It uses Bitcoin-style HTLCs for settlement and Nostr for peer-to-peer coordination. No swap server or federation; the chains remain authoritative. The current release is experimental and unaudited, but it has completed two-host regtest swaps in both physical directions, including restart and recovery testing. One thing I’d especially like people to try: Give the repo to your AI assistant and ask it to walk you through a swap one command at a time. Start on regtest or use tiny experimental amounts only. Do not use valuable funds yet. Feedback, breakage reports, and independent implementations are very welcome.

are typical men more attracted or less attracted if they have a 3rd date fireside on her patio and she mentions that she built the outdoor garden lighting? she asked me "did i scare him away" i said no... i'm pretty sure having a handywoman would be a bonus, but... are men scared off by women who install their own patio lighting? or maybe they are scared off by the fact that she has a patio in the first place. idk. is dating a woman who owns a house demoralizing for men who are below the average age of home ownership? she was literally considering selling the house and renting. i said that was a bad idea. but maybe a woman in an apartment is more palatable for dating for a man who is in an apartment? NDA--not dating advice. sell your house and rent.

Gm nostr I'm hanging around Philadelphia today in case anyone wants to meet for a coffee.

boomer - house, car,marriage children genx - house, car, marriage millenial - car, marriage genz -

is it just me or are we being psy-opped into feeling sorry for genz*. like really sorry. not earning enough to pay rent, buy food and finally the big gut punch--not having sex-- or actually that is just genz men who aren't having sex because half of genz women are stuck--even worse-- with older guys (millennials?) i think i'm just going to vote for communism now because wow they have it so hard. mamdani is looking really good right now especially since he's showing up on the pothole crew the reason why i think it's a psy-op: ...because where are those millennial men who are dating the 33% of Genz women? why do i not see youtuber millennials like "i'm dating one of the 33% of genz women who settled for more". *i know this is just my personal algorithm and may not be indicative of broader trends

so who lacked faith, Jesus or the fig tree? View quoted note → View quoted note → are fig trees conscious? are trees consious?

bitcoin development obstacles for vibe coders:

progress update XBT/BTC atomic swap via nostr is almost beta ready. I'm trying to make it as easy as possible to Atomic swap using the available Blake2b companion node on a Start9. The difficult part was hoping someone would be willing to run both a bitcoin core node as well as a bitcoin blake2b node in order to atomic swap. With start9, it literally just plugs into the node that is there already. and with the Blake2b Companion node on the same start9, it will become even easier. View quoted note → and it needs an icon. the AI generation is just not cutting it--I feel dirty getting AI to pilfer someone else's work,even though i like the concept that AI came up with. props if you can guess the provenance of the inspiration

~Confronting of the fig tree~ *the next morning, Jesus was passing by with his followers. They saw the fig tree, and it was dry and dead, even to the roots. Peter remembered the tree and said to Jesus, "Teacher, look! Yesterday, you cursed the fig tree. Now it is dry and dead!" *Jesus answered, "Have faith in God. I tell you the truth. You can say to this mountain, 'Go mountain, fall into the sea.' And if you have no doubts in your mind and believe that the thing you say will happen, then God will do it for you. So I tell you to ask for things in prayer. And if you believe that you have received those things, then they will be yours." Oh fig tree of little faith. If you knew the Creator of the earth was passing by, could you not have had a little faith and rustled up some fig supper?

I started reading Fellowship of the Rings before bed to give me pleasant dreams of wanderings with friends through fields and forests. last night i woke up with Gollum pulling at my feet and me kicking at him.

The unsettling story of an autistic 31 year black man who confessed to setting the pipe bombs on January 5 of (the year J6 occurred). I would be curious if anyone can hear this and think that this confession counts for anything. It also makes me wonder if the FBI is ever going to ask "so you have been hanging out on Nostr" like they ask about discord. or maybe we are just too smart to be patsied. And the people conducting the questioning... how can they do that manipulative questioning and gaslighting with a clear conscience? what motivation could they have?

Jesus gets hangry: "The next day as Jesus was leaving Bethany, he was hungry. He saw a fig tree in leaf. So he went to the tree to see if it had any figs on it. But he found no figs. Only leaves. It was not the right season for figs to grow. So Jesus said to the tree. May no one ever eat fruit from you again.(Mark 11:12-14)" next up: Jesus flips tables

it's taking sooo long to install: Bitcoin Knots (BLAKE2b) Companion

lots of buttons to test.

...and nostr ALWAYS for XBT/BTC atomic swaps coming soon to Start9...

really liking the new Start9 look. version 1.0 of the Blake Swap service is already tucked away on the menu for testing

i can't get a SSD USB C adaptor to work... the SSD card goes into my old Lenovo 100D laptop from 10 years ago and works effortlessly. inserting it into the USBC adaptor on the new laptop is another challenge. flip, reverse it, wait for that "ding"
