Running Knots

Shout out to nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll for StartOS. Lost power yesterday for a few hours. My node (BTC and Lightning) went down in a very ungraceful manner. When I booted up again this morning everything caught up and synced just fine. 🙏

I know this was mostly down to bitcoin-core and lnd but I've had the same situation nuke an Umbrel setup twice so it was a huge relief to also have a clear UI to watch all the logs update and verify things were back to normal.

Umbrel is very very fragile, indeed StartOS seems more solid

I couldn’t have written a better list of reason why not to use Tether :

- Tether stablecoins respect the OFAC / SDN lists.

- Tether has a highly trained internal investigation team that relies on a wide variety of tools, to monitor primary (core platform at tether.to) and secondary markets (blockchains and exchanges).

- Tether’s collaboration with Chainalysis helps our teams to have the best in class software and training for a proactive monitoring activity.

- Tether collaborated, since inception, with 124 law enforcement agencies across 40+ different countries.

- Tether blocked more than $1.3 billion since inception, mostly related to scams, hacks, ML. Approximately $1.6 million is related to terrorist finance.

- Tether collaborated, on a voluntary basis, in 198 requests from law enforcement to block wallets in the last 12 months (90 with US law enforcement), 339 in the last 3 years (158 with US law enforcement).

- Tether blocked more than $639 million working with US law enforcement.

- Tether onboarded the FBI and USSS for reissuances.

- Tether collaborates with Israel’s NBCTF and Ukraine law enforcement.

- Tether cooperates directly with law enforcement agencies, while other stablecoins, although they claim to be “more compliant” they require a judge order, allowing hackers, scammers and criminals a long time to move funds around.

And they wrote the list themselves!

Android Primal APK feels smooth. The occasional crash when something unexpected happens with NWC (can't say what) but other than that, seems like a solid client.

Long time Amethyst fan here.

What other native Clients do you know of or use?

Primal is good, just needs to have Bunker login option to be very good.

Tried Nostros a bit and liked the UI, but it's not as good as Primal or Amethyst.

In amethyst you just need to do a long tap on the zap button in whatever note and you can configure it

Yep, but it does require to break down the copied link etc. Maybe the request is to simply have a paste like in primal

This is my last attempt at selling anything on Nostr.

This video is the less tasty nothingburger that I came across. The fella actually said nothing, but acted as he did.

In Bitcoin Core datacarrier=0 does not work, it seems that it has a bug and they are not very interested in fixing it, very well, Bitcoin Knots will now be my node.

You still have to validate when shitcoining transactions are included in blocks, so I guess there is no **real** difference.

It’s not healthy to always fight a system, it takes a mental toll.

Steps to freedom :

-No media

-Stack sats as much as you can

-Get outside and love it

-Love and share life with likeminded

-Find things that stimulate you to want to learn

🤙

Does #Nostr count as Media?

The narrative will not change.

Self custody options on L2 will be available long before base layer self custody is out of reach. But remember, you have enough wealth/assets you ALWAYS can have a base layer #Bitcoin self custody wallet so it's NEVER impossible. Just have to WORK HARDER to get there. 😳

I do not agree.

Little premix: I use LN everyday and I consider myself pretty savy about it. I like it, i like the business opportunities that it creates, like the UX of good LN products. L2 is not only LN, agreed, but we can only talk about what exists, so I'mm refer to it.

1) If you cannot settle a channel balance onchain, you are not sovraign. If you hold a 100'000 sats UTXO onchain, at fee peak you weren't economically able to spend it without draining more than half of the UTXO in fees. These are truths. The result of it is that in the future 100k sats could be a good amount of money, but maybe fees will be no high that it does not make sense to hold UTXO onchain.

2) The World is made of people that cannot go about their days always thinking about bitcoin and the majority don't even have the opportunity to save enough to buy some sats, I cannot imagine them buying a UTXo and paying fees high as hell. These guys will be relegated to higher layer solutions, without the change to settle onchain.

I'm not advocating for on-chain scaling, don't get me wrong. But the virtue signaling in our industry must take into account reality. Some halfway reality checks would be very very healthy.

Clean, easy to use clients and plenty of good content are the key points for #Nostr adoption.

Some brilliant people are already working on clients, what we need to do is focus on the good #content and make it normie-friendly.

If you would like to see something on Nostr, just write a note and add the hashtag #wannasee, then follow the hastag. We need to contaminate ourselves with ideas, and then act.

I have a go

I #wannasee:

- personal vlogs

- educational content on biology and science

Agreed, I also add one more reason and that is you can't truly own these fiat assets. Someone else has private keys.

Once you know the power of true private ownership, everything else feels like a scam.

How will the narrative of self-custodiality change when (not if) owning a UTXO will be pretty much impossible for plebs?

Just asking

I'm lame just as any normie and kinda cherish my stupidity. It's easier to think like a buyer without larger knowledge. It must be hard for any dev to declutter their language and thinking to reach normies and their level of prioritizing - which is stupid and dumb👀😆. But with buyers come money, client is always right etc etc.🤷🏻‍♀️

Reasonable, we should make something happen to signal what we're willing to see on Nostr.

Hastags? #wannasee

Some kind of chat group?

Dunno

Bearetta 🐻‍❄️🇨🇿

For me you basically described a Telegram group with extra work🤔

You'r right, fair enough

Yes, I too feel bored by it after a year. It's still the same reassuring stuff. We need richer content, more shitposters, more girls sharing some female content. But since I noted women here complaining about being harassed over their girly stuff, Nostriches might be willingly killing their own thing.

Shall we start using the invite-obly relays technique? Let's suppose that I have a relay: I'm willing to accept new pubkeys to use my relay only if they're invited directly by one of my already-subscribed pubkeys. Lets's put a 2 or 3 maximum invites per pubkey.

In this way we would have a relay in which only "known people" hang out, no bots, no fkng harassments.

Just a trash idea maybe, because content discovery would be much restricted.

Vlad, Bitcoin Takeover Podcast

Gm, just woke up from yet another horrible dream.

I was at a Bitcoin conference 15 years after the project’s launch, and everyone was paying for stuff using their credit cards.

“It’s Greaham’s law, you spend the fiat first, earn points from Visa, and only HODL your bitcoins!”, they proudly said while ignoring the simple dynamics of supply and demand.

(they decrease the demand for bitcoin as money, while strengthening the demand for fiat)

Anyway, woke up and I’m happy that I am going to Pizza Day at Paralelni Polis next week 🍕

I agree, we need make sats flow way more into the real economy.

I cannot agree with the supply-demand reasoning: the fiat money acceptance is NOT subject to supply-demand rules...you just HAVE TO accept it, no demand-driven acceptance. By not demanding to spend our sats we simply lower the supply of sats-payable services. No "fiat-supplied services" number is increasing, full stop

The Fishcake (nostr.build)

In all seriousness, where do you see the future of Nostr? So far it would seem that the growth has slowed down and we are just flat. Many apps has been created but only few are maintained and not dead yet. What are we missing here? Did the novelty start wearing off and we are just lacking anything that normal user would see as worth exploring here? 🐶🐾🤔🤔🤔

Nostr needs more non-bitcoin related stuff I guess.

So I have to trust mints? What if all mints runs by years by feds passing by honest people waiting to confiscate all satoshis?

You have to trust mints

Crazy times we are living in that Facebook now actively labels users as terrorists without even a court of law classifying them as such (They don’t do this for sex offenders).

This person might be (if he is, not cool), but why are people ok with being labeled this way and still using the platform?

#grownostr please for God’s sake

Gente reminder that is happens also on messaging platforms like Telegram. Stay safe out there, use Simplex or you XMPP server if you'r willing to put into the work

This guy is getting memed on hard for his ridiculous, entitled post.

Of course he’s the one missing out, and no-one owes him anything.

There is a kernel of truth here though - Bitcoiners suck at framing. You can’t sell anyone on anything if you don’t control the frame.

This is why you can’t argue with leftists - they are always in their own frame and unable to be coaxed out of it. They redefine terms to suit their frame, they’ll contradict themselves in the same sentence even, but so long as they are in their frame you’ll get nowhere and might as well have a conversation with a wall.

Same reason why so few leftists get Bitcoin.

Learn framing and how to wield it.

This is dumb that makes the fella actually comedy genius.

If Bitcoin "iS a ScAm" everyone holding it should be willing to flip it to anyone else willing to pay the price. This is estremely far from the truth.

Again, comedy genius.
