hmmm... there was a time when it would just error out after a paste. Now it seems to be working. So I thought it got an update or something.

Successful manual reproducible build for Phoenix Bitcoin Wallet (fr.acinq.phoenix.mainnet) v2.3.9

wen nosbin url shortener?

Liking whatever update you did with nosbin btw, I use it a lot. Good job

I seem to have managed to build v2.3.9 of Phoenix Wallet, with minimal diffs:

Now, it's just a matter of duplicating this and documenting my findings.

nostr:npub1gm7tuvr9atc6u7q3gevjfeyfyvmrlul4y67k7u7hcxztz67ceexs078rf6 said that nostrudel is a good client. Trying it out, as satellite.earth and primal.net aren't doing it for me right now. So far so good. Although, minty green isn't really my color...

The web started out decentralized—everyone could read and write to it. The first client was a browser/editor, but the editing part was stripped out by VCs, taking decentralization with it.

Some, including the web's creator, have spent decades trying to re-decentralize the web. That’s the heart of the Solid project. It’s more than just personal storage—it's about giving everyone ownership of their piece of the web, like a giant super-Wikipedia with apps. The goal is a full web operating system under user control—not easy, but doable.

Nostr isn’t the whole answer, but it can be part of the solution. Nostr isn't meant for data storage, just relaying notes, etc., between users. What I’m adding to Solid is the ability to sign in with your public key—like your Nostr identity. This could give every Nostr user access to storage and apps. Solid always had public key sign-in, but that got squashed by the big browser vendors.

The other missing piece is payments. Payments are critical for all kinds of things, and once you have PKI, adding payments and wallets isn’t hard. But Nostr still lacks proper wallets, which is a big missed opportunity.

Lastly, we need time-based proofs. If you ask, "what’s my latest profile on Nostr?"—it’s not a simple question. Profiles get nerfed by different clients. But we can use Bitcoin’s time chain to lock in the latest version of anything, solving this coordination issue.

Govt itself is an operating system of sorts, designed for societal coordination. A decentralized web OS could provide the same for humanity, enabling people to own their labor and have virtual assistants serve and protect them. We’re close to making that vision a reality, using the tools we’ve built to create an open future.

Thanks for sharing Melvin

water? bubble?

j/k. I get it. Been thinking about this. Thinking of leaving our farm here in the Philippines. Selling for bitcoin. Then move to someplace more peaceful. New Zealand. Australia.

We inherited it. And to be honest about it. Sometimes inheritances can be a prison and a blessing at the same time. So, yeah, that's my bubble.

On the other hand, I got an autistic daughter, and if I/we migrate, I'm not so sure we could bring her. I dread, the thought of dying here.

Sad Irony.

My wife would always tell me to not eat or drink certain foods, because 'Doc Willie says this is bad'. Now, I do not gloat, and I am genuinely sad to hear this. But now, Doc Willie has cancer...

isn't it strange that we have all the ingredients to make life good for all -OR- the capacity to destroy everyone

Great job team!

I just put 6 children to school, through my work.

And this is just the beginning.

Many things running through my mind. Some I cannot mention.

The idea just sunk in. 6 kids.

On twitter, elon and some of the other bitcoiners keep saying have lots of children. I think in their corner of the galaxy, good education is free. Here, we have to pay for it. Otherwise, the kids would be stuffed in classrooms in a dysfunctional government run system.

Education - good education, is the only ticket for the kids getting out of a dysfunctional country.

Gotta keep grinding.
