Sunday Brunch Ep 10 is live ☕🎶⚡️ This week’s guest-DJ is @AZA_21m , and the vibe is classic Brunch: coffee on the table, records spinning, and the house rule intact: 90% of sats streamed during songs goes straight to the artist. We talk: – @Amplified Tunes and building a more human music-discovery node around Nostr + Lightning – why artist connection matters more when fans can actually reach the musician directly – a possible physical magazine layer for the ecosystem – the growing Europe/UK V4V scene – and Aza’s work with Bitcoin Junior Club / bitcoin4youth, helping kids and families engage Bitcoin through creativity and critical thinking Plus a playlist that travels from economic-anxiety ballads to teenage-time-machine energy. Artists featured: @Zemar Red @My_friend_jimi @Haleen @Jaded Jester The Fifty Four Plates, and Silver Unit Executive Producer: @Strange Love https://fountain.fm/episode/XmmgTsbbeA3AOK6pqxWD

New Plebchain Radio is live 🔔⚡️🟣 Ep. 155 with @utxo the webmaster 🧑‍💻 is a builders’ episode: permissionless doesn’t remove gravity, it just removes excuses. We get into: – why the latest “politicians + Wall Street” Bitcoin cycle felt dirty and why Bitcoin can’t survive as asset-only – the state of Nostr client UX and why UTXO built Wisp for Android (inbox/outbox, basics, shipping) – Nostr DMs: NIP-04 vs NIP-17 vs the next thing, and the current interoperability trench war – replacing Nostr.band-style search/trending with real ranking signals + “trending as relay feeds” – wallets + NWC-first UX, and why Lightning still fails when your node sneezes If you care about Nostr actually working for normal humans, this one’s for you. https://fountain.fm/episode/vtuRsWMgAjZmq8AbShMh

Having written one full fiction book and ~70% of another in the past 1.5 years of the “reasoning” AI era, one thing is abundantly clear to me: AI is dreadful, cringe even, at writing creative fiction even with the most elaborate prompts – I haven’t used a shred of what it’s given me. That includes Opus 4.6. However it is exceptionally good (and getting better, especially Opus) at editing – developmental, line, and copy. This has been invaluable for me in the writing process.
