I rebuilt my business website + blog + podcast to use Nostr notes! I finished loading the back catalogue last week, and this the first regularly scheduled post. There's a few more steps that could be automated for posting new articles, but even in its current state it feels more efficient than the old WordPress site. Next week's article might be a a technical overview of how it works; if not I'll post a standalone note here.

Fun fact, a version of this is what was recommended for my type 2 narcolepsy. Ideally more than 3 hours of sleep at night though.
New blog post! "What is Money Series - Part 4 - What Are Crypto & CBDCs?"

I want to (finally) get a Bitaxe (Gamma), but being in Canada my options are:
1 - Buy from a Canadian retailer and pay about $290CAD, and most likely wait months (some posters reporting 4+ months).
2 - Buy from an American retailer and pay about $335CAD + ??? duty/import fees, but have it in a few weeks.
I donāt like either option. Has anyone done a group buy directly from whoever is physically manufacturing these things? What are order minimums like?
1000sats to the best caption!

My favourite part of this is āā¦who wants to give me fundingā¦ā. Maybe Iām entering my boomer era, but why do people want someone else to pay to build their ideas instead of paying for it themselves? If itās such a great idea why arenāt you funding it yourself?
That being said, āI have a great idea but no moneyā is exactly where Iām at most of the time š«

PIPPIN: Photos In Pretty Posts In Nostr
A Kind-20 Nostr client.
I did it, I made my own Kind-20 web client. I am not a dev by any measure, and Iāve recently learned that what Iāve done could be considered āvibe codingā. In my defence, what started as AI written code is now mostly my own. Iām sure itās still terrible in every way. If youāre a dev reading my code and agreeing with my assessment, donāt bother trying to help with this project. Instead, create your own Nostr client. Do it. We need more clients. Clients for every niche imaginable.
This one was inspired by me showing my wife our dogās Nostr posts on nostr:npub10lasj0tuxuweddwhmucwnm6l458flnu6mqwk38meaxs5matjg4ssac0ywa and her wanting to be able to check the feed herself without setting up yet another social media profile. I thought āwhy not a web client with a default feed?ā Thatās the core of what this is; a page you can send to your wife, mom, grandmother, etc, where they only see the npub(s) you choose. No logins, no settings, no global feeds.
It *does* have a login via NIP-07 and settings in the .env file, but none of that is exposed to the user on the page. (Iām considering hiding the new post form somewhere too.) Set a relay, Blossom server, default npub, zap amount, and Open Graph images (for when you want to share to legacy social media and purple-pill the normies in your circles).
Multiple relays and npubs coming SOONā¢ļø. Reaction, repost, comment, and zap counters are currently broken, but hopefully fixed SOONā¢ļø. Also, git feels like a foreign language to me and I still havenāt figured out how to properly use Vite, so hopefully Iāve uploaded everything you need. Expect much to be broken and not industry standard. Iām a burnt-out sysadmin with almost no coding background. Again, at minimum you should fork this if you want to use it, and probably just build your own from scratch. Or use Olas; itās pretty great.
Once upon a time I was sure paper wallets were going to be a core part of the Bitcoin ecosystem. I bought fancy tear-resistant waterproof paper and tamper-evident stickers. Even used them a few times for demos. Iāve kept them as a reminder and a bit of a personal museum piece.

New blog post! "Fear & Respect in the Workplace"
A reminder that FB is fully captured and censored by da gubbermint. Couldn't post the following:
Second one is giving āBiblically accurate Nostrā vibes; may or may not track well with certain audiences š
Interested as well for research for part 2 of a series for my blog. Its targeted at normies but Iād like to make sure I understand the technical side:

Sir is truly living his by his words; he is using Nostr without being zap-able š
I was pondering making a short video on Nostr for Instagram-ers, but I think I might wait for Olas to hit the iOS app store first.
