Nostr friends, I’ll be at the Midwest Bitcoin Summit Sept. 23-24, as well as the Columbus Bitcoin Meetup Tuesday night. Who else is going?

Got a chicken on sale yesterday, so dinner tonight! Turned out much much better than my previous one. Although a little overcooked

I ran at 9:30 last night, after sunset, and it was 85 degrees. Genuine hate. Hopefully by the time Cincinnati Bitcoin’s next social rolls around Sept. 17 we’ll have cooled off. Last year they had a smoked octoberfest that made my pumpkin spice white girl soul so full.

I don’t frequent the farmer’s market, but snagged an ancestral blend of ground bison with heart and liver

Instagram keeps tagging my stuff as AI content. It is not just AI assisted or adjusted, but entirely AI, is the claim. I’d like to see AI take like four hours to use AI for these posts. Anyway, next Cincinnati Bitcoin meetup deets

How Silent Payments Make Bitcoin More Private, Wed, Sep 2, 2026, 6:30 PM | Meetup

Bitcoin’s transparent ledger is one of its key features, but it can also make your financial life more visible than you intended. Silent payments...

Current events just dwindling the dating pool down to like eight people if you don’t want someone who’s top priority is rationalizing away murdering children

I am once again asking you to join Cincinnati Bitcoin this Saturday for a social!

Absolutely hate this. While I make my own Caesar dressing, I have a bottle of Primal Kitchen just in case, and I switched to Chosen brand mayo a year ago. Also occasionally bought Kettle avocado oil chips. I mostly cook with tallow, but it just sucks to have spent more money on products that turned out to be scams. Any mayo recipes y’all like?

Cincinnati Bitcoin is doing a special weekend social Aug. 22 instead of the usual third Thursday. Come up for air after a rough few weeks and just hang

Chicken bone broth on the way A little full, yes. I roasted the bones this time so we’ll see how that goes. I started making broth last winter. Last batch was way too diluted with water, so I have a lot more bones and just tried to cover them this time. Will push to fully submerge when veggies underneath collapse a bit.

Nostr friends, my phone has been on the fritz since Sunday, so I’ve not been on twitter or elsewhere as the Coldcard story has unfolded. Does anyone have recommendations for sites that give an overview of what happened and are keeping up with ongoing coin counts and what not? Or brief video recap? I want to show something to set the stage at Cincinnati Bitcoin tomorrow before we talk

Cincinnati Bitcoin Meetup Open Roundtable: What Happened with Coldcard? Wednesday, Aug. 5, 6:30 p.m. With the recent Coldcard wallet exploit that allowed attackers to recreate wallet recovery phrases and steal Bitcoin from what users believed were securely self-custodied wallets, we're pivoting this session to an open roundtable on the news. We’ll give a short overview of what happened, share a few key security considerations, and leave most of the time for questions and group discussion. Since this is still developing, the focus will be on learning together, comparing notes, and thinking carefully about best practices.

@jack mallers you should have Rick Rubin on the show. I remember your episode on his podcast and enjoyed it a lot

See you tomorrow, my salt-brining friend. Some roasted chicken and more bone broth on the way!

I don’t know much about Maple AI, but in the few times I’ve used it it’s pretty awful. Not sure if it’s the model or what, but it seems to be pretty cucked frequently

Tried 30-second flips for the cast iron cook tonight on this ribeye. Crust was not great, but turned out perfectly medium rare. My thermometer has a tough time on things like steak, so was kind of guessing. But best steak I’ve cooked at home. I’ve sworn off Kroger steak because it’s almost always lousy, although I usually get it on sale. This was on sale through delivery but an individually wrapped one. Was a very good cut. Right now I eat steak maybe once a month. One day I hope to eat a butcher steak every night for dinner. Preferably with a goth baddie. Fingers crossed.

I just spent time posting Cincinnati Bitcoin meetups on @Local Bitcoiners' website and then learning about other nostr clients it posted to. To be honest, very unfamiliar with nostr the protocol. What does a non-technical guy need to know, or where can he go or learn?
