Do notes posted on zapddt show as “normal” notes on other clients? Example post/note: 7fd6ed9a9e2db590d04a1c9bb352586f5093afd8b53e15a24604d01831bcad06

None of us will be here in 100 years based on current public data, so what do you think nostr will be like in 2124? I’d like to see fully integrated messaging (notes) with payments (lightning) as the standard for every Earthling. Plus protocols to block bad actors (e.g. spam bots) from participating. I know some of this exists today, but it’s not “standard” like brushing your teeth. View quoted note →

I ordered the “Bitcoin Coffee Table Book: Volume Zero” book ~2 weeks ago to add to my collection. It arrived today. The book is beautiful; however, it wasn’t packed optimally by the Amazon person (?) and once it arrived by USPS (i.e. tossed over the gate), one of the corners is not “perfect”. Should I request an exchange?

H.R.4763 - Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act #FIT21 “This bill establishes a regulatory framework for digital assets. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) must regulate a digital asset as a commodity if the blockchain, or digital ledger, on which it runs is functional and decentralized. The bill classifies a blockchain as decentralized if, among other requirements, no person has unilateral authority to control the blockchain or its usage, and no issuer or affiliated person has control of 20% or more of the digital asset or the voting power of the digital asset.”

Assuming that #bitcoin does not die within the next 38 blocks, it will have been three years, eleven months, and eight days (in my local time zone) for the last 210,000 blocks to be mined. Per my calculation, that makes Epoch IV (four) the longest so far with the first Epoch only a couple weeks shorter. image View quoted note →
