It’s been pretty fun actively finding places on nostr:nprofile1qqsvwct7ssehccgu040egxe4k8k9ru4wd605r2kfv9sf94gsu8pftcqpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9uq32amnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7tcmc5daf Bitcoin map to eat at. I onboarded a few of my friends and family to use the app. I have never felt this much of a momentum push towards using Bitcoin in everyday life. Really cool to see
Worth a watch to support MyLifeOutdoors YouTube channel. When Steven announced his wife was diagnosed with cancer, Luke from OutdoorBoys offered to upload a video to his channel in support of Steven. Love to see it
The AI workflow for developers is seriously getting good
I’ve always wanted to know if it’s the same Satoshi shirt always or if Jack has a different one for every day of the week
Thinking about treating Nostr like how old Twitter was where you would just tweet into the void everything you were thinking
Curious your thoughts on at what point you should migrate your stack from single sig to multi sig or single sig + password? Or if single sig forever is fine for individuals regardless of stack as long as safely stored
Bitcoiners value sound money, free speech, and technology - a deadly combo for authoritarians to deal with
curious what software bitcoiners like to use for doing taxes on taxable bitcoin transactions? And does everyone use FIFO for the cost basis? I sometimes need to use sats to usd for big purchases. Any thoughts? nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m
"There is a reality that human beings cannot continue to be compensated for their finitely scarce time in a form of money that it cost nothing to produce"
There is nothing else I’ve found in life more important to work on than improving the world’s money. ⚡️

curious what kind the tech stack CashApp uses to implement the Bitcoin features? Currently at Bloomberg and using a lot of C++ and Python but would love to someday work on improving the money
Interesting! Thanks for the insight
Is this the reason zaps are enabled on primal? Apple requires that you maintain an integrated wallet? Curious how you were able to get around the constraints put on Damus
One thing I can’t figure out is why zaps are allowed on nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg but not nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955?
Best advice for going through bear and bull bitcoin markets is just always be dollar cost averaging aka just keep buying
The ease of use here makes me want to post more on nostr
Wow I am blown away by how easy to use Primal is. Especially the integrated lightning wallet. Nice work nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z !!
Currently doing some light reading
Incredible to hear people talking about how the Fed is “predicting a recession” as if they can predict anything. Good thing they are centrally managing the economy with their magical predictive powers
Hey Gigi, always wondered how tax accounting would work for an individual and business wanting to transact in bitcoin only, wouldn’t the business need to calculate tax for bitcoin at time of each transaction? So every time you earn it would be a bit tedious to figure out your gain?
idk what Google is thinking with this Bard nonsense, but they need to rebrand this thing as Jarvis and have it running on every google search people make and stop bing in its tracks if they want to retain search dominance. It’s like watching a giant fall in slow motion.
Personally, I like this better
How to benefit from Twitter for Nostr adoption?
The network effect makes it hard to replace twitter. So many people we want to follow and be followed by are on twitter. So, how can we make nostr more attractive UNTIL people move over?
A twitter "mirror" could listen to tweets from a list of accounts and create shadow identities on nostr which it uses to cross-post all tweets. This way, people could move to nostr but still follow ppl on twitter - without logging in to twitter. And without the annoying ads.
But how could we authenticate these shadow identites without the initiative or even consent of the original twitter account?
Enter trusted execution environments (TEE):
We could execute the listener inside a TEE and let it create shadow nostr accounts with a name like "POTUS [on twitter]". The keys to these accounts would be managed by the TEE and are not accessible to the operator of the service.
Then, we could use NIP-52 badges to indicate verified TEE-managed accounts (remote attestation is possible)
It should be fairly straightforward to build this including a complete audit trail with the Integritee SDK:
https://docs.integritee.network/4-development/4.4-sdk/4.4.2-trusted-off-chain-worker
caveats:
* not sure what legal implications apply if we cross-post without consent
* we probably should offer opt-out to be fair to twitterers who do not want to be cross-posted to nostr
* it may make sense to use a specialized set of relays for this, so people can choose to see such cross-posts or not
this is an interesting idea. not exactly my original thought here but cool nonetheless
