Enjoyed reading "Bitcoin ist Freiheit" by nostr:nprofile1qqs985gwfncy27y7jtkqclfs5lckknc8vt59eqkyee74hn9k820j6aspzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtceppwey. Liked the analogy between bitcoin transaction hardening like cement over time and the comparison between Bitcoin’s "security budget" and that of the Swiss army. Spoiler alert: the former is now way higher.

Published a tutorial how to setup a private nostr home relay: https://stacker.news/items/1297484

Finished reading "Praxeology" by nostr:nprofile1qqsf9jl9scw0c5snmkylpfhkppzgd7z7dupul6ms5yl52kfcz9jr8wqpz3mhxue69uhk2mmnw3skwunpd5hxxmmd9uq36amnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3dxqcju7tpdd5ksmmwdejjucm0d5hszymhwden5te0wp6hyurvv4cxzeewv4ej74773v7 that Knut kindly signed for me in Lugano. It's a book about the foundations of bitcoin as Austrian economics, natural law etc. but without mentioned bitcoin directly. For the latter you can only find hints as the twenty-one chapters, the orange disk on the cover picture etc. You have to do the work yourself and you will find the orange future on your own.

Created my own version of a Bitcoin block clock showing the stats of my own node and services including forwarded lightning payments, found mining shares by the Bitaxe etc.

"The Man Without Qualities" written by Robert Musil describes a society in which people possess expertise only in their square millimeter of knowledge. That is exactly what we see with some bitcoin core developer and their groupies. There we encounter single‑track minds that refuse to abstract beyond their narrow expertise and to view the bigger picture. Their argumentation only reflects their square millimeter of knowledge and any other input from outside that area is vehemently rejected.

Not fixing the bugs that are enabling the abuse of the Bitcoin time chain and rewriting the documentation is the dangerous precedent here. Framing it the other way around is just Orwellian newspeak. Hackers do not have rights to abuse the system that have to be protected by the community.

Being able to set up your own Nostr relay for storing your posts is a powerful expression of your digital sovereignty.

The datum gateway from Ocean was really the missing part that brings together mining equipment and your full node in an easy and modern fashion.

Solo mining without constructing your own block template somehow misses the point. Configure datum gateway for solo mining to be a real sovereign solo miner.

"Four Horsemen" is a documentary movie with a collectivist mindset and therefore it seems not appropriate to cite it positively in an anarcho‑capitalist bitcoin context.

On the ground, the Knots vs Core debate is clearer. The applause during the Lugano panel — and if you talk to people — suggests that support for Knots is stronger than what the internet discourse implies.

Those companies do need some competion as they are not really costumer friendly and efficient anyway.

Why is Stephan Livera moderating the Knots vs. Core debate in Lugano? He is clearly not neutral and independet on this topic.

Paying the stay at the hotel in Lugano with Aqua wallet with a liquid Boltz lightning swap almost timeout out, but finally finished just in time. In terms of amout it was certainly a higher one I did so far.

I have chosen my seat carefully for my travel to plan B forum in Lugano

Bitcoin only endures when its community follows the mantra “Slay your hero”. If the bitcoin social layers bows to the authoritarian technocrats bitcoin has failed. Think for yourself and unfollow corrupted people. We already have lost many once leading people on the path and more may fall in the future.

A zap is a microtransaction and somewhat a better appreciation than a like. As nostr:nprofile1qqsf9jl9scw0c5snmkylpfhkppzgd7z7dupul6ms5yl52kfcz9jr8wqpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtcpzdmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ue0qy28wumn8ghj7un9d3shjctzd3jjummjvuhsmqezp2 still denies the usefulness of microtransactions he should consequently not have a zapping address on his nostr profile. 😉

With more than 20% running an alternative client this pipe dream about an homogeneous mempool has failed.
