I find it strange when people are upset if someone dislikes them…do you like yourself??? Every little bit??? Do you like everyone??? If you were everybody’s flavor you’d have no flavor at all.

I'm of the belief that the bull market officially starts when Buffett kicks the bucket.

How do you get on zero fiat if you have to service the interest of your bitcoin loans with fiat every month? Am I missing something?

If you haven’t gone back to X and are Nostr only, I want to follow you!

Nostr

and I follow

For those of you not following along on the shitter, Luke has still not denied writing the messages.

We are now at "the message are real", but "they're just Luke having a conversation with someone bro which makes it totally fake news to say this is his plan bro he just wanted to be prepared in case god does command him to make a hard fork and save bitcoin from the pedos bro thats why he says in the messages that this needs to be done sooner rather than later and that this is the only way forward or else bitcoin dies but its absolutely not a plan bro."

Note that Mechanic has made no comment as to whether he'd support Luke's proposal. Someone tag this little shit i dont know what his handle is.

Rather than a hard and fast weight limit on luggage on a commercial flight, it should be combined with the passenger’s weight and given and cumulative total. Let’s say it’s 250 lbs total. If I’m 150 lbs and my luggage is 75 lbs, boom, no surcharge. But if I’m 240 lbs and my luggage is 20 lbs then I’m paying a ten pound fat charge.

Who is your favourite ‘toxic’ #bitcoin maximalist? #asknostr

Stop calling it “tax season”.

It’s not a season like football or baseball.

It’s a day of outright theft preceded by weeks of making you do unnecessary and unpaid work.

Left X because I think Palantir is making kill lists of people who criticize Israel.

Once they’re done slaughtering the middle east, you’re next btw.

If you could automatically block anyone with a bitcoin AI slop avatar, would you use this tool? #asknostr

Here's a question for nostr.

If I had a Sparrow Wallet and used a different receive address each time I sent bitcoin into the wallet

Some bitcoin is KYC

Some bitcoin is non KYC

Am I OK since I'm using different addresses?

Or would my non KYC bitcoin be doxxed because their in the same wallet?

Not gonna lie, as a 2020 bitcoiner this bitcoin stuff is exhausting. Been a fucking gay nightmare so far kinda wish i never got involved with this.

Trillions are coming bro. Two more weeks. Trust the plan bro. The government is here to save us bro. Zion Don is gonna buy more bro. We’re sovereign individual LARPs bro.

Everytime I zap someone vie Lightning from my wallet, it takes 5-10 seconds for the zap to settle and for everyone to see it happen on nostr.

Everytime, I think "this could've been an instant nutzap". "Tap, boom. Tap, boom. Zap zap zap. I would be zapping so much more."

The reason a nutzap is instant is obvious. At this point, I hope that everyone knows that a Cashu nutzap is just an instant transfer of an IOU from one user to another.

Let's step back and look at a pure Lightning zap on nostr for a second. We all know that the vast majority of Lightning zaps is effectively an exchange of one custodial IOU against another one as well. Most people use custodial wallets. So why is it still so slow? It's the Lightning settlement between the two custodians that often takes 5-10s to complete. Note, some users actually do run their own node, manage channels, run LNURL servers, etc. But they still get the same UX.

Here is an idea. Let's say a user doesn't want to use Cashu. Pure Lighting maxi which I think is great. I've been a Lightning dev for years before I started working on Cashu. This user could still be nutzapped and even remain fully self-sovereign if they run their own node.

What if the receiving user's Lightning wallet (custodial or non-custodial) was able to melt all nutzaps it receives by watching the nostr wallet ("nutsack") of its user? Either for every nutzap or whenever enough nuts are accumulated, the service could withdraw the nuts to the user's real Lightning wallet.

Effectively, this would improve the zap UX by showing everyone an instant zaps. The receiving user's custodian (or themselves) would have to run something like a nostr-cashu-wallet-watcher on a server to receive while being offline, but they have to run a Lightning node and LNURL and all that anyway (they already have a server).

Even without a server, normal nostr clients without true nutzap support could withdraw all nuts accumulated while they were offline back to their Lightning wallet everytime they come back online. The only real difference to a normal zap is that noe it's the receiver's job to settle via Lightning, not the zap sender's.

Nevertheless, zaps on permissionless social media like in nostr will never be completely trustless. They can't solve the sybil problem for instance. If you want, you can zap yourself an infinite amount of normal Lightning zaps on nostr without moving s single Satoshi. We faked zaps in the early days like crazy just to have fun.

But it actually turns out, all that doesn't really matter too much at all. First, people seem not to abuse the sybil issue. We had fun for a few weeks but then it got uninteresting There is not enough to gain, no algorithm to fool, no benefit of lying (at least not yet). Second, zaps are literally free money given to you from a random person. Why would someone rug you if they want to literally gift you money? It doesn't make much sense.

I think we have a lot more to learn. nostr:nprofile1qqs04xzt6ldm9qhs0ctw0t58kf4z57umjzmjg6jywu0seadwtqqc75spz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wshszxnhwden5te0wpuhyctdd9jzuenfv96x5ctx9e3k7mf0dv4ph5 recently said he thinks we have explored 1% of what zaps can be. He might be right. I think the reordering of events that a bearer zap system like with Cashu brings could open new doors for insane UX and it looks like we're actually going to find out. We have zero-config wallets now. Imagine how cool it is to bring your money wherever you go with your nsec.

Keep exploring, cypherpunks. We do live in the best of all times. Bullish on Bitcoin, bullish on Nostr, bullish on Cashu 🧡

Holy Mother!
