Damus code submissions no longer depends on github. Last 4 contributions were applied via patches@damus.io, and were rewarded 115,000 sats total.

Email allows people to contribute anonymously and without the need for a github account, which is important if their access to github is blocked for whatever reason (china, iran, etc). It’s also annoying to login to github, sending an email patch is a single command.

One day we can use nostr instead of email, once there are better email-like nostr clients, but for now this works ok.

Decentralize all the things ✌️

Idem.

I checked out more than a decade ago, but it does not mean I am helping "the cause" by any means. I just couldn't live with myself anymore, but in retrospect, I should have stretched longer in the "system" to gain more leverage in Bitcoin for later down the road.

I would say, stack as many as possible, and then later, you will use them where it matters and that's when we will make a dent for the better.

I started down the Bitcoin rabbit hole a couple of years ago because I knew that a fixed supply monetary asset would be a great hedge for inflation. At the time, I knew that the world was corrupt, and I knew damn well that money was at the root of it. I knew the wars in the Middle East were bullshit. I knew that the world wasn't fair. But before I explored the rabbit hole, I had no idea how bad things were.

I'm a public servant. I work for the state. I stayed out of politics, and built a job/career where I felt like I was one of the good guys, doing work that fulfilled me. I was helping the little guy... at least that's what I told myself. Now, the longer I spend in Bitcoin, the more I realize that in my fiat life I'm actually a part of the problem.

I know that Bitcoin is going to completely upend the world. And I know that the current version of "the state" is on its final days. I've learned to accept that there's going to be pain. People are going to get hurt, and there's nothing I can do to prevent that. But I'm struggling to figure out where I belong in "this". I just want to leave the world in a better place than I found it.

Is anyone else out there in a similar spot? A part of me want to resign, but I'm not sure if that's my path.

Are they getting some liquidity preparing for the next halving?

I would like to know one personaly for nokyc corn 😌#bitcoin

Glad to find you here 💪

Tor being used in Germany, it seems Germans are trying to escape the clutches of their government.

Welcome to #NOSTR, Twitter refugees.

(NOSTR = Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays)

A few definitions to help your experience.

1) Client: allows you to choose your Relays and publishes what the Relays broadcast.

2) npub: your public key and how others can find you. Any Note with your npub in tags you.

3) Relays: these broadcast Notes (and other stuff) to Clients. Relays censor and are opt-in.

4) private key: used to sign all Notes you broadcast to the network. Anyone who has access IS you as far as the network is concerned. Guard it carefully!

Yea I stopped posting much over there. People I like still are over there but feel like it’s worth it to focus my energy here

The energy on Nostr is way better!🙏🏼 enjoy even the small action!💜
