I have €165.50 in my bank account, and I've never been richer or happier

Perhaps last year's World Shitcoin Championship match should have included treasury companies. View article →

GM

Put this song on repeat and vibe straight through Monday...

GM to everyone except the 139 bots that have followed me in the 3 days since I wrote a hilarious post about nostr developers.

CHAPTER 18 - Up to Date UnPhiltered is drawing to a close. We’re pretty much up to date. I’ll write one more chapter after I’ve had a chance to assess this little experiment. I started this series with no expectations other than hoping it would be useful to other writers, interesting to those who have followed my career, and cathartic for me. My only intention was to share a bit more about myself with raw honesty. It felt odd to leave the jokes and self-deprecation aside for a while. But I’m satisfied, even if the concept didn’t fit into any one box. UnPhiltered covered travel, teaching, short stories, books, coaching, communities, ghostwriting, digital businesses, bitcoin, and more. It didn’t really go into details. Maybe that’s another project. So what’s next for my writing? A few things. Content writing and op-eds for clients continues apace. I have some cool projects with bylines coming up with White Noise, Bitcoin Art Magazine, Bitcoin Ireland Conference, and plenty of secret assignments too. In Bitcoin, I’m able to publish in my own name, write what I want, and also reach more people when writing for brands. If there is one thing Bitcoin (and freedom tech in general) breaks down, it’s your sense of needing to pose and posture. The more honest your work is, the better the conversations and relationships you build are. When you stop running on the fiat hamster wheel, you can downshift and focus on smaller, more valuable communities. Ultimately, we work to gain time. When we choose how to spend all of our time, we can be more intentional. I’d like that for my writing too. For example, in October, I’m taking a very personal trip that will test me mentally and physically. I plan to write about that too. Re: fiction, I’ve come up with every excuse in the book for why my magical realism novel stalled. Now, I’m writing it again, and in a couple of months, I’ll be at the editing stage. Even though I’m not sure if I’ll publish it, my sights are set on the end. Someone in my writing group asked me, “If you don’t make any money from fiction and you find it hard, why do you write it?” “Because I have to do the work,” I said. “If something is easy, it’s boring to me.” She stared, unable to comprehend, as though I had spoken in invisible ink. Every day, I see more parallels between writers and those building tools for freedom. It’s never easy, but we focus on our craft. We have to. That’s what is possible when you work to the beat of a different type of time. Thanks for sticking with me.

How to develop a Nostr client in 10 simple steps: 1. Visit the Nostr GitHub repository and get familiar with the protocol. 2. Write down all the NIPs on pieces of paper, put them into a hat, and draw 13 random ones. Use ONLY these to build your client. 3. Prepare for marathon code sprint by drinking 2.5L of GM. 4. Publish code, then use a stable client to write a post asking for help from real devs. 5. Buy 3 large rolls of duct tape to perform fixes for version 0.0000001. 6. Post memes to collect enough zaps so you can buy another 2.5L of GM. 7. Embark on a dev quest with two close allies. To reach version 0.000001, you must slay Pubki, the Nightshade Troll, and reach the town of Aldenmorrow. You are armed with a bluetooth keyboard, a faulty relay, and an ostrich feather. 8. Call Jack Dorsey. 9. Appear on 250-300 podcasts to and reach 1 million repetitions of the word 'decentralization'. 10. Launch version 1.0 and wonder how to increase your userbase from 3 to 10. *** How accurate is this on a binary scale of 0 to 1? #asknostr #nostrdevs #builders

What cheers fiatbrains up: 👉 buying shit they don't need from familiar online brands. What cheers nostriches up: 👉 zapping magic internet money to complete strangers who posted a funny meme. ... we are not the same. GN.

GM. Waiting for $58k...

To celebrate 500 notes posted on Nostr, I have deleted the X app. GN

My personal Facebook page just got banned. No fucking idea why. I opened the account in 2006. 20 years of Meta sucking the value out of my content and data. If my 'appeal' is unsuccessful, they will just 'delete' everything. (Of course, they will keep all the data, but will deny access to me). The 'appeal' involved uploading a photo of myself. Surely anyone could do that with a quick google search. Anyway, if I lose access, I don't really care. Could be a good time to cut ties with that shit. 2026 is pointing me towards spending more time in the parallel spaces that can't revoke your access. Carry on, Nostr. Nothing to see here.
