"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

Any tried and/or had success with https://nostrmeet.me/?

Seems really neat, and the QR code generated is super cool (example of mine is below), but...it doesn't work for me. My camera/QR reader doesn't pick it up.

Wrote this about #cashu and #ecash. I think things are right, if not, please let me know where I'm wrong. I'm always learning (or trying to at least).

Was looking up monsters from the Odyssey (not sure why), but one of the top hits was from an old tripod.com website. Wow...had totally forgotten about tripod, I once had some stuff there. Dig that old school web 1.0 look. Actually pretty fancy website...has a table.

Also made me recall the old GeoCities web host (had stuff there too) that issued you a web address that looked and sounded like a literal street address, like 3815 Sycamore to get geocities.com/sycamore/3815.

Different topic...you were talking fungi or some such bio thing on your pod recently, talking bridges to fediverse and bluesky...reminded me of a portuguese man o war. I know you like bio systems and see parallels to tech systems. I wrote about man o wars a while back and relations I saw with bitcoin at https://stacker.news/items/314916/r/crrdlx?commentId=315412 and with other things too at https://hive.blog/ai/@crrdlx/ai-man-o-war-welcome-to-the-aimow The second is kinda long and rambly but oh well.

Creepy, cool, or brilliant? https://iris.to/graph then "Show graph"

I took this photo yesterday. Trust me, I would not come over and try to take it. Vid at https://photos.app.goo.gl/uF373w7HnnKUtyuLA

Trying to set up bridges between Nostr, Mastodon, Bluesky, and Twitter is difficult. It seems simple and easy, but it teases and taunts you. It's hard.

There are several places listing instructions and they seem simple. Essentially, they say, "Search for xxx and then follow user xxx." However, my main point of confusion is the question:

On which platform am I searching? And, on which platform am I following?

Then, followup questions:

Once the initial search and follow is done, is it two-way now? Or, do I need to go to the other platform and do the same thing, in reverse?

What would be helpful would be for someone who has figured this out to post something with wording very explicit such as...

To bridge from Nostr to Mastodon

While using Nostr/Mastodon (specify which one), search for xxx and then while using Nostr/Mastodon (specify which one) follow. Also, while using Nostr, add the following relays: yyyy, zzzz

One other odd twist I've noticed is that the Mastodon-to-Nostr bridge creates another personage for me. It seems to create a new Nostr me, an alternate reality crrdlx with new keys. Posting on Mastodon did bridge over and appear on Nostr, however the image below shows it's alt-me. Notice my differing Web-of-Trust scores on Coracle. Also, the alt-me only has a few notes in my profile history (the test posts I did back over in Mastodon). This makes sense...it's a new Nostr account.

Frankly, I'm not really comfortable with someone else (a bot) having my alt-me private keys. But, for now, I'll live with it. My intent, and what I really want if I can get it to work, is to just post on Nostr and have it go over to Mastodon.

Regarding Bluesky, I don't even know. I've futzed so much already, and in different directions, I don't even know if it's working. And then there's Twitter which supposedly can be Nostr-bridged as well.

This back and forth gets confusing.

I get it, anyone can use this restroom. That's fine.

But, is the last icon actually needed here? Or, is its purpose really just to push an agenda?

Also, wish I could read the Braille underneath.

Looking for aurora.

But...nope.

I've got to go to a co-ed baby shower today. I'm nervous.

I was feeling a bit blue this evening, various reasons, so I took a little bike ride and walk...the best remedy. What I didn't expect was to stumble upon a marriage proposal. I got there a bit after the fact, but apparently she said Yes because all were happily taking photos. Renewed me.

Dear gold bugs,

We bitcoiners get what you're saying. We agree whole heartedly. The difference that we're saying is that bitcoin is truly, predictably scarce and that it can be sent worldwide in an instant with a tap.

That's it. Otherwise, we love gold too. 😀

This bridging of fediverse business is confounding. I'm kinda stupefied and kinda mad. Time to step away, go up on the roof, and scrape paint off the wall.

Stupid physical work is good for the brain.

Chief of plebs though I be. #plebchain

Last test from nostr (so as to not annoy anyone else...I'm already annoyed enough at this cat and mouse game!)

. It get to mastodon?

. It get to bluesky?
