Man … money is tight again. I already upped my rates this year, but costs keep going up.

Is 75 USD/hr too cheap for web dev already?

I mean, it might be if I can't bill for enough of my time. Stuck between a rock and a hard place: provide well for my family or give a solid service for a reasonable rate.

There is none. The gospels and and epistles were written during the life of Christ and during great persecution of Christians. Eucharistic processions would only become a practice after the Church became much less vulnerable.

Yep. Those hypocrites made their works public so to boast in them. I don't see how this relates to Eucharistic processions, which are fundamentally a humble undertaking, being that we boast not in our own works but in those of Christ and do so publicly.

Right, we are trying to bridge from a user-domain paradigm to a un-domained key-pair paradigm. I don't know if a third way exists and would make for a reasonable and useful bridge.

NIP-05 is really just human readable pseudonym for an npub, by definition. I don't see a way to shorten or make human readable an npub without pseudonymization, so if already pseudonymous, what system would be more intuitive?

Yes. We need both a lofty goal and a way to take steps toward it. I have few disagreements with their content, so I think we can start toward it.

Leadership, or the lack thereof. I think we would have good participation if the priests and bishops would organize it, but we have fewer priests than we need and we continue to hemorrhage members to secularism our some sort of Protestantism.

Imagine if Christians had the boldness to do such public displays of faith. I long for that day. Eucharistic processions followed by a parade thousands strong on every major feast day? Sign me up!

I follow the New Polity guys. They have a lot of good things to say, but I feel they're just a little too idealistic and translating the goal into "what do I do tomorrow" could be helped. I also don't think they understand Bitcoin (they think it's just another crypto). I actually chatted with Jacob Imam a couple times, and I can say he's a pretty cool dude.

Maybe not the sole killer app, but one of many killer apps. There's a lot of money in real estate, so the potential for that application is really high in particular.

Me too. All my friends who are or who have really potential to be quite wealthy are so because of real estate. It's not that I hope the industry gets "put back in its place" but an empowering of the little guy to play on the same field.

🤣 I get it. There's so much fiction in the market except when it comes to the actual borrowing of money.
