Beef? What cut of beef? Looks cooked the way I’d like it, but probably not as most people think that’s a waste of quality beef (well done)…

I watched a recent youtube video by Bankless called Did Ethereum Crash,

and learned that there are things called clients in Ethereum.

"A client is an implementation of Ethereum that verifies data against

the protocol rules and keeps the network secure." And there are

various types/flavors of clients, and this is thought to be a good

thing as they saw in the recent Ethereum problem, which turned out was fixed by a few types of clients, but a couple (or one, forget)

could not handle the situation that had come up, and it caused a delay in finalizing transactions. But it seems to me that the clients MUST have some sort of baseline Ethereum software, and this problem should have been handled the same in all the clients - that is, recognize this problem problem and fix it. But then again, HOW WAS I TO KNOW... nyuk,

nyuk, nyuk...

trying to get some additional bitcoin wallets (hardware and software)

set up... so I wanted to send a small amount from one wallet to another

as a test. I guess the amount I used was WAY TOO SMALL ($2.50), But it wasn't rejected, was accepted. And that was 22 hours ago. I can see the transaction via mempool.io ... And it estimates it will take another several hours (which is what it said 22 hours ago)... I see the transaction on the receiving wallet side of the transaction - but there are ZERO

confirmations. So, this surprises me. I know/have heard about the

mempool getting backed up, due mostly to ordinals. But this is something else. Yeah, I know - should have used lightning for the tiny transaction. But the receiving wallet is BitCoin only, doesn’t use Lightning…

Every time I see “snort”, I think of this MOST AMAZING open source “network intrusion prevention system” software, created in 1998 => https://www.snort.org/

It is often said and it has been passed down from generation to generation, via encrypted smoke signals => SnottyNostril is a favorite among the most runny of bitcoin nasal enthusiasts…

Yeah, I get it, have seen the directory… but that’s still a separate place to go for the directory… and I get the slow and steady Nostr growth… understand that viewpoint… for now not easy for the non technical users… but it is what is… and yes, Twitter is still there for late breaking news told from one’s own news bubble/cocoon of choice… party on, Garth!!

In my humble opinion Nostr has the possibility to get a much bigger audience if it had built in support for nicknames… Twitter users could connect with all their usual buds who share their ideologies, easier to switch platforms… Twitter is still a really good place for me to find breaking news stories, along with the unavoidable nonsensical dumpster fires that rage out of control there…

Noticed the amount of space used on my Umbrel node SSD is approx 750GB… pretty sure it was close to 600GB not that long ago. Increased size from ordinals, or not enough of them to make that much of a difference? Just wondering aloud.

It’s a nice drama filled story, not unlike what you’d see in a Faux “News” chyron.
