I sell lights @ apogeehouse.com, an architectural lighting, fans, & controls distributor. Fan of financial markets, tech & BBQ. Always learning. Using nostr to share what I have learned. Nothing I say is financial or medical advice. Assume everything I say is wrong. Do your own research.

Anyone have any issues updating an email address with @strike? No way to update myself, have to contact support within the app. Received a reply today asking for: - Phone number - Previous transaction details - Bank info - Reason why I’m changing email address - New email address These I’m fine with, but they also ask one last item which I’m uncomfortable with: - Photo of myself, holding an ID, and a hand-written note with my request. (Aka the hostage photo) I hesitate to send the photo because of data breaches and leaks (for example Twilio data breach less than a week ago). I would prefer to not have even more of my info out there, especially to just update an email address. I’ve updated email addresses with banks, brokers, and other exchanges in the last week and haven’t had this requirement come up. Anyone else experience this? Can you help @jack mallers ? #asknostr #plebchain

Hello #nostriches! Trying to brainstorm how to get my business to grow on #nostr and #bitcoin. Anyone have any ideas of ways I can sell/promote on nostr and other related ways? I’m aware Shopify/Woocommerce + btcpay, any other ideas to consider? I sell lighting fixtures, fans, and controls mainly as we are lighting and electrical distributors but also provide lighting consultation and related services. Open to any ideas! #asknostr #pleb #plebchain #business #gn

Operation brisket finale! The result after 4 hours of rest was really great. Worth the effort. Unfortunately, ribs were devoured before photos could be taken. Also came out great. Credit mostly goes to the pellet grill for handling the work. Happy 4th and good night! #gn #foodstr #meatstr #proofofsteak #bbq #bbqstr image View quoted note →

Operation brisket update: the wrap Take out around 185° to wrap in butcher paper with a few large gobs of tallow underneath. Fold over twice and place back on smoker (ends up in the same position). Now wait another hour or two to proceed to phase 3: the rest (AKA holding the line and telling people it’s “done” but not “ready” yet). #grillstr #bbq #bbqstr #meatstr #foodstr View quoted note →

Operation brisket: Phase 2 Good morning! Over half way through with the #brisket cook. Forgot the pork ribs were also taken out so seasoned those and put them on. Should be done around the same time as the brisket. #gm #foodstr #proofofsteak #grillstr #bbq #bbqstr #smoker #tallow #ribs #pork #nostr #plebs View quoted note →

Brisket prep day! Phase 1: Trim, season, and place on pellet #grill. Looking forward to this one. Honestly, the prep is a chore. Approx 30 mins trimming and seasoning. This will take a while, about 12-16 hours low and slow plus a minimum 2 hour rest. #brisket #bbq #bbqstr #grillstr #patience #lowandslow #foodstr #smoked #nostr #gn

The balance-sheet cheat sheet: Hold hard assets and cash-flowing assets on the asset side and debt on the liabilities side. Method: Use debt to obtain the best cash-flowing assets (real estate rental property for example) using as much of other people’s money as possible. The hard part is finding assets which a positive yield. A higher return than your interest payments (cost of capital). Save any surplus cash in hard assets. Do your own research but some examples are #bitcoin, rare art/cars/watches, #gold, S&P 500 index, short-term treasuries, etc. Avoid holding much cash (the saying cash is trash comes to mind). Repeat. #learn #nostr #nostriches #pleb #plebchain #cheatsheet #fiat #assets #debt #value #dyor #wealth
