“Strike’s Bitcoin”, huh? I guess you’re the new CEO of Bitcoin. Congrats!

Right now there are almost no algorithms. So there’s not really anything to game. Eventually there will be so many different algorithms that it’ll be impossible to game all, or even most of them at once. In the end the effect is the same lack of reward.

It’s working as designed.

It was odd to me because I couldn’t fathom why movie theaters would even be open. I mean, who goes to the movies on Christmas? Well, apparently it’s one of their busiest days of the year and it was an all-hands day. (Except for the manager’s nephew. He got the day off.)

Nope. They tried to make it look like it was “mutual” and they made me sign some paperwork that I didn’t read.

I was 17 and my (very Christian) mother was furious. She called a lawyer who sent them a series of threatening letters.

They “settled” by sending me three months wages. I thought that was pretty cool.

Movie theater concession stand.

I learned that it’s okay to stick to my principles.

They fired me because I wouldn’t work on Christmas Day.

Got my little backyard garden planted. It’s not much, but it’s mine.

Wouldn’t it be awesome if the halving block is entirely empty?

Imitation crab is (usually) Alaskan Pollock, plus other stuff to make it stick together and taste a little more like crab. So yes, I imagine it’s wild caught.

Do you make cheese? Sheep’s milk feta cheese is to die for.

I think that’s true, but I wonder how much of it is due to the fact that Nostr still just a small community of people who largely really care about #freedomtech.

What will Nostr look like when the rest of the 8 billion people join?

If you’re referring to SF Bay Area, then I guess I’m Bay Area Adjacent.

Also nostr:npub1jdyaqyngdj4tgmmtlm7j7npkr3fwzjcumcwdqf68dc9wd5lf39rqwlfwsu, nostr:npub1v00qwuktah8y7kfrz678kqcl3vklhhr43atvf7ee4zx9h7kwkpuquuh7fp , nostr:npub1kuy0wwf0tzzqvgfv8zpw0vaupkds3430jhapwrgfjyn7ecnhpe0qj9kdj8 , and nostr:npub18lzls4f6h46n43revlzvg6x06z8geww7uudhncfdttdtypduqnfsagugm3 are in the general area.

Maybe it’s time for another meetup?

Not exactly. Food has an incremental cost. Not only in raw materials but also time to prepare and serve.

The idea with #v4v digital content is that it scales. The incremental cost of each copy is essentially zero.

You hope that enough people zap you that it makes it worth your while. And/or enough people appreciate it that it makes it worth your while, even though appreciation doesn’t pay the bills.

Cock-a-doodle-stew?

Does the estimated time on the top of the screen show as local timezone? Or is it UTC?

Pls explain?

Clearly you do not have teenagers and their visiting friends.

+1 for Toastmasters. I haven’t done it myself, but I know people who did. Great organization.

Oh I see, I can select lnurl. Well, Strike doesn’t like that either. Sigh. I guess Zaps it is!

I’d still like to get confirmation from nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f . Ya know, don’t trust, verify.

I guess I missed it. I only saw on-chain on their web site.

nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f can I donate via lightning? Maybe just send a zap? Is that an actual donation? Does a zap go to “operational” or “general” fund?
