Bridging AI & Nostr 🧩
@npub1p4kg...cxf8 & @DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞 discuss AI orchestration, MCP, and how #nostr principles apply.
Is AI moving toward more modular, open interoperability? Full discussion in BR092.
👉 Own Your Distribution 👈
Platforms like Substack & Medium learned the hard way—your traffic isn’t yours if it relies on centralized platforms.
On #nostr, your identity & content are truly yours.
@DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞 on the shift to uncensorable publishing. [BR084]
M17: A decentralized, low-bandwidth comms network.
📡 Voice & text over radio
🔒 Encrypted messaging
📜 Bitcoin block headers over distance
🚀 Chinese hardware integration happening NOW
@DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞 breaks down the spook-resistant tech with @npub1p4kg...cxf8 in BR092.
Curation feeds on Nostr?
Highlighter already lets you create curated lists of articles & notes. But what if you could combine multiple curations into a feed—powered by people you trust, not algorithms?
@miljan sees this model thriving on nostr. [BR084]
Want to hold your own keys? Start small. 🏁
✔️ Learn how to create a seed.
✔️ Send & receive sats.
✔️ Restore from backup.
Like driving, you don’t start on the highway. Learn before you leap.
@DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞 & @npub1p4kg...cxf8 discuss the gradual approach to #bitcoin self-custody.
Are we building #Bitcoin tools for the right future?
@DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞 challenges wallet design:
📌 Base layer will be out of reach for normies.
📌 True self-custody demands seed phrase understanding.
📌 Recovery involving vendor lock-in is a risk
Full conversation w/ @npub1p4kg...cxf8 in BR092.
AI is reshaping how we approach research. ⚡
Complex data analysis, rapid insights, and automated problem-solving—AI is making it easier than ever to explore big questions.
@DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞 & @npub1p4kg...cxf8 discuss the shift in BR092.
Spectrum gaps led to Wi-Fi. Now, they're fueling the next wave of permissionless communication.
MeshTastic, GMRS, and M17 encryption are making off-grid, unregulated networks a reality.
@DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞 & @npub1p4kg...cxf8 share their thoughts in BR092.
Private DMs on nostr aren’t just for chatting—they could replace push notifications, coordination channels & even Telegram groups. 📩
@DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞 & @npub1p4kg...cxf8 discuss Jeff G’s work on MLS messaging & its impact in BR092.
DeepSeek delivers great results, but at what cost? 💰
@DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞 & @npub1p4kg...cxf8 discuss the trade-offs in local AI models. Can self-hosting ever be viable, or is renting GPUs the only sane option? [BR092]
The heat is off, for now. Will Bitcoiners use this time to build?
@DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞 & @npub1p4kg...cxf8 discuss how the biggest risk of a ‘friendly’ regime is development of #Bitcoin & privacy tools stagnating.
There's only one solution - keep building! [BR092]
Bringing TOR to Rust apps 🧅
@npub1p4kg...cxf8 shares with @DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞 how Harbor is integrating TOR, leveraging Fedimint’s built-in support & Rust libraries. [BR092]
AI-based recognition apps are everywhere—but how well do they actually work?
@DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞 and @npub1p4kg...cxf8 discuss the surprising value of these tools, their limitations, and why AI-powered "personal burgers" may be the future in BR092.
Losing Electrum in Tails OS means fewer secure recovery options for #Bitcoin users. The fix?
🛠️ Get Sparrow added to Debian
🚧 Overcome resistance from maintainers
@DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞 & @npub1p4kg...cxf8 brainstorm solutions in BR092.
AI coding tools - "just good enough to be dangerous."
@DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞 & @npub1p4kg...cxf8 discuss how AI impacts dev workflows, where it shines, and where it just adds more work.
Listen in BR092.
🚨 DeepSeek exposed over a million plaintext chat records – a clear reminder of the hidden dangers in unmonitored data collection.
@DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞 and @npub1p4kg...cxf8 discuss the poor state of data privacy in BR092.
Ever wondered how many outputs a single #Bitcoin transaction can have?
The answer: It’s size-based.
The largest real-world tx had 13,107 outputs at 400 KB, but SegWit allows up to 32,256.
@DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞 & @npub1p4kg...cxf8 break down the limits of tx sizes in BR092.
Software is fluid. Hardware is unforgiving.
That’s why products like cars & microwaves resisted software updates (until now!)
@DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞 & @npub1p4kg...cxf8 explore the hidden tension in software vs. hardware thinking in BR092.
