I might not be fully understanding how it works yet. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Yes you would manually list your npub as admin... And I think there are group leader roles that you can allow to invite others. You could also allow all members to be able to invite others, but I feel like that kinda defeats the purpose a little bit. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed With the flotilla zooid combo you whitelist npubs when each person joins by scanning a single use QR code that has the join the relay, join the group and get added to the whitelist all in one action. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed This is also on my list to experiment with. I believe flotilla with a zooid relay is currently the best bet... @nprofile…dgdk is still paving the way forward in this area I think. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Be the 0.01%. Sign the petition: npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed This is so appropriate. I often need to blow the dust out of my nostr client too 🙂 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Yea true. Lalo was a phenomenal villain. I liked the Nacho / Mike relationship and the constant stream of scheming from Jimmy. Kim was also such a bad ass. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Fantastic series. Better than Breaking Bad IMHO. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Make sure your cold storage Bitcoin keys have never touched an Internet connected device! npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Added to queue npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed No, should I? npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Epic. @nprofile…ymg0 broke @nprofile…wlyq wallet. 😎 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Costco? npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Same. 21 months since I've had a drink. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Oh wow, I hadn't done my homework on this yet, I didn't realize it was spark. I'll have to look into it more... I'll make this the Bitcoin Tech Topic at my next meetup, that'll ensure I take some time to figure it out 😎 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed @nprofile…5krg on Sound Coffee npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed This weekend I undertook my first tangible AI project that actually created something maybe kinda interesting. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed This was a great rip! Thanks @nprofile…3qdw ! npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed monstr is a great name 🔥 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed #nevent1q…92x6 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Boom! I think I'm all set up 🔥 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed It seemed equally terrible to all other Superbowl halftime shows to me. I literally never enjoy the halftime show. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Nostr DMs are the worst. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed What about Monero vs lightning... Different tradeoffs for Bitcoin there. Increased complexity and centralization but also increased privacy but it's still hard money that no one can fuck with. Similar story with ecash for Bitcoin... It's tradeoffs all the way down npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed It was faith in humanity... Makes sense that it's waning. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Hey I just made a bunch of changes to my lightning node, can I get a test zap? I will zap back. Thank you! npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Do you think he was talking about sats? I think @nprofile…eqct thought he was talking about sats. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Thank you for posting this. I appreciate people who prefer Monero because they all like Monero for the right reasons. I never know enough about the technicals to have an in depth discussion about privacy tradeoffs compared to lightning or ecash, but I normally point to Bitcoin as a SoV that can scale globally while Monero is really kinda limited to a payment method in small scale black and gray markets. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed FrFr npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed When you're stuck in traffic or stuck in line or in a waiting room somewhere, you are bleeding away minutes or hours from your life that you can never get back. When the system is designed to make you slower, less productive or spend more of your time where you don't want to be, it's costing you your most scarce resource, time. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed GM nostr ☕ PV 💜 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Definitely impossible. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Yes, no more war please. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Who remembers when we used to take pictures with a camera? npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed AI + YouTube = I can basically fix anything myself now 🙂 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Good call, didn't notice that the fees were different for different swaps. 👍 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Nostr DMs are the worst. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Yes, this is a good strategy for privacy, but it's not cheap. I'm your example of 100M sats (1BTC), it's 0.7% fee from boltz in both directions... So 700k sats into liquid and 700k sats out of liquid. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Dude! They said the same thing about JFK! npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Ok fam, shill me your 4th turning predictions. I need some more input to bring to my book club tonight. 🔥 #asknostr npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Its better to be a chicken in a garden than a... wait how does that one go? 😂 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Very much enjoying your recent writing. Keep it up. You're on the right path. Thank you. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Agree. And I can be vocal about how these MFers cannot be allowed to do whatever they want, but that's not enough to resolve a 4th turning. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Spiritual war. Totally agree. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Well said. I agree. I'm starting to feel like these MFers should be getting nervous. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed What's that supposed to mean? Like I literally have no idea. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed What does that even mean though? That's the point? The point of what? A 4th turning? npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed GM nostr ☕ PV 💜 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Good morning back. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed GM nostr ☕ PV 💜 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Seriously. Thank God Candace was banned, who knows what might have happened. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Once people start using Bitcoin to get around restrictions like this is when the "then they fight you" stage will really kick in... Ross and the Samurai devs are a tragedy, but we haven't seen anything yet IMHO. They will come after us and we will be blamed. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed The first of many 😂 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Most of them don't have a second post. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed https://nakamotoinstitute.org/mempool/everyones-a-scammer/ npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Everyone's a scammer. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed 21 sat zap should be the minimum IMHO. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed What's worse, and much more prevalent, are the casual racist and sexist libtard comments npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Then Bitcoin standard. 🫡 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Yea but before that Mechanic was flipping out that he got banned from the discussions on Core. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Didn't all of the drama largely start when Mechanic got banned from one of the Core discussions? Oh the hypocrisy. SMH npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed My question is what are they going to do to crash the markets enough to justify the emergency money printing 😬 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed https://blossom.primal.net/30feed603d5df005ceaace2f28b792842147317eb4f32e567bf023da8174b475.jpg npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed "Before, people prized the ability to divine nature's energy and use it. Today, we prize the ability to defy nature's energy and overcome it." npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed GM nostr ☕ PV 💜 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed It's the rate of increase that has me concerned... npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed #nevent1q…k5r9 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Should this say sold, or moved on chain... Big difference. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed 5000 words... 5000 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed GM nostr ☕ PV 💜 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Nothing I do related to Bitcoin brings in any revenue larger than my most popular GM note on nostr, so I'm not sure what I do counts as working on Bitcoin... But, when I do work on Bitcoin, it's more fun than anything else I can think of doing at that time, or at least that's how it feels to me 🙂 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed This looks great! I will share at my next Bitcoin meetup 🤙 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Good clarification, I thought the same thing. Terrible headline. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed I think, and maybe I'm being a little hyperbolic. Maybe, But I told him maybe. Tying to provoke him a little bit, that I thought Netanyahu was the chief villain of the wars in the middle east. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed GM nostr ☕ PV 💜 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Always a good place to start 🤙 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed GM nostr ☕ PV 💜 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Next year it'll be old enough to buy cigarettes! npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed They grow up so fast 🥲 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed GM nostr ☕ PV 💜 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Sounds cool though 🤙 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed People will say this is AI, but a man can hope, right 🤣 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed I have no idea but it'll probably be hard to define "activity maintained" there are so many abandoned nostr projects... npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Careful, it looks sharp 😉 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Oh, yea, like a vanilla sky scenario! Should try to call for tech support to pump the Bitcoin price for your simulation 😂 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Nice! Thank you! npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed GM nostr ☕ PV 💜 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed How is there no googly eye emoji? 👀 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Easy to use and build on I agree. But having had the opportunity to present and explain it to my meetup group, Im not sure it's as easy to understand as you think. npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed I want Bitcoin to stay the same so much that I'm willing to change it to keep it the same! 🤡 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Well we need them to start opening up 100x short positions 😂 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal." -Matthew 6:19 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed @nprofile…qnpk npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Pura Vida npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed GM nostr ☕ PV 💜 npub1xgyjasdztryl9sg6nfdm2wcj0j3qjs03sq7a0an32pg0lr5l6yaqxhgu7s Reed Agree, but you have all the full self custody strategies all also wrapped up in various forms of less than full self custody... I'm just saying to split it up into, you control all the keys, you control some of the keys, and you control none of the keys. Then you can talk more specifically about a score for each stack, because they'll all be different.
