This is an FOSS project and just the initial ALPHA release - experienced ham radio operators welcome to test and contribute! While this is not hard to install and use, it is not for the weary or untechnical. But any hams with modern data experience should do just fine.
Lots of work to do still. Many features and improvements planned. There will be bugs no doubt.

I just read this on X from Sean Murray:
WHY JACK DORSEY IS SATOSHI NAKAMOTO
Jack Dorsey was:
1 of ~1,300 confirmed cypherpunks in 1996 (his UMR email)
Wore an Adam Back t-shirt in the UMR yearbook
UMR students were called Miners
Was a CompSci & Math major with an interest in crypto

Still on the cypherpunk mailing list in 2000 under his dnet .com email
Wrote a manifesto about making a mark without leaving a trace in 2001
Subscriber to cryptome .org in 2001
Made a blog post where he jokingly says he is working on a network for drug traffickers
Posted a bio in 2003 that says he is into crypto, pseudonyms, 4am hacks, and more
Posted in 2003 that he is ending his dependence on the US dollar and creating a barter network
Referred to himself as Jak instead of Jack. Jak was his pseudonym.
Jack, who was a sailor, tweeted on 8/17/08: Around the horn and home again, for that's the sailor's way". Bitcoin .org was registered the next day.
Jack's twitter profile from Sept '07 - Jan '09 said he was a sailor.
The original Bitcoin source code included an old sailor's adage. "Never go to sea with two chronometers; take one or three"
The original Bitcoin source code documents are all timestamped as being created at exactly 4AM, just like Jack's bio
The original Bitcoin source code documents contain a brute forced example vanity bitcoin address that starts with NS17 (Nakamoto Satoshi 1/7 ). The documents were created 1/7/09.
Satoshi accidentally logged into IRC on 1/10/09 using a real IP, revealing he was in California (where Jack was)
The first bitcoin transaction took place on Jack's mom's birthday (1/11/09)
Satoshi joined the bitcoin forum on Jack's birthday (11/19)
Satoshi's last mined block was on Jack's dad's birthday (5/3/10)
Satoshi told Hal in an email about vanity bitcoin addresses and showed him a SECOND one beginning with NS.
Jack sends bitcoin to 4 addresses after Hal, including one that has jD2m in the middle.
Jack lived at 2 Mint Plaza in San Francisco. Jack Dorsey 2 Mint (jD2m).
Satoshi tells Martti Malmi that he is really busy with work. Jack was busy launching his next startup, Square (now Block)
Satoshi tells people on the forum not to donate Bitcoins to Wikileaks on 12/5/10
Twitter is hit with a secret court order with a gag requirement to turn over everything it has about Wikileaks on 12/14/10
Satoshi stopped logging into the forum on 12/13/10 and never returned
Jack is made Executive Chairman of Twitter while remaining CEO of Square on 3/28/11 and he tweets that he is very busy with both
Satoshi sends his last email on 4/23/11
Twitter's tech lead suggests that Twitter might integrate bitcoin payments on 5/23/11
Jack Dorsey calls Bitcoin an Amazing Movement in September 2012 and said that Square would accept it if it became huge and accepted.
Jack's best friend Alyssa Milano writes a novel (Hacktivist) in the Summer of 2013 about Jack, in which she places him as living a double life behind a famous pseudonym
Square announces Bitcoin acceptance on 3/31/14.
Satoshi's gmx email is hacked on 9/8/14 and the hacker attempts to extort Satoshi by sharing that he knows about his connection to St. Louis, Missouri. Jack is from St. Louis.
Alyssa Milano writes a 2nd novel about Jack (Hacktivist). In this one, Jack's famous pseudonym is hijacked and his software developed in a way that was not intended. The hijacker has a logo that looks almost exactly like Gavin Andresen's Bitcoin Faucet logo. It was released in installments with the first one going out on 7/29/15.
Two weeks later on 8/15/15, Satoshi reappears on the bitcoin mailing list to address the bitcoin block size debates. People are shocked about Satoshi's return and some doubt it is really him but could not disprove it.
On 10/15/15, Jack is made permanent CEO of Twitter, officially making him CEO of two companies.
The last installment of Milano's novel about Jack is published, in which its ends by him returning as head to his social network.
Square publishes a children's book in January 2018 to explain the "Legend of Satoshi Nakamoto" in which it makes its Satoshi character look like Jack.
On 4/20/20 Lex Fridman asks Jack if he is Satoshi, to which Jack tells him that he wouldn't admit it to him if he was. This is in contrast to Nick Szabo, Adam Back, and Hal Finney all saying explicitly that they were not Satoshi.
On 5/25/20 - 145 very old bitcoin addresses signed a message stating that Craig Wright was not Satoshi and that he was a liar and a fraud. The oldest bitcoin address that signed the message started with 1jak (Jack's old pseudonym) and the oldest that signed it contained HiSQ in the middle. SQ is the ticker for his company Square.
In February of 2022 Jack starts wearing a Satoshi shirt, first on a Michael Saylor podcast and then at the Super Bowl.
On 10/27/23, Jack said at a conference that "Bitcoin and Satoshi in 2009 was a combination of my childhood and my curiosity and everything that I aspired to be and everything I loved."
Craig Wright's attorneys argue in early 2024 that if Craig Wright was not Satoshi "then the real Satoshi would have been expected to come forward to counter the claim." It did not dawn on them that the person countering the claim was Jack Dorsey, who was the basis for the COPA v Wright legal challenge to begin with. Jack Dorsey came forward to counter the claim.
On 7/21/24 Jack wrote on Nostr, "I frequently imagine Satoshi sitting back somewhere and laughing at it all."
On 8/28/24 Jack went on Nostr and thanked Hal Finney (now deceased) for his help.
Jack parades himself around in a Satoshi shirt.
----------
The belief that Satoshi never wanted to be found is something that other people invented about Satoshi. Satoshi chose pseudonymity, not anonymity, as Jack so pointed out in a podcast with Lex Fridman. The reason why Jack would do all of the above, while not directly admitting it, is because Satoshi and bitcoin are his art. And it's a masterpiece. nostr:nprofile1qqsgydql3q4ka27d9wnlrmus4tvkrnc8ftc4h8h5fgyln54gl0a7dgstw3r3l
*sigh*
I wonder what that was on the screen...
Me either. Sometimes that causes me stress. But usually I find it awesome. 🌮🥠🐦😀🦁
Are you ABSOLUTELY SURE you were not "communing with Snoop" at the time so to speak?
Or typing in tongues?
i dont know what to make of this. i can’t believe what im seeing. a bunch of democrats, on msnbc, saying things that are actually rational and introspective. 😳

Its because while the media continued to label things "alt" /"far"/"extreme" right the larger issue with strong polarity is much worse on the left.
So more and more people on the left ate either coming to the center right or at least having the honesty in the midst of their dissonance to admit publicly that the left is much more far and extreme in the mainstream than any ACTUAL far right that exists which is in reality a tiny sliver.
Maybe she just needs to cut back on the Doku Butu just a little?
I blocked it in Amethyst, but could still ser it in Yakihonne. I should leave this trash alone. Sorry.
Just an nostr friend. Who lives in the us like you.
