Where’d you pull that figure from?

Are the credit card charges really as big of an issue as people claim?

I ask because when I freelanced, it was just the cost of doing business. I wrote it all off as expense and in some cases just baked it into the prices. I never really lost as a service provider. Couldn’t everyone just bake the fees into the cost of the thing they are selling?

It’s me back to say more controversial things on the nostr.

Men should provide for women.

There might be a time when you as an npub want to go into a self destruct mode. Try to avoid that as much as possible.

Nostr, more and more is moving towards a WoT model. Which makes it harder for nyms to enter, you can spend a lot of time entering WoT circles and just a few bad notes will see you dropped by everyone.

The capacity would be whatever the Blossom hosts are capable of withstanding. The max upload size is 100mb, but the app can handle a 2gb file and compresses it, client-side, down to 100mb so most Blossom hosts accept the upload. This is free hosting for end-users.

Besides flat screen TVs, what else has deflated over the last decade?

Is it just me or is it getting increasingly more difficult to find cotton shirts?

Please, how could I have a free wallet to use connection like nostr+walletconnect://?

Looks like old Alby free wallet is no longer available 😕

If you look into your post history, you will see that I posted a similar note like a couple of months ago hahaha

Sowell would likely say that even Bitcoin involves trade offs, that giving up monetary flexibility means giving up tools to respond to crises. Fair enough. But perhaps the real trade off is between short term political convenience and long term civilizational trust. If so, Bitcoin isn’t utopian thinking. It’s the most Sowellian position of all.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Out of all the questions bitcoin raises this one is still my favourite lowball one that I’ve asked it in person to many bitcoiners. Mostly because I think some of what you answer reflects on how you see the future.

How much bitcoin should an individual hold?

The 2 most common answers:

- As much as possible.

- One per head.

Do you have a different answer? #asknostr

#asknostr

Good afternoon nostr! For a long time, I've been thinking of putting everything I have on bitcoin and sitting on it for a really long time (at least 15 years). I want to hear your opinions and suggestions on how to buy bitcoin securely and keep it safely through the years (what hardware wallet to chose and which apps to use to track my earnings, etc.) . Feel free to give your further suggestions! New on the platform, but happy to have discovered nostr.💫

Do you have mire information on that?

I never had a bike when I lived in CA, but it makes a lot of sense.

I wonder if economic reality is going to push a lot more people onto two wheels over the coming years.

Shit you're right

I'm convinced that if we legalized lane splitting and filtering at red lights in cities in the US it would dramatically reduce traffic as more people would buy scooters and motorcycles.

Every Asian country that does this has way less traffic.

It's a grey area. In my opinion, air gapped simply means using the device without it ever being physically connected to an internet-connected device.

Because, if we define it literally, we will be disagreeing on whether the photons from the QR code act as a wave or as particles. Or whether string theory suggests that the devices are physically attached at any time and space.

#asknostr #coldcardQ

I have a coldcard Q that i have not used yet. Is using the qr code reader considered airgapped, just like using an sd card to transfer info into/out of the Coldcard? I have only used the MK4, so only sd card for airgapping. I'm not techy enough to know how secure the qr code method is, compared to sd card.

Worst take of 2025?

Multi sig is a psyop

I’m going to start a fight for boxing day.

LLMs like it too

Seems similar to PlantUML.

too many. too many parties. I must recharge.

Shiiit you're right my bad. Thanks for the help Corey!!

Lol dude reread my message.

I am looking for the smallest channel size the node will accept if I make a request for a new channel. I've noticed some nodes have small channels (say 20k sats) established a long time ago but if I try to open a 50k channel I get an error that the size is below their minimum channel size.

Existing channel sizes are a good indicator for this, but not perfect.

Thanks! This is different than minimum size it's currently accepting for new channels but it's a move in the right direction. If there's some way to quickly query this information from nodes via python I'd love to find a way to do that.

Question for BTC lightning devs: I want to write a #python script to identify good lightning nodes to connect to. In particular, nodes which have a smaller maximum channel size. I know lightning node explorers exist, but they are centralized third parties and don't list minimum channel size.

Without running a full stack of core + lnd/cln, is there a simple way from python to talk to lightning nodes and send/receive messages to them? What would you suggest? #asknostr #bitcoin #lightningnetwork

are you worried your baby is stuck at 8 months old and has stopped growing? in what world does this not pass with time? or are you saying you are worried she has an underlying health issue causing her distress?

I'm searching for an app for Linux like the gallery app from Android phones. I tried many and so far I couldn't find anything like it.

I'd like something that shows all my pictures, including the sub folders with a timeline and eventually a map that shows where the picture was taken.

Do you have any idea ?

#asknostr #linux

My 8 month old daughter is the cutest baby ever.

BUT.. she’s picked up this habit of screaming about everything. Happy, sad, needs something, or just boredom and she’s screaming. We literally can’t eat a meal without being screamed at.

Anyone ever deal with this? Trying to find ideas to stop it. Talking obviously doesn’t work. We try reducing stimulus, which sometimes helps but other times playing some music helps.

It’s driving me crazy! 😅

Excluding family, friends and historical figures, with whom would you most like to share a private dinner?

#asknostr

So hard to tell if BTC is already compromised. All the people I do not trust are suddenly promoting it and some of the ones I do trust are starting to go cold on it

I think you are right, I now want to know what 1 is used for. Instant vaporisation maybe, hence its less usage.

Building a signing tool is easy

Making it private, decentralised, and interoperable - much less so

We have rebuilt SIGit using state machines and will soon release a CLI (interoperable with the website) and a core library (enabling other apps to embed SIGit logic)

Watch this space

yeah documents should be authenticated with nsecs

Totally agree. Who’s building it?

Thank you for the answer! Do you think this will cause the price to send a transaction to increase? I figure that (like now) transactions sent with low fees will wait in que until the miners decide to process them.
