100pro agree to your comments on sponsors going south. V4V is the way. Love your show! I hope I find a way to just boost using straight forward lightning. Love my non-v2 podcasting app. https://fountain.fm/show/51hgGerqfMRRaqT5npXx

What do you think will happen to Bitcoin's price once it is done falling? Exaclty!

I am getting relay time-outs... if you care for what I have to say 🤨, wss://relay.mess.ch is where you find me.

As we work with AI smartly, we will get a massive productivity boost. And we get evaluated and rated by the engine. There will be committees assembled by the leading AI engines and some of you will get a call and perhaps even a medal like "Member of the Global Brain Atrophy Committee" ... jk ..., but realistic it is to be expected.

Working with ChatGPT is like working with an optimistic colleague who takes one step at a time and takes feedback really well. This is me and ChatGPT writing a little Rust program that calculates the final seedword for a set of 11 or 23. The draft was straightforward; if the code failed to compile, I would poke back and get these replies. It is funny how it would say, "You are slicing..." when the code was written by ChatGPT just five minutes ago. However, with a bit of tweaking, I got a working program. - Ah, good catch! That’s due to a change in the crate structure in the newer versions of bip39. The MnemonicType was moved or renamed. - Ah yes — another subtle change in the bip39 crate! - Ah! Got it — thanks for catching that. The issue here is that in the newer bip39 crate versions, Language is an enum, and its word list is not accessed via .wordlist() anymore. - Ah yes — this error means you're slicing a string (&bits[..entropy_bits_required]) at a character index that doesn’t exist. Let's break it down...

GM - I completed the new backup project using the proxmox backup server software running on a supermicro hardware (this plus Bitcoin = peace of mind 🧘‍♂️)

Today, I analyzed the Ethereum blockchain and found that about half of all bits are zero. This just cannot be sound money.

I could use some help. Every time I try to sign into a new app using nos2x-fox, I get 12 pages of signing requests from yakihonne.com. What is happening, and how can I get rid of it?

My feed here on Nostr is the most intellectually honest stream of info apart from DMs.

GM 🍀 friends - my coffeemaker takes about 20 minutes to get ready - enough to fold stacking sats into the morning routine

This is too good not to get up at night to buy corn. The outlook for #Bitcoin is as strong as last month, and the entry price has improved as quite a few people need liquidity.

Today: dd.mm.yyyy = 25.02.(20+25)^2

I asked ChatGPT to estimate the likelihood of the following opcodes being merged and deployed in the next five years: OP_CTV, 50-70%, simple, well-reviewed, useful for scaling. OP_CAT, 30-50%, more general-purpose, but not urgent. OP_VAULT, 30-50%, niche use case, but useful for security. OP_CSFS, 10-30%, powerful but complex and controversial. Are these reasonable?

Poisson distribution: 40 minutes without a block and now four blocks in two minutes

FIAT money is little more than state-controlled karma points. Exchange your points for Bitcoin to maintain purchasing power.

Manipulating money is a crime, which makes Bitcoin prices one of the most powerful coordination tools in human civilization.

It may be routine for you and obvious. Still, if I am honest, it blows my mind that it is possible today (as compared to 2000), to get a decent barebone with incredibly cheap and colossal RAM and storage and network interfaces and fail-overs, install bitcoind, electrs, cln, lnbits, nutshell, RTL, nextcloud, onlyoffice, jitsi, photo prism, listmonk, WordPress, transmission, ... all for FUCKING free, if (big if) you know how this shit works. I remember paying dozens of thousands of dollars annually for WebEx in the early 0 years. But you know what: back then, people would join just because of the video conferencing tech and tell their loved ones about it at dinner or breakfast (depending on time zones); my product was the add-one ;-) I bought their shares before Cisco acquired them, waaaay before Eric Yuan started Zoom. Here we are 25 years later, and FOSS is king. Love it.
