You know what show ended right when it should have?
Breaking Bad, of course.

What is your opinion on The Sopranos?
"Speculative" energy money is a decent analogy imo.
Shitcoins are only for speculating, and if shares are a shitcoin, might as well speculate on them.
My friend built a strategy called Military Incremental Complex, which just launched on Steam today. You can build up your army by making bullets by hand, then with machines, and then upgrading to entire factories. It's pretty fun and there's a ton of content in it.
Check it out!

Nope, didn't come up. Honestly I think most of those business can only use AI that is approved by their leadership. Perhaps a good opportunity for nostr:nprofile1qqs8msutuusu385l6wpdzf2473d2zlh750yfayfseqwryr6mfazqvmgpy4mhxue69uhkvet9v3ejumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtm0d4hxjh6lwejkuar4wfjhxqfswaehxw309a5hgcmg0ykkwmmvv3jkuun0vskkvatjvdhkuargdacxsct8w4ejuumrv9exzc3wd9kj7nfu4p9 though
That would have been interesting. Sadly the word "license" was also not mentioned at all either lol
I went to a local "Open Source" happy hour this evening.
There was panel on how "AI is impacting enterprises" and they mostly focused on the dangers of how AI might take everyone's job. Lots of discussion about enterprises, board members asking about "AI Strategy", and how to impose guardrails for safe AI use.
Umm what exactly does that have to do with Open Source Software?
I don't think any of the panelists mentioned the words "open source" once.
Frankly not surprising, but still eye opening to see the disconnect that the Bitcoin ecosystem has from the broader tech community.
Open source is more than just dumping code on the internet.
I didn't select anything, not sure if the server did though

Unfortunately not currently supported, you can make a new one though. We'll see if we can fix that in an upcoming update.
Fedimint can do this pretty easily since it supports onchain. We have this in Ecash App https://ecash.love
Been a long time (~10 years) since I've looked at any graph database, and I've never used Neo4j (I remember fighting with Giraph though, had a hell of a time getting that to compile).
I like this paper's assessment of graph databases: https://db.cs.cmu.edu/papers/2024/whatgoesaround-sigmodrec2024.pdf
TLDR is graph databases do have some performance optimizations over RDBMS due to the storage layout and optimized algorithms for common queries (shortest, ancestors, etc), but ultimately you can also represent a graph as a collection of tables. Recently some RDBMS systems have been adding graph-like query languages and have been optimizing joins for graph queries and they have been claiming better performance.
If you're not doing large OLAP queries or using it for other purposes, Neo4j seems like a pretty good fit for a Nostr relay.
I'm curious what Nostr thinks of privacy vs auditability in ecash mints.
In Fedimint, all of the Bitcoin is held in an onchain multisig that is controlled by the guardians. In most deployments, this is a 3/4 (but it can be larger), which makes it painfully obvious onchain to third party observers. The UTXOs that a federation controls is also not private, they can be found by scanning the mint's history (which is public). This can be seen on https://observer.fedimint.org/ or using Ecash App (https://ecash.love). I think it is a nice feature to be able to see onchain all of the UTXOs that a federation holds (this could make something like proof of reserves easier).
Now, in a world where Fedimint has a taproot wallet (instead of P2WSH) and can use FROST/ROAST to sign peg-out transactions, it is no longer obvious onchain to third party observers which UTXOs correspond to a federation, since they can be spent using the keypath which looks like a normal taproot single-sig spend. However, as mentioned above, the UTXOs for the federation are still public, so a "fedimint-aware" third party adversary could still scan the mint's history and figure out the UTXOs.
I suppose we could come up with a scheme to keep peg-in UTXOs private from third party adversaries, which (with FROST) would have the benefit that it would be really hard to use onchain data and mint history to determine if a user is using a Fedimint. But this would come at the cost of easy auditability.
Fantastic TabConf. Sad I had to leave early.
My favorite moment was when someone asked nostr:nprofile1qqszrqlfgavys8g0zf8mmy79dn92ghn723wwawx49py0nqjn7jtmjagppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qy08wumn8ghj7mn0wd68yttsw43zuam9d3kx7unyv4ezumn9wshsud80st what his go to market strategy was
Pumped for TabConf this week! I'm giving a workshop tomorrow at 12:30pm demoing Fedimint + Iroh. We will be setting up Mutinynet federations using Android phones. If you're there stop in and say hi!
We have this in Ecash App (fedimint, not cashu though)
Landing page for https://ecash.love just got a face lift. Go check it out!
Just submitted a talk/workshop for TabConf! Give an upvote if you want to see it. Hope to see everyone in Atlanta
