The stars

Since I was a child I have been fascinated by the universe, the fundamental force of the universe is gravity, gravity governs all processes at the cosmic level.

Have you ever wondered how a star works? It is fascinating, simple and elegant. A star is a self-sustaining thermonuclear reaction. To achieve the fusion of hydrogen-1 atoms a high temperature and pressure is needed, the gravity of the star itself increases the pressure in the nucleus which in turn increases the temperature and generates the fusion which also increases the temperature, and the star's own gravity prevents the atoms from escaping and the reaction starts again.

A star is a gravitationally confined, self-regulating nuclear fusion reactor.

Did you know that the elements of the periodic table are created in stars? Stellar nucleosynthesis is the process by which elements are created within stars by combining protons and neutrons from the nuclei of lighter elements. All atoms in the universe began as hydrogen. Fusion within stars transforms hydrogen into helium, heat and radiation. Heavier elements are created in different types of stars as they die or explode.

We are stardust.

Just closed a deal on selling a website.

Bought it only 4 months ago and earned 65% ROI.

Literally did no work to it, just sat on it patiently, collecting passive income, until the right buyer came along.

My stack continues to rise 😈😈😈

Do you tape over your webcam?

I understand that digital books is awesome… but I love to have them physical. 🤓📚

The big announcement!

I'm gonna be launching a shitcoin. All NOSTR users will get 10% of the total supply. I'm not going to keep any for myself not even a single coin to make it fair launch.

Get your metamasks and zaps ready. Details to follow.

I didn't realise it took so long to synchronise a bitcoin node...

With today it is already seven days since the start.

I saw a note that had over 1BTC zapped. Pretty sure it was fake. It was a long time ago. I'm not sure if I could find it. But even reading the zap spec I was thinking there seems to be plenty of room for fakery. Zaps were not necessarily meant to be a cryptographically secure record of a lightning tx, but some people perceive them to be just as reliable.

I know we love zaps but as far as I am aware zaps can be faked. If I am wrong please correct me. If I am correct, then I think people ought to be aware of this, because the passion and excitement for zaps leads people to think of new uses for zaps that presume zaps are trustworthy. If zaps can be faked, then things built with zaps must take this into consideration.

The reason I bring this up is not only for awareness but also because I do not think zaps are the end-all-be-all of value measurement online.

For example, proof of work cannot be faked and it is way less complicated than zaps — it can be entirely contained within a single event and no additional software is needed to make it work. Unlike throwing generational wealth at each other 37 sats at a time trying to take down custodial wallet providers, proof of work is an efficient and verifiable way. Instead of spending bitcoin, you can spend time and energy to create signal. It isn't really being used, but it could be.

I like zaps. I like proof of work. I've tried zaps. I'd like to try proof of work.

Just incentiving people to post more on hashtags I like
