Whoa! Never heard of it, but already intrigued! Thanks!

It seems to me that the sun is barreling through space and dragging the planets along with it. The plane of the ecliptic is not "horizontal" as its presented in diagrams of the solar system, but more like a "vertical" dart board moving "horizontally" through a path around the galaxy. Stellar!

Do you know this awesome song? "General Confessional" by The Electric Prunes 1968.

This whole process has really surprised me, but it’s good news, so excited to share!

In the summer of 2023, the Human Rights Foundation (HRF) launched a Bitcoin Bounty program aimed at funding software developers to create new tools and features for Bitcoin tailored to the needs of dissidents and human rights advocates challenging authoritarianism worldwide. These bounties ranged from UX improvements to privacy upgrades and open-sourcing closed and permissioned systems.

There were 11 bounties in total, each with specific objectives. The deadline was Dec. 31, 2024.

We are excited to announce that every single bounty was claimed and that the resulting tools and upgrades are now empowering human rights activists daily across popular apps such as Blue Wallet, Zeus, Stack Wallet, Iris, Coracle, Keeper, Bull Bitcoin, Cake Wallet, and more.

This program highlights the impact of collaboration between human rights activists and software developers to create better tools for freedom. HRF is proud to have played a role in this effort and looks forward to continuing similar programs in the future. Special credit goes to the Oslo Freedom Forum, where much of the critical interaction between developers and activists occurred.

This wave of bounties was inspired by a successful pilot project in 2021, executed in partnership with Strike and Jack Mallers, which supported developers like Will Cassarin and Calle. Their innovations later gave rise to important advancements such as zaps in Nostr and the Cashu ecash protocol.

We learned a lot through this process and look forward to doing similar things in the future.

There’s so so much to be gained from mixing political dissidents with developers!

Thank you!

First thing that comes to mind was that he was among the very few American artist who stood on defiance of Parental Advisory labeling for music in USA. He testified on Capitol Hill, internet footage abound. There's lots more about him, such as his significance in Eastern Europe because of his support during the liberation of states in the region in the 90s, and how they loved his music of freedom and expressiveness, and wild, wild guitar!

Frank Zappa was an inspiration whose genius wasn't immediately recognized, but that came into focus for all to see soon enough. He continues to inspire many today.

Thanks and よろしく

In fact, my wallet seems capable of zapping. But not able to receive zaps. Not sure what that means or how to diagnose it just yet. All support is much appreciated!

That sucks. interoperability is tricky. Not ready to give up, tho. Thanks for letting me know and showing me. The friendly support is much appreciated.

It's set up, isn't it? Working on it, and thought it was working, but ... ?

This year has been wild and prodigious. Not just the chanterelles!

It all started with a massive haul of morels in the spring, then porcinis aplenty here and there through summer, up come the chanties and hedgehogs, last weekend's hunt gifted us cauliflower mushroom (enough to feed 15 people), and now we're finding matsutakes, azurescens, and cyanescens. This isn't even an exhaustive list!
