Nostr Vlog 18 - AAR from winter ruck match. Really enjoyed the challenge of this competition. Our team finished 19 out 42 total. Practical skills for everyday people, carrying weight, covering distance and precision shooting. Life saving stuff, given the potential conditions. More to come in the future. I’ll do it for Nostr. We need more freedom oriented content.

GM Nostr. This is not fiat.

Nostr Vlog 17 Follow up to my previous. This time a focus on physical training with rifle equipment. Give it a try, you can use any gear you have available. 4 rounds 5 x modified burpee 20 yard shuttle run 10 x alternating lunge 20 yard farmer carry, 20 pounds per side x2 Aim for 6 minutes or less.

Nostr Vlog 16 Quick cold gear shake down in prep for a ruck/shooting competition coming up. If you’re interested in this type of stuff I’ll do more. Training and prepping over the next 6 weeks.

Due to bitcoin podcasts and live streams becoming too centralized, 3 of us Npubs have decided to give our own live stream a shot tomorrow 11/25/25 at 12pm EST. Meet me @Contra and @Anders as we get to know each other more and attempt to spread the word about Bitcoin and Nostr. If anything you will see us work through technical difficulties as we are in different time zones trying to stream live on a protocol that can't be stopped. It's time for grassroots bitcoiners to take the mic. The link to our call is available here on Hivetalk, feel free to jump in the call if you're tuning in. Or watch along on @primal look for the Live Stream indicator under my Npub.

Nostr Group Call #1

First call to figure things out.

Talk me into my next BTC miner. I currently have a Bitaxe gamma solo mining 24/7. Call it my last degenerate behavior lingering from my fiat past, or contributing to the decentralized hash rate. For the next one I would like to serve a higher purpose. I would use it to pool mine with @OCEAN and the proceeds from it I intend to stack in non-KYC cold storage. Reasons being, having to jump ship privately or potential pass down to future generations. Currently I'm looking at a NerdQaxe++ and Canaan Avalon 3S. Both have 6TH/S hash rate at a similar price point. The key difference for me is that I'm familiar with the Bitaxe OS and it will integrate easily with my current miner. The Canaan has its own interface, but has the additional benefit of acting as a small space heater which I could use. Based on this, what would you choose? Do you mine?

I want to stay in this scene for eternity. Outside on a breezy 60F fall day after doing chores to get ready for winter. The wife is inside baking while the 2 youngest nap. I’m outside with the oldest pushing him higher and higher on his swing while our GSD watches on. There is nothing in the world that would make me want to move from this moment. I’m grateful to have overcome the modern nihilism that plagues society, mostly due to fiat. If they could just dig a little deeper, they would find the answer right in front of them. @HODL is right. Having kids is the most important thing you can do with your life. Have kids, in fact have one more than what you are comfortable with. There is no higher achievement.

Everyday I check Datum Gateway and typically find shares accepted = 0. It would be nice to someday see “1” and receive the block reward. Until then, I’m winning the lottery everyday waking up to another day of challenges with a healthy family. There is not much else a man could wish for.

Nostr Vlog 14. 2 insights from Npubs @Anders - finding a great way to educate young men through gamification of education to spark interest. Check his last Vlog @Contra - exposing how many throw value away at frivolous things but then hoard their sats instead of recognizing value. Think Starbucks drive thru for $6 vs. zapping just .00000021 for a truly inspiring note/vlog. Do your actions reflect your values? Or is it just talk? Check his last note.

Great note. The only thing I would add is a miner to complete your load out in this war.

Made this over the summer before vlogs became a thing on Nostr. It was a great year, looking forward to fall and winter now.

Nostr Vlog 9. Core vs. Knots. I encourage you to research this subject and come to your own conclusion. Regardless of what you choose, you will learn something in the process. I personally do not want to store and relay additional data that is unnecessary on my node. This is primarily why I choose Knots and spam filtering. I also believe it’s important to have the blockchain size limited as much as possible so individuals can still afford to run nodes in the future. Lastly, I have not seen a valid reason to increase the OP_RETURN data carrier limit, it provides no value so why change it? Where is the incentive coming from? Let me know your thoughts and what you run on your node. #bitcoin

Nostr Vlog 8 Personal reaction to @Ben Justman🍷's Vlog about the unique characteristic of Bitcoiners that you should think deeply about. Speaking to the parents of young children here. Would your kids appreciate in 15-20 years that you went full Maxi and sold everything (including your time) to stack as much BTC as possible? Likely yes. However, is there a point of diminishing returns where you will be giving up precious time with your young kids just for the sake of stacking sats? Absolutely. It goes without saying our kids would prefer more present, quality time with us over anything of monetary value. Bitcoin is scarce, time with your kids is even more so. As a parent a major aspect of Bitcoin I appreciate is that I will use it to quit trading my time away from family. You going to wait for another cycle to enjoy time with your kids? Too late, they’re grown. Think about it.

No Vlog today, but this was inspired by @HODL from his. Cobbled together some shooting clips from over the years. Train like your life depends on it, because it does. Enjoy, and stay free.

Nostr Vlog #1. Things are getting a little too centralized around @HODL on here, let's do our part to stop that 😂 start your vlog today, I want to hear from grassroots bitcoiners. Anyway, rambling while walking the dog (you need to walk your dog more). Today I talked about companies being first movers on Bitcoin to save themselves during the transition from fiat to the free market. This could be useful if you're concerned about losing your job to AI and still need a way to build your #bitcoin stack. In my mind, if I had an hour to talk to @Jeff Booth this is what I would talk to him about. Maybe if there's interest, a group of us here on Nostr could take on the subject. Cheers

Fun, but also sad to look at old group chats where I tried to convince friends that they needed to study #bitcoin Fiat is a hard vice to kick for some.

It’s not just about #bitcoin. Family is true wealth.
