First post here on NOSTR. I find it difficult to search for people to follow. Any tips other than hunting for npubs on twitter? Thanks happy to be here

Re: Israel-Hamas — I find myself tempted to write emotional tweets with simple proposed solutions. I think it’s mainly my brain trying to deal with feeling helpless.

It’s ok. I have no clue what I am doing.

Gloria, Do you see this?

What is a UTXO?

Think of it like a dollar bill in your wallet. Some are bigger like $20, $50 while others are smaller $1, $5.

Bitcoin has the same thing, except digitally. To pay for a 0.1 BTC item, you pay with 1 BTC but get 0.9 BTC back as change. You now have a 0.9 BTC UTXO (Unspent Transaction Output). Your digital wallet sums up all the UTXOs in your wallet in order to show your balance, but in truth they are distinct.

The fee for making a transaction in bitcoin is based on the data usage and the more UTXOs involved, the more data used. So, right now people are spending their small UTXOs into a payment to themselves to combine their $1 bills into $100 bills.

Ledn just capitulated to their crypto investors (Dan Tapiero and others) and added support for ETH 🤦‍♂️

Anyone know a good bitcoin-only service in Canada for borrowing against BTC?
