If you can see this, Tor is now inside of Amethyst.

No more Orbot.

Very simple, but very consistent 😉 Wdyt?

Seattle is beautiful! But the drinks are pricey. Help me out zap nation! lol

Thank you all for helping me keep some sense of reality and that I’m not completely insane.

Went to a normie dinner party tonight and people were looking at me like I was batshit crazy, and I was still just in the shallow end warming up.

Some people never have their values challenged in any meaningful way nor actually look at them with a critical lens and it shows.

yes, we just changed it to the project!

Good morning everyone. It has been a rough September so far.

I turned in my resignation for the end of the month with the person I subcontract for, and things got petty fast. My wife has almost recovered from one issue and is now ill, and I still see my faint images of my poor pooch that died all around the house and yard, which is kind of nice to be honest.

It's going to be alright though. Fall is around the corner. I'm about to check out a new cold storage I picked up, get things ready for the fall garden, I have another job waiting for me that I was ready to roll with and can start Monday if they terminate me Mon before work. I have a lottery miner I picked up from nostr:npub160t5zfxalddaccdc7xx30sentwa5lrr3rq4rtm38x99ynf8t0vwsvzyjc9 that I haven't had time to hook up but it's happening today. I have a fishing trip planned with myself and wife with one of my best friends and his wife weather permitting next week. He's buying BTC now and slowly getting Orange pilled. I'm about to get my garage cleaned up, work on getting two certifications for my career I've wanted for years. I'm also going to be cutting my hours back working from 60-70hrs recently down to around 25-30. This is really going to improve my work-life balance. More importantly even though there will be a steep loss in income upfront it's going to allow me to grow my knowledge base and be more well rounded to help me get to a point where I can provide a service to my local community and the BTC community. The most important thing it's going to allow me, is the ability to spend more time with my family.

Everything goes through a death and rebirth. I'm in that cycle right now, and God seems to have blessed me with a portion of the rebirth going into my favorite time of year.

Please remember that if you're going through a tough time, that people love you and need you in their lives. Also, remember that even if you don't believe in it, but you believe you are out of options and want to try anything reach out to #prayerchain. Even spin up another npub if you want to. Just reach out for help.

I hope that you all have a blessed day and weekend. Take time for yourselves, spend time with your family and friends. Don't forget stack some sats, they're on sale. Stack some beans, bullets, bandaids, and grow your skill sets.

James 1:17-20

17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

Two significant-ish "akshually"s but also a DEFENSE of nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f in regards to nostr:npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl.

On nostr:npub10uthwp4ddc9w5adfuv69m8la4enkwma07fymuetmt93htcww6wgs55xdlq #320, nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx said:

"There's multiple conspiracies with OpenSats and two of the key ones is Knots and SeedSigner. And neither have submitted applications. If you're a developer or a contributor working on either of those things, opensats.org/apply"

Akshually:

1.) SeedSigner DID submit an OpenSats application for the project as a whole. The application languished for months (perhaps 6mo to a year?) and was ultimately declined with the explanation that it was easier/preferable to support individual devs than whole projects.

2.) Based on that feedback, I submitted an OpenSats application to fund just me specifically. That was also declined. BUT the rationale was because nostr:npub17xvf49kht23cddxgw92rvfktkd3vqvjgkgsdexh9847wl0927tqsrhc9as had just announced a 6mo grant for me. I was encouraged to reapply to OpenSats before that HRF funding expired.

The delays around 1.) were totally understandable. OpenSats is a VOLUNTEER effort and had even fewer human resources at that time. But also: they don't owe us a f'n thing!! They're under no obligation to say "Yes" nor should we ever have the arrogance to think we deserve to demand a "Yes"!

BUT the delays to get to ANY answer were VERY frustrating and likely added to some of the bad blood in the water amongst those watching the project closely. Eventually each "later, soon..." response was received with increasing cynicism and creeping conspiracy theories.

The "No" was totally reasonable. Getting to "No" faster would have been better.

The "No" on 2.) was also totally reasonable. No complaints from me whatsoever. I also strongly believe that THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN A "YES" had the HRF funding not come through.

I consider O'Dell a friend and an ally. When I saw him in Nashville I gave him a hug and said, "I appreciate you."

I'm not about drama.

Not here to start any shouting matches.

Just trying to paint a clear picture about what was good and what was bad throughout our interactions with OpenSats thus far.

And full disclosure: I'm prepping a new grant application for myself for OpenSats. So, sure, I have personal reasons for not wanting to burn this bridge.

But the reality is that there was just nothing outrageous or awful or controversial about our interactions. Circumstance and timing weren't right for attempts 1.) and 2.). Crossing my fingers for upcoming 3.).

Conspiracy theories are dumb.

I'm trying to earn Sats for a #Bitaxe . If anyone wants to help a little, please feel free to do so 💥🤛. (7/7)

She said yes ♥️

Shuts down the workstation,

throws back the rest of that vodka in my glass,

put mom to bed,

I throw on my Darth Vader PJs,

pulls back the sheets to hop into bed and there's a car beeping horn from the driveway, probably waking half the neighborhood.

I peek out the front window and it's the fellas.

Not supposed to get here until tomorrow, but hey, guess we're going to be up for a while.

It's likely we're going to finish that bottle of Chopin tonight.

All that to say you should assume any nostr notes from this point forward and for the rest of the night is was PUI (posting under the influence).

Take that for what it's worth. Good night nostr fam....I think.
