I first ran into #Bitcoin back in 2016.

Didn’t know it the way I know it today.

Had I known, I wouldn’t have played around with it, I wouldn’t have spent it on things I could have bought with fiat.

Now compared to many who got to know Bitcoin in later years, I have much less.

I used to be filled with regret. But now I’m grate for all the exposure I got back then, all the things I learnt, and all the experience I accumulated.

I paid a great price for it, but I’m grateful I got a great reward for it to - understanding Bitcoin!

What are the sneakiest things that can be done to Bitcoin via softforks? Or another way to phrase it, which types of softforks are so powerful that they are almost like hardforks?

I figure that the question could spark some interesting replies.

An example is SegWit, which effectively increased the block size without technically increasing it. Another example would be some sort of increasing transaction tax on older UTXOs, where in order to move them one must pay an extra fee determined by how many blocks they have been dormant for.

What else?

I think the second soft work was already in place for some time until the good core peeps out invented pay to script hash.

I can be full of shit though. I’m talking way beyond my pay grade xD

We need a #psychedelic community here on #Nostr!

Let's use this censorship-resistant technology to our advantage!

I can connect to my own Nostr relay using Tailscale, but am still curious how I can make my relay a public one and share it with others 🤔

Finally managed to connect to and save my data on my personal Nostr relay!

How do you unfollow someone on Damus?

I’ve tried unfollowing some accounts on Damus, but it seems not to go through.

Should I use a different platform for that maybe?

قول داده بودم اون مفهوم «آینه» که نظامی گفته بود رو با بیان مولانا هم براتون بنویسم. یه غزل شیرینِ تلخ از مولانا رو بخونیم، احتمالا خطاب به شمس. کمی شبیه اون یکی که قبلا نوشته بودم. چند بیت ابتدایی این غزل رو ببینید چقدرررر شیرینه:

اَیا مربیِ جان! از صُداعِ جان چونی؟

ایا ببرده دل از جمله دلبران! چونی؟

ز زحمت شب ما و ز ناله‌های صبوح

که می‌رسد به تو ای ماه مهربان، چونی؟

ایا غریب فلک! تو بر این زمین حیفی 🥲

ایا جهان ملاحت! در این جهان چونی؟

«صداع» یعنی دردسر، مسئولیت اضافی. شاید جالب باشه بدونید که «جان» پرتکرارترین کلمه در کتاب مثنوی معنویه، و مشخصا از شیرین‌ترین مفاهیم در تفکر مولانا. و با این همه اینجا از مخاطبش می‌پرسه هی فلانی، زیر سنگینی بار این دردسر ناخواسته چی می‌کشی؟

تو فاز بعدی این غزل، مولانا انگار به خودش میاد و با نکته‌ی غمگینی روبرو میشه. به خودش میگه آخه کسخل، روال بر اینه که اونی که حالش بهتره بیاد از اونی که حالش خرابه احوال‌پرسی کنه؛ اونی که سر پاس بیاد حال اونی که افتاده رو بپرسه؛ بعد تو با این وضع بگاییت داری از منبع تمام خوشی‌ها می‌پرسی «چطوری»؟!

ز آفتاب که پرسد که «چون همی‌گردی؟!»

به گلْسِتان که بگوید که «گلستان! چونی؟!»

ز روی زرد بپرسند درد دل چون است

ولی کسی بنپرسد که «ارغوان! چونی؟!»

اینو داشته باشید، برمی‌گردیم بهش.

بعد از اینا اون بیتی میاد که به پست قبل ربط پیدا می‌کنه. اینجا هنر دنده معکوس کشیدن مولانا هم جای بحث داره که بعدا یه پست جدا در موردش می‌نویسم، ولی وسط غزلی با این طراوت و دلنشینی، می‌فرماید که:

چو روی زشت به آیینه گفت: «چونی تو؟»

بگفت: «من چو چراغم؛ تو قلتبان چونی؟» 😐😎

قلتبان که قبلا گفتیم یعنی «زن‌جنده». صورت بیت رو مرور کنیم پس: یه آدم زشتی به آینه نگاه میکنه و میگه «چطوری؟» آینه جواب میده: «من که فقط واقعیت‌ها رو روشن می‌کنم، خودِ زن‌جنده‌ت چطوری؟!»

حرفی که مولانا اینجا تو دهن آینه میذاره فوق‌العاده‌س. آینه میگه من فقط دارم واقعیتی رو نشون میدم، پس من اساسا نمی‌تونم «چطور» باشم. آینه هیچ‌وقت «چطور» نیست. «چطور بودن» ویژگی شماس، نه ویژگی چیزی که شما رو نشون میده. پس اگه میای پیش من، فقط دیتای خام رو تحویل بگیر، بعد «چطور بودنش» رو برو از خودِ زن‌جنده‌ت بپرس. حالا چرا آینه‌هه انقدر اعصابش کیری بوده نمی‌دونم، ولی اگه بخوایم مقایسه بکنیم، هرچند اون بیت نظامی که قبلا خوندیم درکش برای یه مخاطب معمولی ساده‌تره، اما عمق فلسفی نگاه مولانا - طبق معمول - خیلی بیشتره.

البته توی دو بیت بعدی این غزل، اون آدم زشت‌رو (که انگار اینجا خود مولاناس)، جواب میده که می‌دونم؛ ولی من اون آدمی‌ام که حالش خرابه و دوست داره بهش برسن، دوس داره ازش بپرسن «چطوری» و وقتی می‌بینه کسی سراغی ازش نمی‌گیره، خودش راه میفته حال این و اونو می‌پرسه تا بلکه اونا هم جویای احوالش بشن. مثل مزرعه‌ای که تشنه‌س و منتظر احوال‌پرسی آسمون، اما خودش پیش‌قدم میشه تا بلکه آسمون هم حالی ازش بپرسه:

جواب گفت: «که من باژگونه می‌پرسم

مثالِ کشت که گوید به آسمان: چونی؟»

دهان گشادم، یعنی «ببین که لب خشکم!» 😓

که تا شرابِ تو گوید که: «ای دهان! چونی؟»

از عرفان و نگاه عرفانی و فلان بدتون میاد؟ اشکالی نداره. همینقدر از این غزل برداشت کنیم که بد نیست گاهی حواسمون به ابعاد پنهان پشت ظواهر باشه؛ مثلا به اینکه گاهی «حالت چطوره» یعنی «بیا حال منو بپرس، چون یه عالمه حرف تو گلومه، چون تنهام، چون حالم خرابه، چون اگر کسی حالمو نپرسه کار دست خودم میدم».

عالی بود 😂

در حدی که نگران اساتیدی چون کریم زمانی شدم 😂

Being a hodler might not seem as exciting as being a trader to a normie.

But as boring as it may seem, #Bitcoin is simply my savings account.

That's surprising indeed

I have an extremely fast connection but for some reason, it was only able to download 5% for the whole day today 🤷

Is your storage SSD or HDD? SSD increases the speed significantly!

#Bitcoin is Ctrl + S for your life savings.

I had three pairs of glasses. One of them broke, and one of them I left at a restaurant during a bitcoin-related business/academic meeting. The last one is half-broke, like it works decently enough but the left hinge is busted and opens too wide, and so it doesn't stay on my head as well as it should.

I usually prioritize my glasses poorly because I only wear them when driving or when I need to read things at a distance (e.g. walking around an airport or other unfamiliar environment). I purposely only wear them when I have to, and do my best to do eye exercises and such in other times, to avoid getting too dependent on them. As a result I tend not to take very good care of them.

I have a pair of prescription sunglasses too, so I've been wearing them, including in some contexts where it's not quite normal (e.g. inside). It ends up feeling like an awkward version of The Matrix.

Before I go to Egypt for the late summer, I scheduled an appointment for an eye exam and a new multi-set of glasses. Most places around me were booked for a full month (labor shortage). With one place that was open, I scheduled weeks in advance but then one eye doctor got into an accident and and their whole schedule changed. So there were *no* eyeglass places within a reasonable distance of me that could do an eye exam, prescribe and manufacture new glasses before I go to Egypt.

So I'm just kind of going there with a busted normal pair of glasses and then my sunglasses, which I'm increasingly getting used to using in abnormal places. I'll probably be walking around the airport in sunglasses. Maybe when I'm there I can get new ones, or just wait until I get back.

Back during COVID, when we all needed tests before travel, I always found it easier to get tests in Cairo than in New Jersey. The US tests were like, "okay we can get them to you in 48-72 hours" which was awkward because the government+airline was like, "we need tests within the past 72 hours". So there was this weird window where they get it to you just in time... or they don't. I had to get a second emergency test for like 10x the cost once, with high stress and extra activity right before the flight, because the first test was too slow and missed their 72-hour timeframe. But in Cairo I could always get one within 24-36 hours without issue.

Anyway, that's my current version of first world problems. Heading to Egypt with broken glasses, and the Egyptian system might ironically fix this faster than I can here in New Jersey. Everything feels weird due to labor shortages.

It’s not legally possible everywhere, but in some countries, it’s possible to order correction glasses online without a prescription.

Since you also believe in training your eyes to avoid getting dependent on glasses, it’s a good idea to get some lenses that are almost right for you. For example, if your eyes are -1 diopter, do a -0.75 or even -0.5.

Fuck crypto!

There’a only #Bitcoin. All else is shitcoin! nostr:note1v67k7pnmxk2hj52kd330lrdz9qzjysarl5znzkd65ln3hd0u49ts052xpk

I'm really convinced Hal is Satoshi, but am not much interested in investigating it in any way.

The main reason is that I don’t like to see the family of the man who gave the world hope be put on the spotlight or get pressured.

One of the motivations for Hal to hide behind the Satoshi mask was the legal trouble they got into because of PGP. With that experience, the fact that he and Phil Zimmerman went through so much trouble and that for something that didn’t even undermine the Goliath of the central banking, Hal knew better to put his real identity on the line.

Also, when Dorian was put on the spotlight for being Satoshi, the real Satoshi cared enough to break his silence and make a post announcing that he’s not Dorian. This coincides with when Hal was still alive.

However, greater turmoils have come to pass since then and we are yet to hear a word from Satoshi.

Therefore, for Satoshi not to intervene or voice any opinion at the time of something like the blocksize wars is quite unlikely.

I’ve read the Satoshi-Hal emails, but I’m not a computer scientist. Is there anything in that short PDF that Hal is indeed a different person from Satoshi? I don’t think so, but am open to being proven wrong and learn something new.

Unless I’m presented with some objective proof that Hal is a different person from Satoshi, I am not prepared to think otherwise. nostr:note1ngha55r5hc3qlwx5hcxcx0mxja82zgdvkvwcd2g9ky08lxmhzqqqns20f6

How about NOT carpe diem and think about the future a bit?
