Hey. Congrats on staying off social media so long. I stayed away for years after it turned into a marketing machine. You definitely picked the right place. I feel the same as you sometimes, “shouting into the void”, but the whole experience improves organically.

It was about the same time for me. I’d been researching it for a while but I hadn’t taken the plunge. I wanted to go all in but we were trying to buy a new house and mortgage lenders were looking for any excuse not to give you one.

Chiropractors are quacks. At least the one I went to is, who bent me double and ruptured the already slipped disc in my back that meant an emergency operation to stop me being paralysed from the waist down. I know that doesn’t help you right now but back problems can make you desperate for any help. I tried everything until I eventually paid to see a specialist neurosurgeon. He was the guy who did the operation and made my back better than ever. Hope you find a good solution. Back pain sucks.

True but even then that land may well have had a culture made up of centuries of invading cultures. But I know your point is that the world is becoming homogenous. The internet made that an inevitability.
You have to get away from the tourist zones and go where the locals go. There’s still history and diverse cultures and new food and drink out there. It’s just harder to find now.

2024-09-26 10:58:44 UTC

What was your biggest #bitcoin blunder that didn't involve selling it?
Mine was a double-whammy:
1. Mining directly to a hardware wallet, creating hundreds of tiny UTXOs, because I thought sending my rewards to the same address would amalgamate them.
2. Panicking when I understood what I’d done and consolidating the UTXOs during a period of high TX fees because I thought they were only going to get higher. Cost me hundreds of dollars in fees.
Education is everything. I’d heard about UTXOs but didn’t know what they were or how bitcoin worked.
I’m the type of person who doesn’t read the Ikea instructions. If bitcoin has taught me one thing, it’s not to mess with stuff before you understand it.

Quick question.
I have been pronouncing #Nostr like this: ‘noss-ter’. I recently noticed a lot of people say ‘know-ster’. Is this just a regional thing or is that correct?
I’ve also heard it as ‘naw-ster’ so maybe we can say it however we want. Maybe that’s the point.

Anyone out there using #StartOS for their #bitcoin node? I’ve nearly finished syncing the chain and was wondering if anyone had tips for services I should use.
I went for a less user-friendly approach last time I set up a node and it didn’t go so well for me. That’s why I thought I’d give Start9 a try.

Hi. I’m setting up a #bitcoin node using old PC parts and putting them into a dead home cinema subwoofer.
It’s made of MDF and was wondering if anyone had experience with wooden cases and the potential pitfalls.
Do I need to keep the components far away from the wood or would half an inch be fine?
I know I could buy a cheap case but thought it might be cool to recycle old stuff.
I realise the PSU is much more powerful than I need but it was lying around and I’m hoping it will only use the power it needs.
Any advice on the build would be very much appreciated.

Yes, I think that's true. I came to nostr expecting everything to tally up and messages to be seen everywhere. Basically, I expected Twitter without the algorithm, toxicity and bots.
A short learning-curve later, I’m beginning to get it. It actually reminds me of early Twitter, where it was more of an online interactive diary we sent out into the ether.
It feels early and new and like anything is possible. It’s cool and I’m bullish AF on nostr.

* Anyone following me after 6pm on1st September 2024 will be ineligible.
* ATH price must be in US dollars and based on at least two of the major exchanges.
* Anyone caught buying billions of dollars worth of #BTC in order to win a share of the 5000 satoshis will be disqualified.

I remember when #Twitter was fun. I had conversations with people I’d never normally speak to from all walks of life - including successful actors, musicians, politicians, athletes, etc - and no-one shilled stuff to you, no ads, no real toxicity. People were happy to follow others and there wasn’t the kudos of “Hey, I’ve got 10,000 followers and I only follow 50”.
As soon as newsreaders started inviting their viewers to share comments on their feed, I knew things were changing. Corporate accounts followed and then ads. It was inevitable, of course. It’s a business obviously but I dropped out for years before I returned because of my need for up-to-date #bitcoin news. But #TwitterX has become a shitpile of toxicity and political polarity and it can be a bit of a downer plowing through my feed sometimes.
But now I’m on #Nostr and I’m chill again. I know I’m repeating my thoughts of earlier notes but it’s a genuine joy to be here.

Friends often ask what I will do if #Bitcoin fails. I normally bore them with an explanation of decentralisation and network effect.
But I now realise it’s much more than that. It can never fail for me because, no matter what happens, studying #bitcoin has taught me so much about how money and economies work and especially the value of saving and patience.
Until I discovered Bitcoin, I’d never saved a penny in my life and lived month-to-month, mired in debt.
I don’t have much but I feel more secure about my financial future and the future of my family.
Every day I buy a few more #sats. Another small step closer to freedom.
