a large portion of that 1k she zapped went back into their own hands, they seem to have multiple of these scammer accounts on nostr

ppl need to wake up

Whoops ignore my previous comment. I am reckless with TestFlight so I just sent it. I trust Pablo— but understand if you don’t want to. I know nsecbunker is a thing for keys but never used it. Nostore is a Safari extension you can get for iOS which works quite well, I use it, but it won’t help with Olas.

This is Saylor's new business model but the Legos are Bitcoins.

Nostr Wallet Connect. Olas is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I’m starting the New Year off strong. Yesterday, I took my first steps into Bitcoin mining at home.

I set aside some time, read a couple of set up articles, watched some YouTube videos, and got my Bitaxe up and running with Braiins Pool. There is a small learning and technical curve with set up. But it’s well worth the time. If home mining has been on your mind, I’m inviting you to take the leap.

Grab yourself a miner and start pool mining. The amount of sats these humble miners earn is small. But we’re talking about the hardest and rarest money ever created. Every sat is valuable!

Facts.

Has Swan Bitcoin peaked and declined? Since being off of Twitter, I almost never hear about them. At one point they were doing a daily show and were at the tip of the spear of Bitcoin culture, sponsoring everything Bitcoin related and seemed to own much of the cultural space. What happened?

Happy new year!! Great idea!

It’s paganism masquerading as Christianity that bothers me the most. Christians seem to be cool with that. I don’t get it.

This is a nostr appreciation post to start the new year. I don’t think any of us are ready for how this thing can change the media.

No more algorithms doesn’t just mean that you get to control what you see – it also means that journalists like me can directly interact with their readers to get real feedback on how their content is perceived, without collecting anyones data.

Lots of posts of mine do terribly on Twitter but do very well on nostr – simply because the algorithm disfavors them for using a wrong word, format or hashtag. Other posts don’t do well on either – telling me that I need to get better at explaining things. Quality feedback like this is the holy grail for any journalist because it makes us better at what we do, and it’s impossible to achieve on the manipulation sites.

And for the zaps – it’s the only mechanism I have seen that actually discourages having a paywall. People *will* and *do* spend money on content they appreciate; not because they are forced to, but because they value what other people have created. This simply doesn’t work when what you make is hidden for a payment in advance scheme that requires you to setup an account and make new passwords for every page.

Journalists, just like artists, don't create stuff because they want to get rich (maybe some do, but that's a pretty stupid strategy). We create things because its physically impossible for us not to. Knowing that someone is willing to spend their sats on your work is the best feedback you can get.

Call me crazy but nostr doesn’t just make media more free. It makes it better. Bullish on what's to come 🎆

2025 will be the year of acceleration.
