I accidentally omitted Knots, but given the current drama…

nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll + DATUM + nostr:npub1qtvl2em0llpnnllffhat8zltugwwz97x79gfmxfz4qk52n6zpk3qq87dze + nostr:npub13rhywhcdwvcfgu7qktm7kz3sxqkk6jvs237eq6n0vrmzrlsvnc6s6jcgea

This is the way. 🌊🏄‍♂️🪢⚡️

This talk by nostr:npub1j87rgjtftxaux3xd5nhthwavm3907ywnu8x0z0uywqntsv57vajshl3hzx will be titled "Power to the Nodes".

It will address the latest controversy around Core/Knots and examine the role of node runners in determining the future of Bitcoin.

Can’t wait for nostr:npub1j87rgjtftxaux3xd5nhthwavm3907ywnu8x0z0uywqntsv57vajshl3hzx's take on Core/Knots. Will nostr:npub1wnlu28xrq9gv77dkevck6ws4euej4v568rlvn66gf2c428tdrptqq3n3wr be in the audience? If so, he needs a balcony like Statler and Waldorf. 🤣 (full disclosure, I’m running Knots on my nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll with DATUM to mine on Ocean…)

Guy, I don’t know the details of what you’ve been building for months with Pear, but I feel like I’m going to eventually need it for an upcoming project at our clinic where we’ll want a locally hosted LLM with the ability to securely connect devices to the server P2P style to comply with HIPAA standards. Keep us all updated on the podcast. I’ll likely be an early customer. 🤙🫂

I love that Satoshi was a cypherpunk who also understood Austrian economics. Not only is this quote spot on, it reminds me of nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe‘s mantra from The Price of Tomorrow: “Prices fall to the marginal cost of production.”

They don’t have to know how many sats. And Opsec needs to be taught at a much earlier age than that.

And your kids. Get your kids into Bitcoin and they’ll really blow your friends’ minds. Imagine a 10 or 12 year old explaining the properties of money, inflation, and why absolute scarcity makes the strongest money.

Strike is awesome, too! I used to use Wallet of Satoshi back before they pulled out of the US market. The Start9 and AlbyHub suggestion is a fairly easy way to setup non-custodial wallet.

In addition to using it as a custodial Lightning wallet, I especially like the ability in Strike to spend from cash balance and have the recipient receive Bitcoin. You get to convert wealth from fiat into BTC, and since you’re spending USDs there isn’t a taxable event.

There are LOTS of ways to roll your own, depending on budget. I like the team at nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll, so instead of loading their open source StartOS onto an old laptop, I bought one of their servers to support the company. Buying a plug and play server isn’t as cheap as using an old laptop, but they are VERY turnkey, and as a bonus I’m supporting a company with freedomtech principles. Take a look at their store: https://store.start9.com .Then head over to nostr:npub1rxysxnjkhrmqd3ey73dp9n5y5yvyzcs64acc9g0k2epcpwwyya4spvhnp8's YouTube channel for tutorials on setting up your Start9 and installing services. Trust me, if you can install apps on your phone, you can install services on your server. Watch his videos; they’re EXCEPTIONAL for the freedomtech curious.

You’ll likely want to install Bitcoin Knots ( nostr:npub1wnlu28xrq9gv77dkevck6ws4euej4v568rlvn66gf2c428tdrptqq3n3wr lists lots of reasons to use Bitcoin Knots over Bitcoin Core), electrs, LND, and AlbyHub to be able to use a noncustodial Lightning wallet. But you’ll probably also install many other services to self host your own password manager and a cloud backup for your phone, computers, and devices.

Hit me up again when you get it setup, and I’ll zap you some test sats! ⚡️

It still surprises me how many Nostriches, who have lightning wallets connected to their npub, only use the like button and don’t even set a nominal token zap of like 21 sats to use instead of likes. I get using likes if they haven’t figured out how to connect a lightning wallet, but c’mon, join the zapconomy!
