Last Notes npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Yesterday my wife and I were reading Isaiah 65 as part of our Easter practice and it’s a description of heaven. It’s where that famous verses about “lions will eat straw”and “wolves and lambs will eat together” come from. This passage also talks about how living 100 years will be just the beginning for you. And that death and disease will be no more. But something that struck me anew this year was this long description about how people won’t labor in vain, that they will work and get to keep the fruits of their labor. According to God: theft is up there with death and disease as the great injustices of the human condition. I believe you can boil the call of every Christian’s life is to help bring Heaven to Earth. It’s important to work on things that bring Heaven closer, it’s the only worthwhile goal to labor for in this life. Bitcoin is not the savior, but Bitcoin feels aligned with bringing Heaven to Earth. It’s takes power away from corrupt people and reduces the theft perpetrated by those people. I’m glad to be working on something every day that feels aligned with my values and could help all people live better lives. Happy Easter friends. npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg I was just talking to a friend about this. Nostr could disrupt email in this way. No need for passwords anywhere just sign events 🤔 npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg If brute force isn’t working. You’re not using enough of it. Learn that at work every day 😂 npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg After my experience with Stripe today I am adding this option ASAP npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Fucking hell. Once again Stripe shows why we need Bitcoin. I’ve launched a small tool that folks can use and I charge based on usage. But Stripe in their infinite wisdom has deemed my Stripe account suspicious so they’ve blocked the ability to send my revenue to myself. I thought to myself “that’s fine, no one has paid yet, it’s still early” Come to find out today that everyone that’s tried to pay has been blocked from doing so…. Because my account was deemed suspicious. Sigh. I thought my launch was off to a rocky start… Nope! I was just kneecapped by fiat gatekeepers. Fiat is hell. npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg The abundant economy of the future requires the unimpeachable scarcity of money. npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg If you’re an idea person that’s wanted to build something on Nostr, coding with cursor is worth a try. It won’t write great code, it can’t handle big applications, but it can get you from nothing to something. And these days it’s easier than ever to accept payments (fiat or Bitcoin). If anyone wants advice hit me up, I love to help folks get over the hump and build their first project. npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg I’ve done some work for a few YouTubers recently and they told me that Nostr is cool but without a large enough audience the “keep more of your income” thing isnt a winning argument. And they’re barely scraping by as is with YouTube constantly changing their algorithm. And all the other great things about Nostr require there to be a lot of content (algo choice, zaps, never goes down, censorship resistance, etc) It’s definitely a chicken and egg problem. I think the only way out is apps that can ONLY be built on Nostr that will thrive. Things that are impossible for X or Insta or YouTube to do. That can be a bigger base audience than just people who care about freedom tech. And can attract increasing number of folks to other stuff npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg In the post scarcity future, it’s going to be what most humans do with their time. Figuring out how to help people make a decent income doing this work is critical to the future npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Any writers out there? Been trying to write a sci-fi book and could use some advice npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Fuck me, forgot to put the url: https://anystory.io Seriously gotta be careful on Nostr ‘cause… ya know… no edit nor delete 😂 npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Just launched an AI assistant for writing. Like cursor but built for blog posts, books, sermons or video scripts. It’s free to start, pay as you go (no subscription) and I’ll be integrating Bitcoin for paying for credits. Would love any and all feedback! https://m.primal.net/PXLS.mov npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg DM sent but I’m not sure if DMs still work the same on Nostr or if people have moved to non NIP4 platforms as a matter of course npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg LFG! Love that thank you npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Would I be able to get physical cash that way? I thought Bisq was digital only? npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Hell yeah this is great way to power a wallet business. What’s the simplest way to just accept payment to a lightning address? Is it as simple as creating a lightning invoice but hardcode the destination to my corporate wallet? Is there any way in Bitvora to get observe payments so I can get a webhook when an invoice is paid (so I can add credits to the account that just paid) npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg This is great. Super simple. npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg 👀 npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg 👀 npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg If I want to accept bitcoin as payment for API credits on my app what’s the best service to use? npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Optimism is rebellion in today’s culture. I love Nostr for many reasons but the optimist to pessimist ratio is a big one. npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Sooooo hyperinflation wen? Five years? npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg A future of abundance is more likely today than ever before. People that have fought for decentralization have made tremendous progress. Because of their work, the most important developments in technology are now uncontrollable by elites. We are going to see an explosion of human flourishing powered by abundant intelligence, mechanical labor, more energy than we know what to do with, and hard money. Buckle up folks. It’s gonna be bumpy in the short term, but a bright future is more than possible. npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg The start of unwinding of the Cantillon Effect in real time npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Civilisation is whatever reduces violence between humans. Conquest and theft are the base way to resolve conflicts between humans, and any system we put into place that reduces that is an improvement. Monarchy, theocracy, communism were all innovations that reduced violence for a time but each had a ceiling in its effectiveness because centralized power always leads to corruption. Capitalism is one of the most civilizing forces imaginable. Pushing violent conflict for scarce resources into the realm of competition in business. Democracy pushes political violence into the realm of campaigns and strategic caucusing. These two systems together have no upper limit on how many people they can help, but they backslide when the money is broken. Both need Bitcoin to continue civilising the world and spreading prosperity and freedom throughout the world. Glad to know the people of Nostr because yall are soldiers that fight for fairness, freedom, and human flourishing. Every day I see something that makes the future seem brighter. npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Lasting hope is not found, it is cultivated. It requires daily practice reinforced by taking action to improve the world around you. npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Total Trojan horse. At the very least it’s taking out a massive loan to invest, we don’t have surpluses to invest. And I doubt it’ll beat the index funds, so it’s just a huge losing proposition. npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg If Bitcoin was the only currency on earth and every bank was Thanos snapped out of existence…would banks exist 20 years later? I think they would. They’d have less influence and fewer of their products would be profitable, but a Bitcoin future likely involves Bitcoin banks. npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Man i can’t wait for a Bitcoin future. I’m in Argentina and I can’t withdraw money from an ATM using my US debit card without a 25% fee but I can’t go to a money changing place and send Bitcoin to get local money. And I can’t find any working Bitcoin ATMs. This is such a stupid problem. There would be serious money in being one of those folks in the park who does money changing but with Bitcoin. Just hold pesos in cash and accept lightning or on chain payments. You could orange pill a ton of folks and save everyone a ton of money. Way more accessible than requiring people to bring US dollars in cash. If you know anyone doing this let me know! I want to use their services. npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg I’m in Buenos Aires and someone has painted the raw Bitcoin genesis block on a house near where I’m staying. Love it. npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Just arrived in Buenos Aires, it’s a beautiful city and the people are very friendly (even when I attempt my broken Spanish 😅) Does anyone have advice on how to pay with Bitcoin or how to exchange Bitcoin for pesos to spend locally? It’s easy to be eaten alive by exchange fees out here. npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg There’s so much hate in your post I’m not sure what you’re actually saying. Happy to debate if that’s something you’re open to. I often change my mind when presented with good arguments. I’m hopefully for a fully decentralized Bitcoin future but I’m also realistic I haven’t seen good solutions to doing everyone on chain and cheaply without compromising something critical about Bitcoin. If we get to a future as I mentioned in my original post things are better than today and can evolve forward to an ideal future when the right solution comes together npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg It makes sense to me that lightning becomes a decentralised version of ACH but for bigger payments or settling between bigger players (the future of interbank transfers). While Cashu is used for all the day to day spending of everyday people. Then on-chain is mostly for governments, rebels, wealthy folks, and banks. npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg What was he doing to not play along? Another whistleblower silenced? npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg That would make some sense but the shooting looked well prepared. Either professional or someone who planned for a while. Anyone that would hire a professional can afford not to be fucked but insurance. And most of the time when it’s a distraught person they don’t care about being caught. This guy seems to be working hard to get away with it. npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg That was my thought to but the hit looked pretty professional. Might it not be power politics getting kinetic? Just so bizarre. npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Please! I’d love to read and help 🙋♂️ npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg https://image.nostr.build/c3f6924f70cea7a858c51a800214ff6a735b3623014a687812260b5dd7698f3c.jpg npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg I’ll be spending six month there starting in January! Any other recommendations? npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Totally fair. Would you like your own npub to subscribe to? That way any future alerts could publish there too. I’ve been thinking of adding weather and ux index as well so people can plan runs or activities with their kids. npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Oh interest so generate an npub per use and publish to it? How would you ensure you get alerted and it doesn’t get lost in your feed? npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Just built a little air quality alert tool. You pick a location, get daily forecast or an alert if the forecast will go above a threshold you set. It currently sends text and email alerts. Would anyone want me to add Nostr DMs as a delivery mechanism for their use? npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg This is amazing high quality, high signal, low view count podcast about bringing about abundance in the world by leaning into capitalism. Seems right up this community’s alley! Love the tagline: “prosperity is energy intensive” https://youtu.be/N6hLGUW3R90 npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg That would make many monetized social interactions much easier 🤔 Nice Sam, hell yeah 🤙 npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg On the bright side, Bitcoin having a relatively stable price means it’s actually a good store of value… The best stores of value are stable with upside so I’d say Bitcoin is maturing into that role. Which means more folks with lower risk profiles will eventually pile in. Just seems like day to day we’re in that old adage of “a watched pot never boils” but progress is being made on all fronts. npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg So is the main goal to create anonymity on the zap sender’s part? Thats pretty cool. npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Nice can’t wait to dig in npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg That’s cool. Excuse my ignorance: If each event has a lighting address how does the service ensure the event author can receive that money? npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Is there a zap only client? Just find someone by npub and zap any amount? This is particularly difficult on iOS because of the AppStore I think. npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg This is exactly what I was looking for! npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg LFG this is excellent. Gonna share with the folks I’m talking to about it. npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Thank you! npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Is there a good explanation of the outbox model somewhere that I can share? @npub1l2v…ajft @npub10np…tl5h maybe? Having more convos about it as the way Nostr can scale and don’t have a great write up to share. npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Brown noise is such an unlock for helping get into flow state. Heard about it on the Lex Fridman podcast, tried it out and BAM. Just spent like 12 hours coding today. npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Does it publish people’s answers as events in the clear? Or is there some privacy built in? npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Oops sorry npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Was watching this #Nostriga talk on funding Nostr https://youtu.be/qD-Y0fq5KiA?si=4BHtI0tsDDjTwvxL I think it’s ok that there aren’t a ton of VCs investing yet. It’s not the role of investors to donate money. It’s also not the role of protocols to be profitable. One of the great side effects of capitalism is that you get talented, smart people who get wealthy and can afford to donate when a technology is too young to be profitable. That means a lot of folks are contributing without being supported enough to do it full time. This isn’t ideal but it does force contractors to be ruthless with their time. Only working on what is critical in their estimation. From my understanding of history we are on the blessed timeline, and things seem to be happening in the right timing to build something truly great. Once we can build profitable businesses on top of the unique capabilities of Nostr THEN we will see investment rolling in. I have every faith Nostr will continue its rapid improvement and we will, in time, eat Big Tech’s lunch. npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg People who have replaced religion with politics. They’re looking to see their savior in person npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg You’re in the right place! Welcome! npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Depends on what you truly want from social media. If your goal is connecting with people then leaving wouldn’t improve your health unless your people aren’t here/responding. If you find your true motivation is validation from other people responding to you. Then a full detox may actually be healthy. There are many other motivations too. But it seems like you are saying you’re not getting what you want out of social media and I hope that changes for you. 🫂 npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Anyone know if there’s a VPS provider in El Salvador? Seems like a jurisdiction that may be safer than Europe for hosting apps. I can’t find one with a data center actually located in El Salvador. npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Forgive my ignorance. What’s a relay hub? npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Helping people cultivate hope when things are hard. Wish I could do it more npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Hell yeah, where at? npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Totally but we have to share relays in order to see each others’ content. Are there any safe jurisdictions that we can host in? Even then is a VPN or access via Tor the only way to access it if our native country starts trying to block access to relays to take them down? npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Totally but unless we share relays then you can’t see each others’ content so we definitely need to aim towards having as many relays as we have DNS servers for the internet npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg If there are heads to the hydra it’s the relay operators right? How healthy is that ecosystem at this point in history? npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg What does active resistance look like for the average person? Genuinely want to hear your and others folks’ ideas. npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Feeling excited to build stuff today. What are yall working on? I’m trying to build something to alert me in the morning when the smoke forecast in my area exceeds an AQI limit I set. npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Wow integrating with Telegram is so easy. Just built a system to alert myself to new user signups and errors and it took me 5 minutes. I can’t believe it took me so long 😂 npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Sounds awesome thanks for connecting npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg That makes sense. I keep forgetting we are on Nostr where folks actually do the thing instead of just build knowledge about the thing. npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Thank you! What do you mean yours isn’t ready yet? npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Oh damn I wanna meet @npub16ux…lra7 based on their profile even if they don’t have answer. I am a huge regenerative agriculture nerd npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg That’s what I’m wondering. If farmers want it and it doesn’t exist I’m also happy to build a directory 😂 “Solve problems you have” and all that npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg I’m looking to buy a half a cow to put in a chest freezer so I can buy direct from a farmer. Any advice on how to find someone? npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg 1. Commercial real estate losses mounting 2. Housing prices declining 3. Unemployment up 4. Deficit spending still high 5. Interest rates still high Is this finally it? I think this will be the beginning of the next printer round if the losses are bad enough banks have to finally realize all those unrealised losses they’ve been hiding since the collapse of SVB. I’ll be it’s gonna be a wild few months npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Who wants to pave the streets with gold? Seems like that wouldn’t be crazy with what we can find in asteroids. npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg If countries start using Bitcoin as a reserve asset, do yall think that’ll be positive? Or is it too centralizing a force at this point? npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Sure but can it be built so arresting people wouldn’t stop it. npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg I wonder if there’s a way to build wikileaks on Nostr as a protocol instead of a company. So there’s no one to arrest and no central server to shut down npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Thinking about spending a few months in El Salvador. Anyone form there or lived there for a while? Hoping to plug into a local community. npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg I’ll have to check it out 💪 thanks 🙏 npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Anyone aware of any books or essays on abundance generated by technology? Been doing my research but it seems not much thought has gone into the possibility of a radically abundant future (and how it may not be far off) npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg https://media.tenor.com/UFXpodC9gLUAAAAC/this-is-the-way-this-is-the-way-mandalorian.gif npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Wonderful thank you! npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Been thinking of spending a few months there. Any advice for an American looking to get the most of of time there? npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Finally coming up for air after a while heads down. How yall doing? What’s new in the nostr-verse? npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg lol I gave up social media for lent and come back to Nostr today. It’s glorious 😂 npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg That’s very kind. Thanks for your support ❤️ npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Yall have been very kind and delightful partners ❤️ npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Thanks for being a great reader ❤️ npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Hey Folks, I’m going to pause contributing to the Nostr Tech Weekly. I have too many commitments at this point to give it the time it deserves. I still fully believe in Nostr and the community and the wonderful devs 💪. I’ve had a lot of fun working with @npub19md…6vzk and look forward to seeing how to support the community going forward. Love yall ❤️ npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg I haven’t seen that yet but I’m totally with you. Almost requires nsecbunker to work though 🤔 npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Are you thinking like a presigned event? Or something that is a more abstract interface that also takes your private key to sign it? npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg How can it be evergreen if it’s not in all caps? 😂 npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Logos for decentralized tech seem to be emergent phenomena from memes more than direct effort by a small group. Each of your mentioned examples have small organizations who are responsible for development so it’s natural for them to form a logo. I’d argue the ostrich is the meme that underpins any logo. We just haven’t found the style and form factor of the ostrich that is iconic enough to have everyone converge on one logo. npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg 🤔 what I do is use a custom GPT that I just add the link to the NIPs GitHub repo as part of the system prompt. Works well for me. Just gotta say “please search the Nostr NIPs repo before answering” Downloading and fine tuning may be overkill npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg I went with Strike for now. Until I learn enough to do self custody, that is npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 greg Sounds like @npub1ex7…vyt9 but with a relationship with one Swiss bank instead of banks all over the world. That said, Strike’s API is young and this could encourage more B2B payment rails that cross the Bitcoin / fiat divide.
