Saw this on Twitter. Pretty cool, right? (Coinjoin implementation using Nostr as a plug in for electrum wallet)

Question. Since DCG owns Foundry, can't they sell some of their facilities because Barry owes everyone so much damn money? It would solve two problems at once. As long as they are Foundry facilities, they are gonna be part of the Foundry mining pool (which is too big) would be great if that pool was smaller. (And if his creditors get paid back. $3 billion, including $900 million from Gemini Earn.)

Uh oh. Bottom isn't in yet.

It's kinda clear. For now, the US government (Executive Branch) is cracking down on cryptocurrency. Unlike the SEC's Gary, who taught a Blockchain course at MIT, they do not make any distinction between Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Actually, Bitcoin's censorship resistance compared to other cryptocurrencies' lack of such is just another reason to fear it. Swan is debanked in Texas (TX is also facing trouble from an anti mining bill now that like 1/3 of the world's hashrate is there. Not really, but maybe 1/4, what gives TX) Anyway, so how are we gonna buy? Peer2peer local Bitcoins-like sites? They are going to face a liquidity crisis and the US will be like Nigeria where we are paying wayyyy over 'normal' Bitcoin price.

I was on Reddit just now for a bit. I Feel like Stacker News reminds me of that. Lay-out-wise, its message-boardy. I like Stacker News ALOT more. I will say, I am confused which subredddit is the right one. r/btc is a bcash subredddit? Why? It's such a rough community. They like to talk about Blockstream conspiracies.

BTW, this comes to $106.32. I am so pumped about this. I can't describe how much of a shitshow Twitter was today with Elon banning linking to the free speech blog, Substack including the ability to 'like' Matt Taibbi's, who released the Twitter Files' Substack.

Hey wanted to point out this account brings you to a fake site which is not associated with the real scammy token, it's an even more scammy situation where they are trying to get you to connect a browser plug in wallet (such as metamask or brave) and they steal your shitcoins. Anyway, they got into my global feed by 'interacting' with my follows by retweeting people I follow. Suprised its that easy though.

Matt Taibbi released the Twitter files, (causing the Left, which has been his audience to hate him) because it was the right thing to do. Elon just banned links to Substack. Matt spoke up. Elon then unfollowed Matt. These 'dictators' have too much power over content creators and their ability to support themselves. People having a Twitter account with daily engagement that links to Substacks that can accept money for content have been how many get by, including Matt, who had alot to do with Elon's popularity due to the Twitter Files. Of course, Nostr and Lightning can fix this. We have a ways to go though.

Crypto/Web3 is evil. I give you Exhibit A:

Gm, people on Twitter talking about Microstrategy owning too much Bitcoin. Block. one, (the EOS guys) still own 24,000 more Bitcoin than Microstrategy does, and a growing number of Bitcoiners have never even heard of them. Microstrategy is a great company to own that much, they have pretty strong hands, and they are putting money into development. Also, we have a great, clean cut spokesperson who is pretty good at orange-pilling normies.

So Nip 38 an Nip 48 are not official approved, But are for group chats, except they seem like they are actually private unlike the current DMs.

This NIP is an improvement proposal for kind 4 event.

Would love to see a Bitcoin Wallet add this as a communication layer... for example coordinating multisig signing.

I posted an article critical of the dystopian-colonialism of the Worldcoin project and this guy started defending the project. This is his account. I mean. I guess a lot of accounts I interact with have 'BITCOIN' as an identity. Really strange to see a 'WORLDCOIN' toxic maxi though.

Anyone else not get a THNDR Nostr badge that they should have gotten recently?

Came out today. Pretty cool in a internet free zone... Or a post RESTRICT Act America, if you are in too much of a time constraint to download the whole blockstream satellite. Perhaps you could set up the satellite quickly, sync it, broadcast something and take it apart. https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2023/03/31/zerosync-and-blockstream-to-broadcast-bitcoin-zero-knowledge-proofs-from-space/
