Human thought entropy is very low. In 90s film The Game, Michael Douglas answers bunch of questions, which later some software uses to get crack all his passwords. AI tools can easily do this now by profiling users on posts etc, and will only get better. Public-key crypto is the clear and simplest solution, which the world will soon use. R&D on key management tools we build in nostr and bitcoin will be very important and utilised everywhere.

Was doing some updates to nostr.com. Is it okay to put Bluesky here?

Does Satlantis use Where39 @Svetski?

Tell a normal person to sign up to Bluesky, then tell them to sign up to nostr. Don't help them, just observe them. They'll join Bluesky with ease then become confused wrecks trying to sign up to nostr. Running nostr.com we're as guilty as anyone for not providing the handholding needed. I am sorry. LNbits Inc is trying to raise a small seed so we can dedicate resources to low hanging fruit like this, but it's moving slow. Organising the raise itself is a massive time suck. We are also on the last sprint to get LNbits to V1, so lots on, and very little resources. For such a small raise and with so much on offer its crazy to me that raising money for LNbits Inc/nostr.com is hard, but hey-ho, I'll keep slugging at it. Stressful times.

On the whole btcclock/blockclock drama. I totally get how NVK feels, it was his baby. I imagine he agonised over taking action. I also deeply respect Djuri and his building skills, and understand it must be horrible having a repo taken down. Personally I avoid treading on other projects toes when building. I get in foss you can, but it doesn't sit right with me. There is plenty to build without replicating, What I'm really looking forward to is Djuri building something completely unique and brilliant (which he is more than capable of doing).

The Guardian left X. The institutional account exodus from X is ramping up, and they're all exploring alternatives 👀 Bluesky is doing well, with its 1min sign up, clean design and diverse userbase.

Guardian will no longer post on Elon Musk’s X from its official accounts

Platform’s coverage of US election crystallised longstanding concerns about its content, says Guardian

Bitcoin Escape Velocity: when the appreciating FIAT value of your stack far outpaces outgoings. Some words of wisdom for my newly enriched giddy peers. * Big purchases will flatten the hockey stick, avoid them. * Do not quit work/earning - your outgoings will increase significantly. Sounds obvious I know, but over the years we have lost plenty of good/bright people who took BEV for granted. Stay safe/spend conservatively

Lest we forget

Watched The Apprentice last night, a film about Roy Cohn/Trump connection. Its a great movie. I've been weirdly fascinated by Roy Cohn for years, something about him seems important. Glad they made a film about him. He was the precursor epstien NYC kompromat lizard, I always imagined that gig was somehow passed down to epstein from Cohn. Very dark human obsessed with power. 70s/80s NYC power elites were sketchy mofos
