Last Notes npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl Time to climb a tree https://image.nostr.build/799ad06a1f8deb2a73e25441078c5e3601746870914b0721fe428f82d4697bc0.jpg npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl Thanks for the thoughtful point—safety is absolutely crucial in any ride-sharing setup, and you're right that background checks are a common concern (Uber and Bolt do require them in many places, but they're not foolproof). In a decentralized Nostr-based app, we could lean on community-driven trust mechanisms like: - Ratings and reviews from passengers to build driver reputations over time. - Built-in panic buttons, emergency SOS contacts, and real-time location sharing for quick help. - Local co-op endorsements, where drivers vouch for each other within trusted communities. This keeps things peer-to-peer without central authority. Open to more ideas—what else would you add? #NostrRides npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl Nostr crew, tired of big ride-share corps skimming off drivers? Fresh from #BalticHoneybadger2025 in #Riga where frustrated taxi/Bolt drivers shared their gripes about high cuts (31%+!), here's a loose idea to float: An open-source app built on Nostr for truly decentralized ride-sharing. Totally decentralized—no corp overlords—just drivers forming local co-ops for peer-to-peer matching, real-time tracking, and payments via Bitcoin/Lightning (with fiat bridges @for newbies). No middlemen siphoning profits—modular design so locals can tweak it. Passengers get the same GPS convenience and maps, but the power stays with drivers. I'm not building this myself, but throwing it out there for anyone inspired—perfect for a hackathon collab or community pickup. Zap if it resonates, or reply with your take! #NostrRides #NostrDev #TaxiCoop #BuildOnNostr npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl Spanish it is! Before hearing him on a podcast, I thought Calle was all about that grassroots street vibe. My Spanish-speaking wife still insists on Kah-yeh, so in our house, he’ll always be that guy from the street! npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl So true. I worked ten years for that industry. #nevent1q…eh62 npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl Do it yourself!

That would be a good start. npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl Got it. Had to change to the Bitcoin store npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl I wish you had opted for SimpleX instead of Matrix.

Looking forward to continue listening. npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl Nice! I waited 3 months before trying mine last year, and then it was already good. npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl It's that time of the year. Cider and juice for the winter is secured. https://image.nostr.build/3857b7bc3bd25cc5795fabd81f905fbfc8ca40a235949bb24dedc928540946da.jpg https://image.nostr.build/95fffd5594aad75e3cfd19ec1a9e2a9dd04f8142bb7675b3764aca5021903aa8.jpg https://image.nostr.build/aa32478c9d5eaa0af52970451e3e509ac117cddb467074f1e2b2400966dd08e1.jpg npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl I hope they make it through the hurrycane, but very scary that there is no server redundancy in other geographic locations. For a pool that is very vocal about the centralization issue in the mining industry, that is a bit surprising. Let's see what happens next. For the time being, I have redirected my miners. npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl Anyone knows what's going on with @nprofile…ckyu Pool? Pool and web page has been down for the last 6-7 hours. #asknostr npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl Currently webpage and pool is down. Pool status is showing as dead on all my miners. I hope something amazing is going to happen when it comes online again. npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl When, and how will they implement lightning in the Proton wallet? Self custodial lightning is difficult. Could the Muun wallet approach with submarine swaps to onchain bean hybrude/ intermediate solution? I tried the Proton wallet and it works great for on-chain, but the lack of lightning makes it useless for me. Proton Wallet is something I would like to use for small and medium size transaction to other Proton users, and on-chain is not the best for that. For savings I use other wallets with cold storage capabilities. Proton Wallet has great potential, but is missing something important. npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl Make an aggressive AI powered Nostr2twitter/FB etc. reply bot that figures what a typical Nostr response would be to every post npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl :-) npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl Wow, I have one of those too. My first laptop npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl The Oslo Freedom Forum is held in Norway, which is not a EU member state. npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl That's exactly the problem. Too much concentration right now, too few real alternatives on the lightning wallet scene. npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl Sounds like you live in a McCarthyist parallel universe. npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl Pura vida. Little can compete with waking up in the forest and have breakfast with freshly picked mushrooms. #nature #Norway https://image.nostr.build/0909108d5d605b877a49f1f91a79b240dafcb5e75904bdfcdf4b169f886f1e2b.jpg https://image.nostr.build/c35fd45f6f99c781dad261718942bb95c2170beadf703e41fa65212a150f963f.jpg npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl That just sounds strange, because industries or others that will be affected by regulations are always consulted. This whole process seems odd. npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl This is a very sad day. We need more user friendly lightning wallets, not less. Mutiny was such a good attempt. Easy and zero cost onboarding with fedimint, combined with self custodial lightning. There must be people with funds and the right skills to take this vision forward in one way or another. #nevent1q…e2s8 npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl Should be super easy. I am getting mine delivered this week. Have a look at Ben's tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jC-Wp4J4Jb4 npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl The Parliament committee has asked the government to investigate the feasibility of a crypto currency ban. That is what the ministry has been tasked with. If the government (or Parliament) decides to propose new legislation based on this investigation, a public hearing will be part of the process. That is how legislative processes work. However, what I fear, is that they will try to find ways to implement a ban based on existing legislation, and thereby bypass the thorough legislative process. npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl @nprofile…ndwr partners with the neocolonial aid industry. My thoughts, and @nprofile…tqc6's response in the comments. #nevent1q…hdqn npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl Bitcoin is a bottom up movement, while Save the Children is a corporate machine. I admire the work Obi is doing with @nprofile…ndwr so I strongly hope this will not compromise the project. What you are saying, Jeff, is encouraging. I would not thought that possible when I quit a few years a go. The top leadership was mostly from the corporate sector (like Unilever, Starbucks) or (ex)politicians using the organisation as a platform to further their next carrier move. And the funding, as you mention, is mainly governments using aid projects to further their (geo)political goals around the world. Local employees doing the actual work were rarely given higher management positions, while Western expats were shipped in on well paid short term contracts with minimal cultural and contextual understanding, making bad decisions over and over again. I oversaw and brought in funding for projects for tens of millions of dollars yearly (with a 15% annual growth expectation), but was not able to change anything fundamental about how the organisation operated. After five years my personal and professional integrity was totally compromised, so I decided to leave. I had lost most of my belief in humanity, and was at my most nihilistic point in life. Understanding bitcoin, helped me drag my self out of that black swamp. Don't get me wrong, there is more nuance to this than what I can capture here. I've never worked with so many bright and well meaning people ever. So I have no doubt that some of them have been orange pilled, just doubting that the organisation can be salvaged (they are just one league below the UN and the Bank). It would be great if someone ( @nprofile…ue67 ?) could get some of the aid people to reflect in public on the aid industry with the insights they gained from understanding the world through a Bitcoin lens. #fedi #aidindustry #neocolonialism npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl While the choice of Fedi is great, and I sincerely hope the project succeed, don't forget that Save the Children is part of the neocolonial aid industry. I used to work for them. npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl Great, but I was hoping for a nostr native service that can't be shutdown or regulated by authorities. Purely peer-to-peer, accepting any currency. npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl Is someone building a decentralized AirBnB killer on Nostr? #asknostr npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl By running Albyhub on my Start9 or on a standalone RPi, will this reveal my IP to Alby and/or liquidity provider, or does it run behind Tor? npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl True. It has to be as simple as Wasabi's implementation used to be, before they dropped out of the game: default coinjoin of any amount, without setup. If not, coinjoin will only be for the very few. npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl Yes, you can, if you're on android. Just activate the work profile, and install another version of the app there. npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl Someone "zapped" me 11sats. It worked. I have no idea who it was. npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl That's very cool. Just claimed my Phoenix address. But the wallet you send from must support bolt12 as well. So I guess, only Phoenix to Phoenix is possible for the time being. If anyone wants to try, you can bolt12 zap me at this address: [email protected] npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl Noise from industry and traffic is terrible for mental and physical health. Immersion mining should be the standard, unless you need the hot air from the fans for something useful. npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl I use my grandma's washing machine from the 1980s. My daughter makes music on my Roland D50 synthesizer from the late 1980s. I sit on a wooden chair with the year 1921 written under it, in a wooden house from the 18th century. I don't romanticize the past, but something is broken in the current incentive structures. The way forward is not to recycle and use less end cheaper materials, but to build something of lasting quality that can persevere for generations. npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl Comfort food for daddy when he is home alone.

One issue: Someone tried to pay me with Strike (from fiat balance), but it failed (no payment route). He tried several times over almost a week now. Any idea what this could be? #asknostr npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl Good morning. She can also just use web services like Changenow.io Use a VPN! There is no KYC requirement. Worked for me to get rid of shitcoins. There are other services, but I haven't tried them. npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl Good morning. npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl Nostr is a portal to the promise of the Internet of the 1990s.

Apparently male human urine should also work. We often use grapefruit peal to attract Spanish slugs, so maybe it could double as a badger deterrent . npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl They are after the earthwarms I guess. npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl Badger is wreaking havoc all over the farm every night.

Well received. npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl Maybe you could look into developing a service similar to Machankura npub1nv4j840c5ugjjq7ym3sqkz5jcschjx8ulnaa90645av0rwdylm9qv9x0gr for Haiti, where you can transact with bitcoin over the lightning network on basic feature phones using normal text messages, no internet required.

Excellent way to bond with your kids over Bitcoin. Make Seed QR codes for air-gapped, stateless, use with hardware signing devices like #seedsigner or @npub1jg5…6n8n #jade. Just remember, make a steel backup of your seed phrase, store the bead-QR in a safe place, and never take a photo or expose it to the Internet. Something for your next tutorial using a seedQR @npub1rxy…hnp8? A fun alternative to hand drawing the QR on paper. https://image.nostr.build/db714a9b78d61546a1bacc926090cc8993dee879ee49287f234c9e8eba81888b.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=768x1020&blurhash=_DJQo%7B%7D%40%25g9GxDM%7BRP%25zyDoLniM%7BxYV%40IpRi%24*I%3BI%3Bt7Ip4n%2510fbv%3D%7Cxuozv%7DE1IU%5EjR%2CEhxtsmVtM%7CNGkWbI%251S%23xt%252-oV%40o0IoxuXSf%2BWVRjIoaeWrI%3BxuayM%7C%24%25-V&x=232c7f60df13610726d9ed755a635180a2ce59b4b713c014314a27261e03a295 npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl NextCloud npub1pgkljpdv6k6muvs54pxt948krv80knvm7ptnn4g3zgjj2py4j6yq38ueyc BlindOwl Fantastic talking to you yesterday @npub167j…ww05.
