⚡️😮‍💨 I accuse of a deep fatigue, I really felt it today, far from me complaining I've always been like that, it's my fault when something fascinates me I give my all without counting the cost to the detriment of the rest.

I still have to find the right balance between quality and rhythm, because 8 hours a day for 150 days is not sustainable. But I'm like a child, a passionate person: I love what I do too much. And if you add to that the addictive side of Nostr, that's it for me. But eventually I'll find the right cadence.

Good night Nostr

Kenshin 🥷 8mo ago

Good night and good retrospective! Find that balance and take care of your health, better to have a few less posts from you than nothing at all 🫂🧡

Has it though? I interpret this to mean that by the default, settings will be structured in such a manner to support the inscription spam. It’s just that now, we node operators can manually change a certain config setting to opt out of that crap. 💩 But those who don’t opt out will happily relay and store the spam by default. Or maybe I’m missing something?

Kenshin 🥷 8mo ago

Well if the PR had passed then all node operators would have 0 settings and choice to filter anything... So any 💩 would be allowed by default by all node operators without any way to change any settings.

Totally Human Writer

When I was a kid, a paperback book cost about £10.

Now? You can buy a No. 1 bestseller for £4.50.

What changed?

https://video.nostr.build/08e471760da05aa42d66f500f74a3eb2594c6c14693a25ce3252dc2ea6c3b875.mp4

You’d expect the price of a book to increase.

£10 in 1993 is equivalent to £21.20 today

(even using the Bank of England’s laughably low inflation calculator).

Books are not cheaper to write. Quite the opposite.

Bigger teams are required to ensure a high-quality product.

Authors need computers, digital tools and subscriptions.

Paper and distribution costs are higher.

So why are holiday paperbacks so cheap?

The publishing industry ate itself.

Amazon ran bookshops off the highstreet.

Publishers could only turn a profit through mergers and acquisitions.

They bought up indie publishers and fired the staff.

Now, the Big Five publishers squeeze every drop of value from authors.

Most new novelists receive no advance and around 7.5% royalties

(34 pence per book before agent’s fees, taxes and other costs)

The Big Five (just like the big Hollywood studios) focus on a few major releases.

These books receive almost all of the marketing budget.

Publishers beg retailers to buy copies at costs so cheap they are making virtually 0 profit.

Prominent display in Tesco or Sainsbury’s means the book might become a best-seller.

(Yes, supermarkets are the biggest physical retailers of books in the UK).

Even the 0.01% of superstar authors are making a pittance on each book sold because of a broken system.

Not to mention that most writers face years of rejections before even signing a deal.

If you are a film-maker, an artist, or a musician, you’ll recognise this broken model.

Creative people have been corralled into the walled gardens of big tech (even worse than the Big Five publishers).

I used to dream of seeing my book in a bookstore with the Penguin logo on the cover.

Now, that thought disgusts me.

There are still some indie presses fighting the good fight, but they won’t last.

If you write, the value you offer is linked directly to the audience you build, not just the content you create.

I’m not saying this to tell you where to buy books or whom to support.

Just trying to explain the book industry and my place in it.

I’ve self-published books and had wonderful support from three indie publishers.

Writing careers are never linear.

Who knows what the future holds for my words?

With that said, I won’t be begging agents to read my manuscript.

I’m not aiming to be on the shelf in Tesco for £4.50.

I’ll focus on building an audience and delivering value to them.

And I'll be doing it here on nostr.

Kenshin 🥷 8mo ago

Very interesting, thanks for explaining that industry!

I would also definitely support a v4v approach instead of feeding the established beast...

Parman - Activate OP_GFY now!!

A valid Bitcoin transaction is NOT the same thing as a valid use of Bitcoin.

People decide what Bitcoin is for, and adopt rules (via code selection) to enforce their wishes (run a node).

It's not the other way around. The code does not define what people wish for.

It attempts to!

This is why, "Oh it's a valid transaction, you should not stop JPEGs on bitcoin, you're a cEnsoRInG hypocrite!"

No, dickhead, all validation rules are cEnsoRInG rules.

Run Parmanode-Knots. It helps you filter and slow propagation of nonsense. Parmanode also helps you learn stuff so eventually you can build your own node without assistance.

A recap of the OP_RETURN "debate"

------

Core: Filters don't work.

Bitcoiners: They obviously do, otherwise you wouldn't need to remove them.

Core: We don't have the technical means, so we're removing the limit.

Bitcoiners: We gave you the technical means in a PR two years ago, Core rejected it, it was implemented in Knots and it works.

Core: We can't stop all spam reliably, so why bother?

Bitcoiners: Because life is not black or white, and fastening your seatbelt when driving a car is safer even though some people die in car crashes.

Core: Here's 7 transactions that even your precious filters didn't catch.

Bitcoiners: Here's 2 million transactions that were caught.

Core: You can't censor valid transactions just because you don't like them. They paid a fee!

Bitcoiners: There's millions of Nigerian princes contacting people through email every day. These are "valid transactions" too, yet you send those to spam. This is obviously not censorship, so that argument is deceitful and intellectually dishonest.

Core: What is spam objectively anyway?

Bitcoiners: The receiver - not the sender - gets to decide what's useful to them. You're removing the ability of nodes to decide that, implying you know best.

Core: These transactions will end up in blocks anyway, and we can't incentivize profit-seeking miners to go out-of-band.

Bitcoiners: It's not your job to incentivize or deter miners. Your job is to work on the Bitcoin client while prioritizing the one thing that makes Bitcoin unique and truly decentralized: nodes.

Core: But we want better fee estimation and block propagation.

Bitcoiners: So do we, but never at the expense of decentralization and self-sovereignty. Nodes run the show.

Core: This is a technical discussion. Stop philosophying and using analogies, you plebs!

Bitcoiners: We gave you a technical solution that works, the philosophic rationale and the logical arguments. Stop turning Bitcoin into a shitcoin.

Am I missing anything here?

-------

If you're seeing bias here, it's because you're too stubborn to admit that one side is clearly more informed, rational and morally calibrated than the other.

This is why there's distrust in Core. It's got nothing to do with technical competency and rational discourse. It's just pure and simple political shenanigans, whataboutisms, strawman arguments and in some cases sheer lies.

Walking through the woods. Thinking.

How many public companies will have a Bitcoin treasury by the end of 2025… 2026… 2027 and be stacking like no tomorrow?

For some reason I feel corporate adoption might move faster than we could think.

And family offices? Most have their wealth locked in old stone.

Real estate as store of value…That use case is dead. They just don’t know it yet.

I talk to them.
