Meanwhile, HTS can't be bothered to take back the Golan Heights, because like most Salafi terrorist groups, they're on the payroll of western backed intelligence forces and are part of the same Zionist crime syndicate.

The song he was doing in that gif was called 'where is thumbkin?' Thumb is thumbkin, index is pointer, middle finger is tallman.

Hey, it's tallman!

Be careful though; it has a similar risk profile to using shitcoins.

You don't need 8 habits to be unrecognizeable by June. Just banging some krokodil a few times a day alone will do it just fine.

Only if you look at the Abrahamic religions.

There's some good reason for it, though it's perhaps important to remember that it is born out of an eschewing of material possessions in the first place. It'd also be sinful to lend out money in such a way that puts your dependents without their needs being met. Presumably, the prohibition on interest is also a way to significantly decrease the extension of credit in the first place, as it becomes completely disincentivized. Financing becomes equity based, rather than based around the collection of interest. The financier takes on the same risks the one they're financing faces in business, rather than standing on the sidelines demanding interest, whether or not the endeavor being financed succeeds.

For a good look at how this functions among communities that actually adhere to it seriously, which isn't even most Muslims especially in the modern fiat world, it's worth checking out how Sharia banking works.

nostr:nprofile1qqsyx708d0a8d2qt3ku75avjz8vshvlx0v3q97ygpnz0tllzqegxrtgkklh5m has discussed the goals of the ban on interest in terms of being a method to encourage a lower time preference. Pegging the time value of money at zero can be seen as a refusal to require that more money than was initially started with be brought into the system. If we zoom out from the microeconomic realities of interest bearing loans, it does make sense that one can't have the widespread charging of interest without necessarily creating a situation in which there will be defaults, either outright, or in the form of inflation. Furthermore, if you're lending money understanding the risk of this default risk, it may brush up against prohibitions on gambling, also found in said religions.

It's hard to argue that money doesn't have a time value though. If I have the money and can spend it today, I can buy seed, to plant crops, which I can then sell, and have more than I started with. Whereas if I lend that money out for a year, I necessarily give up that potential profit stream. However, if nobody is expanding broad money with credit, the money in a year should buy more than it does today, thanks to deflation and the collective increase in real goods and services through productive economic endeavors. Thus, on a sound money standard, that time value is something that can be recognized without the charging of interest. And you might even see the extension of credit without interest as doing your part to drive down the costs of goods and services, and thus, drive up the value of money, so in a way, your time value is being adequately compensated.

With widespread use of interest and fiat money, it's sort of hard to get there. I won't proscribe a course of action as it's far from my place to do so, but this is how I see the matter of interest, and why prohibitions on it do exist in various traditions. One needn't simply go with the "because the book says so" rationale.

#GM plebs. Happy #ProofOfKeys day and genesis block day. Also, reminder that 16 years ago today, the #Zionist regime was also carrying out its illegal campaign of ethnic cleansing. Fix the money, end the #genocide, #FreePalestine .

This is tame compared to nostr:nprofile1qqst7gmku9a6fmpxn5g0ejvk536xk3g322lfqv06frn5257au4fxhnspwc8g5 inciting full blown war with every Italian on the planet on Twitter earlier today...

Someone check what's in their water. Or Miller.

I like to yodel while I hodl. Shake a Martini? No, stir.

Sometimes I think people are sharing knots and other stuff transmitted by relays.

It's all fun and games until someone sins and is condemned to an eternity of hellfire.

I wish I'd known about the safe harbor before I took my boat into the dangerous harbor and lost all my BTC...

There's also always trezorctl, if trezor's your cup of tea. I don't recommend it, but it's a free market.

I think it's called "bitcoin-cli".

That said, electrum has a command line and ncurses interface. https://electrum.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cmdline.html

All it took was getting the normies to give up on desktops altogether.

And they're already using Linux/Unix on their phones anyway.

Grilled? Probably the chicken. I am a sucker for a slow roasted lamb leg topped with cabrales cheese sauce though. Having to pick only one meat to put in one's mouth is one of life's great cruelties.

She never claimed it to be otherwise ;-).

Especially after all the holiday cookies and eggnog.

#GM fellow plebs, Happy 2025! Looking a little deeper into home #bitcoinmining, given how much I've been hearing about blockchain spam, and the state of #mining pools these days, particularly on the publicly traded side. Coming to the realization that running #knots on my #node is great and all but doesn't actually impact what ends up in the final blocks unless really nearly everyone is using it (please do, if only to avoid bogging down your own hardware with #ordinals, #runes, and other spam). Looks like with my $0.25/kwh power costs, I'd be spending about $2.70 a month to bring in 1,560 or so sats with a #bitaxe Gamma at current difficulty, which seems like while I'd of course be better off just buying the sats from a purely monetary standpoint, it's also not pure charity given that a simple 2x price move would put me just about in the black, at least in terms of the power costs for sats mined. This is all calculated a bit roughly looking at the 2% fee for #oceanpool and of course not incorporating any difficulty adjustment factors. Still, for a preliminary look, it's not looking to be as much throwing money into a fire as i was expecting for some #Bitcoin home mining. Anyone got any tips on factors I'm leaving out, or information that might persuade me or dissuade me from further looking into mining at home? #asknostr

Same on all counts. Not going anywhere, but it would be nice for it to stop forgetting that I already listened to that last 25 minutes of whatever podcast I'm listening to.

Though sometimes with the more technical bitcoin podcasts it's helpful to hear a second time anyway, especially when we start talking about OP_codes...

Underrated advice if sleep is your goal.

Also, maybe don't sleep in bed with a dog that likes to kick you in the face.
