on alby

are you guys like ledger, trezor or some other thing??

elon's a smart guy

but he's not smart about everything all the time

his mouth gets away ahead of his brain all the time

there are factories along the border of Mexico where regulatory and price arbitrage and labor arbitrage come into play in a complex dance where complex products are made utilizing the best of both sides of the border

there is a business that is at risk there or great efficiencies might be lost

this is just some Fringe thing right? not serious

not seriously considered by serious thoughtful people? right?

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!

this is pretty f****** amazing

I've been saying for a while that the halving is only half as important every time.

it was a big deal when it went from 50 to 25, but going from 3.25 to 1.6 or whatever the hell it is it's just not as relevant

good morning

have some f****** coffee for crying out loud

good morning everybody

I pulled my muscle or something in my back doing Pilates which is not at the point of Pilates at all and it's not getting better

I'm guessing the 10 mile bike ride is not a good idea today

PSA: ETFs aren't Bitcoin!

Self-custody takes effort, but nostr:npub1hea99yd4xt5tjx8jmjvpfz2g5v7nurdqw7ydwst0ww6vw520prnq6fg9v2 warns against the passive mindset of deferring to ETFs.

The cost of laziness? You don’t really own Bitcoin.

as the cool thing about the ETFs is that I can sell calls out of the money and collect essentially interests on my Bitcoin

ai art is immediately recognizable dog s***

they will buy back stock or have a bigger dividend because they clearly don't know what to do with the money

but I have an idea

buy Bitcoin
