I don't think I'm ever going to be right in line for an eclipse again and even if I am, I'm sure I won't know where these are. But also, the fact that I bought these chency things and literally stared directly at the sun through them, trusting that the factory that made them wasn't having a bad day, I don't know, I guess you live once. https://npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas.blossom.band/26d7c1a55bb96ab4e7a3a50c4fd83f7882cef35077b53750e87d01003b35cc1d.jpg npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 Why is that, dude? 😁 npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 I haven't actually decided that yet, but I'm leaning towards just using better hardware and definitely not putting off the mirror this time. I have a little nuc that would make a fabulous node. It even has two NVMe slots so I'm pretty sure I can mirror it up right away. I just have to spend a lot of money on drives. npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 Tragedy of the Commons. npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 Hardware failure. But also failure on my part in that I kept procrastinating mirroring the drive. npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 Well, it was a drive failure, and the static channel backups were what enabled me to claim the SATs. That, and honest channel partners. But the node was run in a physical proximity to me on my hardware. The rescue happened on a VPS in Europe. npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 They say pride comes before a fall. Well, I was proud of myself finally getting my lightning address working on my domain with a little software that could reach out to my node and create invoices blah blah. And as soon as that was working for less than a week, Kblamo, my lightning node disintegrated. This is that story. #nevent1q…3mx5 npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 I did not speak of the carnivorous diet. Are you a bot or just... npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 I have been telling my elderly best friend frequently, that I'm impressed with him, that he has protected my whole family from that devilish, demonic mailman. The mailman who has not one time slipped in through the mail slot and killed all of us. The good boy is undefeated. npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 Yum. npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 M0053TALK #1! The first and only episode of a podcast that does not exist! In this episode I talk about what I did when I realized my lightning node was a goner... ...but with lots of pontifications! https://nostr.download/93fb03b3c07f113ab139a305e109f804fcf37e4d3dba237e58a6df7b23bd3438.mpga npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 Tail =200mph Face =classic pitful beg face I say that is a good dog. All dog systems go. npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 But I tell you the truth, no prophet is accepted in his own hometown. npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 Just be aware you dox your IP when you do that. May or may not be something to consider. npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 Don't worry, there will be more. npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 Well, his absence created a "vacuum for grifters". We couldn't "stay humble" without him guarding us from grifters over there. I have respect for Mr. Odell, but he is a black and white idealist who trips over his perfectionism dick frequently. And he's arguing with someone who's even more of a binary thinker than himself. You will notice that Luke achuallly never said bitcoinners would be pedos. Rather that they would be forced to distribute CSAM. So, as a binary thinker, he also feels compelled to shout liar. If Bitcoin can't survive this, then it could never have survived in the first place. Also, unfortunately, I think it's inevitable that at some point we're going to see a fork and the whole world's going to freak out and the people who were here in 2017 will be saying hang tight, hang tight. It's going to be gross. This might not be that event, but we're eventually gonna see it. npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 Chicken, butter, barbecue dust, rice, corn, dinner. https://npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas.blossom.band/e0dc3677ea02ad1338363789775f480fb71cc32a6f1e6c347646f24065793c5b.jpg npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 I am waxing VERY philosophical today and want to record my ideas and let you hear them. If I do this will at least on e of you listen? And promise not to make fun of my voice? :) 🫎 npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 Ooh.

But it does have an awful lot of nice things that you can do. Lightning is, in my opinion, both misunderstood and undervalued. The narrative that everyone expected when it launched never came true, and it can't. People doing what you and I have done are going to be very rare. But for Bitcoin network infrastructure, it's a pretty big deal. I actually feel the same way about the elements project or liquid as the main implementation is known. That will make me a fad in some people's eyes, lol. npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 Ah-ha! Well the btc/ln node itself is run on minimal hardware sitting on a local network I have access to. But the invoice generation is handled by LnBits on a VPS (5250 miles away) connecting via a VPN tunnel to the node. This seems like a fairly secure architecture. I actually started out with zerotier as the VPN and then went to a vanilla wire guard setup. But honestly, I think even zero tier should be pretty good, since traffic is encrypted. npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 Cool! I suppose I finally got the self hosted address working! Sats retrned with interest. npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 I'm still curious about the zap receipts thing. What were you meaning? Because I might want to turn that on, whatever it is. npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 Can I join the call too and just take notes so I feel like I'm a dev? npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 Think goodness AI can't just start putting a face up in the corner too now? npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 You know, I think that word has lost its meaning in the Bitcoin community. npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 But "grifter vacuum"?!?? npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 I don't know if we're talking about the same thing, I've just relied on the client or the protocol to count the zaps. I thought they were events as well as Bitcoin lightning transactions. But I don't know. I don't know enough about the protocol. npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 I don't know who you are, but welcome to my ban list. npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 Cool. Well, I also sent you a couple zaps in return, but Amethyst isn't showing them. It's funny, I never used to have problems with that, but over the last six months or so, it's just real spotty whether or not I see them show up on posts. I'm not a big zapper (or someone who expects big zaps) anyway. I'm just trying to get everything set up neatly. 😁 npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 Wait...

I have not found those animals to be blindly aggressive. npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 Looks super fast! npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 Your customers are pretty smart people and they've noticed that this is evidently somehow connected to an order that they have placed. These are not Ledger owners or Target customers who got a fake CoinKite letter. They are people who ordered a ColdCard. And this is not the first iteration of this scam. If you look, you can find the exact same scam happening worldwide for months. It is likely that a downstream logistics partner has a leak. If you look, the people who received this letter are marked as owning a "ColdCard Calculator". I would bet 20,000 sats that something like that is what is being told to the shippers to be declared probably to customs. You can express concern about this leak and even let your customers know that it's probably not you. It's probably someone downstream from you that you don't control. At least I hope this is the case. And by the evidence, it seems so. But just acting like we have been the victims of past information breaches and shrugging it off doesn't really feel good to people who have placed their trust in you in buying your product. This is not meant to be any kind of finger wagging post. I'm just trying to point out something that you might not be seeing quite yet. npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 Its bad. npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 This is kind of what I mean by my original post. It's that I expect this to be positioned in a way that keeps them pristine and they may not really need that positioning if they're just honest about what's happened. But there are a lot of hardcore purists in the bitcoin world. That catchphrase everyone likes so much. The first instruction is to "stay humble". It's too bad it's not meant literally, and instead means don't use leverage. All of that said, the cold card is a fabulous hardware wallet. I mean SIGNER. Lol. npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 #coinkite stands at a precipice. There is no doubt they have been abused by someone... perhaps internal, more likely downstream fulfillment wise. But the way they respond to this, the tone that they set, whether they are defensive or understanding and careful will mean a lot to how the company continues to be perceived. npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 #nevent1q…6yey npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 So, here's an interesting piece of data. The one that you show a screenshot of, as well as another one I may have seen, include the purchased device as a "Coldcard Calculator." that sounds to me like something that might be declared as a package contents or the like. This would make me think the fulfillment company could be the weak link here. npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 So in case I have a channel with any of you, this is the second time this year that I'm having to re-index my Bitcoin node.

And I think I'm getting your general drift pretty well, but I'm not sure if I completely understand the key to your point that you're making. I see Nostr has a very interesting toy for people who live on the technological edge. It's kind of like ham radio, which has never been a serious communication channel in the sort of day-to-day use. And yet to this day, Ham ends up saving lives in situations where it is needed, kind of like what happened in the mountains of the Appalachians after the hurricane. I think it is the lowest common denominator aspect of the communication method that makes it continue to be relevant even though 99% of the time it's just a hobby for antenna nerds. Nostr seems to be lowest common denominator coms for data on a network. In fact, I believe you could relay things over a radio if you wanted. So if we're looking at it as the replacement for mainstream social media, well, that is a hopeless idea because people are too stupid. (lots to unpack there, but I'm already writing a tome.) I quite like the protocol and it is my daily driver's social media and I am willing to pay the cost of it continuing to be the bathroom stall door as you put it. npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 I don't know what mode I'm on, or if it was the same word, but I feel like...

(Ah centralized services) npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 I might have just had a little too many. npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 Okay, I feel like I just need to make this warning. I am reaching that stage of hair length where men begin to feel almost safe, attempting that little stubby ponytail thing that their hair falls out of. And I just thought I would warn any of you following me so that you could unfollow in case that is frightening. npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 I do like replies. npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 I just want to say... I don't care if you don't zap me. In delighted when someone sends nee a ONE sat zap. And as delighted with a simple emoji. I'm here for the community. Not ideals. Nostr is fine. npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 Perfume?

I say good morning to you, particularly the moody ones. Although I don't think many of them follow me. But when life smacks you upside the head, sometimes you just have to make yourself a nice mug of coffee. And you go back to bed and lie down with the coffee. You prop your head up just to that point where you can sort of poke your lips out and just draw in one steaming hot sip of coffee and maybe spill some on your collar and make that noise. Ffffftttthhhhhhhh. Ahh coffee. Would you like me to pour you a mug? https://npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas.blossom.band/b6e4b99503cea85b7d49526ecf61c5787a7aaaad9ac421086d58d4a8bf7152ad.jpg npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 Well, I'm not anti-spotify, but I like the podcast apps that are more towards supporting podcast 2.0 features and more of the value for value approach. And I prefer open source software in general. Podcast guru is a decent platform and I may end up continuing to use it. Fountain is doing a lot of interesting things like it has integrated nostr, and the ability to easily zap podcasters. npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 Podcast app suggestions? Ive been using Podcast Guru. #asknostr Oh. And I wish I could use fountain. But the UX/UI is awful. npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 I think this is the way. And frankly NOSTR and Bitcoin BOTH suffer from the giant UX debt that emerges from a decentralized protocol and the work and sacrifices that need to be made by the common user to run it in a moderately sovereign way. And on top of that there is the tragedy of the commons. I think in both Bitcoin and Nostr it arises in a social form. The "community" haranguing the devs is an example. But these two projects are about free speech. Censorship resistance. <....> is for enemies etc. But I have hope. We have to resist framing things in binaries. Because the revolution is not that you HAVE to "be your own bank". It is that you CAN. The whole world does not need to be using Nostr right now. But we need to be ready for when the world realizes they need it. And I am learning how to use it. I am not a dev. But I can be a "power user". An Uncle Jim. Because when the censorship, and silencing, and frozen bank accounts come, a LOT more people are going to understand why these freedom technologies are important. npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 grogu-and-helmet-man-star-wars.webp npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 Few. npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 I'm just gonna say it's interesting this wave of grief about #primal. I have a lot of thoughts about it. npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 Wow! So cute! But their home! It's built on a teeny swinging branch! And did one just rip an arc of sharting? npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 I am pretty sure only mooses are allowed to eat that. npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 This is a good thought. I used to do contract work for a company that "insured" gift cards and then the more sexy offer was insuring hole-in-one contests and the like. I think single mint Chaumian schemes lend themselves to these types of uses. On the other hand, it concerns me greatly that they are being masqueraded around as some sort of sovereignty tech. People are easy to trick and they lose vouchers and there's money to be made there. Some ways are a little less diabolical than others. npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 I feel like there are some universal archetypal foods that exist across most cultures.

That group? If so, I think I could understand having a bias against certain elements of that. Perhaps an over-emphasis on individualism, for example. I think much of that philosophy is very important at the same time. What do you see in a nutshell as the problems with it? And or what do you see as a better way of looking at the world? npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 Bamalam npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 Is the nsec derived using something unique from the user along with the hash of the account? npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 I have been saying this for 12 years. Bitcoin cannot and should not make the trade-off Monero does, but I'm glad Monero does. npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 Ugh. But GM. npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 I think these theories are very interesting, and having looked into them, I think there may even be some truth here, however... I personally knew a man who was in the Marshall Islands when the US was doing testing there. They set off a bomb 30 miles from where he stood on an island. But the blast was three times more powerful than they had calculated. He was standing on the beach and it blew him into the ocean. When I met him decades later, I saw his body covered in lipomas. And I heard his story, and I have to say, I believe him. Poor guy finally died of lung cancer. He was a very interesting fellow in his own right, if you're curious at all. Ole Anthony. npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 Right! Basically tiny little helicockters? npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 And yet nicotine has remarkable theraputic applications for various dopamine adjacent things. Tourettes and some dementias for example. But serious tradeoffs for sure. npub1qktjyk0vdqlfss7wztawdnka5phx2p3vlvq50x0z402jk2fjhtnqlx9qas M0053 Indeed. I was there for it. Parkay. Saturated Fats were, at that time, the devil. Hydrogenated fats were considered healthy. Even with decades of proof to the contrary SOME of these errors persist.
