Glad ya like it! if you want to see more cool #bitcoin #design work head over to: https://bitcoin.design/
nostr:npub1reezn2ctrrg736uqj7mva9lsuwv0kr5asj4vvkwxnrwlhvxf98tsq99ty4 is whipping up an awesome BDK Swift + iOS demo wallet. Check out the new syncing indicator!
Oh no! On the bright side kids bounce back fast!
How I got into #bitcoin...

I'm sure the team would appreciate help from #rust + #bitcoin devs out there, here's the github label to check: https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin/labels/1.0
More dancing
Thanks nostr:npub1emdtsxly9m68m00x206t574jttp65vk0c2m89ms038q047yz7ylqcac9aw for getting the pizza today at @BitcoinPark ! #btcpizzaday
For anyone who missed it, pour one out for bitcoin's favorite cantillion-aire. A tribute to the irrepressible Charlie Munger from the recent BRK annual meeting:
“Unbridled government spending” sounds too innocent, I’d call it “the grotesque amount of government spending”.
Great way to look at US gov finances, but I don't think it includes the unfunded liabilities like SSI and medicare, etc.
Unfunded liabilities aren't counted in "national debt" and are somewhere north of $123T.
Not sure what you're equate these liabilities with for a family budget. Maybe as negative retirement savings and unpaid medical bills?
Seems that people are getting sour about passkeys:
https://fy.blackhats.net.au/blog/2024-04-26-passkeys-a-shattered-dream/
which is a shame IMO. I agree with the criticisms but still prefer them to email+pw.
Very interesting. I'm sorry to hear the browser big tech vendors are shitting it up, but I'm still hopeful. The root problem seems to be the apple/google browsers and key managers.
I agree with the author that using a third-party key manager with Passkey support like Bitwarden is the way to go. It's not perfect but still much better than using passwords. I guess we'll see, for now I'll still support Passkey or any other passwordless auth whenever I can.
The hacker interview is on nostr. Thanks to whomever uploaded it. https://media.nostr.build/p/7GDv2.mp3
This amazing impromptu interview is a great example of why anyone building or using a centralized web based service needs to switch to a password less authentication system, ideally supporting hardware tokens like a Yubikey.
Your grandma can't be scammed out of her password if there is no password or SMS 2FA or anything like that to give the person on the phone scamming her.
I hope new systems like Passkey become ubiquitous. Sure if you use Google or Apple for your keystores it's not ideal, but still a big improvement. And there's no lock-in saying you HAVE to use a hosted keystore/password manager, it's an open standard with multiple open-source implementations.

Be careful when traveling fellow bitcoiners, you could could be waylaid by armed bandits (especially in Australia).
Welcome to #nostr nostr:npub10znwkv69vus58rrqydwfzy3tuljhqn5plec84y0v2pa5n85xfwnqaft2sl ! Thanks for the project/product management work you're doing for the nostr:npub13dk3dke4zm9vdkucm7f6vv7vhqgkevgg3gju9kr2wzumz7nrykdq0dgnvc team. 🚀
Shout out to nostr:npub1ke470rdgnxg4gjs9cw3tv0dp690wl68f5xak5smflpsksedadd7qtf8jfm for giving me a ride home this evening, given the bad weather. Offered without me asking.
It’s an honor to sit next to such a legend, each and every day at nostr:npub1theparkprcs70dcs437ke9zzwsr6u60f8flu7rg28m30438aep9sd94dha
#blessed
Anytime my friend 🤙
It feels like nostr is enabling a decentralized protocol renaissance. nostr:npub1v0lxxxxutpvrelsksy8cdhgfux9l6a42hsj2qzquu2zk7vc9qnkszrqj49 added this torrent NIP recently: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1175 what if we utilize bittorrent for discovering and sharing files via nostr? This is not a new idea but the network affects could have huge benefits on seeding:
Imagine someone reposts a torrent and says “please help me seed this”. Then clients could integrate bittorrent and start helping out right away. Then you could zap people who helped seed.
nostr can fix many decentralized protocol incentives problem just from its network effects and embrace of open protocols.
1000x love this idea. Also a great way to find out how censorship resistant #nostr is. The MPAA will be happy to help torture test it for us. 🙈
Another cool app built with nostr:npub13dk3dke4zm9vdkucm7f6vv7vhqgkevgg3gju9kr2wzumz7nrykdq0dgnvc 🙌

Who wants to guess the halving block nonce ?
I'm not aware of anyone running a nostr ready testnet faucet, but it looks like the mutinynet-faucet code can handle it with only a config file change: https://github.com/MutinyWallet/mutinynet-faucet-rs
I know this was a posted a while ago but its still a sticky on my dashboard. Someone wanna pair program this project and actually drive it to completion, DM me. Serious inquiries only.
More people should commit to finishing things and not leaving halfway.

nostr:npub1u8lnhlw5usp3t9vmpz60ejpyt649z33hu82wc2hpv6m5xdqmuxhs46turz already did it with nostr:npub1qf8e8cvfp60ywrah984zgsn8veggcrsv2cvttdr47tgz05ypf5yszwx308 ! Just dm it a signet address 🤗
Have you tried https://radicle.xyz? Did it work for you? Do you know how it works underneath? Should we stop the NIP-34 efforts and just adopt Radicle for decentralized code publishing and collaboration?
Does it bother you that the organization developing this project is funded by a pre-mined shitcoin? Even if their tech and team were awesome I couldn't support their funding model. Unless you want to fork the project and clearly disassociate from Radworks I think you run the risk participating in an affinity scam.
Is Lightspark developing their own Lightning node from scratch or using an existing one? if an existing one any idea which one?
#eclair is probably the most advanced on running a big HA node, see https://github.com/ACINQ/eclair/blob/master/docs/Cluster.md
Looks like interesting tech but their premined “governance token” is a bad look https://www.coinbase.com/price/radicle
I thought you were joking, but no joke.
Onchain Sats received from nostr:npub1qf8e8cvfp60ywrah984zgsn8veggcrsv2cvttdr47tgz05ypf5yszwx308 faucet to BDK iOS example wallet triggered by sending receive address via nostr DM! Love it.
If you dm nostr:npub1qf8e8cvfp60ywrah984zgsn8veggcrsv2cvttdr47tgz05ypf5yszwx308 an invoice it'll pay it
That's awesome! I'm usually just testing/demoing with on-chain coins but still good good to know.
Random project idea I'll problem never get to but maybe someone else would like to do:
Testnet or signet faucet nostr bot that keep track of if/how much test coins your npub has requested, contributed and/or returned. Require some sort of npub PoW for new account requests or follows by other well behaved accounts. Could also require answering some random bitcoin history and/or dev protocol trivia questions. Could publicly shame users who receive coins but never return any. Extra credit if bot also supports LN.
If you're building different but related project a shared cache might help: https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/guide/build-cache.html#shared-cache
