Last Notes
Spent the entire day wandering around Prague.
Time for a photo dump? I think so.

Definitely bookmarking for later!
Comgrats, Derek! 20 years is huge!
Just celebrated 20 with my wife in May, as well.

This statue comemorates Jan Hus, a Bohemian proto-reformer of the 14th century who preached in Czech at Bethlehem Chapel in Prague. This was unheard of during his day, when mass was held only in Latin, which most common men did not understand.
He was burned at the stake in Constance, Germany on July 6th, 1415 because, inspired by John Wycliffe, he wanted the Bible to be available in the language of the people and because he preached against indulgences, and other errors and corruption in the church.
The inscription on the base of the statue says, "For the Truth."
If you're ever in Zbraslav, a suburb to the south of #Prague, I highly recomment this little spot to stop in for some good food and pay with #Bitcoin.

We just happened to stumble upon it when looking for somewhere close by to eat, but they are already listed on @nprofile…h3zv as well.

Yes! Using my own Lightning node.
Sitting here in the Czech Republic on my tablet and managing my node at home in the US as easily as if I was on my local network.
Start Tunnel + Wireguard is incredible!
Agreed. I don't think I could have fit any fries in my belly along with that burger, though.
Of course! Via @nprofile…m7rj Go with NWC to my own lightning node at home!
The food is great, too!

Went to find a little place in Zbraslav to have lunch and was pleasantly surprised to see this sign.

Thanks! I knew it was one of the other two castles that make up a triagle around Sušice, along with Rabí.
Castles aren't the only things worth seeing in Czechia. Found this building in the town square in Sušice.

Another castle! Did not have time to visit this one. Just saw it from afar.

A nest of young falcons in a small hole in the wall of Castle Rabi.

An incredible experience, for sure.
The tour was given in Czech, so I missed most of it, but I took pictures of the tour book to read later.
The surrounding countryside viewed from the top of the keep at Castle Rabi.

We intend to visit a few more next week, so I will hopefully have more to share then.
Anyone like castles? Visited Castle Rabi today; one of the largest medieval ruins in the Czech Republic.

Yeah, I should have expected that. 😂
I don't really know who would be considered top of the line for leather open-carry holters. I stick with level 3 retention for open-carry.
Open or concealed carry?
For open carry, Safariland holsters can't be beat.
Not sure who's the go-to for concealed carry these days.
I took your note at face value. 😂
Exactly. Strike is a useful tool for bridging between USD and Bitcoin, but it should not be the main way someone uses lightning when there are solid self-custody options, and even no-kyc custodial options, readily available.
Ummm, I am no shill for Mallers but he probably knows how lightning works pretty intimately, because, long before he ever started Strike, he built Zap wallet, which was a pretty early self-custody lightning wallet.

I must say, I am in love with Prague! Beautiful city!
Take a look at https://trustedrelays.xyz/

Sunset in Prague last night.
The DND nerd in me questions what sort of potion might be contained within. https://relay.brightbolt.net/dc9668c726a1e3301cfd3e49254396fb97fcfe8718389b92a90829c236fb00f3.jpg
Ueah, I am not familiar with their payment system It's not Square.
Went to a coffee shop in Amsterdam that is shown on BTC Map. Unfortunately when I asked to pay in bitcoin, the gentleman working today said he didn't know how to do it. He knows that they have the ability to accept Bitcoin, but would have to have a co-worker who wasn't there at the time show him how.
Passed up a lot of other coffee shops to go to one that accepted Bitcoin, too.
Thanks! We've been enjoying ourselves so far.
Found a little hole-in-the-wall sandwich shop in Amsterdam and it has ruined every other sandwich for me, they were so good!
Walking in Amsterdam. I have never been more scared of bicyclists in my life.
Next stop: Prague.
But the flight isn't for several hours.

GM Nostr (again).
Landed in Amsterdam. It's my first time in continental Europe and my wife and daughter's first time overseas.
I think Mstt Hill mentioned they are working on something better than the current email method.
@npub1xsg…zazx I was unable to find any relay list for your npub.
If clients that use outbox are trying to find your notes, they won't know what relays to look on if your relay list cannot be found.
If you want your notes to be seen by those following you, you should publish a relay list (kind 10002) from most any Nostr client.
GM Nostr.
Headed to the airport. ✈️
Nostr relays only really handle text based notes. For the audio side of things, we would need it stored on some kind of media host, like a Blossom server.
I actually have a recent example of doing just that.

Shakespeare does a bangup job creating websites with Nostr integration! What models are y'all getting good results from without breaking the bank?
Claude Opus really chewed through my credits creating a pretty basic blog site.
#asknostr
Nothing I am aware of, but I support this initiative. You thinking #pintchain or get rid of the "chain" language and go with something else? I am terrible at thinking of anything catchy.
Silly question. It will depend on how they were exposed, but in most cases the blame is not one-sided. Enough blame to go around for both sides.
My Gen-Z daughter got it, but she's homeschooled, so she doesn't count.
