It's around when I wake up most days -- gives you some nice hours of quiet before the normies start stirring. #GM !

Another alternative would be to take a page out of the secure scuttlebutt (or Briar) playbook and built a relay system that works on sneakernet, allowing say, hikers on a long trail to maintain their own relays on their phone, make their posts, and then sync up over bluetooth or ad hoc wifi to store and forward.

Not sure this really works with how Nostr relays do things though, but I do sort of like the slow organic roll out of such a network. The biggest downside I see is that we may be a bit late for this, given that at least on the American longtrails, you've generally got enough internet access that at best this would be a quaint curiosity.

Perhaps the most immediately useful thing would be using the "Around Me" feature Amethyst (and some others I believe as well) have, particularly in trail towns to get a feel for the lay of the land. Nostr's a pretty friendly crowd, and while many trail towns are too, it might be helpful to make those connections online, especially in less than ideal weather.

Then there's something that would absolutely blow up if integrated, which is to reach out to Guthook and have him build out the FarOut app as a Nostr client.

Won't be long now til we hit 105.8k gang.

Thanks for the newsletter as always. You're clearly getting zaps on this poast but I'm getting this error from Amethyst...not sure what that's all about. Zaps to others are going through...

'Unable to send zap: Could not fetch invoice from https://primal.net/lnurlp/lyn/callback'

I routinely end up with multi-GB csv's when grabbing a slice of data at work. Excel can handle the first million lines well enough before needing to fire up the data model and power pivot, but even then, SQL is definitely the better tool for the job.

But yes if you're using it where a spreadsheet would do...why you no use spreadsheet?

I mean, there's management fees. They could have made them a eound number but after one period the fees would have broken that parity anyway.

#GM, happy Sunday. Be sure to do something lazy :-)

Also a good way of realizing that some clients are gonna mangle your profile, and teach you the fun of fixing it :-).

Personally I've been getting the most use out of Coracle, Amethyst, Primal, Fountain, and Zap.stream. Am definitely looking forward to cross platform Damus, both for myself, as well as Damus for finally getting to exist on a real computing platform.

Energy costs are up. Same reason energy stocks are up. Also, calling MSTR a hodler is somewhat right, but doesn't address the inherent leverage. You're basically looking at the difference between companies that keep a little bitcoin after they've spent a good chunk of it on electricity and companies that are borrowing fiat hand over fist to buy and hold bitcoin.

Also, don't forget, earlier this year, the block reward was cut in half for the miners. that's not a tiny hit to their bottom line.

Oh I was thinking jag you are. Think I've heard it said this way outta some brits.

No stir.

He's not my Dada, he's Mr. Data.

If I pronounce it Jif it's cuz I'm trolling. Right up there with weefee and leenucks.

And don't worry about the money, everything is fine Nance.

The boys in JAG are in the military which is there in case of war.

And if you're making me a gimlet, you'd better shake it; no stir.

Does Trading Places count as cozy?

A summit registry where you sign your npub and comments? Perhaps with a relay that only accepts connections over something like bluetooth ensuring that you're actually at the summit, but then publishes out to the broader 'net? The networking there could be tough of course...probably need a starlink, solar panels, and something to keep it all waterproof (and preferably, not too covered in snow for the solar panels to be covered). Not the easiest thing, but not impossible. Just not sure how worth it it would be.

Is the phone unlocked? Can you install GrapheneOS on it? Something I'd at least want to know before finding out there were limitations to the hardware...

I don't use a Nostr only account with them, but did run into issues and their support email is actually very responsive and helpful.

Ahh, you said Brooklyn. If you're around NYC awhile it's worth hitting up Pubkey in Greenwich Village -- it's a bitcoiner bar, featured on the most recent episode of nostr: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 's #titcoin podcast.

Seems like you're referring to liquidity shocks brought on by downturns, and the importance of having a fiat emergency fund, much like is suggested to tradfi investors so they're not stuck liquidating amid a bear market.

While this isn't awful advice for someone who doesn't have much savings yet, once you get over the hump (like, realistically one cycle in if you're stacking much), assuming you're not also diversifying to traditional investments, the gains of going to a bitcoin standard rather than holding fiat start to outpace the downside losses of selling when the market's down.

Figuring out your ratio is something everyone needs to do for themselves given expenses and liquidity needs. But when that $50,000 emergency fund is still only worth $55,000 after 4 years, and the bitcoin price meanwhile pulls a 5-10x, people start figuring out ways to live with less fiat. Only natural that many leave it by the wayside once this becomes a realistic option.

There have been a LOT of major moves in UI improvement across all the major clients. Damus is making moves to go cross platform soon, Primal 2.0 came out, Amethyst dropped a major release, and I'm just seeing that Coracle has added a lot more user friendliness with feeds as well.

Also, Bitcoin reaching all time highs doesn't exactly hurt the uptake. Not sure if you've noticed, but a good few of us here are into Bitcoin ;-). And on legacy social platforms, #Bitcoin and #Nostr tend to go hand in hand, so if you're searching for the one, you'll find the other.

Also, they're 1/100th of a bit.
