Experiencing some elongated confirmation times for on-chain withdrawals right now on #[0] . Working on acceleration paths, but nothing to worry about. Happy to refund Priority fees if you DM me.

Fee estimation is hard especially in times of compounding rising rates. Bitcoin is back.

It seems like the simple solution to spam on Nostr is to charge per posting. Even at a few Satoshi somebody would waste time looping a drain on their own money. Is this a plan for future development?

that was interesting and here is my main thought about it:

the thing is, as best as i currently understand, bitcoin only goes up for two reasons:

people buy more of it, or, there's an increased demand for it.

but my main problems with this, are as follows

- cbdc is emminent, and when that occurs it will change a lot. stay with me a sec.

- when people globally "hypothetically" want to use bitcoin, but cant get any, how does that help any of them? are we hypothesizing that the entire world, is just going to use whatever liuidity is in the lightning network. and adjust the price of everything, based on an ever changing metric of how many scraps are in the digital bucket?

-are we to assume that bitcoin will only be valuable because if the holders of it are the only ones who can get it, in a post cbdc economy, this somehow makes the people holding it more useful, or more valuable somehow?

-on the last point, i would argue that it doesn't make those people more useful, primarily because human nature is such that people are greedy, and only self serving, MOSTLY and by most i mean about 90% of the global population. so you have people who cannot afford to buy food, because they are having cbdc, and their money got turned off, expired, or they went outside of their 15 minute city, or they lost too many social credit points , or what have you. and they need bitcoin to buy food and pay rent? how is this fair or even possibly imaginable, in anyones wildest dreams? it simply wouldn't take. they'd be rioting in the streets, for bitcoin to increase the market cap, so they could have a chance at having some money. even with all the halving, which just eventually brings it mathematically close to error divide by zero, there still wouldn't be enough to satisfy global liquidity needs, based on how people currently live.

where i'm going with this, is while bitcoin is a nice idea, and has a lot of cool things about it, i dont think in my wildest dreams as its presently configured, that it would *ever* satisfy the requirements for a global currency.

not today, not tomorrow, not next year. simply put, never.

and i do realize most of the things i mentioned above are largely left -out- of all the popular hype and books and stuff, unless i've missed these details.

thoughts welcome.

have any of you read bruce campbell's, "the power of belief?"

I thought you would. Interesting point of note:

Analog gauges in airplanes, and cars, light up at night. No "dark mode." maybe in some of these newfangled cars, but not in anything I've driven.

How are you this fine evening?

I don’t think there’s much to wonder about. Almost everyone is surrounded by microwave radiation every single day, ppl aren’t going blind from it.

depends on exposure amounts, output power envelope, frequency, etc.

2.4ghz is the same roughly that the microwave oven uses.

5ghz+ will penetrate less into the skin and cranial tissue, but still has an affect on red blood cells, blood vessels, and so on.

2.4ghz will basically dehydrate you.

You've never gotten a leg cramp from having a phone in your pocket all day ?

Cordless phones used 400-900mhz, until the mid 90s.

Dark mode is for programmers that have already lost most of their vision. Change my mind.

Hyperbitcoinization is imminent.
