Sid- there just aren't that many of us using SimpleX. It's getting better every version though! . I want to use it myself, but not many Bitcoiners I know are there.
And waaay to many still doing their groups on telegram!
(Now I know exactly what Mallets means when he talks about the network effect)
It occurred to me that posting my npub on xitter accidentally linked my (anon) npub to my kyc identity. And I never meant to do that! 🤬🤬
Had a bit of a scare last night.
9pm: nostr:nprofile1qqstwd7k7hyv5nf94v9zchtcwe6gyak529j0ah7tgjueudwrryj2d6ck96nw5 was at my sister's house, climbed onto the dining room table when no one was around. Helped herself to 2/3 of a bar of dark chocolate, a small bag of Hershey's Kisses, a whole bag of salmon treats.
She's gotten into this kind of mischief before, but this was the first time she was at real risk of toxic poisoning (chocolate, caffeine, and other ingredients can be life threatening to dogs).
I don't have kids and she's my first dog so this was my first "Oh shit, this could be bad" pseudo-parenting anxiety experience. I felt physically ill.
10pm: Tried giving her hydrogen peroxide to make her throw it up.
Pro tip: hydrogen peroxide loses its fizzle a few weeks(?) after a bottle is opened. So it did nothing.
10:30pm: Called Poison Control (LONG ass wait times, $95 service charge) and they said to just monitor her for certain warning signs. Okay, cool.
11pm: My sister realizes Kuma ALSO ate all the used tea leaves out of a tea strainer (wha... why?!!). More potential toxicity.
Called Poison Control back (LONG ass wait times): "get her to throw up or you'll have to take her to the ER."
Faaaakkk.
They suggested a bit of peanut butter in a bowl w/hydrogen peroxide. Said most dogs will happily slurp it all up.
11:30pm: Minor struggle to find a 24hr drug store to buy fresh hydrogen peroxide. Like wtf.
midnight: The peanut butter trick worked. They said to keep her active for 15 min to get the hydrogen peroxide foaming up in her stomach. Ran her around but her iron stomach is legendary. NOTHING. Literally shook her in my hands to get more jiggle and foaming going 🤣. Nothing.
12:30am: Called Poison Control back. LONG ass wait time. But while I was waiting, SHE FINALLY THREW UP! I've never been so happy to see vomit (so much vomit).
1:30am: Kuma and I finally got back home.
She actually snuggled with me most of the night (unusual for her).
Today: All is good.
Wow Kuma!! That is hectic! I'm so glad to hear that she finally threw up and is doing ok!! 🙏🙏😳😳
Please someone tell me that this is not her actual job? Because if it is, I'm twice as excited, maybe 100 times as excited about banning tiktok!
👍👏👏👏 now Pls add your lightning payment (for zaps). That's a major portion of this new free and open global network!
Hi utxo- I'm getting an error message when connecting/testing this smp server. simpleX suggests that the fingerprint may be incorrect. I can't connect to it and I can't delete the connection either.
Can you see if the connection string is still valid? Thx.
Will DM also.
🙏
That's a helluva grinder!! 🫡 you deserve it after the manual grinder learning steps!
Interesting. Did they achieve their own benchmark tho?
Shane- I'm watching a Saylor presentation (from 13 years ago) and he is talking about how the electro-mechanical physical terms used to apply, but no longer do. (Physical Books and magazines and physical keys, etc etc in 2011).
And so I thought this might help inspire your thinking of the new terminolgy we need to start using.
And Merry Christmas to ya!

Officially running my first node using nostr:npub1aghreq2dpz3h3799hrawev5gf5zc2kt4ch9ykhp9utt0jd3gdu2qtlmhct OS on a Rasberry Pi 5! Absolutely stoked to be contributing further to the decentralization of the network. I'm excited to continue learning more about the network and how to empower myself and other to be a fully sovereign individual.
Congrats, I remember that for myself and It's a special feeling!! 💪👏🫡💪💪💪
I should add, in addition to Robin's podcast, the conversation specifically with nostr:npub1k7vkcxp7qdkly7qzj3dcpw7u3v9lt9cmvcs6s6ln26wrxggh7p7su3c04l was what inspired me to get started on here. I've seen so much good news around Nostr and am very excited to hopefully have somewhere to connect with other bitcoiners.
Jeff and Robin's conversation was so fruitful and really inspired me to join this new wave of information.
Jeff Ross!! Wow, you started off with one of the greats!!
In the SAME jar???
Yes, Jason is correct: setup your LN address via primal BEFORE you post your story on Nostr.
We want an instant, easy way to send sats to you via integrated Lightning , right as people read your story. It hits hard for us too.
Chase- Shout if you need help. 🫡
Wow, achieved in-domain hacks on the 3rd parties!
But Reading the comments in there it seems like Google ignored individuals alerts for quite a few weeks to allow Workspace trials. Grrrr.
Yes. Very. It finally got mine going!! Works brilliantly now!!
