I really want to try nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg , but was under the impression that it was currently invite-only. I’ll have to check again.

What non custodial lightning wallets would you suggest? I have been using WOS for small amounts to zap on Nostr, but today’s news has me considering alternatives.

Instagram has reportedly blocked Jill Stein’s account. She is a US presidential candidate for the Green Party.

One of the things I find most interesting about #nostr is its potential to circumvent gate-keeping and expand the reach of political actors.

The author of the US Constitution and Bill of Rights, James Madison, wrote extensively under an anonymous pseudonym.

Along with his co-authors John Jay and Alexander Hamilton, he published The Federalists Papers under the name "Publius." The federalists wanted their readers to focus on the arguments rather than their personal identities.

Madison was the primary author of our First Amendment and later became the 4th President of the United States.

It’s a good feeling when things start getting built. What are your other plans for the kitchen? Countertops and backsplash?

Any creator of anything knows this feeling:

You experience someone else’s innovative work. It’s beautiful, brilliant, breath-taking. You’re stunned. Their ideas are unexpected and surprising, but perfect.

You think, “I never would have thought of that. How do they even come up with that? It’s genius!”

Afterwards, you think, “My ideas are so obvious. I’ll never be as inventive as that.”

I get this feeling often. Amazing books, music, movies, or even amazing conversations. I’m in awe at how the creator thinks like that. I’m humbled.

But I continue to do my work. I tell my little tales. I share my point of view. Nothing spectacular. Just my ordinary thoughts.

One day someone emailed me and said, “I never would have thought of that. How did you even come up with that? It’s genius!”

Of course I disagreed and explained why it was nothing special.

But afterwards, I realized something surprisingly profound:

Everybody’s ideas seem obvious to them.

I’ll bet even John Coltrane or Richard Feynman felt that everything they were playing or saying was pretty obvious.

So maybe what’s obvious to me is amazing to someone else?

Hit songwriters often admit that their most successful hit song was one they thought was just stupid, even not worth recording.

We’re clearly bad judges of our own creations. We should just put them out there and let the world decide.

Are you holding back something that seems too obvious to share?

Walking into a bank now feels like using an outdated technology with a frustrating and slow user experience.

Why are you bullish?

Having a productive and focused Friday. Best day of the week so far.

I had a chance to listen to the interview on my commute yesterday, and I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed it. Between Walker’s interview style, Ben’s optimistic mindset, and the humor throughout, it was great listening.

I thought you guys were being sarcastic here of Nostr when mentioning *NSYNC. But it was really a highlight of the episode to hear about Ben rollerblading to boy bands in the 90s and leaving negative reviews for rival a cappella groups.

This was my first time listening to The #Bitcoin Podcast, and I look forward to hearing more. Great job.

In case I don’t see ya, GA, GE, and GN.

Thanks 🙏

I had hoped that would be the case, but wasn’t sure.

My #Lightning node has been offline for several weeks because I’m going through the moving process with my family.

What does this mean for my node? Will the channels close? Does my #bitcoin get returned to me on-chain? Anything to be concerned about?

I’ve been noticing the same and was just wondering about this today. I wonder if it’s eventually possible to require some small amount of sats to follow or comment?

I remember watching this show back in the day. I mostly enjoyed it, but some of those stories were really sad. There were some well adjusted people who legitimately just wanted to save money, but I remember more than a few people who seemed to have real social or mental health problems.

I don’t have a hookup on sock puppets, so instead I’ll share my favorite sock puppet duet.
