GM Nostr! Happy Monday! Saw a post yesterday that showed that there are only 2,000 or so BTC nodes operating in the US. And out of curiosity, I looked up on meshmap and saw there are about 1,500 #meshtastic nodes...(of course with far fewer users) What this says to me is that we need to have more people running BTC nodes! Seriously, it's neither hard, nor expensive. Grab a Raspberry Pi5, a 1TB SSD (min) and Umbrel and you're up and running...for about $125 or so. Oh--and you'll need a cup of coffee while you plug it in! That's it! #coffeechain

GM Nostr! Happy Thursday! Day after Christmas--looking forward to all the leftovers! (But always have fresh coffee!) #coffeechain

Merry Christmas Nostr! Our Savior is born!

GM Nostr! Happy Christmas Eve! Always enjoy Christmas Eve--cooking, baking, music and getting ready for Christmas! And start it off (of course) with a great cup of coffee!! Merry Christmas everyone! #coffeechain

GM Nostr! Happy Monday! 'Twas the day before the day before Christmas, And all through the realm, Not a Nostrich was stirring, not even @ODELL (Drat, I need more coffee to finish this...maybe a few other folks can help me out?) #coffeechain

GM Nostr! Happy Sunday! Had a thought--why don't we implement "inverse" zaps in Nostr? So everyone is saying there's currently not a good way for developers to be paid for their efforts--what if everyone was required to expose a portion of their wallets for "inverse zaps" (say 10% or so?) and anyone with a worthwhile project could then unilaterally "withdraw" some of those zaps to cover their costs? The developers could then create products that could benefit everyone...after all, they would know what the best products would be, and we (as users) would be able to then directly support those efforts. If everyone was required to chip in their fair share, then we'd all benefit. Devs of course would only withdraw what they needed for each project., but I'm betting with such a guaranteed income, we'd all find that there would soon be a plethora of great projects coming our way. In the event we found there were more projects than current inverse zaps could support, we can simply increase the "inverse zap" required percentage for everyone. Seems like a win-win... (And before I get permanently muted, please recognize this is sarcasm, using inverse zaps as a metaphor for governmental taxation) Time for coffee... #coffeechain #asknostr

Saw this elsewhere and had to share...

GM Nostr! Happy Saturday! Hoping today is as nice as yesterday - have some work outside to do, so would welcome another warm, sunny day! And will certainly start it off with a coffee and some zaps. #coffeechain
