People on X seem so desperate for engagement and staying relevant, it hurts

After all,
Why wouldn't you consolidate 2 UTXOs into a smaller amount one? 

This year I want to double my commits.
It's really cool that we get to learn and build in public.
I'm no @UNCLE ROCKSTAR but I'm ramping up.


See if you put on that necklace
‘Cause tomorrow’s Sunday
And I want everyone to notice
The way it shines
Right at the tip of your neckline
And if someone asks
Say I bought it for you
Nobody needs to know
That I stole it ‘cause of you
And if someone starts to doubt
‘Cause I ain’t got a dime
Say it’s just some ordinary
Fake jewelry this time
I’ve never been a great thief
Never pulled off a perfect crime
I guess it was passion
That sharpened my mind
So put on that necklace
‘Cause tomorrow’s Sunday
And I want everyone to notice
The way it shines
Right at the tip of your neckline


SPX/XAU still on the same price level as 1973...

Show me your kind:3 and I’ll tell you who you are.

I accepted a job working for PubKy 🥰🥰🥰
Vibe coding is great but then you find yourself doing the refactor of the refactor of the refactor

Hey @ODELL , saw you mention the @Chain Duel hack on the @TFTC podcast. Just wanted to say the Chain Duel guys love you too 💜
We fully agree security is critical. While the system wasn’t perfect, this hack wasn’t related to vibe coding, the node was assembled before that was even a thing.
The exploit was external to us: Alby had removed the default Umbrel option that required authentication. That’s now fixed.


When I explain my friends about inflation


I wanted to share two Bitcoin and Nostr native tools that have proven extremely effective for real-world adoption at conferences and community events: @PUBPAY.me LIVE and @Chain Duel.
PubPay LIVE adds a live value-for-value layer to talks using Lightning + Nostr. Each performer gets a live QR on screen, letting the audience zap sats and send comments that appear instantly. It turns passive observers into engagers and onboards people to Lightning and Nostr without friction.
Chain Duel complements this on the competitive side. It’s a multiplayer Lightning game where players scan a QR, deposit sats via LNURL, duel in real time, and the winner takes the pot. It’s one of the simplest ways to make Lightning “click” through play.
Together, they work before, during, and after talks — onboarding users, creating real economic activity, and making Bitcoin tangible rather than theoretical.
