🚨 Block 879613 on Bitcoin, mined by MARA Pool, featured Donald Trump's face.

This tribute to the 47th president of the U.S., created via OP_RETURN, was cut short before the block was finalized, but part of it still made it onto the blockchain.

What’s your take on it?

Whats the oldest meme in your camera roll? This is mine.

The key to making money from #Bitcoin is to not care about making money from Bitcoin.

The comments on this are wild.

We're all here hyping up #zaps and #v4v but then criticize people who successfully earn a real income from their social media activity.

Why are you rooting against them? Isn't this what we're hoping will happen here on nostr? nostr:note1dg8yhqm8ah57r6lspyef87x5y0fq4944ht5lvcjh3cyx5e6g34qqzk79lp

I'm not necessarily complaining about sales, although I would always like more. I'm just telling him that it is going to take work to build a following, and to also get to where he wants to be.

I'm actually doing pretty good, but nowhere near where I want to be yet. But, I know I'll get there. The ppl on Nostr are fantastic ppl, and will carry me there. 🫡💪🚀🫂

It's hard at first. I've been on here several months, and still don't have the reach I want. Stay involved, stay engaged. You have to engage with ppl, and they will engage with you. Just like anything of value, it takes work.

Rough start to life here on Nostr, how do you start building community here? I don’t feel as if anyone’s seeing my posts. Trying to learn about Zap,stream so I can bring the podcast live on here..

I have a small butterfly enclosure where I let them die naturally. They only live a few days. I let them fly around my room sometimes and hang out with me 🤞🏼

One of my prized possessions and collections. I caught and pinned them as well 🤞🏼

Does the IRS expect people to pay capital gains if you acquired BTC as payment for goods / services rather than buying? #asknostr #bitcoin

MY VIEWS ON ALCOHOL

(Take 'em or leave 'em)

Alcohol is not good for you.

"But red wine is good for you!" Nope, sorry, not true. Just because grapes are high in antioxidants does not make wine good for your heart. Yes, I know, there was a famous study that said so, but if you’ve read my post on nutrition misinformation, then you’ll know that it ain’t so.⁠

⁠

So, what does alcohol do to your body?⁠

-As it is toxic, your body will prioritise burning it as fuel, and store carbs and fat away while doing so. Not good if you are wanting to lose weight!⁠

-Causes inflammation⁠

-Can cause you to lose control of your eating urges⁠

-Is a diuretic and contributes to dehydration⁠

-It stresses the liver (actually the entire body)⁠

-Reduces deep sleep, suppresses REM sleep, fragments sleep during the second half of the night and shortens overall sleep duration⁠

-Depletes vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, B12 and K, and copper, magnesium and potassium⁠

-It decreases zinc absorption and increases urinary zinc excretion. Zinc is needed to produce stomach acid. (Over 50% of people who drink moderate to high amounts of alcohol are severely zinc deficient.)⁠

-Can exacerbate symptoms of yeast infection

-Can increase blood sugar levels

-Is a major contributor to higher uric acid levels and tends to increase the incidence of gout

-It is addictive

⁠According to Dr Natasha Campbell-McBride (@GAPSyndrome), in her book Gut and Physiology Syndrome, alcohol and sugar addictions are two sides of the same coin. She says to overcome an addiction to both alcohol and sugar, you need to eat lots of animal fats at each meal.

If you choose to drink alcohol, know that it is toxic and that it will in any amount put stress on the your body’s cells, organs and systems. If you have healing to do, or weight to lose, then it might just be something to think about.⁠

Hi Bookguy. It is still very possible. All of the integrations we have with Damus, Amethyst, Snort, Iris, Coracle, Nostrudel, and YakiHonne are still free and nothing has changed.

For the nostr.build homepage you need to authenticate with nip07, act like you are creating an account, when you get to the payment page don’t pay, and the home screen should return like it was allowing you to upload manually.

For the API you would need to add nip98 authentication.

Some non-nostr people were abusing the free uploads and had to lock it down and nostr authenticate people..
