I went to a Fly Fishing Show today. California Trout, an extraordinary conservation non-profit was there and I made them a challenge. I always donate $100 every year at this show. I promised them that if they accept #bitcoin next year, I’ll donate $200 in bitcoin. They seemed open to it.
#remindme 1 year. Let’s see if they come through.
nostr:npub164q45vfa8prpl7f63stsl9qm9n22v6julkasjdqxjc8kevchsj0sp42rl3 it’s time to orange-pill eco-conservancy orgs!
Also, it’s obviously not the ONLY consideration, but it’s important.
If I have a good friend, he might be my best friend in the world, we know each other personally and hang out regularly IRL.
I might trust him with my life in some situations, but if he’s a dumbass with technology, eg:
— Uses the same password for everything.
— Leaves his phone unlocked.
— I’m always getting phishing emails from his address because he keeps getting pwned.
Then there’s NO WAY I’m adding him to my digital web of trust.
Sometimes you can tell by the services they use, attitudes they have towards privacy and security, what they choose to post on social media, or even what they choose to share with you in private.
They need to have good #OpSec practices. If their accounts or equipment can be easily compromised, it’s hard to trust them in the digital realm.
Can’t wait to hear about them! If I ever have an excuse to be out your way, I’d love to stay in your yurt.
Duh. Seattle, of course!
I finally got a chance to listen to this podcast episode with my buddy nostr:npub16k4wup6jvmzn8fxgj28e3d603zqf5au5j8e2je67vf0gt4kvkh5qzgafa9. Sooooo cool!
Once people start changing their mindset, we’re going to find more and more opportunities to use miners to generate heat instead of traditional resistive heating elements.
He talks about using miners for a hot water heater, baseboard heater, hot tub, and swimming pool. nostr:npub1f5pre6wl6ad87vr4hr5wppqq30sh58m4p33mthnjreh03qadcajs7gwt3z has talked about his produce dehydrator and clothes dryer. I know people are already heating greenhouses with miners. I’m also thinking about breweries that need a constant supply of 170F water.
What else can you think of? nostr:note1tesvh6ads9quezgxvnmkmlkzetsflkpwj708dq2k20t38nrlnsxq97vy5z
Zapping you using the newest Damus seems to work for me. I’m using Strike though.
Absolutely nostr:npub1lvfkd274unyj4z54q7gmcuk4r00zjx5r24wt933f4yh7m4uqdzkqnmukxq can get in - I was just too busy last night to get at it but next Thursday we gotta open #thecasine back up!
I may have spoken too soon. I can’t start next week. Maybe the following Thursday.
100% cranberry juice.
Worth every sat!

"Under a Bitcoin standard, earning bitcoin today will generally require less work than earning the equivalent amount of bitcoin in the future. Said another way, for the same amount of work you will earn less bitcoin in the future. This will emphasize the opportunity cost of foregoing bitcoin today for the prospect of bitcoin tomorrow (which will be harder to earn). When the objective is to accumulate as much of the 21 million fixed supply as possible, this will become a forcing function on a company's mindset for evaluating investments in growth."

I don’t think that’s necessarily true. Bitcoin is only “deflationary” because the total value of “The Economy” tends to increase while the monetary supply is fixed.
That means the average skill set, and therefore value, of each employee also increases at the same rate of The Economy. It follows then, the standard would be that everybody keeps their same salary because their value has likewise increased at the same rate.
Of course, some employees may become even more valuable (at a rate above The Economy) and should ask for a raise. And some people may not increase in value quite as fast, or not at all, or maybe become less valuable. And they may have to deal with a pay cut or, at worst, layoffs.
So, in the future, earning bitcoin will take, on average, the same amount of any given employee’s effort as they did before, but they will be more productive and generate more value for their employer and the world.
This is the way an economy SHOULD work.
Because Kansas doesn’t have an NFL team, and Detroit isn’t playing in the SB.
But, really, it’s what nostr:npub17eruj45dp9vkuv3lm5q5fw8z7dd27hd2g0u7kkd4qt5emy85xees20kl63 said. It’s determined years in advance in order to have a “neutral” field. Cities bid for it, like the Olympics.
Super Bowl, baby! Super Bowl! #Niners are going to the Super Bowl!
#49ers! #49ers!
The biggest benefit of nostr - that you can bring your follower graph to a new app - is massively constrained because people are hesitant to put in their nsec.
On web the browser extensions like Alby help with this but it still adds so much friction to onboarding when you’re essentially asking people to signup to 2 separate services, and on mobile these extensions don’t work.
The oauth like nsecbunker signup / login flow that nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft has been working on seems like it can solve this problem - but we need more examples that work seamlessly with good ux.
“Login with Nostr” needs to be as seamless as “Login with Apple / Google” on both web and mobile.
My extension, nostr:npub1tnpfz60snm7ler8k8c69335n37we6690qttl88t556yzkjxhahjq3kkkpe , doesn’t even seem work on PWAs. Maybe I’m doing it wrong.
Does that include the inefficiency of simply transmitting it long distances over power lines? There’s a lot of loss in that process. I wouldn’t necessarily call that “stranded”, but it does show a mismatch of supply and demand between the location it’s created and the location it’s needed.
