What is the status of namecoin in 2026? Iirc it's decentralized dns built on top of bitcoins mining power and one of the first projects to try this. Wikipedia says icann dropped support for .bit domains and namecoin said it was the right decision??? But also they're at fosdem this year? I saw support got added for it in amesthyst. #asknostr #namecoin

What is the current state of zap splits in terms of wallet support, do most wallets support it? Via QR? Via nwc? #asknostr #bitcoin #lightningnetwork

Is there any danger in using the same seed phrase across two different cashu mints? The mint never has access to it correct? #asknostr #cashu

All it takes to say thank you is two tokens and a quick press of the esc key. Have a heart 💜

Best desktop/web client for nostr? Bonus if it makes it easy to have multiple identities #asknostr

I have two dollow suggestions for people who express complexity and nuance well and show up on nostr as whole ass humans without apology and seek truth in respectful disagreement and curiosity @Sourcenode @Trey Walsh Source node: uses first principles approach to all problems, asks good questions and hears everyone out Trey: have watched this guy navigate through a political/philosophical transformation over the past year or two much similar to the one I've been having Have found both of their feeds valuable, insightful, and different than the rest of my feed. Who do you suggest following? #asknostr

Feeling extra #pleb today. Locked in. Coding for freedom tech. Let's go 🫡

There's nothing more embarrassing than being corrected by an AI. You know how many times it had to triple check it's answer before flat out telling you you're wrong?

One of my small annoyances in life is when I'm in the self-checkout aisle and the employee strikes up a conversation with me I SPECIFICALLY picked this aisle so we wouldn't have to do this.

Let's help each other learn. What's one thing you learned how to do and now you'll NEVER go back to the old way of doing it? I'll start: using a pressure washer to clean my bathroom tile instead of manually scrubbing it like a pleb. #asknostr #advice

Societies that solve problems with technology and adapt are those that flourish and survive. Those that fight it do not. 🔥 The winters were gold and unforgiving, so we developed the technology to make fire on demand. Those who didn't make use of this died. 🌽 Even with fire, food was hard to come by, so we developed agriculture. Societies that didn't use this became irrelevant and got defeated in wars. 👫 People's sexual proclivities distracted us and caused conflict but we're also powerful motivators, we developed monogamy to harness and direct this power. Nearly every human society ends up adopting this system. 🖨️ Our ability to copy ideas, share, and iterate was limited by the speed of oral traditions and writing, so we developed the printing press 👑 Our potential and creativity was siphoned to a few powerful people who lacked the right information to make judgements that improved everyone's lives. They were also tyrants. So we developed democracy and moved from centrally planned economies to free markets 🏦 We moved from the printing press to the telegraph and soon the speed of transmitting information was faster than the speed of transmitting gold. So we developed currency backed by gold instead of moving around the gold itself. 🤔 Turns out the people in charge of that currency weren't trustworthy, in fact, many of our social and political systems were systems of rules that had to be enforced by SOMEONE but that also incentivized that someone to abuse that power and inherently exempted them from those same rules. 🎯 So Satoshi Nakomoto made Bitcoin aka blockchain. Now we didn't have to trust anyone and the system would self-enforce it's rules. Nobody could exempt themselves from the rules of physics and math. He made it to solve currency but he solved a much much bigger problem in the process. Thank you Satoshi ❤️. 16 years ago today someone used your invention for the first financial transaction: buying a pizza. Tomorrow we will use it for everything else. #bitcoin #blockchain #tech
