Engineer at CashApp. Living in Japan.

Jumping back into Linux after many years by installing Omarchy.

Smooth install on a new miniPC, and it's lightning fast (beelink SER8).

Nice!

I need to get back to doing BB squats.

I think it might be easier if you face the other way. Walking it in to re-rack is easier than backing up at the end of the set when you are tired.

When 1 sat = $1 it's not exactly a micropayment any more.

Sub-sat payments will fix that though.

Japanese government have been trying for years to stoke inflation. Now they are surprised when prices go up fast than wages.

The currency is on a slow grind to zero as they continue to print money to infinity, and they can't stop it because if they raise rates everyone will see they've been swimming naked for a long time.

It would be good if they at least pretended to try doing something to fix it. The only way out is increasing productivity (and that's a long road). Instead they just want to continue papering over the issues to stay in power.

I took a small hiatus after Nostriga to deal with personal stuff and burn out, but I’m back at it.

For the sake of transparency, here’s a summary of what I’ve been up to with Nostr development since ~August 2024 with the grants provided graciously from OpenSats and the Human Rights Foundation.

Comingle iOS:

- Launched v0.1.0 with support for reading and creating NIP-52 calendar events and RSVPs

- Ran trial at Nostriga 2024 conference

Nostr SDK for Apple Platforms (v0.2.0):

- Added NostrEventBuilding protocol to enable code reuse for event kinds that share common tags

- Added support for missing bot, lud06, and lud16 fields in kind 0 profile

- Added support for NIP-17 (Private Direct Messages)

- Added support for NIP-19 (bech32-encoded entities)

- Added support for NIP-65 (Relay List Metadata)

- Updated RelayDelegate to support receiving any type of response

- Added Swift 6.0 tests in CI

- Fixed GitHub actions workflows to resolve deprecation warnings and to be runnable on PRs from forked repositories

- Fixed incorrect tests and lint errors

Damus iOS:

- Added Apple-powered translation popovers for kind-1 notes for iOS 17.4+ and macOS 14.4+

- Fixed broken QR code scanner

- Fixed localization issues

TODO in the coming months (not comprehensive and may change as priorities change):

- Comingle iOS: Fix relay connection and performance issues

- Comingle iOS: Add retries to event publishing

- Comingle iOS: Expand search capabilities to support nevent and naddr on relays that aren’t in the relay list

I really want to love fountain.fm, but it's the worst-behaved android app I've used in years.

When switching to the app it consistently "hangs" with a black screen for ~5-10 seconds, causing my ENTIRE PHONE to be unresponsive. Then the audio gets killed.

What version of Mutiny do you have? nostr:npub1sdnq9yr3kwzaauhylwty6ttnum6zgcf34s0lwcythjcew8zss8fqlm45zq

I saw a recent post saying v0.4.14 fixes some of these issues.

Boom. My new book, Broken Money, is now available on Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CG83QBJ6

I will formally announce it later today, so I guess this is the initial Nostr exclusive. It’s not even searchable on Amazon yet since it is still being incorporated into their wider database. But if you have that link, it is ready for purchase.

The ebook, audiobook, and other print distribution partners will be rolled out over time.

Thank you everyone for your support! This has been a wonderful project to work on, and it will hopefully educate more people about the current problems in the global monetary system and the solutions that Bitcoin has to offer people around the world.
