Transaction fees RN. I've got some channel maintenance, consolidations and transfers, so bring it on! https://image.nostr.build/798a6f0b8fc5fb55ccb2a64270aa7f672b816a6eb53d4b5cb6f8619e487794da.gif#m=image%2Fgif&dim=360x202&alt=It%27s+about+to+go+down&blurhash=i35Ed9-U4%3AE*9FrC%7ECNHE2-pMxMx-%3BV%40ni%3FHV%40IoE1NGxZ%24*xuS%24NHn%24s9D%25%25M%25MD%25t7t7D%25t7xu9G%25M-pDixutRD%25xu%25L&x=360eb54343cd67cf1b921eef6503c23ed975505d84fd4e4452c587d334b30426

When will ChatGPT or other LLMs be integrated into video games? Imagine game creators seeding NPCs with a personality and in-game information and you, the player, get to converse with them in a realistic chat to obtain the info. Now, layer in an AI model of an actor's voice synthesized for you and suddenly NPCs feel a lot less like cardboard. Can modern gaming rigs even handle that?

Mempools are getting crowded again and fees are on the rise. And like clockwork my lightning node is popping off as bitcoin users bypass higher transaction fees. Almost like its supposed to work that way. LFG.

After using @SeedSigner for the last couple of months, I'm convinced it's the best way to secure your bitcoin. Why? It's trustless, like the ethos of Bitcoin. You're using off-the-shelf hardware, the code is open source, keys can (and should) be generated offline and the device isn't even storing your them! Keys are stored in a QR code and should be backed up to something physical (stainless steel, etc). A passphrase is crucial. It provides the final level of protection from various forms of attack. No need to twist yourself in knots and trust secure elements, closed-source code, kill-switch PINs, etc. After using a Trezor One for years, I'm convinced SeedSigner is the way.

I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that I just discovered FreeTube. It's a desktop YouTube front end for increasing privacy (Goog tracking) and removing Ads. I've been using NewPipe on mobile for some time already. Check it out if and don't look back. It's open source and excellent freedom tech. Export your subscriptions from YouTube and import into FreeTube and presto! you're in business. =)

Robert Kiyosaki is directionally correct and I respect the guy a ton. "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" was formative in my financial thinking. But he's so terribly wrong on his timing and targets that I don't know why anyone listens anymore.

Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki says bitcoin is on its way to $135,000 while gold will soon break through $2,100 and then take off.

I fully expect to see a large pump before the announcement of an ETF approval as insiders get the chance to pump their bags. So if you see a random and large green candle you'll know what's about to drop as the corrupt fiat system rewards its own.
