Merry Christmas, happy holidays, pura vida — hope you’ve all been well ✨

Sup nostriches? It’s been a minute. Is anyone in NYC tonight? I think I saw that our friend @nat brunell is doing a book launch at @PUBKEY if I’m not mistaken. Who’s going? I’m hoping to drop by before catching a late train back to MA. #grownostr #plebchain #asknostr

Gorgeous morning 🌄 #coffeechain time (cup number 3)

11:11 good night frens 🫂

Happy Day

Great rip, as usual @ODELL @MartyBent FYI, there are 28 grams in a normal ounce, but #gold (and other precious metals) are measured in “Troy ounces” which contain just over 31 grams of metal. A one-ounce gold coin is about 1.2-1.3 inches in diameter. So yeah, you could fit a bitcoin worth of gold in your pocket 🫡 https://fountain.fm/episode/zUf1GECZxsqmjVpkztET

Question for @Foundation Passport users: That replaceable, rechargeable battery… how long is its lifespan? A certain number of charges? Have any of you had to replace one before? The paranoid bitcoiner in me would wonder if some aftermarket replacement battery could somehow compromise the device… #asknostr

GM 🌇 Started the day with stretching and pull ups. Listening to @Ungovernable Misfits and wondering about something… Could Bitcoin support a feature similar to #Monero ’s full-chain-membership-proofs (to improve privacy on-chain) without significant sacrifices to its decentralization or security?

This is the future, holy fuck 🤯 #grownostr View quoted note →

Wow, I’m loving how Fountain just subtly introduced a “switch to video” option for any podcast that has a video version. Personally I listen far more than watch (on the subway, background at the office, walking in the city, etc.) but an option this seamless might get me to switch, at least when I’m stationary. It’s amazing to see how ubiquitous podcasts have become. I remember when it was a niche, kind of nerdy alternative, somewhere between radio news and an audiobook (or, I’ll date myself, a book-on-tape). Now, anyone (and it seems like almost everyone) with access to modern tech can ingest information this way, ranging from education to entertainment. (The term “content consumption” fits the bill, but I’m feeling curmudgeonly and weary of business buzzwords this morning, lol). Add to this, Nostr and the value-for-value exchange model, and you get a new (user-aligned) incentive model. And with AI, it’s a matter of time until every show can be translated into every language, if we’re not already there. Talk about free information. Speech is “freed” by this, in a way. Freed from geographic and linguistic restraints. This is good for humanity… At least on principle… Onward 🫡 #grownostr #v4v #valueforvalue

Hey @Damus team! I’ve been living under a rock the past few months and just getting up to speed with the new wallet config. Mine appears to still be connected via NWC to my node, but also seems like it’s waiting for me to set up something. Any advice? Seems my zaps don’t go through. Might just try resetting the connection. Stay tuned. #asknostr cc @jb55 @elsat

Wifey was away this weekend, so I binge-watched Zero Day on Netflix. The reference to bitcoin mining in episode 1 was fun. Robert De Niro and the rest of the cast were excellent. Some bits of the narrative seemed a bit forced, but overall it was a very satisfying show. Would recommend 🫡 #grownostr

Why would disabling “make public” (to peers) in Bitcoin Core cause electrs to crash? Getting this warning from @Start9 Shouldn’t it be possible to keep the node “private” but still get inbound data from peers? Or perhaps I don’t understand properly what I’m editing… #asknostr
