Yes, that makes sense, thanks : )

Can a nostr client for a marketplace be owned by a company who built it, or should it be open source, own by no one?

For example, since the protocol itself is open, with open relays, users can run on both type of clients.

Your thoughts on this?

Yep.

What are your thoughts on how those clients can sustain in the mid term though? Or how do they grow to more team members?

Not being able to get a Bitcoin debit card due to my residency is becoming a blessing.

Getting used to other means of settlement.

jailer: you're not thinking of jumping

prisoner: never

jailer: good (leaves)

her: I have my duty

prisoner: to whom

her: to everyone, it's rules of the people, by the people, for the people

prisoner: takes on a new meaning

her: you're a wicked man.

prisoner: wicked?

her: you have no values.

prisoner: different values

her: you wont be helped

prisoner: destroyed

her: you want to spoil things

prisoner: i won't be a goldfish in a bowl.

Hmm, I think it was doing 1M zaps per 4 hours before. So that’s an almost 20x growth in use.

You mean for salary? Company deducts statutory requirements, and net is paid in Btc to me.

February 2023 [778672]

1. Salary now in bitcoin. 33.76% of expenses this month paid via bitcoin or concierge, where i don't personally use fiat.

2. 89.53% social media time on nostr, 10.47% on twitter and ~0% on the rest.

At my hotel, there’s a lovely resident dog that greets everyone that arrives.

He most likes sitting next to me while I work at the cafe.

On the path to self-sovereign nomad, you meet all kinds of friends.

What kind of trouble?

Which one allows you to pay with Bitcoin?

Just started on mandibles today. Let’s see how it goes.

How does a founder who has spent last 10 years on a platform based marketplace transition to value4value reality, within the company.

1. Instead of observing valuation of the company, observe valuation of bitcoin vs prices of goods / other denominator instead.

- This would require moving a tiny percentage at first on bitcoin hodl, whatever it can afford - USD1 or 10,000, to have skin in the game.

- On approach by new investors who want to invest in company, pass them a deck of bitcoin instead.

- Look at options to buy back shares, so that it can move towards some form of DAO.

- Keep company small, 20 to 30 team size.

2. Start a parallel small ground up experimental de-centralized project. I'm researching into dergigi’s manifesto.

Yes, I can resonate with that. Thanks

wow.

why do you describe it as a citadel though?

Payment rail to fiat merchants when my residency does not allow me to get Bitcoin debit card : (

Or share your link, so I can add places as I travel easily? : )

Let’s use this doc link to update list? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16vfXkqguAL0-CgO0lyXMMp5x4l_MiDe_ze6zU0_G47c/edit?usp=sharing

Sure, what do you need?

Let me create a quick google doc link we can use?

Stormy early morning walk, as lady buddha gazes serenely from the distance. In Vietnam for next 30 days till lightning conference.

Bitcoiners ping me if you’re around for coffee chats.

Nomadic self-sovereignty, hammer on nail 🤙

- in my residency, there is no strike or crypto debit cards allowed, unfortunately. You’re allowed to have your wits, that’s about it.

- the company Im at has a concierge programme, where I list my recurring bills and they pay it off for me, and transfer the rest as Bitcoin to me. It helps a lot.

Salary agreed is in fiat amt, but company pays me in Bitcoin.

Now that I receive salary in bitcoin, how to navigate short term votality, when need to purchase essential goods that are quasi pegged to local fiat.

I’m running a small experiment.

Step 1: set a bottom and top line for Btc/usd, based on a variance rate from when received salary in btc. In between this range, use Bitcoin to pay for expenses.

Step 2: when below bottom line, use fiat credit card only. When above top line, use Bitcoin to pay off fiat card debt and continue to use Bitcoin as normal for expenses.

Step 3: automate so don’t have to think about it.

A good person in the wrong paradigm accrues decisions that's bad for the community as a whole, with few exceptions.

No-go, staunch fiaters.

Out of coffee beans since yesterday. Jumping jacks it is 😂

Need coffee, but the cafe downstairs does not accept lightning, so that’s a no-go.

What are the alternatives here. Jumping jacks?

I like the idea!

As a consensus:

1. How is shipping of items discussed?

2. Payment first and then ship?

3. What if a seller does not ship, or item damaged?

If you are planning to watch the full prisoner series, be prepared to have dreams of cats talking to you.

This is fine. it's just the brain un-conditioning itself. GM.
