My wife and I are both only children; our children will suffer this fate.
Typescript with NDK would be a path forward
Satoshis are the unit in software and are an integer, so this doesn’t really make sense. In order to continue you would need to increase the total number of satoshi in the system. This is basically a stock split and would be used incredibly difficult if not impossible to coordinate. Can you imagine? Tick tock next block.
So he has zero bitcoin and only IOUs?
I just also hit the vape; if I get sats I will hit it again.
Hard to know an amount but if the only avenues for trade are exchanges and ETFs, it’s easy to assume that “infinite liquidity” and dark pools could and would inhibit price discovery as is what happens often in traditional markets.
I’m not NVK but I remember the Bitwise CEO saying how they want to self custody but like everyone else, they needed to go with the “vetted” custody solution that was already in place in order to get ETF approval on the same day as others.
Welcome to the shittiest club on Earth friend. ❤️
Marty, I’ve been listening to you writhe and wiggle for weeks about your inability to define what you mean by “super cycle”. It’s exhausting.
May I attempt to clear the air for you?
Given that data shows this cycle, thus far, has been driven by the demand of “institutional” level participants, not retail, coupled with the ever diminishing effect that the halving has on supply and the ever increasing market cap…a super cycle would imply that the traditional retail explosion and subsequent extreme drawdowns that happy every four years have come to and end.
I’m not saying I agree with this, but this is how I interpret your nonsense.

For the love, read Mandibles already.
Excellent evening with the Mrs. After some tasty baos and kimchi fried rice, we stumbled into an expansive used book store where I found the only copy of Mandibles, something I’ve been looking to get without having to buy from Amazon or B&N. Next door at a vintage record shop I scooped up an original Nirvana Uplugged New York cassette. 100K all day and Satoshi is smiling on me.
Telling myself remember to stay humble.
Same. Tried but it never captured my attention.

Tell that to Satoshi
OK, past few days were quite wild. I am currenly in El Salvador because I was attending the Adopting Bitcoin conference. My very limited internet connection here made it quite difficult to engage, I mostly just got push notifications. Hereby I want to take the opportunity to tell the story from my side.
TL;DR: We were just having fun, we thought it was okay. Apperently it's not and nvk is is so upset that he felt he had to file a GitHub takedown request. I feel that's not how bitcoiners behave.
### How it started
I have been working on the #BTClock since April '23. It started of some sort of bet where I challenged myself to make a BTC ticker as cheap as possible. I just ordered seven eInk displays on AliExpress with the intention of showing information related to bitcoin using an ESP32.
Why seven? Because the words BITCOIN and SATOSHI both consist of seven letters and connecting more screens to the ESP32 did not seem possible without adding I/O-port expanders.
Yes. The idea was inspired (among other projects) by Blockclock, which also uses eInk displays. I don't own one, so I couldn't "reverse engineer" or use any direct inspiration of it but the way you can combine multiple eInk displays to display information in an useful way is very limited.
After getting the schematic right. I created a 3D printable case for it (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6009628) and named it BTClock after someone's idea in the Dutch Noderunners community. Since it consists of seven characters I thought it's the perfect name since it fits the seven displays too.

### May 2023
This allows you to create a BTClock for ±70 euro (if you own a 3D printer).
I shared the progress of the project in the MakerBits telegram group. Ben Arc checked with nvk how he felt about it, and I have seen his responsse where he replied with that he felt honored and that I should go ahead. In hindsight, I should've asked Ben to forward this to me but I wouldn't expect this to "haunt" me like it did last week.
After sharing the very spaghetti-y schematic in some Telegram groups, someone replied that he was working on making an actual PCB out of it. After some DM'ing back and forth we got our first PCB prototype that needed some work. After 4 iterations we finally got it how we wanted and were able to sell DIY kits. The PCB is real artwork, so we wanted to show it off. Therefore we added a acrylic backplate to be able to protect it while still able to see the proof-of-work by Madbo, the PCB artwork designer. We used a lot of through hole components to make it accesible for anyone who has a soldering iron.
### August 2023
In August 2023 we finally got the kits ready, while the initial plan was to only sell the DIY kit within the Dutch Noderunners community, I brought smoe with me to Baltic Honeybadger '23 as well, where it proved to be pretty succesful while sitting next to Ben in the chilling lounge.
I got a lot of encouraging and positive remarks about the project, including Daniel Prince (@princeysov) who tweeted about this (https://x.com/Princey21M/status/1698257536418267624).
It appeared that this tweet firstly poked the lion, since nvk sent some of his coinkite employees to me after this tweet, a group of 4 people asked a lot of questions while filming me (without my consent, I didn't realize this when they were asking it but when they walked away it was clear to see the iPhone was recording video).
Not a lot later, nvk sent out a tweet which was clearly about the BTClock project without explicitly mentioning the name (https://x.com/nvk/status/1698423362819682400)
However, in my opinion this did still fit the message I read he wrote to Ben that he was more flattered than upset. It was only then when I learned about how he reacted to Foundation Passport and how he behaves regarding the SeedSigner project.
### March 2024
During Bitcoin Atlantis in March 2024, there was a nice space for the MakerBits projects including the BTClock, the software by this time has many improvements, including real-time new block notifications by utilizing the Mempool.space Websocket API. Since the hardware is also open source, many alternative faceplates are available including a stainless steel one and a completely white one. Multiple people witnessed nvk walking passed the maker space while looking at me, but he did not engage or whatsoever. I would expect if he would take offense by the product, he would've approached me by now but he didn't. He does know who I am though, both in real-life and I'm posting enough on my social media accounts (Nostr and Xitter) to find me there as well.
### Fast forward to November 2024
A lot has happened in the development of the BTClock, among other things I added a BitAxe integration and Nostr Zap Notifications to the software and we managed to add frontlight to the eInk displays which I really think sets the BTClock apart from other "tickers" like the Blockclock mini.
The Blockclock mini hasn't had any updates for two years (since October 3rd, 2022) which seems to be like the Blockclick mini can be considered end-of-life.
I therefore was very suprised that when I woke up on November 14th, I received an e-mail that the BTClock GitHub organization was flagged because of alleged trademark infringement of the BTClock.
This was according to a report by Coinkite to GitHub. The letter I shared in the MakerBits Telegram group was ONLY sent to GitHub, not to me (although I haven't been home for a while so I don't know something is waiting in my physical mailbox).
Luckily git is decentralized version control and there are already mirrors of the hardware and software source available. Also GitHub allows me to appeal but haven't taken the chance to do so.
Although I do understand that the concept of trademarks exists for a reason, I feel this a very cowardly move and certainly not something that I would expect from fellow bitcoiners. Just sending me a DM on Nostr, X or Telegram is the least I would expect. I don't mean to offend or infringe, and would be happy to discuss options if open to it. Either in DM or out in the open.
I'm all about transparency so nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8 here is my invitation to discuss this out in the open. I'm sorry that we seem to upset you. what is it that bothers you, can we find a way to let the projects co-exist? Or even see if the BTClock software can adapted to your Blockclock mini hardware.
People really like to misunderstand the “ethos” of open source as some hippy utopia ideal. You clearly ripped off the block clock, which may not have been your intention but is clear nonetheless. Having legal action against you is purely the business protecting itself and if the situations/timelines were reversed, you’d be doing the same, or you’re dumb (clearly not given the proof of work).
Sounds like you started a competition and then got butt hurt when your competition fought back.
I use to love nostr and now it feels like I just come online to a bunch of whiney bitches complaining.
@nvk your clock is too expensive.
It doesn’t seem like you would be using push or pop functionality so I’d keep it simple with a string value. You mention list seems more appropriate but I reckon you can view your walk as a constant instead of an order list and then string does become more appropriate.
Today I paid my mother’s nursing home:
660,000 pesos 🇦🇷 (around $538 or 799k sats)
The % of increase in pesos was 6.45% since last month (the increases are monthly like everything here due to the inflation) 😢
Thank you very much to everyone for your help! 🫂💜 I really appreciate every sat I receive 🙏
This month she has been there for 2 years! And her quality of life has improved tremendously since she is there.
