At first I thought it was saying Sun was on Trump's crypto advisory committee. This is bad enough.
Well that was a first: morning 5k turkey trot in light snow flurries. Badge unlocked.
I'm afraid to read the punchline on this one. Can't end well.
Brazil proposes a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, allocating up to 5% of its international reserves to bitcoin, boosting leadership in Latin America's digital economy.

I see on njump.me that my nip-57 address is my old one and I want to switch. How can I change it?

Is "bits" talk back to #bitcoin?
"Bits" was a thing back around 2015ish or whenever it was that btc hit $1000. I made a calculator for it. There was talk of bits, ubits/microbits, millibits, mbits. It was/is confusing (reason I made the calc). I say stay "sats" as that's where we're heading.

On the road, visiting for the week...I half wake up, brain groggy, force my eyes open, look out the window...
...brain foggy, gray outside, lace drapes, wait, what?...
...head turned sideways on the pillow, rows and rows of mushrooms...
...and the bitcoin logo?
Either I've become "orange-pilled" to the point of bitcoin enlightenment...
...or I have an obsession problem and admission is the first step.
Or, there were some "special" mushrooms in my tacos yesterday.

nostr:npub1market6g3zl4mxwx5ugw56hfg0f7dy7jnnw8t380788mvdyrnwuqgep7hd Trying out plebeian.market to sell a book. I'm loving the UI/UX both from the seller and buyer point of view. My takeaways...
1. While trying to "buy" my own product as a logged out "customer", I went through the checkout, filled out shipping details etc, all great. But the "buy now" button is grayed out until I go back and create a nostr account. Then I could go back and do the whole fill-out-details of shipping again. Not sure that a normie is going to do that. At least they'll find it frustrating.
2. After clicking the "buy now" button, I was expecting a QR code or some way to pay with sats. Instead, I got a "waiting for reply from the store" message.
3. While logged back into nostr (on another browser) I indeed got a message with the order details and shipping etc in what looked like a custom json.
4. I assume that "9e6..." is the buyer's npub (in hex). Am I to connect with the buyer? Something else? I really, really don't think a person who stumbles upon this and sets up a random nostr account is going to be knowledgable enough to communicate with me via nostr.
Or, is there something I'm missing, something I'm supposed to do from my side in Plebeian Market?
Or, are things not 100% done and PM is under construction? (which is fine)
Or, is it just user me? (me messing up, which is the likeliest possibility) 😂
Not sure how I missed all this drama about Cash App guy. Yikes.

"Bitcoin Faces Volatility but Analysts Remain Bullish on Future Growth" - Bitcoin journalists pro tip: just copy this headline to paste in every few days...just to save time in reporting. 🥱 #bitcoingroundhogday

I use the mostr relay, it worked fairly well before. I've kind of forgot the following part...like go to mastodon then follow a newly generated account or something. It took me a while.
If anyone has some nostr-to-mastodon bridge advice, I'd love to hear. I had it set up and working but the mastodon server I used got too unreliable. So...back to square one. I'm striking out with the instructions on mostr.pub
#asknostr #grownostr
The nuisance #mastodon server I'd been using finally became sketchy enough that I said forget it. So, new mastodon account on new server: https://mas.to/@crrdlx Why is mastodon so hard to figure out? Anyway, I'm now trying to set up the #nostr to mastodon bridge, again. It was doggone hard the first time, not looking forward to this. This is basically a test.
The "outbox model" is kind of a misnomer actually, it can't be "implemented", it is just an idea.
The idea is: you have to organize your client in a way that it learns using all the information available where each pubkey is publishing their stuff to, then connect to those relays to fetch their stuff. That's it, the rest is your imagination.
The common tools that can be used for this are:
- kind:10002 relay lists
- relay hints in "p" tags
- relay hints in other tags
- relay hints in nprofile, nevent codes
- relays listed on nip05 /.well-known/nostr.json
- history of successes and failures when fetching events for a specific pubkey in a specific relay
I tried to convey the idea here: https://how-nostr-works.pages.dev/#/outbox (notice the table with a dynamic ranking of relays for a specific pubkey on the right). This is just an example of one possible implementation. It follows roughly what is implemented on https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/nbd-wtf/go-nostr/sdk/hints and is heavily inspired by some past version of https://github.com/mikedilger/gossip.
Am I the only one squinting thinking there's a hidden image either in the purple or black?
I edited the book "Kicking the Hornet's Nest" with all of Satoshi's writings. It's free, but there's a printed version also on Lulu and Amazon. Of course, they only take fiat. I want to offer "Kicking" for sale via bitcoin.
https://crrdlx.vercel.app/kicking/index.html
Here's what I want to happen:
1. Person clicks buy-with-bitcoin, they get a form and enter their shipping address, then send BTC.
2. I get notified of shipping address and proof of payment.
3. I ship book.
I want simple...I'm thinking of doing this just via dm and trust (trust is required anyway when buying online). I'd be saying, "You send me X sats and include your shipping address, I promise I'll send you the book." However, I'm sure there are more professional options out there.
What are my options?

I just watched a fat and furry squirrel in the front yard. He grabbed a seed pod off the ground, gnawed it to get out the seed inside, dug a hole, placed it, carefully covered it up. Did it a few times.
Squirrels are the original stackers and hodlers.
