Someone asked me today “what is the point of Bitcoin?”

How would you respond in one sentence without using any technical jargon, buzzwords, or clichés?

I just do it yolo, but basically use the green pumpkin type, cook it long with lemon peels, cynamon sticks and at the end add orange grated peel and juice, brown sugar as much as your preferred sweetness taste.

Optionally add also vanilla sticks and almonds or wallnuts.

Cook the jars in boiling water before filling and keep them upside down once filled.

Good luck ;)

GM! I just found something interesting from a talk about software complexity. The talk is "Why Can't We Make Simple Software? - Peter van Hardenberg"

"In general my advice to someone who's built a lot of high-scale production systems through many orders of magnitude is that it's as harmful to build for the system of the future as it is to build an insufficient system for the present.

If you build the tools for 100 million users when you have a hundred users they're going to be completely unusable too and you're going to waste so much time trying to solve problems you don't have yet that you're going to miss out on all the benefits of being able to just look at all your users and see who they are and talk to them, right?"

Saw the surface of Jupiter through a telescope. Amazing. 😻

What are the best tools and practices for creating backup copy of my content on Nostr?

In the hospital with the birth of our first daughter. Any advice from you experienced girl dads?

They should, but that doesn't mean they:

- write nip-65 to as much relays as possible

- have such relays as purplepag.es in their default relay list which gets used for nip-65 discovery.

Aggregators help a bit, but we should rely on them to make this work.

I still prefer that my nip-65 does not get overwritten without my explicit action on some stupid client.

For outbox model and for people you follow that you can't find a relay list for (BTW you should also check kind 3 and nip05 relay lists as a fallback) I would simply use a default list for the outbox calculation, but still wouldn't force a broadcast with a newer timestamp and that specific client chosen default list.

Relay lists should be distributed to as many relays as possible by clients. There are also some aggregators that crawl the network for those events and store them (purplepag.es, profiles.nos.social and nostr.band), if they don't have the relay list is likely because a user hasn't published any.

> Why do you think they should create one?

To make the outbox model work in practice we need people to have relay lists.

I'm seeing some users without NIP-65 relay lists. Clients should create one with their default relays and publish it when they find this situation, no?

What on earth are Android devs doing to get a 100+ MB APK? 🤔

Borderline disrespectful to users

TIL season 2 is out now, thanks!

This is how I like getting my "news". randomly, from organic conversations between people I "know". Not from ads or algorithms or mass broadcast or targeted social media bullshit.

I’m on episode 2 of season 1 so I don’t know
