Will getting pretty girls explaining Bitcoin to people change the world, who knows 🤔?

I asked Gemini for 3 apps to post on Nostr. In one prompt, it gave me a CLI app, a simple GUI app using Tornado FX (text field + button) and a Compose Android app. Everything works, except for a the use of a `nostr-kt` library that doesn't exist.

When I pressed about, Gemini hallucinated the whole library description and what the methods do. When I ask for the website for that library, Gemini replied:

The other day on Twitter/X, I paid out a 2,100,000 sat or $1,700 USD Lightning bounty.

Over the past couple years, I’ve offered an occasional challenge on Twitter/X.

When people tell me Lightning doesn’t work, I often ask them in random comments for their Lightning details so I can pay them in the next 5-10 minutes on the spot, permissionlessly, wherever they are, with this payment method that supposedly doesn’t work.

Every single time, they can’t do it. Because they haven’t even tried it. They’re just talking. I’ve done this a ton of times and nobody ever takes the sizable sat offerings.

In Dan Held’s anti-Nostr thread, Mark Jeffrey was critical of Lightning.

Unlike most who I offer the challenge to as 99% sure they won’t take it, I offered it to Mark despite knowing he had a much higher probability of accepting it, since he’s tech savvy and active in the broad crypto space. But in my view, if he accepts, then that’s also evidence on the spot that it works.

He declined my 21,000 sat offer and politely still talked anti-Lightning.

So, I said since I like him, I’d up it to 210,000 sats. He still declined and talked more anti-Lightning. He spoke about how he *wanted* it to work, but the problem just isn’t solved yet.

My inner Nostr Lyn couldn't help it, so I upped it to 2,100,000 sats, or $1,700+ USD, if he would just post a way to pay him on Lightning within the next ten minutes. Nobody had ever taken me up on my challenge, so I pressed to my highest offer ever just to see, out of sheer curiosity. He’s a multi-time published novelist, which with my recent fiction hobby, interests me. So, if there’s someone I want to claim the bounty, might as well be him.

And then you know what? He did. Of course he had a Lightning address.

He went from “want it to work but…” to digging through his past experiences and finding an old Lightning address, within a few minutes. The first person on Twitter/X to accept my challenge.

I paid him 2,100,000 sats on the spot, or $1700+ USD.

if DNM users ever adopt Lightning network it will be through systems like this.

spin up a custodial hot wallet without KYC, deposit funds from a mixer and buy your stuff.

just sayin'

They don't even have new FUD.

> Bitcoin

The largest and longest running electronic payment system that tolerates byzantine faults today is

Bitcoin. Bitcoin provides a very high degree of resiliency and security through its consensus mechanism.

However, this comes at the expense of two challenges.

First, Bitcoin requires a large amount of energy consumption and compute power due to its

permissionless proof-of-work consensus algorithm (Bitcoin nodes can join and leave at will and can be

operated by anyone). This is not an essential component for a centralized payment system which

operates in a permissioned setting, and a central bank could leverage other BFT algorithms which avoid

the large costs.

Second, Bitcoin is a single cluster system that does not support parallelization or partitioning. Both

factors cause Bitcoin to have high latency and low throughput. Today, Bitcoin can only accommodate

approximately 7 transactions per second with latency ranging from 10 minutes to one hour, depending

on the probability threshold the payee requires to consider a decision containing a payment final

This fucking statist vaccinated boomer who uses Apple and Twitter user and is pro-censorship...

... is now pushing newbies to not memorize their seedphrase because, i kid you not, he believes in mental telepathy—autistic kids that can read your mind and steal corn. 🤡

Bitcoin influencers are the fucking worst of the worst.

∀n ∈ ℕ, prove (21n + 4) / (14n + 3) is irreducible.

Proof:

gcd(21n + 4, 14n + 3)

= gcd(2(21n + 4), 3(14n + 3))

= gcd(42n + 8, 42n + 9)

= gcd(42n + 8, 1)

= 1

∴ (21n + 4) / (14n + 3) is irreducible. QED
