๐Ÿ’ฌ๏ธ Hal Finney on Bitcoin 2.0

On May 30, 2011, Hal Finney explained why relaunching Bitcoin for a "fair distribution" of coins was a bad idea.

๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ’ป Big update

Excited to announce a big update to nostr:nprofile1qqs9uwlkfxg8ft6pht3c5z8d5epyt4munfqkk3x0npujhrysp2u7qzgpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qfpwaehxw309a5xzan9dchxy6t5vdhkjm3dvdskcetwv3shytn0wfnj73u38ws project.

Bitcoin Calendar migrated to SQLite databse, which now allows to query events by tag, date, range, and so on.

The project also now supports API calls (for inter-app communications for now), external API calls will become available in Q3.

Next step โ€“ setting up own web archive to ensure no Bitcoin historical reference is ever lost.

๐Ÿชฆ Bitcoin Obituary

On May 29, 2011, NY Times published an article by Richard Beales, in which he labeled #Bitcoin

"A bubble that bursts when the abstract intellectual appeal fades would probably doom the otherwise creative idea.".

1BTC = $9

The beauty of automation ๐Ÿ’œ

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ Nick Szabo on Bitcoin

On May 28, 2011, Bit gold author Nick Szabo commented on #Bitcoin in his blog:

"Nakamoto improved a significant security shortcoming that my design had, namely by requiring a proof-of-work to be a node in the Byzantine-resilient peer-to-peer system to lessen the threat of an untrustworthy party controlling the majority of nodes and thus corrupting a number of important security features. Yet another feature obvious in hindsight, quite non-obvious in foresight."

Quoted is the first automatic post, where note is fetched from a database via API ๐Ÿ˜Ž

I need a couple more days to polish everything, but it works ๐ŸŽ‰

This means that quite soon Bitcoin Calendar will handle API calls, allowing everyone to have direct access to historical #Bitcoin events alongside media and web archive sources.

The work goes on ๐Ÿซก

Hi, sorry for a late response. The receiver confirmed they got the sats. It was probably a GUI glitch or something.

I used primal wallet - no NWC or anything - just deposited some sats to the wallet for future zapping.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท Iran Bans Bitcoin Mining

On May 26, 2021, Iranian authorities banned #bitcoin #mining. The decision was likely caused by frequent power blackouts in the country and, according to the president, a high percentage of unlicensed miners. https://i.nostr.build/9z5EA.webp

We registered the ๐Ÿท nostr.wine domain name on February 2, 2023 and I setup a nostream (shoutout to nostr:npub1qqqqqqyz0la2jjl752yv8h7wgs3v098mh9nztd4nr6gynaef6uqqt0n47m) paid relay on it the following day.

The pay-to-write price was 888 sats and bitcoin was in the 20k range. Back then my rule was if you sent me your admission invoice, Iโ€™d pay it for you. The fee was just a spam deterrent and we were just starting to experiment with nostr.

Paid relays were just getting started as a concept back then and there were lots of new ones popping up daily. I think I signed up to at least 15 other ones, maybe more. They had modest one-time fees and I viewed these more as donations to support relay operators than as an actual payment for a service.

Seeing some of the other relay prices and performance, we decided to migrate to Strfry (thank you nostr:npub1yxprsscnjw2e6myxz73mmzvnqw5kvzd5ffjya9ecjypc5l0gvgksh8qud4), build our own custom BTCPayServer integration, and raise the price to 8888 sats.

Spam was just starting to become an issue on free relays so users started to experiment with reading ONLY from these new paid relays. They were spam free but they were also missing a lot of the content users expected to see.

Enter ๐Ÿท filter.nostr.wine - our custom bridge to free relays, without the spam. Truthfully, nostr:npub1qlkwmzmrhzpuak7c2g9akvcrh7wzkd7zc7fpefw9najwpau662nqealf5y and I built Filter for ourselves. We wanted to avoid reading directly from several free relays but without losing access to the free-relay content we found interesting. We also wanted to be able to write our events to those free relays without connecting to them.

Filter.nostr.wine is an aggregator relay that pulls events from the largest free relays in real time and broadcasts user events back to those relays. When our users view their global feed on filter, we automatically apply a follows+follows filter to the feed so that youโ€™re only viewing notes from your extended network.

Since Filter was a heavier relay to run that offered valuable functionality outside of normal note storage/retention, we decided to make Filter a subscription service and give nostr.wine users a few free months to help with the transition. We also raised the nostr.wine price to 18888. We werenโ€™t sure if anyone would be willing to pay an ongoing fee to use it, but we gave it a try and nostriches supported us.

With this support, we were able to add NIP-50 search, add new global views (all vs your network), and add NIP-65 broadcasting. We also reinvested some of the sats back in to nostr. We paid out 4 seperate bounties to nostr client developers to integrate NIP-42 client authentication.

Towards the end of last year, we made a large change to our aggregator data pipeline. โ€œPurgatoryโ€ was released to combat new user spam without losing coverage of real users. You can learn more about filter.nostr.wine and the rest of our services here: https://docs.nostr.wine/filter/readme

We want to thank all of you who have supported us throughout our first 27 months of operation. This is not our full time job but itโ€™s our passion project and we are dedicated to providing the most reliable paid relay on nostr.

Here is to another 27 months๐Ÿท๐Ÿ’œ

๐Ÿคก Faketoshi Day

May 25, 2020, marks the ignominious failure of Craig Steven Wright, the infamous liar and impersonator of Satoshi Nakamoto (often referred to as #Faketoshi). On May 25, 2020, owners of coins mined just 37 days after the genesis block signed a message with 145 private keys stating: "Craig Steven Wright is a liar and a fraud". 1 https://web.archive.org/web/20200526120251/https://paste.debian.net/plain/1148565

๐Ÿ’Š Ray Dalio Holds Bitcoin

If only there was a way to fight it in an elegant and efficient way. Oh, wait, itโ€™s been there since 1997.

Happy to do my (little) part. Hope you hit the target ๐Ÿ™

Rains are no joke in Lanka. I visited 10 years ago - crossed from Colombo to Trinco on a bike with a local friend of mine, stayed at family homes, hung out at local bars, visited secluded waterfalls and long forgotten places - no fancy hotels or popular tourist bullshit. One of my favorite trips. ๐Ÿ’œ ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ฐ

Self hosting media in a Nostr-native way is harder than it seems. Today I logged into Blossom Drive - the web UI to interact with Blossom server by nostr:nprofile1qqszv6q4uryjzr06xfxxew34wwc5hmjfmfpqn229d72gfegsdn2q3fgpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t09uf948ut to see most of my media uploads vanish from my media folder. Luckily it was just the preview functionality that went missing, not the blobs themselves.

Another GUI I use is bouquet by nostr:nprofile1qqst03hkj9w04xnzllm2rupxqn0g3s3ud3kx6xu0vtrucyr5nuc8aqgpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsjgg85r , but it struggled to display uploaded mp4 files (specifically the GUI preview).

The cool (but obviously way less visual and intuitive way) thing is that I can still browse blobs.

So as I uploaded a video file I took the blob, added .mp4 at the end of the link and voila, the file can now be shared and it supports preview functionality.

I guess the moral of my story is twofold:

1. We are so early

2. Self sovereignty is hard to reach, but possible. You just need to really want to do it.

Hello Plebs,

I was able to fetch the usernames and profile images of the npubs of the fetched notes for my #NostNomi client. Also, I was able to make the UI a bit better. I will make it alive step by step. :-)

But there is a big trouble for me that I am worrying too much about, as this is the rainy season. It is my broken, leaking roof. It is leaking when it rains and making my home like a river. It is too hard. If you are able, please consider helping me with value for value (V4V) for replacing my roof to get rid of rain. Even your repost is a very huge help for me. To be honest, I am unable to save that much in #bitcoin in the short term. I just need to get rid of the rain and do my work without stress. Proof of my roof when it rains and the geyser link are below.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ New York Disagreement Day

The Bitcoin scaling agreement, better known as the "New York Agreement", jointly proposed by over 50 companies at the Consensus 2017 conference, added fuel to the "block size war" in 2017.

The New York Agreement was intended to end the long-standing debate about #Bitcoin #scaling by increasing block capacity through the activation of Segregated Witness and doubling the block size (i.e., SegWit2X).
