'Nunchuk and Coinkite Announce Strategic Partnership'

https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/nunchuk-and-coinkite/

"Let this concept soak in. Then look around you. Study the very top echelon of successful persons. Note how they, without exception, are totally devoted to their objective. Observe how the life of a highly successful person is integrated around a purpose.

Surrender to that goal. Really surrender. Let it obsess you and give you the automatic instrumentation you need to reach that goal."

—David J. Schwartz, from 'The Magic of Thinking Big'

word on the street

i went outside and touched some grass and now i feel much better

this is a true, unsarcastic note

fyi fellow nostronauts:

you're gonna need a lightning address in your nostr profile settings in order to be zapped (and to make zapping smoother on your end)

probably the easiest way to get one is just download the Fountain Podcasts app and set up a profile. Part of the whole setup is an integrated lightning wallet so you can stream sats to pods or send boostagrams.

you also get a free lightning address (e.g. mark@fountain dot fm). It's like an email address for your wallet.

i see a lot of profiles on here that just pasted a long lightning receive address in their bio, so when i try to zap it doesn't work.

anyway, i don't work for fountain or anything just wanted to let you know. The Zebedee app also gives you a lightning address for free. But I know there a lot of podcast fans on here... https://www.fountain.fm/

seems this bears repeating somehow but:

value is subjective

honestly... respect 🤙😅

i understand that custodial lightning wallets aren't ideal or true expressions of the sovereign cypherpunk ethos but i just want to zap some of you cool people

let me zap you

[This_is_the_way.gif]

Damus is getting all the attention but Amethyst is the dark horse for me. i'm surprised i like an Android app thia much!

me trying to decide if i like Damus or Amethyst better

totally. it's not just the enthusiasm and the progress, it's the pace ⚡⚡⚡

i tell you what though, i care about that honey badger 🥹

no one said the revolution would have a smooth presentation layer right out of the gate

if you buy a home & just maintain it as it degrades over time you are forced to pay annual tax

if you improve it you are forced to revalue it & pay more annual tax

if you don't pay your annual tax then the government takes your home away

in what sense do you 'own' your home?

the people/content migrating onto nostr just keeps getting better. hoping it keeps up.

now i have hilariously small denominations of sats coming in but they're all anonymous, thank you nostrich penny givers 💜

⚡ give a zap, get a zap ⚡

vc radio silence on nostr is the signal

don't be quick to dismiss books about topics you already read about. you may need to see it again, or from a fresh vantage point

as a non-developer, one paradox i've observed within the developer/builder/coder community is more social awkwardness + maybe lower EQ combined with receiving blunt criticism without taking offense or getting defensive

people always talk about lack of social skills being a bad thing, but maybe it protects you from feeling like you have to jump through unnecessary emotional hoops when trying to get somewhere

strangely inspiring tbh

pv fam 🤙💜

bullish on nostr

bullish on bitcoin

bullish on the future

i use a few nostr clients at this point and i'll say it again:

i'm still a little surprised how well this whole thing is actually working

nostronauts are clearly built different
