#introductions #doshit #proofofwork

Hello from the UK, I've been playing around and learning how to use Nostr since last October, I didn't really do an introduction then so...better late than never!?

I've never really had any presence other social media and so my plan is to remain Nostr only and shun the centralised shit.

Bitcoin is getting me towards a place where I can at least consider some options and maybe start to scratch my creative itch.

As a kid my parents explained tome two things which stuck with me relating to work - "Don't do manual work like my father, it's hard and you'll get nowhere" and "You'll never get rich working for someone else" Sort of good advice as I've done ok. But... the The fiat mines are less and less appealing! I'd love to be more part of the parallel economy 😎

I have done a fair bit of tinkering over the years and am a bit of a jack of all trades master of none!

I've been busily collecting gear and materials and now it's time to put my shit out there😲

Let's see where this takes me🤔

Blacksmithing.. steelwork fabrication.. woodwork.. green woodwork... Laser cutting/engraving....

Watch this space Nostriches!!

Been using a weighted blanket for 6 months and I certainly prefer it. But does it actually improve sleep quality?

Currently doing A/B tests to try to quantify the effects.

but which is a good payment method? don't want recommend IBAN or revolut

I don't know how Strike works, but if Strike is Bitcoin with KYC, don't use it.

Robosats, decentralized and anonymous Bitcoin exchange.

I will try to make a brief summary of why Robosats.

- This year the Mica regulation has been introduced in the European Union and the global travel rule, Bitcoin on- and off-ramps are being controlled through KYC. If your government knows that you have Bitcoin I assure you that you will end up paying some tax that they will invent.

- It is decentralized, it currently has 4 coordinators.

- It is anonymous, runs behind tor, and is focused on privacy, it does not collect any buyer and seller information.

- Easy to use

- It runs on Lightning.

Advantages over bisq:

- Easier to use, faster since it runs over lightning and does not require any heavy app like bisq, just the tor browser.

Advantages over lnp2pbot:

- More anonymous and decentralized, since lnp2pbot depends on Telegram which is not exactly anonymous and decentralized.

Advantages over HodlHodl:

-HodlHodl is a centralized service that collects buyer and seller information.

Here you have the statistics of the last day, as you can see it has a more than acceptable premium of 2% for buying Bitcoin without KYC.

I find I rather like Bukowski - from what I know of him. He’s raw and real.

Authentic people feed my soul with their ideas/art/love/expression. Whatever you call it, it’s all the same to me.

I also suspect he was rather sensitive. He had a Bluebird hidden away.

Bluebird

there's a bluebird in my heart that

wants to get out

but I'm too tough for him,

I say, stay in there, I'm not going

to let anybody see

you.

there's a bluebird in my heart that

wants to get out

but I pour whiskey on him and inhale

cigarette smoke

and the whores and the bartenders

and the grocery clerks

never know that

he's

in there.

there's a bluebird in my heart that

wants to get out

but I'm too tough for him,

I say,

stay down, do you want to mess

me up?

you want to screw up the

works?

you want to blow my book sales in

Europe?

there's a bluebird in my heart that

wants to get out

but I'm too clever, I only let him out

at night sometimes

when everybody's asleep.

I say, I know that you're there,

so don't be

sad.

then I put him back,

but he's singing a little

in there, I haven't quite let him

die

and we sleep together like

that

with our

secret pact

and it's nice enough to

make a man

weep, but I don't

weep, do

you?

— Charles Bukowski

Nothing been trying to use olas for a few weeks. All I can do is just scroll can’t post

It's absolutely wild that you can't use YouTube with a VPN IP while not signed in. Internet is getting completely unusable. I rather not use YouTube than turn off VPN or god forbid, create a Google account.

Note: this applies as well to all other FOSS youtube apps and frontends like LibreTube, NewPipe, yt-dlp. They also get broken.

посмотрела фильм Реинкарнация», 2018 год

для меня это страшный фильм, спала плохо, до сих пор образы в голове

Question:

I currently have all my Bitcoin on a Ledger and purchased both a Coldcard Q and Blockstream Jade Classic.

When I move to the new hardware device, do I import my existing seed phrase OR do I generate a new seed and then send the Bitcoin to a new addy?

Recommendations welcome 🙏🏾

Same. Having issues as well

How are you signing (logging in)?

Just flew internationallly yesterday... Been a few years since i last did that. The amount of #bluelight beaming down from literally everywhere around me was appalling. 9 hour flight, no espace, no sleep. I wonder how much this contributes to jet lag and cirdadian rhythm upset. Time to get me some solid sun shine

Two private LN nodes running on my phone device via ZEUS; with multiple decent sized—simple taproot—private channels; enough inbound and outbound liquidity for all my needs; UXTOs were coinjoined too; also using a bunch of custodial wallets for decoy. 🐱

i haven’t dressed in business casual in so long 🥲

today’s an important day, got butterflies in my stomach
