Looks like someone on Microsoft’s advertising team is a bitcoiner

You told me to sell my chairs and buy the dip. Am I doing this right?

Spotted in #NYC

Hope the homies here are doing well 🤙

Make that 4,001. I apologize for my absence lately; life has thrown a few curveballs my way so I’m learning to bob and alice. I mean bob and weave.

Legacy social media gained users in lock-step with the internet itself gaining adoption, right? People were figuring out how to get online, and then how to curate an internet persona, and things like facebook and Twitter were there to help people connect with friends and audiences for the first time. That’s the “zero to one” that got solved.

I’m confident that nostr solves many problems with the existing internet. But the question is whether there are throngs of people in search of these solutions. “The masses” don’t need to be happy with mass surveillance and deplatforming, they just need to feel less inconvenienced by those issues than they would feel by learning how to Nostr, in order to remain stuck in the old system.

Shower thoughts. Don’t know the answer. PV.

Wifey sent me this earlier today. Any “Bitcoin is a Trojan horse” meme lovers (as well as anyone who’s read Homer) should get a kick out of it 😆

GM PV your welcome

How it is (✈️💣💥)

how it should be (🤙🫂⚡️)

Patience, a Bitcoin haiku:

One man’s all time high Is another man’s wish that He stacked sats back then.

GM #coffeechain, hope you’ve all been good 🥂

Merry Christmas, happy holidays, pura vida — hope you’ve all been well ✨

Sup nostriches? It’s been a minute.

Is anyone in NYC tonight? I think I saw that our friend

is doing a book launch at

if I’m not mistaken.

Who’s going? I’m hoping to drop by before catching a late train back to MA.

Gorgeous morning 🌄

Happy Day

Great rip, as usual

FYI, there are 28 grams in a normal ounce, but #gold (and other precious metals) are measured in “Troy ounces” which contain just over 31 grams of metal.

A one-ounce gold coin is about 1.2-1.3 inches in diameter. So yeah, you could fit a bitcoin worth of gold in your pocket 🫡

Reminds me of the middle section of Be Here Now 🧘‍♂️🕉️

Question for

Passport users:

That replaceable, rechargeable battery… how long is its lifespan? A certain number of charges? Have any of you had to replace one before?

The paranoid bitcoiner in me would wonder if some aftermarket replacement battery could somehow compromise the device…

Started the day with stretching and pull ups. Listening to

and wondering about something…

Could Bitcoin support a feature similar to #Monero ’s full-chain-membership-proofs (to improve privacy on-chain) without significant sacrifices to its decentralization or security?

This is the future, holy fuck 🤯

Wow, I’m loving how Fountain just subtly introduced a “switch to video” option for any podcast that has a video version. Personally I listen far more than watch (on the subway, background at the office, walking in the city, etc.) but an option this seamless might get me to switch, at least when I’m stationary.

It’s amazing to see how ubiquitous podcasts have become. I remember when it was a niche, kind of nerdy alternative, somewhere between radio news and an audiobook (or, I’ll date myself, a book-on-tape). Now, anyone (and it seems like almost everyone) with access to modern tech can ingest information this way, ranging from education to entertainment. (The term “content consumption” fits the bill, but I’m feeling curmudgeonly and weary of business buzzwords this morning, lol).

Add to this, Nostr and the value-for-value exchange model, and you get a new (user-aligned) incentive model. And with AI, it’s a matter of time until every show can be translated into every language, if we’re not already there. Talk about free information. Speech is “freed” by this, in a way. Freed from geographic and linguistic restraints. This is good for humanity…

At least on principle…

Onward 🫡

Hey

team! I’ve been living under a rock the past few months and just getting up to speed with the new wallet config. Mine appears to still be connected via NWC to my node, but also seems like it’s waiting for me to set up something. Any advice? Seems my zaps don’t go through. Might just try resetting the connection. Stay tuned. #asknostr cc

Wifey was away this weekend, so I binge-watched Zero Day on Netflix.

The reference to bitcoin mining in episode 1 was fun. Robert De Niro and the rest of the cast were excellent.

Some bits of the narrative seemed a bit forced, but overall it was a very satisfying show.

Would recommend 🫡

Why would disabling “make public” (to peers) in Bitcoin Core cause electrs to crash? Getting this warning from

Shouldn’t it be possible to keep the node “private” but still get inbound data from peers? Or perhaps I don’t understand properly what I’m editing…

Got a new toy this week. I’m not usually a fan of carbon fiber handles on pocket knives, but these “lava flow” handle scales have really nice, grippy feel… and the action is soooo smooth: no assisted opening mechanism, but a light flick of the thumb is all it takes. Also, the battle-washed blade is sleek, no?

I must confess, I’ve re-started a small knife collection, after the blades I originally acquired in my adolescence got misplaced between moving, growing up, etc.)

I’ll share photos of some of the others this week, if I have a chance.

Since I should blame someone other than myself for this occasionally pricey hobby, I remember

‘s note last summer or fall, sharing a slick customized Leatherman.

Anyway, Ava, I must thank you for reigniting the collector’s spark for me 😉

Listen

Thank me later

Hi nostr…

Sorry that I’ve not been around much lately

Life’s been busy, and kind of rough

I still love you though, and I’ll be back. Promise 🥺🫂

Ya heard?

Oh yes and good morning

WeWork phone booths are decidedly not soundproofed, as evidenced by the shitcoiner loan product collaboration call I’m overhearing right now…

Yikes

How do most of you configure your

pool payouts?

Lightning via Bolt12?

Or an on-chain address that you manually update each time you hit the payout threshold (but before ocean finds its next block)?

Silent payments?

On that note… any plans to add silent payments to Sparrow,

?

Happy Saturday ✌️
