Are there any developers out there that would be willing to mentor an software engineering student? I feel like I need some guidance that I don’t feel like I’m getting from my school. I try to talk to them about Bitcoin-related FOSS, but a lot of the guidance I’m given is for traditional paths to big businesses. I don’t want to go down that path as I see so much work that can be done in our space.

Currently, I’ve been trying to find a sponsor (completely free, no costs besides time/guidance) to work on requirements for some type of software that they want to develop. If you’d like to see some of my code in C++/Python, I can send you my GitHub via a DM as I want to keep my Nostr account pseudo-anonymous.

I already have an idea to make a long form, blog-like client for Nostr that would need to implement a new NIP to allow for that event type. I’d like to make this blogging client similar to substack or tumblr, but I have no idea where to start.

In short:

Are you going to delete it? 😂

Proud parent moment. My son wrote this article for a school assignment. 🧡 (Any Zaps earned on this post will be sent to his Muun wallet.)

What is Bitcoin?

There are only 21 million bitcoins. Currently, the price of each coin is worth 23K, but the real price is infinite.

Bitcoin is a digital currency, which means that it exists only in digital form. It was created in 2009 by an anonymous person under the name of Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin is not backed by any government or central bank, and its value depends entirely on people’s belief that it has value.

Bitcoin works on a blockchain, which is a public ledger of all transactions that have ever taken place. The blockchain is distributed across many computers so no single party can control or manipulate the system. Each transaction must be verified and approved by the network before it can be added to the ledger.

Bitcoin is a digital currency, which means that it uses no physical money to be transferred. Bitcoin is decentralized, meaning that there is no central authority or bank that controls the money. Instead, all transactions are made through a peer-to-peer network of computers.

Bitcoin is a digital currency that can be used to buy goods and services or held as an investment.

What is bitcoin mining

Bitcoin mining is the process by which new bitcoins are created. Mining requires special computer hardware and software as well as knowledge of technical specifications. Miners compete with each other to solve a puzzle which is 67 digits long in order to verify transactions and earn bitcoins for their efforts. This process also creates new competition among miners.

Mining started out as a way for early adopters to get Bitcoins at no cost but has since evolved into a business with specialized hardware and large-scale operations that consumes lots of energy.

Why is bitcoin better than banks?

The idea behind bitcoin is that it should have no centralized authority like a bank or government controlling its creation or its value. This decentralized nature makes bitcoin appealing to some people who don’t trust banks, governments, etc.

Bitcoin is better than banks because banks can print and make their own money out of thin air. This makes their currency worth less. Bitcoin has a fixed amount and will only get more value over time because it is digitally scarce.

Bitcoin is good for the world because it allows people to save that were never able to save before.

“…but the real price is infinite.”

Just waiting for the rest of Bitcoiners to mosey on over to Nostr so that I can permanently delete the Blue Bird app.

Is she trying to say that she is “bearing fruit” this Valentine’s Day? Congratulations! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Asked the lady at the Poke bowl spot to make me the Valentine’s Day Singles Special: Two bowls and I eat them both.

Later I asked for Boba Tea 🧋 and she said the special includes a shot of vodka.

The amount of Bitcoin education and camaraderie I’ve received and experienced here on Nostr has been astounding. It’s been like drinking straight from the fire hose of information. Thank you all for the interactions we’ve shared together. You’re all my Valentine this year. 🌹

Here’s a gif of me going straight to the source:

If I had bought $1 of bitcoin a decade ago, I would have lost it in the trash.

Oh, you’re the one slinging those 69 sats around. I bet you do that to everyone on Nostr, huh? I thought I was special.

Was not expecting Valentine’s Day 2023 to get spicy. 🌶️ 🥵

On #[0]’s podcast. Always finding the best dad jokes. 😂
