When we attached this flyer with every order we ship daily, would that increase sales/nostr? For ease of use we recreated a primal QR. Is this the best way or should we go for a different QR code? We're not very good at graphical design please let us know if you have any ideas or improvements before we sent this to our local printer.

I need some advice and guidance on finding a bitcoin-friendly bank in the US for a business venture

The two that have popped up as top candidates are Mercury and Old Glory

Does anyone have experience with either of these, or have recommendations for others?

Thank you 🧡

If you want to go #Linux, Thinkpads are the Gold standart. You don't need to reinvent the wheel and get something fancy. I sold my #Tuxedo last week after a year of usage as it works best only with their TuxedoOS, a customized Version of Ubuntu. They even created their own mirrors, updates are always behind.

By going full Linux, they over-linuxed and came out the yet-another-half-bakes-distro end and laptop hardware that fails to go into hibernate with any other OS. One year I tried to fix this. No more, back on the old ThinkPad.

I cant build an app for IOS because they require you to sign up for a developer account just to compile the code. and then there is the app store, no way I'm going to go through that KYC mess 😞

I have a working android build for testing, but I don't know how to sign the apk and get it on to zapstore. every time I try I get stuck on the java signing keys

What's your daily driver?

What’s a good alternative to Google Authenticator?

This chart shows the total amount of credit extended by all commercial banks in the United States, including:

- Commercial and industrial loans

- Consumer loans (consumer credit)

- Mortgage loans (residential and commercial)

- Other types of credit

Commercial bank lending is another form of money creation out of thin air besides that of the central bank, in fact it is the two main forms of money creation.

Here you can see the debt system at its maximum expression, only upwards, never reducing debt, only upwards, to infinity.

Been reading up on the nostr protocol and comparing it to the DSP I wrote about in 2021. Many of the details seem to have been worked out brilliantly, but one thing that worries me is the reliance on volunteer nodes.

It would be nice if there was a business model for nodes and node competition at the protocol level.

As it is, I wonder if nostr can scale.
