Does anyone know if there's a simpler way to create a memorable address on nostree? Ideally,

I'm looking for a way to:

- Avoid the slug in the address.

- Use a cleaner /username format.

- Add a custom URL for personalization.

It'd be great to have tips or workarounds for achieving this! Nostr thrives on decentralization and creativity—so I'm sure someone out there has a clever solution. Let's brainstorm!

Please share your suggestions below or links to resources if you've found any. The easier it is for people to find us, the stronger our connections can be!

A note about the multi-signer bunker. This is really cool stuff made by nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6, that uses FROST to split your nsec in 3 (or more) and distribute each shard to an independent trusted remote signer. This will give you a bunker code that you can use to log in to many web, mobile and desktop apps without exposing your nsec. If you ever lose your bunker code, if the signers vanish from Earth, and it stops working, or if it gets stolen by a malware virus, you can use your nsec to create a new one and invalidate the old one.

When using your ncyyptsec, does that make your account end-to-end encrypted? If it does, now would we do this for previously created accounts like my own

Did you know Jupiter Exchange played a key role in Luca Netz becoming a Solana advocate?

Luca Netz recently revealed that his journey with Solana started when he explored Jupiter Exchange. The platform impressed him so much that it entirely shifted his perspective on $SOL. This newfound conviction led him to invest heavily in Solana, making it his largest crypto holding.

This story underscores the power of innovative platforms like Jupiter to shape the perceptions and investments of influential crypto figures.

Have you had a similar moment where a platform changed your view on a blockchain or cryptocurrency? Share your thoughts!

In a recent interview, Michael Saylor, co-founder and chairman of MicroStrategy, projected that Bitcoin could reach $13 million per coin by 2045.

As of December 8, 2024, MicroStrategy holds approximately 423,650 BTC, valued at over $42 billion.

WIKIPEDIA

If Saylor's prediction materializes, MicroStrategy's valuation could soar to over $10 trillion, reflecting the company's steadfast belief in Bitcoin's transformative potential.

Saylor's forecast assumes an anticipated annualized return of 29% for Bitcoin over the next 21 years, driven by increased adoption and decreasing volatility.

This perspective positions Bitcoin as a digital asset and a cornerstone of future financial systems.

MicroStrategy's aggressive accumulation of Bitcoin, which has made it the largest corporate holder of the cryptocurrency, exemplifies a strategic shift toward digital assets as a means of capital preservation and growth.

While such projections are speculative and hinge on numerous market factors, they underscore a growing institutional confidence in Bitcoin's long-term value proposition.

"We'll hand them a little Bitcoin and wipe out our $35 trillion." Bold and bullish words on Bitcoin's potential to impact national debt. 🇺🇸

Bitcoin isn't just another cryptocurrency; it represents a shift in how we perceive and manage value. In an era of rising debt and financial uncertainty, could this decentralized digital asset offer the U.S. a way out? Advocates argue Bitcoin is a new form of currency that benefits the economy by fostering innovation, reducing reliance on traditional systems, and promoting financial independence.

On the other hand, scepticism questions its scalability and adoption on a national level. However, as the world increasingly looks toward decentralized finance, the U.S. could position itself at the forefront by embracing Bitcoin's potential.

Do you think Bitcoin could be the key to solving a $35 trillion problem, or is it too speculative to be the answer? Let's discuss it!

This is big news for the crypto world! Riot Blockchain will set a new benchmark by building the world's largest Bitcoin mining facility in Corsicana, Texas.

Once fully operational, this state-of-the-art site will be powered by an astounding 1 gigawatt of total mining capacity. To put this into perspective, that's equivalent to the energy needed to power a small city.

The facility is expected to improve the efficiency and innovation of Bitcoin mining. However, it also raises questions about energy consumption and sustainability in crypto.

Are projects like this the future of blockchain innovation, or do they pose too great a challenge for energy resources? Let us know your thoughts.

Sixty billionaires already hold #Bitcoin. But here's the kicker: the other 2,700 billionaires worldwide are waiting to jump in. If each allocates a modest $500M, we're talking about $1.35 TRILLION flooding the market.

Now, consider this: only 2.2M BTC remain on exchanges. With such a limited supply, Bitcoin's price could soar to $900K+ almost instantly. The combination of scarcity and demand will create a tidal wave of FOMO.

The big question is: Will you position yourself before the herd arrives? Please don't wait until it's too late.
