(very) soft launch since @BITKARROT announced it during the @Nostrshire talk We've been working to get the DAD as the main engine for nostr.net (the frontend to awesome-nostr). Its still under development (i'm way too slow) so expect things to change but here it is:

I've said it before and i'll say it again, @All in Bitcoin with CK is amazing and this episode with @Jeff Booth is pure gold View quoted note →

THE WARRIOR'S CREED I accept that life contains unavoidable conflict. I choose strategic rationality over emotional reaction. I judge people by actions, not words. I depend on my mind, not circumstances. I think in campaigns, not just battles. I fight indirectly when possible, directly when necessary. I control myself before attempting to control situations. I welcome challenges as training opportunities. I learn from every loss and stay humble in victory. I know when to fight, when to retreat, and when to do nothing.

You are not living in a democratic society if you didn't vote to be robed of your purchasing power, progress and savings by endless money printing.

While I agree with the sentiment of nostr services being down due to CF outage (i'm also guilty of that for some nostr.net services) the fact is infrastructure costs money and if you are not paying for it someone else is. So complaining that the free infrastructure you consume all the time and never once blink to think its costing someone else to run that is not gonna bring much change. I've only recently put some of the web gateways behind CF because they are getting hammered by traffic. Could I've solved it differently? Sure, but I'm losing money on it already, spending more time and using more resources for it was just not the top choice. CF gets used this much because it has disproportionate benefits compared to evrything else, even om a free tier. And its gonna stay that way until the individuals start figuring out that everything you click, consume or post on the internet has intrinsic cost. Its small on per unit basis, but it stacks up with even the amount of users nostr has, let alone when things really hit scale. So either start rethinking your spending habits for everything you consume online or stfu:)

If only we could figure out what happened

You can't say bitcoin is money and then act like you're giving away your children for adoption when you're paying for something. Is bitcoin gonna be put in a nice cozy cold storage? Will it get properly loved and cared about? ITS JUST FUCKING MONEY. YOU DON'T GET A SAY IN IT.

in case you sneezed and missed another attempt of the EUSSR and aligned overlords to remove any last remaining shred of privacy you had
