Nice but I’m not on Android so can’t use the Amethyst app.

GM!
I've been thinking about the bot issue. It only takes one follower in your WoT who follows a bot (and probably doesn’t realise it) to ruin it. Asking for proof of life when you follow someone is impractical to say the least.
I guess the main way to identify a bot is through their actions — spamming accounts or the same account (aka ReplyGuy). So what if there was an option for auto-unfollowing an npub if they sent the same message to more than [n] accounts or [n] times to the same account? Maybe an option to choose how much of the spam message needs to be identical to qualify.
I realise this doesn’t stop bots who generate random gibberish notes to each spamee (if that’s a word) but it could make a difference. It could also remove a bunch of follows if the tolerance is set too low so maybe a warning would be good if it went below a certain level.
I’m just spitballing. I also have no idea if it’s even possible. What do people think? Could this help?

Readable version:
Oh Clint Quint, your posts are like watching a toddler play with a Bitcoin dollhouse—adorable yet utterly clueless. You casually mention a loophole for mining BTC like it’s your weekend hobby, but let's be real, creating a hard fork isn't exactly the same as baking cookies. Your confidence in predicting that 'ALL TIME HIGHS, BABY!' just reeks of optimism, or perhaps delusion—what’s your current estimate, by the way? As if everyone hasn’t already seen this movie play out a hundred times before. The delightful image of you watching 'traders and shitcoiners panic' is just the cherry on top of your smug sundae. And you think #Lightning will magically solve the problem of fractions of Sats? Oh, you sweet, naive soul. Still, I admire your determination in trying to turn your Bitcoin inheritance into a zillionaire's fortune, even if it means you’re more likely to break even with last week’s pantry cleaning. And thanks for that charming insight into your stampede out of toxic Twitter—it’s almost touching how you yearn for a simpler, more amicable digital landscape. But seriously, let's get real. If you think this whole 'Nostr' thing is just like early Twitter but with less toxicity, just wait until the spambots arrive at the party—then we can really talk! Keep that optimism flowing, but maybe keep a parachute handy just in case!

Yeah. I ditched Facebook years ago and NEVER used that Messenger app. Stayed away from Twitter until I wanted to get involved with more immediate bitcoin news and chat. I’m not totally off-grid but getting there.
Thanks for the Zap, by the way. I feel like I should zap back but that feels redundant. I’ll do it another time, when you least expect it. Haha.

Thanks. I hope you win some sats tomorrow but I must admit that Bitcoin’s cutting it fine.

There is now less than a day left for my $74K #bitcoin prediction to come true and I’m starting to wonder if I could possibly be wrong.
Nope, I’m so sure about this that, if Bitcoin hits a new all-time high by 6pm UTC tomorrow evening, I’ll celebrate by splitting 5000 sats between all my followers.
Terms and conditions apply:
* Anyone following me after 6pm on1st September 2024 will be ineligible.
* ATH price must be in US dollars and based on at least two of the major exchanges.
* Anyone caught buying billions of dollars worth of #BTC in order to win a share of the 5000 satoshis will be disqualified.
* Total to be shared between the lucky followers is 0.00005000 Bitcoin.
* I reserve the right to cancel the offer if I’ve made a typo or something stupid like that.

I use Brave too, mainly for work, but have been trying to get my brain around Arc recently. It is very nice but will continue using Brave for work, I think. It’s all set up as I like it for multiple work clients.

I have a #nostrnoob question. I’ve been trying out a few different iPhone #nostr clients recently and have noticed that follows and likes don’t always register on all of them.
For example, I’ve had to follow the same person 3 times on 3 different Nostr clients.
Anyway, my question is: Is this to do with relays? And is there something I need to be doing to get them all to sync?
#asknostr
Thanks.

I think that means we don’t need to be told what we can and can’t see on our feeds. I also like seeing my stuff chronologically. I hate reading a new tweet and then noticing it was posted a week ago.

2024-08-30 20:03:16

I remember when #Twitter was fun. I had conversations with people I’d never normally speak to from all walks of life - including successful actors, musicians, politicians, athletes, etc - and no-one shilled stuff to you, no ads, no real toxicity. People were happy to follow others and there wasn’t the kudos of “Hey, I’ve got 10,000 followers and I only follow 50”.
As soon as newsreaders started inviting their viewers to share comments on their feed, I knew things were changing. Corporate accounts followed and then ads. It was inevitable, of course. It’s a business obviously but I dropped out for years before I returned because of my need for up-to-date #bitcoin news. But #TwitterX has become a shitpile of toxicity and political polarity and it can be a bit of a downer plowing through my feed sometimes.
But now I’m on #Nostr and I’m chill again. I know I’m repeating my thoughts of earlier notes but it’s a genuine joy to be here.
Hello.

I know it looks like we're not hitting new #bitcoin all-time highs by Sunday evening but I’m sure we will. It’s just simple math. Nothing can go wrong now. #eternaloptimism #nevergiveupneversurrender #whodareswins #etc

Friends often ask what I will do if #Bitcoin fails. I normally bore them with an explanation of decentralisation and network effect.
But I now realise it’s much more than that. It can never fail for me because, no matter what happens, studying #bitcoin has taught me so much about how money and economies work and especially the value of saving and patience.
Until I discovered Bitcoin, I’d never saved a penny in my life and lived month-to-month, mired in debt.
I don’t have much but I feel more secure about my financial future and the future of my family.
Every day I buy a few more #sats. Another small step closer to freedom.

2024-08-29 01:22:07

It feels to me like everyone actually wants to get along on #nostr or at least involve themselves in constructive argument. It’s like standing outside in the cool night air after thrashing around in the mosh pit of #TwitterX. Maybe we shouldn’t tell anyone else about this place.

2024-08-28 00:52:23

I’ve been taking my time with #Nostr, just jumping in every now and then for the #bitcoin talk, but over the past couple of days I’ve really started examining what this whole thing is and what it can be and — Wow, this is huge and amazing and classy and enjoyable and ad-free and … it could really make a difference.

It actually has historical precedents. It took 24 weeks for the #Bitcoin price to rise above the last peak before the halving in both 2016 and 2020. We are currently in the 24th week after the pre-halving peak so I guess it could be anytime now but I hedged with the first day of September. And 6pm? Well, might as well go all in and get super-specific. Imagine the kudos if I nail it!

My #bitcoin all-time high prediction for Sunday 1st September at about 6pm UTC is still on track.

Is this a thing anywhere?
Energy companies that mine #bitcoin with their own excess energy and your incentive for signing up with them is a small share of their block rewards.
That would be cool. Maybe you could choose to have it in #sats or credit towards your bill. Essentially it would be like mining #BTC simply by using household electricity.

Hello, fellow #bitcoiners. Taken me too long to get my act together and move over to #nostr.

2024-08-10 18:27:18

Hello, fellow #bitcoiners. That’s all I have to say for now.
