Last Notes npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Closing my coin base account this week, fuck coinbase for this npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Help me out nostr fam. Trying to figure out payment flow for a client who can't handle much exchange risk (BTC vs USD value). I understand USDT can be sent/received over lightning now. Do the major exchanges actually support receiving USDT over lightning? Is there an easy way to get a LNURL/lightning address which can receive USDT? If a lightning channel with USDT is closed, do they somehow receive that USDT on chain? #asknostr #bitcoin npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 You can just use Zeus and connect it to a random cashu mint. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Shopstr npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Phoenix or Zeus, both support lightning, Zeus gives you a lot more control. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Crazy idea it will never work npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Haven't used blixt but Phoenix is a great first wallet. You'll experience lower fees and more control with Zeus. Zeus also supports cashu, your own channels (don't have to use their lsp if you don't want) etc You do not need your own lightning node to use Zeus, it comes with its own built in. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Tried to zap your comment but looks like you don't have zaps setup npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Wanting your man to just "listen" and "validate" but not "offer solutions" is like taking your grocery list to the hardware store. It's like getting mad that every time you go to the Subaru dealership, they don't try to sell you a Toyota. When I want emotional insight? I talk with women, because they tend to be better at listening, validating, and helping me understand what I feel. When I want solutions? I ask men. Don't ask people for things they are innately not good at providing and then get frustrated when they can't. I don't ask my mechanic friend about my taxes, and I don't ask my tax guy about my dating life. Play to your respective strengths and you'll have a prosperous, mutually beneficial relationship. Insist the other person act exactly as you would and at best you will get someone who can do what you do, but not quite as well. The therapy industry, which is compromised almost entirely of women, and which in many cases offers the service of "validating but not solving", unsurprisingly tells women that their men should do this as well. They say that this feminine form of listening is the "right" way. And when male partners don't listen the "right" way, their female partners get frustrated, which means more listening work for the therapist. Outside of having a diagnosable reason why you should need it on an ongoing basis, therapy should be something you enroll in for a limited period of time to help you gain better insight and coping skills for navigating everyday life and difficult transitions. Yet I know many people, mostly women, who are in "forever" relationships with their therapists with no end in sight. And take a cocktail of antidepressants and anti anxiety meds as well (1 in 5 women). The antidote to anxiety is ACTION. You gain confidence by DOING and surviving and knowing you will survive the next challenge. Talking about it should be the preparatory stage, not the ultimate one. Listening without solving has its virtue, but in the long run, someone who endlessly validates you while not holding you accountable or asking why you don't eliminate a persistent stressor in your life which has obvious solutions isn't someone being helpful, it's them enabling behavior patterns that are harmful to your well being and causing you recurring stress. Real love means wanting the best for someone and asking why they don't reach for it. It's asking hard questions. It's holding them accountable. It's not enabling. Listening and validating without challenge on a recurring basis is enabling. #relationships #dating #anxiety #therapy #growth npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Bitcart supports lightning but you must manually manage liquidity and it doesn't give you a lnurl npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Zeus npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Powerful speech on Iran from 11 years ago from now Secretary of State Marco Rubio. #politics #iran https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_UHgUlLKAgU npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 I personally also don't worry about this, if they leave then probably wasn't anything I coulda done about it. I just be myself and if that isn't a compatible enough match then obv it wasn't meant to me npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Sounds like you are very secure in your relationships which is a great thing, many of the people I've dated have this anxiety. Though the ones with the highest levels of this anxiety I notice tend to be the monogamous types npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 🤔 Who are they texting? 🤔 Who is this friend of the opposite sex they have? 🤔 What about that one at work who they seem to be getting a little too friendly with? 🤔 Is their behavior crossing the line into "technically" cheating? Am I crazy for being worried about it? Maybe it's "micro-cheating". 💝Monogamy sells us a story that it is valuable because it quells the anxiety that our partner may leave. But all it does is push that anxiety to another place. ⏩Instead of worrying about how you compare to their other partners or options they're interacting with, you worry about whether they're cheating 🚨And if you ask them? Your relationship structure incentivizes them to lie about it, which gives you even more good reason to worry. Instead of an honest answer, which they could give in a polyamorous context, they now may act weird even if nothing weird is going on simply because they worry you're going to interpret it wrong. 🎯In polyamory, you worry your partner may leave you for a better option. In monogamy, you worry your partner may leave you for a better option and lie to you the entire time about it before they actually do. It's clear to me which of those is worse. 😎Your anxieties and insecurities are the problem, not the relationship structure. Choosing monogamy over polyamory to solve your anxieties is no more effective than insisting you can go through your partner's phone, it gives you a very temporary feeling of control but ultimately will likely only end up fueling your anxieties in the long run and doesn't solve the root issue. A partner who knows their phone gets looked through likely isn't going to let themselves get caught cheating this way, but what is likely to happen is for you to see a text your anxiety can latch onto and spiral with. 😘 Real security comes from recognizing and fighting your own anxieties and choosing partners who demonstrate security and commitment on a regular basis. It comes from being the best partner you can be so that your partner never wants to leave. People who put energy there instead of into anxiety have much happier relationships and reduce the chance of cheating in the first place. 🔐 Security also comes from acknowledging that most relationships are temporary, so we should enjoy them while we have them, and that some day we probably, statistically, will be replaced. Or at the very least, even if we stay together, the person we know now will not exist in ten years because they will have changed, loss is inevitable. #relationships #monogamy #polyamory #dating #anxiety npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Doesn't support lightning npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 They said the privacy functions were nice but that all the normal day to day stuff worked as normal npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 I haven't gone down the setup route, that's just the answer I got when asking someone I knew who runs graphene npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 My answer from asking someone else this same question this week is "yes, you'll just have to click accept on permission prompts as they happen and it's all fairly graceful" npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 It's like a square, but smoother and more enjoyable to touch npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Tbh could easily be half the people I've met on nostr npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Just zapped ya npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Apologies for the slow response, yes embedded LND.

Some wallets force you to open a channel to their node and charge more routing fees (like Phoenix). But other like Zeus do not, even if they do offer their own node/lsp as an option. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Open a channel: same cost as an on chain transaction so.. ten cents US. Make lightning transactions using channels: limitless transactions back and forth at 0-1%, sometimes literally zero. Close a channel: on chain tx, another ten cents npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 No, put it on different hardware or in a VM. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 My understanding (in case of activation without chain split) is that the technical risk is shutting out some use cases which are in current or planned use such as BitVM. Im not knowledgeable enough to say feature x or y won't work, but generally, if we want more complex scripting abilities, limiting the place that information can live will limit that ability. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 I bought Bitcoin in 2026, I won't need to make money in 20 years. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 For anyone on Linux who wants a good desktop #bitcoin #lightning wallet and has been frustrated that there were one, electrum just got an upgrade that makes lightning work way better than before. It was literally unusable before due to routing failures, now it at least works. Still crazy that it's the only viable option for desktop users. Though if you can run waydroid and run Zeus in it, that's still your best bet. #zeus #waydroid npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Just wanted to report a bug, I'm on this version from play store. Idk if this was happening before but I just noticed this week. I don't see any transactions since Feb 28 in the activity window, though I know I've sent a couple thousand sats in a couple different transactions. I wonder if I've hit some kind of limit because I've been using this wallet for 1+ year w at least one zap a day. So there's a lot of history. Lightning channel balances seem correct, just seems to be an issue with the tx list. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Thank you! npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Are there any decent LLMs for coding that can be run entirely local on a consumer grade GPU? #asknostr #vibecoding npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Strike offers this and also offers flexible lines of credit starting next month. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 There aren't really best practices yet aside from isolate as much as you can to prevent against prompt injections/bad results npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 We can't seem to convince many of these countries to take back their own citizens, their descendants are a non-starter. If you think birthright citizenship is bad, the place to prevent it is at the border, not at the birth end. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Logistical reality matters more here than philosophy. Even if birthright citizenship was dumb and we didn't want it, what are we going to do with those people? We can't deport them, no other country wants them either, especially since they're not from any country except for this one. We could pay another country to keep them as prisoners, that raises obvious ethical issues as well as economic ones, isn't it better to roll the dice that they might contribute to GDP instead of guaranteeing they're a net negative on it? Worst case scenario, they end up being bad citizens and then we can pay ourselves or someone else to jail them. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 I feel conflicted about voting/donating strategy in my area (US) and would appreciate some outside perspective. One party here is absolutely dominant, regularly winning with 70%+ of the vote and one or nobody running against them. They occasionally have completive primaries. I am currently registered with this party so I can vote in their primaries since the primaries essentially determine the outcome of general elections. I don't like the other big party here either. They don't have competitive primaries at all, and whoever wins the primary has no chance of winning in the generals. There is a third party I like a lot more, but has the same problems to an even greater degree. I feel most aligned with this party, both of the two major parties feel pretty equally aligned/misaligned with this party. I would register with this third party, but doing so would prevent me from voting in the primary for the dominant party. I have no desire to donate to the main political party or the second, but donating to the third feels like pissing in the wind. I could see donating to primary candidates or maybe it makes more sense just to donate to causes/PACs around specific issues instead of candidates. Which primary would you vote to participate in? How would you vote in the generals and how would you decide who to donate to?

We now have a government-run pedophile ring so expansive that prosecuting the people involved would potentially collapse our entire government, and at the same time, we have California passing a law requiring your operating system (Android, Linux, Windows, whatever) to verify your age and provide that information to apps installed on your own devices. The irony here is that the developer of the world's second most popular operating system (Bill Gates) is implicated in all this too as a customer of Epstein's. As are execs at other major tech companies. Their rationale for this bill is of course "to protect children". This is absolute tyrannical bullshit that will do nothing to increase the safety of children but grinds the gears forward to the total elimination of free, private speech. If anything, laws like this will make it easier for children to be targeted for abuse. You shouldn't need to provide an ID to use your own computer or access the internet.

You will hear from people working in roles where they frequently interact with the public like cashiers or customer support reps that "people are idiots". One variant I hear a lot is "people can't read". It's easy to see why one might come to this conclusion, especially given concerning trends in American literacy, but they're actually wrong and here's why. Imagine you are a customer support rep being asked the most basic-ass question you can imagine from your customer. You know this question was covered in BIG BOLD LETTERS at the top of the email you JUST SAW THEM READ. How could they miss it? And how could customers so consistently miss this? Because it's not the first time a customer has asked you this question. Let's do a thought experiment to explore. Imagine that your customers are EXCELLENT readers. Let's assume that 99% of the time, they will have a perfect recollection of what they read and that every time, without fail, they read the e-mails you send them. Even in this unrealistic scenario, 1% of readers will still need you to repeat something they read. 1 in every hundred of these nearly perfect readers will ask you a dumbass question. If you are interacting with hundreds of customers a week, you will inevitably encounter a few of these customers and you will reasonably come to the conclusion that "people can't read". On some days, even if you only interact with 100 customers, you will get multiple customers with this problem because streaks are inevitable in random draws. The larger your sample size, the greater the chance that you will encounter a rare event (the 1% of customers who can't recall what they read). Because this is rare and notable, you are more likely to remember it vs the 99 customers who passed through without incident, which causes you to perceive it as more common than it is. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 I will die on the hill that Bitcoin continues to miss a MAJOR opportunity with having lower programmability. Having sovereign money is cool, having sovereign money you can program is even cooler. Eth was only allowed to grow and flourish because Bitcoin didn't have these features. We now have BitVM and other solutions but I don't see anybody building on them, and I'm not sure why. And now BIP110 crowd seems adamant about closing the hay doir. It's a shame, there is no reason Bitcoin shouldn't be the L1 for everything. Money isn't just money. Money is also loans, money is also group decision-making about how to spend money. That requires programmability. Eth is centralizing garbage, we obviously can't store full smart contracts on chain, but they should be pinnable to base chain and should be able to use BTC natively. We also wouldn't be having this debate about "spam" if main chain was full of transactions from useful smart contracts, Eth currently gets those fees instead. #bitcoin #nevent1q…42d9 npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Hours??

Ark, lightning, etc keep the transaction data off chain and only record final states of those utxos/coins, not intermediate states. Coinjoin: me and x other people sign a joint transaction containing all of our relevant utxos. Ark/lightning/etc: me and another party open a channel using two relevant utxos. Infinity transactions take place within those channels (off chain) and through other channels. Final balance of channel is recorded to onchain. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Got my tetanus shot today 💪 so if y'all were planning on killing me w tetanus y'all gonna have to go back to the drawing board npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 After spending a half dozen hours researching BIP-110, I still don't have any strong opinions.

It's not right or wrong, it just is. But why is it this way? - The world has a liberal bias. There are way more people on team blue than team red, because urban areas tend to be liberal and most people live in urban areas. This means the bulk of written material in existence online will have a liberal bend to it. AI is not intelligent yet, it just gives you the most likely result. If 90% of your sources are liberal, 90% of your output will be too. - LLMs were largely trained on data from reddit, which has taken a strong turn to the left over the past few years. Social media platforms in general are mostly owned by liberal leaning people and companies with some notable opposite exceptions (x and truth social). Just something to be aware of. How to correct for this bias? - ask for it to provide alternative viewpoints - seek out different LLMs with different bias setpoints. Just like media consumption, look at stories from different news sources and you'll find the truth is often somewhere in the middle. - run your own LLMs and train them on your own datasets. This becoming more of a feasible reality every day. #ai #chatgpt #grok npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Super productivity is amazing 🤩 npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 For kyc use strike, no trading fees if you DCA.

During Trump's election, Dems ignored crypto lobbying money, and crypto outspent big pharma and swung elections. Dems won't be making that mistake again, big pharma never loses a legislative fight.

Bitcoin is the ONLY system designed by humans with this property: it does not grant special favors to the rich and powerful, it does not bend to their will. Bitcoin is going to do what Bitcoin is going to do no matter how much you have or how rich/powerful you are. It is the most fair, most democratic, most stable system ever made by human hands. Nature is abundant with systems like this, physics governs their rules. Being a rich and powerful human does not make you any less subject to the laws of gravity, the passage of time, or the inevitability of death. Which is why Bitcoin's strength comes from physics and math. It's not a separate system from nature, it's an extension of it. Bitcoin will print 21 million coins total, you can't make it print more. It won't accept fake or false transactions, you can't make it. It won't let you seize anybody else's funds or censor transactions. Ever. No matter who you are. And that's exactly why rich and powerful people don't want you to use it. Which is exactly why we must. #bitcoin npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Look I have no idea what I'm doing ok 35 years ago I was born and now I'm sending you all letters with a television that fits in my hand and what even is a deductible and why doesn't it help on my taxes npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Zeus npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 I like iris.to npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Nostr is not designed for storing big blobs of data, but relaying small text notes.

This was an online only group, we communicated only via text. This was a place where all participants could be freed of the oppressive bias of patriarchy, sexism, racism, and ableism. Here, behind text-only monikers, each of us could be judged, as Dr Martin Luther King said, by the "content of our character" or the quality of our work. 🤔 Surely, the DEI crowd, the avowed anti-racists, the people with diversity flags in their usernames, the people who had steeped themselves in knowledge about how to combat bias and discrimination would relish this environment. Except they did not. Instead, on day one, they insisted that all of us include our pronouns in our online nicknames and let everybody know what oppressed groups we belonged to. Because as always with these people, it isn't about equality, it's about deciding which in-group we're going to put on top this time. It's about weaponizing the language of bias against everybody else. It was absolutely ludicrous. 🧠 There is undoubtedly value in understanding the world from other people's perspectives and being aware of how implicit biases in ourselves and the systems we navigate impact other people. There is nothing more human than doing the same thing and having totally different subjective experiences, and then sharing these experiences with others. But that's not what this was. 🎯 Until the "left" expels this kind of thinking from their circles, they will continue to lose elections and the faith of moderate, reasonable people. Anybody who is truly dedicated to a more egalitarian future, to a world where one's skin color or gender shouldn't impact your access to opportunity, needs to be extremely cautious of thinking where we treat people differently based on these aspects of their identity. Many political commentators have suggested that disgust with this kind of rhetoric is part of why Trump won the last election, and I think there's absolutely some truth to that. ⚠️ Competitive victimhood is a mental illness. And it is driving people away from otherwise good ideas held by progressives. We need to do better. npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Nice npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Shopstr npub1hce578d83hff5c594p2pysunkhw24k3z7lj5czkd2vafs04y6v8q9ayrcy 21_21_21 Q: How come I never see you at the bar?
