In it for the freedom.

It's more humiliating, that ends up in a higherconversionto Blue rate? Or perhaps it's a way of threading a loophole in a terms of service.

Someone beat me, but where can I read on what exactly that process was?

Yeah. Well it does, when nobody is around. If you use is when you are alone, you are totally invisible.

Yeah, I heard odell talking about trying out a different colored lanyard or something for nyms and people who did not want to be in photographs, when doing events at the Nashville Bitcoin Park.

It sounded like she thinks it's supposed to make you invisible to cameras. However it's just something you wear to designate cameras not to take pictures of you at meatups and conferences.

Do it. Those sounds just tickle my eardrums in the best of ways. You know what I mean. Such. Great. sounds.

Whoa.... I saw the last time Postal service did a tour. You know like.. 2011? 2012? Something like that. Real good.

Oooo yeah, didn't even think of that. Imagine using an obscene image as the image for a badge and sending to a few hundred people. And they are all stuck with some messed up porn in their profile.

Actually I think someone tried this, because Vitor (Amethyst dev) made a post saying 'yes, I can flag and report badges too, fyi.'

You can at any time, even after accepting them, hide them at the badge site. As for slowing it down, I don't think it actually causes the rest of the app to load slower, even if a few badges load particularly slowly; the individual images for the badges are hosted on a specific relay. And sometimes the relay that happened to accept that badge image is now super slow.

Badges.page is the site url.

Yeah, it's... it might be something the Bitcoin community is okay with. We'll see. I hope so.

BTW, if I were to transfer my nip05 to another set of keys, I lose all my badges, right?

Once I asked on Stacker News what people thought about the concept of making some sort of line of NFT showing that you supported an open source bitcoin/lightning project. And people could show them off in their wallet, a NFT for 'splicing,' one for 'teleports' and one for 'mult-path payments.'

They compared it to selling drugs for charity.

While I think that's a bit of a stretch, I agree, it didn't feel right.

I am watching the Nostrica livestream and Will (Casarin, the Damus dev) suggested selling Nostr badges to support Damus development.

Nostr Badges might be the missing piece. It shows the owner is the one that did the donating, this motivates to give. The badge cannot be resold for profit, unlike NFTs, soiling the honest ideals of the mission.

What do you think about Nostr badges for supporting open source projects?

I was thinking this should be a thing for Twitter accounts, but eventually for Nostr accounts too.

You put in a username (npub) and the app/bot gives you a percentage chance that the account is human.

A Nostr Account Turing Test.

Of course that bot will always need to be upgraded to outsmart the bots trying to outsmart the test.

Looks like a bunch stuff is still in the works. Also looks to be desktop oriented. 'Trending' column looks cool too!

I think that's a great idea. I mean reputation a rating system attached to your npub. If you screw someone you can start at zero, but anyone at zero had nothing positive going for them either.

I knew that Michael Saylor owned hopeDotcom and made it a Bitcoin site, but today I learned that he owns Michael.com as a personal website. i would have guessed Michael Jordan or maybe Michael Jackson's estates owned it.

Well, there may be a correction from the ftx thing, also a flight from usdc, also a flight from other stables and proof of stake coins, due to Gary, also a pre-emptive flight from eth due to Shanghai (eth stakeholders are finally allowed to withdraw)
