Check out LightningSpore.com, mushroom and electronics shop which accepts BTC+LN We specialize in open-source software and hardware to automate growing of mushrooms, plants, and other stuff

My code is mostly just stuff from the readme. It’s calle’s fork of a repo. Please definitely make a PR! I’ve been distracted by other things but I hope to contribute to the repo as well.

I was doing something maybe relevant a few days ago:

https://github.com/callebtc/python-nostr

```

import json

import ssl

import time

from nostr.filter import Filter, Filters

from nostr.event import Event, EventKind

from nostr.relay_manager import RelayManager

from nostr.message_type import ClientMessageType

from nostr.key import PrivateKey, PublicKey

from nostr.relay_manager import RelayManager

# initial constants

pubkey = PublicKey.from_npub("npub1sp0rex959gshtgypve45upmm4vepxm4xea9eja4f2ftfj97euv5s3rj02v")

filter_me = Filters([Filter(authors=[pubkey.hex()], kinds=[EventKind.TEXT_NOTE])])

filter_allow_everyone = Filters([Filter(kinds=[EventKind.TEXT_NOTE])])

known_good_relay = "wss://relay.damus.io"

# get my content from a known good relay

subscription_id = "getmyshit2"

request = [ClientMessageType.REQUEST, subscription_id]

request.extend(filter_me.to_json_array())

relay_manager = RelayManager()

relay_manager.add_relay(known_good_relay)

relay_manager.add_subscription(subscription_id, filter_me)

relay_manager.open_connections({"cert_reqs": ssl.CERT_NONE})

time.sleep(1.25) # allow the connections to open

events = []

message = json.dumps(request)

relay_manager.publish_message(message)

time.sleep(1) # allow the messages to send

while relay_manager.message_pool.has_events():

event_msg = relay_manager.message_pool.get_event()

events.append(event_msg)

print(f"received {len(events)} events!")

relay_manager.close_connections()

```

I just ordered my first sticker for marketing, and to include with orders. Spent a good chunk of time with those AI decorative QR code makers, but it was difficult to achieve results as good as the sample images. Ended up using a more basic Python QR generator.

Here is to some guerrilla marketing around town!

Check out the shop if you have a chance!

https://primal.net/e/note1hlyww08m9nzxh5dk0vdpqm4qhkdmvszwtv4y9a86ku90eu2hhcrquh54g4

Works great on damus, but when I past the note id in Primal it doesnt load anything.

Then I try nostrudel

https://nostrudel.ninja/#/n/note1hlyww08m9nzxh5dk0vdpqm4qhkdmvszwtv4y9a86ku90eu2hhcrquh54g4

And it shows me more the raw note, which looks like it is in Markdown-like format. Really cool! I would love to use markdown in my notes. Do I need to to use Habla to just use markdown?

# You don't own Bitcoin because you don't want to.

> In a world of an ever growing number go up; people that lives in countries like Venezuela, Argentina, Turkey; or any other country where dilution of money is the rule; It is hard to stack sats (buy Bitcoin) with ease... But sometimes you just gotta open up a little bit and let information flow in. That’s why you’re here. You are going to stack sats without buying it!

---

**Caveats:**

1. It’s not going to be FREE (nothing is) **it will take you a couple minutes of your time** and some will make you walk for it.

2. **It won’t make you rich**, but will add up and eventually who knows, you may have enough to be…

3. By the time of writing all this sites are up, if they don’t operate anymore or links are broken when you’re reading this… **Don’t shoot me.**

**Walky Walk with [sMiles](https://join.smilesbitcoin.com/lurusan301e) sats for walk:**

Pretty straight forward. Earn Sats for walking. You can also spin the wheel and use Fort Nakamoto for extra sats.

---

**Bitcoin Lottery with [LNscratch](https://lnscratch.com/):**

Also very self explanatory. Scratch a digital paper to get a chance to win sats when you get 4 check-marks in a straight line. I usually get 21 sats every time. You only need a Lightning wallet like GetAlby, Wallet of Satoshi (this are the most popular you can take a deeper look at it) and you are set.

**Get paid for easy tasks [sats4likes](https://habla.news/[handle]/sats4likes.com) :**

The tasks are usually: **Follow, repost, coment, like and/or subscribe. That’s it**. You get paid certain ammount of sats set by the owner of the task. The only downside is that you need a twitter account (bad bad, you should be using Nostr) to log in. But if you don’t care about that here it is.

**Nostr:**

The best way to stack so far, join the force and get zapped (sats) for any note (post) people find to have value. **At the moment there is a whole ecosystem being built upon the protocol layer**. All this clients (websites or apps built over Nostr) are going to be interoperable, meaning that with one keypair (account) will be possible to access them all.

**The point is that Nostr uses Lightning Network (Bitcoin) as a form of transacting value**, giving the value for value model a tremendous boost.

Imagine getting sats for posting a funny meme, or getting sats for writing an article (like this one), or for making songs and using stemstr, zapstr.live… **The clients are as many as we want them to be, and can make anything we want them to make.** Possibilities are endless.

Here is a intuitive and short introduction **[Hey Nostr](https://www.heynostr.com/)**

_**If you have any other forms of earning sats please let me know! I’ll add them to this article. Thanks for reading!**_

**Get paid by sharing content [Stacker.news](https://stacker.news/):**

It’s a great way to not only stack more sats but stack some knowledge and keep up with recent news about Bitcoin, Nostr, Finance, Tech, etc… Simply create an account with any of their methods, Although Lightning is recommended. Then deposit some sats if you have them already (10 sats are necessary to post or comment), then just watch your bag grow. The more interesting and well executed your link/discussion is the more sats you get.

**Stack when you use your FIAT to buy things: The Bitcoin Company, [Fold app](https://use.foldapp.com/sign-up?referral=P47WYXPR) , Lolli**

I put all of the together because they’re essentially pretty similar. When you purchase a giftcard you get Satsback (instead of cashback), they work and don’t in different locations; so do your own research in that matter.

**[Fold](https://use.foldapp.com/sign-up?referral=P47WYXPR)** is a more popular option (currently only working within the US) because they have a card you can use and get satsback even easier.

**Get sats by listening or making Podcasts**: [Fountain.fm](https://fountain.fm/show/XsscCx4P85iMpafjBZAB)

If you’re a podcast lover you definitely need to check this one out! **Just by listening you can earn sats**. You can find podcasts that has this feature enabled, whatever topic it is (doesn’t need to be strictly about Bitcoin or Nostr or even Tech Related).

If you have or want to have a podcast, I recommend taking this option. You don’t need sponsors to make your podcast profitable. **Boosts** (like a sat donation) or **Sat Streams** (giving to you a certain amount of satoshis for each minute people hear your podcast) are a way to monetize. The better your content is, the more people will throw money at you (quite literal).

---

**Use [Lightning Faucets](https://www.lightningnetworkstores.com/faucet) Like this one:**

Simply follow the steps and redeem your sats.

If you live in a country where inflation is not stupid high (Like the US) consider a donating to the cause.

**Read for sats [Bitcoin Magazine App](https://www.bitcoinmagazine.app/):**

I wasn't sure to add this one but it does work if the only thing you want to do is stack and don't mind articles too much.

Just read articles all the way down (your fingers can do it faster than your eyes _wink wink_) and get sats for it! You can also reedem flashcodes from BM Twitter (yuck); they're very active with those codes!

Note to self, figure out how he did this cool note

I definitely wouldn’t eat a whole mushroom when it’s that big lolol

wait

https://lightningspore.com/index.php/product/blue-meanie-spore-syringe/

blue meanies have a spheroid cap that is not so smooth and the species used to be called "panaolus cyanescens" it's not a cubensis nor is it really a psilocybe though some have decided to name it that way - it's cap is not smooth and golden and shiny like psilocybes (eg aucklandii, eg ... i forget the name of the one that grows on eucalypts in southern australia)

the blue meanie doesn't have such a distinct skirt, sometimes absent, and though they do get a little bit of a golden tint and the golden sheen they are generally blueish and are way more potent

anyway

i need to have blue meanies then, since that's what is available

gonna start my planz

It is true. Blue meanies are kinda weird they are Pan Cyans, but it is also a variety of Cubensis. And to make it even more complicated the picture was Psilocybe Cyanenensis which is a wood loving mushroom!

Just put some Zaps on agar! It is an interesting species of exotic psilocybe mushroom.

More info here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psilocybe_zapotecorum

Send me your zaps!!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

Have a great weekend cultists!

This is pretty sweet. Been thinking of making something like this for mushroom substrate pasteurization

It is sus. One of their many incentives for us to use their hardware is it generates a secondary public WiFi network that subscribers can use when out and about.

It’s xfinity so it’s like one of the most popular providers in the U.S. which is setup in this way.

If I used the xfinity modem I think I’d get unlimited but I like having my own modem. But it’s starting to not be worth it. I could just get the xfinity modem and turn off the wifi and keep using my DDWrt router.
