Ah man, I tagged the wrong nostr:npub1rxysxnjkhrmqd3ey73dp9n5y5yvyzcs64acc9g0k2epcpwwyya4spvhnp8. Tagging people on Amethyst is really broken. What can I do to help fix that nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z?

It's okay to start out with a custodial solution. Download wallet of Satoshi and your good to go.

Then when you're ready, pay Voltage.Cloud a monthly fee to run your own LN node, and set Zeus wallet up to that node. Or, use Phoenix Wallet which is in my opinion the easiest way to access lightning in a non-custodial trust-minimized way.

Feel free to reach out to me if you need help or just sparring on stuff.

Thanks for raising awareness. Add an LN address man.

It's just really really cool. I've been learning so incredibly much with GPT.

I'm hosting a small local meet up where I'll be teaching:

1. How to verify OpenPGP signatures with GPG

2. Give an introduction to bitcoin self-custody.

3. I'll touch on what's required to run an umbrel node and use it to verify the blockchain.

4. I'll use sparrow wallet to demonstrate making transactions signed air-gapped with a coldcard.

5. I'll probably throw in a quick nostr intro which will include lightning introduction probably using nostr:npub148qm45zettnf6ekgkatnyfadunxwjpu8sy88mjdsgwc5f202d93qmejra7

I realize it's a lot of what nostr:npub1u70jd74dysk2rle5gewummd2ye4d0twglc8060mchr58fh40th7scdtqna covered in the miami coldcard workshop, which was awesome, thanks for the inspiration Ben.

I'm excited about it 🤷🏽🤔

Regarding your analogies about driving a car, or having a kid. I'm teaching my wife about coldstorage so she can do it without me and I used the analogy of diving.

We took a diving certificate on our honeymoon, years back.

I said "how important was it that you knew what you were doing when we went diving? It was literally life or death. You got this"

That resonated. Then thought of your analogies and thought I'd share.

No, I don't really care about being "discovered", more just if my follows are actually seeing what I post 😁😁

It's probably evident that I'm not losing sleep over it, lol

I defo need to set up one tap zaps. I'm taking ages to open up Zeus and zap and then navigate back to amethyst. Onetapzaps would probably make me use it more. I have too much friction now

Well done man. I generally dont post much but I've been posting nostr only lately just because Im too lazy to cross post, and have turned to post on nostr first.. 🤷🏽

I don't know if I've got my relays set up alright, but either I'm really boring or I'm not really getting my message out there 😬

Even though tesla and Elon "can go fuck themselves" (thank you nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx) I'm thinking if Elon accepting - then NOT accepting - bitcoin is even better for price action than if they had just continued accepting bitcoin from the get.

This way it's a bit more dramatic and a bit more marketing for bitcoins energy mix. (which I care fuck all about, but let's be clear, normies do)

Also let's be clear, I said price action, because bitcoin dgaf.

Anyway, I havnt stacked anyway near enough, so hoping Elon fucks it up again somehow and helps buying me another 1/2 year or so.

FUCK 😭

Good one, haha

Alright fellas, I've finally made my first homemade beef tallow, am I toxic maxi yet?

Shit I really hope it gets that high. (it's a joke)

I noticed it says pre-order.

Is the course ready or not ready.

Awesome!

I have to say, my humble opinion after having personally attended btc miami this year. You working for them seemed weird to me given that you're the clearest signal I know and given the amount of noise I had to cut through in miami. All due respect. I am concerned for the real main stage though.

At leeast like this | | much better

"It's a new social media where you can log in through different apps but keep your followers and relationships. So it's uncensorable! If Twitter censors you, you loose your following. If a nostr app censors you, you jump to another app, log in, and your good to go."

Even though nostr isn't necessarily a social media, a newbie would understand the gist with those words. Explaining that it's a communications protocol which can be used for tons of other use cases can come later.

Even the zaps part can come later, unless your speaking to an influencer who is concerned with monetization.

I just clicked this link and found myself listening through the entire sponsorship intro without skipping 😂 cool sponsors nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak I'll actually check some of those out. Sounded like super genuine recommendations.

Thanks dude.

I can't zap rn for some reason, but I'll zap you once I look into why Zeus won't connect to my node
