to understand ehash a little better and I’m still confused about the tokens. It mentions they accrue value until some point and then are redeemable for bitcoin. Do they have an expiration? For example, if I have 100 sats worth of ehash at maturity can I hold it indefinitely? Then maybe a year from now (assuming the pool is still active) I can redeem or does it expire at some block height? Sorry if it’s a dumb question and let me know if there are other docs to read up on.

I make a lot of old references but I promise I’m not a boomer.

In Carl Sagan’s voice: “And here is an example of a state change from potential value to kinetic value. This person transforms their physical representation of a store of value into a digital medium of exchange.” When will these machines deposit to an on-chain address? View quoted note →

Don’t give personal details to your hardware wallet provider, folks. Always use a pseudonym. Even if you don’t ship directly to your house in many cases your home address is easily discoverable. This attack was possible thanks to a breach that happened 5 years ago. For now it’s just a stupid letter but home invasions happen too. View quoted note →

Is anyone working on a DVMCP for code editing? For example, is there a Nostr native way to integrate coding agents into an editor so we can use sats instead of a subscription to Anthropic or Github? Most people don’t have the hardware to run local models at the speed required for active coding. #asknostr

Fix the small problems because compound interest doesn’t just apply to finance. That small leak in your window can lead to basement flooding eventually. Being sedentary every day will over time lower your quality of life. If you have a lot of small TODOs it’s easy to put them all off because it’s daunting but focus on making any improvement at all and celebrate the progress.

“It’s over” is a bit dramatic but it does send a signal that the Core devs have lost their way. The mining pools have become more and more centralized and now the core devs are slowly taking away mempool voting from the nodes. View quoted note →

I used to want to be a comedian who ripped off Mitch Hedberg lines. I still do but I used to, too.

Imagine a world with a nasty 0-day in Bitcoin core and we didn’t have Nostr. And then Google, MSFT, and Twitter can be coerced into censoring awareness and even the patch. Grateful for all the hard work so many are putting into realizing Nostr’s potential 🙏
