Last Notes
It's not just Odell either, it’s literally every single person who sold you a ColdCard, they are all selling you Bitkey now. And people on Twitter are eating this up! They have zero memory or will to reject the people that the establishment has determined are allowed to use Twitter and decide what should be discussed about Bitcoin. To me a self-custodial platform based around biometrics is *insane*. Biometrics are irrevocable *and* trivially stolen. Get a burn? Lose a digit? Wallet stops working. But the cops can and will press your fingerprint to it, and scammers can just grab a latent print off of something and make a gelatin mold.

I am unwilling to use anything, at this point, where my identity is not exclusively a public key. I am unconcerned about surveillance risk at this point. I am willing for any of my conversations to be publicized. But I have been deplatformed from fucking everything on the planet. That’s the actual risk to me. Anything with a human readable username, or a phone number, that’s a pile of trash and I’m uninterested in it.
I was locked out of both my Signal accounts on the exact same day, what a coincidence
I use Nostrord, but getting people on it has been futile. I think Flotilla is just a completely stupid model.
Bitkey is also run by those who Odell has a direct financial relationship with. Once again, he’s not giving his viewers the sensible choice (which would be Trezor)— he’s giving them the one he gets the most benefit from promoting.
A dozen donuts from my local baker cost $7.80 in 2020. I went there two days ago and asked how much a dozen donuts were now. She said $17.50.
In six years, the rate of inflation has been 124.35%
Not quite the 2-6% the government keeps lying to us about.
The man just cannot stop shilling. It’s all he does. The loss of the life savings of his viewers, as a direct result of his criminal racketeering and violation of his fiduciary duties as an investment agent and board member, is just an opportunity to sell them a new crypto wallet. @npub1qny…95gx is the most subhuman and manipulative schemer in this whole saga, worse than NVK who actually clearly architected the retirement attack of all his customer’s funds. He’s literally worse than a fat Brazilian kike.

Bro, the Upgrade was a Decade Ago
Many developers can be reckless with API calls, because with stable connections and global CDN servers, the difference between proper design, and complete negligence, can be in milliseconds. So it's not even worth the effort for most corporate developers to even learn.
This is why despite the HTTP protocol being upgraded over a decade ago to HTTP2, the vast majority of Python tutorials still teach the requests library, which only has HTTP/1. And despite HTTP2's proven speed advantage for client re-use, most mobile apps using Flutter continue to erode that edge with the defaults of HTTP1.
Then because web bloat has become the accepted standard, everyone has to use a CDN, to pass all data to the same centralized mega-corporations, which break SSL through the fundamental nature of CDNs. So as an end-user, you have to accept snail speeds, or totalitarian privacy-invasion.
But what if it wasn't a stable connection? What if there was no Cloudflare? Most of our users are using Tor, plus a base-layer VPN, with crappy internet to begin with. But they still expect fast performance, so what can they do?
Even worse, the Tor developers kill adoption with their own policies. Their STEM library is garbage for receiving errors on bootstrap. It's a blackbox that gives no feedback, yet they’ve created pointless permission problems by restricting third party apps from creating Tor sessions on a given config, by default on most Linux distros. Yet when Tor browser itself is open, it can start the config, and then you can bind to it. So what is the purpose of restricting it, if when the primary use-case is open, that restriction is often gone.
Then Tor dev negligence is compounded by PySocks dev negligence, where even after decades of IPv6 being around, PySocks doesn't support it. And the STEM library docs don’t want to mention how to disable IPv6, their attitude is go read it on your own.
This combo is lethal, of black box swallowed errors, pointless permission problems, IPv6 errors, all combined with crappy library support. How can any privacy project succeed? Most don't, and that's why you see Cloudflare used even for Monero wallet APIs. Each party points the finger at the other, nobody takes responsibility for anything.
Now you have context to understand this 2-7-7 upgrade. I've been digging away for months to learn this, and today we are proud to roll out the upgrade:
Today's upgrade:
-Ditching HTTP1 for HTTP2
-Ditching Python requests for HTTPx
-HTTPx client re-use throughout the project. Way beyond simple for loops, but an entire infrastructure for persistent proxied connections.
-Ditched STEM for a Custom Tor Bootstrap with error detection for a variety of issues.
-It creates a custom HTTPx client to resolve DNS and verify SSL when Tor node DNS is blocked.
-Solved async over Tor. Now it grinds out concurrent requests
-Transitioned the database endpoints to reduce the quantity of API calls made
-Elaborate sync tracker to reduce API calls when nothing changed
With all these changes combined, we've smashed sync time from over 15 seconds, to under 5 seconds (depending on your connection.)
Although this may seem like a lot of technical complexity, I am on a simple mission. To make privacy so convenient, that you say "why not".

All these demons selling their soul for the almighty dollar.
the state has agencies and thousands of people deploying AI against crypto, all organized, 3 shifts totaling 24 hours a day, coordianted, scheduled, planned. People sitting in rooms deciding what's next for years to come. Thinktanks using decision trees to plot their future gains of power years ahead of current trends. Meanwhile society is fragmented into islands of individual people all racing to stay updated with no organization, or plan for the future, just current remedies to stay afloat.
yet another reason I still use Session
How everyone should start thinking of @npub1qny…95gx

they still have Odell on the board and he has had a large history of similar conflicts of interest and sabotaging competing projects
Lol. You clearly dont know with whom you are talking to.
We should be building more powerful, unsensored, without guardrails, open sourced LLMs and use it to bring down the state piece by piece.
#nevent1q…ak67
While we are all busy using AI to write dumb pointless apps for us and "save" time on larger more pointless projects, governments are using AI to create a war system and surveillance state with human lives micromanaged by black and white robot logic further enslaving us with no way out and they know it!
Yeah... real "utopia" when everybody will be broke ass niggas living on government welfare while a handful of people control all the wealth and force mandated "health" practices in order to receive your daddy government slave cash.
They still have 2600 meetings? I havent been to one in 24 years loool
You are telling me you dont have a single credit or debit card, pay for your gas with Monero and your food with monero and only use cash sparingly?
U dreaming homie. It doesnt exist yet.
As much as i hate and try to avoid CEXes, i still have to use it once and a while to cash out and pay bills.
Yes, yes, there is Retoswap, but that can take time and sometimes i need cash sooner than that.
Litecoin should remove the base chain and move everything into the MWEB side chain.
I was at Aldi in the freezer section and these two black ladies opened the door to get a product and one of them goes, "Damn, it so cold in thur it like negative zero degree."
Classic Negro Science.
Nosdag 0.1.5 is out
What changed since 0.1.4:
Threads actually show the thread now. The right panel could render a note with one reply or none no matter how many existed, and clicking a reply sometimes opened nothing at all. Both fixed.
Replies the author hasn't endorsed now appear for everyone, slightly dimmed, below the endorsed ones.
Notifications stopped missing things. Mentions and reactions that only reached the big public relays didn't show if your relay list didn't include them. Notifications now check those relays alongside your own list.
The tabs look like tabs. The switches above the feed (Following / Popular / Trending Monero / Live) and inside My Node, Settings and the Tip Jar were easy to read as plain text and miss entirely. They're proper buttons now.
Hosting a friend no longer depends on catching them online. Flip hosting on for someone whose machine is off and the toggle used to just shut itself back off. Now your choice sticks: the row shows "Waiting to pin" and the app keeps retrying for as long as it's running, then tells you when they're pinned.
Host notes without the media. Each hosted follow has a media checkbox, untick it and only their notes get pinned, skipping the disk-heavy part.
Also fixed: clicking Requests could scroll the whole app under the top bar with no way back.
Downloads for Linux, macOS and Windows (untested):
https://nosdag.com
Thanks, and let me know if you spot any issues or if you have suggestions.
Nosdag update:
Three bugs were fixed, notifications weren't grabbing everything, right column threads were not populating, and the Requests dropped the header.
If you are pulling from github you can grab the update. Otherwise, builds will take a few hours as I'm still adding some other tweaks.
No, but I think that makes sense to have that option. I'll figure out how to add that.
is there a way just to pin the notes and not the media?
There is an existing option for pinning to your node the notes and media of users you follow. It's in My Node. See attached. Are you suggesting a more specific pin-individual-notes option?

buzz is absolutely infuriating. To create a community and start using the product, it wants my email? What even is the point of building on nostr if you’re going to make the actual use of your product be built on centralized identities?
Why pay taxes to those who fund wars and launder public money?
The attitude of the OP is, by the way, the type of cuckolded psyche that is destroying Christendom. “You should just tolerate and show kindness to every degenerate ruining your society!” No, that’s not how it works. Christians did not have this idea until modern post-Scofield movements. Forgiveness *must be sought*. It must be given, but it also must be asked for. The guy that stole from your children doesn’t deserve kindness when he is sitting on top of his pile of stolen gold mocking you. That’s not how it works.
No, scammers and frauds deserve contempt. If they want forgiveness, they must confess their sin, bend their knee, and show honest repentance. After they liquidate all their assets and live in poverty, having made the honest best effort to use every available means to recompense those who their fraud affected, then they can be worthy of kindness. But until then they are unrepentant fraudsters, and we should continue to lash them.

i guess i will keep it and try to sell it to some museum in the future, its kind of a historic device now. :)
You cant pay or use the Coinbase credit card functions without the app
Coinbase app doesnt work on Graphene too.
Why doesnt someone get AI to write a BTCPay extension for the Clover PoS? Brick & Mortar stores could then easily accept a host of coins, including Monero
Though I am anti-Lightning I have to recognize that Zeus and Boltz are the most competent people attempting to make Lightning work. If they’re shutting everything off, that means whoever is still online is probably getting caught with their thumbs up their asses and is going to get rekt and be completely looted
Maybe it’s because we're getting onto tactically optimal sniping points to murder podcasters, grifters, and scammers and their families
If you think Trump is bad wait until the Democrat president in 2029.
I wonder why we havent heard of the Voynich manuscript being decoded yet. Surely librarians and cryptographers are pointing the best AI models at it.
New, sealed Cold Card for sale (for Monero).

This is our one big chance to rid Bitcoin of a huge swath of grifters. We have to go on the warpath. We need to be prepared to ruin as many businesses and lives as necessary. Only blood can renew the soil.
Garnet and mostard render it, yes.

hasn't run off to Israel with the Bitcoin yet to my knowledge
