Tinkerer, silly posting ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ | #carstr #gamestr #bitcoin

At the Toronto Cypherpunk Halving Meetup! Come on down to Union Eatery in North York and hang ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿซ‚๐Ÿ’œ #Bitcoin #Toronto #Canada #grownostr

I have it! Will check once Iโ€™m home, thanks Will ๐Ÿซ‚

How do I get nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 on TestFlight with my new iPhone? Itโ€™s not showing up on it. #asknostr

I feel like Iโ€™m failing to understand your viewpoint here. Could you expand? How is it any different from X or Facebook where a stalker could just either make a new account to watch you and not interact so they donโ€™t get blocked, or just stalk you without creating an account.

Am I missing something here? This can and does happen on other platforms.

Omg Iโ€™m the worst I totally forgot to reply to this :(

I have been doing better! Nearly fully healed, back to work, and planning a trip to Japan soon!! Thank you for your kindness ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿซ‚

How are you Bo? ๐Ÿค 

First day back at work today, all in all went well. Regular sore feet from being on them for 8+ hours but thatโ€™s just life. No injury pain, hoping it stays like this tomorrow morning.

Looking forward to the Cypherpunks #Bitcoin halving party on Thursday, wonder if Iโ€™ll see any of you there?

Oh wow I was dead for another week. Wtf! Time flew by. Healing up nicely now, can walk comfortably again. Picked up my vending machine today! The plan moves forward. ๐Ÿค 

Once I have everything set up, I want to look into how to accept #Bitcoin at my vending machine. Will ask for some help here when I get to that point!

For sure a possibility, but I donโ€™t think that would lead to control or true censorship of the network. It would definitely impact specific nations perhaps, as in localized censorship (ex: US based miners blacklist transactions from unknown entities), but the network being decentralized and having multiple options means the free market to move where it is the free-eat (elsewhere would opt for the idealogical approach, in some cases as an intentional counter to the authoritarian party).

You are a crazy if you think they don't control Bitcoin ๐Ÿ˜…

Making Bitcoin the "new international reserve currency" doesn't mean it can protect you from your government, and Bitcoin is more and more controlled, KYC everywhere on mining now, which entity are the major miners ? People like you and me ? No, it's big corporations which comply to the government, that mean at some point Bitcoin will eventually be censored with a blacklist or whitelist. They know every big mining company and it will be so easy to pressure them... that's why anonymity is essential, staying hidden is not for hackers or dealers only, it's a necessity for everyone against a dystopian system, the situation will be worse with CBDC and Bitcoin will not help you at this point, if they know where your finance is, you are fucked. Of course everyone in economy know from 1971 the fiat will collapse, from the early days of Bitcoin they knew it's existence, there was CIA report from 2011 something like that explaining Bitcoin, they never tried to kill Bitcoin because Bitcoin has never been a threat to them, it's a transparent ledger, KYC no resistant, centralized KYC mining, there is no privacy at all, Monero on the opposite is an opaque ledger, KYC resistant, decentralized anonymous mining, there is full privacy here and this is a real threat to them because it's untraceable, KYC is useless, impossible to enforce a blacklist or whitelist. People thinking Bitcoin is a protection against CBDC or government are doing a big mistake, so yes Monero help you to hide your economic dealings, why do you think the DarkNet use Monero instead of Bitcoin? The price is not the question, Bitcoin can x10 and Monero /10 is irrelevant, it's about fundamental not about price, at that point, Gold is far better than Bitcoin, if there is a WW3, Bitcoin will probably go to 0 and Gold will go the sky, Gold is will ever be the international reserve currency, Bitcoin perpetually need electricity and internet to work, Gold is independent from everything, in 1000 years, I can guarantee you Gold will be here, I can't about Bitcoin, so Gold cannot be replaced by Bitcoin, only fool think that, again it's not about the price but about fundamental, intrinsic property and as a reserve currency, Gold is Gold (you can consider Silver too)

This is statistically incorrect and youโ€™re pushing this misinformation to confirm your personal bias. As per most recent data for Bitcoin mining, itโ€™s a pretty even split across pools. Understanding how mining pools work (different individuals and companies offer their hash power to the pool, geographically decentralized) helps us come to the conclusion that no company or person has anywhere near enough hashing power to be able to control anything on the network or create blacklists, because the hashing power can be removed and relocated to another pool or individual mining at any time.

Thanks brother! Itโ€™s called the Moonlander ๐Ÿค 

This is just speculation but perhaps for those whose Nostr work is their main income source, they (understandably) fear the potential loss in user base for adding or removing features that may not be good for the app.

5 years. 2013-2014 I was using it for some online purchases but didnโ€™t learn anything about it or look into it. Wish I had. Ended up getting in at the end of 2017 early 2018.

I mean when the majority of your notes are hating on the opposite gender youโ€™re like to receive some hate back. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

All politicians are puppets but we gotta get him the fuck out of there

& apologies for radio silence. The past month has been a rollercoaster of bullshit thanks to my car accident. Trying to get back on the saddle but life is difficult. ๐Ÿ˜ž

Another day of healing. Gm #Nostr!

Part of fair and open decentralized social networks is that everyone is equally allowed to be involved. May not like him, but disallowing someone access to the protocol goes against the entire ethos of the system. Individuals have the right to block them from their view or relays but blocking someone at a protocol level is monopolizing control of access the same way mainstream social platforms do.

From what can be seen it seems like their fedi linking is just post from threads not pull posts from elsewhere. At most they perhaps see likes.

Can someone ELI5?
