At the 2025 #catholiccreatorconference in Steubenville OH

Just set up a new channel via nostr:nprofile1qqsrf5h4ya83jk8u6t9jgc76h6kalz3plp9vusjpm2ygqgalqhxgp9gpzemhxue69uhkzarvv9ejumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqgkwaehxw309a3xjarrda5kuetj9eek7cmfv9kqs6xl8h, but I can't get any payments through it. This is after restoring my wallet. Should I close the channel and start a new node?

I have a conference I'm attending in two days with a ton of creators, mostly YouTube and podcast. Who'd like to help me orange and purple pill a bunch of them?

I'm fairly certain my old npub (this one) will still have better engagement, and it doesn't look like my leak went anywhere, so I might just revert to using it again.

Alright ... So I leaked my NSEC, and I've started a new NPUB @nostr:npub1etrvvjyl6tllrhxakezj3rkxftkh3yv8m998fvlqpt87dtdngkzqhl3zeq, updated my NIP05, etc. I also re-followed everyone. What else should I do? #askNostr #oops I don't think re-signing my old notes is a good idea, nor probably possible.

Leaked my NSEC. Oops. Moving to new npub: @npub1etrvvjyl6tllrhxakezj3rkxftkh3yv8m998fvlqpt87dtdngkzqhl3zeq

Created my very first Rust GUI app, and it took far too long! Haha! It's a simple Tic-Tac-Toe game built on Rust+Slint. Also, #askNostr, why is it 213.2MB!?! It should be something like 750kB!

If Nostr was around during the block size wars, would the bitcoin software have changed direction? I learned recently that, while I was still new to bitcoin, the big blockers were kicked from the forums. No wonder I didn't really header much about it. Censorship hurt the community and caused a split on the network. Unity is deeply important, and that was a bad call by the Core devs and forum mods. I think it's also bad that those two sets had such overlap.

Still listening to #HijackingBitcoin. I got into Bitcoin in 2016, right as the block size war was coming to a head, but I heard almost nothing about it. I heard about BCH, but I always thought it was a spinoff that was more separate. I'm learning a lot about the real history of the development. I'm still not a big block Bitcoiner, but I do agree that the core devs did unnecessarily prevent the block size increases that were actually intended. We still need secondary layers, too, because the use and the verifiability need some level of decentralization. Who else has read or listened to the book?

Wow! This is an air exhaust vent, not for water. That's frozen condensation! Haha!

So, how long until the recently released Ross gets purple pilled? #freeRoss
