There is no optimistic version of the future in which humanity does not use significantly more energy than it does today. ₿itcoin is hope.

What's the most noob friendly / short book about Bitcoin? Thinking of buying my family a bunch of copies.

Can anyone tell me why I can't see anything on feeds "Bitcoin Reads" or "Technology Reads"? I can see articles on the preview when I search for feeds, but when I finally add it and look at it it's empty. Does this mean I don't have the proper relays? nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg

yeah, that seems....unsustainable

oh I didn't know that! Is that on Primal? Can you show me where that is?

My LN Wallet says someone zapped me 111 sats, but I don't see that anywhere on Primal

Ah okay, just wondering because I live 3 hours away from there. Highly doubt it's that though, lemme know🍻

Sorry i mean 🍷🥩

Wayyyy better than first one IMO

Huge milestone: First demo of Nostr Web Services (NWS) bringing TCP to Nostr. With NWS, you can host any existing web application on Nostr without having to use DNS or even announce your public IP to the world, simply by sharing your service's npub (or nprofile).

Try it out the demo yourself. Here is a Cashu test mint running with NWS. Let's use curl to retrieve the mint's information. The request travels from your computer to the public NWS entry relay, then through nostr to the service's NWS exit relay. At the other end is a Cashu mint with HTTPS encryption.

```

curl -s -x socks5h://relay.8333.space:8882 https://nprofile1qqs8a8nk09fhrxylcd42haz8ev4cprhnk5egntvs0whafvaaxpk8plgpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuwpnxvejuumsv93k2g6k9kr/v1/info --insecure | jq

```

I can't stress this enough: THE MINT RUNS BEHIND HTTPS!

The NWS entry relay can't read your traffic. It's encrypted. We can host public entry relays that can be used by anyone.

This means we can plug the entire internet to it 🌐.

Let's plug it into Cashu for now. Nutshell wallet supports socks5 proxies (that's how it uses Tor). By setting the public entry relay as the proxy, the wallet can now connect to a mint's npub/nprofile and communicate with it via NWS.

This is going to be so freaking cool. And it's going to be a lot more useful than just for Cashu. There are still bugs and issues that need to be ironed out but the code is coming out soon. Watch this space.

Soo, it's like TOR? How does NWS route the request through its web of relays? In other words, how does the entry node know which NOSTR relay is hosting the nprofile service?

Why isn't #nutsack part of the spec? Should be written in there somewhere 🤔

What's up with the girls in the bottom right? Seeing them everywhere but have no idea 😕

Trying to zap some sats but network fee on Muun is ridiculous. I think it's time I switch to WoS for cheaper fees?

What is the best video to send a normie that will give them the TLDR of Bitcoin technicals + fundamentals.

I search YouTube but all I can find are fucking trading videos..ugh...

There was a good 1 hour documentary but i forgot the name, also hoping for something shorter, perhaps 15-20minutes.

Best link gets 100 to 1000 sats depending on quality.
