Made it to NYC. Excited to walk the streets for a week.

Couldn't find an official Telegram group for @CheatCode in Bedford on April 12-13 so I made an unofficial one. Join if you're coming! Amplification appreciated.

CheatCode Chat Unofficial

An unofficial group for meeting fellow participants of the CheatCode conference in Bedford on April 11-13!

Lots of airport time today. I love airports. Full of potential and expectation.

Excited to visit NYC for the first time in 10 years and visit @PUBKEY for the first time. Any other New York recommendations? #asknostr

Is there a Telegram or other chat group for @CheatCode participants?

Glad to hear the council has come around and the pitch issues look resolvable @Peter McCormack

TIL candy is shiny because of bug shit

Would love to do this someday View quoted note →

It's funny that on The Mentalist, Simon Baker speaks in an excellent American accent throughout, but after the credits each episode when he says, "Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode," he reverts back to his Australian accent.

Can anyone direct me to the London Bitcoiner Telegram group or equivalent? #asknostr

CoinDesk article from two days ago says April 15, but now the site they cite (heh) says April 30! How am I supposed to make travel plans at this rate?

Bitcoin's Halving May Be Here Sooner Than You Know (Again)

Several months ago, the halving was expected to take place on April 28; now it's on track to land on April 18. Blame the surge in bitcoin's price, ...

For those who don't know, I interview people about #Bitcoin adoption - and sometimes #nostr - in East Asia (I'm based in Tokyo). This is my recent conversation with John Riggins of @Bitcoin Magazine about his time in China (since 2016), the upcoming Bitcoin Asia conference in HK, why he thinks the alpha is in Asia, and much more. Most interesting to me were how bullish he is on Hong Kong (and even China), and the "secret" story behind the 2021 bitcoin mining ban.

Been watching a lot of this game lately. Impressively realistic. Still has room to improve but a world away from the Tony Hawk games I used to play.

Ever noticed people use the intonation of a long list to give the impression their claim is well-founded when in reality they’ve given maybe one shaky example and something else that adds nothing and then completed it with “and the list goes on and on”?

Never even heard about this debate between @Lyn Alden and Alex de Vries from two years ago. Great job.

Did some digging but couldn’t find anything. Any insights appreciated

What's the latest on email addresses that require a tiny sat payment to receive? e.g. what @strike was doing. Surprised I don't hear more about this considering it's the best idea I can think of to eliminate spam and protect people from scams like this pig butchering thing #asknostr

The other day I posted a tip about following the people that the people you like follow; today I have a new tip: on @primal browser at least, when you go to a thread, it shows the "People in this thread" on the right side. Follow those people, because they're mostly proven to be active on #nostr. #introductions

You know, at first I thought posting images from the internet to #Nostr was cumbersome - right click, download the image somewhere, go to Nostr, find it again, upload. Blech. But now I think it's the easiest of all platforms - right click, copy image address, paste into Nostr, it automatically becomes the image again. Easy-peasy.

Go where you're rare. It'll be uncomfortable but will open a world of opportunity. I know, it's easy for me to say, but I really feel like people are too tied to where they know (but have no upwards mobility).
