Moment of silence for this 1 sat that will spend eternity in bluewallet purgatory

“Shut up & Sync.”

Blocks should be full, it's kinda the point.

Blocks should be smaller.

Two things can be true.

One of the best things about Nostr has been all of the new people that I've met and followed over the past two months. It's been quite refreshing to make new connections and to rekindled old friendships.

How does one empty a wallet that requires a 1% reserve for every transaction?

What does BlueWallet sunsetting LndHub mean for you?

* If you use BlueWallet for on-chain bitcoin: ✅ nothing

* If you use BlueWallet with other LndHub services (like LightningTipBot or LNbits or Alby): ✅ nothing

* If you use the Lightning account in BlueWallet hosted by them: ⚡️ Move your sats out.

I see a lot of people arguing that food prices are at an all-time high. This is actually manifestly untrue. Even if we look at food commodity prices in nominal price terms -- not even trying to adjust for inflation, looking back at the past 20 years, nominal price levels for wheat, corn and rice peaked around April of 2008, with the price of rice nearly double what it currently is in *nominal* terms right now.

It is simultaneously true, that food prices have risen substantially in the past 3 years. But it's also true, that food commodity prices reached an all-time low in 2017. So the inflation has been very real, and has caused real pain.

Is Twitter a branch of Coinbase exchange?

Remember the other day when I said about 7,000 ⚡s had been sent via Nostr compared to 5k the prior day? Well, um, it's up to 28,709 as of right now. 🤯

twitter is already dead but it will probably take a few years before the rest of the world figures that out
