In terms of the constant blabbering I see on here about @npub10pe…n34f :
Just because they are transparent doesn’t mean they have to give reasons for declining grants. No one likes being rejected, but it’s part of life, get used to it. If you don’t like the way OpenSats is operating, provide concise & constructive feedback. Then wait to see how OpenSats responds and evolves. Otherwise, do better yourself.
TAKE ACTION. BE THE 501(C)(3) YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD.

Stay vigilant friends. I’ve been dealing with this ever since the Ledger hack (and exacerbated by multiple third party vendor data leaks). The best action is to take NO action. Time is your friend, don’t panic.

https://m.primal.net/IrtT.png It's been slowly happening for a while, but I feel comedians are being targeted the most because their jobs require truth in order to be effective. Now, more than ever, society normalizes censorship so they can 'filter' the truths they don't want to hear (or don't want others to hear/agree with). Big tech will blame the algos, but ultimately it will be platforms like NOSTR that offer the only solution to this censorship crisis. NOSTR will be the tool that will wrestle the power away from big tech. It will teach content creators, truth tellers & the like what sovereignty is and why it is important. As with all good technological advancement, the first movers will have a significant advantage, while the laggards will say the first movers got lucky.

Last Friday, at block 844054, I completed the first wallet of my AF21 series. I’m super excited with how this came out! Currently working on the packaging for this series, which should be finalized shortly. I’ll be trying to auction this piece off, with 10% of the proceeds being donated to open source developers. Should I self host the auction or use scarce.city ?

Curious your thoughts on the following questions:
Do you not see issuance of ETFs for POS networks as a centralizing move? Resulting in all your MEV related concerns flooding to the only truly decentralized network?
How can the value of an ETF reflect accurately the underlying when no one knows the true supply of the underlying asset?

The Oklahoma bill news seems like people are celebrating some sort of win. The bill never even mentions #bitcoin by name, just a bunch of general terms that bitcoin uses (but also a fuck ton of moronic nonsense also use these terms). This seems like a compromised text that some politician wanted to pass to gain popularity given the current climate/hostility toward the bitcoin & cryptocurrency space. I'm not trying to diminish the work done by those in OK to bring the topic to the forefront, but it should have specifically stated bitcoin in the law, or else it stands to just be loosely interpreted and selectively enforced (if it doesn't get trumped by a federal ban). end rant.
