Really enjoying the @Bitcoin Design accessibility calls today. Jason has a wealth of knowledge and the workshops get super hands-on.

Mobile Bitcoin Wallet Usage Survey in Japan– Key Findings
Last month, we conducted a survey focused on mobile Bitcoin wallet usage in Japan.

I asked Claude to do a usability review of nosta.me. It spent 15 minutes to successfully set up a profile and put together a nice usability report.
Prompt and report are included in a doc under the video. If you're working on a web app, I recommend doing this to get a good baseline review. Just let it run during your next coffee break.
Also, here's the account it set up:

Nostr profiles. Nice and easy.
Spent the weekend with my son on the Runway 48-hour hackathon and we came up with this goofy short-film. Was a great chance to tinker with all the latest AI video/image/sound tools. Tons of limitations still, but also very powerful (and fun).
Have you tried Saving Satoshi to learn bitcoin tech & coding? Would love to hear what you think.

Explore the mysteries of Satoshi and learn about bitcoin along the way.
One of the best parts about open-source bitcoin is collaborating with so many friendly, interesting, and talented people from all over the world. Truly borderless and permissionless.
So if we want scaling and we're strict about self-custody, then is bitcoin + lightning + ark a promising combo moving forward? Settlement, interconnectivity and payment hubs?
Fully in event planning mode at the moment. Between the Designathon, Oslo Freedom Forum, BTC Prague, and Presidio Bitcoin events, there's a lot to organize in the Bitcoin Design Community. If you're looking for opportunities to tinker on fun bitcoin stuff with fun people, take a peek at the Designathon (global), Bitcoin 2025 hackathon (global), and the upcoming BTC++ (Austin) one.
Thanks to all who chip in on making these events happen.

How about a comment screener (like Hey)? New comments on your posts are first in an inbox. If you accept it, or whitelist the person, it shows up for you. Others can choose whether to see all or only approved comments.
Hard to make a better case for bitcoin as a credibly neutral global money than the global news section of the HRF financial freedom report.
Turkish Lira in Free Fall, Cubans Unable to Access Remittances, and Pakistan Plans to Regulate Digital Assets.
Is this good UX?


To all the Nostr builders, how is the Nostrability project working out in helping improve interoperability? Is it something you participate in?
