The people who don’t care about engagement and influence have been keeping Nostr warm for those who do.
It may not stick this time either, but one of these days they’ll realize they need Nostr and we’ll still be here.
The convenience of ACH on-ramps has been the biggest impediment to P2P markets and circular economies forming.
The fact that people don’t see how absurd it is to have staked Eth locked until…whenever, says it all.
The people who don’t see the problem with that are a lost cause.
2022-12-11 to be exact. Seemed a bit self serving at the time, even more suspicious now.

It was in December when Paxful killed support for Eth. I wonder if they knew something was coming as far back as then?
So Paxful probably got a Wells Notice too, eh? And it’s bad enough to cause key staff to leave? 🤔

One person’s tax fraud is another person’s fraud prevention. It’s all about perspective.
The Ivies have been woke ground zero for decades. The “elites” have been compromised for a long time.
The insecurity of the people who didn’t make into the Ivies, but really wanted to, is always jarring to me. Such a cult.
JRE has been dog shit for quite a while.
Coincidentally, it got worse and worse the more often CIA plants started showing up as guests on a regular basis. I’m sure there is no correlation though.
From March of 2019 and the very beginning of her story starts with anti-vax stuff. Not even a little sus. 🙄
Yeah, I had assumed it just sent it via the connected Electrum server, which is a what it does if it can’t send it via Tor to one of the sources, but this is way better than I would have guessed.
I realized I didn’t know how Sparrow Wallet handles broadcasting of transactions, so I looked.
Craig made this announcement on Twitter back in May of 2021 when v1.4.1 was released:
“If Tor is enabled, Sparrow will create a new Tor circuit to broadcast your transactions via @mempool or @Blockstream.” [1]
Reviewing the source code, this is still the case, but there are now more broadcast sources that Sparrow will try. It tries them in random order until the broadcast succeeds. [2]
If you are on MAINNET, it will try the following sources [3]:
blockstream.info
mempool.space
mempool.emzy.de
mempool.bisq.services
So make sure you have a Tor proxy setup and make sure you are connected through that Tor proxy and Sparrow will send your transaction via Tor using one of those public services. This is equivalent to connecting to one of those services using the Tor browser from the device Sparrow Wallet is running on and then using that service to broadcast your transaction directly. But this has the added benefit of using a different randomly chosen service each time you broadcast a transaction.

Do you have Tor enabled? Assuming this is still true when broadcasting transactions with Tor enabled, it could be a problem with Tor.

Are people really giving ChatGPT unfettered access to their Slack accounts?
Someone should option the movie rights to this story told in the replies.
I wonder if the mothers who raised these fierce girlbosses dreamed of spending their retirement years acting as pro bono nannies.
Imagine the terror of a white dude in his late 40s who works as an individual contributor in a giant corporate marketing department.
That dude must spend a significant amount of his time wondering when the DEI committee is going to find a reason to replace him with a more deserving and diverse choice who also happens to be cheaper and is more likely to be in touch with the key demo of 18-35 year olds.
Good luck to him finding a new job. 🤣
The people who want to destroy an industry that the entire modern world depends on keep forgetting that they don’t control the global supply. They think they control large amounts of demand and that gives them more power than the producers, but they are wrong about that.
Using ChatGPT is like plugging 🤡 🌎 directly into your Neuralink jack.
Imagine if it was possible to withdraw.
His star is still rising, I’m sure.
Wow
That’s my expectation too.
I’m very skeptical anything like this will happen, but if it does, hello hyperinflation.
Waiting for Biden to start blathering incoherently to do a smash buy of 🌽 in celebration.
SV has less power this morning than it did a week ago.
I can’t escape that conclusion no matter what angle I look at this situation from.
I also can’t escape the feeling that it is a good thing SV has less power and influence over the rest of the US.
SVB was throwing money around to worthless companies that nobody else would loan to at 0%.
Now those companies will have to find someone to loan them money when rates are ≈5%.
Whatever else happens, there won’t be as many shitty startups spinning up and out of SV for the foreseeable future.
Also, do you think those VCs have as much influence in the big NY banks? How about Californian representatives and senators?
Mike Alfred is still the same, I see.
It’s going to be fascinating to see what the Fed does over the next 6 months.
Either way, I’ll always be buying Bitcoin.
Without it and Bitcoin, it would be a very dark time. 🤙
Damus tip: if the bottom half of Damus gets stuck with padding where the keyboard normally shows, click the + button to start a new post and then cancel it and that will fix it.
Might only be a Test Flight thing and I’m sure Will will get it fixed soon once he’s home. But figuring out this workaround has saved me some hassle.
