Anyone know why I keep getting this error on @primal when I try to follow someone? It really degrades the useability.

GM!

Does anyone mind if I do 🤘instead of 🤙?

Hello Nostr! I'm making a serious attempt at trying to use Nostr more, and to make it more useful for myself as a social media platform. What is the best way to follow the most high signal accounts the quickest? What about how to filter out the noise? Any other tips generally? I mostly use @primal on desktop if it matters.

Ok I'm giving Nostr another serious try.

Well today is fun. PV Nostrland!

Last week, I asked Nostr (and Twitter) for the best resources about Bitcoin mining's environmental impact. The goal is to use these resources to help orange-pill an environmentally focused friend. I've reviewed everything, and here are some of the best resources🧵👇 First up: the articles. Articles are a great way to convey a specific piece of information while being both informative and including enough detail to get to the nuance. Here are many of the best articles I found on the topic: 1. #[0]'s @#[0] Bitcoin energy piece. This is a comprehensive overview of Bitcoin's energy usage, from Bitcoin's purpose to why proof of work is necessary. Well written and easy to read, this is one of the best articles on the topic. https://www.lynalden.com/bitcoin-energy/ 2. RFI Response: Climate Implications of Digital Assets by Margot Paez and Troy Cross through the Bitcoin Policy Institute. This paper is a response to common FUD, in this case from the US government. It covers the key points and is full of links for further research. https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/627aa615676bdd1d47ec97d4/62f41b9ce54e014f9869efa7_OSTP.docx.pdf 3. Bitcoin: Let's Start from Scratch by #[1] @#[1] A ground up orange pill article directly aimed at the environmental side of things. One of many great articles by Daniel, but he recommends to start with this one and I agree. Check everything out on his website regardless!

4. The Humanitarian and Environmental Case for Bitcoin by Alex Gladstein @#[2] Alex Gladstein has multiple excellent articles from the humanitarian perspective of Bitcoin, and this one covers the environmental side very well too. I suggest reading all of his major pieces, and he has a book coming out that I'm very much looking forward to!

The Humanitarian And Environmental Case For Bitcoin

Bitcoin can reduce aid corruption, help end dependency and bootstrap renewable energy for emerging markets.

5. Bitcoin Mining and the Environment by #[3] @#[3] High level thoughts from #[3] on the topic of Bitcoin mining and the environment. More compact than the others, and includes references from the Bitcoin Mining Council.

6. Bitcoin is a Pioneer Species by #[4] @#[4] Another comprehensive article built around the analogy relating Bitcoin to a pioneer species in ecology. A different angle to approach the topic that I find quite compelling. Next up are the podcast episodes, useful for people who prefer to listen to their content. Here are my favorite podcast episodes on Bitcoin's environmental impact 👇 1. Troy Cross on What Bitcoin Did - his appearances are must listen/watch for information about Bitcoin and the environment. Troy's thesis about Bitcoin and energy is well worth listening to! He's been on the show 4 times, and all are great. https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/troy-cross 2. Shaun Connell on What Bitcoin Did - Shaun appears once alone, and once with Troy Cross - his episodes include valuable information about how #bitcoin energy markets really work. https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/podcast/bitcoin-energy-markets 3. Steve Barbour and Nate Harmon on What Bitcoin Did - The two have a spirited but healthy debate about climate change and Bitcoin's role in it. Good points from all sides and well worth listening to. https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/podcast/a-climate-change-debate 4. Nate has a great episode on his own covering Bitcoin mining in the ocean using OTEC technology, highlighting an innovative use for Bitcoin mining to promote sustainable energy. https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/podcast/bitcoin-unleashing-an-ocean-of-energy 5. Next, many great articles have been read by #[5] @#[5] on Bitcoin Audible including some already mentioned here, and further articles on the topic are also here. You can find the articles from the podcast library and filtering for energy: https://bitcoinaudible.com/library/ I couldn't find #[0]'s energy piece from the library, but here is the Apple Podcasts link:

Finally, I'll end with two upcoming book 📚 recommendations - I can't wait for both to be out, and I know that they both will make a great contribution to the Bitcoin environmental narrative, and addressing the environment specifically. 👇 1. The first book is The Progressive Case for Bitcoin by Jason Maier @#[6] This book will cover common arguments against #Bitcoin by progressives, including the environmental angle. You can hear more from Jason's appearance on What Bitcoin Did: https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/podcast/a-progressives-case-for-bitcoin 2. Finally, Abundance Through Scarcity by Ioni Appelberg Ioni makes wonderful animated videos, many with #[5] and Knut Svanholm, and he will be coming out with this book soon. He has discussed the upcoming book on the Freedom Footprint Show: Bonus: Ioni, Guy, and Knut's video Orange is the New Green is a great video take on the topic! That's a wrap! Thanks everyone who answered the original Note and Tweet! There were so many responses, I haven't included everything here, but you can find even more resources in those conversations. @note1pwyy83ahnh2vkkct9g6yx65szu24zldhgr4l55jwegsrkp34whzs53j4ln

Thanks for reading, I hope this has been helpful!

In the latest episode of the Freedom Footprint Show, Ben de Wall joined Knut Svanholm and BtcPseudoFinn for a thought-provoking, varied conversation. Originally from New Zealand, Ben comes from a software development and coding background. His range of interests and knowledge is impressive and his passion for Bitcoin is long-lasting. A perfect combo for our show! In the episode, Ben and Knut go head to head as we explore the concepts of capitalism, the free market and we delve into the distinction between possession and ownership, the validity of contracts, and intellectual property. We also approach difficult concepts often used against libertarianism - national defense, immigration, and big governments - and we highlight interesting alternatives such as Rojava in Northeastern Syria and Christiania in Copenhagen. The show is out now on Youtube and on all podcast platforms!

PV Nostriches, I need your help! Best research about the environmental effects of Bitcoin mining please! I started the orange pill process of a good friend, and he's hung up on the environmental part. I need reinforcements! What's the best we have these days?
