Just a humble user of #Bitcoin and #TheNostr, exploring and learning! #Austrich

Paying high fees on the Bitcoin network, $100

Remembering that I'm a miner, priceless.

I hosted my own relay for personal use, but then other nostr uses started posting to it. It became so popular that I exceeded the quotas on my VPS and had to shut it down. Does anyone have a solution to that? Is there a configuration where I can whitelist only my pubkey?

2021 was the peak for statism in the west. Too many people have now seen behind the curtain. As their fiat fails them so their power will wane.

They could try to WW3 their way out, but I think infighting, insular nationalism, and "looting the Treasury" will keep every state too internally focused to carry out any big conflict. Yes regional conflicts will escalate (Ukraine, Palestine, Taiwan) as the US world police take a back seat, but the real question is what next?

Will Bitcoiner libertarian anarcho capitalism prevail, to separate money and state? Or will the WEF one world government overpower state sovereignty with fearmongering plays like the WHO?

If anything troubles me, it's this: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." As both Bitcoiners and the WEF fight the state, together but from opposite ideologies, we share an enemy. Does that make us friends? Does one of us corrupt or capture the other?

Why is Blackrock so interested in Bitcoin?

What happens once they propose their first UASF?

You can't taper a ponzi

"Preventing the top opposition party candidate from contesting the election is necessary to protect democracy" 🤡🌎

6+ BTC in fees per block changes the equation. I had been planning for 3.125 subsidy after the halving, now looking at 9 or 10 or more in combined subsidy and fees, a casual 3X more revenue than I was expecting. Wondering whether to buy some more hashrate.

Vs lol lmao

Meanwhile in a parallel universe, tx remain free.

Just mined a block with more fees than subsidy. Feelsgoodman.gif

Already my absolute favorite part of the bull market is the people who kept receipts. All the gross and dismal bears proclaiming they were right, #bitcoin really was a scam all along, now retweeted and ratioed and we're only just getting started. Years of this ahead.

Must remember to stay humble.

Just don't fucking dance.

Idea: Nicehash on Nostr. Get fresh sats straight from a miner, pay lightning and receive on chain. Client creates NIP-90 requests for hashrate at a price. Agents respond with invoices. User pays invoice. Agent points pool url to client's pool user for the paid period of time. Nice alternative to mixing.
