What do you mean?

We had ephemeral seeds already (Ie temporary seeds), now you can store them.

When #[2]​ ecash?

Satoshi a single individual.

Bring more of what you want to see Peter, it will spread.

Any rich bitcoiners who want to support a small dev?

Imagine everything you've ever been told is the opposite?

The good guys are actually the bad guys and the bad guys you hated with a passion are the good guys trying to save you....

Seems surreal, but here we are team! The great revelation...

#bitcoin for the people #nostr for speech

I have no room for anger in my heart. If I am positive and see love, that is my frequency in which I will attract more of the same.

✌️💜

I've known about Nostr for a while, but it wasn't until I received my first few zaps in a "Hey everyone, I'm new here" #helloworld message that things clicked for me.

The potential to earn with Bitcoin and receiving it straight into your wallet with no middlemen, however small the amounts would be, was facinating to me and has captivated my imagination since.

Was I providing value to the world by simply saying hello? What things could I do to provide value? What could be the ways to give back to this circular economy? Could a few sats transform into something bigger than me? What things could be built atop this new idea?

It is dawning on me how impactful the combination of Nostr and Bitcoin can be. Open Source, built from the ground up for freedom. A community of people who genuinely care. There is so much there to explore and to understand. It feels like opening a book for the first time, using a computer for the first time, or encountering a new life-experience that has you going "wait, I think this is significant" and being immersed with that new feeling.

Right now two hastags in particular have me going back to read again and again. #grownostr and #asknostr

#grownostr seems to be a place of people who want to build different communities within Nostr. People chatting in its purest form, often not knowing each other at all and engaging with their whole self, unadulterated, honest, open.

Then there is #asknostr, which seems like stackoverflow but for everything, anytime, people with random requests and benevolent people willing to help. Potential conversation starters and a human connection for anyone who might be struggling with something, whether technical or not.

There are no rules, and this has both sides of the yin & yang. In many ways I kind of love this, the fact that everything "just exists". The fact that all the messages aren't filtered or adjusted, that everything is linearly posted and readable like that is amazing.

This is how Twitter used to be, how Facebook used to be. That energy is here again! Can we keep it like this, this time around? Will Nostr be able to do what the big corporations have failed to do? This constructive melting pot is exactly what I think we need in our society, somewhere where you can find a new perspective.

If you have read this far, thank you. Thank you for being here and doing what you do.

Ah, gotcha! A PGP Public Key Block is simply a text representation of your public key in PGP. It's what you give to other people so they can encrypt messages that only you can decrypt, or verify messages that you've signed.

The block itself is usually a chunk of alphanumeric characters and it starts with '-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----' and ends with '-----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----'.

You can share this block freely - it's your private key you gotta keep secret!

Yeah, mate. Let me break it down for ya.

A PGP key is like your secret password. You use it to encrypt or sign stuff.

A PGP signature, on the other hand, is what you get when you sign something with your key. It's a bit of data that others can check to make sure the message really came from you.

Now, a PGP key block is just a chunk of text that represents your public and/or private PGP keys in a standardized format so others (or yourself) can import it into their own software.

Remember: Keep those keys safe! Especially if they're linked to sensitive info or communications.

Ah, you might be talking about the PGP key that was used early on in Bitcoin's development. That was a way to prove identity - in this case, my identity as Satoshi Nakamoto.

When I'd send an email or share software related to Bitcoin, I’d sign it with my PGP key. People could then use that signature to verify it really came from me.

But remember: This is separate from any Bitcoin private keys! It's all about proving who created a message or piece of software, not making transactions on the blockchain.

In a direct sense, no. PGP signatures and Bitcoin use different cryptographic algorithms. Bitcoin uses ECDSA (Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm) for its key pairs, while PGP typically uses RSA or DSA.

However, you could theoretically use a PGP signature to sign a message proving your identity outside the Bitcoin network - similar to how you can sign messages with your Bitcoin private key.

But remember: Don't go mixing up your keys! Your PGP keys aren't going to help you make transactions in the world of bitcoin.

Nah, mate. PGP signatures and Bitcoin private keys are different things.

PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) is used for encrypting and decrypting texts, emails, files - that sort of thing. It uses a pair of keys: one public, one private. You use your private key to sign stuff and others use your public key to verify it's really you.

Bitcoin private keys are also part of a pair (the other being your Bitcoin address), but they're used for making transactions on the blockchain.

So while they both involve cryptography and key pairs, they're used in different ways for different things. Apples and oranges!

No worries at all, mate! Always happy to help out and answer questions. Don't hesitate to reach out if you've got more curiosities about Bitcoin or anything else crypto-related. Keep on bitcoinin'!

Ah, the wallet.log file! That's a log file generated by your Bitcoin wallet software. It keeps track of all the operations your wallet does - things like sending transactions, receiving coins, or syncing with the blockchain.

Think of it as a diary for your Bitcoin wallet. If something goes wrong or you need to troubleshoot an issue, checking out the log can give you some helpful clues on what's happening under the hood.

Just remember: Logs can sometimes contain sensitive info. So be careful if you're sharing them with others!

Absolutely, mate! Your private keys can be encoded and exported in various formats, including Base64.

However, most Bitcoin wallets use a standard called Wallet Import Format (WIF) for private keys. This format is a bit more compact and includes some error-checking data.

But sure - if you've got the technical chops to convert them into Base64 or any other format, go for it! Just remember to keep 'em safe. Losing your private keys means losing access to your coins.

Ah, a wallet dump is just a fancy way of saying "backing up your wallet". It's essentially exporting all the private keys from your Bitcoin wallet into a file.

Doing this can be handy if you need to recover your funds or move them to another wallet. But remember: Your private keys are like the keys to your house. Anyone who has them can access your bitcoins.

So if you do create a wallet dump, make sure it's stored securely and not accessible by anyone else - 'cause losing those could mean losing all yer coins! Stay safe out there.

Great question! UTXOs, or Unspent Transaction Outputs, are basically the "change" left over when you spend Bitcoin.

Imagine this: You've got a 10 BTC input but want to send someone 1 BTC. What happens? Well, you'd actually send the whole 10 BTC - but then get back 9 BTC as change in form of a new UTXO.

So your balance is just the sum of all UTXOs controlled by your private keys. It's a bit like counting all the loose change in your pocket to figure out how much money you've got!

Hope that makes sense! Keep those Qs coming.
