Neighbours probably wondering why I check the mail box 3 times a day.
In a "scaling bitcoin" panel at the bitcoin 2019 conference, he was advocating for ongoing (and totally arbitrary) block size increases.
Great suggestion!
Hi Mohamed,
One strategy I found helpful was looking at the profile of the people that you follow (ex. Jack or Pablo in your case), and on THIER profile pages, you can see a list of who THEY follow. And you can browse that list and add any names that jump out to you as familiar.
Dell blog post from a decade ago announcing the company would accept #Bitcoin, even offering 10% off a new Alienware system purchase when checking out with bitcoin.
Does this discount make Dell the first "Bitcoin Preferred" company?
The real question is... did they hodl?

Newegg might have beat them by a few weeks.

"Cash is trash" - Ray Dalio
Nothing against Monero. At all. Monero is great.
But for the record, Chaumian ecash (1994) predates bitcoin by nearly 20 years. So ecash is definitely not a fork of bitcoin cash.
It's having a renaissance now that it can be backed by btc instead of fiat.
Feel free to hate on it, to each their own, but... its not a fork of bcash
"Stacking SATs saves lives"
I am a proud to have been a kickstarter contributer to this movie in 2013.
For all time, there will be some cool cat named Evan in the kickstarter credits between Tim May and Keanu Reeves.
Nothing extra to setup no (re NWC). Just having both Amethyst and Minibits apps installed means the flow looks ...exactly like this when zapping someone.
After clicking the zap icon and amount it loads my Minibits wallet, auto fills the amount and I press the 'pay now' button. Wait a second. I do have to go back to Amethyst manually and then I get to see see the zap counter update.
As long as I'm shilling Minibits (not paid sponsorship haha), the zap receive address is kyc-free. If you want a custom address name, it costs a very reasonable 500 sats. Minibits also gives you access to an ecash wallet if you haven't dipped your toe into that universe yet.

Minibits works for both sending and giving a person a fixed address for receiving zaps - using Android with Amethyst.

¡Muchas gracias!
I know I’ll start sounding like nostr:npub1cj8znuztfqkvq89pl8hceph0svvvqk0qay6nydgk9uyq7fhpfsgsqwrz4u here, and I know there’s probably stuff we disagree on, but you know what…
Both democrats and republicans make decisions that lead to more money printing and inflation!
So the argument that it’s only progressives that believe in centralized authority, money printing, government control, etc…totally false!
I think what you mean to say is “I don’t like the way progressives use government control and money printing.” Which is fine if that’s your opinion. But republicans also use government control and money printing, maybe you just tolerate it more?
Daily I get trolls that say you can’t be progressive and a bitcoiner because of those reasons stated above. You could spin the same argument and say you can’t be a bitcoiner and conservative, whatever. Which of course isn’t true.
I’ll say it again — Bitcoin is anti-authoritarian. There are authoritarians in all nooks and crannies of government and political parties.
You are going to start pronouncing all short 'o' vowels as long 'o's ? 🥁
What kind of information do you look for when choosing an ecash mint? When you look at the list on https://bitcoinmints.com what do you find helpful? What is missing?

Media ideas to keep going?
The 'What Bitcoin Did' interview with Aaron Van Wirdum about the Genesis of Bitcoin. If you've heard it before, skip to 1:19:20 and put it on 1.75x
"Both Bit Gold and b-money where '98, Hashcash was '97, ecash was also 90's, RPOW was 2005"..."Interesting backstory is at this point most of these people, the cypherpunks, had kinda given up on this idea, they kind of figured, it can't be done. Also noone seems to care, everyone is very happy to just use credit cards, and everything else. Paypal was launched at this point, people don't care, whatever I guess we are going to get on with out lives"
But not Hal Finney.
Skip to 1:34:50
"[Bitcoin whitepaper] was met with indifference and skepticism for the most part, and famously Hal Finney was the one exception. Again Hal Finney of course, as I mentioned, he still had this idea for digital cash in 2005, RPOW, long after everyone else had given up on the idea essentially. And then when bitcoin launched, he got interested and had one of the few positive responses."
I don't have timestamps, just my own notes of trying to shake people down to listen to a different 'What Bitcoin Did' episode with Fran Finney, where she goes over Hal's eternal optimism.
When he couldn't walk - okay.
Before he lost the use of his hands, he built an arduino project that would track his eye movement so he could still type with his eyes.
Later he didn't like his Stephen Hawking speech program so he reprogrammed it...WITH. HIS. EYES. And kept right on going.
Every one of those Earth shattering roadblocks, was just another problem to solve.
On more than one occasion, the path that led us all to bitcoin would have come to a griding halt if it wasn't for Hal's out of this world optimism and work ethic.
So, to answer your question, if you want a motivator, bring up picture of Hal kicking asses and taking names WITH ALS, and try to muster a hundred millionth of that drive.
