I’m using a @https://silent.link Data.Plus eSIM for the first time. Works great for a Canadian visiting the USA. Highly recommended. No KYC, pay with #bitcoin.

I’ve heard #bitcoin described as boxes, each with a key (or keys) to allow the owner to transfer or repack the contents. I think this analogy is pretty good, but I’d add another critical piece which is location. Imagining Bitcoin as boxes immediately leads one to think of a vault of deposit boxes at a bank. It’s better to think of the boxes as distributed throughout the universe. There are 2^256 (10^77) possible private keys, about the same number as atoms in the universe. It’s amazing to think that one can effectively stash their wealth in the combinatoric equivalent of a single atom in our vast universe.
Thankful for #nostr and #bitcoin. We’ll be here when every legacy platform fails. Come on in. #grownostr

It seems like #ecash is the ideal way to leave an offline bitcoin tip. Already I can print out the token QR and hand it to someone. Ideally, there would be a way to convert the #cashu token ID to something easily readable and writable like a short string of words. I could then mint ecash, print the words on small cards and then pass them out at restaurants, cafes, etc. The tip could even be simply written on the bottom of the bill. I have no technical understanding of how the token ID is derived, so no idea if this is possible. Just putting it out there. @calle
Anyone have experience with Casa, Unchained, (other?) guided multisig solutions? #asknostr
Just received my painting from @🟠 isolabellart paid in sats. Beautiful! Check out his page if you haven’t already. 

I'm loving @noStrudel running on my StartOS server. A great client that allows you to explore the layers of #nostr hidden by other clients.
I want to learn more about and experiment with ecash. Any tips on the best place to start? #asknostr
A new piece on why I left centralized social media and some thoughts on the promise of nostr. https://wiremodal.net/wilsm-2
Experimenting with dumbing my smartphone. #digitalminimalism 

I was in Dubai last week. I can’t help but feel like it’s a city that shouldn’t exist. Amazing that it does though. 

I guess it’s #radioheadfriday here?
