I will be attending Freedom Fest and giving a speech there this year. It is June 11 - 14 in Palm Springs, CA.
If you'd like to come see me, they are giving a $150 discount on admissions for my followers with code FREEROSS.

Sentenced to die in prison. Pardoned by President Trump after spending 4,130 days (11+ years) in max security. Freedom is sweet!
Happy Sunday ๐
Sundays used to mean prison visitation day, a good day. Thinking of my friends still behind bars and their families who made the trip to see them. Stay strong fellas.
decentralization -> freedom
Is there a way to filter out all of this buzzbot and zap raffle stuff?
Been reading up on the nostr protocol and comparing it to the DSP I wrote about in 2021. Many of the details seem to have been worked out brilliantly, but one thing that worries me is the reliance on volunteer nodes.
It would be nice if there was a business model for nodes and node competition at the protocol level.
As it is, I wonder if nostr can scale.
Just before I take the stage, I'll be hosting a welcome back celebration at @The Bitcoin Conference. Should be great food and a great time. I would love for you to join me.

I'll be mirroring my X account here and hopefully finding some good conversations.
