Okay so TL;DR

Coinkite makes blockclock mini and sells it for $400, closed source

nostr:npub1k5f85zx0xdskyayqpfpc0zq6n7vwqjuuxugkayk72fgynp34cs3qfcvqg2 makes a similar DIY device that is fully open source named BTClock

They get harassed at launch by Coinkite

It goes well for a while, then Coinkite takes down their Github by claiming trademark infringement because BTClock is too similar to Blockclock

opensats board by day, harassing open source plebs by night

I really wonder how many atrocities does this cunt need to do for his cult followers to stop defending him so religiously?

The cult of NVK is one of the biggest blindspots in bitcoin ecosystem and at this point could be the material for great study on how much of an absolute fucking asshole you can be if you've done couple of cool things in your life.

Is there anyone who is *strongly* interested in being an early round beta reader for my sci fi manuscript?

Near-future sci-fi, crime/thriller/cyberpunk. A blend of action and multi-character depth, and moral analysis. The action is key and all, but alpha readers thus far cried at the character aspects; that's what hit them hard enough to care how they would engage with the action.

Strict Requirements for first-stage beta readers:

-I need to know/trust you personally, either in person or very well online with high reputation, to the point that I'd send an unfinished manuscript to you. There's no strict requirements, but if you know, you know.

-You like sci fi and/or fantasy books, and would be happy to read and offer objective (even brutal) feedback on a sci-fi action/crime thriller novel within the next month or two.

-You can comment or DM, for privacy sake.

That's a small group, but I'm putting it here on Nostr first for what I consider my pre-beta or readers. I will then expand 10x on Twitter and elsewhere for my full beta readers.

Meanwhile, I'm in the early revision stage. Manuscripts won't be sent out immediately. I'm still doing revisions and working with alpha readers, but I'm at the stage where I can start *planning* for the next step to see who might be interested to be early beta readers. Nostr folks get the exclusive early notice here.

I do tend to move pretty fast, though.

All pre-beta readers that provide meaningful input would be mentioned in the acknowledgement section, if the book were to be published, which of course I cannot guarantee will happen. I will only publish good books, one way or another.

But like, the alpha readers do like it. ;)

damn, i wish i'd qualify, i'm crawing for some good cyberpunk thriller

geofencing services is such a fucking horrible experience, I need a home country vpn to access fucking utilities websites etc.

these ppl really live in the village they were born their whole lifes and think everyone is the same.

I've done a few of these and i still can't claim 100% immunity from distractions of bull markets 😅

2% inflation target is a well known thing,the real rates are of course different

When I think about stopping, I remind myself that my enemies are sharpening their swords.
