Great thread on Ashigaru's Wallet source code and reproducibility by Larry Lasermind on X. Recommend.

What else do we buy sats for? Haha. Stickers and hats. It's them rules.

Absolutely amazing job with the Barcelona one but both are great! Where can I find more information on the BCN event?

RSS is one of those humble protocols that glues the web. It was born out of the same values (openness, data portability, ...) that are the foundation of Nostr.

You may not be aware, but you can already export most of the content you create and publish today into an RSS feed.

- Most blog platforms allow users to make their content available as an RSS feed.

- Most bookmark services allow users to create an RSS feed from their bookmarks.

- Plenty of third-party services enable the creation of RSS feeds for your Twitter, Instagram, Facebook accounts (think RSS.app, IFTTT, ...).

- Most podcast platforms generate an RSS feed for your show.

- ...

On the other hand, Nostr is poised to become the new web infrastructure. It will dismantle the walled gardens we've been living in for too long and is already shaping an ecosystem of decentralized apps that will gradually replace centralized ones, one by one.

Connecting RSS and Nostr is obviously a necessary step to accelerate the transition toward this new web powered by Nostr. This Geyser Project (link below) aims to build the necessary momentum to create a tool that enables everyone to make the most of RSS in a Nostr world.

Applications are countless: just imagine turning the RSS feed of bookmarks about a specific topic into a nice stream of Nostr notes pushed to a specific npub profile, and then transformin those Nostr notes into a beautiful website built with nostr:nprofile1qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wd4hk6tcqyqyw4hjsmaga5jjz7hwqgh34kdceqtsx665q2g2mas7h9hrg0n9sgfvzdyk .

⇒ Help me build rss2nostr!

I'm fully aware there are already a few tools out there attempting this, but all of them are quite limited in features or designed to only serve tech users.

What we need is a web app that allows users to:

- Submit the RSS feed they want to connect with Nostr

- Define rules and parameters for converting RSS items into Nostr events

- Specify the Nostr profile they would like to publish the events to

Furthermore, using a liberal open-source license, we may enable the development of competing/specialized web apps.

Could potentially use this webhook implementation for messages to be posted on IRC via webhooks for the possible RSS to nostr implementation. Keep in mind, have a look! https://github.com/cfindlayisme/wmb

How do they measure this? Just brand-new wallets with bulky first-ever txs. on chain? 🤔

It's not surprising that Bitcoin maxis are calling something other than Bitcoin a shitcoin. What is surprising is Monero is probably the only other cryptocurrency that many of them give a pass to, actually use, or respect even if they don't use it:

"Monero is a very good privacy complement to Bitcoin" -Nick Szabo

"I looked at all the other major cryptocurrencies that had adjustable blocksizes and the only one that I thought that didn't completely suck was Monero" -Jameson Lopp

"Maybe you need a Monero" -Michael Saylor

"For really strong privacy, Monero is much better" -Andreas Antonopoulos

"There's a lot of advantages to using Monero" -Matt Odell

"Monero is the only goddamn currency that's used!" -John McAfee

"Monero will be a champion in that space and we'll have a Bitcoin-Monero duopoly" -Max Keiser

"All fiat systems and all tokens outside of Bitcoin and monero (to my knowledge) have middlemen you cannot get rid of" -Adam Curry

"I would say Monero is not a shitcoin. I think it's a very innovative and new research project that works." -Max Hillbrand

"Monero; Just use it. Objectively it's better than Bitcoin [for privacy]...it's obvious" -Amir Taaki

"Monero is closer to our hearts than whatever Bitcoin is turning into today" -Samourai Wallet

"Bitcoin is the reserve currency. Hold it. Privacy coins are transactional privacy. Use them...Monero" -Balaji

"99% of cryptocurrencies are complete and total garbage, but even among the upper echeleon of real ones, Monero is in the top percentile, so it deserves our respect" -Paul Sztorc

"Surprising number of Monero lovers on #Nostr. It’s the only altcoin that I consider has a community of actual cypherpunks with similarly aligned values as bitcoin." -Guy Swann

"Monero has always been the altcoin outlier for me, never a shitcoin because I have a valid use for it that I can't achieve with #bitcoin." -Peter McCormack

"I have an issue when Bitcoiners get so closed-minded and says Moneros a shitcoin. No it's not. There's some brilliant people there and there's a lot to learn...I'm a fan of Monero." -Nicholas Gregory of Mercury Layer

"monero is the best of all Altcoins" -Calle

"To me Monero is the litmus test in Bitcoin...Monero is such a good money just technically" -Ragnar Lifthrasir of Guns N Bitcoin

"There are altcoins out there that have interesting ideas, but they are very very rare...if a couple altcoins exist, like Monero, where they actually have an interesting idea and a different model that's fine." -Peter Todd

"Monero is doing the job that gave btc its start." -Ray Youssef

Monero - They can't stop what they can't see.

I like to think that merging microblogging short form feeds with long form content within the same app the way we've done with Primal, and merging the wallet into the whole UX there; we're starting to, in some aspects, overtake the feature set and the UX that is available in legacy platforms, and this is just beginning, you know? We've been at it for almost 2 years, we started coding in January 2023." (Episode recorded in November, 2024.)

Rather than writing hundreds of lines of Python code just to automate social media posting, I streamlined the process today using Make.com. Now, nostr:nprofile1qqsyttwmn8vwch3549k49wzscefalmlzkj05da4v4hmzty4lua9kuzgldvu7k's dynamic dynamic charts are automatically posted to FB, Instagram, and LinkedIn every two hours, completely hands-free. Feels like magic. Still using Python to post to Nostr and Twitter.

What does the python script do for nostr? Is it through an API or RSS feed?
