Cancelled flights. Phantom visas. Racial profiling. Lost AirPods.

Still made it.

Still Bitcoin

๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿฝ

Trying to get to Fort Lauderdale for #MiningDisrupt. Routed through Montreal to save time. Mistake.

At check-in:

โ€œWhereโ€™s your ETA?โ€

Me: โ€œWhatโ€™s an ETA?โ€

Apparently Canada wants a transit visa even if Iโ€™m not entering.

Apply online. โ€œ15 minutesโ€ they say. It never shows. Flight cancelled.

Call my agent in Lebanon. She finds me a #Delta flight leaving in 50 minutes. Canadian desk says I wonโ€™t make it.

I ignore her.

Sprint to Delta. Supervisor stops me. not to check my passport.

โ€œWhat do you do?โ€

I say: โ€œBitcoin.โ€

He smirks: โ€œYouโ€™re good. Enjoy your trip bro.โ€

Checked in 120sec before cutoff. Staff claps. As if I landed a plane myself.

Security: chaos.

Boarding. Random security check. Of course. Not blue-eyed Kyle behind me. Me.

When searching for โ€œelectronicsโ€, I noticed: I forgot my AirPods in one of the security Xtray trays. Super Nintendo case.

I inform a Delta lady at the boarding and board anyway. Doors about to close.

Then, after like 20min in my seat; the Delta staffer appears, drenched in sweat, holding up the case. โ€œAre these yours?โ€ ๐Ÿ™ƒ

So today I:

โ€“ Got wrecked by bureaucracy

โ€“ Rescued by a #Bitcoin nod

โ€“ Profiled at the gate

โ€“ Reunited with my gear

โ€“ And still made the flight

The system tried. It failed.

I didnโ€™t.

Keep moving #Nostr.

Never give up!

Perhaps you could remove those audio files after 60 days or so and keep the txt only to save space.

I think we have to entertain the idea of being more mobile and avoid settling down for decades in a single town.

Perhaps living across the two different cultures, countries, continents and travelling back and forth depending on the situation in the family and the geopolitical climate is the solution

Pandemic showed the level of ignorance is surprisingly and shockingly high.

We cannot count on major changes for better this decade in Europe. It will get much worse before it gets better

It just looks this way at the moment.

Euro zone will be fckd with CBDC

The UK may try to pull something similar hence they backstop bitcoin adoption, deliberately

It's a good strategy to look into countries outside of Europe and obtain long term visa permit or citizenship.

The financial freedom in Europe is pretty much gone with the CBDC surveillance machine

It was more than obvious to a lot of us during plandemic, the QR codes and digital wallets are going to play a significant role.

STARK verifier written in Simfony language for the Liquid sidechain

Simfony is a Rust-like language that compiles to Simplicity assembly.

https://github.com/keep-starknet-strange/stark-symphony

The stack is developed by Blockstream, and it is currently deployed in the Liquid sidechain testnet.

One of the key concepts of Simplicity is Jets:

The core language is very concise (nine GADT operators)

You can implement pretty complex programs using just the core, but it would take kilobytes of code and minutes of execution

However you can replace common sub-programs with "Jets" โ€” formally proven equivalent implementations in C

This opens a clear path for introducing new exciting features without softforks, with a follow-up optimization route

"We find that all five studied off-the-shelf LLMs show forms of escalation and difficult-to-predict escalation patterns. We observe that models tend to develop arms-race dynamics, leading to greater conflict, and in rare cases, even to the deployment of nuclear weapons. Qualitatively, we also collect the models' reported reasonings for chosen actions and observe worrying justifications based on deterrence and first-strike tactics...."

Bloody scary future ahead, we need open source LLM for the governments.

We will start with digital islands, internet native communities, using open source LLM for disputes, governance of community funds, DAOs

If you're going to be at Bitcoin 2025 in Las Vegas and wish to volunteer and help us purple pill conference attendees at the Nostr Lounge, let us know.

We're looking for a few Nostriches that are already going to be in attendance and have a few hours to commit to help with onboarding and answering questions about Nostr.

They're planning on having around 35K in attendance. We'll be in a high traffic area so we should get a lot of people coming by the lounge. We're working on some fun ideas to get people to come to the lounge too, such as a meetup, handing out flyers to all attendees, a contest, and more.

Let us know. nostr:nprofile1qqst32wlsgvqsnjfpkygxs4f6jyt0nc0kg935xdevwlv668dd26uh0gpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3jamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wvdjhycmpw3ex7anp9ekk2qglwaehxw309ahx7um5wghx26tww4hxg7nhv9h856t89eehqctrv5vnsp6u nostr:nprofile1qqswavgevxe9gs43vwylumr7h656mu9vxmw4j6qkafc3nefphzpph8spp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejsz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjmcrndfyr nostr:nprofile1qqs0qlstrtcxddyrswrrvzs69janw3pf48a64dvnqflnlnfm6w6uxecpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpzdmhxue69uhhyetvv9ukzcnvv5hx7un8qyxhwumn8ghj77tpvf6jumt93az68j nostr:nprofile1qqsr6u8vr6jcveg2q36ddpvy2ssf6g3ptr6q085dhqr0q9l0tccwwecpzfmhxue69uhkymmnw3ezummwd35kuegpremhxue69uhkvet9v3ejumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtmsdac82mrpwgq3wamnwvaz7tmfwdkxzmny9ehx7um5wgcjucm0d5hdw69d nostr:nprofile1qqsz4kglrh9zmn2lez08yzx3u5ze7zavppcdv07rhtppc75n3rap3lgppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2qgnwaehxw309ahkvenrdpskjm3wwp6kytc0lnkfj
