So when BTCPayServer integrates Cashu and we make ecash work nicely with a simple NFC tap to pay – will this mark the end of the credit card era? Just maybe 👀.

Bullish.

I’ve tried all sorts of productivity tricks over the years. Some worked to some extent (like waking up early for example), but majority didn’t. 

One “trick” that I found to work almost every time when applicable is to “just do it”. 

I know it sounds stupid simple, but surprisingly a lot of people put off “just do it” and make up all sorts of weird procedures, steps to get things done. And that’s not to say that those things don’t work, but I found this other thing to work better, faster. 

What do I mean by “just do it?” Instead of making to-do lists, or using timers to tackle hard projects, reverse the process and just go for the biggest, meanest, most intimidating part of the project. Throw away to-do lists and timers and just jump right into the toughest parts with brute force, determination, and if helps, lots of caffeine and high energy music. This is what has worked for me. I think the biggest key to all of this is to not think about any of it. Not a single thought, no plans, just jump into it RIGHT NOW and tackle everything you need to do to get it done in no particular order.

Instead of aiming for months, aim for hours. I know… sounds crazy but that’s what I found to give me the biggest productivity boosts. Use existing solutions if applicable to speed up the process. Don’t build it all from scratch (though sometimes this is necessary). Use stuff that saves you time, processes that are scalable. I don’t know what that looks like development-wise, but I can name all the power features for designing stuff.

It’s not always applicable because there are days when you don’t have big chunks of things to work on and to-do lists are on the agenda. That’s totally fine, knock out the to-do’s one by one.

Curious if anyone else takes this approach?

Anybody know of platforms for music venues and artists to find each other for shows/gigs? Like an app where venues can find suitable artists for a show slot and request an artist to play it + vice versa? 🎶🎤🪩

Celebrated Bitcoin Pizza Day at the cryptoanarchist haven Paralelní Polis, Prague. Privacy and scaling were the hot topics of discussion. Prague, a former capital of the Holy Roman Empire, is the most beautiful city I have seen. Vast areas of centuries-old architecture just go on and on. ‘Awesome’ is the proper term here. It makes you feel connected to the generations before us and part of something bigger than yourself, something that is worth preserving. I will be back soon for BTC Prague.

Getting stickers made for local merchants... which is better?

Hey, remember that time when the Nordstream pipeline was sabotaged, and then after a while most investigations quietly concluded without reporting on who did it?

Weird.

Anyway, anything good on tv lately? I hear Shogun is good.
