Building "Brian", my first brain in silicon Fully vested Chief AI Officer (CAIO) Former, failed, Chief VLOG Officer Former Chief Shitpost Officer - NOSTR Inc. Node runner - Miner - Author My public relay: https://nortis.nostr1.com/ My book: https://mikehardcastle.com/my-book-why-bitcoin/

Interestingly, he himself claims to hold 17,000 BTC personally.

As a private citizen, disclosing your personal holdings is incredibly bad OPSEC, which proves he knows nothing about OPSEC, which is why him explaining the OPSEC risks about not disclosing Strategy's holdings is so obviously stupid ๐Ÿ˜‚

Terminology in my grandfathers book is bad, but the storyline on the Christmas song in my father-in-laws collection is really bad ๐Ÿ˜‚

Damus shows valid, some other clients don't.

If nostr:nprofile1qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq3zamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0qqsgrz3ekhckgg6lscj5kyk2tph0enqljh5ck3wtrjguw8w9m9yxmks6vv4nd wasn't busted right now, I'd search for the posts I had on this with other people pointing it out to me.

You need a tab manager.

Ask AI to sort that for you ๐Ÿ˜‚

I dunno, but my NIP-05 used to work and then I was told something about DNS verification update and now it partially works, i.e. some clients show my NIP-05 as not correct, others as correct and some as non existent.

I don't think it changed, but additional verification was added to confirm it.

I'm not sure, but did you see his answer to the question at the Strategy AGM from a Bitcoiner about them if they intend to release their wallet addresses. He gave a 7 minute BS explanation about why it's bad to release wallet addresses.

Now for you or I who are private citizens, he is correct. But for a public Bitcoin company, or a state like El Salvador that holds Bitcoin on behalf of it's citizens or shareholders, you are obliged to prove that you hold the asset you claim to.

Ironically, I was reminded of another interview Vitalik gave some time ago exposing Craig as Faketoshi, explaining signal intelligence, which means if offered an easy or hard path to prove something, if you choose a hard path, you are normally lying.

A 7 minute patronising talk explaining why nobody understands the security of publishing wallet addresses on Bitcoin, instead of just publishing wallet addresses is pure OPSEC signal of dishonest intent.

Mine used to be, until the spec changed and it stopped working properly, and I'm too lazy and old to work out what they did and how to update it ๐Ÿ˜‚

I know, but it is seriously offensive to modern ears ๐Ÿ˜‚

Also my father-in-law has an old 78 gramophone record that is the most offensive song possible for African people.

Also, it is a Christmas ballad popular among Victorians ๐Ÿ˜‚

He has some Bitcoin, but not the amount he claims.

Also, most of it is "held" by Brian and mixed with everybody else's.

It's been rehypothecated to the moon ๐Ÿš€

Would you like me to DM some of the terms he used? ๐Ÿ˜‚

GM

I like your phone ๐Ÿ’œ

Michael is not a true believer.

He called us Unregulated crypto anarchists

He didn't spend Bitcoin to buy Pizza on Pizza day

and

He can't verify Strategy's Bitcoin holding, despite El Salvador showing him the way

Don't go near Apple, if you start using a Universal clipboard, you'll never be happy using Signal again ๐Ÿ˜‚

That'll be the main news story in the next bear run ๐Ÿ˜‚

There's a Michael Saylor, Vitalik Buterin meme going round mirroring the Coldplay affair couple.

I'm desperately trying to find that on X to post here.

I've even asked Grok to help and am considering paying for its services ๐Ÿ˜‚

The latter might be a good option.

Would be interested to hear how you go as Iโ€™ve reformatted my old MacBook Pro, and installed Mint on it. So kind of relevant.

Thanks, I'll check them out and let you know.

I installed Mint on a an old 2009 Macbook Air about 9 years ago.

I'm now playing with an 2015 Lenovo NUC installed with Fedora.

You are currently out performing my subscribed ChatGPT agent.

Just thought you'd like to know ๐Ÿ’ช

ChatGPT's offering to send me another chunk of the edited book tomorrow.

Even the paid version has stupidly low limits ๐Ÿฅน

I've just discovered there are a lot of politically incorrect terms for foreign people used in my grand fathers book about his time as a naval gunner at the turn of the previous century.

I'm going to have to do a lot more editing myself before I can publish this ๐Ÿ˜‚

ChatGPT has been spell checking, editing, fact checking and formatting my grand fathers book without much success to date.

I have news:

After a lot of prompts and cajoling, I have one, pretty usable chapter and it hasn't crashed yet.

Bad news, I could have done this myself quicker than it took to prompt it to do the work!

And I still have to manually check and make corrections ๐Ÿ˜‚

We are not the same.

Apple's universal clipboard may actually keep me inside their walled garden it's that good ๐Ÿ˜”

Count me out guys, I got an offer from Larry and Brian I couldn't refuse ๐Ÿฅน

Good news tho, I'm starting a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Company, they're all the rage these days don't you know ๐Ÿ˜‚

We're calling it "The Smarter Strategy Treasury Planet" ๐Ÿ’ช

I doubt anybody with any authority knows anything ๐Ÿ˜‚

As I use my IRL identity, I can't change my NIP-05 at will, at least I shouldn't move it from my own domain.

However if you are seeking privacy, then yes, your NIP-05 is kinda irrelevant.

Is identity even real?

My name should have been David, but my mum forgot to tell my Dad as he escorted me with a priest, in the ambulance trying to save my life by taking me to a specialist hospital. The priest baptised me in the ambulance and asked my Dad what he wanted to call me ๐Ÿ˜‚
