Oh man, how to get this “zap a note” thingy working on damus? Somehow I haven’t been able to configure the zapplepay-alby thing. I mean I have set it up, multiple times, but it doesn’t work. I must be missing some part of the whole process.

Will the mempool ever get back to low single digits sats/vb again? Ever?

Weird dreams. When are dreams not weird. Btw, that’s due to the fact that in our brain, there’s a reality testing filter, which tones down a few notches while we sleep. How much does the rtf help when we are awake? It’s different for different people and we all view the world differently but during sleep, there are fewer tests done and dreams can thus go bonkers and you can keep guessing the next morning, wth was Halle big in the dream.

Hello, deer family.

Inertia is a bitch.

Is there a downside to adding more relays?

How does one search a username here on damus? It’s impossible to find anyone unless it’s through follower/following of someone you already see here. Searching for a username just brings up hashtag. Or am I missing something basic?

Currently listening to: Your deceptive mind: a scientific guide to critical thinking skills (the great courses) Must say, I had opinions about it before listening and thought it would be the usual motivational stuff. Well, it’s quite different from what I expected although full of examples examples and examples of how mind plays games. Interesting.

Goooood morning, it’s a sunny day today ☀️

Spent last 6 hours building the dumbest automated poster on nostr. And since I’m a n00b as far as programming goes, what would take some one 15-20 mins, took me that long. Am I proud of it? Not really, but I’m quite happy and elated with the little progress I made. And now I have more questions than I had to begin with.

If I was not Alexander, I would wish to be Diogenes

The thing I miss the most about bull run is that no one wants to befriend me by saying “hi” and no one asks me “how’s my trade going” :(

Good things take time. While I’ve always known this, it’s hard to find conviction when you’re in the “valley of self-doubts” while learning a thing and don’t seem to be making any progress and feel like an imposter.

I’ve had varying opinions about Zuckerberg over the decades. From impressive(“social network” induced) to treacherous (“Cambridge Analytica”) to wtf(metaverse) to “he’s onto something” (llama) Say what you will, I’m impressed with his conviction to go all in onto something that seems so ludicrous, and keep at it.

Good night frens

What’s your opinion on UTXO consolidation. As in, what should be the min/max limit as per you for consolidation. Say one has 10 utxos of 1 million sats, would you make it as one utxo of 10 mn or 4 x 2.5mn or let it be 10 x 1mn. There is no perfect answer really but just interested in knowing your opinion. Cause, while consolidating is a wise choice future-fees wise, it is not that great for privacy. Specially if the utxos are already compromised(sent from exchange for eg)

Last time I cheaped out on sats/vb, I had to wait months. Yes months. I promised myself I wouldn’t do that again. One more promise I couldn’t keep.
