Nice work! Do you have any more info on Relays? Is it just a matter of picking several good ones? I read somewhere about event hints & outbox model, is that something the user has any control over somehow, or is that only for devs to implement in the clients?

Wow just saw this now, great note for nostr newbies like myself, thanks 🙏🏽

What changes when you fall down the rabbit hole is you. Normies are a window to the past

Necessity is the mother of invention. Community notes is great for a centralised platform. It’s not necessary for Nostr nostr:note1kyyvzpfm8xu5f9jzaywu3rhh4j4qzaraayr0utrheq7y97u4u96qanrqsr

We do, it’s called replying to a note

Replying to nobody

Here’s a map for a Bitcoin education curriculum that I wrote. Feel free to utilize parts of it if you’re seeking to educate people about acquiring and storing the corn 🌽.

Just be smart and make sure your own security is figured out. Distribute your keys. Distribute your stack. Distribute your signing devices. Don’t keep them at home. Have duress codewords with key holders and decoy key holders. Square your family away about protecting your home.

Module 1) Introductory Session 1-2 Hours: Get to know your mentee, answer any general questions, discuss their goals and where they are at in their Bitcoin studies.

Module 2) Basic Computer/Phone Hardware Suitability and Skills Assessment (Multi-Session As Needed): Identify any shortcomings in their computer hardware or understanding of basic computing, and come up with a plan to address them. Subsequent sessions in this module can include improving the student’s phone and computer hardware setup, setting up reliable data backup capabilities, and getting software downloaded and installed on their PC and mobile device that will permit them to view and manage their assets, create transactions for sending and receiving Bitcoin, minimize fees, and back up any important data.

Module 3) Interacting With Bitcoin Exchanges (Multi-Session As Needed): Establishing Bank Account Links for Funding Exchange Accounts, Making Bitcoin Purchases, Selling Bitcoin, Moving Funds Back to Your Bank, Moving Bitcoin Off the Exchange Into Self Custody. In these sessions you can point the student toward a couple of Bitcoin exchanges, and show you the basic mechanics for changing fiat dollars into Bitcoin, selling Bitcoin to change it back into fiat, and withdrawing Bitcoin to self custody so they alone control it.

Module 4) Acquiring, Setting Up And Backing Up First Signing Devices (Hardware Wallets). Multi-Session As Needed: Here we cover the pros and cons of various signing devices that are on the market so the student can make their own decision about which of the many models is right for them. Then, once they have a hardware wallet, you can recommend ways for the student to back up their keys in ways that are not susceptible to loss, damage or theft. You can also cover ways to link phones and desktop software to view hardware wallet balances, create transactions, manage various sized chunks of Bitcoin, and sign transactions.

Additional Modules: So as not to overwhelm the individual with everything all at once, suffice it to say that mastery of the concepts in first 4 modules, aimed at making the student a self sufficient Bitcoin holder, will open their eyes to enough new concepts and skills that by the time they are actively building their Bitcoin stack, the student will already be thinking about other topics that you can cover. Things like advanced security models, succession and estate planning for your Bitcoin stack, how to integrate Bitcoin payments into your business, second layer technologies, node running, tax and accounting strategies, and how to self direct their education in the Bitcoin space. You can show the student how to run their own copy of the Bitcoin Core software and confirm their own transactions on the network, and even how they can get their feet wet on Bitcoin mining and Layer 2’s.

Even if you end up simply using this for a roadmap to assist family or genuinely interested and committed, relatively technical people you come across, it’s one path anyway. Plus an opportunity to recommend hundreds of hours of reading material and audio.

I don’t orange pill people anymore. I’m going to let my life be the proof. But at least if I do meet the odd person who already “gets it”, I can help them along the path.

GN all 🤙🏽

“I don’t orange pill people anymore. I’m going to let my life be the proof”….

☝️This is the way

They’ll come round in time I guess

That’s a pretty boss feature, I could see a flywheel playing out….driving further adoption of their email service as Bitcoin grows
