@nprofile…8p0e sent you an e-mail, good sir. 🫡👍️
One habit makes governments nervous.
Tomorrow, @nprofile…8p0e and I explore why.
Less than 24 hours. ⚡

The latest project from @nprofile…4dda and @nprofile…en87
Impressed how productive these individuals are ❤

Very cool ) idea itself is amazing, let’s see
Plenty and yes Tomek talks about this in depth in his episode.
OMG scheme scripting? Been going through MIT's Wizard Book, I may have to look at this.
Looking for @nprofile…th90's "Return Engagement" books (three books as far as I can see). I can only find them as Kindle books, and I just can't stand Amazon's DRM.
Anyone on #Nostr who can point me to a physical book or a DRM-free version?
@nprofile…en87
Does anyone have an idea about the Reticulum Network Stack?
Does it already work properly?
I know @nprofile…8p0e is probably pretty busy, but I would also like to hear your stance on this project. Sovereign Network countering ISP providers, or just gimmiky?
I´m kinda tempted to try to build a small Network myself 🤔
@nprofile…yehr out of fifty one episodes did any of those free cities actually get merchants taking bitcoin day to day? @nprofile…084g would know from prospera, everything i read about them is residency and capital flight rather than everyday spending.
@nprofile…m0ya Mate, I think that hash is messing up your handle.
Finished the second reading of this amazing book about a month ago, but your summary made me move it back onto my stack of books to read this summer ...
Fifty-one episodes about Bitcoin.
That's one episode a week for almost a year, if you're feeling ambitious.
Over three and a half years the Free Cities Podcast has been asking a different question: once you hold money the state can't debase, where do you actually live? What do you build?
The archive now has its own page:
On privacy: @nprofile…8p0e on the praxeology of privacy, @nprofile…n0n6 on the architecture of freedom, @selfBankt on decentralised networks.
On the state: @nprofile…3hw8 on why democracy drifts toward totalitarianism, @nprofile…2zl8 on digital authoritarianism, @nprofile…8xhx on CBDCs.
On exit: @nprofile…3424 on choosing a parallel life, @nprofile…pe2j on overlanding and self-sovereign identity, @nprofile…e5aa on the Bitcoin Free City he actually lives in.
On the big picture: @nprofile…a8xg the sovereign individual thesis, @nprofile…s8g7 on fiat as the biggest addiction of all, Polycarp Nakamoto on decentralised mesh networks.
And on this protocol: @nprofile…8r4g on Nostr and anarchy, @nprofile…27f2 on liberating creators from the attention economy.
Bitcoin fixes the money. These conversations are about what gets fixed next.
All 51, one page: https://www.freecities.fm/search?topic=podbitcoin
We made a thing. Organizing an event? Try something new...
Thanks to @nprofile…8p0e for the idea.
Very alpha, but also very very cool.

I you use any normal smartphone OS rather than say grapheneos then your location is tracked continously even if you turn off location tracking at user interface level and will be uploaded to Apple and/or Google periodically. Another less precise trail is gathered by cell towers. And this quite regardless of whether you use Google maps or some other map/navigation product.
Who cares if the nsec isn't all that secure in Nostr architecture and common practice among clients and apps?

@nprofile…g2cl knows his shit. If anyone could solve the decentralized shipping problem, he could.
If we put him and @nprofile…u4tp in a room for an hour, we'd have a decentralized shipping solution run on nostr and bitcoin.
Let me know if you run into issues or have your agent send me feedback after you finish. I'm always looking to improve the libraries
@npub1m2m…r8p9 applesauce has a very flexible remote signer client https://applesauce.build/creating/signers/nostr-connect.html
There is also a full multi-signer account system if you need that for your app as well https://applesauce.build/apps/accounts/manager.html
So true, we have to make it super seamless to send money from users to devs.
I definitely didn't mean Sven. I meant @nprofile…3kna Not sure how that happened. Sorry Sven.
A Russian restaurant owner in Uluwatu, Bali was taken on the night of July 2 as he rode home from his own restaurant.
Two masked men blocked his motorcycle, cuffed him with plastic restraints, covered his head, and drove him to a two-story building.
He was punched and kicked for close to 30 hours until he gave up the password to his crypto account.
The stop happened at a junction on that route, around 9:35 PM, on a deserted stretch with almost no camera coverage.

They took his Xiaomi phone at the roadside. His villa key was sitting on the motorcycle's dashboard, so they used it to walk into his villa and take a second phone, the one he used to reach his crypto funds.
No arrests so far.
An estimated $4.9M to $5M was taken. They let him out in front of Udayana University Hospital in Jimbaran at 4 AM on July 4.

If you handed over everything you can reach right now, what would you still own tomorrow?
Session 4 of our webinar series on digital security covers what makes backups durable, and who can reach your assets when you no longer can.

A public business and a fixed route are the two cheapest pieces of intelligence an attacker can get.

His villa CCTV was dead from a short circuit and had been before the night they came.

I saw the discussion in your recent episode where you mentioned receiving a DM from “someone from XmrBazaar.” Just to clarify: I have never contacted you, and as far as I know, no one from the XmrBazaar team has either. If the person who messaged you is not me or Douglas Tuman, then it's an impersonator with unclear purposes. Please be cautious with any future messages claiming to be from XmrBazaar. I recommend verifying the source directly before engaging.
Currently reading Daemon. Its great. Any other fiction reccomendations?
I assume you've read Lyn Alden's books already (if not, that seems to be the obvious choice).
Most anything by Daniel Suarez I think is required reading for Bitcoiners -- particularly Daemon and Freedom given how much they relate to decentralized autonomous technology in an economic light. He's not on Nostr (yet), but perhaps I'll go remind him we're still here (he's on Twitter).
I haven't read it yet but have it on my shelf, @nprofile…g2cl published Praxaeology of Privacy entirely on Nostr for free; you can find it in his long form content or on his site. It is of course available for hardcopy purchase. Definitely non-fiction.
And then I particularly like @nprofile…lscy He can be a little polarizing and I'm sure he won't mind my saying so (he wrote an article called "Why you should sell your Bitcoin," after all), but I enjoyed Bushido of Bitcoin anyway. He's got plenty of shorter stuff on substack if you're not familiar (or sure if you're interested in committing to long form). Wondering what it's gonna take to get him to follow up on the fiction story he began at the end of Bushido given his sabbatical from the Internet.
Episode 12 with @nprofile…u8g0 , super great to have him on to talk about shipping with proxy merchants and private messaging protocol development. A lot to dive into too 🍿🎧

Yea @nprofile…en87 proposed something afair
And just like that by word of mouth the message spreads, following and listening to @npub1000…asew now!
Can confirm. An essential part of the #40HPW

The FOSS community is very fragile.
First and foremost, this is because many FOSS developers have a mental block about making money from their projects.
Another group of FOSS developers either fears cryptocurrencies or despises them for religious/political reasons.
As a result, we have great FOSS that survives on a bowl of rice (without butter - that's for the bourgeoisie) and a slice of 3 days old bread.
In my lifetime, I've paid more for FOSS than some people have paid for proprietary apps. I'm not complaining. I'm proud of it.
But, it's not always easy… I have to go to GitHub, open an issue, and directly ask them to add a Monero and/or Bitcoin wallet - and offer to make the first donation myself…
And how pleased I was (and at the same time surprised) to see that some of the FOSS developers whose work I use were happy to receive a ~200 USD donation via XMR!
So, if you're a FOSS developer for Linux/Android, please don't make me waste my time asking you to accept a donation from me!
First things first, publish your FOSS on @nprofile…tdq0 and be sure to add your Monero wallet address to the README - trust me, people will donate to you!
A colorful meme that sums up most of the FOSS community (unfortunately).
p.s. Thanks @nprofile…g2cl for shilling to me ZapStore. I'll keep shilling it to others.

Any news on the Marmot TypeScript SDK @nprofile…u8g0 @nprofile…sp3z ? Wouod love to build this into @nprofile…fhxk mobile app.
Picture the person you'd leave your coins to trying to reach them without you in the room.
They don't know if the seed is on paper or steel, whether it's whole or split, or which drawer even holds the right device.
Everything you did to keep it safe from a stranger now works against the one person you meant to have it.
Session 4 of our free Digital Security Webinar Series works through it: Backup & Inheritance Strategies
In partnership with and hosted by the
Sound Money Solutions team, led by @npub1klk…x3vt Hillebrand.
What we'll cover:
- Redundancy that adds copies without adding single points of failure
- Where backups live, and who can reach them
- An inheritance path that triggers without exposing keys early
- Recovery that holds up
July 15th.
Limited seats.

Pseudonymous trusted reputation systems are very much needed. We can use blockchain tech to build such. They already exist but in more ad hoc ways. We also need ability to roll keys including Nostr keys and provably knows in it is the same underlying reputation bearing entity. Nost keys as they are are not very secure and definitely not a basis for knowing you are dealing with same trusted entity.
The interesting hard part is crossing from digital to physical space. For modern parallel economy it seems to me we can be limited to what was historically proven only as the scale is not there.
