The greatest memories I’ve made are the ones I can’t remember.

I read (listened to) the first 4 chapters today 🤣🤣

Why did I read this book?

I’ve seen it mentioned often, and as a student of finance and all things BTC I thought it would be helpful to glean new insights, and I hadn’t read it before.

What am I hoping to learn?

Anything I don’t already know. You don’t know what you don’t know. It already gave me a clearer picture of stock to flow, and how that works.

I have a pretty decent understanding of money and how it works, so much of this is review for me, but I appreciate the reinforcement of things I’ve heard/learned elsewhere.

Money = medium of exchange

ANYTHING can be a token of value, to be used as a medium of exchange. The trick is making it useful through time/space/exchange.

I wish this was the way it was taught in school.

I am really enjoying the book so far, and I’m looking forward to learning more and seeing everyone else’s responses.

Mining Bitcoin with excess solar power at my yurt. System is 975w of panels on a 24v system with a 225ah battery bank. (Adding another 300w panel soon which will max out the 60a charge controller)

I'm currently using an M29 (whatsminer m20 hashboards in a S9 enclosure) with 2 of the hashboards unplugged to reduce the power consumption down to ~600w. On a clear sunny day I can mine for 5-6hrs.

Today, I started using the airflow and heat generated by the miner to help evaporate liquids in the collection tank of the composting toilet at the outhouse. The toilet system had an option to add electric evaporators but using a Bitcoin miner instead was worth a shot. Hard to beat hashing from the sun and getting some extra use out of the airflow and heat the same time! #plebminer #bitcoinmining #permies #permaculture #homesteading #grownostr #solarpower #offgrid #yurt #bitcoin #stackingfuntions

Today was the 6 year olds turn for dedicated time with Dad. She opted for hair salon. I wasn't happy with how it turned out, she said she liked it but didn't leave a tip so 🤷🏻‍♂️

We also had a whittling lesson talk about nerve wracking.

#NostrBookClub starts today!

📚 Week 0 📚 The Bitcoin Standard by Saifedean Ammous

To kick it off, here's this week's discussion question:

Why do you want to read this book? What're you hoping to learn? I'll tag and feature some responses in next week's post!

Happy reading this week and there will be a discussion question on Chapter 1 next Wednesday 26th! 🤓

I started this as a project to help me get through reading the book in a reasonable time so it will be fairly fast paced at one chapter a week. For more background info on this book club project, check out my previous note

my flower pile grows!

the colors in the yarn is super fun so I'm flowing along with what it wants to be. maybe seat cushion? cute mini tote?

I'm making a nostr book club, details below! 🔽

About a week ago, I posted my funny story about reading The Bitcoin Standard. I'm here to announce that I've finished the last 9% ...

...of the sample.

This means that it is time for me to read the actual book. If the sample took me 6 months, I don't even want to think about how long it'll take me to read the whole book. years? 😭

I need a game plan to push me through this book. It is going to be difficult for me to do it alone.

Who wants to join me in a nostr book club? We can read a chapter a week and have a little discussion thread here on nostr every Wednesday.

Even though I've already read chapter 1 and bits of chapter 2. We'll start at chapter 1. It's been such a long time since I started reading so I'm due for a refresher.

I think it'll be fun, even if it ends up with just me having discussions with myself.

Gm & Pv nostr 🌞☕️

First note from something besides Damus. Anyone care to take a guess?

Timing is also key, depends on what plebs are around when you post. I like to use primal.net to go snoop differently from time to time.

every nostr client needs to implement the same 3-very-complex things, 17-mildly-complex things and 89-simple-but-annoying things

that, on top of naming the client which is it's own massively complex undertaking 😂

ndk.fyi aims to provide this functionality transparently to make writing well-behaved/performant clients easier

Adam would zap this
