⚡️🏆 Finally the owner of 0.04 BTC!

0.04009025 to be exact, I know that for some people, this may seem insignificant, even ridiculous. But I celebrate every little victory in my own way, because that's how I stay motivated.

After more than 300 days of hard work, I can now set myself a realistic goal, say 0.1 BTC by the end of 2026.

I am fortunate to have the unwavering support of many of you. The names I see appearing under my posts are often the same, and I want to repeat this: you are the real driving force behind Flash. The energy that powers it all.

This got me thinking. I would like to develop Flash into something that belongs to all Nostr users, a kind of community-powered account ⤵︎

Imagine if Flash were "co-owned" by the network: everyone who values independent information contributes a little, so that no one person has to fund it all alone. So that Flash's "salary" is spread across many hands, rather than resting on a handful of people.

In exchange, I will continue to do what I do best: provide daily information with consistency, integrity, and passion.

Tell me if my idea is crap. Anyway, my message was to tell you that I have 0.04 BTC

I honestly wonder how much of the internet has been scrubbed, and for how long has the capacity to consistently scrub it has been?

How much dialogue is real vs laundered misdirection?

This is a pretty dark existential hole, to which Nostr has a pretty great answer and shows just how important this really is.

I've been reading up on #silentpayments wishing I could set up my own self hosted node/server to scan for these in the background instead of using a public node. Maybe there are tweaks I could make.

It is pretty damn cool tech, and I’m excited to see where it goes. Bravo to #cakewallet for the implementation. Looking forward to using the silentpayments and pay join.
