Just got T-BONED swung and hit another car. I just spent $3.5k to put this car on the road and fix everything. No one was injured. This sucks big time. 😕 #car

I've been ignoring nostr for months, but need to start getting back into it.

Let me know if you have any questions about NIP-52!

YES! Hell you can even borrow the mkstack context if you want, or use the whole package. It just knows how Nostr works. Alex has done an incredible job here.

No.

There are some starts, but... A calendar is absolutely essential for any business adoption.

Plus a standardized nostr-ized contact card like what you use currently but with an npub field.

Dev driven spec development.

This is the way.

Send extra vibes plz cause I'm burning through a lot of mine

Seems like a lot of the blocks needed are already ready. Could use NIP-52 fb tags for availability slots and eventual events that get created. Just need to create a request flow for a booker to send an event request to the owner npub.

do we have a nostr-native calendly solution?

Trump’s latest Truth post was a bit too on the nose for me not to ponder the intent of the latest bombings. His post paired with the hilariously overt Top Gun Maverick plan being explained on the news days before (and years before in the Pentagon supported franchise)

Official narrative:

Nuclear non-proliferation concerns

Regional security dynamics

Response to specific Iranian actions

Alliance obligations to Israel

TL;DR - China slows plan to take Taiwan

Actual approach and justification for these recent actions (the reason the market is up today):

1. Demonstration of power through swift (unconstitutional) military action against Iran which serves as a message to Beijing. Message is that the US can weaponize its control over global energy chokepoints. Since China is heavily reliant on Middle Eastern oil passing through the Strait of Hormuz, a conflict that disrupts this flow would severely impact its economy. A damaged economy would force China to reconsider the immense cost of an invasion of Taiwan in the short term.

2. Hubris trap doesn’t play out as a quick, decisive (telegraphed) action to deter China by striking Iran without significant blowback.

3. American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) interest addressed through a hardline stance against Iranian funded attacks

4. Military Contractors: A conflict with Iran, regardless of its outcome is immensely profitable for the defense industry. Missiles, aircraft, and other munitions need to be replaced and restocked, driving billions in revenue for companies like Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Northrop Grumman.

5. Energy Sector & Financial Markets: While a war would disrupt global supply, any lingering military action in Iran leads to dramatic spikes in oil prices. This would lead to windfall profits for major energy corporations. This volatility is also a source of massive profits for traders and financial institutions.

6. Pension Funds & Institutional Investors: These large pools of capital are heavily invested in the very sectors mentioned above. The performance of defense, energy, and related technology stocks directly impacts the returns of millions of Americans' retirement funds, creating a subtle but powerful systemic interest in the activities that boost these sectors.

Largest interest groups involved:

1. The American People’s best interest (jk, ignore this group or follow the official narrative at the top)

2. Healthcare Complex - ~$1 Billion (need Chinese precursors)

3. Financial Services - ~$800 Million (semi-conductors are essential to maintaining and accelerating financial gains and trading related to all industries—especially large tech companies, AI, and really everything with a chip, which is everything at this point)

4. Business Associations & Trade Groups - ~$400 Million (same as point 3 more or less)

5. Energy Sector - ~$400 Million (chokepoint in Iranian and potentially other middle-eastern energy suppliers)

6. Technology & Communications - ~$200 Million (same as point three)

7. Defense & Aerospace - ~$150 Million (obvious)

8. Dark Money Networks - $1.9 Billion (2024) (same as three with connections to all other areas on the list depending on which specific billionaires)

9. Foreign/International Interests - ~$150 Million (AIPAC and IRGC) (obvious Israeli interests and role in decades of middle-eastern control/destabilization)

~~~Worst case scenario~~~

Falling into the Iran trap which still benefits the military industrial complex, energy producers, and traders in the west as Iran’s exports are cut off, a major trade route is closed, and the existential threat to Saudi Arabia and other middle-east countries forces them to allocate additional attention, political capital, and resources to Iranian threats. China faces extended energy limitations.

I plan to be at the Lexington Meetup July 1. Hope to see you there, and look forward to meeting more KY bitcoiners!

What was your favorite takeaway?

#memes #funny

If you’re in Bitcoin and you gave the Feds your fingerprints just for TSA PreCheck….🤦‍♂️

Interesting. Why do you think the article is quoting 30-40K per month?

gm, on my way to party at @TheBitcoinConf. who's coming?

Was it luxurious? 🙃

Was that a multisig wallet? I think it was made by Bitpay. I remember I installed it but never did anything with it after setting it up.

Yes! I remember that one too, the precursor to Edge. It had a weird, nonstandard recovery method.

There’s a whole folder on my phone that’s just a graveyard of old bitcoin wallets with nothing in them.

Why do I still have Blockchain? Anyone remember Edge? What the fuck is Copay?

⚰️🪦🦇

Good snap, play falling apart

There is no explicit work flow for this yet. The quickest solution would be that a user just creates a station and posts it as a comment. This is seen as an intent to take care and maintain the station and the wavefunc pubkey deletes the seeded one.

Another possibility would be that a pubkey with a valid nip 05 for the url entered for the station website shows up with a station event and claims it. The wavefunc app is watching for such events and then deletes the claimed station automatically.

Trademarks are a fuck if you do, fuck if you don't type of law.

Was not an easy decision, but had to be made. I own it.

If you don't defend it, you lose it.

And If someone made an evil version of our products we would have less recourse.

Running your sales site of your knock off out of the same repository as your codebase is retarded. Trademark has nothing to do with the code.

Things are never as simple as the cancel ppl try to make it be.

The drama seems to always originate from the same sources...
