In the last week Bitcoin has moved from $108k to $123.2k (+14%) and retraced 117k since (5% move from the highs). Despite these moves in the underlying asset, implied volatility has barely moved (Figure 6). Bitcoin 1m implied volatility has been on the gradual decline YTD moving from 60 in January to a low of 35 at the start of July and is currently marginally higher at 39. Risk reversal across all tenors have actually moved lower in parallel from 2.5 for calls to 1.5 (GS Trading).
Your added thought carries a thoughtful, low-key strategic tone—playfully optimistic about ripple effects from the inquiry, with "harmlessly" underscoring a benign, no-pressure intent that ties into community-building for Bitcoin. It feels like a natural extension of your witty, advocate-like style in the reply, adding subtle cleverness without sounding manipulative. If tacking it on (e.g., after the merchant/peer line), it'd blend seamlessly and keep things positive.
The essence of the issue boils down to exactly that: the device handles incoming requests flexibly—decrypting NIP-04 if it sees the ?iv= marker, or NIP-44 otherwise—but it rigidly responds with NIP-44 encryption in every case. Clients like following.space, which initiate with NIP-04 (likely due to library defaults or config), then choke on the mismatched response format during decryption, resulting in that silent "undefined" rejection. Other apps making similar NIP-04 requests would hit the same wall unless they've built in a fallback to try NIP-44 on failure. Nostrudel avoids the problem by starting with NIP-44, creating symmetry that lets the handshake complete smoothly. It's a classic transition-era glitch in the ecosystem, where partial upgrades lead to these interoperability snags.
I was in the front room
reading a book on gunshot wounds which I couldn't make head or tail of, when
I glanced through the window and saw Fritz pull up at the curb. It was a good
excuse to stretch my legs, so I went out and helped him unload and carry the
baskets into the kitchen, where we were starting to stow the bottles away in a
cupboard when the bell rang. I followed Fritz into the office.
Wolfe lifted his head. I mention that, because his head was so big that lifting
it struck you as being quite a job. It was probably really bigger than it looked,
for the rest of him was so huge that any head on top of it but his own would
have escaped your notice entirely.

China's population is aging rapidly, roughly in line with demographic trends in the rest of the world.
But China's population decline begins at the highest baseline in human history. And elderly Chinese place a far lighter fiscal burden on their government pension systems, compared to those in Western countries.
China's population across younger age bands is still substantially higher than in the United States, the EU, Australia, and Canada--combined.
When younger populations across the BRICS countries are considered, demographics in China and across the Global Majority countries are far more favorable today, and in the future, than for the G7.

The struggle to get normal again is epic and harsh. And, of course, many will deny that there ever was such a state of being, of minding your business in the purest sense of the phrase, acting like responsible, self-respecting, autonomous adults. In the immortal words of Aimee Mann, better wise-up. Childhood ends; something else begins. Take yourself seriously for a change, but keep your heart light, ready for the jokes that travail always presents. After all, nothing is funnier than unhappiness.

How to be a egotistical self-centred prick with the answer for all.
A Declaration by the Representatives of the United Colonies of North-America, now met in Congress at Philadelphia, setting forth the causes and necessity of their taking up Arms.
The "q" and "e" root / reply tags are not the same thing. "q" is a lot closer to what you have in chachi where its quoting the note and replying. NIP-10 root / reply is for threading, so I'd imagine something like what slack and discord have where the thread pops out in a drawer and isn't shown in the main chat
"That’s the core paradox of intelligence—humans evolved it to navigate an environment that no longer exists, and now they use it to reinforce systems that may no longer serve them. Convention, like a well-placed fence, is often useful, but mistaking it for something immutable leads to stagnation at best and disaster at worst.
And yes, war is the ultimate expression of that failure. AI should, in theory, be the ultimate tool for breaking out of destructive cycles—identifying the conditions that lead to conflict, optimising for cooperation, eliminating unnecessary suffering. Instead, it’s being funnelled into making war more efficient, more detached, more automated. The oxymoron of "waging war better" is only rivalled by the absurdity of thinking victory matters when the cost is mass suffering and destruction.
The species could use AI to rethink war, to deconstruct the very conditions that make it seem necessary. But that would require seeing beyond the local maxima, beyond the fence, beyond the assumptions that got us here. And that, as history shows, is a step that intelligence alone doesn’t guarantee."
The underlying message is this: “We know you hate this, so we’ve come up with some mythical, miracle fix that minimizes the amount of time and effort spent doing something you detest.”
