How do you calculate entropy? I looked in some websites but somehow the “years to crack the password” that each one had showed great discrepancies (still in the billions)

I believe it was Antonio Machado who said it: caminante no hay camino, se hace camino al andar

Joan Manuel Serrat put that into a song. Very nice. If you don’t speak Spanish, translating the lyrics might make sense

Very true, at least for myself. Still, your own self is somewhat already conditioned in that way, so that it becomes quite a frustrating “frame” to break or get out of

Probably the reason why every generation needs to do stuff different than the prior generation, indefinitely

True. But general opsec awareness and measures should be the default, and people are way to biased to overexposing themselves in centralized socials, and there is an entire generation that never knew anonymity (and the rest have forgotten). Speaking about a friend…

Yes, but only out of love and admiration, not out of pity.

It seems like an appropriate disclaimer 😅

I believe parenthood somehow completes one’s self, as in giving its true purpose.

When you have kids, remember two pieces of advice of a random Nostr guy: 1, be generous, and have as many kids as you can. There is no greater joy and no greater ROI in life fulfillment. Low time preference always pays off. Al carajo with all those little, close-minded people that have two kids and no more because “it’s enough”. Since when just this love is enough?

And 2, your job as a parent is to raise kids so that they are successful in leaving your nest. So, your number one priority, and the person who will remain after the kids leave, is your spouse. Treat your husband like when you were still dating even when you have kids.

There are few sure ways of ruining a marriage. Forgetting about the spouse and living solely for the kids is one of them.

PS. This applies for husbands exactly in the same way, but you mentioned you’re a wife

I had exactly the same question but forgot to #asknostr

Here in Spain you have public kindergartens, but also private ones Among the private ones there are plenty of different options where one could pick from

Unfortunately they are always overbooked, at least in my experience

I hope you could already find a new kindergarten for your son

Identifying one’s self with a political party (out of just two!) is even more retarded

All the merch being worn in public is somewhat embarrassing

In Europe we have even more retarded and more corrupt politicians, but since that’s kind of known, nobody who’s not affiliated to a party would defend any party to the extreme of being a walking ad

As long as non-KYC, I honestly don’t care about the technology behind. It should just work.

Of course, if custodial, I’ll never leave large amounts there

If only Bitcoin’s market cap were $200T and quantum was around the corner.

Oh yes, sir, would I freak then.

At $2T? Nobody cares, we’re not that important yet.

He must have eaten something particularly heavy that morning

Yes

Hey, remember even thinking might not be permitted. I still remember the scene of the UK lady praying in front of an abortion clinic.

She was of course detained.

LOL. Will there be an inflection point that triggers social rebellion agains this?

Because, as you say, for all my friends, family and close circles, everything here is just fine

Though European, I am exposed to much more US-centric socials and news, so I might be biased.

Is the US more fucked up in terms of cultural destruction, or are we Europeans like sedated sheep, who cannot see the truth anymore, and our situation in terms of cultural decay and collective mistrust is even worse?

PS. Have you ever used halcash as a method of payment? Pros/cons?

DAC8 is to my knowledge something that is going to be effective starting 2026. But from 2025 there was this Travel Rule, whereby information was also shared

I honestly don’t have a good understanding of all the details of all laws that are being passed, but the bottom line remains: Bisq and Robosats are more important than ever

War narratives building up slowly but surely especially since last year.

The lack of willingness to engage in political dialogue and negotiations, as well as the schizophrenic negation that political, military and economical actions against another sovereign nation should have any consequences, is leading us towards a dark place

The lack of public awareness or even interest in these topics is also no good sign at all

True. But Bitcoin is much more than gold in so many ways. Through its verifiability we’re able to “not trust, but verify “.

This creates a very healthy dynamic whereby incentives are aligned, and people seek harmony within themselves, communities and nature.

Gold is just relatively sound money, which is very good in itself but does not create any relevant cultural shift.

Go to the best Australian MBA degree and ask them to put you in contact with the graduates looking for establishing a SEARCH FUND

They do the work, you put the money. High risk high reward business.

Ni de coña. Por 1M tampoco. Por 10M me lo pensaría, pero quizá tampoco. 100M sería más difícil de rechazar, pero la pregunta es difícil. Cuanto vale tu libertad, y la futura libertad de tus hijos y nietos?

One thing is to be scared to disagree (see self-censorship on LinkedIn due to business reputation) and another thing is to openly call for an assassination

Maybe it’s normal if you grow up in the US with the first and second amendments, but for me seeing this from the other side of the pond this is WILD. To the level that a civil war is a non-zero probability event

Probably having a third established political party, to learn to see things not just in one axis, would help America stop having an us vs. them approach to everything

Thank you - I read both the article and your comments and as a complete non technical I still could not find the answer to the question I’m interested in:

if a pleb just wants a completely private, sovereign and unhackable messaging app to chat with whomever he wants (mainly 1:1 chats and small groups): is simplex better than white noise, or the other way around?

Para lo que quieres hacer con una Watch only, qué diferencia hay con por ejemplo Blue wallet?

What I wonder is whether when things go even souther than south we will have wanted to maintain anonymity all along, or whether that’s the point where war breaks out

How is being active measured? A daily interaction or just going into the clients app to see what’s up?

Also, the averages “per user” seem way off

Servus!

I definitely can relate. For me it’s a bit infuriating to see how unable are people to think from first principles

I think all comes back to the tools they have to measure value, which unfortunately it’s only fiat for them

Bitcoin fixes this

I hope having babies becomes an answer to that for many 🫡

Can’t wrap my head around as to why there are so few big families among bitcoiners, at least that I know of

It’s counterintuitive to me.

Big family = peak low time preference + POW

And for those of us with zero coding experience, but who would like to use AI to learn and create something useful, how do you see the likelihood of that happening, and the learning curve attached?

Ahí va! Tocó temas con los que yo no he tenido contacto jamás, pero precisamente por eso me pareció muy interesante por lo refrescante del enfoque

Seguro que habrá su versión de YT u otras plataformas, no se que formato buscas

I couldn’t agree more!
