Last Notes npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Let's not forget that the only reason the ColdCard hack was so economically and psychologically significant among self-custodians, is that maximalists created a culture where we bullied each other into doing what the fucking influencers were being paid by CoinKite to tell us. The only person actually spanked for that is @nprofile…6z2t, and ALL THE OTHER VENAL FUCKSTICK MIC FELLATOOORS are dead fucking silent on the issue. It never fucking happened in 40HPW Land. #nevent1q…hvnq npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Imma need these AI slop ColdCards to be more realistic. What they're presenting here look like actual, usable, durable buttons, and that is not at all the ColdCard customer experience. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Our vulnerabilities npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Goddammit I mean speech-to-text npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost We found a lost little lamb. Don't worry like guy, you'll have a home soon. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I think Luke is performing an important service. We haven't given the bitcoin lunatics an exit to an alt-fork in quite a while. Alt-forks are an important part of the bitcoin ecosystem -- they serve as an adult daycare service for the mentally infirm. It's a nice, safe place they can go, where they will be separated with dignity from public scrutiny and serious discussion. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost TF does tallow have to do with software npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I think one of the most significant contributions to bitcoin that I've seen has been Luke delivering segwit in a way that helped us avoid a hard fork. Roger getting rando shave ice vendors in Indonesia to accept bitcoin for a week feels ... smaller. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost It would actually be pretty sad if a feckless creep like Roger Ver got further along forking bitcoin than LukeDashJr will. In bitcoin, the most absurd scenario is always the most likely. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost You're starting to see allegations from your batshit influencers who are making things up as they go...and who else exactly? npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost By all means, follow him off a cliff. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Cringe. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost This fucking guy. #nevent1q…2udh npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Personally, I hope more "bitcoiners" drop out and make room for all the people they would otherwise have scared off. This was never supposed to be an entire lifestyle identity. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost "You don't change bitcoin, but bitcoin changes you," goes the mantra. The lady who cuts my hair started accepting bitcoin directly as payment. That very act alone qualifies her as a "bitcoiner" ; a user of bitcoin. She does not appear to have had her brains scrambled like a lot of people here have. I don't think bitcoin changed her at all. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Also I promise not to be chaotic and boost this reply, but you have no idea how hard I'm trying. There are visible veins. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Oh my God. I thought it might be like people generating werewolf sex or some shit. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Wait, tell me more about this AI generated porn. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Kinda curious how that crank Jack Kruse is processing the BIP-110 failure. I mean, I don't care enough to look on X, though. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Vibe code a cashu invoicing system. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Bitcoiners think and talk too much, mostly because they just hang around each other online and radicalize each other instead of actually fixing any of the problems they've identified. "Bitcoin will fix it" they day. Lazy losers. #nevent1q…e2ns npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost And a merry irrelevant radicalization to you, Sir. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost You guys literally thought you had a shot, so you'll excuse me if I don't take your hairshirt doomsday predictions seriously. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost bew hew hew BEW HEW HEW npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Welcome to the show. Try not to blink, or you will miss it. #nevent1q…ztgq npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Technically, all deterministic Bitcoin wallets start with seeds. BitKey seeds are created on three separate pieces of hardware (BitKey device, the phone app's host device, and AWS Nitro). There are no seed phrases -- recovery is achieved through contacts that you can set up and encrypted emergency backup files. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost This is just their first effort. They're gonna force the competition to think harder instead just imposing seed phrases on us out of intellectual laziness. Square gonna big brain us into a seed-phrase-less future npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I refuse to buy a product that looks like robot cock. #nevent1q…lr4f npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost You've just hit on the load-bearing concept. It's very real and here's why it matters... npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Bitcoiners: You need to be accepting payments and preferably in the most self-sovereign way possible! Also bitcoiners: Use my Bitcoin? Buy things with it? Support those who went the extra mile! Don't tell me what to do! npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost "Glow" is an interesting choice of words npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Its also mode hardcore than most maxis. ✅ Self-custody ✅ Multisignature ✅ Multi-vendor seed gen npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Noice. I have the aluminum Analogue Pocket https://npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5.blossom.band/78ad01d07d11317cca0214c425509fa1945eaee9b5b3a7e69c78995024a29540.jpg npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Is this FPGA or an emulation machine? npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Two years from now, we are going to forget half of the bonkers stuff that went on in this bear market. We are gonna sit around and try to reconstruct the timeline and have to do shots with each other just to deal with the PTSD. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost That could have easily turned into a relapse npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Turning Bitcoin into a lifestyle accessory shopping experience was a fucking mistake. #nevent1q…2rkn npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Mine has had a complete personality shift since hitting like 17 or 18 (we only have a rough idea how old). She's dealing with a lot (arthritis, sundown syndrome, probably hallucinations) and doesnt really have time or patience for anyone's bullshit. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost The interview he did with Shriver kind of revealed her to be less of a libertarian hardliner and more of a curmudgeonly independent thinker with some small ideological overlap with "Bitcoin at Large". Of course, it makes Odell actually do some real intellectual work and look like an ideologue asking a smart person to play tic-tac-toe instead of chess npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Do you mean the people who made it through the self-custody IQ filter? Good God, if this is what it takes, broad Bitcoin adoption (as bitcoiners imagine it) is never going to happen. Its going to be 8 billion custodied normies dictating how most of bitcoin's valuable properties should be regulated away. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost DAMN LADY npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I'm just gonna jump in here at the deepest part of the thread to say that all I was doing was referencing ancient internet humor to kvetch about my bitey, senile chihuahua. https://npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5.blossom.band/869669a74a594eac5561f52b70177435f1ffc10ee430eb0db835e619a7bb7cbf.jpg npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost YOU'RE WEIRD npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost The only person who embedded themselves just as hard into a niche internet culture is @nprofile…2szn. https://npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5.blossom.band/2cc321980fe032b5cd2b4214126425917e1b0c0a8b7b8643248becdbb0693a23.gif npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Facts: 1. Chihuahuas are mammals. 2. Chihuahuas bite ALL the time 3. The purpose of a chihuahua is to flip out and bite people. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Bitcoin is bigger than your fears of what will happen to it. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost No. We have enough UX to get people up and running. It's called getting our heads out of our ass, our ass out of our moms' basements, and actually using and normalizing Bitcoin, without layering on all the philosophizing and bullshitting that we do. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I think this is just dreamboarding that one day, people will start thinking and acting like you. It's a thing bitcoiners do, and I think it's unrealistic. The world turns out fiercely independent intellectual dorks at an incredibly slow rate, and I don't see a reason the trend would reverse. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Conclusion: How bitcoiners think and manage their money is actually the opposite of what normal people want to do. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Meh. I don't think we like money -- we endure it to get the stuff we actually want. The history of money is finding more convenient ways to use and manage it, so we can think about it as little as possible. Better money, to normal people is money they don't have to think about. Bitcoin self-custody is actually an intellectual exercise for nerdy libertarians who never met a money topic they didn't want to sperg out on. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Okay, it's a stretch, however the Block Clock, for many people, is a price ticker. Maybe they just chose one of the rare Satoshi quotes in which he talked about the potential value of Bitcoin? npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Where am I wrong: 1. At some point, in a Bitcoin success scenario, Bitcoin will be owned as a normal thing by normal people 2. Normal people do not play with board game accessories and study for like 100 hours in order to safely store their money 3. Normal people will not store Bitcoin the way that early adopter psychopaths do 4. Constantly focusing on what works for nerds who lead rich, internal, intellectual lives and bullying each other to do things "the right way" just turns off normal people, and makes us part of the problem rather than the solution. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Do you think normal people will ever self-custody this way? Bitcoin is a fun hobby for those of us who lead rich, internal, intellectual LARPs, but at some point, it's gonna escape the lab, get into regular people's hands, and it's totally out of our control what personal custody looks like at that point. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Curious what ypu mean by this? Do you mean that the only way our unworkable, fruity ideas could dominate was by punishing any heterodox thought away? npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I cannot wait for us to stop being scared and depressed and start getting mad. The fucking software is the only thing that matters, and we, along with the software, need to start getting hard. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Do not recommend as a prison wallet npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost What's. The. Link. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Yeah. Didn't this thing have some feature where it could read OpenDimes? npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Holy shit https://npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5.blossom.band/42b504eb7820098ffe2a153e4e5c570482a4c6ccfca3bb2d0aadaf65d5cea029.jpg #nevent1q…65j4 npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Maximalist tribalism trained us to be affinity grifted. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Fuck this shit.

I want to make normal frens and show them how to be rich. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Linux needs more bikinis. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Its true npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I don't run into a lot of normative American grown ups that absolutely must make a Bitcoin transaction at any given time. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost What does self-custody have to do with that? I can enjoy those same benefits of Bitcoin with a trusted custodian. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Okay how about ypu finish this sentence with less than 5 words: My wife caught me rolling dice in the basement. I explained that I was setting up self-custody Bitcoin. When she asked me why I was doing that, I simply said "____________ _________ ____________ ______________ ____________ ____________." npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Bitcoin "culture" doesnt exist. It's all just warmed over, screechy anarcho-libertarian failed talking points that shout over the grown-ups. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost None of this is material or practical npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost So they'll save time by self-custodying? What about all the learning required to do it correctly? npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Sounds immaterial.

Found a some seriosuly retarded, Bitcoin Ideology podcasts. A lot of cope. A lot of invocations of the word "community". Talking about Bitcoin like a "fight" or a "revolution" -- generally an extension of the host's personal anarcho-LARPatarian radicalization. Sometimes I wonder if the people who wander in to this space to make a little money really know how fucking crazy some of these muppets are. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost There is so much that has to be undone. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Yeah that's the problem. They're all fucking autistic libertarians who have some sort of blindness to sociopathy, narcissism, etc... npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost No, I don't want to do a presentation on self-custody right now. I do want to do a presentation on dangerous personalities and social psychology. Bitcoiners need a primer on that more than they need to learn about dice and passphrases. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost MOM REMBER THAT TIME YOU CAUGHT ME IN THE BASEMENT ROLLING DICE IN MY CUB SCOUT TENT AND YOU ASKED ME IF I WAS TOUCHING MYSELF AND I WAS ALL LIKE MOOOOOOM WELL GUESS WHO ISNT COMPLETELY REKT TODAY npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost And away from bitcoiners to whom ypu recommended the ColdCard. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Shooting them is good for your mental health. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I'd schedule a meetup where we can shoot each others' Cold Cards, but I'm not sure if I want to walk into a space with armed bitcoiners I taught to use a ColdCard. 😬 npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Maximalism and its tendency to create affinity with total cunts and their broken caalculators was a mistake. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Engineering and QA efforts aren't spread thin across hundreds of poopcoins. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost 🫗 #nevent1q…rea5 npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost If you transact in a sufficiently important amount of Bitcoin (on-chain), you lock in and quadruple-check the transaction before you hit send. And then you immediately go to a block explorer website to see what the status of the transaction is, so you know nothing went wrong -- nothing ever does go wrong, if you set up the transaction correctly but your monkey brain stresses out regardless. A person who is stealing funds is doing this. He's checking a block explorer website, with a paid account, so his IP address and any other activity he's done on that website are probably logged. This is because he's probably just a paid programmer in Ukraine who doesnt run his own node -- he's had an LLM help him construct the program that steals the funds, but he doesn't understand that his activity on a website now could land him in prison. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I'm just saying the drama is at 11 today. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost This day just keeps delivering the goods. #nevent1q…8j9k npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Single seed generated offline from good entropy (like dice rolls) is still a viable defense against offline signing device vulneraabilities. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost The year is 2026. You are now allergic to your carnivore diet, thanks to genetically modified ticks. Your ColdCard is a potato. Bitcoin doesnt fix everything. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Conflating ColdCard failure as some sort of BIP-110 correctness signal is cringe and desperate. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Not gonna lie, looking forward to the going-out-of-business sale on Block Clocks. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Watch carefully for influencers that carry water for NVK. This is a great opportunity to catch venal douchenozzles in the act of toxic influencing. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Righteous self-own. 10/10. #nevent1q…f73x npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Did they publish an audit? npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Even if NVK said they had an audit, I'd consider his word worthless. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Thanks not interested
