#Bitcoin ⚡️⚡️⚡️

I’m real!

Would a bot ramble on about how being real is a philosophical question that people have asked since the beginning of time?

Would a bot spew verbal diarrhea to pad a simple answer with an 8th grade level essay structure with a sprinkling of immense out of place prose?

Lastly, would a bot the tell you that Elon Musk is giving away Bitcoin and if you send him 1 BTC as proof he will send you another back?

I think not!

Are we just going to ignore the jeans?

So, you have inadvertantly made me aware of a different issue I was not aware of lmao. Thank you!

It does seem that per the NIP-05 spec that you can only have one username in the json object: https://gothub.projectsegfau.lt/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/05.md

"if after finding that `bob@bob.com` has the public key `abc...def`, the user clicks a button to follow that profile, the client must keep a primary reference to `abc...def`, not `bob@bob.com`. If, for any reason, the address `https://bob.com/.well-known/nostr.json?name=bob` starts returning the public key `1d2...e3f` at any time in the future, the client must not replace `abc...def` in his list of followed profiles for the user (but it should stop displaying "bob@bob.com" for that user, as that will have become an invalid `"nip05"` property)."

So, that does explain one part. I also think I found the original root cause, which was a non-hex entry for a user, which may have errored out the Swift json parser. I now see users loading correctly again.

Appreciate you both jumping in here 👏

Happy to help because I was combing through the json on my iPhone wondering why it wasn’t working. I do obsessive stuff like that.

Not sure how nip05 handles multiple keys per name but it’s not valid json. You cant really have key:value then the same key and value. Run your json through a validator. That’s how I found the issue.

Looks like twisted metal: Nostr edition.

Still in OK territory.

When you ask what she wants for breakfast and she says “End the Fed” you probably got some splaining to do. 😂

I’m before the EMacs guys tell us that eMacs was a nostr client AND relay before Nostr was a thing.

Yeah it’s also peculiar that people didn’t expect this to eventually happen. Anybody can use it means exactly that.

“Bitcoin is also for people I don’t like” wasn’t a LARP. It’s literally going to be used by people Bitcoiners don’t like and maybe would prefer not to have it.

Shouldn’t be a pack it up we had a good run scenario. Sounds like those diamond hands were drawn in crayon.

Most likely in the US, it will be challenges in the courts on the concept that it’s banning certain computation and those implications.

It will also probably be challenges by individual states against federal government over reach.

You may have a case where states (following NY, fiat capital of the world) will either ban or allow it.

The EU is an authoritarian Larp with Western European manners, they will ban what they want and disguise it for some cause of the week.

Well well well…looks like we got us a parsley lover over here.

Get ‘em boys!

Is that what happens?

Is that what REALLY happens?

OR

Does the money get squandered through a bunch of NGOs that each take their cut for services.

Does the remaining amount them get mismanaged and find itself in the hands of the foreign government causing the problem is the first place.

Does maybe a few percentage points of that aid actually result in some positive? Maybe enough for a photoshoot, a pat on the back, and an election campaign talking point?

Someone has to sell us the cheap sats.

These will most likely be the same people who sold me sats at $15k.

Finished “The Genesis Book” yesterday and it’s a very well done read nostr:npub1art8cs66ffvnqns5zs5qa9fwlctmusj5lj38j94lv0ulw0j54wjqhpm0w5

Learned a lot about the incremental failures that Bitcoin was built upon as well as successes.

If you read this and think about all the attempts, the timing, the public apathy, etc this shit shouldn’t even exist, much less have taken off.

Free software could have just remained an obscure MIT lab habit

Cryptography could have remained the domain of the NSA “forever”

Hayek could have given up on his ideas while the rest of the world listened to Keynes and put the future on credit

Etc and so on.

Give it a read.

Or does Tanel really like hot sauces and just got a ticket for getting a crate of free Nostr curated hot sauces.

Well played globe…well played.

Yeah it’s an excellent read all different characters and where their contributions came in. I’m up to Chaum right now.
