Nick Befort shot this video of our set last night through a crystal. It's proof crystal bullshit can cure afflictions, namely my ED.

Bitcoin hasn't convinced me as a decentralized self-custodial day to day money. Lightning isn't a fully scaled solution without some of the same issues as fiat and the self custodial experience is not really great for a normal person. An alternate solution might come though by the time it matters. I'm not heavily invested in Bitcoin beyond a little bit for technical curiosity and testing, and I'm 0 invested in other crypto. Still, I do find exploration of consensus models really interesting and worthwhile. I think some of the things Mina are doing are very appealing but I still think it's early in marrying it's concepts. I think being automatically dismissive of crypto projects that are earnestly exploring is bad blinding logic just the same as lumping Bitcoin's progress and position along with other existing crypto, as many uniformed folks do. Bitcoin probably has proven itself as a hardened steel solid store of value though.
The flotilla client is focused more on a discord/chat experience, but it's the setup I've been harping on forever that should run something like Reddit/thread experience. Each community/sub should be a relay (or a set for redundancy) that is friendly to diy set up. And the clients are viewers/aggregators that show one or multiple community's comment at at time with easy switching. When I first heard of Ditto I thought it was that but I find out it kind of implements some of the issues I have with mastodon into nostr

Real people from bands I've played with on tour are showing up on Bluesky and finding me. I only use bluesky and nostr apps for protocol development watching. Still, actual people I know being accessible is one slight bonus. Helps make up for the presently inferior atprotocol.
I actually have a #Bitcoin question that I think most of you can answer, so it's finally advantageous to be here being nostr dev updates.
If a person does recurring btc buys from a exchange, say every fucking day even, then also maybe adds here and there from gifts, zaps, etc. and then 50 years later cashes out, how tf would you calculate the cap gains based on how long you've had every little segment of money from a ton of sources? Does the currency (or rather the ledger location information?) itself hold all that historical buy/transfer date information and an app/wallet can just calculate all of in an automated way?
Random thing I'd like: Would be cool is a RSS client that uses NOSTR or a DVM as the decentralized RSS search source, but the reader itself showed RSS feed directly vs creating Nostr profiles. I just feel RSS is decentralized in concept enough not to need that extra middle man over-engineering, but what it lacks is a decentralized source for ease of use in setting up feeds and discovery for users. Nostr as a whole would be the decentralized repository to search for and add RSS feeds to this app. You wouldn't need people making specific RSS lists on listr either, just people using some extension like RSSHub to extract RSS urls and send out that as a note of a certain kind or hashtag or something. Not sure if people would appreciate a whole kind being dedicated to an RSS feed url, but certainly would make creating a client easier.

Fun times. If I had any advice to younger people getting older. Make a band or bookclub or DnD group or something. It's hard to keep up with friends unless you schedule it. Flight the urge to stay home every once in a while.
