Anyone have some movie and/or show recommendations for me and nostr:npub1hu3hdctm5nkzd8gslnyedfr5ddz3z547jqcl5j88g4fame2jd08qh6h8nh to watch tonight?

Lesser-known titles preferred, but not required…

So with fees being high I'm looking for a new lighting wallet so I can buy Bitcoin on lighting for my kids because they only get 20-50 at a time

What your best recommendation!

Ideally self custody is best, but don't want to lose money on constantly opening channels.

I'm thinking once the lighting amount is large enough, move it to on chain

Merry Christmas, #Nostr. 👶✝️

My name is Apollo.

I will inherit this vintage 2023 npub when I am old enough to subvert the State.

Well said! The minuscule hash rate of my 3 under-clocked space heaters will continue to point to Braiins pool.

1. Core's plan was always to roll out 80 byte OP_RETURN incrementally by starting with 40 to see if it broke anything and then ramping shortly up to the intended 80.

2. #Bitcoin Core, having finished that project, has had 80 byte OP_RETURN for nearly a decade now. 85%+ miners have been set to 80 bytes for the same amount of time. Read the commit log. Read the bitcoin-dev mailing list.

3. You admitted on Shitter/X that you went along with the Core team because you had your own fork where you can make any changes you'd like.

4. Now that Jack has invested in you to decentralize mining, you've cast a shadow over the launch by revolting against the implicit op_return contract in #Bitcoin Core which has been standardized by the network over the last decade.

5. Whirlpool transactions are trivial to detect and you could whitelist them no problem. This is about you kneecapping #Bitcoin fungibility while gaslighting the space about decentralization.

6. What's more centralized? The development process in bitcoin:master with a decade+ track record, ~1000 developers, and 20,000+ code reviews, or Knots, where one dude makes god commits daily, breaking critical aspects of #Bitcoin?

7. Until Ocean.xyz launches #StratumV2, you're just another gatekeeper. Ordinals ia going to run out of customers like every other shitcoin. We don't need to compromise Core just because you didn't get your way 10 years ago.

8. GFY.

Running three S9’s, underclocked with fan upgrades, as space heaters. We have a natural gas furnace and I calculated at my current rates for gas and electricity it is 3 times for expensive to heat with electricity. There is the benefit of some non-KYC sats, and setting back the temperature on the thermostat for the natural gas furnace. Helping secure and decentralize the network with a minuscule amount of hash power not included in the top three mining pools. The best part is the ability to talk about bitcoin when people come to our B&B as ask; “What is that?”

Those that say home mining isn't profitable aren't thinking about the yields home mining can offer. Owning and operating Bitcoin miners at home is like buying transaction fee insurance. Another undiscussed yeild of Bitcoin mining for pleb miners. As fees go up, my miners yeild more sats for the same work they do providing me heat to dry my laundry, dehydrate my produce, heat my home, ect. All while keeping the network decentralized, and participating kyc free.

Why would God command Abraham to sacrifice his son??? Because God hates child sacrifice. Let me explain 👇👇👇

In Abraham's time, gods requiring child sacrifice was NOT uncommon. As a matter of fact, Abraham's forefathers worshiped pagan gods,

"And Joshua said to all the people, “Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, ‘Long ago, your fathers lived beyond the Euphrates, Terah, the father of Abraham and of Nahor; and they served other gods." Joshua 24:2

This makes sense of the omission of any hesitation or confusion on Abraham's part. While he loved Isaac, gods and child sacrifice were common, perhaps YHWH requires child sacrifice too?

As you know, God stops Abraham from from sacrificing Isaac at the last second. YHWH was setting Himself apart from the gods of the nations. He will not require the blood of YOUR sons, He will provide the sacrifice with HIS Divine Son.

God commanded the Israelites, Abraham's descendants,

"When you come into the land that the LORD your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominable practices of those nations. There shall not be found among you anyone who burns his son or his daughter as an offering," Deuteronomy 18:9-10

The message of the story is clear: YHWH does NOT require child sacrifice like the gods of the surrounding nations, HE HATES IT!

Despite that and His clear command, Israel STILL succumbed to pagan child sacrifice worship later in their history.

God came in the person of Jesus, the Son, to be our sacrifice once for all.

Abraham told Isaac, God will provide the sacrifice. He proved a Ram that day. But many years later He hung on a cross, providing the ultimate sacrificial provision!

I’m going to be in Minneapolis Monday-Thursday this week on fiat work. Any Bitcoiners around who want to meet up one of the evenings?

They now put disclaimers up before Seinfeld airs on TV that it's culturally offensive.

I was thinking about the question, "What is money?" and how nostr:npub15vzuezfxscdamew8rwakl5u5hdxw5mh47huxgq4jf879e6cvugsqjck4um could have a whole podcast exploring that 1 question.

Then I had another question, "Why is money?" What is the fundamental PURPOSE of money?

The Westminster Cathecism says, "The chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever."

Money exists as a tool by which we can glorify God and enjoy Him forever.

This happens when God's imagers collaborate together by working, innovating, inventing, serving and building a world that enhances life and honors their Creator who revealed Himself in Christ. Money is the tool that facilitates this peaceful collaboration.

We need a money that optimizes this collaboration and purpose. We need a money that glorifies God in its rules and policies by adhering to His divine design revealed in the Bible.

#Bitcoin    is that money.

What’s the best Bitcoin node hardware today. Not raspberry pi based. I need an upgrade.

Another batch of #bitcoin stickers going in the mail tomorrow!

I'm excited to see your submissions for this month's contest. One of you will be getting that juicy 1M sat zap for first place!
