The world needs more TUI apps! And as the story goes, if you want something done you better do it yourself.

#Bitcoin relies on miners for security. Miners are driven by economic incentives. As rewards are reduced we’re currently counting on fees to go up in order to keep miners going. A busy mempool is therefore a good thing because the only other options for long term security of #Bitcoin involves rather drastic measures imo.

Will I see you at DefCon 24?

TUI all the things!

Node hardware upgrade! ⚡️⚡️

Is @jack still working on a hardware wallet?

Fix the money, fix the world!

“Bitcoin Is Venice” is one of the best articulations of Bitcoin’s value proposition. Up there with the Bitcoin Standard.

Apple finally fixed the lock down mode app exception bug in iOS 17!!

Ok, time for a non-Bitcoin related rant. Why do nearly all new laptops suck so badly? It seems most OEMs pursue the same recipe at the moment. Shove a terribly inefficient power hungry Intel CPU in a chassis that is way too thin, pair it with a puny cooling solution that has no way of keeping up, slap on a 4K power hungry display and call it the day. Dell, Lenovo, Asus, LG, etc are all guilty of this. They brag about how thin and light their laptops are and how they come with an Intel Core i9 CPU and dedicated Nvidia graphics. They conveniently forget to mention that your ears will bleed from the fan noise, that you’ll be able to cook your dinner on the laptop chassis, and that the minute you unplug the power the CPU will throttle 20-50%. They also won’t mention that in order to achieve such a thin design, the keyboard travel is essentially 0. Somewhere along the line everyone just forgot about the basics that make a laptop good. I’ll give honorable mention to Apple and their MacBook Pro lineup. Slightly thicker devices that thanks to their ARM architecture can basically deliver class leading performance even on battery power with the fans or even turning on in most use cases. But since I can’t stand MacOS the laptops are not for me.

Sell products & receive donations in Bitcoin via Lighting Network

Super cool little web app for accepting Lightning tips/payments.

Mechanical or digital watches? Go!

If we want #Bitcoin to gain mass adoption, the community needs to be exclusive and welcoming to everyone. Don’t shame people who keep their Bitcoin on exchanges, self-custody can’t be the only way. Also, mass adoption won’t happen on Rasperry Pi nodes and retail DCA’ing alone. Big institutions are coming, and that’s probably a good thing. I’m super excited for the future! In the meantime, let’s keep building, educating and sharing ideas!

Nostr is currently basically a #Bitcoin echo chamber… and I love it.

Not a day goes by without me appreciating how awesome Linux is.

The only good thing to come out of Microsoft in the last 20 years is VSCode.

Google investing in Voltage says a lot!

Say what you want about Pomp, but he’s been consistently articulating Bitcoin’s value in a way everyone can understand and get onboard with.

I developed a mobile app for a work related event and snuck in support for LNURLs. People ended up discovering the Easter egg, downloaded a Lightning wallet app and sent sats back and forth to each other. Good fun!

Anal OS is Solana backwards. Go figure.
