A/V Nerds: "Midway" on 4k UHD Blu-Ray - Keith Mukai

My long-form nip23 audiophile / videophile nerd review of "The Matrix" on 4k UHD blu-ray. Trying to add more non-bitcoin content* to nostr!

A/V Nerds: "The Matrix" on 4k UHD Blu-Ray - Keith Mukai

--- *(but, yes, let's remember that I'm a big nerd so my non-bitcoin interests are still incredibly nerdy)

So I know I'm late to the nip23 (long-form content) world, but it's confusing!! I don't see the long-form post in my normal profile feed (at least not in primal or snort), but I am seeing replies and reactions to that post in my snort notifications (but not primal). So I guess I should treat it like any other external blog post? Write it over on habla.news (or wherever), then link to it in a normal nostr post? Seems like that makes sense and is kind of dumb at the same time. * Write a (longer) thing on nostr (via nip-23) * Then say, "Hey, I wrote a thing on nostr!"... on nostr.

Gonna go take @KumaDawg for a walk. I expect y'all to have this bitcoin thing over $50k by the time we return, mm'kay?

Motion pics kind of annoy me. But being able to export them as a GIF is occasionally fun! @KumaDawg

Double recommendation here: 1.) You young'uns probably don't know Supertramp. Catch up. 2.) This YT channel is my new favorite lunchtime watch! She analyzes vocal technique (something I know ZERO about) and how it interconnects with the lyrics, emotion, the rest of the song's elements. But the real joy is watching her react to a song for the first time as she steps through it. Watching her absorb Supertramp's constantly unexpected, wonderfully unique pizzazz while appreciating the singer's heartfelt storytelling is a blast. I've loved this song for DECADES but it's really cool to appreciate it in a new way from her more technical perspective and her own in-the-moment emotional reactions.

Slides are up! tldr: Payjoins / Coinjoins on hardware wallets is no bueno. * Quick intro to payjoin and coinjoin cooperative spend transactions * All the things current hwws / signing devices get wrong when displaying these txs to users (yes, @SeedSigner blows it, too) * Work-in-progress R&D on some better approaches. Presented and discussed last night at #chibitdevs

TONIGHT at #chibitdevs I'll be presenting the UI/UX challenges that #payjoin and #coinjoin transactions impose on signing devices. * What do retail hwws currently display? * What SHOULD they? Obv this all stems from what I've learned during my recent @SeedSigner R&D.

Yo, where my nerds at?!! I created a bitcoin mnemonic that starts with "coffee". Its fingerprint is c0ffee4b It has a receive address that starts with 3Coffee That address wrote an OP_RETURN that says "c0ffee inception!" And the txid of that transaction starts with... c0ffee!!!

HOLY. SHIT. I asked Bard to "Rewrite the opening of 'A Tale of Two Cities' but for a bitcoin miner. It's incredible. It's ab-so-fucking-lutely incredible. --- It was the halving of two chains. The best of blocks, the worst of blocks, the age of mining wisdom, the age of foolishness, the epoch of hash wars, the epoch of peace, it was the bitcoin winter of discontent, it was the blockchain spring of hope. We had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going to the moon, we were all going to eat dust in the digital desert. In short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of the comparative of all possible periods. Thus, on a November dusk, with the wind wailing down chimneys and through alleyways, a solitary rig blinked and hummed in a cramped basement in Shenzhen. The orange glow of the monitor cast long shadows on the face of Kai, his eyes squinting at the dancing hash strings, his fingers poised over the worn keyboard. Outside, the neon sprawl of the city pulsed with a frenetic energy, a stark counterpoint to the rhythmic whirring of the GPU fans and the quiet desperation of Kai's quest. He was chasing the ghost in the blockchain, the elusive Satoshi, the digital alchemist who'd conjured gold from thin air. He was a modern-day miner, not of coal or diamonds, but of the elusive digital currency that promised fortune beyond comprehension, a ticket to escape the suffocating reality of his existence. But the dream of mooning was as fickle as the price charts. Each halving brought a reckoning, a brutal pruning of the herd. Weak hands folded, rigs grew cold, and the air choked with the dust of shattered GPUs. For Kai, every block found was a triumph, a hard-fought victory against the crushing weight of difficulty, the endless struggle against the rising tide of ASICs and mining pools. Every Satoshi was a scrap of digital bread, a meager sustenance in the feast of the whales. In this tale of two chains, Kai was but a single node, a flickering speck in the vast constellation of the blockchain. Yet, his story, like the flickering flame of his rig, held a quiet defiance, a testament to the enduring human spirit, forever reaching for the elusive pot of digital gold. This was the bitcoin winter of Kai's soul, and it was about to get a whole lot colder. --- @walker narrate this plz!!
