Yes, obvious. The error (if indeed there was one) was possibly mine presuming people need to know your party affiliations. Why shouldn’t they just listen to what you have to say and see if it might somehow make sense without prejudging you.

Although back to the first point, wasn’t there a trend a while ago for Tory MPs to rework their websites to distance themselves from the party?

Sadly, the image is straight from the Tudor website, not your wrist. One day…

It’s pleasing that some UK politicians are now on Nostr - well done nostr:npub13k8vp6ylmagffppknaepalcpl0g07rrkwxgdq8c732lnad4gmekq4huf2d.

However, It’s hard to find party affiliations on either his Nostr profile or his website. 🤔

To save you having to search: he was a Conservative MP who lost High Wycombe to Labour in 2024

Well, Vanguard clients who want exposure to #Bitcoin through an ETF have a couple of courses of action: get exposure elsewhere or…

Here is the full text of Satoshi Nakamoto’s #Bitcoin white paper. You might have to zoom in to read it, but as a general rule for Bitcoin it’s better if you zoom out.

Help!

An update concerning our choir and members of the committee who are worried about #Bitcoin. One opinion was that “a drug dealer from Guatemala might send us 1,000 Bitcoins” and we would be done for money laundering. I have been asked to remove the lightning QR code!!

First, apologies to all Guatemalans.

Second, I would love it if anyone felt like making a small donation to the choir at https://chorale21.org.uk/news/a-21st-century-choir.

nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm is an awesome #Bitcoin Lightning setup (Hub and Go). I set it up but how to transfer all Sats from nostr:npub1hcwcj72tlyk7thtyc8nq763vwrq5p2avnyeyrrlwxrzuvdl7j3usj4h9rq (sorry guys) to this new, more self-sovereign home? I wanted to transfer everything but was told I had to leave 3% behind for Lightning fees.

The answer, transfer 90%, and then 90% of the remainder, etc, etc. Eventually I was left needing to transfer 20 Sats which took zero fees.

I’ll keep WoS as a super simple demo for when I’m orange pilling people (please don’t judge me) and for accepting Sats from those who have my WoS address.
