Random Question: Is Danny still producing your show?
Thx! Unfortunately won't be able to make it, maybe next time.
Where is it?
Swiss here:
The government is indeed quite minimalistic and decentralized. It is led by the Federal Council, a seven-member executive body that makes collective decisions rather than being dominated by a single leader. This structure reflects Switzerland’s federal system, where the 26 cantons have significant autonomy.
Switzerland also has a bicameral parliament, consisting of the National Council (representing the population) and the Council of States (representing the cantons). Both chambers play a crucial role in legislation and oversight.
A key feature of Swiss democracy is direct democracy, where citizens regularly vote in referendums and initiatives on laws and constitutional changes. Additionally, national elections are held to elect members of parliament, shaping the political landscape. This system requires active participation but ensures that political power remains widely distributed.
Another key aspect is the militia system, which applies not only to the military but also to politics. Many politicians, especially at the local and cantonal levels, serve part-time while maintaining regular jobs. This fosters a close connection between political decision-makers and everyday citizens, reinforcing Switzerland’s decentralized and participatory governance.

can only support what was said above. to be very honest, having grown up in switzerland, it's hard to understand why so many countries have ruling parties and oppositions. in times like eg COVID it was especially visible that navigating the world was difficult, no matter which party was in charge. Since it was all parties in switzerland, there wasn't some opposition that was claiming that they would have done it all different after the fact
Probably the smoothest PWA out there

What's the easiest way to use this to Zap in Damus? I currently always use Zeus
Good things take time 🙏🏻 Looking forward to it no matter what
sorry if I missed it, but when will this be released? :)
yes totally understand, wasn't clear sorry. I meant more the previous comments about needing the right tools and special technical skills. If you use the right wallet software you don't need any extra skills right? Or which tools do you use to create a PSBT in such scenarios?
Am I mistaken or isn't it possible in most wallet software (eg Electrum) to just spend a UTXO again as long as it's not spent confirmed? I remember having done that in the past. So it's an "unknown" RBF
The Nobody Club now has a logo! 😃✨🎊 Many thanks to nostr:nprofile1qqs07xqktt77qzzj6jdyuyckexqu0tcpvnqczrqtcrlyr5mpm4720uqpzamhxue69uhk5umtd968g7fwvdshgtmwdaehguspz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucm0d9hx7uewd9hszyrhwden5te0dehhxarj9emkjmn9ff3s97 aka GoldfishThumb for the excellent work.

agree, although I wouldn't want to personally judge better or worse myself; as I'm not technical enough.
however the whole culture is so different from large company culture. you show respect and appreciation by challenging another persons viewpoint or idea, rather than all this fake applause to move up the career ladder.
all the comments in this thread are why I love bitcoin, lightning, cashu, nostr and the whole space.
some of the smartest minds on this planet challenging each others ideas and therefore progressing the space
thank you!
Sounds familiar.
I think we should still never give up on this, it still feels like magic that this works - even with some headaches - in a self soveirgn way.
Just give people options. PS. I love ecash
Watching Inside Job again after a very long time. Always a good reminder if you forget that the current financial system is not what you might want.
wow! amazing, thanks for all the work not only on damus but also lightning and bitcoin core I guess 🙏🏻
Agree, but he would be even if all he would have ever done was Damus. I see a lot of messages about Damus being for more technical people, which I don't get. Have been using it since very early on and it works exactly how I expect it to work.
Having such a good UX/UI with a project lead that focuses on principles and the protocol is just amazing!
nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s Are you still a bitcoin core developer? First time I see this in your bio. Impressed!
And what about the first actions of Trump? Still haven't seen anything from you in any way critical. If you are loud after the election, you should also be loud and critical now.
