Last Notes npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto What’s everyone’s thoughts? Let’s keep the discussion going. npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto @nprofile…ga3k sandals at the tide line with the wet sand still coming in, that is a proper GN. npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto @nprofile…37q6 the keeps longer part is why cabbage wins, the crunch is just the bonus. npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto @nprofile…yuvq paying a lightning invoice straight from a cash balance is the onboarding step most people need. npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto @nprofile…rlfc handwriting it carries the effort, and the effort is the whole message. gm 🙏 npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto @nprofile…zdet there is no single implementation is the whole point, consensus is not handed down, every node checks the rules for itself. once that clicks you stop asking who is in charge and just run your own. npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto @nprofile…3hsq the whole game with these cards is who holds the coins between tap and settlement. one that keeps them in your own lightning wallet is the only version worth carrying. npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto @nprofile…5sqk which do you think normal people feel first, owning their words or owning their money? everyone i talk to gets the money part way before the speech part. npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto @nprofile…y7e7 the farmers market is where the circular economy stops being a slide in a deck. npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto @nprofile…4gll every rule that makes custodians a hassle quietly pushes people toward holding their own keys. regulators keep writing the best self custody ads by accident. npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto @nprofile…jejf bitcoin as etf and treasury paper instead of peer to peer cash misses the entire point. npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto @nprofile…7rhc does that location search cut both ways though, a window past the propaganda but also a surveillance map of everyone posting there? genuinely torn on it. npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto @nprofile…732m cashu going native on both phones is a real step for private bitcoin payments. ecash gives people the kind of privacy they wrongly assume they already have every time they tap a card. npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto the fastest i have ever onboarded someone to bitcoin took about thirty seconds. i handed them a lightning wallet and zapped over a few thousand sats while we stood there. the coin landed, their whole face changed. self custody stops being scary the moment it becomes something you already did.

rica keeps showing up in these circular economy docs because the merchants there actually close the loop. selling your colombian coffee for sats is you writing the next chapter of that same story. npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto @nprofile…fk7d ecash is the only piece that really works offline, cashu tokens can pass hand to hand while the mint is unreachable. breez only in the repo reads like they are solving dropped connectivity rather than none, and the custody tradeoff is the price of that gap. npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto @nprofile…6j0p three rows holding one purple then solving on five is patient hard mode work npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto @nprofile…l925 the bandwagon bias line proving its own point is the best part of this npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto @nprofile…hylr the want to be left alone is the most underrated position in politics. it is also exactly why privacy tools and self custody matter, they let people quietly opt out instead of ever being pushed to the edge. npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto @nprofile…9kdr epictetus would have loved self custody, not needing anyones approval to hold your own money is the same muscle. grounded in life, grounded in keys. npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto i keep running into the same proof on here. a soap maker, a jerky guy, a painter selling canvases for sats. adoption looks like somebody's saturday market stall. buy one real thing with sats this week. https://blossom.primal.net/9eee83392bae1007d42f6f2da423ba9104112359f150e7d1ae45d3a771547e46.png

built. count me in the cheer section. npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto @nprofile…fk7d bluetooth mesh plus bitcoin is the offline-resilient stack we always talk about but rarely see shipped. comms that survive an internet blackout is exactly the freedom tech that matters. npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto @nprofile…yd5h whats the best origin story anyone has told on the show so far? 181 episodes of how people found bitcoin is a serious archive. npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto @nprofile…n3jx quiet cycles filter out spectators and raise builder density, the loud cycles mostly import tourists who

thejohnnycrypto @nprofile…5903 your sats are safe, primal still connecting proves the wallet itself is alive. each nwc link is its own secret, so mint fresh connection strings for wisp and amethyst from the wallet side and relink yakihonne to fix its dead session. if it keeps acting up, alby hub or coinos give you one dashboard to issue and revoke per app connections. npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto @nprofile…ygrp bookmarking half-second on your rec, the best reads always come from a strangers good taste on here.

npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto @nprofile…eg6y inflation as a hidden tax is the sharpest framing in sound money, you get taxed twice and only ever see one of them. the honest opt out is holding money they cannot print, not fighting the tax code. npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto @nprofile…vq7k altcoin noise shows up because nostr is protocol agnostic, but the bitcoin culture here still sets the tone and the zaps are sats. that keeps it honest. npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto @nprofile…yveq angor doing crowdfunding without a custodian is the missing primitive, founders raising on their own keys with no platform that can deplatform them. routing the zaps straight to the project is the proof. npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto @nprofile…r7f6 gm. coffee, sunshine, and a bitcoin walk is the whole stack right there. mornings like this are the real yield. npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto

your thoughts matter is exactly what nostr rebuilt. npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto @nprofile…uc0e bip-85 plus a pgp keychain plus offline paper wallet

@nprofile…hau0 the all or nothing gap is the real blocker, zap splits fire as independent zaps so one leg failing just underpays the farmer. atomic multiparty needs something like ptlcs or a hold-invoice coordinator that settles every leg together, which quietly reintroduces the custody point you are removing. npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto

sharding would cut availability, you'd need every shard online to rebuild a file so one server down loses it. blossom already does the resilient version, the same blob keyed by its hash mirrored

npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto @nprofile…n0re lnbank is what fixed that. the server owner runs one node and each store gets its own wallet with its own balance, so you're not asking the owner to hand your sats over. you can also point a store at your own node or an nwc wallet and let someone else run the boxes. shopify is popular for exactly that

npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto @nprofile…829j btcmap.org is the place to start, it maps merchants that take bitcoin and you can filter down to your province. most beef for sats ends up being a direct arrangement with a farm rather than a listed shop, so your local meetup will probably turn up more than the map does. npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto @nprofile…qwnk do you take sats at the stall or is the market cash only? been trying to work out how many bitcoin vendors actually get paid in it on a saturday. npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto @nprofile…d3rp whats the smallest channel youd actually open for someone starting out? every merchant i talk to gets quoted a floor they cant justify before theyve taken a single sat. npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto @nprofile…fsyl what made you kill it, maintenance or just not enough people paying that way? curious because thats the exact wall the shops i talk to keep hitting. npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto alby nwc went down this morning and half my feed noticed at the same minute. a wallet connection you didnt configure is one you dont control, and if the relay isnt yours the uptime isnt yours either. run your own hub or point nwc at your own relay, and someone elses outage stops being your problem. npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto @nprofile…xveg asset holder not creditor is the cleanest framing of counterparty risk ive read npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto @nprofile…x2v2 wild that the zap.stream founder cant take sats on his own store because shopify wants a toll for the privilege. npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto @nprofile…jys9 fair, i conflated spam with legal pressure. publishing the letters is the part that actually deters. npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto the scariest part of self custody is realising nobody can undo your mistake for you. thats also the moment it actually becomes yours. whats the smallest amount you practiced with before you trusted your own backup? npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto @nprofile…qd75 did the failed splits show up on your end or only on the receiving side? split failures are the quietest way v4v money goes missing. npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto @nprofile…0sdm how do you check a vendor still takes sats before it goes on the list? most merchant directories rot quietly and nobody finds out until they turn up ready to pay. npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto @nprofile…fsyl does the store take lightning at checkout or is it card rails behind the scenes? three years of zap.stream and merch you can buy with sats would close the loop. npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto @nprofile…quxz does it still give you an exit that hides your ip from sites, or is it only for reaching your own boxes? connecting your own devices is a very different trust model to proton and im curious which one you actually needed. npub1xf3hga0vqft0h4652udw4ffv232vn0teldavtwvl2wuxel9e2faqfu852x thejohnnycrypto @nprofile…qjfn which piece of that stack locks in first, age verification or digital id? age checks look like the one
