Writing is a form of thinking. If you want to learn to write, start by learning to think with a pen in your hand.

The Network Theory of Ethics Here is the thesis I’ve been working on for some time. It deserves a treatise, and I am currently working on one. Still, I am posting it here on NOSTR because I know many of you will challenge it. And that is exactly what I need. I’ve dubbed it "The Network Theory of Ethics". It claims the following: 1. Morality can be derived from physics. 2. More specifically, it is an emergent property of the social network structures that exist within a reality governed by the laws of thermodynamics. 3. Moral values arise when individuals (nodes within a social network) create and maintain the social fabric in a reality in which energy dissipates and in which the expenditure of energy is required to temporarily reduce entropy within the network. More to come. Please share this with anyone you think may contribute to the discussion.

Our CWO is on leave, but the show must go on… @BitcoinWalk Warsaw keeps walking #proofofwalk

@Umbrel ☂️ LND Recovery from Backup (exact UI flow) I’ve analysed the LND recovery process on Umbrel step by step, based on the Lightning seed + Static Channel Backup (SCB) recovery model used by Umbrel. I’m attaching notes covering the two main scenarios: 1. recovery on an existing Umbrel install, and 2. recovery after a full reinstall or sudden, unplanned hardware retirement. If your Umbrel decides to stop cooperating one day, this is exactly what will happen during recovery — including the intentionally force‑closed channels and the wait for funds to reappear on‑chain after timelocks. Knowing this in advance should make it much easier to prepare properly and spare some unnecessary stress. View article →

I played around with @profilestr. It allows you to: • Browse profile information, including stats like the number and amounts of zaps received and sent, • Recover followed profiles (requires signing an event – on mobile, you can do this via the @Keychat browser if you’re already using it), • Find out how many reactions, reposts, and replies you’ve received. Each profile also gets a ranking based on data from several sources. Nice 👍

Desire is a misery factory. Clinging to money, status, power, pleasure, possessions. Learning to let go of it is the deepest act of self-compassion. It’s how true peace emerges. #meditation

Hey Nostriches, We’re almost there! 🔥 Our mission to fund 560 copies of The Bitcoin Standard—one for every Polish MP—is nearly complete. We’re just a couple hundred thousand sats away from the finish line. # Why now? Right now, Poland is in the middle of a heated debate about a new law on “cryptoassets.” Most of the political class is still clueless about Bitcoin. That’s where we step in—with education, not speculation. # Here’s the plan: ✅ Books funded by the Bitcoin community via Geyser ✅ Purchased directly with bitcoin (no selling bitcoin to make the purchase) ✅ Each copy will include an open letter stressing the importance of understanding Bitcoin ✅ We’ll promote the project in Polish media to spark a public discussion about Bitcoin 📌 Project details:

Every sat counts! #BitcoinStandardPL #BitcoinWSejmie

Bitcoin is a language. The best way to become fluent is to use it.
