"CR" for short. Edited "Kicking the Hornet's Nest" (everything Satoshi wrote publicly in chronological order). Made the Nostr Wiki at https://nostrwiki.vercel.app and Nostr bridges: Nostrdon (with Mastodon) & Hostr (with Hive). Home page: https://crrdlx.vercel.app

We've heard of nostriches for nostr users, which are great, but I think I also like #nostroids.

"Buy Bitcoin" sign auction is edging up. Going to be interesting tomorrow especially.

The more I think about it, it kind of makes sense. There really aren't many true "Bitcoin artifacts" if you call them that. I can see some wealthy bitcoiner getting a kick out of having something like that framed and hanging on the wall.

It also makes me wonder, "What other bitcoin artifacts, actual tangible items, are out there as possibilities?"

For whatever it's worth, the one thing I wish nostrudel had was a little indicator dot or whatever whenever I have a new notification.

Heh, funny how I write something with actual thought involved and hear crickets. Then I write "test" and get a hello! Funny.

By the way, Hi, and secondly, the purpose of the test is to test nostr delete ability. So if the note goes away, that's why.

Any way to generate the BIP-39 12 or 24 word mnemonic from the nsec or hex key? I looked at https://nostrtool.com/ which is great but doesn't seem to do thus action. #nostr #asknostr

That's good that you believe in Christ, but that second line is exactly the opposite of what Christ said. โค๏ธ

Wow, Mutiny Wallet just keeps getting better. Bitcoin and Nostr together is awesome. I just love how they just totally bypass app stores with the PWA.

And I think I heard rumors of cashu (ecash) in the works as well.

I don't know if it's possible, but it certainly _feels_ possible. Can there be NFTs on Nostr?

![nftsnostr.PNG](https://m.stacker.news/27660)

I've written and pondered on NFTs a few times and come up with a definition that I think works in laying out exactly what an NFT actually is. I defined NFTs as Verified Unique Ownership (VUO for short). (See https://peakd.com/nfts/@crrdlx/nfts-defined-in-three-words and ponderings at https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@crrdlx/when-you-buy-an-nft-what-are-you-buying-an-nft-thought-exercise.)

The upshot of VUO is this:

**V** = **verified** = The NFT (which is nothing more than metadata such as a custom JSON) is openly visible to all to verify and cannot be altered.

**U** = **unique** = The NFT/metadata is unique. Although a monkey jpeg may be the same for all 1,000 mints, the owner of mint #1 will definitely not trade with the owner of mint #859.

**O** = **ownership** = The NFT can be transferred to another person and that transfer can also be verified.

With regards to Nostr, the V, the verified, seems to be the challenge. It seems that the hang-up would be persistence (or lack of persistence) in data. That is, having the metadata persistently stored on Nostr may be a high hurdle. It may be impossible. For instance, if I minted an NFT and the metadata got stored on several Nostr relays, it seems that would work. The data can be verified by others. It's persistently verifiable until...those relays go down or close up shop or purge that metadata note. Then, that NFT is gone. This, of course, differs from a blockchain.

Regarding the O of ownership, I'm really not sure how that would transpire on Nostr. But, I think clever people could figure that out. If the persistent V of verifiability were solved, then a persistent alteration should also be possible to track on the "Nostr blockchain", the "nostrchain."

If this were possible...what would be the use cases? I really don't know. I do think they would emerge though. Being around Nostr suggests to me that the fun-factor would be off-the-charts though. There are some clever and comical people in this space. Fun, is an important use-case in my view, by the way!

Wen NFTs on Nostr?

Totally forgot I'd made this silly animation back during the last halving (not the recent one, but back in 2020.

Still working on figuring out the #cashu protocol and npub.cash Here's what I've got...

I've kinda neglected the "Bitkenstan" comic the past few years. It's a webcomic about "bitcoin, cryptocurrency, blockchain, and life."

Just looked at it and now am formulating a to-do list:

1. add nostr links rather than Twitter

2. bitcoin NFTs instead of WAX? (we're not ready for that yet)

3. create more episodes

If you like bitcoin and like stories and like silliness, take a look.

Bitcoin doesn't have the supply question mark that gold does. How much #gold is really out there? Or here even? Don't know, but we do for #bitcoin.

And oh, even if 21 bazillion new bitcoins were found out in space, getting them to Earth would be easy.

I think a lot of us are definitely climbing up the learning curve. I still don't quite get communities.
