Congrats, med free!!! Yeah I get pretty thin too but Dr. Paul Saladino’s recommendations are pretty spot on for adding carbs to a carnivore diet. We really need to get Dr. Paul on Nostr!

Most users on here I’d say! Just regular people who understand bitcoin but aren’t active in content creation or software development around it

Oh, no, I’m just saying I’m personally fine with once a week as long as it’s happening. I’m a simple guy! Don’t need much to be happy.

We’ve noticed that it fluctuates depending on her cycle. Sometimes it’s maybe once a week, other times it’s twice in one day. It depends on a number of other factors that I could go into but it might be a bit TMI.

Ultimately, sex isn’t that important to our relationship. Some people treat it like a sport or a hobby but to us it’s just something to do after we’ve been flirting all day! Quality time and quality activities always take priority.

However, we did have a period where a lack of sexual intimacy was an issue. Turned out her birth control and poor diet was messing with her hormones. Got off birth control and started eating more quality red meat and things got better. Like, back when we first started dating, better!

Context: we’ve been together for a little over 12 years. We’re in our early 30s in pretty good health overall. We found that continuing to flirt with each other even though we’ve know each other for over a third of our lives really brought the spark back into our relationship. A booty pinch here, a booty slap there, a compliment about how good her booty looks… (there seems to be a pattern here.) and you’re good!

I’ve considered getting on there but to be more specific of what I’m getting at; I feel like bitcoiners talking about bitcoin all the time gets a little old after a while. How many times are we gonna ask nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a about the macro environment or hear nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe talk about prices falling to the marginal cost of production?

Don’t get me wrong, I love all of that! But there’s room for branching out. Like, imagine a show where we talk to these people about things other than bitcoin. Might be a fun way to help Bitcoiners not seem so… culty? Like they have other interests BESIDES bitcoin.

Maybe there’s no demand for it or no one would want to do that type of interview (which I totally get) but I think it’d be entertaining!

I fucking love movies so this is tough. I think 2001: a Space Odyssey might be my favorite of all time… although… Fight Club is up there… Casablanca is excellent… American Werewolf in London is hilarious… Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is beautiful… I might have to narrow it by genre… 😅

You’re welcome! That BitAxe is so dope! It’s so much smaller than I realized.

Hey folks! Is there a bitcoin podcast out there with a focus on getting to know Bitcoiners as people? Like outside of bitcoin. I mean, don’t y’all wanna know what nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe's favorite movie is? I know I do! 😜

I saw some FUD on X so I ask Grok.

“Based on the information available up to August 26, 2024, there isn't conclusive evidence directly stating that **Bitcoin Core** itself is compromised in terms of its codebase or security protocols being inherently flawed or maliciously altered. However, there are several points of concern and incidents that have been discussed in relation to Bitcoin Core and its ecosystem:

1. **Security and Vulnerabilities**: There have been discussions and incidents suggesting vulnerabilities or exploits within Bitcoin Core or related technologies:

- **Luke Dashjr's Incident**: A notable case involved Luke Dashjr, a Bitcoin Core developer, who reported losing a significant amount of Bitcoin due to a compromised PGP key, not directly a flaw in Bitcoin Core but in the security practices around it.

- **Bitcoin Core Bugs**: There was mention of bugs introduced in Bitcoin Core v0.21.1 that were reportedly exploited, but these bugs were not described as compromising the core functionality in terms of altering the protocol maliciously. Instead, they might relate to how transactions or data are handled, potentially exploited for spam or other non-consensus-breaking activities.

2. **Community and Developer Sentiment**:

- There's a sentiment among some developers and users about governance and control over Bitcoin Core's development, suggesting centralization in decision-making which could indirectly affect security if not managed transparently or inclusively.

- Discussions around features like Ordinals and Inscriptions have sparked debates on whether these are exploiting the system or are legitimate uses, indicating a divide in how the community views certain functionalities or vulnerabilities.

3. **Operational Security**:

- The mention of a significant number of Bitcoin nodes going offline, particularly those accessible via Tor, points towards operational or network layer issues rather than a compromise in Bitcoin Core's core functionality.

4. **Misinformation and Clarifications**:

- Some posts clarify misunderstandings, like the case where a wallet compromise was mistaken for a broader security issue with Bitcoin Core or related infrastructure.

Given this context:

- **Direct Compromise**: There's no definitive, widely accepted evidence or statement from the core development team or community leaders directly stating Bitcoin Core's codebase or its fundamental security model is compromised in a way that would alter the consensus rules or security of the Bitcoin network maliciously.

- **Indirect Concerns**: However, the incidents and discussions highlight ongoing challenges and potential weaknesses in adjacent systems (like key management, operational security, or governance models) which, while not compromising Bitcoin Core directly, can affect user security and trust in the ecosystem.

- **User Security**: Users are reminded of the importance of personal security practices, like securing private keys and understanding the software they use, rather than an inherent flaw in Bitcoin Core itself.

In summary, while there are concerns, vulnerabilities, and incidents around Bitcoin Core and its ecosystem, as of the last update, Bitcoin Core itself isn't universally declared as "compromised" in the sense of its core security or protocol being maliciously altered. However, these discussions underscore the importance of continuous scrutiny, updates, and robust security practices around Bitcoin and its ecosystem.”

Oh okay, I’m not stressing so much anymore. Thank you, Kyle! Won’t hurt to run Knots on one of my other computers to feel out the differences though. I appreciate you taking the time to respond!

What are those concerns? I just installed and set up bitcoin core on an old computer and thought I was ballin

Very good point here.
