People like Gary Gensler still talking as if Bitcoin is the go to medium of exchange for black market activities in 2024 are absolute clowns.
I can tell you, and anyone who uses DNMs will back me up, no darknet market today wants to accept Bitcoin. Many don't even provide it as an option.
Black market operators like privacy coins for OPSEC reasons. Fact. And where do darknet vendors get their supply? From black market wholesalers who want cash. Untraceable fiat currency.
I'm an agorist so I'm not saying this to badmouth privacy, just venting because I see clowns like Gary Gensler talking about how Bitcoin is used by criminals. No it is not. No criminal wants their entire transaction history public forever.
Bitcoin is NOT the number one payment method for ransomware. That's actually Monero. Fake news. No one called him out.
Noticed an #Amethyst bug. My zaps show up when I look at all the interactions to notes, but the little zap icon doesn't turn yellow.
I used to have a bug where some zaps wouldn't show on Nostr at all and people I zapped confirmed they couldn't see those zaps, so if everyone else is seeing my zaps now this is a definite improvement, basically just a UX bug.
Just giving some troubleshooting info. Would send a PR but I'm shite at Java.
Respect for cooling down and posting this, most people double down on shit.
This is a good community ❤️
Actually agree, too much NSA involvement with NIST curves, we should use Curve25519 or Ed25519 as appropriate, but as per your last rant it is difficult to change without breaking shit at this point 😅
Netflix docs are very hit and miss but I rank Take Your Pills highly. If you're curious about both the historical and contemporary use of amphetamine both medically and recreationally, it keeps you interested and provides a balanced view.
On the other end of the spectrum I watched The Most Hated Man On The Internet recently and that was utter shit. It did not need three hour long episodes. Could have been done in 30 mins and summed up with "he bragged about shit under his real name and 4chan got him" lol.
Finally catching up on notifications and following plebs back 🙂
I've not been ignoring you guys! I get weird bouts of anxiety where I don't check notifications properly. No idea why. Spoke about it on Nests before so I know I'm not the only one at least haha.
You truly do stay humble. Thank you for jumpstarting all this 🙏

So, I mostly code in Python and JavaScript but I'm making an Android app.
I made a little demo app in Dart/Flutter and it works but I always seem to break things when I add features, not as easy to work with as I hoped.
But I'm not a quitter so I'm looking at frameworks like React Native and NativeScript so I can use what I know. I do want the app to work like a real native app though, not just a shitty web wrapper.
Anyone got experience with these? Are they really any good at compiling native Android apps written in JS?
As well as Bitcoin, stonks also pumping. I'm up 138% on MARA and up 180% on AMD and the profits are all tax free - no theft!
Most of my capital is allocated to BTC but I've got crazy returns from a lil diversification too 👌
Just spent 200k sats on dinner, girlfriends are expensive 😂
People don't WANT to believe it, this is the problem. They want to believe that "these people must know what they're doing, right?"
They don't want to face that the emperor is wearing no clothes.
The OG HomePod is legit an AMAZING speaker, the bass especially is amazing. Wish it wasn't so locked down but for the price I paid (£200 used but like new) hands down it is fuckin great man.
