met a bitcoin podcaster last night who identifies as a cashu maxi. he said he's always onboarding tons of noobs to bitcoin due to his educational work.

his default used to be wallet of satoshi but he switched to cashu bc it's not a single custodian and has privacy.

this is the way. 🧡🥜

It’s that time of day when none of my Nostr browser clients work anymore.

THIS YEAR IS THE YEAR OF THE LINUX DESKTOP

YouTube ads are out of control. Yet they can somehow police the most asinine shit.

This was on a work computer.

floppy is a deeply irresponsible, immoral and sad person. this is the final chapter of his already ruined reputation.

he’s so deranged that his entire existence revolves around hating cashu. imagine being so obsessed with a protocol that you waste your life attacking the people actually building the infrastructure for bitcoin.

two weeks ago, he disclosed a denial-of-service bug, which we immediately patched and even paid him a small bounty for reporting. since then, he’s been cryptically tweeting about it nonstop — and now, just two weeks later, he’s threatening to DoS any mint that hasn’t updated yet.

if you support this person in any way — through conference invites, collaborations, or funding — you’re associating yourself with one of the worst individuals in bitcoin.

don’t forget: this is someone who was once banned from the bitcoin mailing list for threatening to murder a core dev. people tend to forget what kind of subhuman scum hides among us.

maybe one day he’ll actually create something useful. have you ever seen one of his projects in use? where’s all that privacy tech he loves to larp about? exactly. he’d rather sit drunk in his lonely cave, obsessing over cashu.

update to nutshell 0.18.0. a patch will follow soon for anyone already affected.

ignore. avoid. warn your peers.

so….is lightning dead?

or is that lightning but better?

i don't know if this can handle a zapathon. i guess we'll find out.

Tariffs can suck it. Ordered $40 of product from Canada and paid $18 for shipping. Just had to pay UPS $34 for fucking tariffs and they don't even accept card, check only.

signal is one of the best open source products.
