Last Notes npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 I've been working hard on a new business for a year. Been working 7 days a week for months. Got my first two sales today and it's a relief. Some random thoughts before I head to bed. - I'm a good coach in my domain, enough to make a living in the domain. But without my business coach I'd be screwed. Having a set of eyes on what you're doing is so important. He's the best - honest, but very tactful with is feedback, which makes it easy to take. I get credit for taking almost all of it because he's the coach and I'm coachable. We're now friends outside of the working relationship and that's neat too. - The 4% Stripe is taking pisses me off. I'm used to having to pay just over 2.6% in transaction fees, but for this, it's 4%. - I've riden my bike - very slow - most days this month. Consistency in that area has been so great to sustain the effort. - I work in Codex and Claude Code every day. And there still is so much to learn with what they do well and what they do poorly, and how you have to be strategic about how you use them in tandem. - Codex browser control and computer control is still vodoo. Excited to listen to the @nprofile…wmw0 podcast with Matt Hill in the coming days. Might need to drive to get the dog some special bones to celebrate and listen on the way. I have no idea what the bitcoin prices have been the past week, which is a good thing for me. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 👍 👊 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Claude cowork is powerful because of browser control. Claude Code is great. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Worked from 7 am to 9pm ish most days with Codex - save for a bike ride and walking the dog and cooking for the kids. Grinding is good for me. Been doing this for months. Gotta add some weight at some point. Have a great weekend. 👊 PS - The best Codex unlock for me is to have it control Claude Code via VS Code and then have it report back. Very useful because while Codex is a decent writer and it's frontend design is decent, obviously Claude is much better. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Another wild Friday night with a new AI model. 😂 Anthropic Opus 5 came out today. We'll see how good it is. The big unlock for me the past 10-14 days is using Codex for everything, but having it open up Claude Code in VS Code to do work I want it to do. Better than me going back and forth. Browser control is still blowing my mind, especially for boring inbox tasks and admin tasks. #ai #claude #codex #opus5 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Two things. My teenager hiked a 14,000 ft peak - 4,300m for my metric friends. They drove up the interstate and were at the trailhead at 5:45 am. Very cool. Also my first 14er when I was their age. Her dad has Codex and Claude Code with Fable 5 open now. The hack: ask Codex to open Fable 5 in VS Code and direct it from there, then have it come back with what it finds. Maybe this is obvious to everyone else, but wasn't to me. Trying to use up all my tokens on Fable 5 before it goes to API only on Monday. It's done a wild design project. It's so far ahead of Codex in that way. Follow Nate B. Jones on YouTube for daily AI videos. #ai #codex #claudecode npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 I work with four AIs every day: Codex, Claude Code, Perplexity Computer, Claude in the regular chat. Including when I'm on the basement computer riding the stationary bike. Good willing I'll "touch pedal" this fall on some trails. I'm a wild time to be alive. A bit scary, but most exciting. Codex went back to our work since the first of the year yesterday and gave me an audit. I used a prompt that I always use when things are important. "Don't tell me what you think I want to hear - be honest." I got an A- for my skill as a middle age teacher who can't code. Got a C as a developer. Got a D+ for essentially knowing what the hell I should be doing. 😂 On a serious note, we now have a skill that checks in every day to make sure I'm getting one step better each day. I'm teaching it to be both a helpful, encouraging coach and firm about progress every week. It's so neat that you can give it aspects of what you know will be helpful. I've always been a couple notches more curious than that average bear, and that's a real gift right now. Looking forward to getting this new business launched - and it has to work, as the current one is nearing the end that I've seen coming for two years and then setting up a sovereign computing option by the end of the year. The obvious one is a custom health app that I connect to every day, but it also has blood work, doctor's visits, and things like that. Onward. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Those are some healthy looking greens. You must have put some time into preparing that soil. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Gm 😀☕️👊 #nevent1q…ttk6 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Needed to hear this today. Thank you.🙏🏻 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Could you make a demo on how to connect the private version of this model to something like VS Code? Or said another way, how do you set this up to be used for real work? Excited to try this. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Thank YOU for all of your posts. I hope you had a great holiday. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Happy 4th of July to all the Americans reading this. I joined the @nprofile…lajl block party. 😀 1 in 3 odds!

Hopefully you'll do the same. He's postal carrier in Wisconsin. He's a gardener and a guy who built the house he lives in. I just love reading his updates. nprofile1qqswjg96cernvkat9umjjnqdsqdpez0jp88q5uyc6ctrul57gvhdj0s05f839 #fridayfollow #grownostr #nevent1q…5vaq #nevent1q…xeyw #nevent1q…z993 #nevent1q…3ysa npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Brilliant! I assume green chili? npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Thanks for the photos. I've always ridden squeaky bikes too! 😀 I hope to post some #bikestr photos later this year too. Here's to a long summer of long rides! 👊 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 And you priced some things in sats when people asked too, and other things in btc. Love it. 👊 I hope to stop by in person some day. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Gm 😀 ☕ 👊 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Fun fact: Matt Hill, @nprofile…06f3 founder, was a very good 800m runner in high school in the US. He about 1:56, which back in the early 2000s was very good. He did this in Colorado and there is a slight adjustment for the 5200 ft elevation (1600m) - roughly .5 sec. If he'd run internationally he'd have been 1:55ish in U18 athletics, which was solid at the time. The 800m is a brutal event - 2 laps on a track. You feel decent for the first 400m, then gets hard, and the last 200m/half a lap is pure pain. Tough guy. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Well, that's kind of annoying to hear because you're thinking much clearer than I am. 😂 Also, I need to think about "teach less, model more." I do know that at this point with my teenagers all I can do is be the best version of myself and have that be a model for their behavior. Gone are the teaching days (for the most part). npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 All of these are great, but especially "consume less, create more" Thanks for this. 🙏 👊 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Gm 😀 ☕ 👊 I love getting Seth Godin's emails each morning. This is a good prompt for me to have a hard-ish conversation after this weekend. "It’s difficult to ride a bicycle in the pitch darkness. We need to see where we’re going to avoid obstacles. And it’s hard to maintain our balance. When we choose to avoid the conversations that make us uncomfortable, we’re pedaling in the dark. Talk about it. Turn on the lights." Have a great day! https://seths.blog/2026/07/left-unsaid/ npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Gm 😀☕️👊 I love this photo. Have a great day! npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Twitter/X - "Reposts are not endorsements" is in a lot of people's bios. Okay, fair, but I'm not sure it needs to be said. I find it odd. Nostr - Zaps. That's it. Reposts are great and really important, but you can just sap things. We're so trained on the outside to like or comment or repost, but here you can just zap. I'm not sure what my point is, other than I have 50k followers across platforms "on the outside" and the longer I'm here the sillier that system feels. Though, to the be fair, subscribers don't matter nearly as much as they did when I got most of those subs. Matching your content with what the person is interested in - "Interest media" not "social media" - is the name of the game, which I'm grateful for. I still need to post to help the business, and while it's a hamster wheel, I'm grateful to have work to do. #nostr #v4v #sats npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 It's so much fun to be able to do this stuff. I agree, and the Dexa is well worth the price. I don't think I need to do it more than once a year, although I'm tempted to try to do it twice a year because it's such a gut check. I've either progressed or I haven't, and I'm not sure that you can really see the results in the mirror in the same way you can see them on that scan. Also, at my age, the bone information is really important. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 So fun to read this this morning. I vibe coded an health and fitness app yesterday. Initially I didn't have a way to upload years of DEXA scans, so I added that. Should have the first version ready by the end of the day. Need to add something for bloodwork. I'm going to host it locally, then use Tailscale to connect to it. Going to have an SQLite database for it, which I've never set up. I might try StartTunnel from @nprofile…06f3 but I struggled to get that set up the other night, though it was late and I was tired. Bottom line is I couldn't agree more. #ai npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Gm 😀☕️👊 Glad to be starting the second half of the year. First half I worked as hard as I have since my 20s from a work perspective. July and August will be just as intense - and perhaps more so - but hopefully this fall I’m on my bike in the hills once a week and into a groove that’s sustainable for years to come. I really liked this take by @nprofile…3kkv. Need to read it again later today. Have a great day. #nevent1q…xg3v npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 How are you using agents for your work and non-work projects? I'm using Codex with multiple conversations/projects, but I haven't used Hermes. I was all in on OpenClaw in Feb but got frustrated when it broke all the time. Also, it was a time suck. I'm shocked at how many smart friends haven't even dipped their toe in. And these are curious people. The two big unlocks for me are how useful Perplexity Computer can be for many things, and how I can use Claude Code to check Codex's work. And I guess a third is to make .html file for anything important that I want to see. Sometimes it's a dashboard, but sometimes it's just so I can see what the hell is going on. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 AI is wild. Since I woke up this morning... - Codex and Claude code working on a big project - which requires both. - I take my younger kid to sports practice and needed to spend a couple of hours at the coffee shop. Talked to Codex via the phone and it continued to work on the task I started at home, connected to my desktop computer at home. It eventually hit a road block, but only after it did a solid 90 min of work. - I opened up Perplexity Computer at the coffee shop and had it search YT videos of band work recommended by @nprofile…hmmc after I posted about working out being hard at 50. Very nice of him and others to offer advice. I put in my age and injury history and what I do and don't like to do from the list that @nprofile…657k shared. I sent it the link to a general strength and mobility routine I like. It searched these things in parallel and worked fast, knowing that it only needed Anthropic Sonnet 4.6 to do this work, and not Opus 4.8, which is what it was using to do the main design. Then I said I needed creatine, per nprofile1qqsw0m2xx0mcl620v4a0q8hcq8328y6jwqy6dltcjyq0wdc2q2935zqwy6hfq recommendatio. It liked the Thorne brand a bit more than Momentous, so I went that route. Then I had it make a spect for an app that will create a strength and mobility plan for me to do after I ride my bike - with fonts I like - so I could hand off to Codex when I got home. It'll count macros and I can simply take photos of my food or my watch data when I get off the bike (I don't care a lot about the watch data, but I might in 60-90 days). - Got home and walked the dog - we just meander because he gets to sniff at any and all spots - and talked to Codex about a fun little side project. It created a folder on my desktop for this project, and for me it's pure voodoo to see that folder on my desktop when I get back home. - I had Perplexity Computer research inexpensive bookkeeping solutions. Now back to the desk with Codex and Claude Code working. I need to set up the SSH like this article outlines to make all of this more efficient: https://littlemight.com/how-to-run-ai-agents-across-multiple-macs/ Or maybe I can do that with @nprofile…06f3 StartTunnel - https://docs.start9.com/start-tunnel/1.0.x/ Bottom line is it's all moving so fast, and it's a lot of fun. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 And I missed the block height in the corner the first time. Nice touch. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Love this… npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Thank you! I got some powder arriving soon. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Fantastic advice. The key for me is not being too sore to move the next day. And my back isn’t great. I was really into kettlebells for a few years. Even did “kettlebell juggling” but even with good form my back was a mess. I have a distance runner frame so I have to be careful. Hope you’re well. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 👍 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Gm 😀☕️👊 How cool are the responses to this note? I wasn’t looking for encouragement or thoughtful training tips, but I got both. Grateful to be on Nostr. Have a great day. #nevent1q…ptjk npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 This is awesome. Thanks so much for taking the time to write this. I really appreciate this. 🙏🏻👊 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 “All the things” indeed. It’s funny, as I wrote back to you I wondered if you had a mediation practice. The 10 min mid-day is something I should do too. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 So nice of you to share this. I see your kettlebells in your photos. #proofofwatts is my new favorite hastag. I just ride my bike - I need to add the list of things you mentioned, which I've done most of at times. And I do know how to listen to my body - I just got out of the habit of daily exercise and now have a 'fat suit" to shed. I ran a lot in my 20s and early 30s - I've got a bit over 30k miles on the body - and had to learn the "listen to your body or else" lesson once my kids were born. Finally, while they seem unrelated, 15 min of meditation in the a.m. is crucial to be my best self. It's easy to say I don't have time for that. Take care. 👊 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 I keep hearing about it, and I wrongly assumed it was a bit of hype. I'll get some! Thanks for the encouragement and for taking the time to send the photo. 🙏 👊 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Working out in your 50s is humbling. AND, I’m grateful to have a functioning body that can put in a bit of work. But the tricky thing is I can’t train very hard if I want to be able to train the next day. My metric for success is simple: if my face is sweating it counts. Gone are the days - for now - where I can enjoy trail runs like @nprofile…akam in the Rocky Mountains ⛰️ But the hope is to be back on the mtn bike for some easy rides by the fall. Drip by drip. #pow #bikestr npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Agree with this 💯 (as someone who doesn’t own any, btw). npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 GM 😀 ☕ 👊 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 GM 😀 ☕ 👊 I'm definitely of the age where I watched a lot of that as a kid.

Looking forward to the photos of dinner when the garden and the beef join forces. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 How did I miss this 5 months ago?! It’s exceptional. I look forward to any and all shots from the summer months. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 I feed my family with beef that @nprofile…qv3x raised and it's so neat to see what the ranch looks like. This is a great example of what the westerns slope of Colorado looks like. The eastern plains of Colorado, where some of my family is from, is flatter than Kansas. In the middle is the rocky mountains in the middle, with 58 peaks over 14,000 ft (4,200m). But most people don't know much about the western slope, where @nprofile…6un7 makes wine and Jason raises cattle. I hope to visit the vineyard and the ranch at some point. Related, it could be a brutal fire season here in Colorado - we had so little snow this winter. #nevent1q…ddg9 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 I love this Jason. If you have the time please keep doing these videos. They’re great. And the type of content we need on Nostr. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Some people do a ground beef/organ mix that’s 80/20 or so. I got some of that this fall and loved it in chilli. It’s so great you’re getting beef that close to the source. @nprofile…gf27 is a rancher on the western slope that I got my beef from. So cool to be able to eat meat I purchased with bitcoin. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Looks fantastic. Really nice that they package them in smaller portions. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 The podcast tour he's going on has been so good. His backstory is fascinating. Also, the fact that he gets @nprofile…w6hy kits and makes them himself is something you're not going to find with people who understand mNav (which I don't). So glad I found his channel. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 GM 😀☕️👊 Another day, another “Target Price Buy Order Executed” email.

Only $11 in yearly savings if I got a coffee weekly. And only $240 a year if two people a day get a coffee and pastry. This pace is inexpensive - $3.75 coffee and $8-$9 for a coffee and pastry - so at the average places in the area it’s be more. But he’s going to South America and he’s going to do some more research. So net positive interaction.

It was awesome. Thanks for the memory. 🙏🏻👊 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Great! Thank you. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Hey @nprofile…etsy team. I use Claude Code and Codex daily. I'm comfortable in the terminal with both. But what I want to do now is connect the GLM 5.2 Private model to either the terminal or perhaps use it in VS Code. Simple put, if I want private model experiences like the ones I have in Claude Code and Codex how can I use your API. Thanks! #ai #claudecode #codex npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 GM 😀 ☕ 👊 Happy Father's Day to all the fathers. Mine kids are really growing up. One is on a foreign language immersion trip in another country, and the other got up at 6:15 a.m. to be at their job at the farmers market, loading bins of produce off a truck. I'm really grateful for who they are, and I need to do a better job the rest of this summer taking them on trips, cooking for them, and spending time with them. I heard a wise woman tell me that parents who question if they're doing a good enough job are the ones who really are doing a good job. I question my parenting often. I'm sure that's not going to go over well here, because I feel like a lot of people are very certain about things in on Nostr - parenting being just of of them. If the primary reason I'm stacking is for my kids and their kids, it is interesting how there's always so much I can be doing better as a father. Regardless, I hope everybody has a great day. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 I'd rather have sats than any of these, but this is interesting... June 2024 to June 2026 - first picture. But what about when bitcon was $1,000? November 2013 to June 2026 in the second image. To me that's much more honest than going back to any time earlier, when most people hadn't heard about it. And it's so clean. If you had $1,000 and went all in you'd have 100 million sats. Now let's say you went back 5 years, to June 2021... But if you waited to buy in November of 2021 the story is different - you bought the high. If you bought four years ago you're up 32.5% Glad I stacked today, and glad I got to pay with sats for my coffee and burrito this morning. #bitcoin https://blossom.primal.net/5e7fd3e2dce0f8dab1f8d2b97a08355f7cb1a61d0ab14b5ff77c560fcc4c166d.png https://blossom.primal.net/8706ee0bedc5db4528734b9e133b25f0b3e3da87e4f69961fc1261a0c9c39786.png https://blossom.primal.net/56ec318a5499ae03325e4461010df3640faacfdf473f51bb12d2b70c86cca9dc.png https://blossom.primal.net/1227347918814a7c7cc3cf6be950cb47ee09417ea09306414c97e4efc5f01061.png https://blossom.primal.net/6112ce90912a391f9c912f2bd7819d65b7e9c20498e00867c5788c3c0c7f86b8.png #nevent1q…msl3 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Thanks you! 🙏 👊 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 https://proton.me/ npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Maybe I'm confused, but it does show them the savings on a single transaction, the one I would be making, or what my transactions would add up to over the year? Yes, I agree, if I'm understanding you correctly, that the most powerful thing would be what it would be across all customers over the course of the year. The flip side is I've never gone somewhere where I haven't been the first person asking, so I'm not sure that's the best starting point. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 This note makes me smile.

I'm late to the game, but so glad to be here. Bought some sats this morning to celebrate and grateful that they are on sale. Have a great day! #bitcoin #classof2024 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Thanks. I built some thing I needed. So glad you found it useful. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Alright!!! Great work. I’m going to the farmers market this weekend to try to do the same. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 As always, such a great article. The liquidity puzzle is fantastic. "On the outside" I'm in education and I think of your bitcoin explainer article several times a week. It's my new gold standard for useful, but also not watered down, content. The exact balance I need to strick. Thanks! 🙏 👊 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 You’re welcome! 👊 npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 Not at the two terminals - at two different places - I bought from this week. Maybe they haven’t updated their software for the terminal? npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 The fee is on the merchant side then. So rather than 2.6% they’re just paying 1%. The calculator shows this if you scroll down just a bit. Good question! npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 I tried that at two places in the past few days, and the icon in the top left does not show up. My guess is they're either rolling it out to certain places, or they're not telling us that payments option has to be turned on - that the video they showed is only for merchants who've opted in. npub1g9ysswt67fnyqfrsgtd8l9p0eyccxlydn5eq0cn3evhm9w7e5nkssvzlky orangedad85 I made something that I think will help me when I’m trying to get merchants to accept Bitcoin on their Square Terminal. I struck out pretty hard at my local coffee shop yesterday. Total non-starter. I’ll write about that separately. But it made me realize something: I didn’t have a simple way to show the owner what my weekly coffee habit would save them in card fees. And then it would be nice - if they're curious - to have them just scan a QR code and read a quick overview of why they can easily accept it, rather than read some flyer...which I tried in the fall. So I built a simple app that does this. The default is $10 purchase for 2 times a week. If somebody spends $10 twice a week at a Square merchant, that is $50 a year on credit card fees the merchant saves. If somebody buys a $5 coffee every day, the $0.15 Square charges the coffee shop adds up...to the tune of $100 for the year. The tool is simple - you just put in the sale amount, pick one purchase or repeat visits, and it shows: - Credit card fee - Bitcoin fee in 2026 - Bitcoin fee in 2027+ - What a regular customer adds up to over time At this point we hope we've gotten their attention, and if so, you click the QR code toggle. The merchant scans it and gets a short page explaining the fees they save, common questions, and links to Square’s resources for turning Bitcoin Payments on. There is a link to Square's onboarding video. I'm not sure it's been updated, and it's not as quick process, unless one of use is helping them, but again, I might have found an older video. The merchant will want to know if this gets automatically converted to USD. The docs I found say merchants can receive Bitcoin Payments as USD or BTC, yet recent Square release notes say USD is the default for new sellers, but the video made it look like they had to choose. It'd be great if we could get clarity on that. The bottom line is for people here care about merchant adoption, and I think this is useful...and not ai slop, but you be the judge. https://orangedaddocs.github.io/square-bitcoin-savings-calculator/ @nprofile…wq2n @nprofile…zkaf #merchantadoption #bitcoin https://blossom.primal.net/310c7cd351b49be5fc36ec797337c0f23256cf6581698ccbc2c9d1527c466009.png
