Exporting and importing events into a new strfry instance (which you need to do when the DB version changes) takes too long. Here's a feature I just added that speeds this up a lot:

Going forward, there is a release-0.9 branch. I'm going to tag one more release on that branch soon (after back-porting a couple fixes). It will have strfry export --fried but not import. I'm planning on this being the last release of the 0.9 series.

I'm working on a 1.0 release in the next branch. I just did a big refactor of the DB format that I've wanted to do for some time. I also removed prefix matching on id/pubkey (this was removed from NIP-01) and fixed a bunch of bugs. This release will also have the latest negentropy protocol version and BTree code.

Thank you for your work on this!

This is a note sent from Algia. Nice

nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc what was that logical way you deduced that we aren't living in a simulation because Bitcoin?

Something to do with processing power?

Look after yourself. Burnout is grim and hard to come back from.

I used to have very abstract (lol) dreams about object oriented programming concepts when doing a lot of C# at peak burn out. Took years to get over.

I have been very often critical of Bukele, especially of the state spyware Chivo Wallet, and of the statist propaganda of many bitcoiners who portray El Salvador as "Bitcoin heaven."

I must admit that it is good to read the president admit in his TIME interview that the adoption of Bitcoin in the country has NOT been the success that was expected.

Truth always wins.

TIME: I also want to ask you about the adoption of Bitcoin in El Salvador. (…) In your opinion, has it been a success?

BUKELE: Yes and no; a lot more could definitely be done. Bitcoin hasn't had the widespread adoption we hoped for. (…) It hasn’t had the adoption we expected. The positive aspect is that it is voluntary; we have never forced anyone to adopt it. (…)

For me, it is an option we have given to Salvadorans. I'm not going to say it's the currency of the future, but there's a lot of future in that currency.

TIME: You bet a lot on Bitcoin.

BUKELE: El Salvador invested $135 million. Now, we have $400 million in Bitcoin in the public wallet alone. (…) I feel that it could have worked better, and there is still time to make some improvements, but it hasn’t resulted in anything negative. On the contrary, it gave us branding, it brought us investments, it brought us tourism. (…)

In the end, the fact of being a “First Mover,” I think, gives us a small advantage, as far as it goes. I feel that it could have been much better. I wouldn't consider it a resounding success. Still, I do believe that the positive outcomes outweigh the negative.

Seems like a pretty measured response. He's very good at PR.
