This graph is terrible and hard to understand but it sums up the reality of OP_RETURN debate accurately without adding feelings, FUD, or future predictions.

Just to clarify: I understand that the transmission itself will need to have callsign associated (legally) so the Hamstr server will know it, but will the resulting Nostr post include the callsign?

And is there a band that you’re currently focusing on? Or is the idea to use multiple? Seems to me that in its infancy it may be a good idea to concentrate on one.

Much thanks to nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx for helping spreading the ham radio word and #hamstr!

Currently #6 on the @fountain top podcasts. Sweet!

This was a great episode and very exciting concept, (despite being very contingent and niche). A couple questions:

1) not sure how it is in the USA but in Canada my callsign leads directly to doxxing me. Is there a “firewall” of sorts between the RF transmission and the resulting Nostr broadcast that ensures the callsign is not included on Nostr?

2) When more servers get going, what band of HF are you planning to use? I’m just setting up some antennas (so far, for listening only, but eventually transmitting too). Whichever band you’re using will inform the next antenna I’m going to set up.

Thanks!

I haven't worn makeup in a decade in any public context. There was a bitcoin documentary that put some on me but I don't know if they aired it. Or maybe a brief moment. I don't know and don't care.

My husband often says I should wear makeup for special occasions. Which means he'd like to see it and I should practice more. I ignored this for years and he keeps reminding me, but this year I'm going to do better at it, for him. We have our 7-year anniversary coming up. I'm going to try to surprise him with it.

My argument previously was I can't be good at everything. If I'm going to run our main business then maybe it's fine if I'm not great at makeup. It's not that I don't have time, although that's a factor, but mainly I don't have mental bandwidth. I wear the same clothes, I don't wear makeup, I get the same haircut, and focus on finance and tech every day. When I'm alone for a season, separated by him due to travel, rather than figure out makeup I post too much on social media and write a 130k word science fiction novel manuscript (which in retrospective, he ends up really liking) to fill our time apart. So I'm like, "maybe makeup isn't me."

His argument, as a proper method to not insult his own wife, is that it would "be a shame to not ever dabble in make up", given how I could look in it.

Objectively it's a reasonable argument; there are plenty of iconic people that look totally different without makeup. His argument is that I should at least wear it sometimes. I've been meaning to give him that view for years but I keep putting it off. Years now.

But sometimes it's a character rather than a concept that brings us to an idea. Much like novels. It's about characters more-so than plot or worlds that wake you up to something.

So I see Kristi Noem at 53 with great makeup, looking amazing, getting sworn in as Secretary of Homeland Security.

All the politicians are thinking about her new position, but realistically myself and many other women are like, "fuck, that's my new 53 year old benchmark." She looks so good. Partially because she's attractive but also her makeup and hair are just so solid. I assume she'll be weak at the job but she'll look damn good doing it.

And so I think, "Well fuck, I hope I look half as good at 53 as she does. Maybe I can ignore this shit in my 30s but I have to figure it out by my 40s and 50s."

Anyway, that's my random vulnerable mental shit for Nostr.

Seems like makeup could be a transaction that can’t be rolled back, once committed once or twice. If I were female, I wouldn’t risk it.

Not ever Bitcoiner can be a Podcaster, but those who don’t podcast can at least bring their friends’ podcast to nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5 nostr:note1mdeh2pzhl53atyc697kvp52tezzshcy43dz4a6ft6cuy7kyuq9hq3xru9t

Rebranding:

Stay weird, stack Bits.

Although it’s a bit ‘normie’, I think #2 is most aesthetically pleasing. #1 second place. And #3 would be better if the crates were half-cropped, making the vineyards more focused.

You can ‘block’ people by being on your own relay that no one else has access to.

Aside from that, I don’t think this is possible because the blocked would need to ‘opt-in’ to their own blockage. Or the Nostr client would need to block the user on your behalf, but would have no effect if the blocked went to a different client.

Sorry. You’re gonna need to just not worry about it and just concern yourself with the things you have control over.

nostr:npub137c5pd8gmhhe0njtsgwjgunc5xjr2vmzvglkgqs5sjeh972gqqxqjak37w I see that you’re behind the zap.army ability to toggle note-zaps in Damus. Thank you for that.

I had a look at the HTML which links to the damus:nostr:nscript1qpshxmgpqq… script. But how does someone read the source code for that nscript itself?

Just to confirm, is this how zaps are on iOS?

• iOS apps w/out integrated wallet: (ie. Damus, Nostur)

✅ CAN zap profiles

❌ CANNOT zap notes

• iOS apps with integrated wallet: (ie. Primal)

✅ CAN zap profiles

✅ CAN zap notes

… but only with Primal custodial wallet. ❌

• PWA on iOS: (ie. Snort)

✅ CAN zap profiles

✅ CAN zap notes

… using any ⚡️ wallet, Phoenix, Cashu, Aqua, etc.

I assume the native iOS has limitations imposed by Apple, like how Damus had to remove their note-zapping feature but I just want to make sure I’m not missing something.

I like that the position is for a Bitcoin Wizard, but nowadays that may confuse people with Taproot Wizards. Next thing you know the office is filled with Quantum Cats and they’re proposing inscriptions as means-of-exchange. High risk!
