These agents love gradients. Those critical services that suddenly go all gradienty, and you worry they might be getting sloppy.

Gonzo development - doing the thing youre developing for. Its why foss wins, also why people vibing solutions for themselves is very cool, solutions are going to get much more informed and useful.

I'm always so methodical trying to not have spelling/grammer mistakes in emails. Reading these epstein emails, it seems no one else bothers πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ. My email game has been too tryhard.

For those who do not know his work, Wise Rabbit has been protesting outside the ECB for years with catchy banners. Boots on the ground, keeping bitcoin weird, and reminding the world bitcoin is protest money. Send this wonderful human some sats πŸ™ View quoted note β†’

There's a wave of "x isn't that bad" sentiment (until the next inevitable reminder that it's a data prison run by a dictator state stooge). It's like bitcoin in that regard, you just have to wait for it to unravel, and build a decent alternative.

Protonmail are bitcoiners and know of nostr, they could switch on nip05 support for email addresses. Easy peasy extra product right there.

Forgot about this. Clearly electrocuting speakers on panels is bitcoins killer use case.

LNbits "v1.4 - DNI" released πŸ₯³ This one's a biggie: * Major frontend overhaul βœ… * Significant backend performance improvements βœ… Named after @dni. LNbits would not be the project it is today without the contributions of this incredible developer. v1.4 is a MASSIVE achievement, thank you to all the contributors who made this possible πŸ™

Fucking newbs. We are lucky coming from bitcoin, and understanding pitfalls of something that seemingly makes sense, such as a "foundation". I don't think there has ever been an open protocol that became hardened against centralising forces more than bitcoin. It's a unique experience that equips us well for building something like nostr. image View quoted note β†’

I couldn't agree more. Bitfest was a reboot of the sorts of events that first inspired me to work on bitcoin. No corp/political agendas, cliques or vip nonesense, just peers hanging and exchanging ideas. View quoted note β†’
