Partially untangle and re-setup my HF rigs for notes and other stuff relayed by ionosphere.

Plan is to send some json files to start using fldigi on 40 or 20m using FSKR.

If you are ready to RX/TX let me know, the rig is listening on JS8Call for coordination. DM for call sign.

PS: `fldigi` is available on `brew`

PPS: this test requires sub 30Mhz rigs and licenses, walkie-talkies (HT) are not it.

The main signs of a scam-project 🗳

⠀

Catch information that will help you distinguish worthwhile projects from those on which you are 100% likely to lose money 🥲

◾️Project team throws around promises they can't deliver. For example, promises guaranteed earnings that cannot be accurately predicted.

◾️The project team is anonymous. When implementing a quality project, there is no point in hiding the team. Even the opposite, a strong team is one of the factors of success of the project, which is evaluated by investors.

◾️The project has no technical documentation or working product. Even the most revolutionary idea without proper documentation of its technical solution is nothing.

◾️An announcement of a super large-scale project with a small team. It's hardly worth trusting a project if there are a few people on the team and they want to become the new Google or Apple without any product.

◾️Roadmap, painted out for several years ahead. The crypto market is very dynamic, with the likelihood that several peers will have already been released in that time.

◾️Lots of consultants. Most of them are involved in projects for money or for self-praise. If there are a lot of them, it is not yet a sign of quality.

◾️Large share of the team in the allocation of tokens. Often a team wants to get 30-40% of the tokens, and loudly proclaims the high decentralization of the project. This looks very questionable.

◾️Low token price. Some may see this as a great potential for growth, but attention should be paid to capitalization.

◾️Weak marketing. Even the coolest product can fail if nobody knows about it. The absence of the project in any social networks is already a very alarming sign.

◾️A very big hype around a project. This is not always a good thing either. Maybe all the money went to marketing rather than the product itself. And it can also lead to external audits and investigations, which can have a negative impact on the further fate of the project.

◾️It is not clear what the project does. If you've studied the information about the project, but still don't understand it, you shouldn't carry money there. Either the team is unable to adequately convey information, or is trying to hide something.

◾️Project hides information about competitors. A good project should not be afraid of competitors. If they are not mentioned in the documentation, that is a reason to think twice.

❔ Is this post helpful to you?

👍 - Yes, it was interesting for me

👎 - No, I knew everything

As for me, I was born at a very young age.

Using hard money to directly support content someone has created that you enjoyed or learned from is actually the opposite of shitcoinery, that is a very bitcoin thing to do. It also provides an incentive for people to produce less noise and more signal, and takes the profit margin away from centralized platforms, and gives it directly to us.

Trying to create fake value with a graphic is not the same.

Not everything needs to be reinvented, we have QR codes and bitcoin for event passes.

Letting a sticker be a sticker is not stifling progress or innovation, from my view. 🙏

Coming out this from the lens of marketing strategy for a bitcoin community product? I would say no. There is truly no difference between a monkey JPEG and a sticker. These things should be fun and creative and we shouldn’t try to turn them into functionality that already exists better in other places. Once you open the door for something like what you are describing, it spirals into shitcoinery.

Currently, I like this badge thing as a cute way for communities to create and share stickers for fun: for free.

If I start to see this turn into a profit shill I’m going to opt out.

Having parameters around what constitutes a badge being awarded is totally fine in my opinion, but please do not sell access to a badge. That’s where you lose me.

If you offer a paid service and give the badge for free to show that someone is using that service, I think that’s cute. I’m talking about charging directly for a badge.

You can discourage this. Can bitcoiners please have a creative fun thing without exploiting it like shitcoiners & NFT people do? Please?

Before or after the fingerprint scan? #[4]

PopOS is my daily driver right now.

Ready for Costa Rica 🇨🇷

Got an Bluesky waitlist survey email yesterday. Are we getting close #[0] ?

Amethyst doesn't show Twitter preview cards because Twitter requires a full-fat JavaScript browser to get the OpenGraph tags from their HTML. Not even simplified JavaScript libraries work.

The app has to open the cited URL, run all JavaScripts in there and get the second URL to know what the link is about.

It adds risk, processing time, and increases the app size.

Let me know if you all want this, but my opinion is that we should not render Twitter cards until they add their OpenGraph tags to their first HTML result.

This is not hard.

man, running a Nostr client in a browser really gets the fan on my MacBook going 😰

It’s a bug in current Damus. I’ve been seeing it only when expanding reposts

Sent. Hopefully it works. Site is kinda glitchy for me
