Ahh thx for that. Prob another week or two all-in. We'll see. Charts aren't doing anything until Christmas anyways.

Good to see you on Nostr. It's still super janky. Like early Bitcoin days. But the more other platforms ban, the more this place grows.

Ahh! Gotcha. Much easier to get that stuff off. Ya way less fumes too. Basically none.

Oh no way. Painted concrete floor? Or had to remove? Water based or oil/PU? (PU has fumes)

Moral of the story: Always test your paint first.

Especially if it's heavy duty like PU. And it's going on something you don't wanna have to remove.

Yup, and of course it's heating season here. Down to -20C overnight.

So run HVAC and disturb dust and choke yourself out.

Or freeze. lol Pick your poison.

Bear with me for being scant on here and Twitter. Personal shit ongoing.

Close to a month ago, I painted my basement floor with polyurethane, to touch up a few waterproof patches. Simple 2hr project. (Ya right.)

The paint never cured. Even after a week. Bad batch from factory.

So it had to come off. After 10hr of scraping (and I'm in no physical condition to scrape to begin with), I threw in the towel and rented a concrete grinder with shroud + vac.

The grinder worked good. But the vacuum was utter shit. Kept plugging. So dust went everywhere throughout the house. Upstairs too. About 100lb of concrete dust came off that floor. Fine like flour. (Yes I wore a respirator. And built an air scrubber.)

But as you likely know, Silica dust ain't good. In some ways, it's the new asbestos. So now to get rid of it, every up facing surface of the house has to be cleaned, HEPA vacuumed, wet cleaned. Every household item, wire, pipe, vent, etc. Arduous.

I did have the air tested. Circulating "respirable particulate" isn't too bad, so our exposure is "occupationally acceptable" while we clean. But of course, the longer the duration, the higher the exposure. So clean faster. Easy to say when you haven't run a marathon already. We're about 1/3 done cleaning so far. Ish.

And amid all of that I got banned on LinkedIn. So I can't contact everyone to notify. I'm alive. For now. 🤣 And yes it's really me.

So bear with me as I sort this BS out. Then recover. I'll be back to posting charts and try to gnaw off some Nostr contributions too. To those who followed from LinkedIn, thank you. Appreciate you. Genuinely.

Good morning from the LinkedIn Gulag!

True, I agree. Could be solved via a "check duplicate clients" function.

Users are 8yr olds. Asking them to download 5 different things (client, relay, messenger, etc) just overwhelms them and causes abandonment. They want easy, turnkey, and everything done for them automatically. With options for further customization.

If you're going to build something disruptive: Commit.

Build the arsenal around you to fend off any threat, no matter the size. If you're not willing to fight that war, then don't start at all.

I know a thing or 2 about this level of disruption too. Won't elaborate.

Canada's NSA/CIA. (Was throwing shade at UTXO, not you lol on your side)

Are these signers built for the user, or the client?

As in, are they meant so the user can keep, store, remember, and retrieve their NSEC safely?

Or are they meant for clients to safeguard/encrypt the NSEC's of their users, to prevent them getting in the wrong hands?

Isn't that the dude who backed down from CSIS?

Yup, yup it is. Talks a big game for a coward.
