my friend who took this photo thought I was completely crazy.

I told him I was gonna be a famous artist…

Bitcoin just formed a nostrich pattern, which is indicating a start of bullrun with a target of 1M per coin in june.

The problem isn't that you spent $100 of Bitcoin in 2012.

The problem is you didn't produce a surplus of Bitcoin in 2012.

Spending Bitcoin is good.

Just make sure to save more than you spend.

So #Nostr How would you explain a zap to a non Bitcoin person?

I’m trying to explain Zaps to one of my editors for an article I’m writing.

He says we should call them Nostr transactions.. I’m like well firstly no, coz they’re called Zaps.

And they’re more like donations or direct funding. “Transactionl feels funny.

It’s all part of the value4value… economy which I’m now having to explain.

Help?

Oh it’s just so lovely to open my phone and receive zaps

Still can’t get over it

hey #[0] how does the blockstream wallet work with Lightning?. I tried restoring an old key backup but I don't see lightning from the testflight version. Do I need to do something special?

Hey Steven, nice to see you on nostr! 🤙🤝

I'll be going up on the workshop stage at #Nostrica at 11:00am Costa Rica time to talk about Nostr and UX design. I'll talk about:

- How I think about a designer's role in open source

- Lessons learned from the Bitcoin Design Community

- UX issues facing Nostr

- And let's do some jamming in Figma while we're at it

Hmm after re-reading this it is actually a somewhat genius idea. Use encrypted ephemeral events to ask a lightning node to pay an invoice. You could create a CLN plugin that connects to the damus relay, listening for encrypted ephemeral events from your key. This could be separate from your main key.

Then your nostr client only needs to send these encrypted requests to the relay. This also gets around firewall and NAT hole punching issues, since you are using the relay as a way to proxy the connection.

wow!

True scale

I wanted to go so badly but I had already committed to Lightningcon Vietnam ages ago and I tried everything but it was impossible to go to both places. 😭

Next time for sure!

Is it pronounced as a.k.a. win ? 😉

ear infections are the absolute worst and painful. really killing my #nostrica vibe 🌊

Bitcoiners should ignore the attention seeker acting out of ulterior motives.

He's been mostly an unhelpful antagonist of Bitcoin over the past decade. Bitcoin worked just fine despite his best efforts. Being rich doesn't make him better at predicting the future. Ignore.
