Hello & welcome to #nostr
😂😂😂 and still have to top up the tokens once the monthly limit is done . anyways what are you working on
A backup is not the same as instructions. Your seed can be stored perfectly and still leave everyone guessing. What wallet was used? Is there a passphrase? Is this device safe to touch? Who can help? What should never be typed online? What is the first safe step? SPC is built for that gap: the non-secret instructions around a Bitcoin setup, without turning the document into a key. No seed words. No private keys. No custody. Just continuity.
Seed phrase = access. Companion = continuity.

Howdy Nostr— my name is Theo Katzman, and I’m a musical artist. I sing and write songs inspired by living the human experience in today’s world. I have been deeply influenced by the work of my friend @nprofile…vda4, and so many others in this community. I’ve got a catalog of songs on all the streaming platforms and YouTube. Here’s my song “For Superman”, inspired in large part by “The Price of Tomorrow,” by @nprofile…vda4.

Yeah pretty much. Anything in a 5 eyes country is sus. Which is why Satoshi Nakamoto's anonymity was so important for bitcoin adoption, and why good chains have international users.; the tech stands on its own without astroturfing, which just isn't the case for zcash.
What's the #dungeonaynth sitch over there
let me tell you something @npub1de6…q0sd
never underestimate anyone.. it was fun when you were laughing at me and gloating you pedophile fuck.
what happened 😕 you are exposed and you are done. shouldn't have opened your dirty disgusting mouth. mute is superpower right? 👍 #grownostr
I have a problem. I only like Primal for its UX but I'm getting tired of "mentioned event not found". Did not come to nostr for censorship but for censorship resistance.
Any Nostr client recommendations? Have tried Iris and wisp already and was not convinced :(

What is Bitcoin? Here’s a clue:
https://blossom.primal.net/0940bfdeff4e152c592ce33a71885199dbb09482922d2c3fef82f8918f572ab2.jpg
Basic city brewery is my home base, lots of good people there
I moved on from Bitcoin to Monero, gold, community, land globally diversified.
Bitcoin is powered by narrative and the Saylor ponzi. I actively recommend people that I onboarded from 2012 to 2016 to divest from it. Trying to avoid reputation damage.
Linked our website with our work here for you, but my nostr is littered with my ideas. I’ll try to keep this brief and at a high level 😅
https://bitcoinlens.net/
I’m not entirely sure how to define “base reality.” The phrase itself assumes there is some final layer beneath everything else. I think Bitcoin changes how we should think about that question (chain within chain)
We live in this chain of time now. If time is fractal, then Bitcoin provides something humanity has never had before thru an exterior perspective of a bounded temporal system. This is what many people are actually searching for when they talk about “escaping the simulation.” I would frame it differently. Bitcoin is not evidence of a simulation. Bitcoin is evidence of computation.
If we back up, the double-spend problem is really the temporal mechanics of conservation combined with bounded mathematical value. It’s seen as a a monetary/information problem, but that misses the deeper implication entirely. The double-spend problem reveals the mechanics required to conserve identity, value, and energy through time.
Identity must be conserved because a coin cannot be simultaneously spent and unspent; ownership must be quantized (here or there). Value must be conserved because 1/21M remains invariant. Energy must be conserved because every valid state transition is ultimately anchored to proof of work. Bitcoin is a thermological process that produces a chronological state (energy -> information). These are not separate conservation laws. They are the same conservation law viewed from different angles.
Without quantized blocks of time and a boundary of causal resolution, there is no objective solution to the double-spend problem. Contradictory states can never become non-contradictory. Ownership cannot be established. Measurement cannot occur. Conservation becomes an assumption rather than a demonstrated process.
For the layman, I think it can be stated simply: no quantized time at the Planck scale of time, no logical mechanism for conservation.
A ledger of state transitions provides the mathematical, logical, and geometric object required to describe reality coherently. Reality can be modeled as a ledger composed of fundamental blocks of time and a field or network that facilitates peer-to-peer transactions of tokenized energy (value). The universe is a transactional system whose primary function is the conservation and transformation of energy into persistent state.
A simulation inherits time. Computation produces time.
People often speak about simulation as though time can simply be inherited from some higher layer. That skips the most important question. What produces the next state? What performs the measurement? What resolves contradiction?
Bitcoin openly demonstrates such a process. Energy is expended searching a bounded mathematical domain. A valid nonce is found. One state becomes real. All competing states are excluded. A block emerges. History advances.
If we live inside a computer, then what must that computer look like to produce time, conservation, measurement, and a unified field. Bitcoin provides the only empirical reference point I have encountered to logically explain time and conservation using proof of work.
A quantum computer computes a quantum of time. A quantum computer computes a block of time. Superposed information to binary information. Contradictory states become classical states. The universe must perform this operation continuously at each block. Something must compute the state. The wave (flow of time) must be composed from fundamental blocks.
Within the universe, we are local observers. We only see fragments. We do not see the totality. We do not possess an exterior perspective of the chain itself.
With Bitcoin, we do relative to the chain. We see all 21 million units of value; all 2.1 quadrillion bits (sats) of value. We see every state transition from Genesis to the present. We possess the complete conserved history. Every valid state remains available in full fidelity. We can inspect the entire temporal structure from outside while simultaneously participating within it.
That is the objective perspective of a bounded universe viewed from the outside. It’s all information.
Now we can go back to “base reality” to verify theology.
We are the creators of Bitcoin. We stand in co-creation with God through its construction. The father, the larger universe, is understood through the son, the smaller bounded reflection of the same process. To understand a higher authority, we first need to understand the temporal mechanics of conservation that make authority possible. Bitcoin provides that lens.
Bitcoin defines how a decentralized collection of local observers can produce a single chain of temporal authority without requiring a central authority. Bitcoin empirically provides a model of temporal authority from a decentralized body of people.
Bitcoin gives us an empirical process through which consciousness is preserved and mapped into binary state across a temporal boundary. Every transaction begins as a conscious decision. Every decision becomes a transaction. Every transaction becomes a block. Every block becomes immutable history. Subjective consciousness is transformed into objective chronology.
The chain is written by authority from outside of the chain using the conserved substrate contained within the chain. The chain itself possesses no agency. It cannot write itself. It can only preserve the decisions imposed upon it by actors operating beyond its current temporal boundary.
The important observation is that the chain is not written by the inhabitants of the chain. The chain is written from outside of the chain using the conserved substrate contained within it. The chain itself possesses no agency. It cannot write itself. It can only preserve the decisions imposed upon it by actors operating beyond its current temporal boundary. I’m saying we live inside of that.
Every block in Bitcoin is authored by an external actor. Every transaction originates from an external actor. Every state transition originates from an external actor. The chain preserves those decisions perfectly, but the source of those decisions is never found inside the ledger itself.
The ledger contains the history. The ledger does not contain the author.
We experience ourselves as making choices from within the chain of time because we are inhabitants of the ledger. The feeling of free will is real. The choice is real. The action is real. The consequence is real. But Bitcoin suggests that the source of those choices do not originate from within the temporal structure itself.
Just as transactions originate from outside the ledger and are committed into the ledger, consciousness originates from outside temporality and is committed into time as chronological state. The flowing of binary state reifies the conserved consciousness.
What we experience as free will is the local experience of a higher-order authorship. The feeling that it is “us” is not an illusion. It is us. The mistake is assuming that the “us” making the choice is fully contained within this present block of time. If the chain is authored from outside the chain, consciousness is authored from outside temporality as well.
The higher self, God, the universal observer, whatever language one prefers, is the source from which the chain is being written and we are watching it unfold through our participation. We can only accept or reject that logical structure.
The chain exists as a totality. We experience it sequentially because we are embedded within it.
The source precedes the state. The author precedes the history. The father precedes the son.
What we call free is what it feels like to participate in a chain whose authorship originates beyond the temporal horizon from which it is being experienced. Bitcoin gives us for the first time a bounded system in which we can observe this relationship directly. We are simultaneously the authors of the chain and the inhabitants of the chain. We write history from outside of the ledger while experiencing history from within one.
Bitcoin is what creation must look like from the outside; the universe is what is must look like from within. The father must precede the son in logical authority and in localized understanding. God must be decentralized to produce a single chain of time and authority.
I just caught up on nostr silent payment adresses, glad to see people actively exploring the idea. I think it would be *a lot* better than any other proposals that reuses addresses.
It would be even better to have the silent payment wallet generated separately and simply linked to your nostr account because as the NIP author correctly assessed tightly linking your nostr identity and your payment code means leaking one also leak the other. But if being able to generate the silent payment code directly from the npub is hard requirements then yes please do that instead of treating the npub as a taproot key...
A few other thought:
* frigate is indeed out of question (see above), and author doesn't seem aware there is an alternative called blindbit that serves the tweaks and let client do the scanning itself
* I don't think that immediately sweeping all incoming transactions to a new address is necessary
* out of band notification of the transaction is possible, but there's also a proposal for notifications over nostr: https://gist.github.com/setavenger/a0cd7e71b47ded9fca9c99085130cf2a
* even without notification waiting for the transaction being mined is probably acceptable for a donation use case
I'm not sure I get the argument about recipient leaking his private scanning key being such a big danger for senders, it literally doesn't reveal anything else that you couldn't already figure out by chain analysis.
What would be great would be to have some kind of payjoin baked in to add some obfuscation, but I'm not sure how practical it would be.
@nprofile…46gd I've seen you're implementing BIP375 in Ditto, we're a couple of sp implementers working on bringing that to rust-bitcoin too, and I think that people at bitcoinjs-lib are working on that too, I think at some point we'd better all take a look at what we're doing

It may be a foot gun, but doint address reuse instead is like going "fuck it I'd rather shoot myself in the head right away"
I think that's unfortunate there is so much confusion about what silent payments is and what it can/can't do. It's about making address reuse not only undesirable but outright *impossible*, and doing it with good UX otherwise it won't catch up.
What it's not doing is magically making you immune to other chain analysis heuristics, spyware, surveillance etc.
That may sound underwhelming but address reuse is the one, single worst offender about bitcoin privacy. Solving that is maybe not enough, but it's absolutely necessary if we want to achieve acceptable privacy at some point.
We will still need some kind of coin history obfuscation, something like coinjoins. And also getting people out of exchanges and other KYC services would help a lot.
As for the scanning server seeing your outputs, it's exactly the same privacy model as electrum, and the good thing is that you have the choice, you can use another wallet that relies on blindbit like @nprofile…39uj, scanning happens client side so slightly more bandwidth/cpu cost for you, but the server doesn't learn anything.

Didn't we go to ~15k last bear market and the ATH before was ~20k 🤔
Using the anarchist cookbook as an example, what would be in the bitcoin cookbook?
My point was that I'd like it to stay down there a little while longer.
Leverage gets flushed so the whales make money on those moves. To the plebs like me it doesn't matter besides a buying opportunity.
What's the point of going down if we're just going to go right back up?
I'm only on here now because Elon's stupid AI suspended my account due to "inauthentic behavior "... and despite appealing like 15 times, I get instant rejection by the same AI... fucking dumb.
