It's absolutely hilarious how all these Hacker News commenters are going on and on about time-stamping, whining about how roughtime hasn't caught on, and how much they need time stamps. Only one person mentions OpenTimestamps, and they've gotten zero upvotes.
Bitcoin Derangement Syndrome.
I have never understood why there is so much ignorance and animosity towards Bitcoin on HN. Why!?!

Went rollerblading with the kids today, first time in probably 20 years, so rad 🤘Gonna get some blades.
There was a lot of shrill BS during COVID times about Australia. Just like the US, Australia is a bunch of states. Some of us lived pretty fucking free with very limited lockdowns
You can, via the web “app”
Do we trust this like all of their economic data 🤔
So nostr:npub1hu3hdctm5nkzd8gslnyedfr5ddz3z547jqcl5j88g4fame2jd08qh6h8nh and I are both devouring the Mistborn saga by Brandon Sanderson (thank you nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a for the rec)…
I started reading first and just started “The Hero of Ages” and she’s on “The Well of Ascension.”
But the problem is I don’t want to finish… know what I mean? Once you’re invested in a truly great piece of fiction, invested in the characters, you don’t want it to end.
But it must end. Anything that cannot go on forever must stop. All good things must come to an end. Etc etc
Anyway, I guess what I’m really saying is I wish there was a Mistborn video game…

If you’re into SciFi (or willing to try) the Culture series of books by Iain M. Banks is 🔥 also
What a beauty, a Golden Orb 🕷️🕸️

I did it.
I resigned from my fiat-mining job.
Hoping to regain some lost skills (attention, focus, deeper thought) and rebuild myself,
Enjoy the Perth summer & school holidays with the kids,
Make a dent is my massive pile of unread books,

Had a crazy realisation tonight.
Why shouldn’t I table-flip my life?
Take the family on an adventure. Live and work in another country for a few years.
Kids are still young, they’ll adept.
And we’ll always have home here that we’ll return to when it’s time.
Why did it take me so long to consider seriously?
Hold me to this nostr, 2025
