human incarnation of marmite, builder of hard soft things, surreptitious dismantler of states. Opinions are all mine and as such will be completely different to yours, also serial wind up merchant
Spammers and scammers have really started to attempt to infiltrate nostr with their weak arse causes and nonsense.
Is having a Palestine flag in the title or bio of a social profile, a signal to other users that the user may be retarded or learning difficulties. Its so hard to keep up with internet trends these days
The last couple weeks been laying out in the garden late into the night, staring up at the sky quite a bit. Reminded of how I used to do it a lot as a kid, as we went camping loads. I don’t quite remember as much movement in the night sky as there is now. I grew up in the southern hemisphere, and you would get the occasional aeroplane or satellite. But now it seems almost constant movement up there. Just an observation
I can't help but think the next Bitcoin controversy is going to be Ledn , seems a lot of "bitcoin influencers". Are pushing their bitcoin backed loans as if they are something cool and useful.

You know I still don’t know how I feel about BIP-110. As a engineer, I think we should push the car up the hill and see if it crashes again

Well that was fun! BIP 110 didn't succeed, but I learned a shit ton more about Mining, Nodes & how to switch between different implementations of BItcoin

I know many would consider this too much time with tin foil hats, and i have to say I agree. But when you start connecting dots and doing the maths, things just don't add up or if they do in the wrong columns. This CoinKite Cold Card "Hack" seems to have an extra-ordinary series of coincidences, which just don't seem to be the workings of an opportunistic hack. Much rather more of a pre-determined outcome. The Boltz & BTCPayserver "attack" - remarkably well timed to coincide with the the Cold Card incident. Which Ultimately affects Bull Bitcoin, who as we know, have taken it upon themselves initiated a legal challenge against the European Union’s DAC8 directive. This directive, which took effect on January 1, 2026, mandates that cryptocurrency service providers disclose user identities and transaction data to tax authorities across the EU. All fired up to coinside with this weekends BIP-110 signalling. Whichever side of the fence you're on. The knee jerk intuitive response I am noticing. Is users demanding some sort of justice and accountability be implemented. Which always results in the state getting involved, with its warm fuzziness of legislation & regulation and its monopoly on violence. The state institutions a.k.a Banks, will all provide you with the assurances that they are safe, because as it happens the services that they have historically provided i.e Safety, Security & Processing are being attacked in these "Bitcoin Hacks". At the Same time, when the states are trying to reassure you with the safety of their Digital ID! Yeah, call me paranoid, schizophrenic , cynical retard but its all too fucking fishy for me

In life you get to know those special kind of idiots, who think they know everything, and like to call those who don’t know everything idiots for not knowing everything . I definitely don’t know and understand everything, but one of the talents I have been gifted with in life, is the ability to easily identify those special kind of idiots and avoid them.

The thing I love most about nostr, is that It’s really easy to spot scammers, spammers and grifters

I love AI, it gets me from brain fart, to half baked half finished solutions that I lose interest in, in a fraction of the time

London is such a fucking shithole! The place is a shadow of its former self. Really gone down hill at a rate of knots in 2 years!
