any suggestions that don't require asking? probably need to research nostr more. and it could be just who i follow.

for a while i was following anyone that posted an npub.

might have to watch the wizard of Oz again. nice post

BT is pretty gay, for the same reason streaming is gay. I'm sick and tired of ads. i realize the service needs to be monetized to function.

but Bitcoin doesn't. nostr doesn't. bittorrent doesn't. bisq doesn't. decentralization doesn't seem to need ads. i just feel out of sync with Twitter.

if anyone has hacks or suggestions for curating my nostr feed, I'm all ears

those lines look a lot like the ether symbol

i need to work on curating my feed...

nostr is more interesting than x for posting because apparently deleting isn't a guarantee.

I'm currently working on getting my airbnb setup again for rentals.

as an attraction and benefit, I'd like to add a Jacuzzi. But one of the challenges, as well as attractions to my location is that is snows in late winter posing a significant additional cost to heating the spa.

my plan is to put in a geothermal ground loop to keep the water even keel, then add solar to the house and a small Bitcoin mining operation to heat the spa water.

that seems like the most cost effective, long term solution to having a Jacuzzi outdoors. i have to pencil it all out, but i think that would offset all of the costs if i did all of the installation.

more to come...

just spent a grand on a business idea that I've always to do: custom branded belts and leather merch (wallets, purses, keychains, etc)

and I've only made a few belts. this is a big step for me.

i think i could make a reputation for making high quality leather belts and goods for organizations looking for products that are on brand. it's a very niche product and market.

I'm pretty excited because i think it's going to be a challenge that i can solve.

I'm thinking of ways i can document my journey on nostr.

what happens when a utxo value falls below the tx fee?

will a 100 sat utxo be worth 100 sats in 2140?

if you can't move the utxo on-chain without destroying the value, doesn't it mean that utxo is worthless?

is a 100 sat utxo worth 100 sats in the year 2140?

isn't that utxo essentially worthless because it can't me moved on-chain anymore because tx fees exceed the value?

i think i understand what you're saying. basically, why would that evolve.

I'm trying to understand what systems might evolve out of bitcoin far down the line. what happens when a utxo doesn't exceed the tx fee?

some teach utxo management to prevent locking up funds. but what if you could leverage that problem? that's what I'm getting at

that's true, you would need to be contacted. but verification would be up to the receiver (most likely a store), so the giver wouldn't need to be connected, just the receiver.

I'm reading a book that suggests one of the reasons America won the space race was because of geographic location:

rockets lifting off from Florida require less thrust than rockets from Russia🤯

I'm still fascinated with what happens to btc when it gets to $0.01 = 1 sat. the private key couldn't be printed on the note, but the public key could, allowing for verifiability.

tx fees would lock the utxo from transfer for probably anything less than 2,000 sats, probably a lot more if network congestion averages high.

You could also redeem the notes from the issuing authority for an on-chain transfer.

i feel like this is an unintended feature of bitcoin (but maybe it's by design) to back a physical cash, off-chain system.

am i just day dreaming?

that wouldn't work... someone could take a picture of the note, pay for something with the note, then later, maliciously transfer the btc after the transaction.

what happens to a utxo in the future when #bitcoin tx fees exceed the value to the utxo?

we say those are useless, and to save your utxos so you don't have a problem in the future with #utxo #management. but that situation creates a very possible use case:

what if a nation state takes a large sum of bitcoin and divides it up into utxos that can't be transferred on-chain (utxos the size of 100, 500, 1000, 2000) then prints each utxo private key on a promissory note so they can be transferred physically off-chain?

each note could be verified at the time of tranfer and transferring the value on-chain would result in the destruction of that utxo.

the nation state would essentially back their entire currency system with an amount of btc that determines the exchange rate, and they would only need to peg their physical cash, not their entire currency market cap.

it would essentially eliminate counterfeit cash and preserve all on-chain tx fees, while backing their monetary system with a hard, finite asset.

would love to get some feedback on this idea

he actually listened and created an account. proud of this kid.

wish primal would render the animated gifs in my pfp and banner 😐

these posts look pretty good on primal. just as good as X

trump was warned of empty shelves and financial turmoil from tariffs and firing powell. his u-turn pushed stocks higher

https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/23/business/stock-market-dow-jerome-powell-fed-trump/index.html

president donald trump faced warnings from top advisers and ceos about potential financial chaos and empty store shelves due to his tariffs on china and threats to fire federal reserve chair jerome powell. however, after a meeting with retail ceos who expressed concerns about the economic fallout, trump shifted tone and backed down from his threats, prompting relief on wall street. this u-turn led to a surge in us markets, with the dow up 678 points or 1.73% on wednesday afternoon. treasury secretary scott bessent's comments that the trade war could take considerable time to rebalance also eased market concerns.
