Last Notes npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 I bought Bitcoin in 2026, I won't need to make money in 20 years. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 For anyone on Linux who wants a good desktop #bitcoin #lightning wallet and has been frustrated that there were one, electrum just got an upgrade that makes lightning work way better than before. It was literally unusable before due to routing failures, now it at least works. Still crazy that it's the only viable option for desktop users. Though if you can run waydroid and run Zeus in it, that's still your best bet. #zeus #waydroid npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Just wanted to report a bug, I'm on this version from play store. Idk if this was happening before but I just noticed this week. I don't see any transactions since Feb 28 in the activity window, though I know I've sent a couple thousand sats in a couple different transactions. I wonder if I've hit some kind of limit because I've been using this wallet for 1+ year w at least one zap a day. So there's a lot of history. Lightning channel balances seem correct, just seems to be an issue with the tx list. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Thank you! npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Opencode npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Suggestions for online service providers where I can rent a desktop VM to play around with openclaude opencode pycharm etc?

It's not right or wrong, it just is. But why is it this way? - The world has a liberal bias. There are way more people on team blue than team red, because urban areas tend to be liberal and most people live in urban areas. This means the bulk of written material in existence online will have a liberal bend to it. AI is not intelligent yet, it just gives you the most likely result. If 90% of your sources are liberal, 90% of your output will be too. - LLMs were largely trained on data from reddit, which has taken a strong turn to the left over the past few years. Social media platforms in general are mostly owned by liberal leaning people and companies with some notable opposite exceptions (x and truth social). Just something to be aware of. How to correct for this bias? - ask for it to provide alternative viewpoints - seek out different LLMs with different bias setpoints. Just like media consumption, look at stories from different news sources and you'll find the truth is often somewhere in the middle. - run your own LLMs and train them on your own datasets. This becoming more of a feasible reality every day. #ai #chatgpt #grok npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 I like iris.to npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Nostr is not designed for storing big blobs of data, but relaying small text notes. Big blob storage is expensive, there is no good sustainable funding model for this aside from subscriptions to relays. One alternative is to make users store and relay the blobs. This is what freenet does in a decentralized, private way, and it does it well. I'm very glad to see nostr leveraging existing tech instead of reinventing the wheel. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 🤦Here's one of the stupidest rituals I have ever participated in: A few years ago, I joined a progressive political organization, the details don't matter but let's just say that the stereotype of your average progresssive/liberal would have fit very comfortably in this environment. This was an online only group, we communicated only via text. This was a place where all participants could be freed of the oppressive bias of patriarchy, sexism, racism, and ableism. Here, behind text-only monikers, each of us could be judged, as Dr Martin Luther King said, by the "content of our character" or the quality of our work. 🤔 Surely, the DEI crowd, the avowed anti-racists, the people with diversity flags in their usernames, the people who had steeped themselves in knowledge about how to combat bias and discrimination would relish this environment. Except they did not. Instead, on day one, they insisted that all of us include our pronouns in our online nicknames and let everybody know what oppressed groups we belonged to. Because as always with these people, it isn't about equality, it's about deciding which in-group we're going to put on top this time. It's about weaponizing the language of bias against everybody else. It was absolutely ludicrous. 🧠 There is undoubtedly value in understanding the world from other people's perspectives and being aware of how implicit biases in ourselves and the systems we navigate impact other people. There is nothing more human than doing the same thing and having totally different subjective experiences, and then sharing these experiences with others. But that's not what this was. 🎯 Until the "left" expels this kind of thinking from their circles, they will continue to lose elections and the faith of moderate, reasonable people. Anybody who is truly dedicated to a more egalitarian future, to a world where one's skin color or gender shouldn't impact your access to opportunity, needs to be extremely cautious of thinking where we treat people differently based on these aspects of their identity. Many political commentators have suggested that disgust with this kind of rhetoric is part of why Trump won the last election, and I think there's absolutely some truth to that. ⚠️ Competitive victimhood is a mental illness. And it is driving people away from otherwise good ideas held by progressives. We need to do better. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Nice npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Shopstr npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Q: How come I never see you at the bar?

Young people need our help, they are staring down a terrifying, unstable economic future. I cannot imagine the despair they must feel looking forward. And that's before we even get into how AI is decimating the job market and doubling in capability every 6-12 months. 🥳 But there's still one place that is ABUNDANT with opportunity, meaning, and paths forward: Bitcoin. Here's the TOP THREE reasons to work in Bitcoin and how to get started. 1️⃣ There is a TON of low hanging fruit in many areas: programming/development, UX/UI, media creation/eduction, implementation/consulting, etc. At least once a month I come across a idea that could be a big money maker, but nobody has taken it up because there is more opportunity than talent in the space. And that's something pretty crazy to say, given that the existing talent has built a 2 trillion dollar market. If Bitcoin was a country, it would be in the top 15 by GDP. And it got there in 16 years. 2️⃣This opportunity is across all scales from freelancer devs making their own products or chasing bug bounties to W-2 employment to seeking seed funding for multi-million dollar companies. This is a market that has been growing for 15 years and shows no signs of slowing down. 3️⃣This market DOES NOT CARE about your background. You do not need any kind of formal education. If you have trouble in the traditional job seeking environment, whatever barriers you face are practically non-existent in the Bitcoin space. The only thing people care about is signal and output. You've been to prison? You face discrimination based on your color, gender, nationality, etc? Bitcoin DGAF, only what you build does. Many of the best talents in the Bitcoin space work entirely anonymously, we don't even know their gender, nationality, etc. ⚠️"Crypto" gets a bad rap, and it should, but you should understand that there is a wide gulf of difference between people in "crypto" and people in Bitcoin. People in crypto are chasing quick money and making rug pulls, the pit is full entirely of snakes. The snakes don't go to Bitcoin, because the Bitcoin space is about the long-term growth of a public utility, and because no single person or company controls it, there is no way to leverage a privileged position to get rich quick. So the snakes generally avoid it. 😍 People in Bitcoin are genuinely enthusiastic about making a better future for humanity, and I know because I work with them every day. It is one of the few places I go where I am consistently humbled by the intelligence, optimism, grace, and character of the people around me. That kind of energy is contagious and exactly what young people need to stay on the right path and plot a valuable future. 🤔So how do you get started working in Bitcoin? - Educate yourself on the basics of Bitcoin and Nostr first. This will get you prepared to identify opportunities. Get an account on nostr, follow Bitcoin influencers like Odell, Jack Mallers, etc. - Bitcoin has multiple conventions every year, so does Nostr. And everything is online, free for you to watch. Check out Bitcoin Las Vegas and Bitcoin Prague. You will see what pain points people have with the technology, this is where your opportunity is. - Attend Bitcoin meetups, go to events and get into online spaces where people are talking about the tech. Skip anything related to investment, find those who are genuinely building. They are enthusiastic to teach you and get you involved. If you show up in these spaces with curiosity and enthusiasm, you WILL find opportunity. I know because I see it and have to pass on it every day because my schedule is already full.

Because the demand isn't that the people in the epstein files be prosecuted, we know that has zero chance of happening, the demand is simply that the files be released. That's how little faith people have in government, they'd rather just let social media, a notoriously poor system for determining truth, decide what happened and appropriately punish these people. Yet outside of this context, ask people what you think government *should* do, and you'll hear that they should fund and have a monopoly on healthcare, look after us, and fight crime. That same government? Really? Get your consistency in check bro.

No bank, no centralized platform, no politicians deciding how much they can receive or how they can spend it. 🗽 💛 💙 Shortly after, Russia invaded Ukraine, and Ukraine becomes the first country to crowdfund a war with Bitcoin. When banks abandoned service in Ukraine due to "risk" and "liquidity issues", Bitcoin was there for Ukraine. To date they have received $51M worth of Bitcoin, receiving over ten whole BTC in the past six months alone 😲. No middlemen, no NGO taking a cut, no international wire fees and delays, no "explain why you're sending money to Ukraine or we won't let the transaction through", just money going exactly where it needs to go with no interruptions. Bitcoin is freedom money, it will be there for you when you need it.

Media companies answer to their advertisers, not to you. Advertisers are the customer, you are the product 2. Media companies don't produce content which offends the advertisers or their target demographic 3. Advertisers want to sell you stuff and if you stop watching because you get offended or aren't engaged, you won't buy the stuff 4. This leads to an inevitable bias in the content they produce towards the people who buy the stuff. 5. The question is: who buys the most stuff, and would therefore have a bias in their favor? 6. The answer: women. Women make 70-80% of consumer purchasing decisions 7. Media is biased in favor of women If you're wondering why so many headlines don't survive the "gender swap test", or why men are maligned in broad strokes in ways you aren't allowed to do to other groups? This is one major underlying reason. #media #bias #feminism #gender npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Tldr using cashu and nostr.

Not this wanton, reckless surge we have seen under Trump. The video evidence continues to mount that this surge in ICE staffing is compromised of people who are poorly trained and probably wouldn't even qualify for the position in any other administration. When you surge a massive amount of poorly trained officers into high stress situations and arm them to the teeth, tragedy is the inevitable result. Renee Good is a perfect example of that, the officer in question, who may have had some good reason to fear she was trying to run him over, he should never have placed himself in front of the vehicle. There were about 5 or 6 MAJOR no-nos in that interaction that no trained officer would have done. And now an American citizen is dead. With the Alex Pretti case, we have the admin trying to spin a story that is so blatantly false, anyone who saw the video knows that guy wasn't representing a lethal threat to those officers, he didn't brandish, etc. If someone got here, especially years ago, and hasn't been causing problems, I see no reason they shouldn't be allowed to share in the American story and be on the path to citizenship. Let them contribute to GDP. Under Trump admins own numbers, the majority of the increase of deportations hasn't been of people accused of crimes (except the crime of violating immigration laws). Our broken immigration has bipartisan causes. We've got people whove been here for decades, have kids, have a driver's license, have insurance, pay taxes, etc. We should just grant those people permanent status of some kind so ICE can focus on the people who are actually causing problems. But trump wants a line go up graph to show how well he's enforcing immigration law. And it's easier to make the line go up with a big net than a net that only targets the worst of the worst. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 #nevent1q…qq2c npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 What are the current system requirements in terms of disk storage for a #Bitcoin pruned node, pruned to the maximum extent possible?

You will never successfully challenge power using the infrastructure controlled by that same power. 🔇If they don't want you to hear about it, they can ask social media companies to scrub content, they have a long history of doing this, Zuckerberg testified to Congress about it. And Trump's acolytes now own TikTok. The danger is not mere censorship, but the ability to control even our perception of reality: what is true, what other people think, and your place in the world. 🙅If they want to make it difficult to receive funds for legal support etc, they have ways. They control the banks and our normal payment methods: ask anybody involved in the trucker protests what happened to their legal defense funds. Look into Biden admin's operation choke point to debank conservative activists and gun stores. Debanking is a real risk for people involved in dissent. 🙏But there are ways around it, thanks to a community of dedicated programmers who believe in free speech and communication.

I've been watching the comments section of MAGA politicians and influencers. Their customers ain't buying the bullshit they're peddling. The party line isn't working. They saw the video, they know what they saw: a senseless murder of someone trying to film the police and exercise his constitutional rights. My MAGA peers IRL are on the same page. National gun ownership groups are clapping back in their statements too. Turns out, if your justification for killing someone is merely that they had a gun, the gun lobby might take some kind of offense to that. On the other side of the coin, I see my liberal friends coming around on the second amendment. Turns out when you have a tyrannical government insisting they can enter your house without a warrant, pulling people over and brutalizing them for no reason, and telling you that any resistance will result in more beatings or worse and that they should have "total immunity".. The purpose and need for the second amendment becomes crystal clear. The founding fathers may have been some hot shot lawyers, but they had an impeccable understanding of human behavior, incentive structures, and the mechanics of power. Haven't seen America this united since the first two weeks of COVID. Freedom dies in darkness and partisanship, and yet when I look around, I see people putting aside their differences to stand up for it. Freedom has no alternative Our rights over partisan concerns Liberty over everything God bless America. God protect the streets. Public servants serve at our leisure, the consent of the governed is revocable. Glad to see the government getting reminded who really runs shit. Big love to you all, stay safe out there #alexpetti #ice #politics #freedom #minnesota #immigration #maga #2A npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Bitcoin is saving lives today by fighting a winter storm. Let me explain Apparently the snowpocalypse has knocked about 30% of the global Bitcoin hashrate (miners) offline. Pretty crazy to watch it in real time, and good to know the US is a leader in this space. One of the benefits of having Bitcoin miners on your grid is that they soak up un-used electricity, which means 100% efficiency on the generation end. Miners don't "compete" with normal electricity users, as they can only afford to buy the cheapest electricity (which is produced as excess during times of low demand). Miners help increase the size of grid capacity by ensuring no generated electricity is a loss for the power company, allowing for greater amounts of generation. Yet mining can also be turned off instantly in emergencies, ensuring that even in peak demand like a snow storm, there is enough capacity for everyone. And because miners were there before, the total capacity is larger than if they never existed in the first place. Because of Bitcoin, people can keep their heat on in a deadly storm. Systems like energy generation, sewage, and traffic are generally designed to meet the expected peak demand over a certain time period (100 year flood etc). You don't size for infinite capacity because capacity costs money to keep online. While that 100 year metric works 99% of the time, it also means that once you hit that 100 year event, the system will be overburdened and fail. But Bitcoin mining fundamentally changes this calculus and allows you to scale beyond the normal limits. Cool to see how resilient this network is. 30% of hashrate can drop offline and coins will keep being issued and transferred just as scheduled. Imagine what would happen if 30% of the US banking system went offline. International finance would break. #bitcoin #snowpocalypse #texas #storm #mining https://image.nostr.build/682b4b81327357e831b210e37eb6c5bd5511de78c6df16e42e6e592c0813e699.jpg npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Keepass, local only, can live in a synced folder, oss, autotype, cross platform, long history bitwarden for sso environments.

Bitcoin has made me more content more often because it provides me purpose, not purpose as in "accumulate as much BTC as possible" but that it provides me something to orient my life around, a purpose. For some, that is their identity, their job identity, their family, their partner, etc. For me, it's building Bitcoin infra and spreading the gospel of our Lord and Savior Satoshi Nakomoto 🫡 npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Haha that's such a great one.

But if there isn't already, there should be a protocol level solution to this. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Not Gen z, but Gen z isn't having sex because of a number of factors that aren't really in their control: lack of third spaces, lack of social skills from covid/phones, more interactions mediated electronically (tinder, insta, etc). If you aren't in the top 15% of men, you literally do not exist on dating apps, the research on this is brutal, and it's not exactly a great environment for the women either because they're all competing over a small pool of men who have limitless options and usually have no interest in anything approaching a real relationship. There's also an increasing wage gap w men vs women. Bad economy has a polarizing effect on the dating environment bc women care about the financial status of their mates. And in some states in the US, limited access to abortion is a factor as well. 60% of women 18-25 are "in a relationship", 60% of men in that age bracket are not in and not seeking any kind of intimacy, relationship, or sex. That stat tells you everything you need to know. I agree with your advice, just adding context. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Yes, some of them have been around for many years, though they are still not in widespread use. Some protocols have been upgraded to use them. Encryption protocols are not something you swap out lightly, it can take many years for relatively obvious flaws to be discovered. Basically whenever we want to upgrade things to post quantum encryption, we can, we have some stable stuff that's seen real use for years. Look into the NIST encryption algorithm competitions as a starting place. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 That language comes from a side of the US political spectrum that is tripping over itself trying to be offended and play competitive victimhood games. They care more about what words people use than actuallt finding functional solutions to homelessness. My advice is to ignore them. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 1. Women factor in their matches appearance of wealth pretty significantly into how "attractive" they appear, it's been studied to death and true even if politically incorrect. 2. The key problem that sucks for both men and women on dating apps is that only the top 15% of men get any matches. It sucks for the men for obvious reasons, and it sucks for the women because they just get used and disposed of by the same guys over and over again. Fix that problem and you'll have an app people want to use. That and you will have many, many more male users and attracting women to your platform will always be hard. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 I can flip pretty much any object in my hand successfully on the first try and consistently. Every time I put my phone away, I flip it, every time I pick up a bowl, I flip it, everything getting flipped all the time. I picked it one day as a dumb skill I could acquire and now I can flip anything. Over the years flipping multiple objects a day, I must be in the tens of thousands of flips. It's a useless skill and nobody is impressed but i enjoy it. Except plates and I try to stay away from knives but ngl sometimes I break that rule but very carefully.

Larger pools find blocks more often, more blocks means more earnings. More predictable and also just plain more. More well established pools can also engage in miner-extracted value. Some new protocols are helping with it, Bitcoin magazine has some good articles on it. Ocean is a good example, there's also new mining hardware like bitaxe which opens the playing field to smaller players. Also remember pools do not actually control the hash power, the second they act up, miners can switch asap to other pools, this has happened in the past. What's more important is decentralizion of miners themselves which increases with time as miners in new countries are bring brought online. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Your dad's advice is solid though imo.
