I don’t understand the ordinal scammers. They spam the memspace and sky rocket the fees then call it a day and come back tomorrow do it again. Why wouldn’t they just spread it out?

From The Economist. It hasn’t even been a month. 😆

For context re: Craig Wright and Calvin Ayre and why there should be no mercy.

My life changed completely on March 29th, 2019. Almost five years ago now.

I had made several tweets, warning people about Craig Wright, and making my opinion about him clear. A matter of very public interest.

I was sent a legal letter on twitter DM, where it was made clear that I either had to apologize and acknowledge Craig as Satoshi, or they would file a libel case against me in UK.

When I didn't comply, Craig and Calvin put a public $5000 bounty on my identity and then firmly doxxed me after finding out who I was.

They proceeded to put private intelligence surveillance on me, that have tried to gain access to my social circle, both online and physically. Presence in 100s of groups. Monitoring my house. Producing regular, detailed reports on all my activity. Travelled where I travelled and so on. And god knows what else. This is still going on today.

I have been continuosly smeared and lied about on social media and in Coingeek, the publication owned by Calvin.

Threatened directly/personally with bankruptcy and worse by Calvin and his followers on twitter, with my real name, on countless occasions.

Anonymous phone calls with indirect threats.

My dad was fighting against cancer when this all started. I was dealing with constant legal pressure and threats throughout his fight. When he finally died late 2020, the legal pressure was at a peak and my funding situation was uncertain.

I've had to give up tons of private communication in discovery, to prove I had not been behind "an organized and vicious campaign against Craig."

I've had to turn down professional opportunities, since a good percentage of my bandwidth has been continuously occupied with defending myself legally. The amount of legal letters, hearings, appeals, judgments etc are beyond belief.

I've lived since 2019, with the constant knowledge that my house and belongings are on the line, and Craig's stated goal of bankrupting his enemies would be reality if I lost.

All the while I've tried to, and largely managed, to shield my child and family as well as possible, but I know all of this has put stress on them as well.

No mercy for these people.

Only Welcome to Law.

Painful Truth:

We need more normal businesses that integrate Bitcoin than Bitcoin businesses that are creating yet another wallet/exchange/mining facility.

The former is what you'd call a traditional business, the latter is a VC funded business, which is largely running on fiat. We don't need more speculative companies that are still trying to find product/market fit that gets them profit. We need more businesses that really provide value.

what’s the meaning of orbot’s icon?

JUST IN: New York Times publishes hit piece on #100aDayUntil100k movement.

"They start with push-ups and Austrian Economics, but how long before they foment insurrection?"

I can't believe these anti- #Bitcoin  "journalists" - truly shameful...

Please share for awareness.

FWIW I DO NOT WANT TO BE THE MAIN CHARACTER.

ONCE WE GET NOSTR BOOTSTRAPPED IM GOING TO FADE INTO THE BACKGROUND.

Why do i have to go into the settings of my #nostr client and clear the cache OR clear my browser cache – for my profile picture, nickname, or description to update?

This is poor UX. New #nostr users will be puzzled as to why their information is up-to-date in one client but not in another.

I understand it might not be efficient to fetch the latest data every time I open my (or someone else's) profile, but having an easy button (on the profile page) to refresh that data would be really helpful.

Is it still an affinity scam or is there an open protocol now?

Asking for a friend: are the comments attached to a ecash tx more or less private?

I mean, is the minter able to read them?

Who can read them apart from sender/receiver?
