How did you get into this? Did you go to art school, or are you self taught?

AN OATH TO THE SMEARERS

This is an oath to the smearers out there, those of you who plague society and social media with your bad behavior.

If you are of the uncivilized type who fear that you might now and then fall into the trap of mimicking others' uncivilized conduct and call people names and use slur, you probably should read this as a warning.

And if you want to change things for the better, you might want to read it to the end and join me by signing up to this oath.

Making people accept lockdowns, taking COVID-19 vaccines with an unknown substance and not protesting climate change taxation, regulation and other measures to avoid "boiling the earth", would never, ever have worked without deception, coercion and SMEARING, of which the latter is nothing but good, old fashioned BULLYING.

"Traitor", "anti-vaxxer", and "climate denier" is unfortunately still being used by people from all walks of life.

Ironically enough, the same people who actively use such slur are in general agreement that we must make our children understand that bullying is immoral and wrong.

Well, let me tell you one thing:

Those of you who fall into this category are all 🤡🤡🤡.

And allow me to add the following:

There can be absolutely no doubt about the fact that it is the elected politicians who are the worst when it comes to smearing.

Like lying and brute force, smearing befalls them naturally, as they use it routinely in public and closed debates.

Politicians are the worst smearers and they set the standard for the rest of the people.

At the same time as politicians continue to drive the value of their shitcoins called "national currency" to zero due to intentional debasement in a policy we all know as "inflation", they now keep shouting out lies that #Bitcoin    is a threat to "financial stability" (as if the banking system they have set up provide any stability at all), that this new form of private money is being used at large scale to finance terrorism and that it destroys the climate.

Now, if you are foolish enough to take their slur for truth and choose to shun Bitcoin, then it's yourself and the ones who are near and dear to you who will be at a loss.

You not acquiring bitcoin, means less demand and lower prices for the rest of us who want to exchange our labor and NOK and USD and EUR and other shitcoins for Bitcoin.

You in fact become a subsidy to the rest of us, by abstaining from buying it.

Which is perfectly ok with me.

However, if you jump on the bullying bandwagon and smear people who make a different choice than yourself, you can be 100% sure that I will keep my promise to you and call you out as an uncivilized, ignorant moron who should go to the mall, buy a red nose and send a job application to your local circus.

Because, following years with uncivilized behavior during the climate change and lockdown, I've gotten sick and tired of you.

My patience is gone, and I wan't none of this smearing shit anymore.

Zero.

Instead you should read up, acquire knowledge and take part in civilized discourse.

So, heed my warning:

Smear your fellow man at your own risk.

Because:

I solemny swear that I will come down so hard at you and make you taste such a good dose of your own medicine that you will regret it immediately.

I promise that I will do this, whether your bad behavior is related to Bitcoin or anything else.

If you want to sign up to this oath, let me know in the comments and pass it on to your followers.

#bitcoin

If I had to do it over, I would use a bitcoin seed phrase for a key using Get Alby or Current to get my nsec from a Bip85 child seed.

I talk less and less about #bitcoin on nostr because it feels like I'm preaching to the choir or telling a lion about the carnivore diet.

I find applied cryptography completely facinating. Nostr is awesome cryptography. PGP is really cool. I also love steganography, but bitcoin is the only one that takes away the power of the money printers.

This AI stuff is facinating.

I asked Chat GPT to teach me how the Jefferson Wheel worked. Here is the answer it gave me.

"Certainly, I'd be happy to explain how the Jefferson Wheel, also known as the Jefferson Disk Cipher, works.

The Jefferson Wheel is a simple yet effective method of encrypting messages. It consists of multiple concentric disks, each with letters of the alphabet arranged in a random order. To use it, one must align the disks so that the letters on the outer and inner disks match up.

To encrypt a message, you set the disks to a particular starting position, and then for each letter in your message, you locate the plaintext letter on the outer disk and read off the corresponding ciphertext letter from the inner disk. This process is repeated for each letter in the message, creating the encrypted text.

To decrypt the message, the recipient needs a Jefferson Wheel set to the same starting position. They align their Wheel accordingly and reverse the process, finding the ciphertext letter on the inner disk to reveal the original plaintext letter on the outer disk.

The key to the Jefferson Wheel's security lies in the randomness of the letter arrangement on the disks, making it challenging for anyone without the correct starting position to decipher the message. It's a clever and historical example of a polyalphabetic substitution cipher, which makes it a significant contribution to the history of cryptography."

Blockstream.😂

Grubles had a great idea about using a liquid static address + boltz over TOR as a form of payment on a tangible object that's more private than on chain bitcoin.

I think I'll try it soon. I'll need to make a tutorial though.

Legacy luquid addresses like bitcoin addresses that start with 1.

I screw this up all the time. I want to be as economical with the bags because I'm a cheapskate Bitcoiner. So I make the bags too short. Then I can't close it or I can, but it leaks and breaks the seal. 😡

Anyone have the link to that awesome nostr video I saw yesterday?

I think it was made by JeffG, but I'm not 100% sure.
