Is there a way for me to use my current key pair as a parent to generate additional child key pairs that I could use around the internet?
For example, I may want to use a service that allows me to pay sats via LN on-demand to generate an image, or privately download and summarize a YouTube video, and I may not want it tied to my sethforbtc npub. I may want to generate new keys every time I transact or use a new service, but who wants to keep track of hundreds of key pairs? I want them all to roll up to my main key, but maintain my privacy.

I’m new to downloading models from Hugging Face….whats the difference between 8x7B and 8x7B-Instruct?

Hey @npub1h8n…rpev, what is the best model I can run locally in LLM Studio that can help me with writing/understanding SQL, DAX, etc? #AskNostr

I just used @npub1wxl…hcan and @npub1get…0nfm to schedule an automatic zap to @npub1h8n…rpev --every single day. It's the principle, rather than the (low) amount, that counts. What a time to be alive! #BitcoinWillWin https://image.nostr.build/c8f4ee119393802c9c84d4598f55fa1586e6893410f9fdfe4bb5df5fb20a4072.png

Here’s how I understand the current limitations/recommendations related to using Nostr:
1. Don’t trust a client with your nsec.
2. Instead, use a tool that keeps your keys safe but allows you to authorize clients to sign transactions on your behalf.
Examples: Alby or nsec bunker.
3. There are no tools for mobile devices to manage #2. So you either go with an insecure method of using Nostr, or limit yourself to a desktop client. (What percentage of social media use is on mobile today, 90% +?)
Do I have this right? Are there any mobile options coming that don’t sacrifice security?

You don’t seem open to actually engaging. You treat anyone friendly to Bitcoin with full scale vituperation. It’s silly and infantile, really.

Update on my efforts to get a static, multi-use QR code for Lightning payments, so my kids can receive payment for scooping doggy doo:
@npub1ye5…knpr helped me find my @npub1get…0nfm raw text LNURL and directed me to a Google tool that generated a QR code for it. It worked like a charm, BUT....not every wallet could handle it:
@npub1hcw…h9rq: smooth as butter—instant sats
Phoenix: Also smooth—instant sats
Muun: Choked on the LNURL, thought it was a pull request rather than push
Breez: if you select the right option first, it worked, but it was very slow
Strike: Choked on the LNURL. Dang it!!! (This was the one I needed most to work) @npub1ex7…vyt9 @npub1cn4…3vle
CashApp: Choked on LNURL but seemed to be ok with a generated invoice with a configured amount of sats. I gritted my teech, jumped through their stupid KYC hoops, and then discovered that I have to formally purchase BTC in order to process a LN invoice. I can't start with fiat and send it via LN (like Strike brilliantly supports).
So I'm partially there. Strike support for LNURL's would provide the lowest barrier of entry to plebs. Sigh....
One day--ONE DAY!--everything will revolve around freedom money. The future is here; it's just not evenly distributed. #note1wta…flr8

2023-08-04 20:46:36

Hi @npub1get…0nfm!
Is there a way for me to generate an LNURL QR code that is reusable?
Use case: My kids are starting a Dog Poop Scooping business in our neighborhood, and I’d like to have a QR code that any of their customers can scan with Strike and send payment—without requiring me to generate a custom invoice every time.
I’ve been told this is possible with Alby but I can’t figure it out. Thanks!

I can’t decide if her voice or her content makes me want to shove sharpened pencils in both my ears. Probably both.
I rewatched The Big Short yesterday. Hellen’s video has strong vibes of the final scene where Mark Baum is speaking publicly alongside a Bear Stearns lackey who keeps claiming he’ll buy more of its stock; meanwhile, just during the time Mark Baum was speaking, Bear Stearns’ value dropped 38%.

I take your point, but I think you’re too simplistic.
I truly believe Bitcoin has the potential to cleanse the economy—and much of culture along with it. Yes, I was to personally benefit economically from it, but that’s not the primary reason I support it.
If I had a button that would guarantee the success of Bitcoin, but at the cost of me receiving any direct economic benefit, I would push it—no hesitation.

Well said. I am wary of the tendency to over spiritualize Bitcoin….and yet. As my understanding grows, the spiritual parallels that crop up are astounding. #note1gw4…llnl

Perhaps I’m not asking correctly or am misunderstanding something. Should I expect to see that Gilder book review post in my feed with everything else I’m posting? Because I don’t see it (unless I’m actually pasting the habla.news URL), and I’ve checked on multiple clients: Damus, Iris, Current, Plebstr….

2023-08-01 20:53:34

#AskNostr Yesterday I used @npub10aw…5ys7‘s habla.news to sign a long form post—a book review. It loads here (https://habla.news/a/naddr1qqxnzd3exqurzwphxucrwd3hqgs0as0se8a20ffgv4lt46y92j89pyxa5pxjpzwpn7up2eduyhhx8agrqsqqqa28hcz2jt) and is clearly associated with my identity, but none of the various Nostr clients I’ve tried will display that post in my feed. Why is that?

So far this book is 🔥🔥🔥:
“Bitcoin is peer to peer in every sense; it is so by design and it could not be any other way. As free and open source, it is peer-to-peer software; as consensus-driven software, it is a peer-to-peer protocol; as a censorship-resistant protocol, it is a peer-to-peer app; as a distributed app, it is a peer-to-peer network; as a communications network, it is a peer-to-peer language; and as a peaceful language, it is a peer-to-peer community.
“The client/server fiat finance and monetary model is none of these things, cannot be any of these things, and will never be any of these things. It is a closed-source, non-consensual, censorial, centralized, incomprehensible, violent system. It is unsurprising, therefore, that its system administrators would prefer to muddy the waters on how, exactly, it all works.” https://cdn.nostr.build/i/cf39246217ab5eab904db288978769091073f8ee2011fef4659faed484fd6e57.jpg

#[0] I have an idea.
I’d love to see Nostr integrate a way for users to post BTC collateral in order to establish they aren’t a bot or a scammer. Then users could apply filters to only see messages from those who’d met the financial requirements. (So far this is not a new idea—Saylor and others have been talking about it for years.)
Here’s my idea: what if the liquidity had to be posted into the JoinMarket pool, perhaps even locked up in a Fidelity bond? That would seriously juice the coinjoining network, bring tons of attention to the importance of privacy, and de facto *generate* said privacy for millions of users.
