went to a non-bitcoin conference and got more bullish on nostr than at a bitcoin conference. it's great to hear all the positive feedback (and also a bit of envy) from outside the bubble.

i’m rich!

Good Morning , ☀️

Call your parents. Tell them that you love them. Do it now.

You might take my life, but you can’t take my soul, you can’t take my soul.

You might take my freedom, but you can’t take my soul, you can’t take my soul.

Be proud of who you are don’t copy what others do.

Love is more powerful than fear

Activity on here does seem to be dwindling

Anyone got the stats on Nostr growth atm? Feels quieter week on week!

Participated in a session about spam mitigation in anonymous systems and the conclusion is basically that there's no solution except proof of work, i.e. sats. Tor guys were there too.

participated in a session on offline payment systems for vulnerable communities (refugees for example). cashu was proposed as a solution. very cool.

at a cypherpunk conference. some thoughts:

- interesting humans with many different backgrounds: hacktivists, cryptographers, civil society activists, infrastructure guys, electronic voting people, vpn people, tor devs, solarpunks, radio comms, file sharing, internet archive, general freedom tech, and many more.

- bitcoin is mentioned all the time but there are practically no bitcoiners in sight. I'm the bitcoin guy now.

- everyone knows about nostr. people are very interested in it. maybe 2-3 nostr users are here, no devs. many people representing bluesky. I'm the nostr guy now.

- many people know about cashu and bitchat. lots of excitement.

- many synergies, lots of groups and companies working together. the urgency is obvious. cypherpunk vibes are strong.

verdict: bitcoin and nostr are severely under-represented in communtities where a lot of important work is done. shitcoin phobia isn't a good reason to not engage in a much larger discourse about privacy, freedom, and technology. we haven't lost the plot but have a lot more to do.

You could also spend just 70 mil fiat.

zaps are fucking awesome

bitcoin is the best money

stay humble and stack sats

beautiful morning to be alive, be happy ⚡️☕️

it’s not a cost of living crisis

it’s a crisis of central banks knowingly decimating your ability to live

Friday night is date night. 🥂

I think I’ll need to work with the factory to get a purple ostrich. It’d be great to take to conferences to promote Nostr.

They can only control us if they control our currency.

Never forget!

Don’t let suitcoiners fool you into believing that Bitcoin is just a SoV, when it is also the best MoE and UoA we have.

Also got this scare across all the fingers on one side from stabbing a bread knife into a cutting board and my hand slipped down the blade I was drunk, deep cut, bled for days.

Good morning, Nostr! 🥐☕

Today, be the whiskey in someone's coffee!

So far, transactions do list in the Android emulator, but it seems totally broken on @primal iOS -- primal iOS doesn't even seem to be trying to get the transactions from our NWC server. Anyway -- I'm not sure if many iOS users use Primal... but let me know what platform you are on, that will help me narrow it down.
