I'll be mirroring my X account here and hopefully finding some good conversations.
Welcome bro!
Thrilled that President Trump kept his word and pardoned Ross Ulbricht! 🙌
Ross was my gateway to Bitcoin back in 2012. I discovered Silk Road and its vision of radical freedom—trading anything peacefully and voluntarily. It led me to Bitcoin, and though I had no idea what Bitcoin was and only spent it back then (at ~$10/BTC!), it shaped my path forever.
Ross embodied early Bitcoin’s ethos: decentralisation, freedom, and creating a better world. He was a non-violent first-time offender, yet the system threw the book at him, locking him up for life to send a message to Bitcoiners.
Let’s not forget: Bitcoin was never just about Number Go Up. It’s about fixing the money to fix the world. Ross’s vision lit the way for so many of us. His freedom is long overdue 🧡💪🙌🙏
This is exactly where Ian should be.
Literally made for truth seekers like him.
Welcome bro! 👊 🔥

How many new nostriches are here because of nostr:npub1xr7t5h0l25ej73pm04zgz9afeexyzsjx67s5v0xxf2sshjn4sx6sep2gqh?
Welcome brother! This is the perfect place for a truth seeker 🔥💪🙌
Proud of this new video.
Took a few days to make!

So I've started creating Weekly Bitcoin News videos...
Would love to get your thoughts and feedback, Bitcoiners! 🧡💪
Also on YT:
You guys do realise that nostr:npub15dqlghlewk84wz3pkqqvzl2w2w36f97g89ljds8x6c094nlu02vqjllm5m is maintaining a list of those who’ve kept their laser eyes for entry to the 100k party right?
Thank you for the zaps guys.
This is so fucking cool right?! 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks to all the new follows 🙏
I’ve just followed loads of you back.
Hit me up if I missed any of you bitcoin/nostr plebs! ⚡️🙌🔥
Yeah but when you have multiple new follows, you can’t select each one to follow back.
I’ve worked out Damus app is better for this 👍
Hey mate 🙌
Can’t see individual follows though. I just want to follow them back
Anyone know how I can see recent follows on Primal? Or is there another way?
It seems to be ordered by follower count.
Yeah I’ve done that and also asked Venice.ai which is better. Keen for some personal experience too
Bitcoin only needs a communication protocol. Eg you can use radio waves or satellites.
The internet does make bitcoin more convenient for now.
Anyone have any advice on registering a company in the Cayman Islands or similar offshore location?
I’ve had similar issues. Anything to do with bitcoin seems to be contentious there.
Huge milestone: First demo of Nostr Web Services (NWS) bringing TCP to Nostr. With NWS, you can host any existing web application on Nostr without having to use DNS or even announce your public IP to the world, simply by sharing your service's npub (or nprofile).
Try it out the demo yourself. Here is a Cashu test mint running with NWS. Let's use curl to retrieve the mint's information. The request travels from your computer to the public NWS entry relay, then through nostr to the service's NWS exit relay. At the other end is a Cashu mint with HTTPS encryption.
```
curl -s -x socks5h://relay.8333.space:8882 https://nprofile1qqs8a8nk09fhrxylcd42haz8ev4cprhnk5egntvs0whafvaaxpk8plgpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuwpnxvejuumsv93k2g6k9kr/v1/info --insecure | jq
```
I can't stress this enough: THE MINT RUNS BEHIND HTTPS!
The NWS entry relay can't read your traffic. It's encrypted. We can host public entry relays that can be used by anyone.
This means we can plug the entire internet to it 🌐.
Let's plug it into Cashu for now. Nutshell wallet supports socks5 proxies (that's how it uses Tor). By setting the public entry relay as the proxy, the wallet can now connect to a mint's npub/nprofile and communicate with it via NWS.
This is going to be so freaking cool. And it's going to be a lot more useful than just for Cashu. There are still bugs and issues that need to be ironed out but the code is coming out soon. Watch this space.
Wow, incredible
