rites for Immortality a daily practice. Those 5 sets of 20 movements can be done anywhere with no equipment in 7-10 minutes. They're designed as self mobilization techniques for the hips, shoulders, neck, and waist. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 I didn't save the link to the study providing these numbers that surprised me. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 He was specifically referring to people and governments, not Bitcoin, when he made that statement. Taken out of context this contrast is amusing though, as it highlights the fact that the weak link in Bitcoin's protocol is the human link in the chain. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 Even in real life, in one of the major US metropolitan areas there are only a small handful of places to liquidate gold coins. They not only have limitations on business hours and amounts, they also charge premiums well above Spot prices IF they are even buying when you want to sell. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 Another tool for our Bitcoinization of our personal and commercial lives is now available. Adding an important stair for many to step on when climbing towards becoming 1st Class Bitcoin Citizens by running fully Self-Hosted nodes. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 Would never pay them a single sat, but some of the side events are tempting. The travel expenses and opportunity costs are feeling hard to justify. Feels like stacking more sats will probably provide a better ROI. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 So, am I correct in thinking that for instance this could create a physical n424 NFC tag that would query a Nostr dataset to authenticate our: npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 This is The Way. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 The NFC n424 chips used by Boltcard are often used as pin protected ID badges, that just need to access a directory to confirm/deny verification. Seems like having that as a directory of approved Users accessible in a private Nostr relay can allow the same functionality, to create an physical Nostr-signing device. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 We cannot break Natural Law, only ourselves (or our families/businesses/countries) upon it. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 Have you read the book 'Ishmael' by Daniel Quinn? npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 The journey IS the destination. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 Pleasure or Pain, npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 Cattlemen Bank & Trusts have a long history of providing these services to local communities. Commodity futures markets help the Ranchers manage risks of time, but they've been co-opted by fiat speculators and manipulated by the money printers. Creating a "Circular Satoshis Economy" within the Ranchers' control will be a big upgrade and a means for their supporters to create a "Proof of Steak" system many Bitcoiners could support. 😀 npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 I've been thinking that we should work with the Bitcoin Beef Initiatives to create Noste Identies for each cow, combining a GPS tracker and live tracking to enable "herd audits" to back a Cattle-mint that can be redeemed for meat or LN sats. Seems like a great form of commodity reserve based on proof of work empowering the Ranchers with a means of hedging and raising capital for reinvestment into maintaining and upgrading the ranch. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 Next time, how about I design & 3d print some branded drink coasters with embedded NFC tags that can include eCash vouchers, smart card data sharing, or LNURLp functionality. I just got my 1st batch of 100 ntags with Boltcard integrations to enable Membership bearer wallet/IDs. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 If you're in the Austin area, I not only paint, but also replace any/all appliances and fixtures, resurface anything but carpet, and do framing/finish carpentry, and plumbing electrical work that doesn't require pulling permits. I've many local references and dozens of 5 star reviews if you want to see some reputational capital first. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 This reality has brought me out of retirement back into working in residential renovations. My elders are retiring, my few peers are fully booked, and few in the generations after Gen X have been interested in acquiring trade skills. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 Those who write the rules always leave themselves a solution for keeping their own privacy. There are 21 exemptions to this rule, only one of them is functionally available to most of us; non-statutory Trusts, private contracts never registered with any Secretary of State. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 I can 3d print dog tags with embedded NFC tags if you'd like. Perhaps your own version of this with an NFC link to the band's Wavlake hosted music... npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 There IS a perfect match though for private businesses and membership associations to operate Mints withoutt government or centralized rug pulls. Any organization, not serving the general public, can use eCash as an in-house accounting system. Perhaps as payroll systems that can be redeemed into LN sats on-demand by employees for saving or spending outside the 'company', using eCash within their closed system. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 After 30+ yrs as a War-Tax-Resistor existing solely in the cash economy I have experienced the liberation of attention freed up by not tracking, labelling, and reporting every cent earned and spent. What I didn't know couldn't be used against me, if I couldn't even track my cash flows the Nanny-State authorities couldn't either. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 I see this as creation of more resiliency for our civilization through decentralized supply chains that can adapt to local conditions and cultures. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 This works well as a short term highly secure solution. But '1 Is None', backing up your own memory somewhere at least once is proper operational security for the long haul. Some argue that while' 2 is 1, 3 is enough, 4 is best' when it comes to redundancies of essential systems. Usually, segregation and compartmentalization of risk is necessary too achieve resilient and effective security. These tactics apply in every realm we interact in; physical, contractual, digital, and virtual. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 Adding 'The Permaculture Design Manual' written by Bill Mollison AND 'Patter Language Design' by Christopher Alexandria will allow you to add that open source software to your sovereignty protocols. Siegeproof sovereignty requires control over ALL your basic daily needs. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 Been practicing self sovereign living for 30+ yrs now, since long before "social media". npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 If they are smart, locking down control of the supply chain for daily basic needs should be a priority. Shelter, water, food, fuel, & waste management must be under control in order to truly be self-sovereign. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 I just added a new link to my Nostree list My written work! 🎉. This nearly 5 year old resource has held up pretty well. Back then I saw the need for more privacy and transactability, so allowed for the alt-coins as a possible solution.[email protected] /qvmgNDTMX npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 If you're still open to it, I have a specific long standing very loyal Austin community I'd like to introduce to Nostr with a branded client. A macrobiotic and Montessori community I think they will understand the value in cultivating their community. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 As a Permaculture designer/builder I love how a www.homebiogas.com unit turns my bidet into a source of cooking fuel for the kitchen stove. Bio-char rocket stove wood gas generators turn wood chips into electricity. Just as we heat our home twice, when chopping wood and again when running a BTC Space Heater... the biogas unit fuels you twice, once from the garden and again for the stove. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 What type of filament are you using? npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 Nostr, like Bitcoin, has more in common with the oceans than the land. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 Did you embed NFC tags into those dogtags? npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 I need to figure out how to apply an image to the surface of a 3d object to be stored as an .stl file, so I can 3d print branded swap for individuals and businesses. How about I print and mail your own branded medallion, with an NFC tag embedded in it as payment for your assistance? npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 If I offered my services as a traveling "Make-Ready-4-Sale" punch out guy, would you pay me in LN sats for knocking out the punch-lists you prepare your property owners? npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 I offer the fiat plantation house slaves I often still work for (Bitcoiners tend to be too DIY and too frugal to pay for construction upgrades) a 10% discount of my stated rate for paper fiat at the time of service. Almost ALL of them take me up on this, IF I provide sufficient forward notice. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 Your point here puts the risks of Near Field Communication into perspective. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 This is truly a state-of-the-art construction solution. Both the locally grown bamboo and the basalt versions are amazing building materials in their own ways. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 You can also use LN Bits on your own server, a rented one, or even LN Bits SaaS. It's wallet excision toolkit let's you spin up your own node through there. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 I guess that's why as a Taoist Tai Chi practioner I was called to write The Tao of Bitcoin Banking in 2019. It's past time for me to update it with the Lightning Edition of the Tao of Bitcoin. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 Wow. It was a huge disappointment when I discovered when in PR in 2021 that Strike didn't work there. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 Water IS Life! Here's a high pressure non-electric water pump. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 The answer to this is for us all to become fully-noded. Becoming 1st Class Satoshi Citizens AND Business by running public/private paired nodes out of our homes and local community server vault/s. Federated, entrusted, portal nodes providing physical servers running Start9 VPNs, LN Bits, BTCPayservers, etc. sheltered within private liquidity lounges. These might start as private cooperatives popping up as hosts for Satoshis-only zones providing afrrdom forum for food, drink, & farmers/food/arts/crafts in a hybrid LN/Nostr trading bazaar. (I am about to plant the seeds for one of these Bitcoiner community cultivators in a college town soon...) npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 My "Nym" is a privately created WY LLC created on my behalf by a WY legal agent. Clients pay the LLC, avoiding their needing to 1099 me when compensation exceeds $600. This LLC has a River Financial DCA account setup as a fiat off ramp that turns fiat accepted into LN sats sent to a prism wallet dispersing sats out to multiple accounts. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 First of all it got a rave review from CryptoCloaks who has more experience than I do with 3d printing. My limited experience on a low end entry level printer was that bed leveling, adhesion, print time, and climate control of the filament all impact the efficiency of quality prints. I like that this set up has cases for both the filament spools and the print bed to keep chemical smells contained and dut out, while reglating temperatures. I also expect this to give faster prints, done quietly, more consistently, with multi-color prints made even easier. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 Toshi npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 Soon I will be getting my hands on one of these. I look forward to running this 3d printer around the clock. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 Let's build a Nostr Market for these 3d model files, perhaps a Plebian Market stall, for selling these files for Zaps... npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 This seems like potential use case for the hardware that www.satslink.com is about to make available to us all... npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 When I build I don't just sweat, I bleed, and if I reacted to pain and/or failure by crying rather than laughing, tears would likely be a daily occurrence, too. A true Warrior, not an armchair spectator, enters the fray prepared to fail, bleed, and possibly die. Doing so because it needs done, without concern for their personal survival. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 Here's a solution I've found works great to activate phone numbers anonymously. I used a BTC Co prepaid USD cars to pay the $4.99 one-time expense for them to ship me a Sims card to a friend's PO Box. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 I've been working out of PlebLab in Austin, using the 3d printer there to create NFC tag holders that can be programmed for spending, receiving, and/or ID badges. We have local private poker houses using PMAs to enable gambling behind their Membership contractual wall despite the State not allowing gambling. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 I would expect that my idea of combining Nostr IDs, LN Bits, and NFC wallets as access medallions into a Private Membership club ID badge/wallet interface is not an idea that's crossed your path yet... npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 @npub1mar…p7hd npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 You just described my morning perfectly. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 What you refer to as Truth Oracles I see as a form of Notarization Service. An interesting point regarding the law in the US at least, is that an Affidavit signed by two Witnesses testifying that we are who we say we are and that we signed a document in theory presence has the same legal standing as if it had been Witnessed by a State licensed Notary. npub1qq50zturtx4ns2uf2adt26pcpmez47ur9ds6a4fwaax5u5evr3nsnu2qvm Ov1 My spiritual kin call me OV, you are obviously a Brother-in-Arms, more Kindred in spirit than any of my actual blood relations... So please, address me in more familiar terms.
