Probably the best all round bitcoin book there is.

Happy Genesis Block Day plebs. 🤟

My 2024 review and high-level report. Let's start with some stats for the nostr.build:

- 720 Million media requests served

- 650 TiB of bandwidth consumed

- 8 Million unique visitors

- 85% average cache hit rate

- Improved median CPU time per request from 200 down to 2 milliseconds per request

- 20 requests per second are served on average

- 99.994% uptime for the hosted media

- 98% uptime for the website and uploading servers

- 2.5K daily free uploads on average

Some improvements for the free uploads:

- Increased free upload size from 10MiB to 50MiB

- Increased image resolution from 1980px to 3840px

- Increased per server RAM from 1GiB to 4GiB

- Added full mirror of all uploaded media to the additional vendor (backup)

- Implemented moderation headers (can be used to hide NSFW content if desired)

Now some of the stats of my dev work for the nostr.build:

- 1,333 git commits

- 42 repositories with my contributions

- 10k+ lines of code written, or changed

Some features and completed projects:

- Rewritten nostr.build account page (AI, stats, nostr share, drag-n-drop, variaty of sizes, poster for video, etc.)

- Added AI Studio, onboarded multiple models from SD and Flux.

- Added media statistics

- Rewritten media serving front-end (dropping CPU utilization by 100x) and improving TTFB as well as cache hit rate (from 50%+ to 85%+ on average)

- Implemented variaty of the spam, and other illegal media upload prevention mechanisms (automated AI media scanner, PhotoDNA scanner, etc.)

- Implemented AI Moderation API that is shareable with other nostr media hosts (e.g., nostrcheck.me)

- Implemented upload of pdf, zip, etc., with full virus scanning.

- Various improvements to the PHP code, bug fixes and optimizations.

- Implemented e.nostr.build to allow easy embedding and sharing of the video/audio files for the account holders

- Referal links and account credits

- Onboarded more nostr clients for uploads (e.g., YakiHonne)

Some of the prototyping I've done for nostr.build:

- Semantic search of the media (ML based), multilingual

- Basic search for media using AI Vision

- Video transcoding using serverless and server-based setups

- Video transcoding to DASH/HLS (CMAF)

- Multi-party audio/video chat

Some of the in-flight projects that I'll have to complete in 2025:

- Seamless implementation of the Blossom protocol (70% done)

- Rewrite of the post-upload scanning to utilize workflows (50% done)

- New video upload and transcoding experience, HLS, DASH, VBR video/audio (10% done)

- New NoSQL based data-plane backend with the new API (50% done)

- Full rewrite of the Accounts page (5% done, blocked by new API and data-plane)

- Additional models for the AI Studio (90% done)

- (25% done)

I am sure I am forgetting a bunch, and this is only done from my memory.

Looking forward to Blossom support. Great product!

I really enjoy the nostr:nprofile1qqswkhs47p9unc7lsmqsqv9kvh07sf2pq9gurcan4r8r7s524ap0jfclt62u8 ones as they have a focus on actually using Bitcoin - merchant and user adoption, circular economies etc.

See you in Cape Town in a few weeks?

Just lost 7k sats in a session of Blackjack with my youngest (10).

She gonna make it. 🥹

Just checking this out. Very nice! nostr:note1pwrpyyynfpwkwc2fe2kqzes0258w5lr0gzsgjwczmkwz5mj4d0assn8vga

Not sure yet.

I think running it around 850 watts once room is heated feels about right. Will report back!

A moment in history...

Fine, BTC to the CFTC and shitcoins can go to the SEC to die.

This plus the US Strategic Reserve and it's game over.

Trump's conflation of the two could set us back a cycle. Hopefully he has enough council around him.

1) Always travel with a banana.

2) Don't day trade your pension.

3) Smile. You'll be dead soon.

I used to think bitcoin was an intelligence test, but now I know it's a humility test.

There was an El Salvadorian team that built this (and won) during the Hackathon at Adopting Bitcoin last year.

Targetted at normies frequenting orange-pilled merchants (i.e. those not simply accepting bitcoin).

Bitcoiners visiting bitcoin-accepting merchants and paying in fiat are larpers.

We're all Peter Todd.

Except Craig Wrong.

Are there any S19 space heater prints?
