Had the privilege of having a beer, paid for with lightning, at pubkey in NYC with #[2]​ and #[1]​. And to top it off, I got to meet the man behind #[3]​. You are doing amazing work keep it going. Never would have had this opportunity without #nostr. I’ve said this before, but lightning is #bitcoin ‘s killer app, and #nostr is Lightning’s killer app. View quoted note →
Has #nostrbookclub read this yet? Needed a book for my flight and stumbled across it. The author Mervyn King was head of the Bank of England from 2003-2013 and witnessed the 2008 financial collapse first hand. Even in the first chapter he describes what we have been witnessing today. Central banks were stuck on a zero/negative interest rate policy to try and make up for the fact that growth was dead after the 2008 collapse. There’s no way to continue with high interest rates without collapsing the system. image
Ethereum suffered from a technical issue on Friday that caused the network to stop finalizing blocks for over an hour. The chain experienced the same issue Thursday, when finality paused for roughly 25 minutes. The incident – the cause of which remains a matter of speculation – sparked major security concerns. "The second wave is over, but I fully expect a third," Superphiz.eth tweeted after today's incident, advising the validators that operate the network to "Increase your hardware spec if you can, switch to a minority client if you can. Apply patches when they're available." "But really don't worry too much," he added. "As bad as this looks, the chain keeps going and eventually finalizes." image
