Formerly @PortsmouthBTC on The Dead Bird. Used to do some stuff. Finally started doing stuff again. Possibly the only Bitcoiner to have *actually* lost everything in a boating accident. 🟠2013 🟣2023 #photography & #boatlife & #growstr #fishing amd #vibecoding fan and reforming church goer.

I'd need to pick most of them up, or crouch down, which is terrible for my back

Bloody hell, yeah I saw that thread a couple of hours ago but it took ages to make sense - I couldn't see the pedos posts at all, so guessing I've already blocked it - had managed to forget about that too

I feel like I've missed something drastic? What's going on in your world?!

Not really, bit surprised when I see the fees in one block yesterday in excess of 2btc - it's going to push people to adapt their behaviour quicker I guess, like choosing your moment to open LN channels, consolidate UTXOs etc

Same issue I had when I tried it - I used to use the LN Roulette one a lot - really excited to see how well this sports book grows

This is a cool effect, I thought it was the panorama trick, which is also great fun. I read recently that Samsung phones now lay a shot of the moon over your inevitably crap glowing shaky shot you tried yourself, fooling people in to thinking lunar photography is easy

with the abrupt merging of a 12 hour old pull request by nostr:nprofile1qqsrhuxx8l9ex335q7he0f09aej04zpazpl0ne2cgukyawd24mayt8gprfmhxue69uhhq7tjv9kkjepwve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5hszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t09un2p9k6 that removes all of the authors from the plaintext of the NIP documents, and without having given the time for all of the relevant contributors to give theri consent, or lack thereof for this change, THE NOSTR has now become a closed private larp, and there will be a fork and breakaway project.

i'm not starting said project, but i predict that this will happen within 3 months.

i'm also now of the opinion that every single one of those who consented this are not trustworthy individuals, and being that most of them are app developres and major relay operators, i'm abandoning this platform.

the appearance of the reject by pubkey notices yesterday and the removal of the names of NIP contributors was no coincidence.

there is a coordinated action going on behind the scenes and the real people in control do not want it know that there is a management team behind this project.

this makes it extremely suspicious and i'm done contributing to it.

my pubkey is now being purged from my storage.

THE NOSTR is just X-lite.

What's the deal here, what's the implications and the reasoning?

I take it for granted that it's there tbh and rarely realise how fortunate I am to have so many amenities near by

So I did a workaround via Alby and got a lightning address using my domain but now I've finally downloaded a node again and am looking to run lightning shortly I'm curious how much agro it'll be to map my address straight through my node stack

Definitely - I don't know what the future looks like, but there's a nice independent cinema that's started near me a couple of years ago, they show some really niche stuff and do the outdoor cinemas during summer

I’m thrilled to announce that the first long-form book of fiction on Bitcoin - 24 - is now available for purchase.

https://www.amazon.com/24-Avi-Burra/dp/B0CN9NS87B/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1700089125&sr=8-1

Here’s the blurb:

“Surreal, suspenseful, and thought-provoking, 24 is a book about Oliver Battolo's journey, as he comes to terms with the unexpected death of his father, and in the process discovers that he had been harboring a bizarre secret.

Set in the year 2022, Oliver learns how to slay demons past and present, as he unravels the mystery that leads him to secrets hidden in paintings, returning characters from childhood fantasies, alchemy, and somehow, bitcoin.”

There is a hidden bounty in the book, that can be unlocked by finding clues spread all through. I will be periodically adding to the bounty with a percentage of the book sales profits until it is claimed. Right now, it stands at 10M sats and can be tracked here:

I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it over the last year!

I'm just about to go to the cinema to watch The Marvel's, probably the 8 or 9th time I've been to watch something this year - I enjoy the big screen experience...cinema is t what it was in its early days but it still has something to deliver imo
