If you'd like to speed up @nprofile…5qez wallet's startup, I recommend turning off Express Graph Sync on startup (how performant your phone is will also determine startup speeds).
However, you can manually make the wallet do the sync and reset the graph when you're making payments to increase success probability.
You'll find these settings at Embedded Node > Express Graph Sync
The first option is to turn auto EGS at startup on and off.
The second option is to do it manually.
This is for people who want to open the wallet for other things than lightning payments like fetching wallet history, checking balance, managing channels, making on-chain payments, etc. but don't want to wait for long every single time.

It is about holding a politician who claims to be libertarian to a libertarian standard.
This means attaining libertarian goals through libertarian means.
A fiscal surplus achieved by increasing tax coercion is certainly not a libertarian policy program.
Increasing govt debt is not a libertarian policy program either, as it just pushes the instance of tax coercion into the future.
If the surplus was attained by reducing spending, reducing debt and also reducing tax coercion at the same time, then yes. It can be appreciated.
And the counter argument that 'net taxes' fell is also not what I consider to be the standard. There should be no increase in taxes whatsoever.
In terms of monetary reform, abolishing the central bank would be worthy of praise. Backing the Peso with Gold would be another one.
The fact that no government doing this is not a valid justification he can give either.
And it's not just an economic criticism. There's also the question of whether he brought in libertarian legal reforms.

"It is true that he has made the names of Ludwig von Mises, Murray Rothbard and other thinkers of the Austrian School known to a wider public. But his knowledge of their ideas and theories is superficial and flawed, and his praise is therefore double-edged. In any case, we can only advise the public not to regard Milei’s statements on economic philosophy as authoritative...
...it is not enough that he pursue liberal goals with his policies. Rather, the political means must be objectively suitable for actually achieving those goals. This should be self-evident, but it is often disregarded in politics, as Ludwig von Mises repeatedly pointed out. Milei’s policies are a case in point."

In addition to involuntary conscription being slavery, there are also other statements I use as litmus tests for how much a person believes in freedom like,
"Taxation violates property rights and is hence, theft."
"Property right is a human right."
"Property rights are necessary for freedom of speech and expression."
"Not all property titles are valid and just."
"Contracts can only be made with alienable ownership titles."
"Right to life and self-ownership is inalienable and cannot be violated."
"Freedom is not about popularity contests and free stuff. It is about the inviolability of natural rights."
How a person responds to these statements would give me a good idea about whether he is serious about human freedom or just virtue signalling.

2025-08-02 21:30:28 UTC

I love the idea of freedom tech. But why don't people who advocate for it also advocate for removing government involvement in spectrum allocation and telecom licensing and regulation?
Surely, a 'free' internet wouldn't involve getting permission from a bunch of bureaucrats to access. (Free as in freedom, not free beer.)
Seems to me that the most critical layers of the internet stack all over the world is run by various crony-bureaucrat alliances, rather than sound free market principles like property rights, contractual exchanges and homesteading.

😂 Cheeky Rothbard quote from Ethics of Liberty:
"Furthermore, all the various forms of statism have now been tried, and have failed. At the turn of the twentieth century, businessmen, politicians, and intellectuals throughout the Western world began to turn to a “new” system of mixed economy of State rule, to replace the relative laissez faire of the previous century. Such new and seemingly exciting panaceas as socialism, the corporate state, the Welfare-Warfare State, etc., have all been tried and have manifestly failed. The call for socialism or state planning is now a call for an old, tired, and failed system. What is there left to try but freedom?"

2025-08-01 04:51:21 UTC

Apparently,
Price controls, interest rate controls, taking of property in the name of public good, progressively stealing and redisributing more and more of people's income, consistent increases in money supply, fleecing of people's savings, monopoly-causing regulation of businesses, trade barriers in importing and exporting, restrictions on natural rights or complete outlawry of them, imprisoning those who resist theft and aggression, funding mass murder and displacement of innocent people living thousands of miles away,
are all fine, as long as they are forced down the throats of people by leaders who win popularity contests, using a group of people who didn't win anything as instruments to execute these policies, citing the written laws which these popularity contest winners can change much as they like as the legal basis for these actions, which are promptly upheld by scrutinizers who are paid by those whose actions they are scrutinising.

This is why I don't take much encouragement with the US or other countries adopting bitcoin. Because I don't subscribe to the idea that the Indian govt will automatically be favourable to bitcoin just because some OECD govts do.
I'm very optimistic and confident about the Indian people, their spirit and capability to do great things. But I'm incredibly skeptical about the Indian government and the political and legal system it claims to abide by. It's a cesspool of lies, deceit and incompetence.

This impacts mostly exchange rates and those who engage in foreign trade.
My point is nobody I know uses USD as a currency to save, transact and measure value.
Besides, the devaluation of the Rupee in India has more to do with the actions of the Indian govt than a foreign entity. Debt issuance, deficit spending, lowering of benchmark interest rates by RBI, stimulatory monetary policy play bigger roles than what the US did. Forex is a factor, sure. But one of many.

I've changed my mind about US-Dollar backed stablecoins:
I don't care if people use them in India. It's not the Government's business or mine to coerce people into using a particular currency, and that includes Bitcoin.
USD Stables are probably bad for people in many ways, but that's their responsibility. So I will not stand for them going to the Government and crying about it and calling for 'regulation' if the stablecoin issuer rugs them.
Abolishing legal tender laws and repealing the FEMA act is the goal. Not even Bitcoin should be legal tender. Currency competition is the way.
P.S. on a somewhat trusted note I feel like free banking is inevitable as Bitcoin adoption grows and chaumian ecash on Bitcoin matures.

Lists don't get enough love.
Adding and creating lists to feeds is not straightforward in clients. It requires a bit of tinkering and exploring with other clients like listr.lol
It's such a fundamental feature of Nostr and a huge improvement over traditional social media.
There are so many types of lists that there are specific event kinds for each one of them. I feel like we can do more to educate new nostriches about this.

Well it's nice that content gets shared this widely right?

All of these are just for backup though right?
I'm looking for something that will allow me to set up a personal relay exclusively for events I publish that my friends can connect.

Just did a little search about that statue. It's apparently named L.O.V.E. which is an acronym of "Libertà, Odio, Vendetta, Eternità" ("Freedom, Hatred, Revenge, Eternity")
Open to interpretation I guess

I only use reactions on Amethyst and never use likes on Primal nowadays.
I have no idea why social media apps never let me use whatever emojis I want.
Having likes alone will have distortionary effects on communication online and is too shallow.
