Brisket for the win!

Why aren't altcoiners moving to Nostr?

They're used to bribing centralized entities to integrate their coin. Exchanges list them, websites cover them, wallets add them. Even Twitter has the NFT profile pics. But they can't do that on Nostr.

And further, the Lightning integration means they have to use Bitcoin! The sad fact is that for all their developers, altcoins don't have anything like lightning. And they know if they come here, they're going to need to convert some of their stash.

It'll be fun to watch the VCs try to downplay Nostr's significance as they try to protect their bags. But it won't work. An actual decentralized network is forming and their centralized crap won't work here.

Let them have centralized platforms. Decentralized money belongs on a decentralized platform.

How long has Nostr been around? It feels very early still.

Who's Ye. Lol 🤷‍♂️

You'd have to ask them. They could make it just as easy. These used PC's are cheap, plentiful, and far more capable than RPi's so the appliance OS vendors really should focus more on this target.

Some used laptop models can use two internal SSD's and 32GB RAM. This example sounds a little too broken to use as a comfortable laptop anymore but it probably would be fine as a home server. I'd pay max $120 for this one. I already have a pile of this and similar models. I can't get rid of them fast enough.

Used tiny PC or laptops, upgrade the firmware, upgrade the RAM and buy new disks. Those make far faster and more reliable nodes than RPi's.

I highly recommend this tiny PC for LN nodes or home servers. The CPU is an six core beast. It supports up to 64GB RAM and two massive SSD's in a tiny case. eBay Refurbished means it has a 1 year warranty.

SSD's are now at all time low prices. $130-150 for quality TLC 2TB models. I like the Crucial MX500 2.5" SATA plus Samsung 970 Evo Plus 2280 nvme. Both fit inside this tiny PC allowing for RAID-1 mirror redundancy.

These machines put RPi to shame.

Over at Smolbirdsite people are asking the bird overlord for permission to tweet ‚SHIT‘. PV & life is so good here! ☀️

It’s quite amazing that gold supply increases 2% every year and the FED inflation target is 2% every year. 🫠

You can tell just how many of the Web3 bros actually care about decentralised apps by the amount of them that aren’t on here 😂

It’s not humanly possible to be bullish enough on Bitcoin.

We're onto something so big here.

Why rely on YouTube, AdMob, Adsense etc advertising income when users will just zap you directly when your content is good?

We are seeing a tiny seedling sprouting.

#[0] made a great long post yesterday and the zap count reflects that. Now he'll probably dedicate more time to making long form Nostr posts for us to enjoy.

#[1] gets tons of zaps each new release of Amethyst. Now he has more incentives to maintain the project and release new features frequently.

And there are so few of us here...

What happens when there are millions? Hundreds of millions?

Inspired every day here to continue decentralizing my resources and be self sufficient.

ITS DONE. TWITTER ACCOUNT DELETED 🔥

NOSTR ONLY

If I don't ever check my account, can I get a notification?

Just deleted another 150,000 spam posts from NostrGram's database. The performance changes from earlier today are really shining right now. There's virtually zero wait on any query being sent to it. Roughly half the events coming in from the relays being indexed are blocked because of having known spam links in their content. Sheesh.

Green lentils, stew beef, beef stock, onion, mushrooms, tomato paste, olive oil

When I was a kid, zapping someone meant rubbing your feet on the carpet to build up a static charge and then touching them with your fingertip. And we liked it that way.
