For this exact reason I have created @npub1zyx…7mxy
I was tired of arguing with the merchants that they should support my favorite crypto. Instead I'm happy if they support any of them. If I can swap into it with liquid enough market and no KYC, I'm happy. Other option is state fiat, often using credit cards. Just show me the qr code and I'm happy.
I called it law of cryptocurrency isomorphism. And my wallet should figure out how to pay it, I don't even care what it is. When I'm buying my herbal tea, I don't care if they want Monero, zcash, usdt, etc. I'm not there for a discussion but a purchase. They're already long way because they accept any crypto at all

I have not tried it (and OFAC sanctioned coins are a bit hard to come by:).
But the way it usually works is that what is tainted is not an address, but a transaction history. Sanctioned->Address->Sanctioned is a closed loop. As long as you don't combine it with your other funds (by spending it together with another UTXO), it's usually fine.

While I agree with the sentiment ( „people can use any wallet they want“ part is actually the problem), I don't agree with the conclusion.
This is Bitcoin. Having options and decisions not made for you, but by you is the whole point. Sane default are fine, but I always tell people that this is a feature and they can and should change wallets all the time, if something better comes along.
I would say easier integration with NWC (one-click setup) would be much better than choices made for people.

Is this called a premine?
No, not in the strict sense. A premine means coins minted (or allocated) *before* the public network launches — insiders hold a balance the moment block 1 goes live, before anyone else can mine. Zcash didn't do that. At block 1, supply was zero. Every ZEC, including the Founders' Reward portion, was issued through normal block emission after launch.
The accurate terms are "Founders' Reward," "founders' tax," or more neutrally a "block reward allocation" or "dev tax." Critics sometimes call it a "slow premine" or "post-mine" because the economic effect resembles a premine — a fixed cut of supply going to insiders on a predetermined schedule — but the mechanism is different: it's enforced in consensus per block rather than handed out before launch.
The distinction matters for a few reasons: there was no pre-launch insider balance that could be dumped on day one, the allocation was fully disclosed and capped, and it ended on schedule at the first halving (the post-2020 dev fund is a separate decision by the community, not a continuation of the original deal). Whether that makes it meaningfully better than a premine is the actual debate — but terminologically, "premine" is wrong.

New York’s FY 2027 budget law mandates surveillance software in every 3D printer sold in the state. The software must scan each print job in real time and block any that could produce firearm components. Pilot tests flagged 17% of innocent designs such as brackets and bottle openers.
The law also makes it a Class E felony to possess or share a 3D-printable file capable of producing a firearm component.
If it rhymes with printing press control, it's right. But this time, don't call it censorship, it's called progress and you voted for it. Coming to 3D printer near you soon.

Cypherpunk communities and services – who you meet on the parallel path
Most cypherpunk resources focus on technology and skip the social layer. Big mistake. Technology alone rarely suffices. Communities and service providers are what make it actually usable.
A few problems: Communities "don't count", service providers are evil ("they take fees! it should be free!"). And religious dogmatism.

I wrote nprofile1qqsrcvzxmazwgpmtua0yn7pzaenr96pf7u6zu9ktnrq3v5mylr8fn2szn8jx9 exactly for replacing these "I need your life story" payment gateways with a simple Lightning gateway that runs on your PHP hosting and uses Cashu mints to accept lightning invoices.
Because usually the story is - sure, I don't like corpo-pay, but running BTC Pay is too difficult. Cashu Pay is a drop-in replacement for basic features that you unzip on PHP hosting and click through a wizard and you're good to go.

Cypherpunkové komunity a služby - koho stretnete na paralelnej ceste
Väčšina cypherpunk zdrojov sa sústredí na technológiu a preskakuje sociálnu vrstvu. Veľká chyba. Technológia sama o sebe väčšinou nestačí. Komunity a poskytovatelia služieb sú to, čo ju robí použiteľnou.
Pár problémov: komunity „sa nerátajú", poskytovatelia služieb sú zlí („berú si poplatky! malo by to byť zadarmo!"). A náboženský dogmatizmus.
V knihe Krotitelia Entropie sú hlavnými postavami práve poskytovatelia - dokonca "VCs". Potrebujeme ich v realite a myslím, že je fajn začať tým, že na nich zmeníme pohľad, cez super román to môže byť dobrý spôsob.

For most of human history, the bread problem was solved by money. You hand the baker coins, the baker hands you bread, neither of you needs to know the other's name. Reputation only became necessary once we introduced asynchrony and reversibility: credit, chargebacks, pay-later. The seller has to bet on who you are instead of what you paid, and that bet is what accounts, KYC, fraud scoring, and social graphs are pricing. Identity theatre is unpriced credit risk in a uniform.
Cashu and Routstr collapse that detour. Bearer ecash for an LLM call is structurally identical to coins for bread. Settled on the spot, no counterparty bet, no recourse needed because there's nothing to recover. We didn't invent anything. We walked back to where we started after a few centuries of building ledgers, banks, and identity systems to patch the holes in deferred payment. Money → identity theatre → money.
The cypherpunk point here is boring: finality is cheaper than verification.

It seems super funny how corpos are trying to push stablecoin agentic payments with complicated schemes. Writing payments for every api call into blockchain, even the corporate one, is super expensive. So they make super complicated facilitators which would make it possible. It's basically prepayment to a third party.
We have @npub17fz…9yxv. Just include the token in request headers and get change if needed. No back and forth required. The API can claim the payment immediately on the mint. Even if you consider the threat model the same (mint=facilitator), the protocol is much more elegant. And even getting Cashu tokens can be done over lightning, so lower exposure and still no on chain fees or waiting.
I think the problem is that people are scared of sats as the unit. Originally I thought it's custody risk (and I mean mainly regulatory risk), but facilitators are custodians. I think it's just cultural. And Coinbase / Circle pushing their product.
Economic implications: Each usdc held on Base or elsewhere is financing American government. And each Base transaction helps the pnl of Coinbase.
Each sat held and used helps the parallel way. I made my choice. Better tech, better privacy and no financing of monopolies on violence. That's why my agent has a Cashu wallet. And I'd gladly finance good mints with some fees.

Yeah. In Europe, MeshCore is literally almost everywhere, at least in cities I've visited so far. Like you don't even need to put the lora node to the window, I can just use it from bathroom if I want to.
And I think it's quite nice to start the network effect with something that benefits from it - group chat. Which Sideband is not really good at.

2026-05-01 11:39:50 UTC

You don't need to choose one or the other.
BitChat for everyone who has the phone (so basically everyone). Than you can use Bitchat-meshcore bridge - and you need just two - to connect those two meshes. Not perfect, it only interconnects the channel data (very hard to do full bitchat protocol bridge over lora), but this combines advantages of both - range of meshcore, no hw requirements of bitchat.
https://github.com/jooray/MeshCore-BitChat
And your point is exactly right - hard to setup when you're being bombed. But it's easier to connect a few areas with a few devices and then use bitchat in populated areas in the local mesh.

I would go even further. There is no "governance model" that is generic. A community might agree on when you should not make loud noises, but they should not govern what you smoke on your balcony.
Meaning this - you can be sovereign individual in what your money for saving is. Your business, comunity should not touch it. But the community will probably converge towards several payment networks (which might be using completely different tech than what you save in). And these networks might be global, although you agree locally on the use. You might belong to several communities, even in the same area. The tennis court has different governance than the park.
I think this is what most people don't get - one extreme is statists thinking "you can't do cherry-picking, it's all a package - taxes, education, healthcare, roads, laws, ...". But with flag theory we see you can absolutely do cherry picking. Sovereign individuals think it's all on them. I agree there will be individual, community and global aspects, but each with cherry-picking where it makes sense.
And it's not designed, but discovered. (How it looks like is in @nprofile…cr99).

Tamers of Entropy/ Krotitelia entropie launch
Maybe you have noticed the strangeness of the world we live in is increasing. We can constantly play catch-up and try to make sense of it, which we should do to some extent, especially with technology that will affect us all. But for most things, walking a parallel path has both better outcomes and we can make better sense of what we create. This is what the characters of my new novel Tamers of Entropy do (available now for preorder in English original, and Czech and Slovak translations - both paperback and audiobook).
Tamers of Entropy has a wide range of topics: hacking, identity, bureaucracy, parallel market structures, consciousness, mind and their expansion. And a few very interesting themes. It is a story happening over three decades, and it was written over three decades, but it is very current.
I use the characters as guides. I often ask questions such as "What would Satoshi do?". It works even better with characters of the story. Each of them is unique in a different way, not supernatural. The genre is documentary sci-fi, hacker story, but it changes during the book to something I won't spoil. It is a lunarpunk story. I hope you enjoy it.
Practicalities:
Two versions:
- Paperback: €24.99
- Premium: €49.99 during preorder, €59.99 after. Paperback + USB stick with the audiobook and extra materials + an "open after reading" envelope.
Order links:

What good is a social network or protocol without a lot of users?
First a personal flip to this question. I was on mailing lists, usenet, irc, silc, kyberia, facebook, ... Everytime it became too crowded, I left. Not with a statement, rarely it was even a decision. I did not even burn any bridges and I don't think anything bad about people who stayed. I just stopped going, because the noise (and sometimes drama) was too much compared to the signal.
I'm not an introvert, but in this regard something similar - otrovert. I like interactions, I don't get group rituals.
So what good is a social network without numbers to back up reach? I used to work for a web portal of a TV station. I think one of the worst investments there is is buying a lot of reach. Maybe if you sell mass market shampoo or junkfood, it makes sense. For every other case, you want limited reach. Limited to people who want to hear from you. They might or might not know that they want to hear from you, but the second it feels you intruded their attention, you lost a good customer. And that's true regardless if they buy from you or don't. There's an aftertaste of force.
People often hate the practice of marketing, but I realize it's because they were exposed to so much junk. It's like saying you hate Chinese food because you only went to shitty restaurants and got food poisoning. Go to a five star Chinese restaurant.
I get it, the shitty marketing way outnumbers nice, honest marketing that you want to hear.
So what good is a social network without reach?
You want to reach the right people. Those that want to hear from you. Of course small doesn't mean it's the right fit. Promoting scammy shitcoins or junkfood on Nostr won't work, we don't care. But the story is more complex than numbers.
And personally - I'd rather not read bullshit with breaking as the first word. And "this changes everything". I wish there was more content that I'm interested in. But this also has a flipside. A lot of content that I'm interested in is just not on other networks.

I don't have this experience. It just works very well lately, even with larger code bases.
Maybe you used older model or not so good harness?

So the Americans turned off Open Evidence for Europe over the weekend. It's an AI tool for doctors that will digitize global healthcare before Czech hospitals stop using floppy disks. If our doctors want to keep using it, they're apparently supposed to write to their European MP.I'll never understand what kind of "good" was going through the heads of officials and politicians in Brussels when they pushed Europe to the periphery of the world with their stupid regulations. The future is in technology, whether they like it or not. In Europe, technologies aren't being created — and soon they won't even be allowed to be used. And that's solely and exclusively because of the stubbornness of a few hundred people in Brussels. No voters ever asked for GDPR, the AI Act, the Data Act, or any other similarly insane rules. They just decided to do good.I'm just wondering what I should tell my kids to study. My daughter will probably end up giving tours of Gothic castles, and my son will sell VPNs. And when they get bored, they'll just switch places.

Thank you.. But I'm more interested in what kinds of problems people have with relays. I have a few Nostr clients and would like to avoid any issues.

And the priestess (@nprofile…zwsz ) continued today, I couldn't see that, had another program 😉
But it was a Bitcoin procession through the city with a small crowd 😉

I've never had to worry about relays in my life and I used all the clients. What is there to worry about?

Maybe there's another person who is alone everywhere you they go and you will meet them somewhere in spacetime and you'll hit it off immediately, because you have something in common!

Greatest moment on the mesh yesterday. Yes, it was very lively during the day on bitchat, but it ended up being me and @npub125h…td8j on the mesh while she was singing (with 4xSuper) and I was sending her photos of her singing (photo that I meshed @npub1j0h…w6rf ).
Two people being massaged on the stage. @npub1j6z…69z8 was the most Lunarpunk thing that I ever experienced in my life.

Install Bitchat, open, set a nick.
Welcome to the mesh. If two phones are in bluetooth reach, they can chat.
If another is added, reachable by one of the existing phones, the other can see (the middle phone relays).

Hot tip: If you have shitloads of subscriptions and you don't need them anymore, tell your AI agent to find a way to migrate away. Get a @nprofile…fu08, nextcloud, or whatever, let agents write migration scripts and verify it all went out. Cancel all the corporate bullshit.
Before, the cost for subscriptions was much lower than cost (mental cost, time) to migrate. Not anymore. Get free. I'm migrating.

Yes, it's an affiliate link (I openly admitted I shared it so you can support the development of the FOSS app).
And when I click it, I have exactly the same error, because I myself also use uBlock Origin 😉

Good read. My two cents: I am using it because it supports mlx explicitly. llama.cpp is still metal, so it's a bit slower. Although I love llama.cpp and was using it natively.
LM Studio - I don't like it, many bugs, closed source.
What I want: FOSS, models are introduced and supported fast, ideally one command (ollama pull-like) model installation, embedding models support.
I am not saying ollama is perfect, but works for me better than alternatives I looked at.

How do I know that my talk on Saturday at @nprofile…u2lg will be good? When putting it together with Claude, it kept saying something about some legalese and terms of service 😃
Switched to a chinese model (Kimi K2.6), it was way less censored.
I don't know exactly what it did not like, I just gave it my research, dumped all my Nostr posts for the last year and asked it if I did not forget anything important.
And I have! So it will be even better.
Yes, I will make all you beautiful people a recording.

You have signatures on the apks, the OS won't install if it's with a different key. So only first time problem - but that's the same with zapstore, unless you know the author's npub.
BTW: Obtainium has many sources, including just plain web URLs, not only github. I guess it could even search zapstore if needed. That would be a cool project.

My PulseLibre app for vagus nerve stimulator is on Zapstore!
https://zapstore.dev/apps/com.pulselibre
Get your Pulsetto here (you will support app development): https://juraj.bednar.io/pulsetto
Beware, you have to cancel trial right after ordering the device, because they will bill you for the premium app automatically after 14 days!
Get the Fit version, it fits better. And yes, it works, measured on HRV. Good thing if you are chronically stressed and need immune or gut support (both are greatly modulated by the vagus nerve).

This weekend, there is @nprofile…u2lg in Bratislava (many English language talks!).
https://bitcoinjeretro.cypherpunk.today/
It's very cool. Also, there will be a Bitcoin sauna tomorrow, with singing and whisks, etc. Tickets on the same site.
"Bitcoin is retro" means Bitcoin is now almost old enough to vote, drive and drink :).
I am teasing my novel Tamers of entropy, which starts in 2003, when the protagonists were sketching the same sovereign stack out of necessity — mesh networking, encrypted communication, bearer money, no single point of failure. Twenty+ years later the tools exist and the characters are compounding them for something magical. We're catching up to the vision.
That is what my talk at Bitcoin je retro is about - did we catch up to the vision? (Spoiler alert: We are way beyond old cypherpunk dreams. Cypherpunk future is now).
If you want to know when you can preorder Tamers of entropy, sign-up here (choose EN, SK or CZ language - and yes, you can put an npub there, @nprofile…cr99 are Nostr native):

Well, Obtainium works - I don't have to do anything, just publish the app wherever and people add url.

Picking a Qwen3.6 model in Ollama? More parameters ≠ better model. Architecture matters.
qwen3.6:27b is a dense model — every token goes through the entire network. Slower, but higher-quality output. qwen3.6:35b-a3b is MoE (mixture of experts): a router picks a few experts, and only ~3B of the 35B parameters are active per token. Much faster, usually lower quality. You still need all 35B loaded into RAM. The benchmarks back this up: Qwen claims the 27B dense beats their own previous flagship 397B-A17B MoE on agentic coding.
Quantization is rounding the weights (4-bit, 8-bit, …). Smaller file, faster inference, mild quality loss. Running unquantized is usually slower because of memory-bandwidth overhead.
MLX is Apple Silicon–native inference, the fastest path on a Mac. In Ollama, though, the MLX builds of Qwen3.6 are text-only for now — vision isn't wired up on Ollama's MLX path yet, and Unsloth's vision-capable builds don't currently work on Ollama either. If you need images, you're stuck waiting, or going outside Ollama (LM Studio, mlx-vlm).
TL;DR: dense is better for quality, MoE for speed, quantization almost always yes, MLX on a Mac — but in Ollama, no images yet.

F-Droid is also not very secure, they build with outdated libraries.
