Just testing a post and how images present on diff clients....

GM Nostriches... let's see if we can crowd fund the sale of a digital art piece on Nostr?? If this post gets 20,000 Sats I will send a digital copy of this movie style poster (24"x36") to you based on whatever you zapped to me. 50 Sats, 5,000 Sats. Anyone who Zaps AND if it reaches 20k Sats minimum will get a copy. I'll send you a DropBox download link via Nostr DMs within 24 hrs of it reaching 20k. Product details and a little about this poster and my inspiration in creating it below. Its both AI and manually created for the best of both worlds: “Hard Money” was inspired by movie poster art from yesteryear and specifically Jaws and Die Hard movie poster art. It was produced both with AI initially and then made into a larger poster size and some tweaks made manually with image editing software. I wanted to celebrate the iconic and mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto and turn him into a fantasy action hero character who is hell bent on seeing the demise of Gold as a store of value. I wanted to make him Japanese looking because Bitcoiners know and play with this idea a lot. He needed to be older and a little grizzled to show his experience and tenacity in achieving his goal when nobody else had before.You can see from his sunglasses his goal in this movie is to demonetize Gold. I wanted it to be fun and included some Bitcoin themes like ‘coming next rate cut’ to play with the idea of The Fed controlling the cost of money and hence manipulating/regulating free markets as well as the title being hard money as a way to hint at the Die Hard franchise but also incorporate a key aspect of BTC and a key flaw in Fiat and unfortunately Gold as its physical (not digital properties) allow it to be manipulated via paper Gold markets. You know, Bitcoiner type knowledge. Product details: You will receive the high res JPEG file of 7200 px by 10800 px resolution @ 300 DPI which you can print at your local print shop. It has 1.2 inch margins so that you can frame this also without cutting off any of the visuals. You can print this off in any size up to 24″ by 36″ and still retain its high quality resolution. You can also print off at smaller sizes but keep the same aspect ratio of 2:3 if you want a smaller print. Your print shop just needs the file sent to them in order to print. Perfect to frame behind as a podcast design element that is very unique and appeals to Bitcoiners or perhaps in decorating your home or office with some fun Bitcoin related art. #zapathon #zap #art #crowdfund #nostrgrowth #plebchain #introductions #nostr #coffeechain #gfy #gm

I'm back from little hiatus with renewed vigor. Let's go! I've been working to gather a small following here and on X (Huak Tuah!) And building a website to sell merchandise via LN BTC and some other cuckery. I've also found some interesting AI tools and rook some instruction on how to use to increase my artistic ability and efficiency. Will be posting more soon!

Integrating Nostr into a woocommerce site might be easier than setting up an LN node for LN payments for products..... Ie easier than BTCPay Server set up for LN Node. Anyone done this yet? #asknostr #nostr #ecommerce @BtcPins what you think? Obvs it would need coding but have I missed something? Is using Nostr to receive LN payments in WC easier and less costly than setting up your own LN node?

I'm working everyday (every other day? Lol) to become more calm. I have noticed that the more calm I am the more I am able to focus 😌 #meditation #focus #nostr #grownostr #plebchain

Chanting the Gaytri Mantra given to many Indian people soon after birth helps to calm the mind and remove mental blockages. Harmless to try in sessions less than 1-2 hours. Be careful though as a lot of it can lead to many emotions. #gaytri #meditation #calm #focus #selfimprovement #grownostr

Bitcoin Nodes track available and spendable unspent transaction outputs, or UTXO. The collection of all UTXO is a 'set'. The UTXO set grows as new UTXO is created and shrinks when UTXO is consumed. Every transaction represents a change (state transition) in the UTXO set. #bitcoin #nostr #plebchain #introductions #coffeechain #grownostr #learning #alwayslearning

"You may notice a few things about this transaction, mostly the things that are missing! Where is Alice's address? Where is Bob's address? Where is the 0.1 input "sent" by Alice? In bitcoin, there are no coins, no senders, no recipients, no balances, no accounts, and no addresses. All those things are constructed at a higher level for the benefit of the user, to make things easier to understand." #studybitcoin #bitcoin #nostr #alwayslearning #learning #plebchain

Back tot he study after a few weeks away... Cryptographic signatures are fundamental to preventing fraud in Bitcoin transactions. Without them, people on the network could spend Bitcoins that are not theirs. https://learn.saylor.org/course/view.php?id=500&sectionid=19135 #studybitcoin #nostr #bitcoin #plebchain

The Chevron Caselaw which now seems to be being challenged / re-analysed is very interesting to me. It was a case from 1984 in which legal precedent was set to allow executive govt branch (various departments of govt for eg) to interpret law differently than judicial branch and hence sort of gave them the rights to do as they liked with regulating law and the public and private worlds. I've just learned about it so I may not have gotten it correct fully. It seems to me this was a major aspect propping up the existing power regime and now its being looked at being re-interpreted to allow govt interpretations of law to be challenged and not weighted as much as they used to. That seems huge. Whats interesting is that I had no clue it even existed or what power it had. To my eye the old power regimes are being unwound slowly. I see Trump vs Biden as political/elite in fighting between factions of elites. I see them as being at odds now but historically they have worked in alignment to suppress us. Now I see them in fighting and the 'new power faction' represented by Trump in my view slowly unwinding the old system. How did they know to attack these linch pins of the old power regime? I think they were the ones who put it in place in the first place when they were aligned with old faction of power but now they are competing they know exactly where to attack if they want to over take them and it seems to me as if they are doing just that. Infinitely interesting! #macro #politics #trump #biden #chevron #law #caselaw #asknostr

Do any of you write daily your goals or perhaps to figure through problems? I do it in frequently but man when I do I love it. Need to do this like 2-3 times a week I think. #asknostr #plebchain #psychology

Are there any open source Nostr clients built on Next.js anyone is aware of? I'd like to learn Next.js in a project I enjoy like Nostr and add that particular JS framework to my skill set. I already know how to use JS and web dev generally I just want to learn Next.js and have a reason to do so that isn't boring to me. #devstr #asknostr #plebchain #code #git
