I am open to recommendations on a platform to make Broken Money easily buyable with sats, either print+ebook or just ebook (since I won’t be handling physical shipping).

Let me know some of the best ways to proceed and I’ll look into them.

This first round is print books on Amazon, which is done. Next in the queue is the kindle version which should be available within a week or so.

And then the audiobook will come out. It’s in development but it takes time.

In parallel with the audiobook, I will be working to have it available in print in Barnes and Noble and other bookstores.

And I will figure out a way to make it buyable in sats. As I said, I am open to suggestions on the best way to do that. Any books I happen to sell in person will of course be buyable with cash or sats.

And then depending on sales figures, I will be looking into translation options.

All of the profits from the first thousand copies sold (about $5 per book) will go to the Human Rights Foundation Bitcoin Development Fund.

And for those for whom the book price is a burden or distribution is an issue, perhaps because they live in countries where the money is most broken, I invite them to pirate it.

Are you going to voice the audiobook yourself?

I’ve been an avid #apple user since 1984. I’m fully aware of the issues with their walled garden and App Store policies. But the products work well and none of that has negatively impacted me. If #nostr really takes off and apple don’t reverse their ban on zaps I might be forced to use something other than an #iphone.

Thank god for the #pwa I guess.

Ugh I want the new MacBook Pro but have absolutely zero justification for it 😅 tell me it sucks.

Work bought me one. It’s so much better than I expected.

Yes Nostr Report is a manual/human effort by a handful of users that met on Nostr, more akin to a newsletter or digest. Good question on where the discussions are taking place. Not sure where, but nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s , nostr:npub1r0rs5q2gk0e3dk3nlc7gnu378ec6cnlenqp8a3cjhyzu6f8k5sgs4sq9ac , nostr:npub1zafcms4xya5ap9zr7xxr0jlrtrattwlesytn2s42030lzu0dwlzqpd26k5 , nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft , and nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr are some great people to follow who are very involved with those discussions and development of Nostr and related apps.

Content discovery is a work in progress, but is better today than it was at the beginning of the year. The problem you described is 💯% why a few of us started the nostr:npub19mduaf5569jx9xz555jcx3v06mvktvtpu0zgk47n4lcpjsz43zzqhj6vzk back in January. We post a daily digest of posts by other people about the stuff happening on nostr, and also just started posting a weekly blog that’s more focused directly on the tech updates. Primal.net and Nostr.band have some trending/algorithmic feeds you can also check out.

IslandHodl 2y ago

Nice thank you. I guess nostr:npub19mduaf5569jx9xz555jcx3v06mvktvtpu0zgk47n4lcpjsz43zzqhj6vzk is a manual (and centralised) thing. Where is a good place to see any ongoing discussion and proposals for content discovery? Is it all happening on here in certain #hashtags? Or on GitHub?

On Twitter you also had the “hot” conversations pushed on you because that’s where the engagement was, and those were often debates and arguments over bitcoin with nocoiners, shitcoiners, other bitcoiners, etc. So it was always in your face. Always. Here it turns out that bitcoiners are actually just people with lives and a wide variety of interests, including bitcoin, which they’re trying to integrate and build into other things they’re already doing. Who knew? 😂

IslandHodl 2y ago

I’m finding with Nostr that things get missed because you only see what’s happening in sort of real time. You log on and anything that’s happened a while ago is gone. Maybes I’m just using it wrong, but wouldn’t some sort of other ordering by engagement be desirable? Maybe this is in the works I’m pretty #nostrilliterate

We are nearly at the point that if something interesting is posted on a centralized social platform it will usually be posted by someone to nostr.

We are nearly at the point that if something interesting is posted exclusively to nostr it is cross posted by someone to various centralized social platforms.

We are nearly at the point that you can recommend a cross platform app that users can install and easily onboard without additional guides or resources.

As companies continue to build walls around their centralized platforms nostr posts will be the easiest to cross reference and verify - as companies continue to censor their users nostr is the best censorship resistant alternative - gradually then suddenly nostr will become the standard. 🫡

Big bummer for those who expecting some action for the halving event in 2024..... So this time *is* different..... We will see. For me it does not really matter. Strong hands.

IslandHodl 2y ago

The last ATH was a good while after the halving. So I’d expect it to break 69k late 2924 at the earliest or some time in 2025.

More people are getting bitten by dogs - the badly socialized pandemic puppies are now adults? (The article says its not clear if this is an anomaly or a trend)

IslandHodl 2y ago

Could it just be that there are more dogs because everyone got puppies in the pandemic? Not necessarily that they are more likely to bite people?

Found everyone else is basically in the same boat. 😓🫂

Is some one working on a personal ai that can help with this? Umbrel have self hosted lambda now. So it’s close to feasible to do this in a self sovereign way.
