⚡ Reply to this note that you’re *IN* for the party to get a zap! ⚡

🟧 🎉 Get into Saturday’s #BlockParty via direct buys of hashrate and/or hooking up your home miner. ⛏️

https://upendo.rigly.io/

🔸 Fully gamified

🔸 Charity angle, if you so choose!

You only need 17 sats to join, but you can buy hashrate as many times as you want. There’s plenty of hashrate to go around and EVERY HASH COUNTS!

There are currently 3 Bitcoin charities signed up, since we love to give back:

If you choose one of them as your team, then they receive 10% of your reward if/when we hit a block. Wouldn’t that be cool?

Officially IN!

When next block party? And when block hit?

How does UBI work in a Bitcoin standard, i.e. who's going to actually pay for it and how?

Europe lives in a dream outside of history. European countries are going to have go wake up sooner or later and confront the harsh truth of reality

What about really long Bitcoin and ignoring MSTR and other treasury companies? If these companies all want Bitcoin, why should I want to own these companies instead of owning Bitcoin directly?

They're literally telling me where the value is, i.e. not in their businesses

I think attention is the currency of life, because you can choose how to spend it: what you are paying attention to?

Nostr has never gotten as decentralized and censorship-resistant as the plethora of javascript-free onion services you can post on with Tor.

Nostr has never even had a single javascript-free onion service, let alone a diverse range of separately-rehosted options, let alone a diverse range of separately-made-and-maintained options like you have with random Tor sites.

The deal on nostr for a long time has been that you're supposed to expect it to get better in the future and end up beating these onion services, starting with an interconnected network as the main advantage.

Instead of a bunch of isolated sites sprinkled around without connecting to each other, you have "relay servers" and "clients" that are supposed to see each other's posts. Today's early version creates more problems than it solves, with most of the devs relying on GitHub and shit like that, but starting with an interconnected network is supposed to lead to solving more problems in the future, including integration with Tor itself, allowing nostr to finally break even with and then pull ahead of the plethora of JavaScript-free onion services that don't connect to each other.

Sadly, nostr so far is basically just a scam. People with actual intent to make it work have never been able to make progress anywhere near as fast as the central crew of nostr grifters pumping out broken shit, and the horde of zombie nostr users that prefer broken shit anyway. We're still waiting to see if there are enough functioning adults interested in software development and social media to eventually gather a serious number here.

Lately, people seem to be fragmenting the "relay server" network so that it becomes the exact same thing as an array of random sites that don't connect to each other. This is an extreme low point for the one advantage nostr ever had over random Tor forums.

Fiatjaf recently made this post driving this issue to get worse, but he framed it as being about "not following anyone" so that it might slip past me unnoticed, because I've been using nostr for over a year without following anyone.

I usually use nostr with a global view that's just a direct feed of relays, so fiatjaf's post would be easy for me to mistake as just promoting my way of nostring without crediting me, which would be fine, but I don't think that's it.

I think he was actually implying more people should join in being like "fuck decentralization, let's have nostr just be a honeypot of random JavaScript-based message boards pretending to offer some kind of censorship resistance for people who don't know enough about Tor to use something better."

Interesting post, but I feel like I didn't really understand its meaning fully. What's the core of your argument in a sentence or two? Thanks

If the IMF is so concerned about market distortions, how about starting by removing fiat money? That's a pretty market distorting thing

I'd like to see this implemented in all major central banks' offices: committee members would meet underneath the block, and whenever their forecast don't match up, one of the threads gets cut.

I'm not sure whether this is a critique on his part, or merely a statement. Think about his "masterly manipulation" quote

Can someone explain to me why Ark is considered to be a trustless L2 given that VTXOs which are in a pre-confirmed state do not allow for a unilateral exit to the main chain without going through a batch swap first (which inherently relies on the Ark operator) ?

They always go together, it's almost inevitable. What matters for the rest of us is reminding ourselves that we're only passing through the mines, otherwise we risk falling for the fiat games.

Fiat debt used to buy Bitcoin is literally the best way to short the fiat ponzi game, provided one has the ability to withstand volatility without being burned.

Why do you suggest keeping away from fiat debt, other then playing it safe?

How to explain this stuff to the average person? I feel that bridging the gap is very hard, since the very basic understanding of how society works from an economic standpoint seems to be totally missing and the willingness to carefully listen to these arguments is definitely missing in a lot of cases, since people might be relatively comfortable in their fiat lifes

I see what you mean (the number 5 is green)

I think it's a very interesting worldview, it basically tries to make a very rational case that we are all *in* consciousness, and that reality is fundamentally a field of subjectivity

This could actually happen IRL for example in Italy, where the name "Assunta" literally means hired 😅
