The Rule of St. Benedict laid the foundations of European monastic life, which transformed the continent by the fruits of a balanced life of prayer and work. A humble obedience to God's will is a natural promotion of low time preference.
Ora et labora.
Stay humble, stack sats.

Nostr.build apparently disabled unauthorized API uploads. As soon as someone tells me about a free alternative I can fix that.

We need a #Bitcoin Bill of Rights.
For instance:
I. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of peer-to-peer electronic cash, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.
II. Well generated private keys, well instantiated validating nodes, and well generated proof-of-work, being necessary to the security of a free economy, the right of the people to keep and bear math, shall not be infringed.
III. No Federal agent shall, in time of peace be quartered in any wallet or account, without the consent of the owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.
IV. The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, computers, and keys, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated.
V. No person shall be compelled in any criminal case to reveal his own private keys, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Hello, Nostr!

2022-12-21 02:23:16 UTC

Are there any resources on Nostr key management? How should I be thinking about the security of my private key? Is it safe to share with multiple clients? Is there key rotation? Revocation?

2022-12-15 02:36:36 UTC

Bitcoin!
