I'm into Linux,self-hosting, kubernetes, and Amateur Radio. You'll find me soldering, tinkering, and linuxing for the common good.

Had a great time at #NosVegas catching the signal through the noise. I also learned about Local #lasvegas bitcoin meetups. I had know idea there was a community here. Thanks nostr:nprofile1qqsv70n9hscapseh5xcpjj4e4quxxreu6s35hspgmgczsufcsvhm4sqprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap0qy2hwumn8ghj7am0wshxw6tjd9hx7tn0wfnj72dl23f

Good tunes. Good time.

Recycling nightmare. Bet some of that stuff is totally usable still.

Once you have the junk out and are vulnerable do people approach with knives, pens and paper to extract your keywords, one precious jewel at a time?

I plan to be at the #NosVegas after hours event. The conference scene isnt for me.

I understand Bitcoin asks us to strongly consider the effects of the fiat monetary system we currently operate under and move toward actively separating ourselves from it, by adopting a Bitcoin Standard.

The more I study, the more I realize it’s less about BTC and more about time preference.

Granted if one remains on a fiat standard, saving broken money, the fiat erosion will outpace the typical rate we are able to save. Especially considering all other erosion such as taxes, etc…

Thus, a new system is required. A system that aligns with low time preference and proof of work.

As stated in Thank God for Bitcoin:

“The goal is to create a world more aligned with God to the benefit of others, not to seek meaning in material wealth. If monetary gain becomes our goal and focus, we have already lost...Whatever wealth we get from Bitcoin is only useful to God if we use it to love God and our neighbors. Good money is a gift that can help us be better, but it is not an end in and of itself.”

It seems to me that Bitcoin really only has a price becasue of the existence of fiat. Hence the current fiat exchange rate of 1 BTC = $100k+ and the mantra 1 BTC or sat = 1 BTC or sat…

Let’s for a moment assume the majority of the world is on a Bitcoin Standard; items and services are demonimated in BTC or sats…what then?

Bitcoin becomes a medium of exchange. It truly becomes functional money vs it’s approximate state of being a better money.

What then? Will not prices just inflate denominated in Bitcoin instead of fiat becasue of man’s moral issues with greed?

I guess the answer is, some will…Bitcoin doesn’t purport to fix people with a bad nature. Rather it has the indirect, and arguably direct, benefit of attracting those whom desire to contribute positively to society (their communities).

Which brings me to a question I’d love to hear answers from this community for: If Bitcoin is a gift, which I believe it is, and it’s better money, which I also believe; is it only needed becasue the current fiat system is so dysfunctional?

Furthermore, if Bitcoin only needed as money becasue fiat exists, what happens when the world is on a Bitcoin Standard? There will be no need to measure the price of BTC as 1 BTC will be recognized as 1 BTC..so how will Bitcoin be used as a unit of account? Merely by the proof of work of non-idle hands of the people that transact with it?

You can measure the price of a currency in bread or in screws... How much bread can you get for 15 SATs? I think that's where it eventually goes. The market determines that amount based on the availability of Bitcoin and the availability of bread. A cheaper bread from another supplier drives prices down. A more expensive bread might be purchased because it is more healthy and therefore more valuable. You can measure it in steak or in gold. Its all by the market dynamics.

#Nostr over hf #hamradio when. Turns out we can just build things.

Is it a good idea, idk... But people are already doing relays over BLE... So why not. Worldwide notes without internet...!? Pretty fucking cool if we can pull it off. Its just another way to propogate notes. Censor that!

You've heard of #bitcoin, you've heard of #sats and #bits...

Well, I'm working on a new #NIP.

Have you heard of bigcoin?

There will only ever be 21 bigcoins. This makes it a nice easy number for people to remember. No 0's to worry about. Every #Bigcoin is 1 million Bitcoin, or 1 quadrillion satoshis. Blackrock and Strategy will measure their holdings in bigcoin, making it easier for everyone to understand their dominant market position.

Now let's talk about #op_return again pls. Knot!

Yeah, sounds like it spread far. Then again though, I remember learning that prostate cancer is very prevalent among elderly men, and normally its something else that ends up taking them because it normally grows and spreads so very very slowly. At some point, they stop checking for it because old age will get them first...

The receiver's lightning service at https://speed.app/.well-known/lnurlp/unodog is not available. It was calculated from the lightning address "unodog@speed.app". Error: Forbidden - The user doesn’t have access rights to make the request. Check if the server is up and if the lightning address is correct

From my perspective, even if this OP_RETURN issue isnt as big of a deal (either way) that people are making it out to be... more implementations means more safety from big sweeping changes on the network and protocol level.

I'm pro Knots, not necessarily because of OP_RETURN, but because I think its good for everyone to know that they can't control bitcoin. There must be consensus. For the software, for the protocol, for network as a whole.

Good on you. I am not a fan at all of the so-called UHF connector. TBH I think its a horrible connector for UHF(perhaps OK for HF), it has non-constant impedance, no water protection, is difficult to solder, and probably is of minimal benefit except in high power situations and even that I'm not sure... Ive also more than once had to troubleshoot quite a bit to find it just wasnt screwed on all the way or one of the teeth got stuck so it didnt go in all the way, this even when working with other people for field day and such.

Obviously I have an Axe to grind, but I've moved mostly to BNC at this point.

Is there a way to zap in Amethyst using my 0xChat wallet?

Chocolate Bitcoins for #zapathon

Thanks nostr:nprofile1qqs8l8w08udxwm5um5dj2xerrme7mca53j6nmmver9tf5r944vch6cgpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wghxx6qpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqlgp73y for the chocolate!

Some stands have screwholes and some dont. I had one come with screwholes but no screws, but I found some that fit and its been fine.

Hearken ye, O weary souls of the waking world, for it hath been foretold since the age of shadow and slumber — yea, from the time before time — about the coming of the Coffee.

Lo, in the days of drear and dim eye, when minds be clouded and tongues heavy with the silence of unrest, there shall arise a draught most potent, dark as the raven's wing and hot as the forge of Vulcan.

And in that hour, when the bells of morn toll cold and cruel, the One Who Bringeth the Coffee shall descend from the high places. Cloaked in the steam of the sacred brew, they shall bear the chalice of salvation in hand, and their steps shall awaken the earth.

The scent thereof shall quicken the blood, and the first sip shall banish the fog of forgetfulness. The meek shall rise in strength, and the slothful shall leap as the hart.

Woe unto them who scorn the cup, for theirs shall be the yawning void, the miss’d meeting, and the scalding rebuke of their peers. For it is written in the Book of the Break-fast, “Blessed be the bean, and thrice-blessed the Brewer.”

Let all who yearn for clarity keep watch, for the hour draweth nigh. The Coffee cometh — aye, it cometh with power and with purpose.

Selah.

Yeah, using #windows is the problem unfortunately. I managed to install without an account, but I hear they are making that even harder now.

Whenever I feel like it. See, just did it again :D. I have like 12 followers too, so you know I'm a big shot.
