After a long career subverting the civilisation they inherited, the boomer retires with all the wealth they bled from their descendants and with a smug smile they say to themselves, "I deserve this."

If I then renew the NWC connection it all speeds up fine. Any advice on steps I can take to resolve this?

I do my best Saylor impressions and ask them "How many chairs are you sitting on right now? Are you all in on the chair?"

What is the best way to onboard someone onto #nostr so they can receive #zaps these days?

Not worrying about self custody etc just the least friction to get them into nostr and able to receive sats?

When you scan that QR it will display as sats in 99% of wallets, but it was a baller move tbf

Totally agree.

I've yet to see anything interesting come out of the conference with the exception of nostr:nprofile1qythwumn8ghj7ct5d3shxtnwdaehgu3wd3skuep0qy0hwumn8ghj7cnfw33k76twd4shs6tdv9kxjum5wvhx7mnvd9hx2qpqhk0tv47ztd8kekngsuwwycje68umccjzqjr7xgjfqkm8ffcs53dqr23eea saying fuck the state on a panel.

They had advertisements boasting about services to bypass the mempool and get non-standard transactions mined with 3 mining pools that control more than 51% of the hashrate. Literally promoting and celebrating attacks on Bitcoin.

Every Bitcoiner needs to take their next step asap. Take custody, run a node, start mining, sell your fucking house, whatever it is just do it.

We are all Bitcoin.

Removing OP_RETURN limits will ultimately not change anything because garbage data is already being inscribed in blocks at a lower cost as input data. It does however set the precedent that node runners should not be able to configure these things and that the blockchain is for any kind of data, not just financial transactions.

Does that make Bitcoin a better money? No.

- It makes people using bitcoin as money have to compete with people abusing bitcoin with shitcoinery for block space and increase fees.

- It bloats the UTXO set making nodes more expensive to run, ruining decentralisation, the thing that makes bitcoin not a shitcoin.

Adding an anti-inscription filter will make it harder (not impossible) to attack bitcoin in this way and sets a precedent that the blockchain is strictly for financial data. This aligns with the intention of the protocol as stated in the title of the white paper "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System"

Does that make Bitcoin a better money? Yes.

- It makes it harder for people to use bitcoin as something other than money, keeping the block space almost entirely for financial transactions.

- It will prevent further bloating of the UTXO set, giving improvements in storage some time to catch up and ensure nodes remain (relatively) cheap to run.
