Sup nostriches? It’s been a minute. Is anyone in NYC tonight? I think I saw that our friend nostr:npub1ahxjq4v0zlvexf7cg8j9stumqp3nrtzqzzqxa7szpmcdgqrcumdq0h5ech is doing a book launch at nostr:npub1key55ax33gkl50uqemvl4khrtqrhzm7wzpc7fhseutt5ddkcwcrqgxlt3h if I’m not mistaken. Who’s going? I’m hoping to drop by before catching a late train back to MA. #grownostr #plebchain #asknostr

Great rip, as usual nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx nostr:npub1guh5grefa7vkay4ps6udxg8lrqxg2kgr3qh9n4gduxut64nfxq0q9y6hjy FYI, there are 28 grams in a normal ounce, but #gold (and other precious metals) are measured in “Troy ounces” which contain just over 31 grams of metal. A one-ounce gold coin is about 1.2-1.3 inches in diameter. So yeah, you could fit a bitcoin worth of gold in your pocket 🫡 https://fountain.fm/episode/zUf1GECZxsqmjVpkztET

GM while it’s still M 🌇✌️ #coffeechain

Question for nostr:npub1s0vtkgej33n7ec4d7ycxmwt78up8hpfa30d0yfksrshq7t82mchqynpq6j Passport users: That replaceable, rechargeable battery… how long is its lifespan? A certain number of charges? Have any of you had to replace one before? The paranoid bitcoiner in me would wonder if some aftermarket replacement battery could somehow compromise the device… #asknostr

GM 🌇 Started the day with stretching and pull ups. Listening to nostr:npub1jcympy69pht7ptan39se4nd09e4q66qhey649uu3rczm2zh88c7s0n2890 and wondering about something… Could Bitcoin support a feature similar to #Monero ’s full-chain-membership-proofs (to improve privacy on-chain) without significant sacrifices to its decentralization or security?

Wow, I’m loving how Fountain just subtly introduced a “switch to video” option for any podcast that has a video version. Personally I listen far more than watch (on the subway, background at the office, walking in the city, etc.) but an option this seamless might get me to switch, at least when I’m stationary. It’s amazing to see how ubiquitous podcasts have become. I remember when it was a niche, kind of nerdy alternative, somewhere between radio news and an audiobook (or, I’ll date myself, a book-on-tape). Now, anyone (and it seems like almost everyone) with access to modern tech can ingest information this way, ranging from education to entertainment. (The term “content consumption” fits the bill, but I’m feeling curmudgeonly and weary of business buzzwords this morning, lol). Add to this, Nostr and the value-for-value exchange model, and you get a new (user-aligned) incentive model. And with AI, it’s a matter of time until every show can be translated into every language, if we’re not already there. Talk about free information. Speech is “freed” by this, in a way. Freed from geographic and linguistic restraints. This is good for humanity… At least on principle… Onward 🫡 #grownostr #v4v #valueforvalue

Hey nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 team! I’ve been living under a rock the past few months and just getting up to speed with the new wallet config. Mine appears to still be connected via NWC to my node, but also seems like it’s waiting for me to set up something. Any advice? Seems my zaps don’t go through. Might just try resetting the connection. Stay tuned. #asknostr cc nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s nostr:npub1zafcms4xya5ap9zr7xxr0jlrtrattwlesytn2s42030lzu0dwlzqpd26k5

Wifey was away this weekend, so I binge-watched Zero Day on Netflix. The reference to bitcoin mining in episode 1 was fun. Robert De Niro and the rest of the cast were excellent. Some bits of the narrative seemed a bit forced, but overall it was a very satisfying show. Would recommend 🫡 #grownostr

Why would disabling “make public” (to peers) in Bitcoin Core cause electrs to crash? Getting this warning from nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll Shouldn’t it be possible to keep the node “private” but still get inbound data from peers? Or perhaps I don’t understand properly what I’m editing… #asknostr

Got a new toy this week. I’m not usually a fan of carbon fiber handles on pocket knives, but these “lava flow” handle scales have really nice, grippy feel… and the action is soooo smooth: no assisted opening mechanism, but a light flick of the thumb is all it takes. Also, the battle-washed blade is sleek, no? I must confess, I’ve re-started a small knife collection, after the blades I originally acquired in my adolescence got misplaced between moving, growing up, etc.) I’ll share photos of some of the others this week, if I have a chance. Since I should blame someone other than myself for this occasionally pricey hobby, I remember nostr:npub1f6ugxyxkknket3kkdgu4k0fu74vmshawermkj8d06sz6jts9t4kslazcka‘s note last summer or fall, sharing a slick customized Leatherman. Anyway, Ava, I must thank you for reigniting the collector’s spark for me 😉 #grownostr #knifestr #photostr
