Last Notes
16 YEARS AGO TODAY: Pizza day
On May 22, 2010 the first documented commercial transaction using Bitcoin occurred. Laszlo Hanyecz spent 10,000 Bitcoins (worth about $41 at the time) to buy two Papa John's pizzas.

For a new thing, it eliminates address reuse and we won't be able to see a nostrich balance by looking at those profile.

GM Good morning! May this day bring you success and #Bitcoin soaring.
I feel almost exactly the same as you. And I agree that the solution shouldn't be " just write code ¯\_(ツ)_/¯" cause that's what got us here.
But what's amazing is that no matter how shitty a Nostr client or relay is, if it followed the core spec and produces valid events, it's an equal participant in the eyes of the network. That doesn't help you, I know. And it makes me mad too. But that's how it's been possible to even get to this point. Protocol-complient but completely user-unfriendly experiences abound.
I reeee about poor code quality all the time, and I was doing it before vibe coding when people were still writing code by hand. But at the end of the day, my reeee-ing is still justified. Good code quality and prudent, sane engineering is how we move this thing forward, or else we're stuck floundering in our own pig-sty with a half dozen devs building for 2 dozen users.
How do we get there? I dunno. Devs aren't going to magically adopt a professional mindset, and vibe coding will only make things worse. Call it an epidemic of the field. It's a sickness and it's going to wreak a lot of havoc before things change.
I decided to build a relay. And I'm building it prudently. And it's going to take a while. But I hope you can take some small solace that there's at least one dev out there trying to do things right and professionally. I don't have grant money, and I don't care to obtain any because I don't need it. I'm going to make what I want to see, and I hope it can help make things better for me. And if it can make things better for me, maybe it can make things better for you. And that is my hope.

I added the ability to the end the tip jar into a tri-fold sign so you don't need an actual jar.

I guess you could get into people who are deemed incompetent. And we probably should have processes for that. But that's probably an extension of fraud.

How can you "protect" (this usually means prevent, otherwise what are we even talking about) people from making bad decisions without force or coercion? Laws against fraud protect property rights. That makes sense. Voluntary public education? Sure. But beyond that... You're leaving Capitalism and freedom in general. I can't be free if I can do dumb shit that hurts myself.

I don’t think this is about privacy, more about fear of the tools themselves.
I don't blame the Founders for not seeing every possible outcome, but I wish they'd spent more time limiting eminent domain.
The supreme court defended ED as an inherent attribute of a state. Why even have a document defining the state if the state has inherent attributes - what are they exactly? Who decides them? Isn't that the exact purpose of a Constitution? Anyway, it is in the Constitution, I just wish they'd limited the hell out of it.

I used to nag Hawkeem on Telegram to come to Nostr a year or two ago. It's good to see him here, and promoting it now.

I think you missed the part where Cashapp keeps the spread.
If you are paying in bitcoin without at least a 5% discount over cash price you're just raping yourself.
GM Rise and shine! It's a brand new day to chase your dreams 🧡.

All the pizza places are all physical giftcards and not digital. I know it's not coincards fault, but a bit sad since I only buy digital cards

Yep, it's got hummus as the "sauce" much tasty. If my eggplant was ripe, it would've gone on them.
people with real problems likely don't have the "luxury" of idle anxiety.
