Have you setup your relays? You need to go to 'relays > configure' and mark at least some relays as 'read' and 'write' if you have used them before so it can find your notes, your contacts, etc.
In no world is Trump selling secrets to China. The classified documents were probably Trump keeping evidence of the witch hunts in case he needed proof. But it is a serious charge and it might have serious conseqeuences. When I say serious consequences, I don't mean 18 years in prison, I mean a people's revolution. The American right will never accept that this prosecution of their presidentical candidate was legit, even if it turns out to be legit, since so many things before it clearly weren't.
I don't know, I got this from Michael Shermer's podcast. He'll point you in the right direction: https://michaelshermer.com/ apparently he isn't too busy to respond to emails and contact.
TIL that people who claim to believe that UFO/UAPs are alien spacecraft and that the government has been hiding this from us.... don't actually believe this (or they believe it will not be revealed within their lifetime) because they never bet on it according to prediction markets.

I suspected that people were much more motivated to express their theories than make joke wrong answers. Theory appreciated.

Because of all that damn misinformation on Twitter

I wasn't thinking about particular ones, just the concept in general. Like that Einstein said nuclear energy would never be obtainable, and the Beatles said guitar music was on it's way out, people saying that the real estate market always goes up, that the COVID vaccine would stop the pandemic, peak oil, etc, etc.
Big thinkers like the WEF are almost always wrong in their predictions and in their prescriptions. Why? Wrong answers only.
I'll freak out once the images keep popping up even after I take off the glasses.
Introducing the Gossip "Vision Pro" Edition. This runs gossip across your entire field of view, and is available right now. Prices start at 22,000,000 bitcoins.
I'm adding a proper search to gossip and I tried searching for "bitcoin". Everybody and everything matched. ๐ค
I understand where you are coming from.
I'm personally, actually, deep deep within, a dick. If the world is all running over a cliff to their deaths, I don't warn them, I just let them all fall to their deaths. But I see you are a good guy.
Try other clients.
I'm the author of gossip, a desktop client, and I've been pushing for personal relays (NIP-65) where you can run your own and people who want to follow you will find it in your kind-10002 relay list and then pull your events from it -- this works with gossip and coracle today (at least). IMHO this is the only scalable long-term solution to the problem you're bringing up.
While the LGBT community celebrates pride month, I'm taking some time to celebrate the opposite. I'm thinking about humility. Today I'm thinking about how much I do not actually know. I have no idea what is actually happening in the world. I don't trust what others say or what I read. The world has become far too deceptive and manipulative and political. So I'm humbling myself, reminding myself to focus more on what I know is true because I myself have observed it, and focusing on my immediate environment and what I can change, and to cut back on making pronouncements about or giving opinions on things I really don't know much about. I need to stop pretending that I do.

I just learned about it from your post here, but it looks like something I could do. Would most people be going to Tokyo or Hong Kong, or is the destination still undecided? Either way I think I could make it and since I missed the first one I really should make the effort.

Double-entry accounting is a tried and true method for tracking the flow of money using a principle from physics: the conservation of energy. If we account for all the inflows and outflows of money, then we know that we can build an accurate picture of all of the money we've made and spent.
Bitcoin is particularly good at accounting in this sense, since transaction inflows and outflows are checked by code, with the latest state of the ledger stored in the UTXO set.
What about lightning? Every transaction is not stored on the blockchain, so we need same way to account for all the incoming and outgoing lightning transactions. Luckily for us, core-lightning (CLN) comes with a plugin that describes these transactions in detail!
For every transaction, CLN stores the amount credited and debited from your node: routed payments, invoices, etc. To access this, you just need to run the `lightning-cli bkpr-listaccountevents` command:
```
lightning-cli bkpr-listaccountevents | jq -cr '.events[] | [.type,.tag,.credit_msat,.debit_msat,.timestamp,.description] | @tsv' > events.txt
```
This will save a tab-separated file with some basic information about each credit and debit event on your node.
```
channel invoice 232000000 0 1662187126 Havana
channel invoice 2050000 0 1662242391 coinos voucher
channel invoice 0 1002203 1662463949 lightningpicturebot
channel invoice 300000 0 1663110636 [["text/plain","jb55's lightning address"],["text/identifier","jb55@sendsats.lol"]]
channel invoice 0 102626 1663483583 Mile high lightning club
```
Now here's comes the cool part, we can take this data and build a [ledger-cli](https://ledger-cli.org) file. ledger is a very powerful command-line accounting tool built on a plaintext transaction format. Using the tab-separated file we got from CLN, we can build a ledger file with a chart-of-accounts that we can use for detailed reporting. To do this, I wrote a script for converting `bkpt` reports to ledger:
http://git.jb55.com/cln-ledger
The ledger file looks like so:
```
2023-05-31 f10074c748917a2ecd8c5ffb5c3067114e2677fa6152d5b5fd89c0aec7fd81c5

assets:cln 10000000 msat
```
Each transaction has multiple postings which track the flow of money from one account to another. Once we have this file we can quickly build reports:
## Balance report
Here's the command for "account balance report since 2023-05 in CAD"
`$ ledger -b 2023-05-01 -S amount -X CAD -f cln.ledger bal`

As we can see it shows a breakdown of all the sats we've earned (in this case converted to fiat). We can have a higher-level summary using the depth argument:
`$ ledger -M -S amount -X sat -f cln.ledger bal`
```

As we can see we made 14 million sats this month, not bad! The number at the bottom balances to zero which means we've properly accounted for all income and expenses.
## Daily Damus Donation Earnings
To support damus, some users have turned on a feature that sends zaps to support damus development. This simply sends a payment to the damus@sendsats.lol lightning address. Since we record these we can build a daily report of damus donations:
`$ ledger -D -V -f cln.ledger reg damus`

I spent some time thinking deeply about accounting (while writing my own accounting software) and thought I would share my realizations
1. Tracking the movement of funds is not accounting. Accounting is explaining "why". Why did money flow outwards? Was it an expense? Was it a loan payment? Was it a loan to a friend? Was it a gift? Was it a refund? Was it a transfer to another account of yours? Etc.
2. Double-entry accounting is a system where every movement of funds gets two entries AMONG YOUR OWN ACCOUNTS as a way of recording the REASON for the movement, such that they operate like a transfer of funds between two of your own accounts... such that the sum of your own accounts always adds up to zero. Yes, of course, if money is paid as an expense to someone else, it is not transfer to yourself, but you record it as such under this system. So money flows FROM your bank account TO your expense account in a (source=bank, destination=expenses, amount=?, date=?) entry. In modern times where we aren't using paper ledgers, you don't have to write it down twice, and you probably shouldn't. You should just record a single tuple like the example I just gave. That way you can't possibly have errors where the totals don't add up, ever.
If I heard nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft 's argument I might have an opinion.
Please do, or just summarize for us. Having not thought much about it, delegation seems like a good thing. The only issue I see (because I haven't looked deeply) is that clients that don't support it will generally not fetch those delegated notes, or if they do they will misattribute them (but usually harmlessly to a key that isn't used otherwise).
What is your issue with it? I'm open minded (have no strong opinion here) and could be convinced to remove it from gossip (or downgrade it to a compile feature that is off by default)
