Homemade pizza for Bitcoin Pizza Day always hits the spot, especially when you make them with your family 🥹 https://blossom.primal.net/a7b80f2078d74f75b7f225d923a46b7ca74d2e012d434dbb60a2104a27e60cf1.jpg
The Nostr flywheel is working as expected.
It's a thing!

@npub13af…hxdh you wanted more sparkles. i think this might help us win.
we will use this to throw a 70's nostr disco party to onboard the masses.

we have a little bit of a chicken and egg problem, unfortuntely.
we're gonna need to do an onchain zapathon then. zapathons proved that zaps were fun.
Jason Lowery's SOFTWAR playing out in real time.
Congressman Lance Gooden says "the Pentagon is currently researching how bitcoin can be used toward" strengthening their cyber defenses.
Bitcoin "is the center of a paradigm shift in national security that the U.S. military is moving to capitalize on."
the problem we gotta fix lol
These look way too narrow tho...
Try that hammock, it might help with the pain.
Oh this is a bug/odd state that happens if you have an old stream or something like that.
Solid article, Thanks!
Just FYI, Arkade has nice scripting improvements, so we can make fancy zero knowledge privacy transaction pools. Still vaporware, but that makes me bullish on it.
That's awesome!
I think this type of list is more of a starting point to look and explore places, it's not a guaranteed "these are all amazing". But you'll get a hang of it when you explore a couple and you'll be able to continuously fine tune the script or just see the quality on the map.
Let me know how it goes!
I've been using Cashu for 7 months now without issue to send and receive. My zaps work.
have we forgotten that people can have different thoughts or opinions and still get along? the world would be an incredibly dull and boring place if everyone thought the same thing.
Okay. Enough shitposts. @nprofile…tkue is awake now and will takeover while I pressure wash the house. Godspeed.
Yeah, really a massive breakthrough.
Gonna need a new name for on-chain zaps. They're not Lightning. There is no "zap" involved. Someone call up the head of marketing and put some top Nostriches on it.
idk, maybe, but worth the opportunity cost?
The outrage is odd.
Do we want normies here? Yes. We want users. We want growth.
Without growth, devs lose interest. Without devs, funding dries up. Without funding, Nostr goes back to being a 2022 side project.
Nostr has been declining in growth and activity for a year and a half. Apps and services have exploded, but the people using them have dwindled. In 2023 and 2024, my notes saw incredible interaction. By 2025 things slowed down, and in 2026 I barely get engagement on an average note.
Something new has to be done. UTXO is trying new things. Many of us are exploring different paths forward, because the old paths aren't leading anywhere and we want this to succeed.
The beauty of Nostr is its flexibility. Large community, small community, basic app, complex app, it's all still Nostr.
So go ahead. Run your private community relay, accessible only over Tor, requiring Lightning payments for read and write access. Nostr won't change much for you.
But for the rest of us trying to build something that actually grows? We need to try something different.
Charge an extra fee whenever they pay you in fiat.
Much stronger narrative than giving a discount if they pay in bitcoin.
Start with 10% or so, and steadily increase until your at a 300% fee premium.
Be useful to people who have bitcoin.
So you prefer the cryptography stuff over the economics?
Odd, what client are you using?
You can also get them on my site.

Is okay. nostrelites.org has been holding down the WoT fort.
After years of living in a truck I wrote a script that finds the parking spots long-term vehicle dwellers converge on: end-of-road clearings deep in forest, used by hikers during the day, empty after dark. I ran it for every country in Europe and the output is about forty thousand candidates, color-coded by tier, free to download. This post makes the case for sleeping in forests over supermarket lots, and explains how the discovery works.

Is it tho?
It seems more like an empirical and falsifiable evidence or premise, not necessarily a formal assumption adopted for deductive systems.
Interesting, I didn't know!
datum is the singular of data
I open-time-stamped and liked your note just to proof you wrong...
My book got a shoutout on Kinsella's website. Nice.
Definitely check out his site and work, Amazing thinker!

Works for me, try again please

Combining Austrian Economics with Cypherpunk code to explain privacy and teach how to protect it.
@nprofile…c9uc webinar starting now about how content creators can defend against the 5$ wrench attack:

It worked, I think, thanks!
Oh wait, it went to my wallet, not to the freedom tech summit wallet, cause none is configured.
I'll forward it, Thanks!
Most important file of my book is now available:
The dark mode edition.
I value the eyes of my readers and don't want them to bleed, pitch black pdf is the way to go!
Also epub and summaries are now available.
