Converting old fiat PCs into bitcoin nodes is the best part of our day.

A Git option you may self host on your own StartOS bitcoin node.

It’s open source. MIT license. So you may vibe code and improve it as much as you’d like.

Or, run your relay from your own home via your own StartOS bitcoin node.

More self sovereign. More decentralized.

Without access to AI, how will the Cloudflare engineers resolve this problem? ;-)

In fairness, most use and rely on Cloudflare services every day; and do so for free.

No one is over on Bitchat during the global Cloudflare disruption in service.

He’s thought a lot about spam. More than most.

See Hashcash:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashcash

“Hashcash is a proof-of-work system used to limit email spam and denial-of-service attacks. Hashcash was proposed in 1997 by Adam Back”

Inverse news is that freedom of speech apps like nostr and bitchat are increasing in popularity.

Something like https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashcash to make it costly for the bots and spammers

You are a good eSIM option with fair pricing. Thank you.

Another good option is nostr:nprofile1qqsxp4fkwhc8mm5704mezrh6g35zmp7t2v338wnxhr6yf8tyj9ezj6cpr9mhxue69uhkzer4d36zuvfcwpk82uewwdhkx6tpdsq3camnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wvf5hgcm0d9hx2u3wwdhkx6tpdsfdxw23. Particularly because their plans don’t expire.

If you make 2 or more international trips a year, the leftover minutes you bought for your first trip can still be used for your second trip months later. And you can easily add more minutes to top off.

Do you also offer data-only eSIMs that work globally and don’t expire?

If your UTXOs have a low score preventing you from spending bitcoin:

- install a Lightning node

- use tainted UTXOs to open Lightning channels with other nodes

- freely spend tainted bitcoin via Lightning TXs

- close Lightning channels as needed

- repeat

Right?

Let’s ask nostr:npub19canpmsgykwumm43uxmp0l5sernavvnrf87mau9a6xnjfx6ajjhsh9qj29

It’s an excerpt from the Coldcard article I linked to. They didn’t explain how.

I imagine it is the number of combinations 100 ASCII characters can produce, but that’s just a guess.

Curious…

If a single synthesizer can generate and manipulate a vast range of audio signals, why would you need more than one? Of the sounds that option A can produce vs option B, what percentage of those available sounds overlap?

Over time, Bluejay feathers evolve to display QR codes. The feathers of this young male are about 25% developed to scannable maturity. /s

Safety first. That sign is way too close to the road.

And to think that milk cartons helped find missing children for decades.

I wonder how many support calls like this they will soon receive.

“But I followed your instructions and now my computer won’t boot.”

Yes. Both can be true.

Wait. Yesterday morning you were reading Mastering Bitcoin (https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqs09pgmzy0utfq6v68vqp39h7mqugrnkcrcfat8cr8kg0shm9za34gez9ekt). Did you read and understand all of it in one day? Impressive.
