Testing Buzz bot for a bounty of 500 sats ⚡

RHR LIVE TOMORROW AT 1900 UTC.

GM

In the seventeenth vignette of Rendezvous with Claude and Friends, Otto Fehlschuss, the legend of FC Bielsteiner Bierbomber, tells a startling tale about that fateful evening in Barcelona in 1999 when Bayern took on ManU in the Champions League final

Will be offline for the coming 7h

Next note from #Cameroon⚡️

GM! ☕ Spring still life: guinea pigs under the swing bench in the backyard. The guinea pigs are mine, and the cat came from the neighbor's house to check them out. 😎

How would #nostr fail?

Probably if the community does not keep-up the pace of standardising/evolving the #nips or spec with the diversity of requirements from the products/use-cases that tend to innovate/integrate with #nostr

🚨⚡️50k SATS REWARD

Seeking bold visuals for a Cameroon keynote 👇🏽

I’m building a keynote for the French Bitcoin Conference in Cameroon covering why #Bitcoin matters for governments, enterprises, HNIs, and individuals, students included.

I’m short on time, travelling on the move, and want to try something different👇🏽

Looking for 10–15 powerful visuals: think minimal, AI-generated or otherwise (yet not already existing online) relevant to #Cameroon and #Africa, no fluff, no childish aesthetics.

If that sparks something in you, drop your graphics (10-15) directly under this post. No DMs.

Selection is 100% subjective; it’s just about what works for me, no hard feelings either way. Deadline for submission by 18:00 (Cameroon time), today April 24.

One thing: even if I don’t end up using any of the submissions, I’ll still tip 50,000 sats to the best one. #Nostr Contributions won’t be credited on the slides, but this post will stay up as the reference point.

🚨Ps: anyone reposting this post would get a guaranteed 21sats⚡️

DCA Strategy (hourly, daily, weekly)

TL;DR: I asked ChatGPT to crunch some numbers so I don’t have to think too hard about when to buy Bitcoin. Turns out: it kinda matters – but not that much. Weekly DCA is a gamble, daily is chill, hourly is overkill (unless you're into spreadsheets and order spam).

I came across a dataset going back to 2017 with hourly OHLC prices from Binance (UTC-based, it seems). I’m no data analyst (and barely use Python), so I let my friend ChatGPT do most of the heavy lifting while I nodded approvingly.

Curious to see how much of a difference timing actually makes, I ran some comparisons between hourly, daily (at different times), and weekly DCA strategies (on various days and times).

Fees weren’t included – so if you're using a platform that charges per order, hourly DCA might nibble away at your sats faster than you think.

The results?

In the worst case, the deviation between the best and worst strategy is around 4%.

Surprisingly, both the top performer and the worst performer turned out to be weekly strategies.

If you want to reduce that variance, daily DCA seems like a solid middle ground.

Hourly DCA? Only moderately useful. Even if you consistently hit the worst time of day for your daily DCA order, the deviation is still only around 0.3–0.4% (depending on the time range you’re looking at). But hey – that’s just 30 orders a month instead of 720, which might matter if you’re tracking things for tax purposes.

You could turn this into a science project (and add stuff like volatility, Sharpe ratio, etc.) – or just go with your gut and buy whenever your coffee kicks in and Bitcoin crosses your mind.

I did this little experiment back in late December and haven’t touched it since.

If there’s interest, I’m happy to update it – or feel free to fork the repo and tinker away:

Let's try this

Ein kleiner Text für meine Familie:

In klassischen sozialen Netzwerken bekommst du Likes – und das war’s. Wer mit Inhalten Geld verdienen will, braucht Werbung, Sponsoring oder eine Plattform, die mitschneidet. Gleichzeitig entscheidet ein Algorithmus, was du siehst – und verkauft deine Aufmerksamkeit weiter. Denn du bist nicht der Kunde, sondern das Produkt.

Weil das zugrunde liegende Protokoll offen ist, kann jeder eigene Apps darauf aufbauen. Der Buzzbot zum Beispiel ermöglicht es, für Posts kleine Prämien zu vergeben – und belohnt damit echte Interaktion aus der Community. So lassen sich Inhalte gezielt anschieben, ohne Werbung zu schalten oder Algorithmen zu bespielen. Reichweite entsteht durch Beteiligung – nicht durch Bezahlung.

Das Beste: Du brauchst nur einen einzigen Login. Damit kannst du dich bei beliebigen Nostr-Apps anmelden und überall deine Kontakte, deine Inhalte und deinen Ruf mitnehmen – wenn du willst.

Du entscheidest, wem du folgst. Keine Plattform, kein Algorithmus dazwischen.

Und das eröffnet eine ganz neue Dimension:

Stell dir vor, du bekommst Empfehlungen, Meinungen oder Reviews – nicht anonym oder gekauft, sondern von Menschen, denen du vertraust. Von deinen Kontakten, nicht von Algorithmen. Das gilt für alles: Inhalte, Orte, Produkte, Nachrichten. Relevanz entsteht aus echten Beziehungen – nicht aus Werbeprofilen.

Dezentral. Transparent. Fair. Ermöglicht durch Bitcoin. 🧡
