Second this. Pubky DX is actually already very good and will become a lot better this year. Had a blast working on https://eventky.app

How do we fix Nostr UX? Basically all clients are slow and buggy.

Wieder mal sehr spannend gewsen!

I'm slowly becoming very bullish on Pubky. Let's see how it will develop...

I just paid using Lightning at Spar in Switzerland.

I love how

is adding and tagging their meetups as NIP-52 events.

This means I can easily view them on meetstr like this:

IMHO an effort should be made to coordinate that nostr:nprofile1qqsxvns8pl39uakaema9fy5uphjzajkssyqfx5r7yn0yvgs828xm02spzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgy936vc,

, Btcmap.org

the Einundzwanzig Portal and other Platforms (please tag them) all have the same Kind 31924 Calendar (https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/52.md#calendar) set for the respective meetups/communities/cities.

🚀 My first PR into the Nostr nips repo just got merged! Excited to contribute to the protocol.

Haven't been home so far so I finally managed to go on my first rideout of the year!

I can conclude that conditions in Swiss forests are slippery, muddy and wet at the moment!

I decided to switch to NixOs 2 days ago. Apart from having a filesystem corruption that I am fixing right now, I've quite enjoyed it so far.

Who else is running NixOs here?

Every single time I come back to Switzerland and go through the Main station I just get an insanely depressed vibe by looking at people. No friendliness, no happyness, nothing.

I thought the nostalgia could hit after 8 months away, but this time seems even worse.

The west is turning into depressialand....

Just saw these Giraffes enjoying themselves today https://image.nostr.build/0d2ca667ae1f2a7c4c43245dcf1a422fdbeeb9610969ce4061c161974140e5c6.jpg

Rubber duck debugging is out of date. I use real ducks to help me debug my code. https://blossom.primal.net/71e546567a7ceef2412e2d05795c21264e7bdd8ac0553b7c93e125bb4c8fca4e.jpg

50 years later and it only got worse...

The Development Set by Ross Coggins "Adult Education and Development" September 1976

Excuse me, friends, I must catch my jet I'm off to join the Development Set; My bags are packed, and I've had all my shots I have traveller's checks and pills for the trots!

 The Development Set is bright and noble
 Our thoughts are deep and our vision global;
 Although we move with the better classes
 Our thoughts are always with the masses.

In Sheraton Hotels in scattered nations We damn multi-national corporations; injustice seems easy to protest In such seething hotbeds of social rest.

 We discuss malnutrition over steaks
 And plan hunger talks during coffee breaks.
 Whether Asian floods or African drought,
 We face each issue with open mouth.

We bring in consultants whose circumlocution Raises difficulties for every solution -- Thus guaranteeing continued good eating By showing the need for another meeting.

 The language of the Development Set
 Stretches the English alphabet;
 We use swell words like "epigenetic"
 "Micro", "macro", and "logarithmetic"

It pleasures us to be esoteric -- It's so intellectually atmospheric! And although establishments may be unmoved, Our vocabularies are much improved.

 When the talk gets deep and you're feeling numb,
 You can keep your shame to a minimum:
 To show that you, too, are intelligent
 Smugly ask, "Is it really development?"

Or say, "That's fine in practice, but don't you see: It doesn't work out in theory!" A few may find this incomprehensible, But most will admire you as deep and sensible.

 Development set homes are extremely chic,
 Full of carvings, curios, and draped with batik.
 Eye-level photographs subtly assure
 That your host is at home with the great and the poor.

Enough of these verses - on with the mission! Our task is as broad as the human condition! Just pray god the biblical promise is true: The poor ye shall always have with you.

This is Fanuel from Malawi. He grew up in a village around Mulanje Massif - the tallest Mountain in Malawi. He took me up to the peak for a challenging 3-day hike and even invited me to stay at his place on the day we got back down. We connected quite well and talked a lot about the issues that Malawi has and how their currency (Kwecha) is heading towards Hyperinflation right now. Next to being a guide he runs a small charity where he houses Kids, sends them to School and teaches them Carpentry.

We installed his first Lightning wallet together - Unfortunately he still needs some USD in his life and AFAIK it's not easy to do P2P trading here in Malawi so I did pay him in Fiat, but I was able to give him a tip in Bitcoin and he gratefully accepts Donations for helping his community. Send some love to him if you feel like it. [email protected] - https://8333.mobi/265999329808/static

There's a lot more he's fighting for that I find amazing. Malawi but especially Mulanje has a big deforestation-issue. The locals kill entire forests to collect firewood, without sustainably replanting the trees. Instead of trying to do something against it the Government is actively encouraging this and dosencouraging people from cooking with Gas as the Presidents son wants to turn the natural beauty of Mulanje into a toxic Mining operation - the only Mining operation in the region that I support is Gridless. There's a lot more I could add here but this will be it for today. I can recommend you Ian Fosters Substack if you're interested about the destructive effects of Fiat in Malawi (https://open.substack.com/pub/ianfost)

Found this beatiful Leopard in Kruger today!

I guess I am a paranoid Crypto Anarchist.

Fuck what Saylor and Fink tell you. Write Code and Stack sats.

GM from Istanbul.

Loving the local cuisine.

Prices are crazy though. A meal like this will cost you around 20$... https://image.nostr.build/7a2be52f2f9fd7bf00cc97248b4f0ac9ccfcc726290c2050f4c5ddb8dad91b21.jpg

Wait? Am I the weird one?

GM!

I just quit my job. From december onward I will be laser-eyed focused on open source development!

One focus will be to improve products around NIP-52. What other projects do you want to see?

Also what cheap countries should I go visit? Thinking about going to South America. Maybe start in Paraguay or Argentinia.

I just had a talk with a guy that studies at the HSG. One ot the most regarded swiss finance institutions. It is honestly hilarious how little they know about the princilples of economics.

It is by far easier to talk about Bitcoin with a socialist than it is with a finance or economics major that has no real experience.

Out with some friends and managed to drag them into a Bitcoin Bar. That is what you call success!

I feel like The Bitcoin Association Switzerland will soon have a great orange glow-up!

I met

today.

In person he's exactly as I know him from watching and reading his content. He gives you long answers with eloquent wording and profound arguments, but he will always stick to his believes and not accept differing opinions.

He will also definititely not hesitate to tell people to try to only eat meat for a month - Some might even say he is a shill for Burger King ;)

It was very interesting to have a talk with the person that helped me understand how Bitcoin solves the broken Fiat-System and made me a laser-eyed toxic bitcoin maxi and get my own signed copy of the bitcoin standard.

I'm trying to understand how Silent Payments work. It fucks with my mind.
