Hey Mark. My next blog is about buying coffee with bitcoin and why I think it's important. Do you mind if I add this quote to it? I know we disagree, but I promise I won't be mean.

Yes! There's already one Nostr Obsidian Plugin, but I think it only works on Desktop.

That's why I tried it, but I've heard it on a few podcasts since then, now I'm hooked.

Highlighter had notes at one time.

What do you think about a plugin that posted to the note kind on nostr? It could be public or encrypted.

yes - missing n good idea - nostr:npub16yvvw6g8dn9pqmh6uymjcsmy69lpdj0zch7jjy4sk67rpespc6gs596q7y please integrate with nostr link saw has x n fb - also add LN-URL ZAP accepting link

Thank you. I think this is a viable way to #grownostr. Especially now that we hit all time highs.

I don't have an answer yet. We're still early. Imagine if the world was addicted to Encyclopedia Britannica and we are early adopters of Wikipedia

We're like: http is gonna change the world!

Encyclopedia maxis: http is neat, but pointless. You should spend your time at the library instead, where we talk to about Encyclopedia Brittanica charts instead.

We're like: Have ya seen YouTube?

Encyclopedia maxis: What did you call me?

Attention Nostriches!

My wildlife charity website was in dire need of a massive upgrade and overhaul, so I asked around on Nostr whom could help rebuild it and nostr:npub16yvvw6g8dn9pqmh6uymjcsmy69lpdj0zch7jjy4sk67rpespc6gs596q7y offered his expertise.

Well what a brilliant and talented web designer he is!

I am completely blown away by the quality, timing and execution, to say he is great is an understatement- he is brilliant!

Thank you so much Doe!

Next time you’re looking for a web designer look no further than Doe, you’ll be thrilled.

Oh and the best thing is that you can pay him in sats - it’s a win win!

💜🧡🫂

Looks good, just needs a zap button and a ostrich icon that links to primal.net 😀

It's possible. Nosrtr wallet connect let's you do some interesting things already. I've zapped multiple people on Discord with it, but my lightning channel closed. 😱

Is there an Obsidian cheat sheet?

Sometimes, I need to buy a cup of coffee at the gas station and gas stations don't take bitcoin yet, so I sell to pay $2.49 on my credit card.

Is coffee a shitcoin? Yeah....Sorry, not sorry.

It can be done with Prisms.

Gold is a better yardstick. It's obvious when you see different currencies reaching all time highs at different times.

I also like to price International real estate in bitcoin because I don't know what a million Australian dollars means.

These are my favorite, but I never thought of self-hosting primal.

In 1995, one of my professors said the media was controlled by corporations. At the time, they also began collecting phone numbers for grocery store rewards and "other stuff."(pun intended)

At the time, the Internet felt free from corporate influence and I was bullish on freedom. I asked my professor, "Do you think the Internet could change things?"

She said, "It's too early to tell."

About ten years later, the corporations took over the Internet.

I'm on nostr because it reminds me of the Internet in 1995. It feels like we're taking control back from the corporations. I suspect they will come eventually. In some ways they are already here, but the difference is the corporations can't keep the plebs from running their own relays.

I also have a different perspective on the corporations now. I now see the CEO's like Jack want to do the right thing and often share my vision of what the Internet could be, but are themselves victims of government censorship.

That's why I'm here.

Power to the People!

Amythyst has approximate location like the Orange Pill App now.

That's interesting.

Tether USD is not a scam, but each Tether USD is backed by the biggest ponzi scheme in the world, U.S. Savings Bonds.

As Sovereign Engineering comes to a close, I'd like to take some time to reflect on the past few months. It feels like it was yesterday when I was sitting in a Panera Bread in NYC listening to a Nostrovia episode when these guys nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft and nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc mentioned a crazy idea to bring a bunch of hackers to an island in the middle of the Atlantic to work on Nostr stuff for two months. At this point I had only recently heard about Nostr, in fact, I was still debating between building on Farcaster vs Nostr 😅. By the end of that podcast I was hooked, I knew I had to find a way to get myself into the Cohort and start contributing to the future of the web. So I started working on a client, learning all about the intricacies of the protocol as I did. A constant flow of Nostr podcasts streamed into my ears, fueling the next few weeks as I put together what eventually became Flockstr. (Funny enough, Flockstr was originally supposed to be a Patreon/Substack client where users could subscribe to creators and consume long-form content). Once my MVP was done I sent DMs to a bunch of the big names on Nostr to get some feedback. Luckily, despite not having much cred to my name at the time, I got some awesome encouragement from nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn & Pablo which pushed me to keep going. Fast forward 4 months and now I find myself sitting in a cafe in Madeira, writing this retrospective as I get ready to return home tomorrow.

In that time I've:

1. Turned Flockstr into the first Nostr Calendar events client

2. Built Flare.pub the first YouTube/Video sharing app on Nostr

3. Built Find Me On Nostr a fun little game to spread the word about Nostr and share some sats

4. Contributed to the Nips repo

5. Visited Bitcoin Park in Nashville to meet a bunch of Nostriches like nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx, nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424, nostr:npub1yaul8k059377u9lsu67de7y637w4jtgeuwcmh5n7788l6xnlnrgs3tvjmf, nostr:npub1atn7mlwt08erz4ap47gef92xfey65a4z9ed9vec53u5kc9v94pusl6h4x3, nostr:npub1j8y6tcdfw3q3f3h794s6un0gyc5742s0k5h5s2yqj0r70cpklqeqjavrvg, and others

6. Joined SEC-01 in Madeira where I got to work with some of the most capable developers in the space and discuss the future of the web (I could gloat more about my time in nostr:npub1s0veng2gvfwr62acrxhnqexq76sj6ldg3a5t935jy8e6w3shr5vsnwrmq5 but this is a kind 1 after all so let's keep it somewhat brief 😂)

7. Created Seeker, an Events app for Bitcoiners built on Nostr ready to onboard the next generation of Nostriches.

8. Presented at Bitcoin Atlantis where I was able to meet some incredible people like nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m, nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8, nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr, nostr:npub1zuuajd7u3sx8xu92yav9jwxpr839cs0kc3q6t56vd5u9q033xmhsk6c2uc, nostr:npub1jpvsahpy0vgq7gu8nfqjkeskce0gwjk8jpss590xkvjh5xxe4epsruqgsz, nostr:npub1zjx3xe49u3njkyep4hcqxgth37r2ydc6f0d7nyfn72xlpv7n97ss73pvrl, and so many more.

All of that in just a few months. I was just checking my GitHub, and my first ever Nostr commit was Oct 5th, 2023 marking tomorrow my 5-month Nostr-anniversary. It's amazing how much can happen in such a short time. Thanks to all who I've had the pleasure of meeting so far in this journey, I can't wait to see what the next 5 months have in store. 🧡

The stuff you've made is amazing.

Please send any issues you find on Amethyst to https://gitworkshop.dev/repo/amethyst

We are trying to move out of GitHub and use a Nostr-native GitHub alternative.

Wait...is this like gitstr?

Good mornin'.

Try to get some work done today.

Any tips on how to stack so many sats like this?

Replying to Avatar Dani

That is what we have been doing since May 2022 nostr:npub18tcc00lqpysdsurg567dllzg7jeyr5wcyk2v6w23rx3s3ygyze2qv32nxx It has totally changed our finances, and it has given us more purchasing power and a good learning experience of having low preference.

Wait...You got about 4 million sats?

No. Real estate didn't even beat gold over the last 30 years. The only reason people invest in real estate is because they can get other people to make the mortgage.

If you live in a house, you're sheltering, not investing. You can't realize much of your gains unless you move to a shack in the middle of nowhere, Alabama.

This is not investment advice. I'm definitely not telling you to buy gold.
