The nostr:npub1qtvl2em0llpnnllffhat8zltugwwz97x79gfmxfz4qk52n6zpk3qq87dze podcast with nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z was so informative. I really enjoyed learning about the importance of the decentralization of mining pools. Preston, seems like the analogy of open source code vs closed source code is applicable here. nostr:note1qtvvv8ph3v4p9gsmcltll39defjd4fjqfefn3t6txg82fhcmj9jsv9asmr
Just saw this on youtube for real literally minutes after seeing this post. They’ve got to be spying on me lol
Thanks to nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z I was introduced to Sebastian Bunney this morning. I made my way to his website where I started reading some of his articles.
https://sebbunney.com/there-is-genius-in-all-of-us/
Here he mentions the benefit of boredom:
“Boredom has one huge benefit as Varol points out, “It allows your mind to freely associate and draw connections between drastically different objects.”
Here’s what I’m now asking myself in view of this idea… what things limit boredom in my life, (phone, social media, YouTube, etc) and what positives would I see by purposefully adding more opportunities for boredom?
Listening to Bob Burnet on the latest “what bitcoin did” podcast, he talks about how the scarcity of block space makes it mathematically impossible for all people on earth to self custody. It would take 40 years of transactions to disseminate btc on the base layer to everyone on earth. This brings up the question of self sovereignty vs community self sovereignty. For example, is a person really self sovereign if they have btc only on Lightning because base layer block space is finite.
Alright fellow psychopaths. I need your help.
For a few weeks now I've been drafting this turn-key response to FinCEN and their absurd proposal for CVC mixing, etc.
I want you to take action and use what I wrote in this proposal to post comments into the register - less than a minute to perform and all the links are in the document.
Accelerate. Take Action. #Bitcoin

Amazing Preston thank you!
“Listen carefully and you’ll hear that word enough everywhere, especially when it comes to the anxiety, loneliness, exhaustion, and division that plague our moment to such tragic proportions. You’ll hear about people scrambling to be successful enough, happy enough, thin enough, wealthy enough, influential enough, desired enough, charitable enough, woke enough, good enough. We believe instinctively that, were we to reach some benchmark in our minds, then value, vindication, and love would be ours—that if we got enough, we would be enough.”
-David Zahl
Thank you Satoshi!
we keep shipping at Strike

today we released sending to Lightning Addresses. you can send fiat or bitcoin to a Lightning Address with Strike. here is a demo where I send nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx $10 from my bank account to his Lightning Address. we aren’t far away from cross-currency payments over the internet looking like sending an email over the internet
Strike Africa, Strike EU, Strike LatAm coming up next. looking to ship Africa before Christmas
stay humble, stack shipping 🚢🛳️⛴️ https://v.nostr.build/8KPa.mp4
A few days ago I had lunch with nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc and he told me about this awesome idea:
> A relay that rejects long notes.
This morning I woke up thinking about it.
And now it's live.
wss://140.f7z.io
140-character limit. With a pretty strict moderation, so spam should be basically non-existent.
It's also sucking short notes from other relays, so it's global should be pretty useful.
Check it out!
PS: No coincides; I saw this nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 note just now 😂
@note10nvzcqzst4c5yee279u2j5qpzzkffhwxn5qf5t7jxqfx53h6agdqte34ay
Love nostr love btc, but being honest I no nothing about relays. Can anyone point me to a helpful resource to educate myself? Thanks!
We're excited to share what we've been working on - the TrueVote app in action!
TrueVote is not just an app; it's a commitment to transparency. Built on Bitcoin, Opentimestamps, and Nostr, our open-source platform ensures tamper-proof ballot data. No smoke and mirrors, just verifiable election integrity of every ballot, every vote.
TrueVote solves two fundamental problems in elections:
1. Ballot verification: With TrueVote, you can verify your vote was counted, eliminating the uncertainty that plagues traditional voting methods.
2. Convenience: TrueVote brings voting to your fingertips, eliminating the inconvenience of polling places and mail-in ballots. Voting should be as convenient as the rest of our digital lives.
We believe in openness, which is why our tech stack is entirely open-source. Transparency isn't just a feature; it's a virtue. We're empowering voters with unprecedented visibility into the voting process.
Ballot data is validated using Opentimestamps hashing on Bitcoin. No "token" needed. No "new crypto coin" needed. Bitcoin and Bitcoin only.
And now, TrueVote uses Nostr, an innovative decentralized and open-source communications protocol, for secure authentication.
Technology (bitcoin) has made it possible to separate money and state, and it is time to decouple the state from the election process to ensure election integrity.
It's time we vote on our phones!
