Relief walking out of the bank.

Not so wild as what is the question. Murder rates in cali gold rush boomtowns and cattle towns were astronomically high.

LA mid-1800s at some point was over1k per100k at some point. Pretty small place, sort of a supply town, but still.

Mining camps could see 500 per 100k, quieter boom towns 100 per.

London for reference is now about 1.5k per 100k. Even worst parts of worst cities in the US now wouldn't hit average gold rush levels.

As a gold miner, you'd have likely been very relieved to have been allowed to open a bank account

Except wrench attacks exist.

Many people these days so comfortable that the've forgotten how physical violence works.

Go back in time and ask a gold miner during the california gold rush how he feels about the invention of banks. Imagine the fear walking around the wild west with all the cash you got back for your gold in your pockets, and for months or years until you can get back home.

And no, wrench attackers don't give up and say "oh shucks" when you inform them you're on some multi-sig arrangement.

Looking for email app to replace Thunderbird on #Linux. Go.

💥 finally established a successful handshake with the new iOS version of btichat that uses noise xx encryption with forward secrecy.

I ended up forking the noise-java crypto library (used in signal) and had to make open heart surgery so it supports static keys instead of generating new ones for each session.

still buggy af and the handshake only works 10% of the time but seeing this fucking lock turn green has been the most valuable learning experience I've had in the last year.

I know kung fu.

Lightning isn't currently possible to self custody

You can either let someone hold your sats, or pay people to help you run a node, which liars call "running your own node"

Lightning is a shitcoin, we need real cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin / doggie coin / Ethereum

I am from India and I agree with you hundred percent.

Working towards two new products that doesn't involve leather but remains in the realm of quality and within the spirit of the brand.

Pretty excited.

I have discovered the horrors of getting yolk in your beard

I really enjoyed BTC Prague. Great venue, very open, and a really nice vibe. Prague is an amazing city. I do think the organizers missed an opportunity with the kids, though. I managed to get a ticket for my 8-year-old through someone, but on the website, she would have paid adult price, which is crazy.

My kids and their friends were really welcomed everywhere there, and the Honey Badger guy was amazing (looking to send him some sats). However, it would be nice to add a small kids' corner or something, as they are literally the future of Bitcoin. They learn by being around adults (this is unschooling). Separating them from the conference is such a fiat schooling system approach... It takes a community to raise kids, and I'm hoping next time kids will be encouraged to attend.

There is a big wave of unschoolers coming over the next few years as Bitcoiners start to realize the current system is deeply flawed and destructive to kids' learning and overall mental acuity and health.

Let's treat kids seriously, and this energy will be returned in leaps and bounds.

I have not, yet. But I would definitely consider making one. It's a very interesting tool, particularly for those with less reliable internet connections.

Think of it as turning phones into relays that store notes but also share them with other nearby phones via bluetooth.

Thanks very much for the recommendation 🙏🏽.

Tao Te Ching.

Just a few pages in.

So I got very inspired at nostr:npub167n5w6cj2wseqtmk26zllc7n28uv9c4vw28k2kht206vnghe5a7stgzu3r to start using Nostr.

Trying to figure out how to do stuff on it. I am so tired of social media and hope that this will be different.

I am a creative entrepreneur and musician. Together with some friends we run a cultural center in an old historic train station in rural Germany. We will start posting content soon as we would love to connect to the amazing bitcoin community. I found this the first community where I see a lot of my values reflected.

This is our place www.bahnhof-leisnig.de. We are working on accepting BTC in our bar 😉. If you are close please pass by and talk to us.

Looking forward to connect 😊🎉😍

This book right?

🤯 i didn't know about this, how to know the oxalate content in cashew nuts and what's the safe daily amount per day for an adult nostr:nprofile1qqsxare7m73ghlyq2ltn2720w6mf008337ufffdr0gfjdyltmgc6geqpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3gamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwdehhxarj9eskjqgswaehxw309ajh2tnjvfezucnfdundnk4t ?

ok .. phone .. so sim swap attack. Desktop computer .. well, those are sort open book. I added Two factor authentication to my Desktop app thingy ... but a Blockstream Jade looks like the next step up ... I think I'm gonna order direct from Blockstream.

Looking into Swan Vault whish is like a 2/3 thingy.

Wherever I turn though .. there's always nuggets of "TRUST".

Is there a thing where I can just randomly generate my own 24 word phrase. Thinking of buying a desktop and just keeping it offline.
