One among many. Learner, builder, walker and creator of Open Librarian.

I’ve a catch up call with some buddies one thing I plan on highlighting is all the work of going into making easy for new businesses to start, with:

- BDK

- LDK

- PDK

- NDK

- MDK

This is really bullish IMO as it shows we’re standardising the starting points and opening the door to building business logic across privacy, payment, savings, communication and energy…..love to see it!!

Another boring week in Bitcoin / Lightning where nothing is happening…

Follow some of my favourite projects on https://www.gitlurker.info/

Not US citizens but family. I’m not convinced he is good for Bitcoin. But the alternatives aren’t great either. His stance on vaccines and autism is pretty bullshit. I’m not defending big pharma or govs and the handling of covid. My specific gripe is in the lack of scientific evidence to substantiate this specific claim.

As Bitcoiners we need to be careful we don’t fall for this notion that we want to support on single issue voting.

Let’s see how it turns out though, I’ll give him a shot if he can show he has more depth than just Bitcoin.

Another quiet week where #NothingIsHappeningInBitcoin, check out the latest updates in for a bunch of recent release for Bitcoin projects on GitLurker: https://www.gitlurker.info/

GM nostr, feeling super bullish on the recent news from nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 and release by nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg. 🔥

Whoever said that nothing was happening in Bitcoin(and adjacent) development?!?

Have at it folks, get involved, track just some of the many developments over on https://www.gitlurker.info/

Or fork and make your own site: https://github.com/the-git-lurker/gitlurker

Shout out to all the devs in the Bitcoin/Lightning/Nostr space continuously shipping. Apparently there is #NothingHappeningInBitcoin, but if there were, this may be what a subset of projects from the last 7 days would look like.

You can lurk where I lurk (or suggest other projects) here: https://www.gitlurker.info/

#CashU #MutinyWallet #BlueWallet #LND #LNDg

No can do. Just spent time teaching myself Python. Apparently apparently my years of SAS, R, SQL(through SAS) and VBA were not useful in this industry so had to go back to basics. Thankfully how you approach programming is pretty universal.

Shillers are gonna shill. Jerks are gonna circle jerk.

They haven’t even scratched the surface of what is happening in the Bitcoin (and extended projects; lightning ⚡️, 🟪🐦) development space.

Vitalik’s only advice should be “Don’t do what Ethereum does and never sacrifice decentralisation and censorship resistance.”

No thanks keep your scams to yourself.

Built a new website for tracking releases of FOSS projects on GitHub.

https://www.gitlurker.info/

Mostly for practice, but also practicality of having all latest releases info in one place.

Feedback welcome.

A little over done but you get 10 extra points for using a cast iron pan.

Recently was asked by a ‘crypto’ dude to give a good sales pitch for Bitcoin. His initial question was “what is is going to do for the average Joe?”. To which I replied the fact that it exists is great for us, but it will do a lot more for the other 6 billion.
