Why is my nip05 broken? When I manually go to the /.well-known/nostr.json, it's correct 🤔

Thinking about scaling again.

Side chains with their Merkle tree roots entangled with on-chain settlements. The whole side chain doesn't need to be stored on any node, only that incoming side chain transactions come with proof of funds with a root-branch-leaf of that particular source. The node will then incorporate that transaction and relay to other nodes, continually pruning the tree as leaves go empty. It makes for a heavier transmitted transaction message, but a basically zero storage footprint. Downside is needing to re-sign transactions that don't go through if it doesn't get propagated quickly between root publishes. The actual transaction can get thrown away once the tree is updated, so the node only needs Bitcoin and the side chain's root. Haven't thought through cross-tree and L1-L2 transactions, yet.

Philosophy, theology, and religion. It's all about placing the highest good as ones aim in life, and consistently pursuing via all areas in life.

He who is Truth, Goodness, and Beauty created all, and in love allows us to be rational participants and continue that work.

All labor and trade ought to be aimed to increase each other in truth, goodness, and beauty. A farmer increases his neighbor by providing sustenance. A plumber increases his neighbor by restoring the neighbor's home to right order or expanding its functions in support of the residents. An employee and employer increase each other by one finding and organizing work that can be done and the other by fulfilling it, profiting them both.

Money being a token of this exchange ought to be very difficult to forge, liquid, and stable in value. Money in its essence is a record of goods exchanged and service rendered, or rather the tokens of thanks offered in return of it.

This is really a religious work, religion being one's ultimate aim in life.

Governments are addicted to spending!

How can we increase transparency in government spending for citizens to grasp where their money goes?

The basis for their power is the ability to print money. Without this basic power, all the rest of their power evaporates.

Awesome! Just added my first recipe via Zap.Cooking!

Is there a recipes Nostr client? My wife was just expressing the frustration off the ad hell and dumb life story blogs that make most recipe sites near unusable.

Finishing up the #blockSizeWar, and dang! This history is fascinating!

This clarified a bunch of things, and I am not terribly hopeful anymore that a block size hard fork will ever be possible on Bitcoin. It seems more and more that the only scaling route that doesn't get rid of self-custody is drive chains and lightning combined.
