Maybe a value-for-value trade? I do ***highly*** customized AI-powered portraits. Haven’t been at it long, but getting universal great reactions. Hence my need for this functionality! ;) npub1wvkvgrs2ukg4hx9tdh2k7kfgu9swxche5ae479d43aufueldfdkqwr5uxy DoYouEvenBTC Which way, western man?

Maybe there some kind of clever trick where you hash the original image, use some kind of private key that’s only accessible if the payment is successful… This kind of detail is over my head… But I know enough about the big picture, I like to think, to believe that this is not only possible, but probably not that hard? https://cdn.nostr.build/i/66215a433271f6ba3d1312703012fbba652ad4f7e3b49768c0fd3625605aaadf.jpg https://cdn.nostr.build/i/62f4df32b24d3536ae9f864fa8c9aa30749fe41ebe09f0f00a7fe1ff98aad43f.jpg https://cdn.nostr.build/i/02c80923409b6bcb5f089934d833050d1353789e2d83fc0009cadf7f33c11be8.jpg https://cdn.nostr.build/i/8ae0525bfd80134c68895b1c5bd9f75ec8bf456aa8e989f94f2aac0dbecc56d3.jpg https://cdn.nostr.build/i/dcf5008cfa4a7f2455c36239f32e6872147f97755b8b8f8e0bf07b54a1626e5e.jpg https://cdn.nostr.build/i/472b9a5a8e9b3914438d0116039ab023ba7d0be0db425ce4407d853ed571918f.jpg npub1wvkvgrs2ukg4hx9tdh2k7kfgu9swxche5ae479d43aufueldfdkqwr5uxy DoYouEvenBTC I’m getting some good traction doing custom portraits…. Looking at charging normies $20 for a handful. Just getting started, still finding product-market fit and figuring out what works and what doesn’t.

I can spend $2 on a drink or $10 on a trinket or toy…. Or would I rather have the sats? Less frivolity, waste, and materialism is probably good for the spirit, eh? npub1wvkvgrs2ukg4hx9tdh2k7kfgu9swxche5ae479d43aufueldfdkqwr5uxy DoYouEvenBTC Bitcoin will change you more than you will change bitcoin.

We need to buy a (cash) car. I want to try an experiment in distributed capitalism. We have a vague fundraising goal of roughly 10,000,000 sats. And if somebody wants to pay that in advance for some graphics work, I would take it! Probably not wise for either of us, though. 😂 Conversely, I could do 3333 tiny jobs for 3000 sats each… ****or**** 75 jobs where: The first one is 3000 sats Second one is 6000 sats Third one is 9000 sats Etc Presumably scaling in complexity along the way. Proposed tiny job: badass (or cute or whatever) custom selfie. You want wallpaper? Icons? Concept art? If you can imagine it, I can probably find a way to bring it to life! Midjourney is ***great*** as an inexhaustible clip art generator, but I can do work beyond prompt farming. HMU!

I’m about ready to try experimenting with livestreaming some hardware-based electronic music jams. I poked around nostrnests a little bit, but pretty sure I was playing to an empty room, and not 100% certain I’ve got my audio worked out. Streaming video+audio would be better from a proof-of-work standpoint (watch me push buttons and tweak knobs in real-time), so maybe that’s a keet thing? I would love to get the kinks worked out and just have a set schedule to sit down and JAM, ya know? Having an audience (even a small or potential one) makes a difference, for sure. ;) Anyone interested in performing or watching jams?

I propose an experiment: needs a snappy name which I don’t have right now, so I’m just going to call it “nostriches paying it forward” I’m going to post an invoice for a small amount, just in the hopes that some generous pleb feels like paying it. Also, I will graciously accept any zaps lol. What I propose to do (open to suggestions on how to properly accomplish this) is, when I am able: 1) combine the amount of the invoice plus zaps 2) send AT LEAST THAT MUCH 3) a publicly verifiable way 4) to another pleb that needs help, and/or nostr devs, and/or some other cause that can be more or less universally agreed on by the community at large. Nope, I don’t have anything to collateralize beyond my negligible reputation. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ********** Sob story (abridged): Bitcoin has helped me tremendously lower my time preference and give me REALISTIC hope for an optimistic future. Both for myself and immediate family, as well as humanity at large. Unfortunately, I am late to the game. Like many, what REALLY got me to take more than a passing glance at bitcoin was NGU technology. I got in during 2021, rapid orange pill thanks to many. Shitcoin phase worked out fast, worked out early. Proud BITCOIN ONLY. But first, rewind: April 2018 My wife and I are both able-bodied adults working full-time jobs, taking care of some cats. Pretty firmly in the lower middle class, living comfortably, not spending very lavishly, but also not saving a fucking thing. September 2019: We are now raising three children. They arrived one at a time under varied circumstances. It is a long and complicated story involving lawyers and CPS. My biological nephew and nieces, they now call us mama and daddy. November 2019: My wife has a stroke, at age 36. Her mind seems to be mostly unaffected, but she has some permanent paralysis and mobility issues. So before we could even feel like we had a grip on raising THREE children, the ground dropped beneath our feet. One additional human that needs regular help, and fewer hands to do it. And this is all before the year 2020. We were fortunately not DIRECTLY affected by Covid during the worst of it. But take all of the above and throw a pandemic on top of it… Yeah, it was a bit much. We had hoped for my wife to go back to work eventually, but it eventually became clear that that was not feasible. She actually got FIRED from her job, right as lockdowns etc. started to happen, and the unemployment system was overwhelmed. We literally could not reach a human being that could help us. Between the novelty of our custody situation (which we had court orders for) and obstinance from birth mother, we didn’t get most of the government assistance we might have otherwise received, and/or it was greatly delayed. This includes all tax/stimulus situations. With a lot of help from a lot of friends, and a few strangers, we managed to slog it out. But I finally hit a breaking point in January of this year. A bit OVER-determined, in that I had been in a more or less constant state of survival/emergency/panic mode for over three years solid. We lost an entire income stream (my wife’s job), gained a whole lot of responsibilities (three kids plus a legal fight), and then my own income also went down along with the overall economy during the Covid lockdowns. Fortunate to not die: yes! Was it ever easy? No. Our home life has stabilized, we’re falling back into a regular rhythm, business is picking up, things are looking good. At least, we seem like we can maybe START to move in the right direction. We have debts, deferred maintenance, lots of messes, literal and metaphorical. I’ve been treading water for a long time, about to drown from exhaustion and starvation. But holy shit it’s cool to see yall building!!!

It’s a facebook group called “Hardware Jams”; musicians that play live with hardware. Typically synths and drum machines, and occasional “traditional” instruments. Every week there is a “Weekend Challenge”; a prompt gets dropped on Friday morning, and everyone has until Monday to record a short jam. A live streamthrough happens on Monday, and an no-stakes poll is taken. It’s effectively a virtual open-mic. The community is super warm and friendly, and there is some INCREDIBLE talent in the space. It’s really cool to see what folks come up with on such a short timeline.

Got a lot going on IRL, a bit rusty right now; but want to get back to playing regularly. Excited to see what nostr (and/or keet?) can do for niche home-based musicians. I’ve seen some real good family vibes in virtual communities built around creators. Native zaps and sat-streaming are going to change the game. The cream will rise to the top. SATS ARE SIGNAL npub1wvkvgrs2ukg4hx9tdh2k7kfgu9swxche5ae479d43aufueldfdkqwr5uxy DoYouEvenBTC I’m interested, about to click around and dig now. I’m clumsy here lol. My current thing: hardware-based live-and-direct electronic jams. I’m a rough hobbyist, but there are cool and amazing artists in the niche that I would love to orangepill. npub1wvkvgrs2ukg4hx9tdh2k7kfgu9swxche5ae479d43aufueldfdkqwr5uxy DoYouEvenBTC (Riffing on Dennett is my current thing, apparently) #Bitcoin changes everything. It’s a “universal acid”, eating through everything it touches, including any container. That makes it a tremendous thinking tool. Bitcoin forces us to come to terms with things we THOUGHT we understood, but only because most of us tacitly agree to collectively NOT look too closely. We hover around the topic, not digging too deep. We all have fuzzy concepts that overlap enough for us to make do. But we can find that we might mean very different things when using a given set of words. What is “life”? What is a “mind”? What is “money”? ******* Evolution by natural selection explains the unity and diversity of life on Earth. Design without a designer. Darwin’s “strange inversion of reasoning” was summarized by a critic as: “‘In order to make a perfect and beautiful thing, it is not requisite to know how to make it!’” It was said pejoratively, but it ***is*** accurate. There is amazing design in living things. Darwin’s theory explains it. ***** Dennett riffs on this when looking at Alan Turing, who invented the computer. (Later made practical by Von Neumann). Turing’s strange inversion: “In order to be a perfect computing machine, it is not prerequisite to understand arithmetic”. By arranging matter and energy in a precise way, a machine can do work that used to require a thinking person, trained for years or decades. In principle, there isn’t anything a mathematician can do that cannot be replicated by a machine; given adequate resources. You can make a calculator. Or a chess player. Or a digital “painter” that takes text as input and renders astonishingly relevant, compelling, and varied images. ********* What is Satoshi’s strange inversion? I have a feeling for the character, but haven’t found words that match the other two just yet. 1/n npub1wvkvgrs2ukg4hx9tdh2k7kfgu9swxche5ae479d43aufueldfdkqwr5uxy DoYouEvenBTC I am a man of my word. 🤞 npub1wvkvgrs2ukg4hx9tdh2k7kfgu9swxche5ae479d43aufueldfdkqwr5uxy DoYouEvenBTC Making music, generally, in different ways over the years. More recently focused on hardware-based live-performed electronic music. Drifted in that direction after getting married and coordinating gigs and shows with other people got more difficult. npub1wvkvgrs2ukg4hx9tdh2k7kfgu9swxche5ae479d43aufueldfdkqwr5uxy DoYouEvenBTC #nostrmarket my personal proof-of-work is live-recorded hardware-based electronic music. I just dabble, there are some killer artists in this niche. If you want some short commissioned pieces, say for a podcast intro or something, maybe HMU. I’m a bit out of practice right now, and have some things happening on the homefront, but want to get back into performing and playing regularly. Love doing it for it’s own sake, but getting a few sats would be FUCKIN RAD. An example below: Live jam, recorded direct to video. Starts from blank, and not IMPROVISED exactly, as this was take twelve or so: https://youtu.be/LvC18k65YJc npub1wvkvgrs2ukg4hx9tdh2k7kfgu9swxche5ae479d43aufueldfdkqwr5uxy DoYouEvenBTC Lovin it, man! I’m an out-of-practice hardware-based electronic musician. I like to do stuff “live” at home; i like to think of it as a kind of proof-of-work! Looking forward to being able to stream seamlessly within this environment. #Bitcoin is indeed a “universal acid”, as Daniel Dennett puts it. It will eat through everything it touches, including any container you try to keep it in. It will consume everything, eventually. Looking forward to the day where instead of paying a dozen different services for audio/visual entertainment, we can just all set a sats/per minute budget and consume away. Certain projects can be crowdfunded/paywalled, but the default will be FREE (as in free speech) and near-free (as in free beer). npub1wvkvgrs2ukg4hx9tdh2k7kfgu9swxche5ae479d43aufueldfdkqwr5uxy DoYouEvenBTC They taste like….

Yes. Will there? Probably not! Think of Bitcoin as a PROTOCOL, not the “thing” (“bitcoins”/“satoshis”) itself. It’s not that there CAN’T be another one. Something else may have worked, had history gone differently. But here we are. History is what it is. We are ***early*** in terms of raw numbers - most people have heard of Bitcoin, but a very small subset holds some, and a smaller subset of THAT group are hardcore Bitcoin-only But a strong foundation is being built. Bitcoin may not be “perfect” - but it’s good enough! It performs the function of separating money from state. People are opting in. Standards are being developed, infrastructure is being built, best practices are emerging. Every new user and use case increases the value proposition of adopting a Bitcoin standard, which attracts new users, who create demand for continued improvements. A virtuous cycle. A positive-sum game. Anchored in the unforgeable truth of physics and mathematics. The only losing move is not to play. Much like driving on the right side of the road, the specifications for electrical outlets, or “righty-tighty-lefty-loosy” in the human-engineered world, or the genetic code and Krebs cycle in biology, the protocol has “going to fixation”. Bitcoin wasn’t the first effort at “digital cash”. But it was the first one that WORKED. It has the properties that are needed to create a fair system that separates money from state. The META-trick was the invention of “digital scarcity”. Proof-of-work + digital signatures + difficulty adjustment + ongoing hashed timechain was Satoshi’s particular implementation. And of course, two features #Bitcoin maybe didn’t “need” as a minimum tech spec for a viable digital cash, but have certainly enhanced it’s memetic fitness: *21 million HARD-CAP *the immaculate conception Technically, another “sound” and “viable in principle” digital cash system could be invented. But the real world, full of real humans, is NOISY! Satoshi effectively threw a basketball from across the ocean, and the trajectory was 99% spot on. As as been said many times elsewhere, not only did Satoshi have a good idea, TECHNICALLY. By appearing from nowhere, and then disappearing the way he did, he gave his seed of an idea some fertilizer and some protection. Like so many great discoveries, the creation and early nurturing of Bitcoin would not have happened the way it did without hard work, incredible foresight, and plenty of dumb luck. Can there be “another Bitcoin”? Maybe. But for those of us who can see the writing on the wall, we are CERTAIN there is ‘t a shorter way to get “there” from “here”, when we define “there” as “separation of money and state”. Bitcoin may not be perfect, but holy shit IT IS GOOD ENOUGH. IT WORKS. IT’S WORKING. Satoshi tossed the ball from 21 million miles away, we just have to tip it in! We just have to not fuck it up.
