my controversial view: bitcoin only wins when it serves use-cases you have to pay in bitcoin not use-cases where you want to pay in bitcoin

I made a simple snake game with an AI opponent. I tried to add bitcoin payments, but the Gemini Canvas doesn’t have a backend. Cursor (and Windsurf) can use Gemini 2.5 Pro, but at least in Cursor this appears to be rate limited and continually failed when I tried today. maybe tomorrow?

I just vibe coded this little game… anyone remember subspace? you can play a little prototype I made with an AI opponent (intentionally moderately skilled so it doesn’t totally crush your spirit 😅) I want to make this lightning powered. maybe tomorrow if things go well? https://g.co/gemini/share/e06597252101

I successfully “vibe coded” my first nostr app it’s a very simple app, but it works end to end doing the following: 1. create a new identity (npub/nsec) 2. accept a custom message from the user of the app 3. connect to a dozen or more relays (and show connection status/logging for debugging) 4. sign the message input into the app and publish it to all relays it successfully connects to the newly created identity and message I wrote with the app is the original note shown below View quoted note →

if I create a new nostr account and sign and publish a new message out to several well-known relays (e.g., relay.damus.io and others) how long would I expect it to take to be able to find with the search feature of Coracle or Iris? is there a better tool to use to very quickly find messages from newly created accounts that might not be “warmed up” with many relays/apps yet?

anyone successfully vibe code nostr relay connections with Replit Agent V2? it kinda looks like it’s doing the right thing, but it has not been able to successfully make connections. I’ve reprompted it several times, but haven’t gotten it to work yet. if you’ve done this I’d love to hear the prompts that work for you or other hints I might give it to connect properly

we are all “actual artists” regardless of the tools we choose to use

@Max @moneyball and I are getting started with our Presidio Bitcoin Jam livestream starting in about 10 minutes. we cover what we’ve learned about bitcoin/nostr/AI this week.. topics to include future value of coding and how it could give rise to a ton of creativity in lighting and nostr @zap.stream and nostr native stuff coming soon, but for now we’re on YT: https://youtube.com/@presidiobitcoin

big, if true

is there a positive correlation between social status and information quality?

concern yourself with the total understanding of mankind

has anyone brainstormed/whiteboarded/designed how a system like nostr relays might be able to be used to confirm stablecoin transactions? stablecoins have a lot of utility for a lot of people (even if you or I might not use them much ourselves). I’d like to see a system where nostr-like relay operators get paid bitcoin for storing/publishing stablecoin transactions

has anyone successfully “vibe coded” their way to a lightning app with Replit Agent, Cursor/Caude/Grok or any other AI coding tools? i think if we can show how simple it is to get started, we could inspire a ton of new ideas to come to life
