It’s been pretty fun actively finding places on @nprofile…5daf Bitcoin map to eat at. I onboarded a few of my friends and family to use the app. I have never felt this much of a momentum push towards using Bitcoin in everyday life. Really cool to see

Worth a watch to support MyLifeOutdoors YouTube channel. When Steven announced his wife was diagnosed with cancer, Luke from OutdoorBoys offered to upload a video to his channel in support of Steven. Love to see it

Curious your thoughts on at what point you should migrate your stack from single sig to multi sig or single sig + password? Or if single sig forever is fine for individuals regardless of stack as long as safely stored

Bitcoiners value sound money, free speech, and technology - a deadly combo for authoritarians to deal with

2024-01-30 02:54:08 UTC

curious what software bitcoiners like to use for doing taxes on taxable bitcoin transactions? And does everyone use FIFO for the cost basis? I sometimes need to use sats to usd for big purchases. Any thoughts? @npub1s5y…6q7z @npub1cn4…3vle @npub1sg6…f63m

curious what kind the tech stack CashApp uses to implement the Bitcoin features? Currently at Bloomberg and using a lot of C++ and Python but would love to someday work on improving the money

Is this the reason zaps are enabled on primal? Apple requires that you maintain an integrated wallet? Curious how you were able to get around the constraints put on Damus

2023-12-02 21:26:49 UTC

One thing I can’t figure out is why zaps are allowed on @npub12vk…pugg but not @npub18m7…q955?

Best advice for going through bear and bull bitcoin markets is just always be dollar cost averaging aka just keep buying

2023-12-01 18:53:24 UTC

The ease of use here makes me want to post more on nostr

2023-12-01 18:52:28 UTC

Wow I am blown away by how easy to use Primal is. Especially the integrated lightning wallet. Nice work @npub1s5y…6q7z !!

Incredible to hear people talking about how the Fed is “predicting a recession” as if they can predict anything. Good thing they are centrally managing the economy with their magical predictive powers

Hey Gigi, always wondered how tax accounting would work for an individual and business wanting to transact in bitcoin only, wouldn’t the business need to calculate tax for bitcoin at time of each transaction? So every time you earn it would be a bit tedious to figure out your gain?

idk what Google is thinking with this Bard nonsense, but they need to rebrand this thing as Jarvis and have it running on every google search people make and stop bing in its tracks if they want to retain search dominance. It’s like watching a giant fall in slow motion.

It would be cool to have an extension of some sort that would take your nostr post and also post to your twitter account. Probably requires the twitter api and big $$ I’m guessing?

super interesting take on detriments of using “clean code” methods:
tldr
— inefficient—
- polymorphism
- internals
- small functions
- functions do 1 thing
all slow performance by as much as 15x w/out implementing any specific performance enhancement features
—fine—
-dry
keep it it’s a good idea, doesn’t change performance

been thinking about how to improve coding interviews. feels like it would be more effective to replace leetcode based interview with a walkthrough of what you have built on Github. maybe even an AI not that can review your code and provide a good summary for the interviewer and places to dive into during the interview. maybe even checks if you just copied an entire project or something…
