Really disappointed at @nprofile…2uzc for all the FUD about BIP110. Clearly he and @nprofile…a0wp are compromised.

Knives for Bitcoin!
Why not buy yourself a deliciously custom made, hand crafted kitchen knife using BTC and get 20% off my usual price!
Featured here is a gorgeous 9" chef knife in 4mm Magnacut with a pinless (hidden pin design) Tassie Musk handle.
This one went off to South Africa last year and is sitting pretty in a rack full of custom knives by other prominent knife makers.

Thanks man, appreciate the feedback.
I taught myself knife making off YouTube and various forums. I have a design background and eclectic tastes. I consider my work to be functional art.
The main difference between models is the profile: the outline of the knife.
I would assume my customers are collectors mainly, followed by some who use them for hunting or camping. I don't really ask.
I've made other pieces up to 450mm OAL.
I'll be around when you're ready. 😉

My small effort to post something on Nostr that's NOT Bitcoin related!
A project I've been working on lately is the Mach One electric skateboard by Radium Performance. We are three independent, self funded owner operators that all eskate ourselves.
We've turned the humble toy e-skateboard into something more akin to a motorbike. It can be smooth and gentle – or hair raising – take your pick.
Our first production run is now under way. We expect delivery of 100 Mach Ones by the end of this year.
The one pictured is a prototype with custom graphics. For details and pricing of the production model, see here:
https://radium-performance.com/pages/2024-mach-one-electric-skateboard

I do the write then delete thing all the time on email. Helps to get the real message out of your head. The edited version is usually what's sent.
That said, Nostr is certainly seeming a lot more genuine than other SMs right now.

Sounds like you're around the same point as me. Yeah terminal can be so refreshing at times when it does what you want instantly. The other side of the coin is the whole three steps forward, two back situation. Lots of error research! But that all adds up to skillz!
The RaspiBolt setup has gone pretty well now that I've got a handle on things. Would love to try another setup on a full PC but I got nothing spare right now. Thinking of doing another Pi setup as a backup so I can mess with one while the other chugs away. I'm only 70% done in IBD and I already get anxious when it stops!

I hear ya! I tried Raspiblitz a couple of times before giving up and finding RaspiBolt. Took a bit to get into command line, but all looking good with progress almost at 50%.

I remember a dear friend and mentor back in '97 excitedly telling me about this stuff he'd been reading about called cryptography. I was in marketing as a creative so had no time for "maths", but I somehow sensed that it was important. I've always had an inkling for trends. Little did I know how big an impact this one would have. I was lost in clown world until '17 when it all started to come into focus.
