Here's an opportunity for us to begin to bridge Plebian virtual markets with no-coiner real world pop-up markets and concerts.
Given some interest from my fellow Nostriches worldwide I will work with these musicians to plug directly into their soundboard to broadcast this show to a Nostr Nest and potentially to a Zap.stream too.
Any Zaps sent to these live feeds I'll distribute as cash tips to the musicians physical tip jar. I'll also work with those willing to learn ahead of time and set them up with Nostr accounts, LN Addresses, and QR codes to receive tips to directly as LN sats.
nostr:npub14kw5ygpl6fyqagh9cnrytyaqyacg46lzkq42vz7hk8txdk49kzxs04j7y0 might you want to assist in this?
nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 perhaps you'd be interested in promoting this live-stream from the Live Music Capital of the World.
It seems a shame for only the few locals here in Austin, TX to get to enjoy the massive musical talents this town holds. I believe that bringing LN bitcoin into the music scene here is one of our best tactics for getting control of some sats onto the signing devices of talented Creators who must earn and cannot afford to buy their satoshis. They will then be incentivized to share this tech with their fans and their peers. Giving Bitcoin yet another Trojan Horse into the "impenetrable fortress" the fiat rulers have built to protect their privilege to print counterfeit money.

You just described my morning perfectly.
So, hello, GM, and Aloha to you too!
Now, if only, Cafe` Bitcoin, on the App formerly known as Twitter, was available on Nostrnests too... I wouldn't be tempted to use that platform at all.
What you refer to as Truth Oracles I see as a form of Notarization Service. An interesting point regarding the law in the US at least, is that an Affidavit signed by two Witnesses testifying that we are who we say we are and that we signed a document in theory presence has the same legal standing as if it had been Witnessed by a State licensed Notary.
This seems a perhaps relevant precedent to model for the CivKit ID service. The security protocols from the Paper realm won't entirely translate to the Digital centralized and Virtual decentralized realms, but some protocols are worth considering and perhaps modifying as appropriate for each phase state of our data.
My spiritual kin call me OV, you are obviously a Brother-in-Arms, more Kindred in spirit than any of my actual blood relations... So please, address me in more familiar terms.
This is one of the major problems of the world, so yes, I AM interested in brainstorming solutions for solving this. I have many ideas on how to combine both legacy and modern means of accomplishing this, as a starting place. But these ideas need fleshing out in detail and tested in practice.
My current calling to contribute value to the realm has been to work on a multi-phase state solution. One that like water takes form as a physical solid as a Nostr ID/LN wallet NFC bearer instrument, a paper Private Membership Associations' contract, a digital browser wallet through LN Bits, and cloud verification of identity through Nostr social verification.
The reality in EVERY realm is that He Who Creates It, Controls it. So, in order to control our identities, we must create our own verification systems. For our keys, our transactions, our data, our audience, AND our identities.
This looks very promising nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft.
Something like this would need to be deployed with a fully functional key rotation system. If somesite.com gets owned we are in a world of pain.
But overall, I think you might be onto something big here for the normie onboarding use case. Of course the advanced option where people hold their keys directly always needs to be present.
Perhaps there is a way to decentralized from anysite dot com to this site dot com?
Enabling semi-trusted brands to compete for users of their domain, provide value to users who do, and enable self-hosting Nip 05s easily for those that the many that already have domains.
My problem is that by letting myself become fully undocumented by choice, I have effectively been barricaded behind enemy lines. Without a physical mailing address or a state issued ID I am having issues renewing my passport. Remedying this lack of "Papers" is not a simple or quick operation these days. But I AM going to take this opportunity to create paperwork strengthening my standing as a free man who is NOT a resident of the District of Columbia. Acquiring a US State National passport rather than as US Citizenship passport.
So much of law depends on establishing personal and subject matter "standing". Establishing who we are and where we stand is how humans take back power from the Naked Emperors. Part of that involves not using the "coin of the realm" used by the corporate states by using Bitcoin as our standard for measuring value or the communication lines of centralized media by using Nostr. BUT part of defending ourselves against Paper Dragons involves putting on Paper Armor, both personally and professionally.
The very best bio-char comes out of hemp, so we simply grow the bio-mass on site in greenhouses using the fastest growing form of bio-mass on earth. The outputs of this become biodiesel or electricity and bio-char to increase outputs in ALL our gardens. Part of what makes hemp superior also is the the bio-char produced from it can also be used to manufacture graphene, creating yet another locally sourced, organically grown building material. Beyond what can be done with the hemp fibers for manufacturing everything from cars, planes, and houses with it as the sourced building materials too.
So are you gonna make it to El Salvador next Springvfor the Halving Party?
That's the next conference I'm most looking forward to, although what's going on in Madeira in January/February looks interesting. That doesn't count as the global South.
I am curious as to what you think of India adopting Bitcoin..?
They're not at all part of the "West" and Balaji's suggestion that they may surprise the world and leapfrog themselves to world leadership by adopting Bitcoin soon.
The guy is Tennessee, that does NOT have a year round growth cycle, is growing all the bio-mass needed to generate 500Kw of continuous power off of 3 acres of cane grass. Any form of wood chips works for this, with the only waste product being bio-char that can be put back into the soil to further improve the soil fertility.
Wind, bio diesel (likely run off fish oils), and wood gasification (on-demand hydrogen as with http://www.protonpower.com/technology ) will also eventually have a place in this tool stack.
Waste management cycles on a Seastead
Seasteaders will be, by necessity, pioneers in the recycling space. You can't just throw everything overboard when you're done with it, and we'll need lots of raw materials to make stuff out of. Below are the major recycling efforts we'll need to incorporate in our quest for sustainable deep-water living.
Liquid waste -
Luxury yachts and cruise lines have long had to deal with the problem of liquid waste management, splitting the job into 3 subsystems. They typically set out with a full tank of fresh water, and empty tanks that are nearly as large for "grey water" and "black water" as well.
Some types of water usage, such as kitchen faucets, turns into grey water, and that goes to fill up or flush toilets, which then goes to black water. Ultimately, the black water is flushed in the deep sea and we let nature scrub it back into clean water again over millennia.
For more on that subject, check out the Seasteading Institute's "Where does the poop go" FAQ video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gd2FCpU5wu8
This is established technology & wouldn't change much on a seastead, but we have other waste to consider than just what goes through our pipes.
Solid wastes -
All of our trash, down to every last banana peel, scrap of metal & plastic bottlecap, it all needs to be accounted for out in the deep because there is no junkyard. For decades seasteaders have been looking for an acceptable solution to deepsea trash recycling but it seems hopeless when we consider how bad the problem with trash & recycling is even on land today. Basically, just 9% of all the plastics you throw into a recycling big can be recycled at all!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-quksK76Rw
Plastic waste -
Thankfully, a couple of very interesting new developments are in testing these days. Chemically they do work, but the only question is if they are going to be practical to use at scale.
The first has already been highlighted in this short video by the seasteading institute: Recycle waste plastics into building materials for seasteaders:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t02KFwHDeKs
There is much promise here for creating a concrete replacement, because the process isn't as energy intensive as a recycling plant typically is.
The second new development is even more useful; convert waste plastics into a hydrocarbon biofuel! Aduro Clean is one publicly-traded company that claims it can do exactly that: https://adurocleantech.com
If this process is perfected then such biofuel would naturally become a major source of energy generation on most seasteads.
However, now that 3D printers are common, I personally feel that the technology which most quickly takes us from an empty coke bottle to a printer filament spool will be the one we most need to pursue. Making biofuel out of our waste plastic wouldn't be an unwelcome use case, but creating just about every physical object we need would surely trump that usage by far.
Organic waste -
Most biological waste like banana peels, eggshells, paper & coffee grinds will have no trouble finding a home in compost bins, which then, with the help of a few worms, become soil for seasteaders to use in gardening. Naturally a lot of our solid waste from toilets can go in here too, but no one is going to want to live nearby that compost center! An air-tight system for composting stinky trash would be a great advancement we could make for a seastead.
Metal waste -
Finally, recycling metal waste would obviously need some kind of a smelting center. It would be great to see a seastead melt this stuff down and create new spars out of all waste metals out in the deep, but that process is extremely energy intensive, on par with all of the energy a large OTEC plant could produce!
Most likely, for the first 100 years or so, our metal waste would either get batched & sold to passing barges that recycle them on land, or simply dumped out in the deep. We've lost a few steel-hulled ships down there over the centuries already, so we're pretty sure the fallout is minimal from that choice.
Closing the food cycle loop by integrating Black Soldier Fly Larvae, BSFL, turns ALL organic matter into fodder for feeding chickens and fish. Food production on our seasteads I'll best be done by modeling the systems developed by the Earthshio Biotecture Institute. Likewise methane biodigesters can also turn blackwater into cooking and heating fuel sources.
There is also incinerator tech for not only dealing with our "night soil" but also for turning plastics, tires, and more into energy for use and storage as sats thru mining when not using it all.
Rainwater cachement, aquaponics and grey water gardens, and wind/solar/wood gas/biodiesel generators will also be necessary to close our energetic cycles and become fully self contained on our seasteads.
Also, practice and test your recovery info has been recorded accurately too, before loading large amounts onto any signing device. For long term storage it's recommended to verify all is still functional on an annual basis too.
Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves.
Henry David Thoreau
This is the Way.
This is why I believe what's needed is to help us all learn how to establish multiple satoshi income streams every way possible. For our goods, for our services, and for our ideas, we establish "bodies" of work attached to our Nostr accounts that are continuously streaming sats into our wallets.
Only then does sending them back out again become less painful. It must also become normalized to be on zero fiat (or or close to near zero), transitioning back to slave debt-notes ONLY when necessary to interact with those still in the fiat plantataions.
It's also FAR easier to spend anything once full stack sovereignty over nearly all daily basic need has been established. As in clear title to land/house and energy, water, food, and waste management ALL managed on site. Siege proof sovereignty enables a higher velocity of money flows through our wallets.
This is the Way.
This is the MOST state-of-art version out there. A meat processing plant, Wamolers Farm, in TN is generating 500 Kw 24/7/365 off of 3 acres of cane grass.
Here's a talk by the inventor of that version of these:
https://youtu.be/1qFMqiW7oYM?si=2ub95aIzIaMYZ--m
This is commonly referred to as "wood gasification", some crazy DIY guys have Ben running their trucks off a wood stove in the bed of the truck. Creating biochar as a "waste" product is a massive value add if it's added back to the soil too.
Those ProtonPower versions can somehow create liquid diesel fuel too, rather than just running generators off the smoke. Then the deisal can be used to harvest and mulch the on-site bio.ass.
Humans are not only incredibly stupid, some are amazingly brilliant!
The character from which this quote is taken, Lazarus Long, when given the opportunity to colonize a planet set himself up as the Central Banker. IF money is your scorecard then nothing beats control of the money printer. BUT, without the skills he listed above having only money you are at the mercy of those with these skills.
The goal here is full stack self sovereignty, which is what money is truly supposed to buy. Being at least competent in all these things then becomes a failsafe backup keeping one from becoming codependent on the servants whose lives money still buys.
“A jack of all trades is a master of none, but often times better than a master of one.”
by William Shakespeare
Butcoiners are best off when ALL of us become auto-didact polymorphs, self-taught across many fields. We must become cyber-MMA masters to truly level up and protect our identities, our data, and our wealth.
I like this one a lot. No idea who to attribute it to on here though...
That is a Heinlein quote I have built my life around. Another great one by him that all Bitcoiners can relate to is this one. I believe from Time Enough for Love, the notebooks of Lazerus Long. A great book all should read!
"I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.”
Sats are my love language.
Keep your words of praise, don't bother with acts of service for that which I can do myself, touch I can purchase from professional massage therapist, and the only gifts others can give me that I value are satoshis.
Fiat debt notes are used on slave ledgers, I treat digital IOUs as hand grenades and paper promissory notes as hot potatoes. All my surplus energy is funneled into cold storage of on-chain satoshis. The house of cards is experiencing a not-so-controlled demolition. I don't plan on the rubble landing on my head or that of my loved ones, but an Ark is not enough. Safe harbors and #satoshisonlyzones on stable ground are necessary in the long term.
Centralized electricity, water, wastewater, fuel, and food are as subject to disruption and corruption as centralized monetary systems.
Freedom is NOT having nothing left to lose.
Freedom is having nothing that can be taken from you, i.e. self-custodied sats (and gardens, rainwater cachement, power generators, skills) etc.
My questions for my fellow Nostriches are these;
"How many of your daily basic needs are you truly in control of?",
and
"What are you doing to establish #siege-proofsovereignty for yourself?"...
