So we invented AI to basically scan our entire written history and throw us under the bus. Because humans by nature make mistakes and cut corners

Iβm very happy to report that after 237 days, I have finally been able to recover the sats that were locked up in my malfunctioning nostr:npub1jg552aulj07skd6e7y2hu0vl5g8nl5jvfw8jhn6jpjk0vjd0waksvl6n8n βexperimentalβ Lightning wallet!
This was a strange journey, spanning nearly eight months, involving multiple support tickets, and fending off Telegram scammers pretending to be engineers to try to find someone who could help diagnose and solve my problem.
In July, after no progress had been made for close to half a year, I found the Blockstream booth while I was at the conference in Nashville. I started chatting with a friendly engineer named Randy about this problem, and we continued messaging for the next several weeks as he tried to look deeper into what was going on. The logs showed that the node connected to my app had gone hopelessly out of sync, and the best solution would be to close the channel, but the app wasnβt allowing me to do that. He suggested talking to someone on the Greenlight team at nostr:npub1jugar2agq6369p0l86razavs9shj2p6pscxecevs8j94ap37hkqsjlfc28 who would be able to close it from their end.
After nothing happened for a few more weeks, I politely pinged my friend nostr:npub17248hqdkw8j83gq383pu75fa4p42cfaf76dp5u3yec6lrtnej8asf65tfn last night, who was at that moment was on a flight from Singapore to Tokyo traveling between two conferences. She said I should talk to nostr:npub18jp8mdkytalxyg06zxdevpzwkxjpy9r2rat8gapgwnmmyejp3lps7edjnx, (proud new dad!) who in one day was able to finally get the channel closed, and allow me to finally complete the transaction I started back in January.
Thanks so much for your help. Itβs not even about the money for me. I would have been able to move on if I had lost these sats, but my thoughts are with people around the world who need a reliable way to transact, free of censorship, and not worry that they will be stuck without access to their funds for long stretches of time. The new users, just discovering bitcoin, Lightning, Nostr, and other freedom technologies for the first time are the reason I feel so compelled to try all the things, break them, and try again.

You're not wrong, but imagine if the Rothschild's had social media in the 1760's?
If "normies" back then had joined the conversation, they wouldn't have a clue what they were talking about, but by the 19th Century everybody knew what a bank was and most people used one.
There are non Bitcoin citadels (relays) on NOSTR, but for the moment, we mostly talk Bitcoin because we are still early.
It's interesting what nostr:npub14mcddvsjsflnhgw7vxykz0ndfqj0rq04v7cjq5nnc95ftld0pv3shcfrlx is doing. He's rebranded his podcast as a general discussion forum, but every area he looks at will be from a Bitcoiners perspective and he will discuss Bitcoin with experts in different fields.
I think Peter is right, it is time to move the discussion into the real world and talk about Bitcoin in the context of everyday life.
I think NOSTR will gradually evolve to emulate this sentiment.
Fair enough but doesn't pay the bills for will, vitor and the other main devs
Recently I've been over on Threads which as you know is the almighty Zucks attempt to crush twitter
Seriously it's blowing up over there, the traction is astonishing
But the reason I mention it because someone referenced Jack on threads and Nostr
It got quite a bit of engagement and loads of folks were asking what is notr? What is notstr?
The issue is, if they send these normies over here to see what's happening
What are they gonna find?
A bunch of psycho bitcoin maxis talking in borderline code
Not being funny but they won't hang around long will they!
Am I wrong? Tell me
My friend same, its actually quantum financial system they think will take over
Happy Thursday everybody β€οΈπππ» there is only now #love #life #present
Lucky trump didn't buy that burger during zapathon π€¦π€£
So bank call scammers are using AI to replicate your relatives voices, to call you and try to hoodwink you into releasing funds!
Wtf is next?!
Just been on twitter for 5 mins
That was horrific π’
Happy Wednesday everybody β€οΈπππ happy humpday you made it halfway #love #life
