If you wanted to dedicate ~10 minutes (15 minutes top) of a car ride to a bitcoin-focused podcast or short-story for a non-bitcoiner to listen to, what would you suggest? Something in-between The Tuttle Twins and “Inventing Bitcoin”… #bitcoin #asknostr

Nostr or Bluesky?

GM and GN!! Is there a “right” way to setup your account (npub/nsec) when extensions like nos2x will be used? I probably did it wrong years ago, but I created the account using Damus.

(Using the native bitcoin sensor in HA points to blockchain.com which always had stale data for me.) I then setup an automation in my office (where I do WFH), where the office lights blink when a new block is mined. Here is how it looks (I sped the playback for each block after the first few blinks):

Hello! Are there any Imams here? I would like your opinion on #bitcoin Is it considered *halal* investing because you aren’t earning interest and it is clean? Or is it *haram*? Considered gambling, taboo…? Is there a definitive answer?
