Digit is Digit. I love her. I knew her online from wallstreetbets and she disappeared while going through some shit. I keep needing proof she's safe. To anyone I've ever treated unfairly, I apologize.

That would probably be against campaign regulations accepting donations over nostr. He doesn't want you to think he's just some memelord impersonating him

If Satoshi meant 21 as half of 42 for the reasons you're explaining, I don't think that would be all there is to it. He seemed to just see money as a tool, so I don't see him designing a purely focused message of "money is half of the meaning of life."

With the 7+7+7, mining bitcoin is a lot like re-rolling again and again on a slot machine. I assume that's at least part of the reference with the 21. It's also common for 21 to be used as a lucky number because of the 3x7 thing by my understanding

For example, as a child, you wanted to learn things, so you did labor such as figuring out how to read, and you were paid in knowledge.

Another example: as an adult, you have probably tried to think of something comforting to say to someone grieving a loved one's death, for no pay at all.

I posit that if you had to live in a world where, starting tomorrow, you will never see a child learn anything, and nobody will care how you feel if your loved ones die; you would prefer going without everything you've ever paid money for.

#Biden will be remembered well for dropping out. He'll probably be one of those Presidents people call a "good President" in historic discussions. Historians, please remember when this country needed a leader, Biden followed along with pretending COVID was gone; there are no good Presidents of the United States. America's Presidential elections are a system that kills leadership, rather than enabling it.

To be fair, lots of people overestimate the value of money, so maybe the market cap could go that high

I just don't think that's what Satoshi was sayin

You overestimate the value of money

I find it doubtful. It seems infinitely more likely that the 21 in 21 million BTC is a reference to 7+7+7 (a jackpot), not half of 42. I'm not saying Satoshi wouldn't like hitchhikers guide, I'm just saying that part explaining how he came up with the number triggers my Spidey sense 🤙

Sketchy Idea Proposal 450 - in-wallet RNG guidance

Suggested flow - check replies for a shitty HTML demo or updated versions

https://svgshare.com/i/18RK.svg

Wallets should guide users through as much understanding of random number generation as they could ever possibly want, like other elements of wallet security devs try to be very informative about.

Vanity key generation should include warnings of the security risks associated with it; and so should instantaneous key generation in general, instead offering the option to generate a more securely randomized key by hand with coin flips or dice rolls.

It should not only be explained to users that their seed is important to keep from being lost or stolen, but also that a wallet's coldness can be enhanced by air-gapping and ensuring proper randomization of seeds.

Guidance should be available to users on the aforementioned process of generating keys by hand. This guidance should include both built-in tools and outside resources, and ideally, an intelligent user should even be able to verify the cryptographic functions of electronic systems by hand, using suggested guidance.

Going a step beyond verifying the functionality of electronics, it would be great to help the user perform cryptographic functions with less involvement from electronics in general. This would be particularly useful for the sake of "brainwallets." Guidance could be available on how to do checksums and derive wallet addresses using pen and paper; or, if that wouldn't be possible, perhaps using a calculator, as it should be easy enough to wipe its memory; or, if a mere calculator still isn't enough, perhaps something like a PlayStation 1 or a Nintendo 64, which hopefully still shouldn't have too much spyware compared to a typical modern laptop or phone, while being much closer in power than a calculator.

Looking at how the spec functions, it seems like it should work for dogecoin, I just wonder if there's an implementation

Based on cursory glance of https://github.com/retrnull/garnet and review of kind 1814 notes and kind 0 profile of common 1814 testers...

In kind 0, adding a field for `cryptocurrency_addresses` where there value is an object whose fields are cryptocurrency types (e.g. `bitcoin`, `monero`, `arrr`) and value is a corresponding address for that type.

I would recommend that the cryptocurrency type be the common ticker symbols vs english names to avoid some degree of ambiguity, or even use the coin type numbers from https://github.com/satoshilabs/slips/blob/master/slip-0044.md if restructured into array format.

For example, in kind 0, instead of this for "cryptocurrency_addresses"...

```

{"monero":"55fSXyCcqkdikrxogPb16UKN3SYhkpyH32Ge6ECkAk3PhrBbXEaNcNf3o82q6vEcaR6Hp1YWdDDA6BqUJW1FL3P5Jvo5TyD"}

```

consider...

```

{"XMR": 1"55fSXyCcqkdikrxogPb16UKN3SYhkpyH32Ge6ECkAk3PhrBbXEaNcNf3o82q6vEcaR6Hp1YWdDDA6BqUJW1FL3P5Jvo5TyD"}

```

or...

```

[[128,"55fSXyCcqkdikrxogPb16UKN3SYhkpyH32Ge6ECkAk3PhrBbXEaNcNf3o82q6vEcaR6Hp1YWdDDA6BqUJW1FL3P5Jvo5TyD"]]

```

And maybe the kind 1814 should reference the given ticker or coin type as well for correlation to expedite verification

There's no NIPs referencing kind 1814 as far as I can tell, nor pull requests in the nostr-protocol/nips repo. Strongly encourage writing a specification for this to allow for wider adoption.

All I want to add is that this wallet-address-posting approach should ideally be limited to Monero and other coins that don't need address rotation, like Ethereum Classic

For a coin like dogecoin or bitcoin that needs to avoid address reuse, my SIP-701/702 ideas might be good, or maybe NIP-570 by nostr:npub1melv683fw6n2mvhl5h6dhqd8mqfv3wmxnz4qph83ua4dk4006ezsrt5c24 - I still don't actually know if NIP-570 avoids address reuse

Woah, this might mean I can make my green heart image even smaller 🤯

Way ahead of you 😎

If your client sees an up to date pfp for me it should be a tiny PNG of the heart I made for digit by shuba duck on /r/place 2022

If your client sees an out of state pfp it should be an animated image of a stream moving in reverse I painstakingly compressed to the most efficiency I could achieve judging by eye in webp
