We should be importing raw materials as much as possible and then selling finished products. We should be doing the value add, not paying someone else to do it.
I have a great deal of trouble posting on Web. System keeps telling me that it cannot connect to the relays.
nostr:note18rrwh7uh47wljmfjxh5h0tqzea7h4fvcqxtr0rvhlrz02927hc9qszd64ySo, you're saying that most of the economic systems and financial products and services that have evolved over the past century will not survive a return to a Wealth Based monetary foundation based on hard money.
That's not a bad thing.
Oh excellent.
I wonder if Range-Based Set Reconciliation (RBSR) could be used to compare genomes..
there is no box.
Hey #nostr , I'm working on a brand new project (extremely WIP) and I need your help reviewing the use cases section
Can you take a look into it and share on this thread if you can understand what the thing is about?

I promise some appreciation zaps 😁
Mesh Networking became popularized during the Arab Spring, and there was a lot of development work done to create apps that could cache information for later distribution once an internet connection was found. One of the largest at the time was FireChat, which was also used during political events in the US leading up to the 2016 election.
Adding mesh networking functionality to Nostr would be a huge step forward.
Not necessarily. LNMesh already allows for mesh networking to be used to cache transactions that then go 'live' when a connection to the internet is found.

What method would be used to determine if a Note has been published to a relay and thus no longer needs to be held in local Samiz node cache?
I would if I could, but nobody in my government listens to me. I'm just a citizen, and they don't care what we think.
State borders are just as much illusions as national borders. They're completely meaningless. Build community where you can find it, online/offline doesn't matter.
Most of us don't support the systems, we usually hate them. But until I found Bitcoin, there just wasn't a viable alternative.
Now that I know that there really is an alternative, I'm stacking sats and bags of popcorn just waiting for the fireworks and for this 250 year failure to finally end.
The war being waged against our own future is going great...
You've got the right idea here. Governments should have a 1% budget surplus and ZERO long term debt. The SWF should be used to transition our entire society away from a debt based monetary system to a wealth based monetary system. And the first step to that is to invest in assets that generate a revenue stream without depending on taxes. So yes, they can buy Bitcoin and put it in cold storage, but what would be even better is if they invested Hash that generated Bitcoin and then actually USED that Bitcoin to pay for government expenses. If we can get more and more investment into hashrate, we could eventually end ALL taxes because the revenue our government institutions need could come directly from the mining hash.
Love the work you're doing on this!
One wish, that there was an indicator on the main screen that shows how strong the connection is between client and relays. Perhaps a circle around the profile icon that shows the ratio of connected (green) and disconnected (red) relays from the Settings:Network list?
I'm asking because frequently I get the notice on Web that the app is having trouble connecting to the relays.
Comparison of Executive Orders Signed by Donald Trump and Other Recent Presidents
Donald Trump (2017–2021):
Donald Trump signed a total of 220 executive orders during his single term as president
. This averages to about 55 executive orders per year.
Barack Obama (2009–2017):
Barack Obama signed 277 executive orders over his two terms, averaging approximately 35 executive orders per year
George W. Bush (2001–2009):
George W. Bush issued 291 executive orders during his two terms, averaging about 36 executive orders per year
Bill Clinton (1993–2001):
Bill Clinton signed 364 executive orders over his two terms, averaging around 45 executive orders per year
Joe Biden (2021–2025):
As of February 2025, Joe Biden has signed 160 executive orders during his single term, which is fewer than Trump and other recent presidents
Donald Trump has signed 26 executive orders on January 20, 2025, the first day of his second term, far and away more than any US President, ever, with dozens following over the past few weeks.
The issue is a Yin/Yang with all the colors of the wind. Everything feeds on itself and each other. Our electoral system in the US was designed to be first past the post because we didn't have time to develop systems like RCV or Proportional Representation. And it takes money to run, which means you have to get money to run, the more the money the higher the probability of winning, and it's a downward spiral from there.
The best book on real democracy that I've read is the Tao of Democracy, with the idea that representatives should be chosen at random from the populace to serve a term, run for reelection to see if they have done a good job, with a max of 12 years in a chamber, House, Senate, Oval Office, Court Bench, etc. Any shorter than that and we see staff taking over, any longer and it just becomes an oligarchy.
The source of ALL our fiat debt based economic problems is budget deficits, and at least at the federal level where it counts absolutely NOBODY is talking about what it would take to balance the budget and keep it balanced.
