I run an umbrel node on Rasberry Pi, but was considering buying their hardware. Anyone use it and have thoughts? Worth saving money and just building one for cheaper and installing umbrel? Seems to be what Reddit suggests.

Love the exposure, but like always a party is taking the great technology and making it political. I think it’s a huge mistake for the adoption of Bitcoin in USA. It shouldn’t be a red vs blue thing, like all the other bullshit out there.

Steamboat CO farmers market had a a vendor accepting Bitcoin, had to support a fellow stacker. If you are in the area, definitely check them out.

Do you have a website/domain? Start there, it’s really easy. https://www.name.com/blog/how-to-get-nostr-verified-on-a-custom-domain
If you don’t already have a website, you can host a JSON file free with services like GitHub, cloud fare, etc.

Charlie Munger continues to detach further and further from reality. Downplaying the importance of AI is the next thing on his list of things that makes it clear to me that he has lost “it”. Warren and Charlie were pioneers in value investing, and I have learned a lot from them, but it’s clear to me that they are very wrong about where we are heading. Fortunately for them, they don’t have to be right at 90+ years old.
Can’t wait to hear #[0] take on what comes out of that world. Having lived so deeply in both worlds of traditional value investing and now Bitcoin, his insights are usually spot on.

Technology makes it really hard for dictators to lie about their economic growth and production. Using satellites that measure pollution shows that Russia’s economy has been struggling contrary to the propaganda the Russian state continues to put out.
My take: Open source tech like Bitcoin and nostr will accomplish the same against banks and walled off/censored communication

So what are people’s thoughts on NIP5 vs. bluesky verification? I don’t have an invite yet to bluesky but from what I’ve seen they have made it pretty easy by just applying a TXT record to your domain that they supply inside the app UI. I don’t have a super informed opinion here, so asking the room.

This feels a bit like gmail undo, and I never have used it. I could see it being useful for some, but like some said at #nostrica, there is beauty in the mistakes.
I do think there is some value in ephemeral notes. Unlike conversation, notes can live forever. Even today we see that be used against people who may learn, change opinion, and grow as people. I would love to find a way to promote that type of growth on nostr instead of continue the trend of canceling people for what they may have posted about a decade ago. Maybe they needed to learn, grow, or found themselves in a bad place at the time. Social media today promotes judgement, would love to see nostr promote understanding.
Okay I got really off topic. Sorry elsat, this just became a rant I couldn’t stop haha

Don’t you think DNS is fairly decentralized already? I don’t really get the concern to be honest. The internet is decentralized. Root servers around the world, not centrally managed.
https://bitcoinmagazine.com/technical/simplifying-bitcoin-addresses-dns
“It’s true that DNS has an inverted tree structure that terminates at the root “.”. But even that root is fairly decentralized, comprising thousands of servers operated by at least 13 disparate operators. The legacy DNS may be logically centralized but in reality functions more like a decentralized federation of sorts.”

“Internal combustion engines are useful for cutting down trees with chainsaws, but that doesn’t make a lumberjack an expert in internal combustion engine design. So why are financiers claiming to be experts in proof-of-work technologies like Bitcoin? The most they can claim to be experts in is how to use proof-of-work technologies like Bitcoin for miscellaneous financial use cases.” From Softwar by Jason Lowery

So let’s try to do what Munger so blatantly couldn’t do at looking at both sides of the Bitcoin argument. I think 99% of the people on this platform are pro-Bitcoin and believe in the long term vision, but what are the best arguments against it you have seen? And resources would be great.

Agreed, love this article. With this most recent article in WSJ, #[1] curious what your thoughts are on the security/decentralized aspect when you factor in the lack of Bitcoin core devs/maintainers? Is that the point of failure we should be worried about? See my note for more context/questions: note1ms4ke80r05eg6xenjkg2qdh9ps2huequ9aggnwel703ada8m3twsluccm0

2023-02-17 23:15:33

So I’m not super familiar with the Bitcoin maintainers. I just read this article https://www.wsj.com/articles/bitcoin-core-maintainers-crypto-7b93804 and obviously need to learn more, but a couple questions that come up in my head, what happens to Bitcoin if we stop having this small group? Obviously we tout decentralization, but isn’t that contradicted by have so few maintainers (~5?). I know there are a few Bitcoin contributors on here, including #[0] . So I feel like I’m missing something here? Anyone want to provide some clarity?

You put the json file with your pub key into the file path https://www.growr.xyz/.well-known/nostr.json ? And added the config file in the root directory to include [".well-known"]?

For the new folks out there, all around the world! Here is an article I put together for those of you that want to verify on your own domain. [name]@[custom_domain]
Personally I think verification on your own custom domain is one of the best ways to ensure an imposter doesn’t try to pretend to be you.
https://www.name.com/blog/how-to-get-nostr-verified-on-a-custom-domain
Tried to make it a step by step process with pictures for us non-technical folk.
And again I setup a promo page for 50% off domains. If we get more momentum and I can get more TLDs added to the promo list. (Also have some non-English TLDs that have not been added but if we see the need)

I have umbrel running my Bitcoin node. I kinda want to get into opening my own lightning channel and playing around. Anyone have an good guides or tips? I am guessing if you don’t open the right channels with large enough funds, it won’t really be all that useful? This would be for learning purposes.

Can’t escape the ostrich! Out in Jackson and saw this in a gallery. Maybe we should buy it?
