When I listen to you, it feels like you’re directly speaking to me, not 100k, and I understand what you’re saying 👌🏻… most of the time 😁

My fam know I’m the Bitcoin rep in our circle, but none show real interest or come asking questions 😫

Seeking some help.. Is it normal to have to validate my nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg wallet? should I do this? or better to use an alternative? I'm only interested in non-custodial with lightning address

X (Twitter) is junk.. will never use that app again

I don’t have a spare pc lying around, so my plan: strip back my pi4 to only bitcoin node, electrum, mempool, and nostr relay. Run node on clearnet.. I’ve got NordVPN on mobile, so I should run that 24/7? Or at least strictly when utilising my node-connected wallet? I’m considering moving to Proton VPN too.. Running lightning is beyond me hey. Gave it a go but pretty much had no clue and felt I was just blowing sats

Appreciate the input.. could be Blue Wallet? Or a bunch of things I guess hey.. I want to connect the node to a mobile app, so samurai won’t really work for me. And in saying that, is it possible to even connect to a mobile app via clearnet? or only via onion address??.. I need a bitcoin meet-up in my immediate area 🤦🏼‍♂️

Now you’re talking Swahili to me 😂.. I think I’ll give clearnet a go.. cheers 👍🏻

I suspected this.. so clearnet might improve it? but with a privacy trade-off?

Looking for some node guidance..

Blue Wallet seems to have trouble maintaining a reliable connection. Sometimes not connecting at all.

Any advice out there?

I’m a very basic noder. Pretty much YouTube educated.

I guess my thought was, these few people that meet and make decisions for the rest of us are redundant. If we’re stuck with this system for now, it could be done in a more transparent way so the plebs can better plan their lives. Doesn’t even need to be AI, just a publicly auditable program that takes in the data and spits out the decisions. And can broadcast forecasts as data updates. Or is this some kind of national security concern? competition wise. I honestly don’t know..

Don’t get me wrong, totally agree with the human influence flaw, and would prefer a decentralised monetary system any-day.

Central banks are an obvious use case for AI.. It’s just decisions in reaction to data. That could easily be programmed

In a hyperbitcoinized world an employment contract will have a salary reduction clause based off a negative CPI metric.. you’ll get paid less in BTC terms YOY, yet be better off through your savings/purchasing power and wealth generation opportunities.. Imagine negotiating at a salary review to maintain your current salary, and walk out pumped if you achieve it. Totally foreign mentality..
