I think #Square rolling out support for #bitcoin is going to be a big deal. You’ll also note that it’s bitcoin specifically, not all the cryto crap that’s such a scam. Bitcoin is different and much more akin to gold in that it is a verifiably hard asset.

The Guardian has a rather good write up on #debasement, what it is, why people are taking note, & how gold and #bitcoin fit int the mix. @Chris Fisher this one might be good reference for TWIB

‘The debasement trade’: is this what’s driving gold, bitcoin and shares to record highs?

Investors fear governments will not – or cannot – rein in borrowing so are putting their money elsewhere

#musicians - wanna unlocks real-time royalty payments with no one taking a cut of what you’ve earned? (I have a hard time believing yiur answer is anything but yes.) Read this to learn how to do exactly that. Don’t wanna deal with Bitcoin? That’s fine, you can receive payment in a Strike wallet and withdraw directly to your bank account.

Regarding keeping fake boosts… I see zaprite has an api and can send webhooks… what if you fire a webhook on payment that triggers boostcli or similar for the same amount. That would get the funds from zaprite into the splits and the regular boosting ecosystem. This is assuming that @Alby Hub doesn’t have an api you could use to send the boost instead. Also, I bet the code that allows for boosting from podcastindex.org could be reused as the boost sender after the webhook is received… Lastly, I bet you could poll the wallet that’s receiving from zaprite and use that to track what payments have been forwarded as boosts… https://fountain.fm/episode/Ou3Z7cAybiNZgwGeKbhI View quoted note →

#Meshtastic on #Commodore sounds like a really fun combination!

The Meshtastic 64 Gets Commodore's Classic Home Computer Connected to the Popular Mesh Network

A Heltec LoRa V3 inside a cartridge shell bridges a three-decade gap, allowing the Commodore 64 and compatibles to become Meshtastic nodes.

Stay strong #PDX and don’t give the feds a reason to portray you in an unrealistic manner. The Rose City is an amazing place and I can’t imagine any realistic reason why the deployment of troops would be warranted.

Love the Cheep Cheep music in the background just after the boosts 😁Keep up the good work!

I’m so disgusted by yet another blatant war crime by #Israel yesterday. It sickens me that nothing more than a finger wag is actually being done by anyone in a position to convince them this is not okay, and not even that is done by the US administration. Absolutely disgusting and ridiculous.

I’d appreciate your thoughts on this article. Also, how does this relate to the L-BTC that we can peg into and out of? It seems that either I’m missing something or terms are being reused.

I am really interested in bcachefs, but I think it’s perfectly acceptable for the maintainers to kick it if the maintainer is a jerk. I’ve worked with really smart jerks and it just isn’t worth it. To be fair, I also don’t agree with how Linus treats people, but no one has the power to change Linus, they do have the power to not perpetuate it though. I hope they work it out.
