How BTC loans can be dangerous. What to watch out for so you don't end up giving your Bitcoin to companies like Blackrock. I say that because ultimately, they are sucking up as much as they can. Their goal is to get your Bitcoin. How the loan companies use of multi sig is misleading. Not your keys not your coins. If you take out a loan, you are giving up self custody. You have to give up self custody to get a loan. no matter how you spin it. And if you do take out a loan, its probably best to buy IBIT, and borrow against your IBIT shares. The fees will be lower fees than the BTC loan companies out there. 8% to 15% loan fees is a bad deal for us plebs. Its predatory , unstainable and puts you in harms way.

an idea:
1. discuss at what point is it ok completely crowdsource talking points.
2. Segue into the outside possibility that we could do the talking too.

In short words : "Today mood is better because of BTC hard on :-)"
some project ?
It is very nice to have multiple clients, and app on nostr, but i've seen some post of lost people in all this clients and app.
Should it be possible to have link between app like you did on primal to create new articles with "Highlighter".
Many people like "easy" to use app, it would really be nice if app could link and work together for a functionality the current app don't have like a kind of "plugin".
Or a least a page of recommended app link like this one :
but where we can add comment / like to share our return on them.
Have a nice day.

I heard on No Agenda recently that some of the prospective AI hardware facilities were set up on remote locations - good for cheap compute to _train_ model, but not great for serving user requests. And that after deepseek cost of training down, so are abandoning remote compute, and BTC miners replacing.

how gambling culture and fiat $$ has turned wall street into children screaming on their playground
You could lay the landscape for how normal people can succesfully coinjoin today in a safe and secure manner. Im still at a loss. Is JAM safe enough? If so, how many mixes for various use cases?
Here is a list of recent topics that I've organized for the next bitdevs I'm hosting, maybe you can find inspiration there: https://github.com/guadalajara-bitdevs/BitDevsGDL.github.io/issues/34
Bitcoin as freedom money and how can we progress that narrative
INCENTIVES - SPECIFICALLY HOW BITCOIN INCENTIVES SHOULD BE DIFFERENT THAN FIAT INCENTIVES AND HOW SO MANY BITCOINERS HAVE FALLEN INTO THE FIAT TRAP OF OFFERING DISCOUNTS AS INCENTIVES INSTEAD OF OFFERING A SHARE IN THE FUTURE VALUE APPRECIATION OF THE BITCOIN THEY PAY TO OTHERS
I don't know but keep it 100 fam.

Since Bitcoin is deflationary what will happen to wages? Will they steadily go down?
yes
The Klarna white paper and how moving to a Klarna standard is the way.
I’m way late here but don’t care.
Different ways bitcoin exchanges are incentivizing users. Fold bitcoin buys go towards cash back limits. River has bitcoin paid on fiat balances. Strike has arguably most interoperability. No fee DCAs.
Each exchange is carving their own niche and winning customers in different ways. Super exciting times.
I am a little worry about security of the network and relay.
I've seen a user here with this npub : npub1wpu9dsevjs72ujpaxyznd2llvnu2hgpu2q5a697ugr8nt3kcm35qq0xyp8
He has created his account today, have been following about 1200 users and after unfollow quite all of them.
He had liked all my recent notes immediately after i post them.
And there is multiple "like" of him on my notes which should not be possible ?
One user can like multiple time one note ?
On some of my note he liked them 7 times (it is what primal display) ???
I am not complaining about this, we can expect this kind of bot-assisted account. A real man that write true note and reply, assisted with a bot that flood the network of follow/like or whatever.
But i really worry about bot attack against the relay and the network.
If a little bot can do so much flood, what could happen under thousands bots flood...
It is hard to know if there is a human behind a public key and not a bot or a AI. But i think it will be the real next challenge to avoid #nostr been under this kind of attack one day.
nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqtxwaehxw309anxjmr5v4ezumn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tmwwp6kyvtjw3k8zcmp8pervct409shwdtwx45rxmp4xseryerdx3ehy7f4v3axvet9xsmrjdnxw9jnsuekw9nh2ertwvmkg6n5veen7cnjdaskgcmpwd6r6arjw4jsqgq6lcx8fc7h0p8t4ya9u0a92jnwavqe9rgjwwdw3wjgxfuxsz8rd5mths8c nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqgdwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkcqpq8m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsmthtls
I hope one day they will be a AI that could watch the network to defend and mute this kind of account, but until that what could we do ?
Warning someone ? Who ? Where ? How ?
Keeping in mind that this flooding bot could also flood fake warning to make noise.
I really like when things stay simple and not mass used because they are place of real freedom.
But when it scale too huge, you have the bad people that come to fight it whatever reasons they have.
Sorry for this news, i just give you my concern without filter.
Have a nice journey all.
Can you explain me what is your problem, i am a developer i am testing on this account.
I don't have a problem with you personally.
I am just warning about security and flood concern.
You are just an example of what could happen in a huge attack of the network. And this is the point.
I am not bot attacking... I am just testing web 3.0 platform.
You, yes.
But a massive attack is possible.
As i said, you are a good example of what is possible :
- Follow huge quantity of user in short time
- like every new note posted
- like again and again the same note (no limit?)
You are alone doing your test, and it is fine.
Just imagine that with 1000 bots. It's a security concern.
You can mute one person (i didn't mute you finally), but you can't mute 1000 bots. You get my point ?
Thank you for having bringing light to this.
I have one question are you a developer or ???
What would it change ?
I am a #nostr user since few days, and i like this place more than i expected.
I just want to preserve it anyway i can.
You can continue your tests, as i ever said my aim was not to point you.
But just using your actions as an example of what could be done with a bad usage.
In a way your tests have perhaps help for futures improvements of this network.
Thank you again.
I just muted that guy😅
He don't seems to be a bad guy.
But it is an important point to focus on, for the security of this network.
It's like waves that prepare us to go higher to be safe when a tsunami come.
That's why i thanks him.
Just thought he is a bot.
no offense to anyone.
Hey dude, take a closer look, maybe!
This Jahid fella just followed me, then the fella instantly auto-liked a comment-note of mine, and got called out by this other btcttombola fella, who is also a little suspect, methinks.
Seems like it could be some weird social psyop where two fake bot accounts interact to make you think one of them is real, when in fact both are not.
Just spitballing here, but it seems plausible.
Muting both of them just in case :)
The inception-level psyop would be that this message is coming from a third bot, but it's not. You can trust me...
No, keep your guard up!
Yea will keep an eye on
Thanks 🙏🏿
I had miss this message. Thank you for your empathy. If i follow your mind, it is just because i have react to this "new user behavior" that i'm secretly him ?
It is an interesting way to think.
I am just a nostr user since few days, and i didn't act like this recent user do.
Just warn about it.
"Just spitballing here, but it seems plausible."
if you think it is plausible then this is too :
"The inception-level psyop would be that this message is coming from a third bot, but it's not. You can trust me..." => you are this new user real account ?
Anyway i will continue my way on nostr letting anyone else playing the flood of like or follow. And just mute, if any warning is forbidden because it is too suspicious.
If you are behind these 2 accounts you really are psyop...
