Tomorrow I have a fireside chat with @slush at @ChainCampCZ. I have made my notes in a beautiful presentation format that I will see on my phone. And you will never know how it looks. Slides for myself! 🍄 Have you ever done something like that? :)

Pre Bitcoin Alza som spísal článok o peňaženkách Trezor. Absencia článku o prvej HW peňaženke nebola zámerom, iba to doteraz nikto nenapísal, tak som to napravil. Snáď sa dozviete, čo ste nevedeli, pretože Trezor toho vie oveľa viac ako si mnohí ľudia myslia.

This year's HCPP (the last one in a sense) was pretty special for me. As probably the only conference fully dedicated to cryptoanarchy it was always my favorite. This year it was mostly about personal connections for me. I feel that over past few years, people have been running around the world and trying things and they came to tell us about their experience and results. In the hallways, but also talks. First few years were visions, last few were experiences and lessons learnt. But it also gave me something more. I used to get this at CCC. This knowledge of what is important, what is going on and what we are doing. I became disconnected with the main CCC ideology, which is also very political, not very cypherpunk. It turned from "we write code and hack" more "we have to speak up and lobby the european commission". I've just realized that I got the same feeling from hcpp that I used to get from CCC. I love CCC for other things.

Welcome @Lizz Nakamoto - Anon Innovator to Nostr. She is a shared identity that can be used by people who want to share cool Cypherpunk projects anonymously. Usually, this is quite a big problem, because if you want to share open source code and want to stay anonymous, you can't use your existing social network. The password to posting is going to be shared widely among devs. If you are a free software and cypherpunk author (even if not anon), ask for password and spread it wisely. We want the anonymity set to grow, plus it's not defined, it's just the knowledge of a password. So it can't be really pinpointed who knows it. On the other hand, there is a password, otherwise the account would be just taken over by spammers, reducing usefulness. Lizz is accessible through Nostr (give her a follow) and you can also access her website for people who are not Nostr enabled yet. Through the web you can also easily post, the Nostr private key is derived from the password in JavaScript.

I am not very impressed by the expensive stuff. When a wine seller tells me they have a bottle of wine they are selling for $10k, all it tells me is that someone has written a price tag. I might sell my toenail for $10k, but that would not impress anyone, even if it's not possible to get it cheaper. Luxury spending does not even work these days. You can rent things, you can borrow money to spend on something you can't afford, just to impressive. What is impressive are great things for good price. Outstanding quality delivered despite limited resources. It's much harder to evaluate though. When someone shows me expensive watches, I'm gonna ask if they can at least sign nostr events on it. Or if it just shows time like my phone.

Let's talk about value4value. I listen to and get value from many podcasts. I'm ruthless and stop listening if they are boring. So when I listen, they are valuable to me. And it does not always mean mind-blowing tech stuff, it can be people who get high and play music. We have this space age technology where we can stream money, directly to producers of content we value. And then we send them two cents. I have produced more than a hundred episodes. Many of them have changed lives, literally. My total earn from all value4value was around 35$ - streamed sats and boosts. I don't have sponsors, even though I sometimes promote my own projects. Just the cost to produce one of these is 200$ or more (at least in my time, sometimes I rent a room / studio, although I'm pretty DIY). The cameras and microphones are not free either. Neither is server hosting (I self host, no cloud services, I run my own node). I am not complaining though. I'm part of the problem. I did not change the default in the app - 10 sats per minute is ridiculous. I changed my setting to 200 sats per minute to start with. 7 dollars per hour makes sense to me. It's cheaper than the tip I leave for a dinner. But if you have a few listeners that set it up, it might even pay for the production cost. Your situation might be different. But let's use this space age technology for real, not as a proof of concept to send pennies. Thanks to @bitpunk.fm is typing for making me see this clearly. Repost if you do the same. You don't have to do 200 sats/min. Do whatever feels right. It's probably not the default. #v4v #value4value #podcasting2.0

if there was a championship of regulatory arbitrage, I think the winner would be less than 12 years old, probably around 6.

K zvyšovaniu daní pripomínam blog z roku 2017 (je aj v knihe Hackni sa) s názvom "Bohatí ľudia neplatia dane". Dane mimochodom neplatia ani firmy, tie ich len vyberajú pre štát, peniaze idú vždy od koncových zákazníkov.

Congrats to 25 years of Euro!

Translation of my blog "Rich people don't (have to) pay taxes" into English. The politicians like to tell you that it will be the rich people or corporations that will pay the taxes and you don't have to worry about it. The fact is that it's the poor people and people who use fiat money who pay most of the taxes and rich people can very easily avoid it.
