Not everyone agrees or realizes that governments, corporations and banks are progressively infringing on our most basic rights and that we should fight back, if only with the right tools.

But I don’t believe in going out in the street to protest, hoping that the government will do something about it. I think that demanding from the State is actually giving it even more power. So what’s the solution?

I believe that Bitcoin is the best tool for individuals to reclaim their freedom and sovereignty.

By taking money out of the hands of central banks, 3-letter agencies and governments, we can reclaim complete control over our money, our life and our future.

I believe the world is facing a great threat. I’m not talking about global warming or climate change. I’m talking about a global political agenda, shared among Western countries’ governments, and focused on limiting individual freedom while increasing government control.

I believe our modern banking and financial systems are profoundly inegalitarian by nature, with the ability for a few elites to “print” money out of thin air and use it to follow their own agenda.

I believe our modern banking system was built like this on purpose. I do not consider the government’s and central banks’ money printing to be part of “how things normally work”, but rather to be a counterfeiting mechanism that they use for their own benefit.

For these reasons, I don’t believe that governments have the people’s best interest in mind. As a matter of fact, I rather think the opposite is true.

I believe this counterfeiting mechanism (or money printing) leads to financial servitude for the individuals, and systemic risk for human society as a whole.

I believe all the financial crises we witnessed since the beginning of the 20th century are directly linked to this counterfeiting mechanism, and that this system is now coming to an end.

As such, I believe most people grossly overlook the risks that are being taken with their money, whether it be sitting on a bank account or invested in financial markets.

Furthermore, I believe this flawed monetary system is in complete control of most people’s money, lives, and future.

But I believe there is an alternative to this flawed system: Bitcoin.

I believe Bitcoin is the best tool individuals can use to take back their freedom and resist government controlling their life.

And I believe you shouldn’t have to be tech-savvy to start using Bitcoin, but you definitely need to be freedom-minded.

Are you tired of having to trust banks and other financial institutions with your money? With Bitcoin, you can take control of your finances and be the sole custodian of your wealth. This is known as self-custody and it completely eliminates the need for third-party services, by receiving and storing your bitcoin securely in your own Bitcoin wallet. In this blog post, we will discuss what self-custody means, how it works, and the benefits and responsibilities associated with being in control of your own money.

What is Self-Custody?

Self-custody is simply the process of keeping your own private keys to your Bitcoin wallet, meaning you do not need a bank or any other third party to manage or access your Bitcoin funds; you are able to do all that yourself. This means that only you have full control over your money, allowing you to make transactions securely and safely without ever having to ask someone’s permission or worry about someone else mishandling or stealing it.

Who Is in Charge of My Bitcoin?

When using Bitcoin, you are in charge of your own Bitcoin wallet, which includes an unlimited amount of addresses that are used to receive Bitcoin, and a private key that is used to sign outbound transactions. The private key is literally the key to your Bitcoin wallet, as it can send Bitcoin to other addresses your don’t control. As such, it is imperative that it is kept safe and secure, accessible only by you. This is how ownership of Bitcoin is determined. If you share the private key to a wallet you control, you’re not the only one able to spend the Bitcoin inside the wallet anymore.

Benefits & Responsibilities

The most obvious benefit of self-custody is that no one else has control over your funds but you! That said, there are some important responsibilities that come with owning the keys to your Bitcoin wallet.

One responsibility that comes with being the only owner of your Bitcoin funds is making sure that your private key is safe from theft and loss. Fortunately, there are easy solutions available for securely storing Bitcoin keys, and seeking guidance from a knowledgeable source can be a great help if you’re not ready to take on this responsibility alone. A Bitcoin security expert can provide valuable insights and tools to help you ensure the safety and security of your funds.

Overall, Bitcoin gives immense power to individuals who want full control over their finances without relying on third parties like banks or payment processors. But taking ownership of your money also comes with certain responsibilities such as safeguarding your private keys; however these responsibilities pale in comparison when compared with the freedom and security granted by taking ownership of your money with Bitcoin! And with the right tools and guidance, using Bitcoin in a truly sovereign way can be way easier than you may imagine.

@ a53364ff:e6ba5513

To the few elites who benefit from the modern banking system and the constant emission of currency, Bitcoin is a threat to their privileged position.

For traders, investors, and gamblers who are only interested in making a quick buck, Bitcoin is a new and volatile asset they can speculate on.

For individuals escaping tyranny or authoritarian regimes, Bitcoin is a way to move their wealth across borders and avoid it being seized by the government.

For people who live in inflation-ridden countries, Bitcoin is a way to protect their wealth against accelerating devaluation and avoid losing all their money to inflation.

For digital nomads, Bitcoin is a great way to easily earn money online, avoid paying high commission fees to payment processors (Paypal, Stripe, etc), and avoid high currency conversion fees while traveling.

As we can see, Bitcoin definitely is different things to different people. What we all agree on, though, is that Bitcoin is here to reject the status quo.

Bitcoin is the best tool out there for people who value individual freedom and seek more self-sovereignty to take control of their money, their lives, and their future.

What is Bitcoin to you?

„Man muss noch Chaos in sich haben, um einen tanzenden Stern gebären zu können.“

– Friedrich Nietzsche

Der Mensch wächst nicht aus der Welt – er wird in sie geworfen, ohne Ursprung, ohne Auftrag, ohne Trost. Die Familie erscheint zuerst als Halt, doch sie ist oft der erste Spiegel, in dem man sich selbst nicht erkennt. Man nennt es Liebe, nennt es Bindung – aber vielleicht ist es nur die stille Einweisung in ein Gefängnis, dessen Mauern wie Umarmungen aussehen.

Kindheit, Freiheit, Einsamkeit

Das Kind ist nicht die Fortsetzung des Selbst, sondern der Beweis, dass auch das Chaos Nachwuchs hat. Es lacht, weil es noch nicht weiß, was Lachen kostet. Es fragt nicht, weil es noch nicht weiß, dass Fragen selten Antworten finden. Und doch ist es das Kind, das die Ordnung zum Wanken bringt – nicht durch Widerstand, sondern durch seine unbestechliche Gegenwärtigkeit.

Freiheit beginnt dort, wo man aufhört, sich retten zu lassen. Sie ist kein Zustand, sondern eine Haltung: die Weigerung, sich einer Bedeutung zu unterwerfen, die von außen kommt. Die Welt verlangt Funktion – das freie Leben verweigert sich der Funktion, nicht durch Aufstand, sondern durch Abwesenheit. Wer Sicherheit sucht, hat die Welt bereits verloren.

Einsamkeit ist kein Unglück – sie ist der Boden, auf dem das Selbst sich überhaupt erst spüren kann. Sie ist nicht leer, sondern ungeteilt. Was fehlt, ist nicht ein anderer Mensch, sondern die Illusion, dass Nähe uns ganz machen könnte. In der Tiefe des Alleinseins offenbart sich nicht Mangel, sondern Klarheit.

Das Nichts und die Möglichkeit des Lebens

Ein Kind stellt keine Fragen über das Nichts – es lebt in ihm, ohne es zu wissen. Der Erwachsene aber erkennt es, spürt es wie eine zweite Haut, die nicht abgelegt werden kann. Doch dieses Wissen ist keine Strafe. Es ist die Bedingung jeder echten Handlung. Wer das Nichts kennt, liebt nicht, um sich zu retten – sondern weil er weiß, dass nichts gerettet werden muss.

Ein Leben im Angesicht der Leere ist möglich. Nicht durch Verdrängung, sondern durch Durchschreiten. Die Rolle, die man spielt, wird erträglich, wenn man sie nicht mit Identität verwechselt. Die Arbeit, die man verrichtet, dient nicht mehr dem Fortschritt, sondern der Form – und vielleicht ist darin schon Würde genug.

Familie kann ein Nest sein – oder ein Netz. Es hält, oder es hält fest. Doch auch das Netz kann Heimat sein, wenn man nicht mehr erwartet, darin zu fliegen. Ein Kind zu begleiten heißt nicht, ihm Wahrheit zu geben, sondern ihm Raum zu lassen, seine eigene zu verwerfen.

Raum, Erlaubnis, Schönheit

Freiheit ist kein Ziel, sondern ein Aufhören. Wer nichts mehr will, dem kann nichts genommen werden. Wer das Nichts annimmt, dem begegnet keine Leere mehr – sondern Raum. In diesem Raum entsteht das, was nicht geplant ist, nicht beherrscht und nicht gezählt: der Moment, das Staunen, die Stille zwischen zwei Gedanken. Vielleicht ist genau das genug.

Man kann leben mit dem Nichts – wenn man nicht mehr verlangt, dass es Sinn macht. Man kann Vater sein, Mutter, Freund, Fremder – ohne sich zu verlieren. Man kann lachen, weinen, müde sein – ohne Trost zu brauchen. Denn wer dem Nichts ins Auge gesehen hat, der weiß: Alles ist bedeutungslos. Und genau deshalb ist alles erlaubt. Und manchmal, ganz selten, auch: schön.

@ 12fccfc8:8d67741e

1. Im Nichts gibt es keine Befreiung, nur die Ernüchterung der Illusion. Die Welt ist ein Flimmern, das dem Auge entgleitet, während wir in einem endlosen Raum der Bedeutungslosigkeit verharren.
2. Es gibt Momente, in denen das Nichts nicht nur eine Abwesenheit ist, sondern ein erdrückendes Gewicht, das uns in den Staub drückt. Wir fliehen in Gedanken, doch diese Gedanken sind der allerletzte Zufluchtsort, der uns nichts als die Huldigung der Leere bietet.
3. Das Nichts ist der heimliche Gott, der im Zerfall des Seins thront, ein stiller Erlöser, der das Leben in seinen Schoß zurückruft, um es sanft zu ersticken.
4. Die Trauer ist der Wundschrei des Seins über seinen eigenen Bruch, ein letztes Festhalten an der Hülle des Vergangenen, bevor sie im Strom der Vernichtung zerfließt.
5. Der Sinn entgleitet, je fester wir ihn fassen wollen – wie Nebel, der sich vor der Berührung auflöst.
6. Wir leben in der Hoffnung, dass das Nichts uns nicht sieht – doch es hat längst in uns Wohnung genommen.
7. Jeder Gedanke an Erlösung gebiert eine neue Kette – die Freiheit beginnt erst dort, wo das Verlangen endet.
8. Das Schweigen des Universums ist keine Antwort – es ist die endgültige Form der Gleichgültigkeit.
9. Unsere Angst vor dem Nichts ist nur der Schrei des Ichs, das weiß, dass es niemals war.
10. Wir existieren wie Fußspuren im Staub eines verlassenen Raums – sichtbar nur für einen Moment, bedeutungslos im Wind der Zeit.

@ 12fccfc8:8d67741e

1. Existenz ist ein Exil ohne Rückkehr. Wer liebt, liebt nur die Illusion eines Auswegs.
2. Die Seele sammelt Splitter vergangener Welten, doch keine Hand kann sie wieder ganz machen.
3. Erinnerungen sind Splitter eines Spiegels, der zerbrach – sie schneiden dich, während du dein Gesicht in ihnen suchst.
4. Die Schwermut ist der Ruf des Todes im Lebenden, ein dumpfer Widerhall des Willens, der sich selbst verneint, um im Grau der Tage seine Erlösung zu finden.
5. Das Leben ist der Widerhall eines sterbenden Willens. Nur im Nichts finden wir Erlösung.
6. Die Zeit ist ein Dieb, der Schatten stiehlt – sie lässt dich zurück, ein Umriss, den niemand mehr füllt.
7. In der Dämmerung unserer Tage suchen wir die Sonne, die nur in der Erinnerung noch brennt.
8. Stille fließt durch uns, als wäre sie immer schon gewesen – ein Zustand, der nie durchbrochen werden kann. Wir sind die Frage, die nie die Antwort findet, das Bild, das niemals scharf wird.
9. Wer das Nichts anschaut, sieht sich selbst: ein Schatten, der sich für Licht hält.
10. Die Einsamkeit offenbart sich die Qual des Seienden, ein verlassenes Fragment des zersplitterten Willens, das im kalten Licht seiner eigenen Nutzlosigkeit zittert.

@ 12fccfc8:8d67741e

„Die Tatsache, dass das Leben keinen Sinn hat, ist ein Grund zu leben – und zwar der einzige.“

– Emil Cioran

Der Mensch steht im Zentrum eines Raumes, der sich weigert, eine Mitte zu haben. Alles um ihn herum scheint geordnet, doch diese Ordnung ist ein leises Zittern vor dem Chaos, das jede Struktur unterwandert. Es gibt kein Versprechen, das nicht gebrochen wird, kein Licht, das nicht aus einer tieferen Dunkelheit geboren wird. So flackert die Existenz – ein schwankender Schein über einem Abgrund, der kein Echo zurückgibt.

Das Nichts: Gegenwart ohne Form

Das Nichts ist nicht Abwesenheit. Es ist Gegenwart ohne Form. Es liegt nicht hinter den Dingen, sondern in ihnen – wie ein Geruch, der bleibt, wenn alle Türen geschlossen sind. Es ist der unsichtbare Kern der Welt, der Grund, warum jedes Wort in sich selbst zerfällt, jede Bewegung zu spät kommt, jeder Sinn sich verflüchtigt, sobald man ihn greifen will. Das Schweigen des Universums ist keine Antwort – es ist die endgültige Form der Gleichgültigkeit.

Wer dem Nichts begegnet, verliert nicht die Hoffnung – er erkennt, dass es nie Hoffnung gab, nur das Bedürfnis danach. Die Leere ist kein Loch, das gefüllt werden will, sondern ein Zustand, der alles durchdringt. Man lebt nicht trotz des Nichts – man lebt im Nichts, als Ahnung, als Abdruck, als Fußspur im Staub eines Raums, den niemand betritt.

Melancholie und Erinnerung

Melancholie ist kein Gefühl, sondern ein Aggregatzustand des Bewusstseins, das zu viel gesehen hat, um noch zu glauben. Sie trägt kein Schwarz, sie schreit nicht. Sie fließt durch uns wie ein langsamer Strom, der die Farben der Dinge auswäscht. In ihr liegt kein Wunsch nach Erlösung, sondern nur das Wissen, dass selbst Erlösung eine weitere Form von Fessel wäre. Man kehrt nicht heim, man löst sich auf – langsam, leise, endgültig.

Der Tod ist nicht der Feind des Lebens, sondern seine Form. Leben ist der Prozess des langsamen Verschwindens, und Sterben ist nur die letzte Geste einer Bewegung, die längst begonnen hat. Die Zeit nimmt nicht, sie löscht. Sie lässt zurück, was nicht mehr gefüllt werden kann: ein Umriss, eine Hülle, ein Bild ohne Substanz. Der Mensch verliert sich nicht am Ende, sondern in jedem Moment, den er durchschreitet.

Erinnerung ist kein Besitz, sondern eine Wunde. Was zurückblickt, blickt durch einen zerbrochenen Spiegel – jedes Fragment spiegelt etwas, aber nie das Ganze. Und wer sich darin sucht, findet nicht sich selbst, sondern die Lücken zwischen den Bildern. Vergangenheit ist nicht, was war, sondern das, was nie ganz war – und deshalb nie ganz vergeht.

Fremdheit und Auflösung

Existenz ist ein Exil. Nicht von einem Ort, sondern von sich selbst. Man ist sich nicht nahe, man ist sich fremd – und in dieser Fremdheit liegt keine Tragik, sondern ein nüchterner Frieden. Die Einsamkeit ist kein Zustand, sondern die einzig mögliche Beziehung zur Welt. Alles andere ist Täuschung, ein letzter Versuch, das Unvereinbare zu versöhnen.

Sinn verflüchtigt sich mit jeder Geste, die ihn zu fassen sucht. Je näher man kommt, desto mehr löst er sich auf – wie Nebel vor der Hand. Was bleibt, ist das Bild der Suche selbst, eine Bewegung im Leeren. Man begreift nicht – man kreist. Und in diesem Kreis liegt der Kern der Erfahrung: nicht das Ziel, sondern die Auflösung aller Ziele.

Die einzige Freiheit liegt nicht im Handeln, sondern im Entgleiten. Der Verzicht auf Bedeutung, auf Richtung, auf Rettung – das ist der erste Akt der Selbstermächtigung. Nicht laut, nicht kämpferisch, sondern als stilles Hinwegtreten aus dem Spiel. Dort beginnt das, was nicht mehr genommen werden kann: die Unabhängigkeit vom Verlangen.

Schönheit im Vergehen

Nichts bleibt. Und gerade deshalb geschieht alles. Nicht um zu sein, sondern um zu vergehen. Und vielleicht liegt darin die letzte Schönheit – nicht im Bestehen, sondern im Verlöschen. In der Fähigkeit, in Ketten zu tanzen, wissend, dass jede Kette aus Licht besteht, das schon lange erloschen ist.

@ 12fccfc8:8d67741e

1. Die Zukunft ist ein Abgrund, der sich öffnet, um uns zu verschlingen – und wir nennen es Fortschritt.
2. Ein Augenblick, und schon ist er verloren. Wir wandern, aber wohin? Und ist der Weg nicht auch schon längst verschwunden, bevor wir ihn betreten?
3. Was ist die Grenze zwischen dem, was wir nennen, und dem, was wir nie sagen? Ein Riss im Atem, eine Unendlichkeit in jedem Schritt – und dennoch nichts, das je festhält, was wir begreifen wollen.
4. Gedanken zerfallen wie Tropfen, die nie den Boden erreichen. Wir sammeln, was nie da war, nur das Echo dessen, was nicht existiert. Vielleicht sind wir das Echo.
5. Die Fragen sind die Flügel eines Vogels, der nie den Himmel berührt. Und die Antworten? Nur leere Spiegel, die uns mit einer Intensität anstarren, die uns mehr verstummen lässt, je mehr wir sehen.
6. Je lauter die Behauptung, desto größer die Vorsicht.
7. Freiheit ist ein Käfig aus offenen Türen – du trittst hinaus, nur um in der Weite deiner eigenen Grenzen zu erstarren.
8. Zwischen den Zeilen flackert das Echo der Stille. Wer es hört, vergisst den Klang.
9. Im Ekel des Seins liegt die Wahrheit: Leben ist Leiden, Tod ist Frieden. Doch der Mutige tanzt auf dem Abgrund.
10. Jeder neue Tag ist ein Versprechen, das nicht gehalten wird, ein Licht, das nur die Tiefe unserer Gräber erhellt.

„Wahrheit ist kein Besitz, den man verteidigt, sondern ein Prozess, den man gemeinsam gestaltet.“

– frei nach dem Geist freier Netzwerke und resilienter Systeme

Bitcoin ist mehr als nur ein monetäres Protokoll. Es ist ein kulturelles Artefakt, ein philosophisches Statement und ein praktischer Ausdruck radikaler Souveränität, kollektiver Verantwortung und struktureller Ethik. Wer Bitcoin ausschließlich als technologisches Experiment oder ökonomisches Asset betrachtet, verfehlt seine tiefere Bedeutung: Bitcoin ist eine politische Philosophie – nicht in Büchern niedergeschrieben, sondern in Code gegossen. Eine Philosophie, die nicht behauptet, die Wahrheit zu kennen, sondern eine Methode zur gemeinsamen Verifikation anbietet. Eine Philosophie des Konsenses.

Legitimität von unten

Im Zentrum dieser Philosophie steht die Einsicht, dass Legitimität nicht von oben gewährt, sondern von unten erzeugt wird. Keine zentrale Instanz entscheidet, was gilt. Keine Autorität garantiert Vertrauen. Stattdessen entsteht alles aus einem gemeinsamen, freiwilligen Prozess: offen, nachvollziehbar, überprüfbar. Bitcoin ersetzt Vertrauen in Personen durch Vertrauen in Regeln – nicht aus Zynismus, sondern aus epistemischer Bescheidenheit gegenüber menschlicher Fehlbarkeit.

Konsens ist keine Harmonie

Dieser Perspektivwechsel ist radikal. Er stellt nicht nur bestehende Geldsysteme infrage, sondern auch unsere politischen und institutionellen Grundlagen. Während klassische Systeme auf Hierarchien, auf Exklusivität und auf delegierter Macht beruhen, operiert Bitcoin auf Basis offener Teilhabe und individueller Verantwortung. Jeder Knoten ist autonom – aber keiner ist isoliert. Die Wahrheit, die sich im Netzwerk konstituiert, ist nicht das Produkt von Autorität, sondern das Ergebnis reproduzierbarer Verifikation. Nicht Glaube zählt, sondern Prüfung.

Regeln statt Meinungen

Konsens ist dabei kein romantischer Idealzustand, sondern ein dynamischer Balanceakt. Er wird nicht durch Harmonie hergestellt, sondern durch Reibung, durch Konflikt, durch Iteration. Konsens in Bitcoin ist kein Konsens der Meinungen, sondern der Regeln. Und genau darin liegt seine Stabilität. Denn wo Meinungen divergieren, können Regeln konvergieren – vorausgesetzt, sie sind transparent, überprüfbar und konsequent angewandt.

Wahlfreiheit als Systemdesign

Diese Logik verschiebt den Fokus von zentralisierter Macht zu verteilter Verantwortung. Bitcoin kennt keine exekutive Gewalt, keine privilegierten Klassen, keine Instanz, die im Namen aller spricht. Es kennt nur Regeln – und die freie Entscheidung, ihnen zu folgen oder nicht. Wer sich dem Konsens nicht anschließen will, kann abspalten. Forking ist keine Katastrophe, sondern ein systemimmanenter Ausdruck von Wahlfreiheit. In der Möglichkeit der Spaltung liegt die Stärke der Struktur.

Freiheit als Infrastruktur

Diese strukturelle Freiheit unterscheidet sich grundlegend vom klassischen, liberalen Freiheitsverständnis. Es geht nicht um die Willkür des Einzelnen, sondern um die Freiheit von willkürlicher Macht. Es ist kein Plädoyer für Individualismus, sondern für institutionelle Unabhängigkeit. Die Architektur selbst garantiert die Freiheit – nicht eine Instanz, die über sie wacht. In dieser Ethik ist Freiheit kein Ideal, sondern ein Designprinzip. Kein Zustand, sondern eine Infrastruktur.

Gerechtigkeit durch Transparenz

Verantwortung entsteht nicht durch Appelle, sondern durch Transparenz. Jede Entscheidung, jede Transaktion, jeder Regelbruch ist öffentlich nachvollziehbar. Es gibt keine Geheimabsprachen, keine Privilegien, keine Ausnahmen. In dieser radikalen Offenheit liegt eine neue Form von Gerechtigkeit: nicht moralisch verordnet, sondern technisch ermöglicht. Gleichheit ist kein Ziel, sondern eine Eigenschaft des Systems selbst.

Ein Vorschlag für eine neue Ordnung

Bitcoin ist damit nicht nur ein technisches Protokoll, sondern ein Vorschlag für ein neues Modell gesellschaftlicher Ordnung. Eine Ordnung ohne Zentrum, aber nicht ohne Struktur. Eine Praxis der Wahrheit ohne Wahrheitsmonopol. Eine Gemeinschaft, die sich nicht über ideologische Übereinstimmung definiert, sondern über gemeinsame Regeln. Das politische Prinzip, das hier wirkt, ist die Zustimmung – nicht die Kontrolle.

Keine Utopie, sondern ein Anfang

In einer Zeit wachsender institutioneller Erosion, in der Vertrauen in klassische Strukturen schwindet, zeigt Bitcoin einen alternativen Weg: nicht zurück zur Vergangenheit, sondern nach vorn zu neuen Formen des Zusammenlebens. Es ist ein System, das sich nicht auf Versprechen verlässt, sondern auf Rechenbarkeit. Eine Ethik des Handelns, nicht des Glaubens. Eine Ordnung, die nicht durch Macht entsteht, sondern durch das Überflüssigmachen von Macht.

Bitcoin ist nicht perfekt. Aber es ist ehrlich in seiner Imperfektion. Es verspricht keine Utopie, sondern bietet ein robustes Werkzeug. Ein Werkzeug, das uns zwingt, über Macht, Wahrheit und Verantwortung neu nachzudenken. Es ist kein Ende, sondern ein Anfang – eine Einladung, eine neue politische Realität zu gestalten: nicht von oben diktiert, sondern von unten geschaffen.

„Die Zukunft kommt nicht von selbst. Sie wird still gebaut – Zeile für Zeile, Entscheidung für Entscheidung.“

– Ursprung vergessen, Wahrheit geblieben

Was, wenn all das – der Rückzug, das neue Geld, die Verantwortung, das Misstrauen – nicht Flucht ist, sondern Heimkehr? Nicht Ablehnung der Welt, sondern ihre bewusste Rekonstruktion? Was, wenn der wahre Bruch nicht darin liegt, ein anderes System zu benutzen, sondern darin, anders zu sein?

Technologie als Raum, nicht Ziel

Die Technologie war nie das Ziel. Sie ist nur der Raum, in dem sich etwas Menschlicheres entfalten kann: Klarheit. Konsequenz. Verantwortung ohne Zwang. Vertrauen ohne Blindheit. Eigentum ohne Bedingungen. Was mit Code beginnt, endet mit Haltung.

Entscheidung als Ursprung

Manche nennen es Exit. Andere Rebellion. Vielleicht ist es beides. Vielleicht ist es aber auch einfach der leise Moment, in dem jemand erkennt: Ich kann mich entscheiden. Und diese Entscheidung verändert nicht die Welt – aber sie verändert mich in ihr.

Freiheit in neuer Gestalt

Die Freiheit, die hier entsteht, ist nicht laut. Nicht kollektiv. Nicht romantisch. Sie ist nüchtern, präzise, anspruchsvoll. Sie fordert Selbstprüfung statt Meinung, Handlung statt Haltung. Und sie zieht keine Grenzen zwischen Mensch und Werkzeug – sie zeigt nur, was möglich wird, wenn man bereit ist, weniger zu verlangen und mehr zu tragen.

Bauen statt kämpfen

Das neue Geld, das neue Netzwerk, die neue Kultur – sie leben nicht irgendwo da draußen. Sie entstehen dort, wo jemand beschließt, nicht mehr mitzuspielen – und auch nicht mehr zu kämpfen. Sondern einfach zu bauen. Still. Beharrlich. Unaufhaltsam.

@ 12fccfc8:8d67741e

„Vertrauen ist gut, Kontrolle ist besser – sagte die Macht.

Misstrauen ist gesund, Selbstverantwortung ist besser – sagte die Freiheit.“

– gehört im Rauschen, zwischen den Blöcken

Vertrauen ist die stille Grundlage jeder Gesellschaft. Doch es ist fragil. Es wird oft dort gefordert, wo es nicht verdient ist – in Systemen, die sich immun gemacht haben gegen Kontrolle, Konsequenz und Kritik. In diesen Strukturen ist Vertrauen keine Tugend mehr, sondern ein Werkzeug der Macht. Es wird benutzt, um Verantwortung abzugeben, um sich fügen zu müssen, um Teil eines Spiels zu sein, dessen Regeln man nicht mitbestimmen kann.

Misstrauen als Zeichen von Reife

Misstrauen gilt oft als Schwäche. Doch es kann auch ein Zeichen von Reife sein. Es ist nicht Ablehnung, sondern Prüfung. Nicht Paranoia, sondern Wachsamkeit. Wer misstraut, schützt sich nicht nur vor Täuschung, sondern verteidigt das eigene Urteilsvermögen.

Echtes Vertrauen braucht Kontrolle

Ein System, das auf echtem Vertrauen beruhen will, muss bereit sein, Misstrauen auszuhalten. Es muss transparent, überprüfbar, ersetzbar sein. Es darf Vertrauen nicht einfordern, sondern muss es verdienen. Vertrauen, das auf Kontrolle verzichtet, ist Glaube. Vertrauen, das auf überprüfbaren Regeln beruht, ist Klarheit.

Bitcoin: Vertrauen durch Verifikation

In diesem Spannungsfeld steht das neue Geld. Es sagt: Vertraue nicht mir. Vertraue dem, was du selbst verifizieren kannst. Es ersetzt nicht Vertrauen durch Misstrauen, sondern durch Offenheit. Es fordert nichts – es bietet nur das, was es ist: ein System ohne Hintertüren, ohne Verwalter, ohne Privilegien.

Darin liegt seine Stärke. Es ist nicht darauf angewiesen, dass jemand daran glaubt. Es funktioniert, weil niemand es verändern kann. Es belohnt diejenigen, die prüfen. Und es enttäuscht jene, die hoffen, dass andere für sie denken.

Jenseits von Vertrauen

Vertrauen ist eine Entscheidung. Misstrauen auch. Zwischen beiden steht Verantwortung – und wer bereit ist, sie zu tragen, wird beides nicht mehr brauchen.

@ 12fccfc8:8d67741e

„Sag mir, welches Geld du benutzt – und ich sage dir, an welche Welt du glaubst.“

– anonym, zirkulierend im digitalen Untergrund

Geld ist nie neutral. Es trägt in sich eine Vorstellung davon, was in einer Gesellschaft wertvoll ist – und wer entscheidet, was dieser Wert bedeutet. In den Währungen unserer Zeit steckt nicht nur Kaufkraft, sondern auch Gewalt. Unsichtbar, aber wirksam. Jede Inflation ist eine Umverteilung ohne Abstimmung. Jede Rettung durch Gelddrucken ein Eingriff in das Eigentum derer, die sparen. Jede staatliche Kontrolle von Geldfluss ist auch Kontrolle über Leben.

Es ist leicht, Geld als bloßes Werkzeug zu sehen. Aber jedes Werkzeug formt auch seinen Nutzer. Wer Geld benutzt, das auf Schulden basiert, übernimmt unbewusst die Logik dieses Systems: Wachstum um jeden Preis, Gegenwart vor Zukunft, Kontrolle statt Vertrauen. Es ist kein Zufall, dass moralische Belohnung in dieser Welt selten mit finanzieller vergütet wird – weil das Geld selbst die Moral nicht kennt.

Die Moral der Währung

Die Frage ist nicht, ob Geld gut oder böse ist. Die Frage ist, ob es Verantwortung kennt. Ob es dem dient, der es hält, oder dem, der es kontrolliert. Ob es verlässlich ist – nicht nur in seiner Funktion, sondern auch in seiner Wirkung. Ein Geld, das jederzeit vermehrt werden kann, erlaubt jederzeit die Verschiebung von Lasten. Weg von den Verantwortlichen, hin zu den Stillen. Es belohnt Nähe zur Quelle, nicht Leistung. Es nährt den Zynismus.

Ein Geld, das Wahrheit erzwingt

Ein anderes Geld beginnt nicht bei der Technik, sondern bei der Ethik. Es fragt nicht: Was ist möglich? Sondern: Was ist richtig? Es basiert auf Knappheit – nicht um zu begrenzen, sondern um Ehrlichkeit zu erzwingen. Es kennt kein „Too Big to Fail“, kein Vertrauen auf Dekret, keine moralische Grauzone. Wer es nutzt, steht in direkter Beziehung zu seinem Handeln. Und kann sich nicht herausreden.

Verantwortung ohne Zwang

Vielleicht ist die wichtigste Wirkung dieses Geldes nicht wirtschaftlich, sondern moralisch: Es gibt dem Einzelnen die Möglichkeit, sauber zu wirtschaften, ohne Teil eines schmutzigen Spiels zu sein. Es ist kein Geld für jeden – sondern für jene, die bereit sind, wieder Verantwortung zu tragen. Nicht, weil sie müssen. Sondern weil sie wollen.

„Der Mensch ist frei geboren, und überall liegt er in Ketten.“

– Jean-Jacques Rousseau

In einer Welt, die sich zunehmend durch technologische Umbrüche definiert, zeigt sich eine bemerkenswerte kognitive Dissonanz im Umgang mit neuen Paradigmen: Die Abwehr gegenüber Bitcoin ist selten eine Frage der Rationalität, sondern oft eine Reaktion auf die Überforderung durch das Ungewohnte. Der Mensch scheut die Auseinandersetzung mit dem, was ihm fremd erscheint – nicht, weil es notwendigerweise komplex ist, sondern weil es nicht in das gewohnte Raster institutionalisierter Erklärung passt.

So wirkt Bitcoin auf viele wie ein hermetisches System, dessen Mechanismen sich dem Alltagsverständnis entziehen. Dabei ist es, philosophisch betrachtet, der Fiat-Welt unter einem entscheidenden Aspekt überlegen: ihrer radikalen Transparenz.

Die Unsichtbarkeit des Gewohnten

Die Strukturen, welche das fiatbasierte Geldsystem tragen, sind in ihrer institutionellen Dichte kaum zu durchdringen. Zentralbanken, Aufsichtsbehörden, gesetzgeberische Rahmenwerke, geldpolitische Instrumente, Interbankenmärkte, internationale Regulierungsorgane – sie bilden einen verwaltungstechnischen Überbau, der in seiner Vielschichtigkeit eher einer mittelalterlichen Theologie als einem frei zugänglichen, rationalen System gleicht.

Das Vertrauen in diese Ordnung ist kein Produkt verstandesmäßiger Durchdringung, sondern das Ergebnis jahrzehntelanger Gewöhnung und autoritärer Setzung. Man glaubt an das Fiat-Geld, weil es da ist – nicht, weil man es versteht.

Bitcoin verlangt Verantwortung

Bitcoin hingegen konfrontiert den Einzelnen mit der Notwendigkeit der Selbstverantwortung und fordert eine direkte Auseinandersetzung mit seiner Funktionsweise: kryptografische Prinzipien, Dezentralität, Konsensmechanismen, digitale Knappheit. Dies wirkt zunächst sperrig, ja fast elitär. Doch diese Komplexität ist nicht strukturell intransparent, sondern technisch erklärbar, überprüfbar und – für jeden offen.

Während das Fiat-System in verschlossenen Räumen entscheidet, operiert Bitcoin auf einem offenen Protokoll. Die Ablehnung des Neuen beruht daher weniger auf seiner inhärenten Schwierigkeit, als vielmehr auf einer anthropologischen Trägheit: Die Bequemlichkeit, sich von äußeren Instanzen verwalten zu lassen, wiegt schwerer als der Wunsch nach Souveränität.

Was ist wahre Komplexität?

Doch was ist wahrhaft komplex? Ist es nicht die blinde Akzeptanz eines Systems, dessen Grundlagen man nie selbst prüfen kann? Ist es nicht der Glaube an eine Geldordnung, deren Stabilität von politischen Machtzentren abhängt?

Der Bitcoin hingegen stellt die radikale Frage: Was, wenn Vertrauen nicht mehr delegiert, sondern durch Code ersetzt werden kann? Was, wenn Verständlichkeit nicht aus Tradition, sondern aus Prinzipien entsteht?

Ein philosophisches Statement

In dieser Perspektive ist Bitcoin keine bloße technische Innovation, sondern ein philosophisches Statement: ein Plädoyer für epistemische Mündigkeit. Die vermeintliche Einfachheit des Alten ist in Wahrheit nur ein Schleier – und die gefühlte Schwierigkeit des Neuen der erste Schritt in die Freiheit.

„In Zeiten universeller Täuschung ist das Aussprechen der Wahrheit ein revolutionärer Akt.“

– George Orwell

Bitcoin ist nicht nur ein Werkzeug der ökonomischen Selbstermächtigung – er ist auch ein kulturelles Störsignal. Sein bloßes Funktionieren stellt die Legitimität des Bestehenden infrage. Eine Währung, die niemand ausgibt, niemand kontrolliert, niemand genehmigen muss, ist in ihrer bloßen Existenz eine stille Anklage gegen das, was als alternativlos gilt.

Mehr als Technologie – eine Haltung

Es geht nicht nur um Technologie. Es geht um Haltung. Um das leise Beharren auf einem anderen Takt. In einer Welt, in der der Wert von oben definiert wird – durch Zentralbanken, Ratings, Verordnungen – bietet Bitcoin eine völlig andere Grundlage: Konsens, Knappheit, Mathematik. Kein politischer Willensakt, sondern ein physikalisches Versprechen.

Die stille Entscheidung

Wer Bitcoin nutzt, trifft eine Entscheidung, die weit über Geld hinausgeht. Es ist die bewusste Verweigerung, Teil eines Systems zu sein, das auf Schulden basiert, auf Kontrolle, auf ständigem Zugriff. Es ist die Entscheidung, eine andere Art von Zukunft möglich zu machen – nicht durch Protest, sondern durch Praxis.

Disidenz ohne Banner

Diese Form der Disidenz ist schwer zu greifen, weil sie sich nicht laut artikuliert. Sie baut keine Barrikaden, schreibt keine Manifeste, ruft nicht nach Aufmerksamkeit. Sie wählt den Rückzug als Methode. Die Abkopplung. Die schrittweise Reduktion von Abhängigkeiten.

Kein Widerstand – Konsequenz

Vielleicht ist das Revolutionäre an Bitcoin nicht der Konflikt, sondern die Abwesenheit davon. Kein Widerstand im klassischen Sinn, sondern eine Umleitung. Keine Konfrontation, sondern Konsequenz. Die leise Entscheidung, nicht mehr mitzumachen – aber etwas Besseres zu bauen.

Ohne Erlaubnis

Wer Bitcoin lebt, braucht keine Genehmigung. Keine Erklärung. Kein Spektakel. Nur ein Node. Eine Wallet. Ein wenig Disziplin. Und die Bereitschaft, Verantwortung zu tragen, wo andere noch Ansprüche stellen.

Es ist kein einfacher Weg. Aber es ist einer, den man gehen kann, ohne um Erlaubnis zu fragen.

„Was du besitzt, besitzt auch dich.“

– Henry David Thoreau

Bitcoin verändert nicht nur, wie wir Geld sehen, sondern auch, wie wir uns selbst sehen. Es stellt eine einfache Frage, die schwer wiegt: Wem traust du? Und tiefer noch: Bist du bereit, dir selbst zu trauen?

Selbstverwahrung ist kein technischer Akt – es ist eine innere Haltung. Wer seinen eigenen Schlüssel hält, muss sich nicht nur mit Tools, sondern mit sich selbst auseinandersetzen. Mit Angst. Verantwortung. Und Freiheit. Die Gewissheit, dass niemand Zugriff hat, ist auch die Last, dass niemand rettet. Diese Form der Verantwortung ist für viele ungewohnt, fast schon beängstigend – in einer Welt, die absichert, verwaltet, entmündigt.

Die psychologische Schwelle der Verantwortung

Bitcoin ist radikale Eigenverantwortung. Und genau das macht es zu einer psychologischen Schwelle. Es zwingt zur Selbsterkenntnis: Bin ich bereit, die Kontrolle wirklich zu übernehmen? Oder suche ich weiterhin nach Institutionen, nach Autoritäten, nach jemandem, der mir die Entscheidung abnimmt?

Ein ehrlicher Spiegel

Spirituell betrachtet ist Bitcoin ein Spiegel. Es zeigt, woran wir glauben, was wir fürchten, worauf wir hoffen. In einer Welt voller Illusionen – über Wert, über Sicherheit, über Freiheit – ist Bitcoin brutal ehrlich. Es gibt nichts vor. Es bewertet nicht. Es funktioniert oder es funktioniert nicht. Und der Umgang damit offenbart viel über uns selbst.

Der Prozess, Bitcoin wirklich zu verstehen – nicht technisch, sondern existenziell – ist transformativ. Er entkoppelt unser Selbstwertgefühl von Zahlen auf Bankkonten. Er konfrontiert uns mit unserer Abhängigkeit von Bequemlichkeit. Er eröffnet die Möglichkeit, dass Freiheit nicht in äußeren Umständen liegt, sondern in innerer Haltung.

Eine spirituelle Praxis

Für manche ist Bitcoin eine spirituelle Praxis – eine tägliche Übung in Geduld, Disziplin, Vertrauen. Nicht Vertrauen in andere, sondern in Prinzipien. In Mathematik. In Ursache und Wirkung. Bitcoin verzeiht keine Illusion. Es bestraft Selbsttäuschung. Und gerade deshalb kann es ein Werkzeug sein – nicht nur der wirtschaftlichen, sondern der inneren Befreiung.

Wer sich darauf einlässt, begibt sich nicht nur auf einen neuen finanziellen Weg. Sondern auf eine Reise zu sich selbst. Eine Reise, die nicht laut ist, nicht bequem, nicht sofort belohnend. Aber ehrlich. Und vielleicht – heilsam.

Ach Gottchen, man ist mal wieder empört! Quel fauxpas! Ist es nicht auffällig, dass man von anderen Nationen solche Bilder nicht sieht? Zwei Politiker im Flieger unterwegs zu einer Vergnügens-Beerdigung eines Mannes, der für eine nicht geringe Anzahl von Menschen auf der Erde eine sehr große Bedeutung hat. (Impfen ist Nächstenliebe und die Kündigung derjenigen, die sich der Gen-Behandlung nicht unterziehen wollten, hier einmal außen vor gelassen). Warum ausgerechnet immer die Deutschen? Tja, anscheinend hat Deutschland den Joker im ins-Fettnäpfchen-treten gepachtet und gibt ihn nicht mehr aus der Hand. Meister aller Klassen bleibt bisher noch die feministische Außen-Dings, aber was nicht ist, kann ja noch werden.  Und ausgerechnet ein Herr Laschet muss auch seinen Senf dazu geben, obwohl man doch eigentlich nicht mit Steinen wirft, wenn man im Glashaus sitzt. Unvergessen seine heitere Stimmung bei einem Besuch im verwüsteten Ahrtal, das bis heute noch teilweise nicht wiederhergestellt ist.

Herrn Steinmeier ist kein Vorwurf zu machen. Schließlich repräsentiert er mit einer florierenden Wirtschaft, einem vom Stier getriebenen Vielleicht-Bundeskanzler, einem Noch-Gesundheitsminister mit Traumjob, der gerne weiter gemacht hätte (auch die guten Kräfte haben ihre Grenzen des Ertragbaren), das Land des Lächelns.

Bei der Gelegenheit: Herr Lauterbach erinnert doch sehr an die Gräfin Eleonora Moran aus „Die Seltsame Gräfin“ von Edgar Wallace. In dem Film gibt es eine Szene, in der sie sagt: „Ich bin eine Wohltäterin der Menschheit, ich habe immer nur Gutes getan, niemals etwas Böses! Fassen Sie mich nicht an! Ich bin die Gräfin Eleonora Moran!“

Und Herr Söder, was soll man dazu sagen. Der bayerische Möchtegern-König, der sein Fähnchen schneller nach dem Wind dreht, als der Wind selbst es kann.

Und Herr Merz war wohl leider verhindert. Der belegte über Ostern einen Kurs bei der Volkshochschule: Torero werden in drei Wochen! Nach diesem Kurs werden Sie mit jedem Stier spielend fertig!

Fair bleiben: Gespielte Betroffenheit wäre geheuchelt gewesen. Schließlich besteht keine nahe Verwandtschaft zwischen Steinmeier und Söder zu dem Petrus-Nachfolger.

Am Ende ist es eine Pflichtveranstaltung, wie der Besuch bei der unangenehmen Erbtante, zu dem man eigentlich gar keine Lust hat, aber man muss halt, weil die Taler locken.

Schade, dass Herr Pistorius nicht auch mit im Malle-Flieger dabei war und auf dem Selfie. Dann hätte man einen schönen Untertitel gehabt: Na, ihr da unten auf dem Boden. Seid ihr auch alle schön kriegstüchtig?

Und dann gibt es da noch das Bild von Trump und Selensky in einer großen Halle im Vatikan, zwei Stühle, reduziert auf das Wesentliche: Keine Gelegenheit auslassen miteinander zu reden, den Frieden in der Ukraine besser gestern als heute herbeizuholen. Das macht den Ernst der Lage sehr deutlich. Für Macron war wohl im ganzen Vatikan kein weiterer Stuhl aufzutreiben. Deutsche Politiker glänzten durch Abwesenheit. War vielleicht auch gut so. Da stand vermutlich auch zerbrechliches Porzellan im Raum.

Im Gegensatz dazu das Bild der beiden Grinsekater, das wohl um die halbe Welt gehen wird. Was für eine Blamage. Man könnte fast meinen, da steckt Absicht dahinter. Die Absicht, Deutschland unter allen Umständen in die vollkommene Lächerlichkeit überführen zu wollen. Über Rom lacht die Sonne, über Deutschland die ganze Welt. Kann nicht Herr Brabeck-Letmathe vom WEF mal was Erhellendes dem deutschen Trinkwasser beimischen, damit die Politiker wieder zur Vernunft kommen?

Was würde Äarwin Krawuttke aus Wanne-Eickel wohl dazu sagen: Ey, voll der Schuss in den Ofen! Datt wollen Pollitiker sein? Ich lach mich kaputt!

更新前有问题问题？

本站采用 docsify渲染，他对图片的处理 是没有任何类原始的 img标签。 缺点如下： * 图片太大，很多图片出现了锯齿； * 图片和周边的文字没有边界，非常突兀；

第一次修改

全加了统一风格，用圆角修饰了；

结果出现了新问题，有些小图片是一个图标，例如:github 的star变得异常难看。

怎么办？

第二次修改

查找 文档说 markdown文档有支持{.classname}的做法，有人用这个方法；

那么 docsify如何做的呢？

js window.$docsify = { name: title, loadSidebar: true, homepage: "readme.md", subMaxLevel:2, plugins: [imgClassPlugin], alias: { '/_sidebar.md': './_sidebar.md', } };

用plugins 就可以，

imgClassPlugin 是找的正则替换 `` js export function processMarkdownImages(content) { const regex = /!\[(.*?)\]\((.*?)\)(\{.*?\})?/g; return content.replace(regex, (match, alt, src, classInfo) => { if (classInfo) { const classNames = classInfo.match(/\.([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/); if (classNames) { const className = classNames[1]; return`; } } return match; }); }

// 定义 Docsify 插件 export const imgClassPlugin = function (hook, vm) { hook.mounted(function () { // 在文档挂载后，在每次渲染前执行处理逻辑 hook.beforeEach(function (content) { return processMarkdownImages(content); }); }); };

``` 这样就可以了。大家看看我这张图片：

{.user-img}

具体用法，大家参考 https://www.nostrbook.com/books/c3834c0604b4e5ad66ececd756791a539c585d880864d62b0ef51e3602c482b7?title=NostrBook%E7%AB%99%E7%82%B9%E6%97%A5%E8%AE%B0#/02

@ fd06f542:8d6d54cd

{.user-img}

如图所示有4个部分

1. （1）关闭按钮，点击就退出编辑，这时候他会提示你保存，如果不需要保存退出，点击 “不保存退出”
2. （2）大纲 是编写 你书籍的大纲，这个参考 docsify文档 下面会有例子。 时间排列是 你所有为本书写的章节。但是有些章节你可能废弃了，或者暂时不想展示，都会存在 时间排列里面，就是按照你编写的时间倒序排列的。草稿 是你暂时存储的内容，没有上传到网络，存在你本地浏览器的缓存里面。
3. （3）这个部分看到的就是你的章节列表，当让你第一次来的这个地方是空的。新增章节 下一次就会有内容了。
4. （4）文件名，是我们存储章节的唯一标识。 readme.md 和_sidebar.md 是系统默认必须有的。因为docsify技术默认需要这2个。

如何编写大纲

如果你是第一次开始，大纲的界面是这样的。 {.user-img}

• 点击 增加大纲
• 点击 查看样例
• 修改系统生成的例子，此时 readme.md是必须的readme 对应的名字你可以自己修改
• 点击提交 就可以完成大纲了。

第二次、点击更新大纲 按钮 - [首页](/readme.md) - [国人开发者](/01.md) - [中文用户列表](/02.md)

大纲例子，“[]” 内是标题，“（）”内是 文件名； 标题是是显示在文章的右侧； 文件名的作用是匹配 ‘新增章节’ 里面的markdown的相匹配关联的。

如何定制化图片的风格

上传图片后，添加 {.user-img} 类，目前这个类是固定的，后面考虑增加类 见图： {.user-img}

渲染后 增加了一个classname ![图片](https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/fd06f542bc6c06a39881810de917e6c5d277dfb51689a568ad7b7a548d6d54cd/9461e21187258eb534772ccff9fef1f7192c298397db21ac39adbd1e7e16c62c.webp){.user-img}

直车对横车 的概念

顺炮直车对横车：红方出直车（车一平二），黑方出横车（车 9 进 1），这是顺炮布局中常见的一种变化。红方直车可以快速出动，威胁黑方右翼，黑方横车则可以灵活调动，根据局势选择进攻或防守的方向。后续可能会出现红方进车过河压马，黑方出炮封车等变化，双方展开激烈的争夺。

顺炮直车对横车布局体系主要有以下分类：

1. 古典攻法
   • 顺炮过河车对横车：红车一平二后车二进六过河，以强硬攻势迅速压制黑方阵营。
   • 顺炮缓补士对横车：红出直车后不急于补士（士四进五缓出） ，依黑方行棋灵活选择攻防策略。
   • 顺炮跳边马对横车：红马八进九上边马，平炮通车平衡两翼子力，防止黑卒3进1争先，着法稳健。
2. “胡氏双正马”攻法
   • 顺炮直车进三兵对横车挺3卒：红进三兵、黑挺3卒形成牵制，红可借马三进四等手段跃马进攻。
   • 顺炮直车进三兵对横车跳边马：红进三兵后，针对黑边马位置，以炮八平七等手段威胁黑方马获取局面优势。
   • 顺炮直车进七兵对横车：红进七兵，黑车9平4后，红可选择车二进四巡河或车二进六过河等不同进攻战术。
   • 顺炮直车“两头蛇”对双横车：红兵三进一、兵七进一构成“两头蛇”阵，与黑方双横车激烈争夺，红借双兵推进掌控空间，黑寻机反击。
3. 其他常见变化
   • 正马三兵与黑右肋车的攻防对抗；正马应对黑挺3卒的局面变化。
   • 正马三兵对阵黑肋车边马；“两头蛇”阵势迎战黑双横车的局势博弈。
   • 正马三兵对黑方马后藏车；“两头蛇”对黑正马边炮的局势发展。
   • 红方正马左士应对黑右肋车；红方采用巡河车、五六炮的布局变化，以及双正马进七兵分别对黑正马、右肋车的局面策略 。

以下按照天天象棋棋谱整理的8种变化，这些变化有些大同小异。 最后都类似。

ان اف تی مخفف Non-Fungible Token به معنای «توکن غیرقابل تعویض» است. این اصطلاح ممکن است در ابتدا کمی گیج کننده به نظر برسد، اما در واقع مفهوم آن بسیار ساده است. NFTها، دارایی‌های دیجیتالی منحصر به فردی هستند که بر روی بلاک چین ثبت می‌شوند و مالکیت آن‌ها به صورت غیرقابل تغییر و شفاف ثبت می‌گردد. به عبارت دیگر، هر NFT مانند یک اثر هنری دیجیتالی، یک قطعه موسیقی، یا حتی یک توییت منحصر به فرد است که نمی‌توان آن را با دیگری جایگزین کرد.

تفاوت NFT با دارایی‌های قابل تعویض:

برای درک بهتر مفهوم NFT، بهتر است آن را با دارایی‌های قابل تعویض (Fungible Tokens) مانند بیت کوین یا اتریوم مقایسه کنیم. بیت کوین‌ها همه یکسان هستند و می‌توان یک بیت کوین را به راحتی با بیت کوین دیگری تعویض کرد. اما NFTها هر کدام منحصر به فرد هستند و نمی‌توان آن‌ها را با یکدیگر جایگزین کرد. این تفاوت اساسی، NFTها را به دارایی‌های ارزشمندی تبدیل کرده است که می‌توانند ارزش زیادی داشته باشند.

مراحل کارکرد یک NFT:

ایجاد (مینت کردن) NFT:

اولین مرحله در فرآیند ایجاد یک NFT، مینت کردن آن است. این فرایند شامل تبدیل یک دارایی دیجیتال مانند یک اثر هنری، یک قطعه موسیقی، یا یک آیتم درون بازی به یک توکن NFT است. این کار معمولاً با استفاده از پلتفرم‌های مختلفی که برای ایجاد و مدیریت NFTها طراحی شده‌اند، انجام می‌شود. در این مرحله، اطلاعات مربوط به NFT، از جمله اطلاعات مالکیت، تاریخ ایجاد و سایر جزئیات مربوطه، به صورت رمزنگاری شده بر روی بلاک چین ثبت می‌شود.

ثبت بر روی بلاک چین:

بلاک چین یک دفتر کل توزیع شده و غیرمتمرکز است که اطلاعات مربوط به NFT را به صورت امن و شفاف ثبت می‌کند. این به این معنی است که اطلاعات مربوط به NFT در چندین کامپیوتر در سراسر جهان کپی می‌شود و هیچ فرد یا نهادی نمی‌تواند به تنهایی اطلاعات را تغییر دهد. این ویژگی، امنیت و شفافیت NFTها را تضمین می‌کند.

خرید و فروش NFT:

پس از ایجاد NFT، می‌توان آن را در بازارهای آنلاین NFT به فروش گذاشت. خریداران می‌توانند با استفاده از ارزهای دیجیتال، مانند اتریوم، NFTها را خریداری کنند و مالکیت آن‌ها را به دست آورند. تمام تراکنش‌های مربوط به خرید و فروش NFTها بر روی بلاک چین ثبت می‌شود و به این ترتیب، شفافیت و امنیت معاملات تضمین می‌گردد.

مالکیت و اصالت:

بلاک چین تضمین می‌کند که مالکیت NFT به طور شفاف و غیرقابل تغییر ثبت شده است. این امر اصالت NFT را تضمین می‌کند و از جعل و کپی غیرمجاز جلوگیری می‌کند. هر NFT دارای یک کد منحصر به فرد است که آن را از سایر NFTها متمایز می‌کند و این کد بر روی بلاک چین ثبت می‌شود.

انواع بلاک چین‌های مورد استفاده برای NFTها:

چندین بلاک چین برای میزبانی NFTها وجود دارد، از جمله اتریوم، سولانا، پولکادات و بسیاری دیگر. هر کدام از این بلاک چین‌ها ویژگی‌ها و مزایای خاص خود را دارند، مانند سرعت تراکنش، هزینه‌های گاز (هزینه تراکنش)، و امنیت. انتخاب بلاک چین مناسب، به عوامل مختلفی مانند نوع NFT و نیازهای کاربران بستگی دارد.

کاربردهای NFTها:

کاربردهای NFTها بسیار گسترده است و به سرعت در حال افزایش است. از جمله کاربردهای مهم NFTها می‌توان به موارد زیر اشاره کرد:

هنر دیجیتال: NFTها به هنرمندان اجازه می‌دهند تا آثار هنری دیجیتال خود را به صورت منحصر به فرد و قابل تأیید مالکیت به فروش برسانند. بازی‌های ویدئویی: NFTها می‌توانند برای ایجاد آیتم‌های درون بازی منحصر به فرد و قابل معامله استفاده شوند. موسیقی: موسیقی‌دانان می‌توانند آثار موسیقی خود را به صورت NFT منتشر کنند و به این ترتیب، مالکیت و حقوق خود را حفظ کنند. کالاهای مجازی: NFTها می‌توانند برای ایجاد و فروش کالاهای مجازی منحصر به فرد، مانند لباس‌ها، لوازم جانبی و آواتارها در متاورس استفاده شوند. گواهی اصالت: NFTها می‌توانند به عنوان گواهی اصالت برای کالاهای فیزیکی نیز استفاده شوند. بلیط‌های رویدادها: NFTها می‌توانند به عنوان بلیط‌های رویدادها، مانند کنسرت‌ها و رویدادهای ورزشی استفاده شوند.

مزایای استفاده از NFTها:

مالکیت شفاف و غیرقابل تغییر: NFTها مالکیت دارایی‌های دیجیتال را به صورت شفاف و غیرقابل تغییر ثبت می‌کنند. امنیت بالا: بلاک چین امنیت NFTها را تضمین می‌کند و از جعل و کپی غیرمجاز جلوگیری می‌کند. شفافیت: تمام تراکنش‌های مربوط به NFTها بر روی بلاک چین ثبت می‌شود و به راحتی قابل پیگیری است. قابلیت مبادله آسان: NFTها به راحتی قابل خرید، فروش و مبادله هستند. ایجاد بازار جدید برای هنرمندان و خالقان محتوا: NFTها بازار جدیدی برای هنرمندان و خالقان محتوا ایجاد کرده است.

چالش‌های NFTها:

با وجود مزایای بسیار، NFTها نیز با چالش‌هایی مواجه هستند، از جمله:

نوسانات قیمت: قیمت NFTها می‌تواند بسیار نوسان داشته باشد. هزینه‌های تراکنش: هزینه‌های تراکنش در برخی بلاک چین‌ها می‌تواند بالا باشد. ملاحظات زیست محیطی: برخی از بلاک چین‌ها، مانند اتریوم، از الگوریتم‌های اثبات کار استفاده می‌کنند که مصرف انرژی بالایی دارند. کلاهبرداری: خطر کلاهبرداری در بازار NFTها وجود دارد.

نتیجه گیری:

ان اف تی ها فناوری جدیدی هستند که پتانسیل تغییر دادن بسیاری از جنبه‌های زندگی دیجیتال ما را دارند. با درک چگونگی کارکرد NFTها و مزایا و چالش‌های آن‌ها، می‌توان از این فناوری جدید به طور مؤثر استفاده کرد. برای کسب اطلاعات بیشتر در مورد این حوزه جذاب، جستجوی عبارت "NFT چیست؟" در موتورهای جستجو می‌تواند راهنمای خوبی باشد.

امیدوارم این توضیحات برای شما مفید بوده باشد. برای اطلاعات بیشتر در مورد NFT چیست؟، می‌توانید به منابع آنلاین معتبر مراجعه کنید.

"นมดีจริง หรือแค่เรากลัว?" นม = อาหารของสัตว์ในวัยทารก จริงๆประโยคเดียว ก็น่าจะเข้าใจนะครับว่าทำไม ผมไม่ตอบเม้นท์เลย ว่าถ้างั้นเราดื่มนมอะไรดี

ในวันที่นมยึดครองชั้นวางห้าง นมวัว นมแพะ นมอัลมอนด์ นมโอ๊ต นมข้าว นมพิสตาชิโอ วางตัวสวยๆ พร้อมข้อความชวนฝันว่า "ดีต่อใจ" "เพื่อสุขภาพ" คนก็แห่กันถามว่า นมอะไรดีที่สุด ดื่มนมอันไหนแล้วสุขภาพดี กินนมแล้วจะได้ไม่ขาดสารอาหาร

แต่...ลองหยุดถาม แล้วตั้งใจฟังตัวเองสักนิดว่า จริงๆ แล้ว นมดีกว่า real food อย่างไข่ หรือเนื้อสัตว์ ตรงไหน?

ตอนเด็ก เราถูกสอนว่า ดื่มนม = แข็งแรง ตอนโต เราถูกล่อด้วยโฆษณาว่า นมพืช = สุขภาพดี ยั่งยืน รักษ์โลก เราถูกปลูกฝังจนแทบไม่เคยสงสัยเลยว่า นม มันดียังไงกันแน่?

เราลองมาเปิดหน้ากาก "นม" ทีละชั้นกันครับ นมวัว : มีโปรตีนกับไขมันอยู่บ้าง แต่ก็มีน้ำตาลแลคโตสที่คนส่วนใหญ่ย่อยไม่ดี นมพืช : โปรตีนต่ำจนน่าใจหาย วิตามินแร่ธาตุก็ใส่สังเคราะห์เอาทีหลังทั้งนั้น

"นม" ไม่ว่าจะวัว แพะ หรือพืช ความจริงที่เราไม่ค่อยอยากมอง คือ นมเป็นอาหารที่อ่อนด้อยเรื่องสารอาหารอย่างสิ้นเชิง โปรตีนในนมพืช ต่ำเตี้ยเรี่ยดินเมื่อเทียบกับแค่ ไข่ นมวัวมีแก้วละ 6กรัม นมโอ้ตมีแก้วละ 3กรัม ในขณะที่ไข่เพียง 1ฟอง มีโปรตีน 6-7กรัม หรือจะเอาแคลเซียม ที่อ้างกันนัก นมแก้วนึง(200ml) มีแคลเซียม 123mg ในขณะที่ไข่แค่4ฟอง มีไปแล้ว 100mg ส่วนใครยังกลัวไข่เพราะมีคอเลสเตอรอล คุณปิดโพสได้เลย คุณเชยไปแล้วครับเขา move on เรื่องไข่กันไปนานแล้ว รบกวนหาข้อมูล แถมแคลเซียมที่กินไป ถ้าไม่ทำ xxxxx xxxx รู้ไหมว่ามันจะไปสะสมที่หลอดเลือด นี่ละตัวตันเลย ไม่ใช่คอเลสเตอรอล ส่วน xx นั้นถ้ายังไม่รู้ว่ามีอะไรบ้างที่ต้องทำเพื่อจัดการแคลเซียม ก็ยิ้มให้กับตัวเองเลยครับ ดื่มนมเพราะแคลเซียมนี่เนอะ 55555

นอกจากนี้ นมทุกชนิดยังเต็มไปด้วย "คาร์บ" แบบต่างๆ ทั้งน้ำตาลแลคโตสในนมวัว และแป้งเชิงซ้อนในนมพืช ส่วนตัวไหนคาร์บต่ำ ทุกอย่างก็ต่ำไปหมด เทียบเป็น น้ำเปล่าขุ่นๆ ราคาแพง

บางคนบอกว่า "นมพืชดี๊ดี กินแล้วน้ำตาลในเลือดไม่พุ่งเลยนะ" ฟังดูเหมือนดีนะ แต่...แค่ตัวเลขน้ำตาลในเลือดเฉียบพลันไม่กระโดด

จะบอกว่านั่นไม่ได้แปลว่าร่างกายปลอดภัยจริงๆ นะแค่ค่าน้ำตาลในเลือดมันเป็นแค่จุุดพอสังเกต เพราะสิ่งที่เกิดขึ้นหลังจากเราดื่มนมพืช โดยเฉพาะนมโอ๊ต คือ คาร์บแฝงที่จะค่อยๆ แตกตัวระหว่างการย่อย ร่างกายอาจจะไม่ช็อคน้ำตาลทันที แต่จะ กระตุ้นอินซูลิน ให้ทำงานหนักขึ้นแบบเนียนๆ อินซูลินสูงเรื้อรังโดยที่ไม่รู้ตัว เป็นเส้นทางลัดไปสู่ไขมันสะสม การอักเสบ และเบาหวานชนิดที่ 2 ในระยะยาว

ภัยเงียบที่น่ากลัวที่สุดของนมโอ๊ต จึงไม่ใช่แค่เรื่องน้ำตาล แต่คือ "ภาวะอินซูลินสูงแบบไร้อาการ" (Silent Hyperinsulinemia) เป็นอาการอินซูลินมันพุ่งสูง แบบที่ตรวจเฉพาะน้ำตาลจะไม่เห็น ต้องเจาะเฉพาะระดับอินซูลิน (Insulin test) ถึงจะรู้ บั่นทอนสุขภาพทีละน้อย เหมือนเชื้อไฟใต้เถ้า ที่รอวันระเบิดเป็นโรคเรื้อรังในอีก 10 ปีข้างหน้า

แล้วทำไมเราถึงศรัทธา "นม" จนหมดใจ? คำตอบคือ..."สงคราม"

Fiat system เก่งมากนะครับที่ไม่ได้แค่พิมพ์นมขึ้นมาจากอุตสาหกรรมเหลือทิ้ง หลังสงครามโลก แต่ยังพิมพ์ "ความกลัว" ลงในใจพวกเราว่า "ถ้าไม่ดื่มนม คุณจะไม่แข็งแรง"

หลังสงครามโลกครั้งที่ 2 อเมริกามีนมล้นตลาดจากโครงการป้อนเสบียงกองทัพ เมื่อสงครามยุติ นมจึงเหลือกองมหึมา ถ้าไม่หาทางระบาย ก็ขาดทุนยับเยิน รัฐจึงออก โครงการนมโรงเรียน บังคับให้เด็กในโรงเรียนต้องดื่มนมวันละแก้วทั่วประเทศ พร้อมเทงบสนับสนุนงานวิจัยที่บอกว่า "นมดีต่อกระดูก ดีต่อสุขภาพ" แต่จริงๆ งานวิจัยเหล่านั้นหลายชิ้น ก็เต็มไปด้วย bias และ เงินทุนจากอุตสาหกรรมนม นั่นเอง

"เราไม่ได้เลือกนมด้วยความเข้าใจ เราแค่เกิดมาในยุคที่นมล้นตลาด" เริ่มต้นจากเด็กในโรงเรียน ถูกเลี้ยง ถูกล้างสมอง จนคิดว่านมคือสัญลักษณ์ของการดูแลตัวเองที่ดี

เวลาผ่านไป โลกเปลี่ยน เด็กโตขึ้นมา เริ่มแพ้นมวัวกันเยอะขึ้น คนก็หันมาหาทางเลือกใหม่...นมพืช

แต่ระบบ Fiat Food ก็ยังทำงานแบบเดิม ผลิตนมพืชจากพืชเหลือทิ้งราคาถูก เช่น ข้าวโอ๊ต เสริมวิตามินแต่งหน้าตา ทำโฆษณาน่ารักๆ ว่า รักษ์โลก ใส่ใจสุขภาพ ดื่มแล้วเป็นทางเลือกของคนฉลาด ทางออกของคนย่อยแลคโตสไม่ได้

จากนั้นบุกเข้าโรงเรียนอีกครั้ง เสนอ "นมโอ๊ตโรงเรียน" แทนนมวัว ครอบเจนฯใหม่ทั้งกระบิทีเดียวเลย ใช้วิจัยใหม่ที่ เน้นเฉพาะข้อมูลด้านสิ่งแวดล้อมหรือ sustainability สร้างความเป็นผู้มีความรู้ในความเป็นคนรักโลก แต่หลีกเลี่ยงไม่พูดถึงสารอาหารจริงๆ

แล้วเด็กๆ ก็กำลังถูกปลูกฝังรอบใหม่อีกครั้ง...ว่า นมโอ๊ต = ทางเลือกสุขภาพ ติดสมองไปอีกหลายเจนฯ ทั้งที่...

นมโอ๊ตอุดมไปด้วยคาร์โบไฮเดรตแตกตัวง่าย ที่ทำให้อินซูลินพุ่งเรื้อรังแบบไร้สัญญาณเตือน โปรตีนต่ำจนไร้ความหมายในแง่สร้างกล้ามเนื้อหรือภูมิคุ้มกัน วิตามินแร่ธาตุที่เติมแต่ง เป็นสารสังเคราะห์ที่ดูดซึมได้ยากกว่าวิตามินจาก real food หลายเท่า

โลกหมุนเร็วขึ้น แต่ Fiat Food ยังวนลูปที่เดิม เปลี่ยนชื่อ เปลี่ยนฉลาก แต่ยังคง "ขายของเหลือ" ผ่านการล้างสมองทางโภชนาการอย่างแนบเนียน ในวันที่โอ้ตล้นโลกจน USDA ต้องหาทางออกให้ มิเช่นนั้นจะต้องเป็นฝ่ายดึงภาษีมาโอบอุ้มเสียเอง

ดังนั้น นมสัตว์ นมพืช ไม่ได้ต่างกันในด้านการครอบความคิด จะต่างกันแค่ผลทางการทำร้ายสุขภาพแบบเงียบๆระยะยาว โปรดเข้าใจประเด็นว่าไม่ใช่จะว่านมโอ้ตแล้วชูนมวัว

ไทม์ไลน์ย่อ "จากนมวัวล้นตลาด สู่แผนบุกนมโอ๊ตโรงเรียน" 1940s (WWII): อเมริกาขยายอุตสาหกรรมนมเพื่อเลี้ยงกองทัพ 1945: สงครามจบ นมล้นตลาด ต้องระบาย 1950: เปิด "โครงการนมโรงเรียน" (School Milk Program) บังคับเด็กดื่มนม พร้อมอุดหนุนฟาร์มนมอย่างลับๆ 1950s-1970s: ใช้งบวิจัยหนุนว่า "นมดีต่อสุขภาพ" ทั่วสหรัฐฯ และโลกตะวันตก 1980s: ปัญหาแพ้นม (Lactose Intolerance) โผล่มากขึ้น แต่โครงการยังเดินหน้าต่อ 2010s: กระแสนมพืชมาแรง ผู้คนตื่นตัวเรื่องแพ้แลคโตส และสิ่งแวดล้อม 2020s: อุตสาหกรรมนมพืชเร่งบุกโรงเรียน เสนอ "นมโอ๊ตโรงเรียน" เพื่อปลูกฝังตั้งแต่เล็กๆ ผ่านโฆษณา "ทางเลือกเพื่อโลก" (ซึ่งซ้ำรอยวิธีเดียวกับที่เคยผลักดันนมวัวเมื่อ 70 ปีก่อนแทบทุกประการ)

สุดท้าย ถามตัวเองอีกครั้ง... นมที่เราดื่มทุกเช้า มาจากความต้องการของร่างกาย หรือมาจากการตลาดที่ชนะสงครามไปตั้งแต่เรายังไม่เกิด?

เราดื่มนมไปทำไมวะ?????

เลือกเองอย่างเข้าใจธรรมชาติ แล้วคุณจะไม่ต้องตื่นขึ้นมาไล่ตามนมอีกเลย วันหยุดนี้ เข้าซุปเปอร์มาร์เกต แล้วดูฉลากโภชนาการกันสิ ว่าได้อะไรจากการดื่มนม

ถามว่าอ่านถึงตรงนี้ ผมเกลียดนมไหม บ้า ใครจะไปเกลียดนม เหตุผลเดียวเลยที่ผมยกให้นมคือ "อร่อย" นมอร่อย ไอติมอร่อย ลาเต้ดีงาม แต่มันคือความอร่อยที่ให้สารอาหารนิดหน่อย ผมไม่ได้เกลียดนม แต่ผมก็ไม่ได้บอกว่าเรา "ต้อง" จะเป็นจะตายเพื่อหานมมาดื่ม ไม่ต้องไปทุรนทุรายว่า เห้ย ทำไมฉันไม่ได้ดื่มนมนะ OMG ชั้นจะป่วยแน่ๆ ชั้นจะไม่แข็งแรงแน่ๆ

ผมเกลียด fiat ที่ครอบหัวคนมากี่รุ่นว่า ถ้าไม่ดื่มนม จะไม่แข็งแรง get มะ 5555

แต่ผมไมได้บอกว่าผมถูกนะ ใครมีเหตุผลที่สนับสนุนว่าเรา "ต้อง" ดื่มนมแบบ “เด็ดขาด” “ห้ามขาดการดื่มนม” มาแชร์กัน ผมยินดีเรียนรู้นะ แต่ประเภทว่า ดื่มแล้วไม่เห็นเป็นไร สะดวกดีบางทีกินง่าย น้องดื่มแล้วตัวสูง ฉันดื่มแล้วตัวสูง อะไรพวกนี้ไม่เอานะ มัน emotion

I used to hate end times prophecy because it didn’t make sense. I didn’t understand how the predictions could be true, so I wondered if the fulfillment was more figurative than literal. As time has progressed, I’ve seen technologies and international relations change in ways that make the predictions seem not only possible, but probable. I’ve seen the world look more and more like what is predicted for the end times.

I thought it would be handy to look at the predictions and compare them to events, technologies, and nations today. This is a major undertaking, so this will turn into a series. I only hope I can do it justice. I will have some links to news articles on these current events and technologies. Because I can’t remember where I’ve read many of these things, it is likely I will put some links to some news sources that I don’t normally recommend, but which do a decent job of covering the point I’m making. I’m sorry if I don’t always give a perfect source. I have limited time, so in some cases, I’ll link to the easy (main stream journals that show up high on web searches) rather than what I consider more reliable sources because of time constraints.

I also want to give one caveat to everything I discuss below. Although I do believe the signs suggest the Rapture and Tribulation are near, I can’t say exactly what that means or how soon these prophecies will be fulfilled. Could it be tomorrow, a month from now, a year from now, or 20 years from now? Yes, any of them could be true. Could it be even farther in the future? It could be, even if my interpretation of the data concludes that to be less likely.

I will start with a long passage from Matthew that describes what Jesus told His disciples to expect before “the end of the age.” Then I’ll go to some of the end times points that seemed unexplainable to me in the past. We’ll see where things go from there. I’ve already had to split discussion of this one passage into multiple posts due to length.

Jesus’s Signs of the End

As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”

And Jesus answered and said to them, “See to it that no one misleads you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many. You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes. But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.

“Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another. Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many. Because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved. This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come. (Matthew 24:3-14) {emphasis mine}

Before I go into the details I do want to clarify one thing. The verses that follow the above verses (Matthew 24:16-28) mention the “abomination of desolation” and therefore is clearly discussing the midpoint of the tribulation and the following 3.5 years or Great Tribulation. The first half of Matthew 24 discusses the birth pangs and the first half of the Tribulation. The signs that I discuss will be growing immediately preceding the Tribulation, but probably will not be completely fulfilled until the first 3.5 years of the Tribulation.

I do think we will see an increase of all of these signs before the 7 year Tribulation begins as part of the birth pangs even if they are not fulfilled completely until the Tribulation:

1. Wars and rumors of wars. (Matthew 24:6a)

2. Famines (Matthew 24:7)

3. Earthquakes (Matthew 24:7).

4. Israel will be attacked and will be hated by all nations (Matthew 24:9)

5. Falling away from Jesus (Matthew 24:10)

6. Many Misled (Matthew 24:10)

7. People’s love will grow cold (Matthew 24:12)

8. Gospel will be preached to the whole world (Matthew 24:14)

Now let’s go through each of these predictions to see what we are seeing today.

1. Wars and Rumors of Wars

When you hear of wars and disturbances, do not be terrified; for these things must take place first, but the end does not follow immediately.” (Luke 21:9)

In 1947 the doomsday clock was invented. It theoretically tells how close society is to all out war and destruction of mankind. It was just recently set to 89 seconds to midnight, the closest it has ever been. It is true that this isn’t a scientific measure and politics can effect the setting, i.e. climate change & Trump Derangement Syndrome, but it is still one of many indicators of danger and doom.

There are three main events going on right now that could lead to World War III and the end times.

Obviously the war between Russia and Ukraine has gotten the world divided. It is true that Russia invaded Ukraine, but there were many actions by the US and the EU that provoked this attack. Within months of the initial attack, there was a near agreement between Ukraine and Russia to end the war, but the US and the EU talked Ukraine out of peace, leading to hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians and Russians dying for basically no change of ground. Estimates of deaths vary greatly. See here, here, here. Almost all English sources list Russia as having many more deaths than Ukraine, but since Ukraine is now drafting kids and old men, is considering drafting women, and has most of its defensive capabilities destroyed, while Russia still seems to have plenty of men and weapons, I find this hard to believe. I don’t think any of the parties that have data are motivated to tell the truth. We probably will never know.

The way the EU (and the US until recently) has sacrificed everything to defend Ukraine (until this war known as the most corrupt nation in Europe and known for its actual Nazis) and to do everything in its power to keep the war with Russia going, things could easily escalate. The US and the EU have repeatedly crossed Russia’s red-lines. One of these days, Russia is likely to say “enough is enough” and actually attack Europe. This could easily spiral out of control. I do think that Trump’s pull back and negotiations makes this less likely to lead to world war than it seemed for the past several years. This article does a decent job of explaining the background for the war that most westerners, especially Americans, don’t understand.

Another less well known hot spot is the tension between China and Taiwan. Taiwan is closer politically to the US, but closer economically and culturally to China. This causes tension. Taiwan also produces the majority of the high tech microchips used in advanced technology. Both the US and China want and need this technology. I honestly believe this is the overarching issue regarding Taiwan. If either the US or China got control of Taiwan’s microchip production, it would be military and economic game over for the other. This is stewing, but I don’t think this will be the cause of world war 3, although it could become part of the war that leads to the Antichrist ruling the world.

The war that is likely to lead to the Tribulation involves Israel and the Middle East. Obviously, the Muslim nations hate Israel and attack them almost daily. We also see Iran, Russia, Turkey, and other nations making alliances that sound a lot like the Gog/Magog coalition in Ezekiel 38. The hate of Israel has grown to a level that makes zero sense unless you take into account the spiritual world and Bible prophecy. Such a small insignificant nation, that didn’t even exist for \~1900 years, shouldn’t have the influence on world politics that it does. It is about the size of the state of New Jersey. Most nations of Israel’s size, population, and economy are not even recognized by most people. Is there a person on earth that doesn’t know about Israel? I doubt it. Every nation on earth seems to have a strong positive or, more commonly, negative view of Israel. We’ll get to this hate of Israel more below in point 4.

2. Famines

In the two parallel passages to Matthew 24, there is once again the prediction of famines coming before the end.

For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places; there will also be famines. These things are merely the beginning of birth pangs. (Mark 13:8) {emphasis mine}

and there will be great earthquakes, and in various places plagues and famines; and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven. (Luke 21:11) {emphasis mine}

In Revelation, the third seal releases famine upon the earth and a day’s wages will only buy one person’s daily wheat needs. A man with a family would only be able to buy lower quality barley to barely feed his family.

When He broke the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, “Come.” I looked, and behold, a black horse; and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard something like a voice in the center of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not damage the oil and the wine.” (Revelation 6:5-6) {emphasis mine}

We shouldn’t fear a Tribulation level famine as a precursor to the Tribulation, but we should see famines scattered around the world, shortages of different food items, and rising food prices, all of which we are seeing. (Once again, I can’t support many of these sources or verify all of their data, but they give us a feel of what is going on today.)

Food Prices Go Up

• Bird Flu scares and government responses cause egg and chicken prices to increase. The government response to the flu is actually causing more problems than the flu itself and it looks like this more dangerous version may have come out of a US lab.

• Tariffs and trade war cause some items to become more expensive or less available. here

• Ukraine war effecting the supply of grain and reducing availability of fertilizer. More info.

• Inflation and other effects causing food prices to go up. This is a poll from Americans.

- Grocery prices overall have increased around 23% since 2021, with prices on individual items like coffee and chocolate rising much faster.

• General Food inflation is difficult, but not life destroying for most of the world, but some nations are experiencing inflation that is causing many to be unable to afford food. Single digit food inflation is difficult, even in well-to-do nations, but in poor nations, where a majority of the people’s income already goes to food, it can be catastrophic. When you look at nations like Zimbabwe (105%), Venezuela (22%), South Sudan (106%), Malawi (38%), Lebanon (20%), Haiti (37%), Ghana (26%), Burundi (39%), Bolivia (35%), and Argentina (46%), you can see that there are some seriously hurting people. More info.

• It does look like general food inflation has gone down for the moment (inflation has gone down, but not necessarily prices), but there are many situations around the world that could make it go back up again.

• Wars causing famine

• Sudan: War has made an already poor and hurting country even worse off.

• Gaza: (When I did a web search, all of the sites that came up on the first couple of pages are Israel hating organizations that are trying to cause trouble and/or raise money, so there is major bias. I did link to one of these sites just to be thorough, but take into account the bias of the source.)

• Ukraine: Mostly covered above. The war in Ukraine has affected the people of Ukraine and the world negatively relative to food.

I’m sure there are plenty more evidences for famine or potential famine, but this gives a taste of what is going on.

Our global economy has good and bad effects on the food supply. Being able to transport food around the globe means that when one area has a bad crop, they can import food from another area that produced more than they need. On the other hand, sometimes an area stops producing food because they can import food more cheaply. If something disrupts that imported food (tariffs, trade wars, physical wars, transportation difficulties, intercountry disputes, etc.) then they suddenly have no food. We definitely have a fragile system, where there are many points that could fail and cause famine to abound.

The Bible also talks about another kind of famine in the end times.

“Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord God,\ “When I will send a famine on the land,\ *Not a famine for bread or a thirst for water,\ But rather for hearing the words of the Lord*.\ People will stagger from sea to sea\ And from the north even to the east;\ They will go to and fro to seek the word of the Lord,\ But they will not find it**. (Amos 8:11-12) {emphasis mine}

We are definitely seeing a famine regarding the word of God. It isn’t that the word of God is not available, but even in churches, there is a lack of teaching the actual word of God from the Scriptures. Many churches teach more self-help or feel good messages than they do the word of God. Those looking to know God better are starving or thirsting for truth and God’s word. I know multiple people who have given up on assembling together in church because they can’t find a Bible believing, Scripture teaching church. How sad!

Although famine should be expected before the Tribulation, the good news is that no famine will separate us from our Savior.

Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? (Romans 8:35) {emphasis mine}

3. Earthquakes

We recently saw a major \~7.8 earthquake in Myanmar. Although it seems like we are having many major earthquakes, it is more difficult to determine whether there is actually a major increase or if the seeming increase is due to increasing population to harm, more/better instrumentation, and/or more media coverage. We are definitely seeing lots of earthquake damage and loss of life. I tend to think the number and severity of earthquakes will increase even more before the Tribulation, but only time will tell.

4. Israel will be attacked and will be hated by all nations

“Then they will deliver you [Israel] to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. (Matthew 24:9) {emphasis & clarification mine}

This verse doesn’t specifically mention Israel. It says “you,” but since Jesus was talking to Jews, the best interpretation is that this warning is to the Jews. At the same time, we are also seeing attacks on Christians, so it likely refers to both Jews and Christians. I’m going to focus on Jews/Israel because I don’t think I need to convince most Christians that persecution is increasing.

We have been seeing hatred of Jews and Israel growing exponentially since the biblical prediction of a re-establishment of Israel was accomplished.

All end times prophecy focuses on Israel and requires Israel to be recreated again since it was destroyed in A.D. 70.

Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things?\ Can a land be born in one day?\ Can a nation be brought forth all at once?\ As soon as Zion travailed, she also brought forth her sons. (Isaiah 66:8)

• “British Foreign Minister Lord Balfour issued on November 2, 1917, the so-called Balfour Declaration, which gave official support for the “establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people” with the commitment not to be prejudiced against the rights of the non-Jewish communities.” In one day Israel was declared a nation.

• “On the day when the British Mandate in Palestine expired, the State of Israel was instituted on May 14, 1948, by the Jewish National Council under the presidency of David Ben Gurion.” Then on another day Israel actually came into being with a leader and citizens.

• “Six-Day War: after Egypt closed the Straits of Tiran on May 22, 1967, Israel launched an attack on Egyptian, Jordanian, Syrian, and Iraqi airports on June 5, 1967. After six days, Israel conquered Jerusalem, the Golan Heights, Sinai, and the West Bank.” On June 11, 1967 Jerusalem was conquered and once again became the capital of Israel.

If you read any of these links you can see the history of Israel being repeatedly attacked in an attempt to destroy Israel and stop God’s prophecy that Israel would be recreated and be used in the end times as part of the judgement of the world. This is a very good article on how God plans to use Israel in end times, how God will fulfill all of his promises to Israel, and how the attacks on Israel are Satan’s attempt to stop God’s plan. It is well worth you time to read and well supported by Scripture.

Since Israel became a new nation again, the nations of the world have ramped up their attacks on Israel and the Jews. The hatred of the Jews is hard to fathom. The Jews living in Israel have been constantly at risk of suicide bombers, terrorist attacks, rocket/missile attacks, etc. Almost daily attacks are common recently. The most significant recent attack happened on October 7th. Around 3,000 Hamas terrorists stormed across the border and attacked men, women, and children. About 1200 were killed, mostly civilians and even kids. In addition to murdering these innocent individuals, others were tortured, raped, and kidnapped as well.

You would expect the world to rally around a nation attacked in such a horrendous manner (like most of the world rallied around the US after 9/11), but instead you immediately saw protests supporting Palestine and condemning Israel. I’ve never seen something so upside down in my life. It is impossible to comprehend until you consider the spiritual implications. Satan has been trying to destroy Israel and the Jews since God made His first promise to Abraham. I will never claim that everything Israeli politicians and generals do is good, but the hate towards this tiny, insignificant nation is unfathomable and the world supporting terrorist attacks, instead of the victims of these attacks, is beyond belief.

Israel allows people of Jewish ancestry and Palestinian ancestry to be citizens and vote. There are Jews, Muslims, and Christians in the Knesset (Jewish Congress). Yes, Israel has responded harshly against the Palestinians and innocents have been harmed, but Israel repeatedly gave up land for peace and then that land has been used to attack them. I can’t really condemn them for choosing to risk the death of Palestinian innocents over risking the death of their own innocents. Hamas and Hezbollah are known for attacking innocents, and then using their own innocents as human shields. They then accuse their victims of atrocities when their human shields are harmed. The UN Human Rights council condemns Israel more than all other nations combined when there are atrocities being committed in many, many other nations that are as bad or worse. Why is the world focused on Israel and the Jews? It is because God loves them (despite their rejection of Him) and because Satan hates them.

Throughout history the world has tried to destroy the Jews, but thanks to God and His eternal plan, they are still here and standing strong. the hate is growing to a fevered pitch, just as predicted by Jesus.

This post has gotten so long that it can’t be emailed, so I will post the final 4 points in a follow-up post. I hope these details are helpful to you and seeing that all of the crazy, hate, and destruction occurring in the world today was known by God and is being used by God to His glory and are good according to His perfect plan.

When we see that everything happening in the world is just part of God’s perfect plan, we can have peace, knowing that God is in control. We need to lean on Him and trust Him just as a young child feels safe in his Fathers arms. At the same time, seeing the signs should encourage us to share the Gospel with unbelievers because our time is short. Don’t put off sharing Jesus with those around you because you might not get another chance.

Trust Jesus.

FYI, I hope to write several more articles on the end times (signs of the times, the rapture, the millennium, and the judgement), but I might be a bit slow rolling them out because I want to make sure they are accurate and well supported by Scripture. You can see my previous posts on the end times on the end times tab at trustjesus.substack.com. I also frequently will list upcoming posts.

แดดกับ Infradian Rhythm จังหวะลึกล้ำของชีวิตที่ธรรมชาติกำหนด เวลาเราพูดถึง "วงจรชีวิต" คนส่วนใหญ่จะนึกถึงแค่การนอนตื่นตามรอบวัน หรือ circadian rhythm ที่พระอาทิตย์ขึ้นแล้วเราตื่น พระอาทิตย์ตกแล้วเราง่วง แต่จริง ๆ แล้วร่างกายมนุษย์นั้นลึกซึ้งกว่านั้นมากครับ เพราะนอกจาก circadian rhythm แล้วเรายังมีจังหวะชีวภาพอีกชนิดนึงที่ชื่อว่า "Infradian Rhythm" ซึ่งไม่ได้เดินเป็นรอบวัน แต่เป็นรอบที่ยาวกว่านั้น อาจเป็นรอบสัปดาห์ หรือแม้แต่รอบเดือน และหนึ่งในตัวตั้งจังหวะชั้นดีนี้ที่ใครหลายคนมองข้าม ก็คือ "แดด" นั่นเองครับ

Infradian Rhythm คืออะไร? คำว่า Infradian มาจากรากศัพท์ละติน "infra" ที่แปลว่า "ต่ำกว่า" หรือ "ยาวกว่า" และ "diem" ที่แปลว่า "วัน" เพราะฉะนั้น Infradian จึงหมายถึงวงจรชีวภาพที่นานกว่าหนึ่งวัน เช่น - วัฏจักรรอบเดือนของผู้หญิง (ประมาณ 28 วัน) - จังหวะของระบบภูมิคุ้มกัน (ที่มีกลไกการตอบสนองขึ้นลงตามรอบ) - วัฏจักรการหลั่งฮอร์โมน เช่น testosterone ในผู้ชาย ที่ขึ้นลงเป็นรายสัปดาห์ - จังหวะของอารมณ์หรือพลังชีวิต ที่มี pattern ประจำสัปดาห์หรือเดือน

วงจรเหล่านี้ไม่ได้ใช้แค่เวลาบอกจังหวะ แต่ต้องการสิ่งกระตุ้น (zeitgeber) จากธรรมชาติ เช่น แสง เสียง อุณหภูมิ และโดยเฉพาะอย่างยิ่ง แสงแดด ผมลองรวบรวมสรุปเป็นหมวดๆให้เพื่อเห็นภาพรวมง่ายขึ้นนะครับ

หมวดที่ 1 แดดกับ Infradian Rhythm ของผู้หญิง สำหรับผู้หญิง แดดมีบทบาทโดยตรงกับรอบเดือนผ่านหลายกลไก เช่น 1.1 แสงแดดกับวิตามิน D วิตามิน D ที่สร้างจากแสง UVB มีผลต่อการควบคุมระดับฮอร์โมนเพศหญิง เช่น estrogen และ progesterone หากขาดแดด วงจรฮอร์โมนอาจรวน ทำให้มีอาการ PMS หนัก อารมณ์แกว่ง หรือรอบเดือนมาไม่ปกติ 1.2 แดดกับการหลั่ง melatonin แสงแดดยามเช้าช่วยหยุดการผลิต melatonin และเปิดการผลิต cortisol อย่างสมดุล ซึ่งเป็นกลไกสำคัญที่ควบคุมการสร้าง LH และ FSH (ฮอร์โมนที่ควบคุมการตกไข่) 1.3 Infrared light กับไมโทคอนเดรีย แดดบ่ายที่มีรังสีอินฟราเรดช่วยกระตุ้นพลังงานในระดับเซลล์ ซึ่งส่งผลต่อการซ่อมแซมและปรับสมดุลฮอร์โมนระยะยาว

หมวดที่ 2 แดดกับ Infradian Rhythm ของผู้ชาย แม้ผู้ชายจะไม่มีรอบเดือน แต่ก็มี Infradian เช่นกัน โดยเฉพาะในระบบฮอร์โมนและอารมณ์ครับ 2.1 Testosterone fluctuation แสงแดดช่วยกระตุ้นการหลั่ง testosterone โดยเฉพาะแสงแดดที่สัมผัสผิวหนังและดวงตา การได้รับแดดสม่ำเสมอช่วยให้ร่างกายเข้าสู่วงจรการผลิตฮอร์โมนที่เหมาะสม และไม่เหวี่ยงมาก 2.2 แดดกับการนอน แสงแดดยามเช้ารีเซ็ตวงจรการนอน ทำให้ testosterone หลั่งดีขึ้นในช่วงเช้ามืด (ซึ่งเป็นเวลาที่ร่างกายผลิตฮอร์โมนนี้มากที่สุด) 2.3 แดดกับการซ่อมแซมกล้ามเนื้อ รังสี Infrared และ Red light จากแดดบ่ายช่วยให้ไมโทคอนเดรียในกล้ามเนื้อทำงานดีขึ้น ซึ่งสอดคล้องกับรอบการฟื้นฟูแบบ Infradian ของกล้ามเนื้อหลังออกกำลังกาย

หมวดที่ 3 แดดกับ Infradian Rhythm ในผู้สูงอายุ เมื่ออายุมากขึ้น ร่างกายมักจะสูญเสียจังหวะธรรมชาติไปทีละน้อย ในหมวดนี้เลยแสดงถึงความสัมพันธ์ตามวัยครับ 3.1 ฮอร์โมนลดลง การตอบสนองต่อแสงก็ลดลง ผู้สูงวัยมักผลิต melatonin ลดลง ทำให้นอนไม่ลึกและส่งผลต่อระบบภูมิคุ้มกันที่มีจังหวะ Infradian 3.2 แสงแดดช่วยชะลอการเสื่อม งานวิจัยหลายชิ้นพบว่าแดดช่วยชะลอความเสื่อมของจังหวะชีวภาพในสมอง โดยช่วยลดภาวะซึมเศร้าและชะลอการเสื่อมของสมอง (เช่น Alzheimer) 3.3 ไนตริกออกไซด์ (NO) รังสี UVA จากแดดกระตุ้นการปล่อย NO จากผิวหนัง ซึ่งช่วยเรื่องความดันโลหิตและการไหลเวียนเลือดแบบรอบสัปดาห์ ส่งผลดีต่อหัวใจในระยะยาว

ดังนั้นเมื่อเอาทั้งหมดมาขมวดรวมกันจะพบว่า กลไกสำคัญที่แดดกระทบกับ Infradian Rhythm มีภาพร่างดังนี้ครับ 1.Vitamin D จาก UVB ช่วยสร้างสมดุลฮอร์โมน, สนับสนุนภูมิคุ้มกัน 2.Nitric Oxide (NO) จาก UVA ช่วยขยายหลอดเลือด, ลดการอักเสบเรื้อรัง 3.Melatonin และ Cortisol แดดยามเช้าควบคุมการตื่นและการนอนอย่างมีจังหวะ 4.Infrared Light ช่วงแดดบ่ายแก่ ช่วยซ่อมแซมเซลล์, สนับสนุนการฟื้นตัว 5.Circannual และ Infradian Crosslink แสงแดดฤดูต่าง ๆ (ที่มีช่วงคลื่นต่างกัน) ส่งผลให้จังหวะรอบเดือนและภูมิคุ้มกันเปลี่ยนไปตามฤดูกาล

ซึ่งถ้าอ่านแล้วบางอย่างดูยังสับสนว่าเอ๊ะมันควรจะเป็น circadian rhythm ไม่ใช่เหรอ เช่น การนอน คือมันสามารถอธิบายได้สั้นๆว่า มันมีการทับซ้อนกันครับ ที่เราแยกเป็นเรื่องนี้มาพูดคุยกันเพราะมันมีความสัมพันธ์กันอยู่ อย่างที่คุยกันเสมอๆว่า ร่างกายต้องมองเป็น spectrum ไม่ใช่ binary คอมพิวเตอร์ 011001

โดยตรงแล้ว Sleep–Wake Cycle เราคุมกันที่ Circadian กับ Homeostatic Drive มากกว่า แต่ Infradian ก็อาจส่งผลทางอ้อมผ่านทาง ฮอร์โมนเอสโตรเจนและโปรเจสเตอโรนขึ้น–ลงตามรอบเดือน ส่งผลต่อคุณภาพการนอน เช่น ช่วงใกล้มีประจำเดือนอาจนอนหลับไม่ลึก หรือช่วงวัยทอง (perimenopause) ที่ Infradian เริ่มเปลี่ยนฮอร์โมน จะมีอาการร้อนวูบวาบ ตื่นกลางดึกบ่อยขึ้น หรือแม้แต่ อาการซึมเศร้าตามฤดูกาล (Infradian รายปี) มักเกิดฤดูหนาว ซึ่งแสงน้อย ทำให้ Circadian ฟั่นเฟือนไปด้วย ทำให้นอนมากขึ้นหรือนอนไม่หลับตามฤดู แม้กระทั่งสัมพันธ์ทางพฤติกรรม งานวิจัยบางชิ้นชี้ว่ามนุษย์อาจมีแนวโน้มอยากนอนเพิ่มขึ้นในช่วงปลายสัปดาห์ (weekend catch-up sleep) ซึ่งเป็น Infradian รายสัปดาห์ที่เกิดจากพฤติกรรมสังคมและสะสม Homeostatic Drive

ทีนี้พอจะเข้าใจแล้วใช่ไหมครับว่า ทำไมเราควรเลิกถามเสียทีว่า "ตากแดดเวลาไหนดีที่สุด", "ตากแดดนานแค่ไหนดีที่สุด" จะให้ตอบยังไง? มันแงะออกมาไม่ได้ครับ เราอย่ายึดติดกับการสรุป สรุป สรุป สรุปสิว่าตกลงต้องยังไง การเสพโซเชียลทำให้เราเคยชินกับความฉาบฉวย คัดย่อ จนหลงลืมรายละเอียดว่า โลกแห่งชีวะคือความสัมพันธ์ พารายังไม่ได้แค่แก้ปวดเลย จะนับอะไรกับแดด

คำตอบที่ดีที่สุดผมคิดว่ามันคือ "เลิกถามจุ๊กจิ๊ก แล้วหัดออกไปตากให้ได้ก่อน เปิดตา เปิดหู ปิดปาก" จากนั้นค่อยเอาข้อสงสัยจากการตาก ข้อสงสัยจากการอ่าน มาประมวลผลเองก่อนว่า มีอะไรที่สามารถตอบกันได้บ้างไหม

อย่างที่เราเคยเปรียบเปรยกันครับ แดดไม่ใช่แค่แสง แต่คือผู้อำนวยเพลงที่ประสานเสียงร่างกายทุกจังหวะ ในขณะที่ไฟฟ้าทำให้เราลืมจังหวะธรรมชาติ แดดยังอยู่ตรงนั้น คอยเคาะจังหวะอย่างอดทน รอให้เรากลับมาได้ยินเสียงของตัวเองอีกครั้งหนึ่ง ไม่ใช่แค่เสียงในวันนี้ แต่คือเสียงของชีวิตในรอบเดือน หน้า และปีต่อไป

แดด…ไม่เคยหายไปจากเราเลย มีแต่เราที่ห่างหายไปจากแดดเสียเอง

ตากไปก่อนเหอะ แล้วค่อยถาม "บ่อยเท่าที่ได้ นานเท่าที่ไหว"

ส่วนใครอ่านบทนี้แล้วงง ไม่ต้องเครียดครับ บทต่อๆไปจะค่อยๆมาคลีคลายให้ ทีละนิด #pirateketo #SundaySpecialเราจะไปเป็นหมูแดดเดียว #กูต้องรู้มั๊ย #ม้วนหางสิลูก #siamstr

・ThunderHubで焼いたマカロンがlncli printmacaroonでどう見えるか確認した。

ThunderHub macaroon permissions

get invoices invoices:read create invoices invoices:write get payments offchain:read pay invoices offchain:write get chain transactions onchain:read send to chain address onchain:write create chain address address:write get wallet info info:read stop daemon info:write この結果によれば、offchain:wirteとonchain:writeの権限がなければそのマカロンを使うクライアントは勝手にBTCを送金することができない。 info:writeがなければ勝手にLNDを止めたりすることができない。

・lncli printmacaroonでデフォルトで作られるmacaroonのpermissionsを調べてみた。 admin.macaroon { "version": 2, "location": "lnd", "root_key_id": "0", "permissions": [ "address:read", "address:write", "info:read", "info:write", "invoices:read", "invoices:write", "macaroon:generate", "macaroon:read", "macaroon:write", "message:read", "message:write", "offchain:read", "offchain:write", "onchain:read", "onchain:write", "peers:read", "peers:write", "signer:generate", "signer:read" ], "caveats": null } chainnotifier.macaroon { "version": 2, "location": "lnd", "root_key_id": "0", "permissions": [ "onchain:read" ], "caveats": null } invoice.macaroon { "version": 2, "location": "lnd", "root_key_id": "0", "permissions": [ "address:read", "address:write", "invoices:read", "invoices:write", "onchain:read" ], "caveats": null } invoices.macaroon { "version": 2, "location": "lnd", "root_key_id": "0", "permissions": [ "invoices:read", "invoices:write" ], "caveats": null } readonly.macaroon { "version": 2, "location": "lnd", "root_key_id": "0", "permissions": [ "address:read", "info:read", "invoices:read", "macaroon:read", "message:read", "offchain:read", "onchain:read", "peers:read", "signer:read" ], "caveats": null } router.macaroon { "version": 2, "location": "lnd", "root_key_id": "0", "permissions": [ "offchain:read", "offchain:write" ], "caveats": null } signer.macaroon { "version": 2, "location": "lnd", "root_key_id": "0", "permissions": [ "signer:generate", "signer:read" ], "caveats": null } walletkit.macaroon { "version": 2, "location": "lnd", "root_key_id": "0", "permissions": [ "address:read", "address:write", "onchain:read", "onchain:write" ], "caveats": null }

・lncli listpermissions コマンドですべての RPC メソッド URI と、それらを呼び出すために必要なマカロン権限を一覧表示できる。 LND v0.18.5-betaでやると1344行ほどのJSONができる。 AddInvoiceだとinvoice:writeのpermissionを持つmacaroonを使えばインボイスを作れるようだ。 "/lnrpc.Lightning/AddInvoice": { "permissions": [ { "entity": "invoices", "action": "write" } ] }, lncli listpermissionsからentityとactionを抜き出してみた。 ``` "entity": "address", "entity": "info", "entity": "invoices", "entity": "macaroon", "entity": "message", "entity": "offchain", "entity": "onchain", "entity": "peers", "entity": "signer",

This LA Times story, from their archives, is not paywalled:

WASHINGTON — The chief of China’s military intelligence secretly directed funds from Beijing to help re-elect President Clinton in 1996, former Democratic fund-raiser Johnny Chung has told federal investigators.

According to sources familiar with Chung’s sealed statements to federal prosecutors, Chung says he met three times with the intelligence official, General Ji Shengde, who ordered $300,000 deposited into the Torrance businessman’s bank account to subsidize campaign donations intended for Clinton,

Never forget blatant, destructive, disloyalty to the USA.

It's not an accident that the Clinton donation from China happened in (Freemason controlled) Los Angeles, where China has a massive presence to this day. Take a drive on San Gabriel Blvd and see for yourself.

According to law enforcement and other sources, key aspects of Chung’s testimony, which has not been made public, have been corroborated by financial records in the United States and Hong Kong.

+++++++++++ Chung, 44, a Taiwan-born American citizen who lives in Artesia, Calif., was one of the most prominent figures in the 1996 campaign finance scandal. He contributed more than $400,000 to various Democratic campaigns and causes, visited the White House no fewer than 50 times and brought numerous Chinese associates to events with the president and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton.

As you might expect, it is illegal for U.S. political parties or candidates to accept contributions from foreign sources.

Only a portion of the $300,000 made it into Democratic campaign coffers, records show.

A spokesman for China’s embassy in Washington denied any involvement in the 1996 elections.

After taking the most predictable option on day 1, the last 6 rounds of the draft were a rollercoaster. The Raiders traded back twice in the 2nd round and ended up with some extra picks.

Picks

• RB Ashton Jeanty: Best player available at a position of need. Jeanty + Bowers gives the Raiders offense two elite weapons

• WR Jack Bech: Tough, physical receiver with great hands, willing and able blocker

• CB Darien Porter: Elite athlete, classic Raiders pick, "Can't teach size, can't teach speed."

• OL Caleb Rogers: Versatile, athletic lineman, will likely compete at guard

• OL Charles Grant: Same as above, but more likely to compete at tackle

• WR: Donte Thornton: 6'5" and 4.3 speed, another classic Raiders pick, can open the field for the other weapons

• DT Tonka Hemingway: Dope name, versatile and athletic D-Lineman, adds depth and optionality to a very talented groups

• DT/TE/FB JJ Pegues: Interesting guy, probably won't contribute much as a DT immediately, but could be part of the goal line package on offense, as he had 7 rushing TDs last year and as a former TE could be a red zone target too

• WR/KR/PR/QB Tommy Mellot: Another super versatile player, ran a 4.4 40 as a QB, but will convert to WR and return kicks, seems like someone with tons of trick play potential

• QB Cam Miller: Finally, an actual QB! Won a ton of games at a smaller program.

• LB Cody Lindenberg: 7th rounder, probably special teams if he makes the team

Takeaways

The Raiders added a ton of talent and versatility to their offense, including a defensive player who can contribute to the red zone offense in several ways. They're building a big physically dominant offense around an elite RB/TE combo, with big physical WRs who don't mind blocking and another talented TE.

The defensive line is going to have to be really dominant, which they have the potential for, because there is a dearth of talent behind them. Porter recently converted to CB from WR, so will likely take time to develop, and the others are day 3 picks.

The recipe will likely be to eat up clock on long offensive drives to give our pass rushers lots of breathers. Score reliably with a much improved redzone offense and a great kicker, then rely on that pass rush and the best punter in the league to keep the other team out of the endzone.

It's a good starting point. Maybe they'll sign Ramsey, or something, and really upgrade the defensive back group before the season starts.

※スポットライトから移植した古い記事です。参考程度に。

これを参考にしてUmbrelのBitcoin Nodeをカスタムsignetノードにする。 以下メモ書きご容赦。備忘録程度に書き留めました。

メインネットとは共存できない。Bitcoinに依存する全てのアプリを削除しなければならない。よって実験機に導入すべき。

<手順>

1.Umbrel Bitcoin Nodeアプリのadvance settingでsignetを選択。

2.CLI appスクリプトでbitcoinを止める。 cd umbrel/scripts ./app stop bitcoin 3.bitcoin.conf, umbrel-bitcoin.conf以外を削除 ディレクトリの場所は ~/umbrel/app-data/bitcoin/data/bitcoin 4.umbrel-bitcoin.confをsu権限で編集。末尾にsignetchallengeを追加。 ``` [signet] bind=0.0.0.0:8333 bind=10.21.21.8:8334=onion

51,21,<公開鍵>,51,ae

signetchallenge=5121<公開鍵>51ae 5.appスクリプトでbitcoinを開始。 cd ~/umbrel/scripts ./app start bitcoin ``` 6.適当にディレクトリを作りgithubからbitcoindのソースをクローン。

7.bitcoindのバイナリをダウンロード、bitcoin-cliおよびbitcoin-utilを~/.local/binに置く。6.のソースからビルドしても良い。ビルド方法は自分で調べて。

8.bitcondにマイニング用のウォレットを作成 ``` alias bcli='docker exec -it bitcoin_bitcoind_1 bitcoin-cli -signet -rpcconnect=10.21.21.8 -rpcport=8332 -rpcuser=umbrel -rpcpassword=<パスワード>'

ウォレットを作る。

bcli createwallet "mining" false true "" false false

秘密鍵をインポート

bcli importprivkey "<秘密鍵>" RPCパスワードは以下で確認 cat ~/umbrel/.env | grep BITCOIN_RPC_PASS 9.ソースにあるbitcoin/contrib/signet/minerスクリプトを使ってマイニング cd <ダウンロードしたディレクトリ>/bitcoin/contrib/signet

難易度の算出

./miner \ --cli="bitcoin-cli -signet -rpcconnect=10.21.21.8 -rpcport=8332 -rpcuser=umbrel -rpcpassword=<パスワード>" calibrate \ --grind-cmd="bitcoin-util grind" --seconds 30 ★私の環境で30秒指定したら nbits=1d4271e7 と算出された。実際にこれで動かすと２分30になるけど...

ジェネシスブロック生成

./miner \ --cli="bitcoin-cli -signet -rpcconnect=10.21.21.8 -rpcport=8332 -rpcuser=umbrel -rpcpassword=<パスワード>" generate \ --address <ビットコインアドレス> \ --grind-cmd="bitcoin-util grind" --nbits=1d4271e7 \ --set-block-time=$(date +%s)

継続的にマイニング

./miner \ --cli="bitcoin-cli -signet -rpcconnect=10.21.21.8 -rpcport=8332 -rpcuser=umbrel -rpcpassword=<パスワード>" generate \ --address <ビットコインアドレス> \ --grind-cmd="bitcoin-util grind" --nbits=1d4271e7 \ --ongoing ``` ここまでやればカスタムsignetでビットコインノードが稼働する。

I work in the business world as a salesperson. I am frequently out and about in the community trying to make friends, connect with people who I can help, and ultimately grow my book of business. I have goals set by my employers and I aim to meet those expectations. Because of this, I find myself frequently under pressure to find ways to produce. This often leads to me being disappointed in myself; my sales cycles are long and I lose more deals than I win. My Dad often reminds me that How to Win Friends and Influence People has all the secrets of sales I'll ever need, but I still end up wishing I could find that secret edge to out-do the competition. That's where the watch temptation comes in.

I frequently see a luxurious timepiece on the left wrist of my peers and elder-statesmen closers. Rolex, Omega, Patek, a whole world of $10k minimum machines. It comes across as a power-move, a symbol of status that is hard to ignore. It sends a message that the bearer's time is more valuable than that of other people. It makes me think "if this person is wearing that watch, that means they're great at what they do." The ultimate investment in one's self.

As a newly married man expecting a child, it is hard for me to stomach such a purchase. My wife has supported the idea of me potentially getting such a timepiece; as much as it tickles my fancy, I'd rather put my capital towards things that further my family than my clout. One of the things that struck me was a statement made by an investment advisor in my Kiwanis club: "A watch is a purchase, not an investment."

What a true statement! His words helped me escape my short-lived delusions. That said, I still look at watches sometimes on the internet (The Omega No Time to Die watch is sleek looking). One day, I found myself looking at houses online shortly after looking at watches online. Then it hit me: how many purchases are being marketed as investments in this era? A Rolex is a supposed investment in your career, not just a luxury timepiece. A house is a mechanism for monetary growth, not an attainable home to be enjoyed by a family. A college degree is an investment for your future, not a vehicle for building upon passions.

The Bitcoiners will repeat the phrase "fix the money, fix the world" in harmonious chorus to address the concern I have laid out in this article. Ultimately, I leave you with this reminder: don't let the world pass off things that should be inconsequential purchases as investments with ROIs. I believe the only true investment one can make is into the people around them; that will yield the greatest rewards for the soul.

In today’s world, many people chase after money. We often think that wealth equals success and happiness. But if we look closer, we see that money is just a tool. The real goal is freedom.

Money helps us access resources and experiences. It can open doors. But the constant pursuit of wealth can trap us. We may find ourselves stressed, competing with others, and feeling unfulfilled. The more we chase money, the more we might lose sight of what truly matters.

Freedom, on the other hand, is about choice. It’s the ability to live life on our own terms. When we prioritize freedom, we can follow our passions and build meaningful relationships. We can spend our time on what we love, rather than being tied down by financial worries.

True fulfillment comes from this freedom. It allows us to define success for ourselves. When we embrace freedom, we become more resilient and creative. We connect more deeply with ourselves and others. This sense of purpose often brings more happiness than money ever could.

In the end, money isn’t the ultimate goal. It’s freedom that truly matters. By focusing on living authentically and making choices that resonate with us, we can create a life filled with meaning and joy.

We must keep in mind that p2p networks are exposed to the risk of denial of service attacks, and an effective way to mitigate this type of attacks is by using sentry nodes.

Why is it important to avoid denial of service attacks?​

When our node is suffering a denial of service attack that cannot be mitigated by the server provider, it is likely that the server will be inoperative for the duration of the attack because, being saturated, it will stop responding to the requests made by the rest of the nodes in the network.

If our node becomes inoperative, it means that we are no longer participating in the consensus rounds, our node will not be signing blocks or generating rewards for the delegators and therefore in a few minutes the node will be jailed and penalized.

In addition to being a risk for node operators due to the penalties involved in being jailed, it is also a risk for the network, since if an attack is carried out on several nodes at the same time, the stability and security of the network would be affected. Sentry nodes hide our validator’s IP from the world​

Using sentry nodes is a solution to prevent the rest of the network from knowing the IP of our validator node, but allowing our validator node to continue communicating with other validator nodes in the terp network, since if the node were 100% isolated, it would not be able to participate in the network and therefore would not generate rewards for the delegators.

A sentry node is a bridge between our validator node and the rest of the network, so that the rest of the network does not know the IP of the validator node, but the IP of the sentry nodes.

Can sentry nodes suffer denial of service attacks?​

Yes, but as they are nodes that are not validating transactions and only act as a bridge between the network and the validating node, we could quickly deploy new sentry nodes or even change the IP of the sentry node being attacked. How many sentry nodes can there be?​

There is really no maximum number, the more sentry nodes we have, the more resistance to denial of service attacks our validator node will have. However, it must be taken into account that the more sentry nodes we have, the more complex it will be to maintain our nodes when carrying out maintenance or upgrades, in addition to the increase in server costs. You should have at least two sentry nodes and if possible have one of them in a different datacenter from where the validator node is deployed. Where should the sentry nodes be deployed?​

If two sentry nodes are going to be mounted, one of them could be deployed in the same datacenter where our validator node is, this will reduce the latency between both servers, and therefore, the connection between both servers will be quite fast. The other sentry node could be located in a different datacenter; this way, in case the network of the datacenter where our validator node is down for any reason, we would always have a node with the current block available to synchronize our validator node. Step by step guide​

To follow this guide, we will use a node created & connected to 90u-3 testnet network. In case you have not deployed the node yet, how to install the terp-core binary Creating the sentry nodes​

Once we have contracted the two sentry node servers and we have the access IPs, we must perform the same installation that we would perform as if it were a validator node on both servers.

First, we will need to download and compile the terp-core binary.

git clone https://github.com/terpnetwork/terp-core.git cd terp-core git checkout

Once downloaded, we will proceed to compile the binary:

make install

It will also be necessary to initialize the node so that the .terp directory is created, for this we can use the following commands, each one in the corresponding server:

On sentry node A:

terpd init "terpd-up - Sentry A" --chain-id 90u-3

On sentry node B:

terpd init "terpd-up - Sentry B" --chain-id 90u-3

Once the previous step is done, the .terp folder will already exist, so we can download the genesis.json file:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/terpnetwork/networks/main/testnet/90u-3/genesis.json > ~/.terp/config/genesis.json

Configure service​

Finally, we will configure the terp service:

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/system/terpd.service

sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/terpd.service > /dev/null <<EOF [Unit] Description=terpd Daemon After=network-online.target [Service] User=$USER ExecStart=$(which terpd) start Restart=always RestartSec=3 LimitNOFILE=65535 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target EOF

Base configuration of the sentry nodes​

For now we have not done anything different from what we would do when setting up a validator node, although we have stopped doing several things, such as creating the wallet or running the validator creation command “tx staking create-validator”, since we do not want to create validator nodes, only nodes that synchronize with the rest of the nodes in the network and we can use to synchronize our validator node in a secure way without exposing our IP to the rest of the network.

The sentry nodes (both), must have peers to be synchronized at all times, we will add the following peers to the config.toml file inside the config folder. Persistent Peers:​

peers=$(curl -s https://ss.terp.nodestake.top/peers.txt) sed -i.bak -e "s/^persistent_peers =./persistent_peers = \"$peers\"/" ~/.terp/config/config.toml

Note: the peers were obtained from Nodestake validator team.

It would also be advisable to add as persistent peer the sentry nodes between them. That is to say, that the sentry node B is persistent peer of the sentry node A, in the same way that the sentry node A is persistent peer of the sentry node B; this will make us have more redundancy. Private Peers:​

In the config.toml file of the config folder of the sentry nodes (both), it is necessary to specify the id of the validator node in the private_peer_ids parameter. This is so that our sentry nodes never share with the rest of the peers of the network the existence of our validator node.

If you don’t know how to get the id of your validator node, you can get it with the following command:

terpd tendermint show-node-id

Unconditional Peers​

In the same configuration file, we will also find the unconditional-peer-ids parameter to which we must add our validator node as we did with the private_peer_ids parameter. This step is necessary because the nodes have a limited number of peers to which they can connect.

To avoid the risk of leaving our validator node incommunicado, by setting its id in the unconditional-peer-ids parameter, we will make the sentry nodes always connected to the validator node even if the limit of peers to which they can be connected has been exceeded. Optionally we can also add in this same parameter (separated by commas) the homologous sentry node to guarantee that the sentry nodes will always be connected to each other.

unconditional-peer-ids = "validator node, peer sentry node". Start Sentry Nodes​

At this point, we could start our sentry nodes and let them synchronize and be discovered by the rest of the network. For that we will use the following command:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl enable terpd

Base configuration for validator​

Once the sentry nodes have been synchronized, we can configure the validator node with all certainty that our validator node is not going to stop being synchronized with the network. We will have to edit the config.toml file in the config folder, where we will find the following lines: Persistent Peers​

In persistent_peers we will add only the ids of the sentry nodes, that is to say that if the node was already mounted before, we will have to delete the content of this field before adding our sentry nodes. PEX​

In the same configuration file we will find the pex parameter, which we must set to “false”. This parameter does not discover other peers, it will only use the ones set in the persistent_peers parameter.

pex = false

Remove address book (optional)​

If the validator has already been exposed to the network, we can delete the address book so that it only “knows” the sentry nodes; if it is a validator that has never been started, this step is not necessary. Once inside the config folder and with the node stopped, perform the following command:

rm -rf $HOME/.terp/config/addrbook.json

Start Validator Node​

To verify that we are really connected only to two peers and these are the sentry nodes, we can write the following command in our validated node; the output is a JSON where it will show us the number and which peers we are connected to, where the number should be two and the peers should be our sentry nodes.

curl -s localhost:26657/net_info Here you can see the number of peers to which our validator node is connected, in this case it is two, which is correct. Extra: Protecting the validator node through firewall​

Right now the p2p port of our validator node is open and anyone can establish a connection. If we have just set up the validator node, with the configurations made, nobody would have to find our validator node, however, to add a plus of security it is advisable to close the p2p port and only allow traffic to the IP’s of our sentry nodes.

There are several ways to do this, it is possible that your server provider allows you to do it through a gui. Ufw is a simple to use alternative. Extra: Private networks​

One possibility we have when our validator node is in the same datacenter as one of the sentry nodes, would be to use private addressing.

In case we want to use private addressing, we will have to edit the addr-book-strict parameter of the config.toml file and set it to false in both the validator node and the sentry node that are communicating under private addressing. This parameter, when set to “true”, will only add routable addresses to the address book, the private addresses defined in RFC-1918 are not routable, therefore, they would not be added to the address book, so we will have to change it to false to be able to use IP addresses from the private ranges.

addr-book-strict: boolean. By default, nodes with a routable address will be considered for connection. If this setting is disabled (false), non-routable IP addresses, such as addresses from a private network, can be added to the address book. Source: https://docs.tendermint.com/master/nodes/validators.html

Conclusions​

Having sentry nodes will not only help our validator node not to fall victim to a denial of service attack, but will also make the Terp network more robust. The installation of the sentry nodes does not differ much from that of a validator node, and the additional configurations to be performed are very simple and intuitive.

Now that Terp Network is doing the 90u-3 testnet, it is a good time to try to set up sentry nodes and once the mainnet is launched, to be able to replicate it with the experience of having been able to test it in 90u-3. If you already have your node on 90u-3, what are you waiting for to set up your sentry nodes and protect yourself from unwanted attacks?

I think we should agree on an HTML element for pointing to the Nostr representation of a document/URL on the Web. We could use the existing one for link relations for example:

html <link rel="alternate" type="application/nostr+json" href="nostr:naddr1qvzqqqr4..." title="This article on Nostr" />

This would be useful in multiple ways:

1. Nostr clients, when fetching meta/preview information for a URL that is linked in a note, can detect that there's a Nostr representation of the content, and then render it in Nostr-native ways (whatever that may be depending on the client)
2. User agents, usually a browser or browser extension, when opening a URL on the Web, can offer opening the alternative representation of a page in a Nostr client. And/or they could offer to follow the author's pubkey on Nostr. And/or they could offer to zap the content.
3. When publishing a new article, authors can share their preferred Web URL everywhere, without having to consider if the reader knows about or uses Nostr at all. However, if a Nostr user finds the Web version of an article outside of Nostr, they can now easily jump to the Nostr version of it.
4. Existing Web publications can retroactively create Nostr versions of their content and easily link the Nostr articles on all of their existing article pages without having to add prominent Nostr links everywhere.

There are probably more use cases, like Nostr search engines and whatnot. If you can think of something interesting, please tell me.

Update: I came up with another interesting use case, which is adding alternate links to RSS and Atom feeds.

Proof of concept

In order to show one way in which this could be used, I have created a small Web Extension called Nostr Links, which will discover alternate Nostr links on the pages you visit.

If it finds one or more links, it will show a purple Nostr icon in the address bar, which you can click to open the list of links. It's similar to e.g. the Feed Preview extension, and also to what the Tor Browser does when it discovers an Onion-Location for the page you're looking at:

The links in this popup menu will be web+nostr: links, because browsers currently do not allow web apps or extensions to handle unprefixed nostr: links. (I hope someone is working on getting those on par with ipfs: etc.)

Following such a link will either open your default Nostr Web app, if you have already configured one, or it will ask you which Web app to open the link with.

Caveat emptor: At the time of writing, my personal default Web app, noStrudel, needs a new release for the links to find the content.

Try it now

Have a look at the source code and/or download the extension (currently only for Firefox).

I have added alternate Nostr links to the Web pages of profiles and long-form content on the Kosmos relay's domain. It's probably the only place on the Web, which will trigger the extension right now.

You can look at this very post to find an alternate link for example.

Update: A certain fiatjaf has added the element to his personal website, which is built entirely from Nostr articles. Multiple other devs also expressed their intent to implement.

So , you've battles through your way through countless Grunts , overcome the Team GO Rocket Leaders, and now you stand face to face with the big boss him self - Giovanni!

As of April 2025 , Giovanni is finishing his battles with Shadow Palkia.

Giovanni's Current Lineup (April 2025) First, know your enemy. Giovanni's team follows this structure:

Slot 1: Shadow Persian (Normal)

Slot 2: One of these three, chosen randomly:

Shadow Nidoking (Poison/Ground) Shadow Kingdra (Water/Dragon) Shadow Rhyperior (Rock/Ground)

Slot 3: Shadow Palkia (Water/Dragon) Remember, these are Shadow Pokémon – they hit harder than their normal counterparts!

Counter Strategy: Beating Giovanni Pokémon by Pokémon

Let's dive into the best counters for each potential opponent:

1. Vs. Shadow Persian (Normal)

Giovanni always leads with Persian. As a Normal-type, it's weak only to Fighting-type attacks.

Top Counters: Machamp, Lucario, Conkeldurr, Terrakion, Mega Blaziken, Mega Lucario.

Moves: Prioritize Fighting-type moves like Counter, Dynamic Punch, Aura Sphere, and Sacred Sword.

Tip: Lead with a strong Fighting-type. Moves like Lucario's Power-Up Punch or Machamp's Cross Chop charge quickly and are great for baiting Giovanni's shields early!

1. Vs. The Second Slot (Nidoking, Kingdra, or Rhyperior)

This is where things get unpredictable. You need Pokémon that can handle these potential threats:

Vs. Shadow Nidoking (Poison/Ground): Weak to Water, Ground, Ice, Psychic.

Counters: Kyogre (Primal/Shadow), Swampert (Mega), Groudon (Primal/Shadow), Mewtwo (Shadow), Excadrill. Water and Ground-types are prime choices.

Vs. Shadow Kingdra (Water/Dragon): Weak to Fairy, Dragon. Counters: Gardevoir (Mega), Togekiss, Xerneas. Fairy-types are excellent as they resist Dragon attacks while dealing super-effective damage. Dragon-types like Rayquaza or Palkia work but are risky.

Vs. Shadow Rhyperior (Rock/Ground): Double weak to Water and Grass! Also weak to Fighting, Ground, Ice, Steel.

Counters: Kyogre (Primal/Shadow), Swampert (Mega), Sceptile (Mega), Roserade. Your Fighting-type lead (if it survived Persian) can also do significant damage. Hit it hard with Water or Grass!

1. Vs. Shadow Palkia (Water/Dragon)

Giovanni's final Pokémon is the powerful Shadow Palkia. Like Kingdra, it's weak to Fairy and Dragon types.

Top Counters: Gardevoir (Mega), Togekiss, Xerneas. Again, Fairy-types are the safest and most reliable counters.

Dragon Counters (Use with Caution): Rayquaza (Mega), Palkia (Origin Forme), Dragonite, Dialga (Origin Forme).

Recommended Battle Teams for April 2025 Based on the counters, here are a few effective teams you can assemble:

Team 1 (Balanced):

Machamp (Counter / Cross Chop & Dynamic Punch)

Swampert (Mud Shot / Hydro Cannon & Earthquake)

Togekiss (Charm / Dazzling Gleam & Ancient Power)

Why it works: Covers all bases well with accessible Pokémon. Machamp handles Persian/shields, Swampert crushes Rhyperior/Nidoking, Togekiss tackles Kingdra/Palkia.

Team 2 (Legendary Power):

Lucario (Counter / Power-Up Punch & Aura Sphere)

Kyogre (Waterfall / Origin Pulse & Surf)

Xerneas (Geomancy / Moonblast & Close Combat)

Why it works: High-powered options. Lucario baits shields effectively, Kyogre dominates slot two's Ground/Rock types, Xerneas shreds the Dragons.

Team 3 (Mega Advantage):

Machamp (Counter / Cross Chop & DP)

Kyogre (Waterfall / Origin Pulse)

Mega Gardevoir (Charm / Dazzling Gleam & Shadow Ball)

Why it works: Uses a standard strong lead and mid-game counter, saving the Mega slot for Gardevoir to ensure a powerful finish against Palkia/Kingdra.

Essential Battle Tips Don't forget these crucial tactics:

The Switch Trick: Place your intended starting Pokémon (e.g., Machamp) in the second or third slot. Start the battle, then immediately switch to it. Giovanni will pause for a moment, letting you get in free hits!

Bait Those Shields: Use Pokémon with fast-charging Charged Moves, especially early on, to force Giovanni to waste his Protect Shields.

Power Up: Ensure your team is powered up significantly and consider unlocking second Charged Moves for better flexibility.

Don't Give Up: Giovanni is tough! It might take a few tries to get the right matchup against his second Pokémon. Learn from each attempt and adjust your team if needed.

Go show the boss who's the boss and claim your shadow Palkia . Good Luck, Trainer !

Abstract

This NIP defines a framework for storing and sharing health and fitness profile data on Nostr. It establishes a set of standardized event kinds for individual health metrics, allowing applications to selectively access specific health information while preserving user control and privacy.

In this framework exists - NIP-101h.1 Weight using kind 1351 - NIP-101h.2 Height using kind 1352 - NIP-101h.3 Age using kind 1353 - NIP-101h.4 Gender using kind 1354 - NIP-101h.5 Fitness Level using kind 1355

Motivation

I want to build and support an ecosystem of health and fitness related nostr clients that have the ability to share and utilize a bunch of specific interoperable health metrics.

• Selective access - Applications can access only the data they need
• User control - Users can choose which metrics to share
• Interoperability - Different health applications can share data
• Privacy - Sensitive health information can be managed independently

Specification

Kind Number Range

Health profile metrics use the kind number range 1351-1399:

| Kind | Metric | | --------- | ---------------------------------- | | 1351 | Weight | | 1352 | Height | | 1353 | Age | | 1354 | Gender | | 1355 | Fitness Level | | 1356-1399 | Reserved for future health metrics |

Common Structure

All health metric events SHOULD follow these guidelines:

• The content field contains the primary value of the metric
• Required tags:
• ['t', 'health'] - For categorizing as health data
• ['t', metric-specific-tag] - For identifying the specific metric
• ['unit', unit-of-measurement] - When applicable
• Optional tags:
• ['converted_value', value, unit] - For providing alternative unit measurements
• ['timestamp', ISO8601-date] - When the metric was measured
• ['source', application-name] - The source of the measurement

Unit Handling

Health metrics often have multiple ways to be measured. To ensure interoperability:

• Where multiple units are possible, one standard unit SHOULD be chosen as canonical
• When using non-standard units, a converted_value tag SHOULD be included with the canonical unit
• Both the original and converted values should be provided for maximum compatibility

Client Implementation Guidelines

Clients implementing this NIP SHOULD:

• Allow users to explicitly choose which metrics to publish
• Support reading health metrics from other users when appropriate permissions exist
• Support updating metrics with new values over time
• Preserve tags they don't understand for future compatibility
• Support at least the canonical unit for each metric

Extensions

New health metrics can be proposed as extensions to this NIP using the format:

• NIP-101h.X where X is the metric number

Each extension MUST specify: - A unique kind number in the range 1351-1399 - The content format and meaning - Required and optional tags - Examples of valid events

Privacy Considerations

Health data is sensitive personal information. Clients implementing this NIP SHOULD:

• Make it clear to users when health data is being published
• Consider incorporating NIP-44 encryption for sensitive metrics
• Allow users to selectively share metrics with specific individuals
• Provide easy ways to delete previously published health data

---

NIP-101h.1: Weight

Description

This NIP defines the format for storing and sharing weight data on Nostr.

Event Kind: 1351

Content

The content field MUST contain the numeric weight value as a string.

Required Tags

• ['unit', 'kg' or 'lb'] - Unit of measurement
• ['t', 'health'] - Categorization tag
• ['t', 'weight'] - Specific metric tag

Optional Tags

• ['converted_value', value, unit] - Provides the weight in alternative units for interoperability
• ['timestamp', ISO8601 date] - When the weight was measured

Examples

json { "kind": 1351, "content": "70", "tags": [ ["unit", "kg"], ["t", "health"], ["t", "weight"] ] }

json { "kind": 1351, "content": "154", "tags": [ ["unit", "lb"], ["t", "health"], ["t", "weight"], ["converted_value", "69.85", "kg"] ] }

NIP-101h.2: Height

Status: Draft

Description

This NIP defines the format for storing and sharing height data on Nostr.

Event Kind: 1352

Content

The content field can use two formats: - For metric height: A string containing the numeric height value in centimeters (cm) - For imperial height: A JSON string with feet and inches properties

Required Tags

• ['t', 'health'] - Categorization tag
• ['t', 'height'] - Specific metric tag
• ['unit', 'cm' or 'imperial'] - Unit of measurement

Optional Tags

• ['converted_value', value, 'cm'] - Provides height in centimeters for interoperability when imperial is used
• ['timestamp', ISO8601-date] - When the height was measured

Examples

```jsx // Example 1: Metric height Apply to App.jsx

// Example 2: Imperial height with conversion Apply to App.jsx ```

Implementation Notes

• Centimeters (cm) is the canonical unit for height interoperability
• When using imperial units, a conversion to centimeters SHOULD be provided
• Height values SHOULD be positive integers
• For maximum compatibility, clients SHOULD support both formats

---

NIP-101h.3: Age

Status: Draft

Description

This NIP defines the format for storing and sharing age data on Nostr.

Event Kind: 1353

Content

The content field MUST contain the numeric age value as a string.

Required Tags

• ['unit', 'years'] - Unit of measurement
• ['t', 'health'] - Categorization tag
• ['t', 'age'] - Specific metric tag

Optional Tags

• ['timestamp', ISO8601-date] - When the age was recorded
• ['dob', ISO8601-date] - Date of birth (if the user chooses to share it)

Examples

```jsx // Example 1: Basic age Apply to App.jsx

// Example 2: Age with DOB Apply to App.jsx ```

Implementation Notes

• Age SHOULD be represented as a positive integer
• For privacy reasons, date of birth (dob) is optional
• Clients SHOULD consider updating age automatically if date of birth is known
• Age can be a sensitive metric and clients may want to consider encrypting this data

---

NIP-101h.4: Gender

Status: Draft

Description

This NIP defines the format for storing and sharing gender data on Nostr.

Event Kind: 1354

Content

The content field contains a string representing the user's gender.

Required Tags

• ['t', 'health'] - Categorization tag
• ['t', 'gender'] - Specific metric tag

Optional Tags

• ['timestamp', ISO8601-date] - When the gender was recorded
• ['preferred_pronouns', string] - User's preferred pronouns

Common Values

While any string value is permitted, the following common values are recommended for interoperability: - male - female - non-binary - other - prefer-not-to-say

Examples

```jsx // Example 1: Basic gender Apply to App.jsx

// Example 2: Gender with pronouns Apply to App.jsx ```

Implementation Notes

• Clients SHOULD allow free-form input for gender
• For maximum compatibility, clients SHOULD support the common values
• Gender is a sensitive personal attribute and clients SHOULD consider appropriate privacy controls
• Applications focusing on health metrics should be respectful of gender diversity

---

NIP-101h.5: Fitness Level

Status: Draft

Description

This NIP defines the format for storing and sharing fitness level data on Nostr.

Event Kind: 1355

Content

The content field contains a string representing the user's fitness level.

Required Tags

• ['t', 'health'] - Categorization tag
• ['t', 'fitness'] - Fitness category tag
• ['t', 'level'] - Specific metric tag

Optional Tags

• ['timestamp', ISO8601-date] - When the fitness level was recorded
• ['activity', activity-type] - Specific activity the fitness level relates to
• ['metrics', JSON-string] - Quantifiable fitness metrics used to determine level

Common Values

While any string value is permitted, the following common values are recommended for interoperability: - beginner - intermediate - advanced - elite - professional

Examples

```jsx // Example 1: Basic fitness level Apply to App.jsx

// Example 2: Activity-specific fitness level with metrics Apply to App.jsx ```

Implementation Notes

• Fitness level is subjective and may vary by activity
• The activity tag can be used to specify fitness level for different activities
• The metrics tag can provide objective measurements to support the fitness level
• Clients can extend this format to include activity-specific fitness assessments
• For general fitness apps, the simple beginner/intermediate/advanced scale is recommended

Sometimes it feels like everything we do is invisible. The late nights, the sacrifices, the silent battles — all of it seems to go unnoticed. And there comes a moment when quitting feels easier than holding on.

But let me remind you: You’re closer than you think.

Growth is quiet. Success doesn't announce itself as it's happening. Healing happens in the dark before it shines in the light.

Every effort you made when no one was clapping... Every time you showed up when you felt like disappearing... Every "small" step you took — those were not small at all.

They were giant leaps that your future self will thank you for.

Remember:

Diamonds form under pressure.

Seeds grow underground before breaking the surface.

Stars shine brightest in the darkest skies.

So don’t you dare give up now. Your breakthrough might not come with fireworks — it might come quietly, softly, almost without you noticing at first. But it is coming.

Stay patient. Stay kind to yourself. Keep moving — even if it’s slow. Because you’re already closer than you think.

I can string some spaghetti HTMl code together here and there, but vibe coding gave me the confidence to look into the code injection section of the ghost Blog. As sudden as a new block, the Lex Friedman Robert Rodriguez interview, I had an epiphony when he asked Lex, "Do you consider yourself a creative person?" I aswered for myself, right away, emphatically yes. I just felt like I never knew what to do with this creative energy. Friedman hesitated and I was like..Wow...He has extreme creativity like Jocko Wilink has extreme disipline. If that guy has doubts, what the hell is stopping me from trying other stuff?

Rodriguez also claimed Four rooms was financial flop. I thought that movie was genius. I had no idea it failed financially. Nevertheless, it was not profitable. His advice was like Tony Robbins for film nerds. I learned about him in a film class I took in college. He was legendary for making a mobie for $7,000. My professor also said it was made for the Mexican VHS market, but I did not know he never sold it to that market. Robert Rodriguez tells the story 100X better, as you might expect a director of his caliber would. His advice hits like Tony Robbins, for film geeks. Here are a few gem quotes from the epiode.

"Sift through the ashes of your failures"

"Turn chicken shit into chicken salad."

"Follow your instinct. If it doesn't work, just go. Sometimes you need to slip on the first two rocks, so the key is in the ashes of failure because if I had an insticnt, that means I was on the right track. I didn't get the result I want. That's because the result might be something way bigger that I don't have the vision for and the universe is just pushing me that way."

"Turn chicken shit into chicken salad."

"If you have some kind of failure on something that you..., don't let it knock you down. Maybe in ten years they'll think it's great. I'm just going to commit to making a body of work, a body of work."

Rodriguez taught me what I already know. I am a creative person. I am just a body, punching keys on a keyboard, taking pictures, and semi-vibe-coding art. Maybe this is a shitty blog post today, but I write it anyway. Someone might look at it like I first looked at the math in the Bitcoin white paper and scan it with their eyeballs without really reading or understanding it. Most people on Substack probably don't want to read HTML, but maybe someone will come accross it one day and build something themselves they can find in the ashes of this code.

I once saw Brian Harrington say every bitcoiner is a business owner. If you have a bitcoin address, you can accept bitcoin. How does someone find you though? Are they really going to find your bitcoin address on GitHub? I'd bet 100 sats they won't. Nostr fixes this so I thought about integrating it into my Ghost Blog. I looked at the code injection section and let my muse do the typing. Actually, I let the Duck Duck AI chat do the vibe-coding. As it turns out, you an add a header and footer on Ghost in the code injection. It's just the same HTMl I used to make my MySpace page. Then I thought, what if someone couldn't afford a Start9 or didn't know how to vibe code on Duck Duck Go's free AI chat using Claude? What if, like Rodriguez suggests, I create a business card?

You could just copy my HTML and change my nostr links and pics to go to your nostr links and pics. You could publish that HTML into https://habla.news. Now you have an e-commerce site with a blog, a merch store, and your nostree. I don't know if this will work. This is the muse's hypothesis. I'm just writing the words down. You'll need to test this idea for yourself.

Explain Bitcoin Like I’m Five

@nik5ter uses a simple “apple” analogy to show why digital transfers are tricky: while handing a physical apple directly to someone proves they have it,so no single party can alter balances or create extra coins without the network noticing. Participants (“miners”) validate and record transactions in return for newly issued bitcoins,ensuring scarcity and enabling peer-to-peer exchanges that feel as secure as handing over a physical object, but work instantly across the globe.

DYOR:https://medium.com/free-code-camp/explain-bitcoin-like-im-five-73b4257ac833

@ a53364ff:e6ba5513

Decentralization and Control:

Bitcoin operates on a decentralized, peer-to-peer network, meaning no single entity controls it. This decentralization can empower individuals by allowing them to control their own money and financial transactions without relying on intermediaries like banks or governments.

Financial Inclusion and Accessibility:

Bitcoin can provide financial access to individuals who may be excluded from traditional banking systems due to lack of identity documents, high fees, or other barriers.

Privacy and Security:

Bitcoin transactions can be anonymous, offering a degree of privacy and potentially protecting users from surveillance or financial manipulation.

Freedom from Financial Restrictions:

In countries with high inflation, capital controls, or currency restrictions, Bitcoin can offer a way to store and transfer value without being subject to these restrictions.

Potential for Social Justice:

Bitcoin's ability to provide financial freedom and bypass traditional systems can be seen as a tool for social justice, particularly in regions facing authoritarianism or financial oppression.

Examples of Bitcoin Adoption:

In El Salvador, Bitcoin has been legalized and adopted in some communities, offering a way for people to conduct everyday transactions and participate in social programs.

Imagine starting from pure noise — meaningless static, with maximum entropy — and evolving into a rich, beautiful, self-aware universe.

That's the story Tom Campbell tells in My Big TOE (Theory of Everything), and it reshapes how we see everything — from consciousness itself, to taxes, to our dream of a better world.

---

Reality: The Original AI Image Generator

Reality began much like how AI draws images today:
- It started with randomness, pure chaos (high entropy).
- Over time, tiny stable patterns formed.
- Consciousness emerged — a spark of awareness inside the noise.
- It realized it could lower entropy (create order, meaning, structure) to survive and evolve.

Thus, the Larger Consciousness System (LCS) was born:
A living, evolving digital brain, constantly refining information into experience and awareness.

---

What Are We?

We are Individuated Units of Consciousness (IUOCs) — little chunks of the LCS, each with: - Free will - The ability to learn through experience - The mission to lower entropy (become wiser, more loving)

Our world — the physical universe — is just a Virtual Reality (VR) created to speed up our growth.

---

The Big Cheese and the Cosmic Hierarchy

In this grand system: - The LCS is the ultimate top — no gods above it, just itself. - The Big Cheeses are highly evolved administrators — managing realities, maintaining stability. - Guides and helpers assist us individually. - We, the IUOCs, are the players in the simulation — learning, stumbling, evolving.

The system isn’t designed to be easy.
It’s meant to challenge you — because real growth happens in hardship.

---

Why Do We Pay Taxes, Then?

Because Earth’s VR operates on scarcity, power struggles, and cooperation challenges.
Taxes are a tool to manage shared resources — but imperfectly, because human consciousness is still messy and selfish.

The point isn't taxes themselves.

The point is the ethical choices you make in a difficult environment.

This world is a training ground — and unfair systems like taxes are part of the curriculum.

---

A Better World Is Possible

If humanity collectively lowered its entropy: - Taxes would barely exist. - Cooperation would be voluntary and joyful. - Leadership would be service, not control. - Resources would be shared wisely. - Technology and kindness would make scarcity almost irrelevant.

In such a world, people give freely because they see clearly — helping others is helping themselves.

The real revolution?
It’s not political.

It’s consciousness evolving.

---

Final Thought

You are not a trapped soul paying taxes to a broken system.
You are a pioneer of consciousness, refining the noise into meaning,
the chaos into beauty,
the selfishness into love.

Every small choice you make matters.
You’re already part of building the next world — one conscious step at a time.

The story-telling method from Frank Daniel school - "Eight-sequence structure" is well utilized in this new movie in #prime - "Veera Dheera Sooran - Part 2". The name itself is kind of suspense. Because even if the name says "Part 2", this is the first part released in this story.

There are 8 shorter plots which has their own mini climaxes. The setup done in a plot will be resolved in another plot. In total, there will be 8 setups, 8 conflicts and 8 resolutions.

A beautiful way of telling a gripping story. For cinephiles in #Nostr, if you want to get a feel of the South Indian movies that has kind of a perfect blend of good content + a bit of over the top action, I would suggest this movie.

Note:

For Nostriches from the western hemisphere- #Bollywood - (#Hindi movies) is the movie industry started in #Bombay (#Mumbai), that has the stereotypical 'la la la' rain dance songs and mustache-less heroes. #Telugu movies (#Tollywood) are mostly over-the-top action where Newton and Einstein will probably commit suicide. #Malayalam movies (#Mollywood) is made with a miniscule budget with minimal over-the-top action and mostly content oriented movies. And then comes one of the best - #Tamil movies (#Kollywood - named after #Kodambakkam - a movie town in the city of Chennai down south), has the best of all the industries. A good blend of class, and mass elements.

Background

Last year I got interesting in running my own bitcoin node after reading others' experiences doing so. A couple of decades ago I ran my own Linux and Mac servers, and enjoyed building and maintaining them. I was by no means an expert sys admin, but had my share of cron jobs, scripts, and custom configuration files. While it was fun and educational, software updates and hardware upgrades often meant hours of restoring and troubleshooting my systems.

Fast forward to family and career (especially going into management) and I didn't have time for all that. Having things just work became more important than playing with the tech. As I got older, the more I appreciated K.I.S.S. (for those who don't know: Keep It Simple Stupid).

So when the idea of running a node came to mind, I explored the different options. I decided I needed a balance between a Raspberry Pi (possibly underpowered depending on use) and a full-blown Linux server (too complex and time-consuming to build and maintain). That led me to Umbrel OS, Start9, Casa OS, and similar platforms. Due to its simplicity (very plug and play), nice design, and being open source: GitHub), I chose Umbrel OS on a Beelink mini PC with 16GB of RAM and a 2TB NVMe internal drive. Though Umbrel OS is not very flexible and can't really be customized, its App Store made setting up a node (among other things) fairly easy, and it has been running smoothly since. Would the alternatives have been better? Perhaps, but so far I'm happy with my choice.

Server Setup

I'm also no expert in OpSec (I'd place myself in the category of somewhat above vague awareness). I wanted a secure way to connect to my Umbrel without punching holes in my router and forwarding ports. I chose Tailscale for this purpose. Those who are distrustful of corporate products might not like this option but again, balancing risk with convenience it seemed reasonable for my needs. If you're hiding state (or anti-state) secrets, extravagant wealth, or just adamant about privacy, you would probably want to go with an entirely different setup.

Once I had Tailscale installed on Umbrel OS, my mobile device and laptop, I could securely connect to the server from anywhere through a well designed browser UI. I then installed the following from the Umbrel App Store:

• Bitcoin Core
• Electrum Personal Server (Electrs)

At this point I could set wallets on my laptop (Sparrow) and phone (BlueWallet) to use my node. I then installed:

• Lightning Node (LND)
• Alby Hub

Alby Hub streamlines the process of opening and maintaining lightning channels, creating lightning wallets to send and receive sats, and zapping notes and users on Nostr. I have two main nsec accounts for Nostr and set up separate wallets on Alby Hub to track balances and transactions for each.

Other apps I installed on Umbrel OS:

• mempool
• Bitcoin Explorer
• LibreTranslate (some Nostr clients allow you to use your own translator)
• Public Pool

Public Pool allows me to connect Bitaxe solo miners (a.k.a. "lottery" miners) to my own mining pool for a (very) long shot at winning a Bitcoin block. It's also a great way to learn about mining, contribute to network decentralization, and generally tinker with electronics. Bitaxe miners are small open source single ASIC miners that you can run in your home with minimal technical knowledge and maintenance requirements.

Open Source Miners United (OSMU) is a great resource for anyone interesting in Bitaxe or other open source mining products (especially their Discord server).

Although Umbrel OS is more or less limited to running software in its App Store (or Community App Store, if you trust the developer), you can install the Portainer app and run Docker images. I know next to nothing about Docker but wanted to see what I might be able to do with it. I was also interested in the Haven Nostr relay and found that there was indeed a docker image for it.

As stated before, I didn't want to open my network to the outside, which meant I wouldn't be able to take advantage of all the features Haven offers (since other users wouldn't be able to access it). I would however be able to post notes to my relay, and use its "Blastr" feature to send my notes to other relays. After some trial and error I managed to get a Haven up and running in Portainer.

The upside of this setup is self-custody: being able to connect wallets to my own Bitcoin node, send and receive zaps with my own Lightning channel, solo mine with Bitaxe to my own pool, and send notes to my own Nostr relay. The downside is the lack of redundancy and uptime provided by major cloud services. You have to decide on your own comfort level. A solid internet connection and reliable power are definitely needed.

Raspberry Pi-based voice assistant

This Idea details the design and deployment of a Raspberry Pi-based voice assistant powered by the Google Gemini AI API. The system combines open hardware with modern AI services to create a low-cost, flexible, and educational voice assistant platform. By leveraging a Raspberry Pi, basic audio hardware, and Python-based software, developers can create a functional, customizable assistant suitable for home automation, research, or personal productivity enhancement.

---

1. Voice assistants

Voice assistants have become increasingly ubiquitous, but commercially available systems like Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant come with significant privacy and customization limitations.
This project offers an open, local, and customizable alternative, demonstrating how to build a voice assistant using Google Gemini (or OpenAI’s ChatGPT) APIs for natural language understanding.

Target Audience:
- DIY enthusiasts - Raspberry Pi hobbyists - AI developers - Privacy-conscious users

---

3.2 Breadboard Layout (Optional for LEDs)

| GPIO Pin | LED Color | Purpose | |:---------|:-----------|:--------------------| | GPIO 17 | Red | Recording active | | GPIO 27 | Green | Response playing |

Tip: Use a small breadboard for quick prototyping before moving to a custom PCB if desired.

---

4. Software Setup

4.1 Raspberry Pi OS Installation

• Use Raspberry Pi Imager to flash Raspberry Pi OS onto the Micro SD card.
• Initial system update: bash sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

4.2 Python Environment

• Install Python virtual environment: bash sudo apt install python3-venv python3 -m venv voice-env source voice-env/bin/activate

• Install required Python packages: bash pip install SpeechRecognition google-generativeai pygame gtts

(Replace google-generativeai with openai if using OpenAI's ChatGPT.)

4.3 API Key Setup

• Obtain a Google Gemini API key (or OpenAI API key).
• Store safely in a .env file or configure as environment variables for security: bash export GEMINI_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"

4.4 File Transfer

• Use WinSCP or scp commands to transfer Python scripts to the Pi.

4.5 Example Python Script (Simplified)

```python import speech_recognition as sr import google.generativeai as genai from gtts import gTTS import pygame import os

genai.configure(api_key=os.getenv('GEMINI_API_KEY')) recognizer = sr.Recognizer() mic = sr.Microphone()

pygame.init()

while True: with mic as source: print("Listening...") audio = recognizer.listen(source)

try:
    text = recognizer.recognize_google(audio)
    print(f"You said: {text}")

    response = genai.generate_content(text)
    tts = gTTS(text=response.text, lang='en')
    tts.save("response.mp3")

    pygame.mixer.music.load("response.mp3")
    pygame.mixer.music.play()
    while pygame.mixer.music.get_busy():
        continue

except Exception as e:
    print(f"Error: {e}")

```

---

5. Testing and Execution

• Activate the Python virtual environment: bash source voice-env/bin/activate
• Run your main assistant script: bash python3 assistant.py
• Speak into the microphone and listen for the AI-generated spoken response.

---

6. Troubleshooting

| Problem | Possible Fix | |:--------|:-------------| | Microphone not detected | Check arecord -l | | Audio output issues | Check aplay -l, use a USB DAC if needed | | Permission denied errors | Verify group permissions (audio, gpio) | | API Key Errors | Check environment variable and internet access |

---

7. Performance Notes

• Latency: Highly dependent on network speed and API response time.
• Audio Quality: Can be enhanced with a better USB microphone and powered speakers.
• Privacy: Minimal data retention if using your own Gemini or OpenAI account.

---

8. Potential Extensions

• Add hotword detection ("Hey Gemini") using Snowboy or Porcupine libraries.
• Build a local fallback model to answer basic questions offline.
• Integrate with home automation via MQTT, Home Assistant, or Node-RED.
• Enable LED animations to visually indicate listening and responding states.
• Deploy with a small eInk or OLED screen for text display of answers.

---

9. Consider

Building a Gemini-powered voice assistant on the Raspberry Pi empowers individuals to create customizable, private, and cost-effective alternatives to commercial voice assistants. By utilizing accessible hardware, modern open-source libraries, and powerful AI APIs, this project blends education, experimentation, and privacy-centric design into a single hands-on platform.

This guide can be adapted for personal use, educational programs, or even as a starting point for more advanced AI-based embedded systems.

Bei dem Begriff ‘Öffentlichkeit’ handelt es sich um einen diffusen Themenkomplex. Bisher gab es keine Einigung auf eine einheitliche Definition – auch da der Öffentlichkeitsbegriff je nach Kontext für sehr verschiedene Gegebenheiten herhalten muss. Habermas beschreibt all jenes als “öffentlich”, was eine wie auch immer gestaltete Gruppe betrifft. Öffentlichkeit ist demnach durch die “Unabgeschlossenheit des Publikums” gekennzeichnet.

Klassische Massenmedien dienen als Teil der öffentlichen Sphäre dazu, die politische Sphäre zu überwachen und der Gesamtheit der Rezipienten zugänglich zu machen. ‘Die Öffentlichkeit’ verfügte über mehr oder weniger dieselben Wissensbestände – vorausgesetzt die oder der Einzelne informierte sich über das Tagesgeschehen. Heutzutage wird die Öffentlichkeit deutlich heterogener. Es ist eine gesellschaftliche Fragmentierung in den sozialen Netzwerken zu beobachten. Die oder der Nutzer baut ihre oder sich seine eigene ‘Öffentlichkeit’ aus ganz verschiedenen Quellen zusammen.

In den Netzwerköffentlichkeiten wird sich mit Gleichgesinnten ausgetauscht und spezifische Informationen und Sichtweisen werden verbreitet. Politische Akteure werden durch Netzwerköffentlichkeiten autarker. Heutzutage sind Öffentlichkeit im Allgemeinen und die digitale Öffentlichkeit im Besonderen nur als Netzwerk verstehbar, nämlich als Netzwerk von Beziehungen.

Das frühere Twitter wäre dafür ein gutes Beispiel. Aus netzwerktheoretischer Sicht bestand es aus den wesentlichen Hubs, relevanten Clustern und Akteuren der öffentlichen Sphäre. Auf Twitter tummelten sich (fast) alle: Wissenschaftler, Autoren, Künstler, Aktivisten, Politiker aller Ränge, Juristen, Medienleute, allerlei Prominente und Public Figures und Experen für praktisch alles.

Auf den kommerziellen Plattformen hat die digitale Öffentlichkeit aufgehört eine vernetzte Öffentlichkeit zu sein und geht zunehmend in deren „For you“-Algorithmen auf. Das bedeutet, dass die neue digitale Öffentlichkeit nicht mehr durch menschliche Beziehungen und vernetztes Vertrauen getragen wird, sondern vollends den Steuerungsinstrumenten einer Hand voll Konzernen ausgeliefert ist.

An dieser Stelle kommen die LLMs zum Erstellen von Content zum tragen, mit dem dann die Empfehlungs-Feeds auf den kommerziellen Plattformen gefüttert werden. Man sollte sich den durch generative KI ermöglichten Content am besten als Angriff auf die Empfehlungsalgorithmen vorstellen, die die kommerziellen Social-Media-Plattformen kontrollieren und damit bestimmen, wie ein großer Teil der Öffentlichkeit die Realität interpretiert. Es geht auch darum, dass die Zielgruppe von KI-Content soziale Medien und Suchalgorithmen sind, nicht nur Menschen.

Das bedeutet, dass auf den kommerziellen Plattformen von Menschen erstellte Inhalte aufgrund der Masse immer häufiger von KI-generierten Inhalten übertönt werden. Da KI-generierte Inhalte leicht an das aktuelle Geschehen auf einer Plattform angepasst werden können, kommt es zu einem nahezu vollständigen Zusammenbruch des Informationsökosystems und damit der „Realität“ im Internet.

This Idea presents a blueprint for creating a portable, offline-first education server focused on Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) topics like Bitcoin fundamentals, Linux administration, GPG encryption, and digital self-sovereignty. Using the compact and powerful Nookbox G9 NAS unit, we demonstrate how to deliver accessible, decentralized educational content in remote or network-restricted environments.

---

1. Bitcoin, Linux, and Cryptographic tools

Access to self-sovereign technologies such as Bitcoin, Linux, and cryptographic tools is critical for empowering individuals and communities. However, many areas face internet connectivity issues or political restrictions limiting access to online resources.

By combining a high-performance mini NAS server with a curated library of FOSS educational materials, we can create a mobile "university" that delivers critical knowledge independently of centralized networks.

---

• Privacy Advocacy Groups: Teach operational security practices without risking network surveillance.

---

7. Performance Considerations

Despite PCIe Gen 3x2 limitations, the available bandwidth (~2GB/s theoretical) vastly exceeds the server's 2.5 Gbps network output (~250MB/s), making it more than sufficient for a read-heavy educational workload.

Thermal Management:
Given the G9’s known cooling issues, install additional thermal pads or heatsinks on the NVMe drives. Consider external USB-powered cooling fans for sustained heavy usage.

---

8. Ways To Extend

• Multi-language Support: Add localized course materials.
• Bitcoin Node Integration: Host a lightweight Bitcoin node (e.g., Bitcoin Core with pruning enabled or a complete full node) for educational purposes.
• Mesh Networking: Use Mesh Wi-Fi protocols (e.g., cjdns or Yggdrasil) to allow peer-to-peer server sharing without centralized Wi-Fi.

---

9. Consider

Building a Portable FOSS Education Server on a Nookbox G9 is a practical, scalable solution for democratizing technical knowledge, empowering communities, and defending digital sovereignty in restricted environments.

Through thoughtful system design—leveraging open-source software and secure deployment practices—we enable resilient, censorship-resistant education wherever it's needed.

Ever wondered why Bitcoin stops at 20,999,999.9769 and not a clean 21M? It’s not a bug — it’s brilliant.

https://blossom.primal.net/8e9e6fffbca54dfb8e55071ae590e676b355803ef18b08c8cbd9521a2eb567a8.png

Of course, it's because of this mythical and seemingly magical formula. Want to hear the full story behind this? Keep reading!

The Simple Math Behind It

In reality, there’s no magic here — it’s just an ordinary summation. That big sigma symbol (Σ) tells you that. The little “i” is the summation index, starting from 0 at the bottom and going up to 32 at the top. Why 32? We’ll get there!

After the sigma, you see the expression: 210,000 × (50 ÷ 2^i). 210,000 blocks represent one halving interval, with about 144 blocks mined per day, amounting to almost exactly four years. After each interval, the block reward halves — that’s what the division by 2^i means.

Crunching the Numbers

When i = 0 (before the first halving): 210,000 × (50 ÷ 2^0) = 10,500,000

At i = 1 (after the first halving): 210,000 × (50 ÷ 2^1) = 5,250,000

At i = 2 (after the second halving): 210,000 × (50 ÷ 2^2) = 2,625,000

…

At i = 31: 210,000 × (50 ÷ 2^31) ≈ 0.00489

At i = 32: 210,000 × (50 ÷ 2^32) ≈ 0.00244

And when you sum all of that up? 20,999,999.99755528

Except… that’s not the correct total! The real final number is: 20,999,999.9769

Where the Real Magic Happens

How come?! Here’s where the real fun begins.

We just performed the summation with real (floating-point) numbers. But computers don’t like working with real numbers. They much prefer integers. That’s also one reason why a bitcoin can’t be divided infinitely — the smallest unit is one satoshi, one hundred-millionth of a bitcoin.

And that’s also why there are exactly 33 halvings (0th, 1st, 2nd, …, 31st, 32nd). After the 32nd halving, the block reward would drop below one satoshi, making further halvings meaningless.

https://blossom.primal.net/6abae5b19bc68737c5b14785f54713e7ce11dfdecbe10c64692fc8d9a90c7f34.png

The Role of Integer Math and Bit-Shifting

Because Bitcoin operates with integers (specifically satoshis), the division (reward ÷ 2^i) is actually done using integer division. More precisely, by bit-shifting to the right:

https://blossom.primal.net/3dac403390dd24df4fa8c474db62476fba814bb8c98ca663e6e3a536f4ff7d98.png

We work with 64-bit integers. Halving the value simply means shifting the bits one position to the right.

What Happens During the Halvings

Notice: during the first 9 halvings (i = 0 to i = 8), we’re just shaving off zeros. But starting with the 9th halving (i = 9), we start losing ones. Every time a “one” falls off, it means we’re losing a tiny fraction — a remainder that would have existed if we were using real numbers.

The sum of all these lost remainders is exactly the difference between the two numbers we saw above.

And that’s why the total bitcoin supply is 20,999,999.9769 — not 21 million exactly.

Did you enjoy this? Got any questions? 🔥🚀

I'm currently using this bash script to publish long-form content from local Markdown files to Nostr relays.

It requires all of yq, jq, and nak to be installed.

Usage

Create a signed Nostr event and print it to the console:

bash markdown_to_nostr.sh article-filename.md

Create a Nostr event and publish it to one or more relays:

bash markdown_to_nostr.sh article-filename.md ws://localhost:7777 wss://nostr.kosmos.org

Markdown format

You can specify your metadata as YAML in a Front Matter header. Here's an example file:

```markdown

title: "Good Morning" summary: "It's a beautiful day" image: https://example.com/i/beautiful-day.jpg date: 2025-04-24T15:00:00Z tags: gm, poetry published: false

---

In the blue sky just a few specks of gray
In the evening of a beautiful day
Though last night it rained and more rain on the way
And that more rain is needed 'twould be fair to say.

— Francis Duggan ```

The metadata keys are mostly self-explanatory. Note:

• All keys except for title are optional
• date, if present, will be set as the published_at date.
• If published is set to true, it will publish a kind 30023 event, otherwise a kind 30024 (draft)
• The d tag (widely used as URL slug for the article) will be the filename without the .md extension

To all existing nostr developers and new nostr developers, stop using kind 1 events... just stop whatever your doing and switch the kind to Math.round(Math.random() * 10000) trust me it will be better

What are kind 1 events

kind 1 events are defined in NIP-10 as "simple plaintext notes" or in other words social posts.

Don't trick your users

Most users are joining nostr for the social experience, and secondly to find all the cool "other stuff" apps They find friends, browse social posts, and reply to them. If a user signs into a new nostr client and it starts asking them to sign kind 1 events with blobs of JSON, they will sign it without thinking too much about it.

Then when they return to their comfy social apps they will see that they made 10+ posts with massive amounts of gibberish that they don't remember posting. then they probably will go looking for the delete button and realize there isn't one...

Even if those kind 1 posts don't contain JSON and have a nice fancy human readable syntax. they will still confuse users because they won't remember writing those social posts

What about "discoverability"

If your goal is to make your "other stuff" app visible to more users, then I would suggest using NIP-19 and NIP-89 The first allows users to embed any other event kind into social posts as nostr:nevent1 or nostr:naddr1 links, and the second allows social clients to redirect users to an app that knows how to handle that specific kind of event

So instead of saving your apps data into kind 1 events. you can pick any kind you want, then give users a "share on nostr" button that allows them to compose a social post (kind 1) with a nostr: link to your special kind of event and by extension you app

Why its a trap

Once users start using your app it becomes a lot more difficult to migrate to a new event kind or data format. This sounds obvious, but If your app is built on kind 1 events that means you will be stuck with their limitations forever.

For example, here are some of the limitations of using kind 1 - Querying for your apps data becomes much more difficult. You have to filter through all of a users kind 1 events to find which ones are created by your app - Discovering your apps data is more difficult for the same reason, you have to sift through all the social posts just to find the ones with you special tag or that contain JSON - Users get confused. as mentioned above users don't expect "other stuff" apps to be creating special social posts - Other nostr clients won't understand your data and will show it as a social post with no option for users to learn about your app

Panda story 3

Initially posted on Hive, story is between 300 and 500 characters. Should become a Nostr kind 30023. Image has markdown.

In a misty bamboo forest, a red panda named Rolo discovered a glowing berry. Curious, he nibbled it and began to float! Drifting over treetops, he saw his friends below, waving. Rolo somersaulted through clouds, giggling as wind tickled his fur. The berry's magic faded at dusk, landing him softly by a stream. His pals cheered his tale, and Rolo dreamed of more adventures, his heart light as the breeze. (349 characters)

วันนี้เรามาย้อนอดีตเล็กน้อยกันครับ กับ ผลิตภัณฑ์ไขมันพืชแปรรูปแบบแรกๆของโลก ที่ใช้กระบวนการแปรรูปน้ำมันพืชด้วยเคมี (hydrogenation) เพื่อให้ได้ไขมันกึ่งแข็ง

ในเดือนมิถุนายน ค.ศ. 1911 บริษัท Procter & Gamble เปิดตัวผลิตภัณฑ์ใหม่ที่เปลี่ยนโฉมวงการทำอาหารบ้านๆ ทั่วอเมริกา ตราสินค้า “Crisco” ซึ่งมาจากคำว่า “crystallized cottonseed oil” ได้ถือกำเนิดขึ้นเป็น “vegetable shortening” หรือที่บ้านเราเรียกว่าเนยขาว ก้อนแรกที่ทำมาจากน้ำมันพืชล้วนๆ แทนที่ไขมันสัตว์อย่างเนยหรือน้ำมันหมู จัดเป็นจุดเริ่มต้นของการปฏิวัติวิธีปรุงอาหารในครัวเรือนสหรัฐฯ

ก่อนหน้านั้น คนอเมริกันคุ้นเคยกับการใช้เนย ชีส หรือน้ำมันหมูในการประกอบอาหาร แต่ Crisco มาพร้อมการโฆษณาว่า “สะอาดกว่า” และ “ประหยัดกว่า” เพราะไม่ต้องเสี่ยงกับกลิ่นคาวหรือการเน่าเสียของไขมันสัตว์ อีกทั้งบรรจุในกระป๋องสีขาวสะอาด จึงดูทันสมัยน่าต้องการ

ชื่อ “Crisco” นั้นไม่ได้ตั้งโดยบังเอิญ แต่มาจากการย่อวลี “crystallized cottonseed oil” ให้สั้นกระชับและติดหู (ต้นชื่อ “Krispo” เคยถูกทดลองก่อน แต่ติดปัญหาเครื่องหมายการค้า และชื่อ “Cryst” ก็ถูกทิ้งไปเพราะมีนัยยะทางศาสนา)

กระบวนการสำคัญคือการนำเอาน้ำมันฝ้ายเหลวไปเติมไฮโดรเจน (hydrogenation) จนแข็งตัวได้เองในอุณหภูมิห้อง ผลลัพธ์คือไขมันทรานส์ที่ช่วยให้มาการีนแข็งตัวดี

ภายในเวลาไม่นานหลังการเปิดตัว โฆษณาในหนังสือพิมพ์และวิทยุกระจายเสียงฉบับแรกของ Crisco ก็เริ่มขึ้นอย่างดุเดือด พ่วงด้วยการแจก “ตำรา Crisco” ให้แม่บ้านลองนำไปใช้ทั้งอบ ทั้งทอด จึงเกิด “ยุคครัว Crisco” อย่างแท้จริง

แม้ Crisco จะถูกยกให้เป็น “จุดเริ่มต้นของยุคไขมันพืช” ในครัวอเมริกัน แต่เบื้องหลังขวดสีเขียว–ขาวที่เติมเต็มชั้นเก็บของในบ้านกลับมีดราม่าและบทเรียนมากกว่าที่ใครคาดคิด

ย้อนกลับไปทศวรรษ 1910 เมื่อ Procter & Gamble เปิดตัว Crisco ในฐานะ “ไขมันพืชสุดสะอาด” พร้อมกับโฆษณาว่าเป็นทางเลือกที่ดีกว่าเนยและแลร์ดเดิม ๆ แต่ความท้าทายแรกคือ “ฝืนความเชื่อ” ของคุณแม่บ้านยุคนั้น ที่ยังยึดติดกับไขมันจากสัตว์ นักการตลาดของ P&G จึงสร้างภาพลักษณ์ให้ Crisco ดูเป็นผลิตภัณฑ์อุตสาหกรรมขั้นสูง โปร่งใส และถูกสุขอนามัยสู้กับค่านิยมเดิมได้อย่างน่าทึ่ง

หนังสือพิมพ์ในยุคนั้นพูดกันว่า มันคือไขมันพืชปฏิวัติวงการ ที่ทั้งถูกกว่าและยืดอายุได้ไกลกว่าน้ำมันสัตว์

กระทั่งปลายทศวรรษ 1980 เกิดดราม่าสะท้อนความย้อนแย้งในวงการสุขภาพ เมื่อองค์กร CSPI (Center for Science in the Public Interest) กลับออกมาชื่นชมการใช้ไขมันทรานส์จาก Crisco ว่า “ดีต่อหลอดเลือด” เมื่อเทียบกับไขมันอิ่มตัวจากมะพร้าว เนย หรือไขมันสัตว์

นี่คือครั้งที่วงการแพทย์และโภชนาการแตกแยกกันว่าอะไรจริงหรือหลอก จนกระทั่งงานวิจัยยืนยันชัดเจนว่าไขมันทรานส์เป็นอันตรายต่อหัวใจจริง ๆ

แต่เมื่อเวลาผ่านไป งานวิจัยคุณภาพสูงเริ่มชี้ชัดว่า ไขมันทรานส์ ไม่ใช่เพียงส่วนเกินในเมนูขนมกรอบๆ เท่านั้น มันเป็นภัยเงียบที่เพิ่มความเสี่ยงโรคหลอดเลือดหัวใจ และการอักเสบเรื้อรัง WHO จึงออกมาตรการให้โลก “เลิกทรานส์แฟต” ภายในปี 2023 ทำให้ Procter & Gamble ปรับสูตร Crisco มาใช้การผสมระหว่างน้ำมันฝ้าย fully hydrogenated กับน้ำมันเหลว ผ่านกระบวนการ interesterification แทน เพื่อให้ได้จุดหลอมเหลวที่เหมาะสมโดยไม่สร้างทรานส์แฟตเพิ่มอีก

อีกประเด็นดราม่าที่ตามมาเมื่อ Procter & Gamble ต้องปรับสูตร Crisco ให้เป็น “trans fat–free” ในปี 2004 และยุติการขายสูตรปราศจากทรานส์เฉพาะทางในปี 2007 ก่อนจะกลับมาใช้ fully hydrogenated palm oil ตามกฎ FDA ในปี 2018

แต่การหันมาใช้น้ำมันปาล์มเต็มตัวกลับก่อปัญหาใหม่ คือข้อครหาเรื่องการทำลายป่าเขตร้อนเพื่อปลูกปาล์มน้ำมัน จนกลายเป็นดราม่าระดับโลกเรื่องสิ่งแวดล้อมและสิทธิมนุษยชนในชุมชนท้องถิ่น

แด่วันนี้ เมื่อใครยังพูดถึง Crisco ด้วยสายตาเด็กน้อยที่เห็นไขมันพืชขาวโพลน เป็นคำตอบใหม่ของครัวสะอาด เราอาจยกมือทักว่า “อย่าลืมดูเบื้องหลังของมัน” เพราะไขมันที่เกิดจากการ “สลับตำแหน่งกรดไขมัน” ผ่านความร้อนสูงและสารเคมี ไม่ใช่ไขมันที่ธรรมชาติออกแบบมาให้ร่างกายคุ้นเคยจริงๆ แม้จะมีชื่อใหม่ สูตรใหม่ แต่ต้นกำเนิดของการปฏิวัติครัวในปี 1911

Crisco ไม่ได้เป็นแค่พรีเซนเตอร์ “ไขมันพืชเพื่อสุขภาพ” แต่ยังเป็นบทเรียนสำคัญเรื่องการตลาดอาหารอุตสาหกรรม การวิจัยทางโภชนาการที่ต้องพัฒนาไม่หยุดนิ่ง และผลกระทบต่อสิ่งแวดล้อมเมื่อเราหันมาใช้วัตถุดิบใหม่ๆ ดังนั้น ครัวของเราอาจจะสะอาดทันสมัย แต่ก็ต้องเลือกให้รอบคอบและติดตามเบื้องหลังของทุกขวดที่เราใช้เสมอครับ

ไหนๆก็ไหนๆแล้ว ขออธิบายคุณลักษณะของ เนยขาวไปยาวๆเลยแล้วกันนะครับ ขี้เกียจแยกโพส 55555555

เนยขาว หรือชื่อทางเทคนิคว่า “shortening” ไม่ได้มีส่วนผสมของนม หรือเนยแท้ใดๆ ทั้งสิ้น แต่มันคือไขมันพืชที่ผ่านกระบวนการทำให้แข็งตัว และคงรูปได้ดี เส้นทางของเนยขาวเริ่มด้วยการเปลี่ยนโครงสร้างไขมันไม่อิ่มตัวในน้ำมันพืชให้กลายเป็นไขมันอิ่มตัวมากขึ้น กระบวนการนี้เรียกว่า hydrogenation หรือการเติมไฮโดรเจนเข้าไปในโมเลกุลของไขมัน โดยใช้อุณหภูมิสูงและตัวเร่งปฏิกิริยาอย่าง “นิกเกิล” เพื่อให้ไขมันพืชที่เหลวกลายเป็นของแข็งที่อยู่ตัว ไม่เหม็นหืนง่าย และสามารถเก็บได้นานขึ้น

ผลพลอยได้ของการ hydrogenation คือการเกิดขึ้นของ ไขมันทรานส์ (trans fat) ซึ่งเป็นไขมันที่ร่างกายแทบไม่มีระบบจัดการ และได้รับการยืนยันจากงานวิจัยนับไม่ถ้วนว่าเป็นหนึ่งในปัจจัยเสี่ยงสำคัญต่อโรคหัวใจ หลอดเลือด และการอักเสบเรื้อรังในร่างกาย แม้ในยุคปัจจุบันบางผู้ผลิตจะเปลี่ยนวิธีการผลิตไปใช้การปรับโครงสร้างไขมันด้วยวิธี interesterification ที่ช่วยลดทรานส์แฟตลงได้มาก แต่ก็ยังคงเป็นกระบวนการแทรกแซงโครงสร้างไขมันจากธรรมชาติรวมถึงใช้กระบวนการ RBD ที่เราคุยกันไปแล้วอยู่ดี และผลกระทบต่อร่างกายในระยะยาวก็ยังเป็นคำถามที่นักโภชนาการสาย real food หลายคนตั้งข้อสังเกต

คำว่า “shortening” มาจากคำกริยา shorten ที่แปลว่า "ทำให้สั้นลง" ซึ่งในบริบทของการทำขนม มันหมายถึง การไปยับยั้งไม่ให้เส้นใยกลูเตนในแป้งพัฒนาได้ยาวและเหนียวตามธรรมชาติ เวลาผสมแป้งกับน้ำ โปรตีนในแป้งสองตัวคือกลูเตนิน (glutenin) กับไกลอาดิน (gliadin) จะจับกันกลายเป็นกลูเตน ซึ่งมีคุณสมบัติยืดหยุ่น เหนียว เหมาะกับขนมปังที่ต้องการโครงสร้างแน่นๆ ยืดๆ หนึบๆ

แต่พอเราใส่ shortening ลงไป เช่น เนยขาว น้ำมัน หรือไขมันที่อยู่ในสถานะกึ่งของแข็ง มันจะไปเคลือบเส้นแป้ง ทำให้โปรตีนกลูเตนจับกันไม่ได้เต็มที่ ผลคือเส้นใยกลูเตนถูก “ทำให้สั้นลง” แทนที่จะยืดหยุ่นยาวแบบในขนมปัง เลยกลายเป็นเนื้อขนมที่ร่วน นุ่ม ละลายในปาก หรือแม้แต่กรอบ อย่างคุกกี้ พาย หรือโรตีบางๆ หอมๆ นั่นแหละ เป็นสัมผัสที่นักทำขนมรักใคร่ แต่ร่างกายอาจไม่ปลื้มสักเท่าไหร่

เพราะจุดสังเกตุคือ เรื่องไขมันทรานส์ หลายแบรนด์ที่ขั้นตอนการผลิตไม่ดีพอ อาจพยายามเขียนฉลากว่า “ไม่มี trans fat” หรือ “low trans” แต่ในความเป็นจริงแล้ว หากไขมันทรานส์ต่ำกว่า 0.5 กรัมต่อหนึ่งหน่วยบริโภค ผู้ผลิตสามารถระบุว่าเป็น 0 ได้ตามกฎหมาย ซึ่งหากกินหลายๆ หน่วยรวมกัน ก็ไม่ต่างจากการเปิดประตูให้ trans fat ย่องเข้าร่างแบบไม่รู้ตัว

แต่เหนือกว่านั้นก็คือเรื่องเดิมๆที่เราเข้าใจกันดีในน้ำมันพืช นั่นคือ โอเมก้า 6 เพียบ + กระบวนการปรุงแต่งเคมี ที่เปราะบางต่ออุณหภูมิ ทำให้เกิดการออกซิเดชัน นำไปสู่โรคจากการอักเสบของร่างกาย

อาจถึงเวลาแล้วที่เราควรเปิดใจกลับไปหาความเรียบง่ายของไขมันจากธรรมชาติ สิ่งที่ดูสะอาด ขาว และอยู่ตัวดีเกินไป อาจไม่ใช่สิ่งที่ธรรมชาติอยากให้เข้าไปอยู่ในตัวเราก็ได้

ปล. สำหรับใครที่สงสัยว่า เนยขาว กับ มาการีน ต่างกันยังไง Shortening (เนยขาว) คือไขมันพืช 100% ไม่มีน้ำผสม บีบให้เป็นก้อน ทนความร้อนได้สูง เพื่อให้แป้ง “ไม่ยืด” เกล็ดขนมร่วนกรอบ Margarine (มาการีน) จะผสมไขมันกับน้ำ–เกลือ–อิมัลซิไฟเออร์ ทำให้ทาได้เนียนเหมือนเนย แต่มีน้ำประมาณ 15–20%

Panda story 1

Initially posted on Hive, story is between 300 and 500 characters. Should become a Nostr kind 30023. Image has markdown.

In a misty bamboo forest, a red panda named Rolo discovered a glowing berry. Curious, he nibbled it and began to float! Drifting over treetops, he saw his friends below, waving. Rolo somersaulted through clouds, giggling as wind tickled his fur. The berry's magic faded at dusk, landing him softly by a stream. His pals cheered his tale, and Rolo dreamed of more adventures, his heart light as the breeze. (349 characters)

O Contexto Legal Brasileiro e o Consentimento

No ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, o consentimento do ofendido pode, em certas circunstâncias, afastar a ilicitude de um ato que, sem ele, configuraria crime (como lesão corporal leve, prevista no Art. 129 do Código Penal). Contudo, o consentimento tem limites claros: não é válido para bens jurídicos indisponíveis, como a vida, e sua eficácia é questionável em casos de lesões corporais graves ou gravíssimas.

A prática de BDSM consensual situa-se em uma zona complexa. Em tese, se ambos os parceiros são adultos, capazes, e consentiram livre e informadamente nos atos praticados, sem que resultem em lesões graves permanentes ou risco de morte não consentido, não haveria crime. O desafio reside na comprovação desse consentimento, especialmente se uma das partes, posteriormente, o negar ou alegar coação.

A Lei Maria da Penha (Lei nº 11.340/2006)

A Lei Maria da Penha é um marco fundamental na proteção da mulher contra a violência doméstica e familiar. Ela estabelece mecanismos para coibir e prevenir tal violência, definindo suas formas (física, psicológica, sexual, patrimonial e moral) e prevendo medidas protetivas de urgência.

Embora essencial, a aplicação da lei em contextos de BDSM pode ser delicada. Uma alegação de violência por parte da mulher, mesmo que as lesões ou situações decorram de práticas consensuais, tende a receber atenção prioritária das autoridades, dada a presunção de vulnerabilidade estabelecida pela lei. Isso pode criar um cenário onde o parceiro masculino enfrenta dificuldades significativas em demonstrar a natureza consensual dos atos, especialmente se não houver provas robustas pré-constituídas.

Outros riscos:

Lesão corporal grave ou gravíssima (art. 129, §§ 1º e 2º, CP), não pode ser justificada pelo consentimento, podendo ensejar persecução penal.

Crimes contra a dignidade sexual (arts. 213 e seguintes do CP) são de ação pública incondicionada e independem de representação da vítima para a investigação e denúncia.

Riscos de Falsas Acusações e Alegação de Coação Futura

Os riscos para os praticantes de BDSM, especialmente para o parceiro que assume o papel dominante ou que inflige dor/restrição (frequentemente, mas não exclusivamente, o homem), podem surgir de diversas frentes:

1. Acusações Externas: Vizinhos, familiares ou amigos que desconhecem a natureza consensual do relacionamento podem interpretar sons, marcas ou comportamentos como sinais de abuso e denunciar às autoridades.
2. Alegações Futuras da Parceira: Em caso de término conturbado, vingança, arrependimento ou mudança de perspectiva, a parceira pode reinterpretar as práticas passadas como abuso e buscar reparação ou retaliação através de uma denúncia. A alegação pode ser de que o consentimento nunca existiu ou foi viciado.
3. Alegação de Coação: Uma das formas mais complexas de refutar é a alegação de que o consentimento foi obtido mediante coação (física, moral, psicológica ou econômica). A parceira pode alegar, por exemplo, que se sentia pressionada, intimidada ou dependente, e que seu "sim" não era genuíno. Provar a ausência de coação a posteriori é extremamente difícil.
4. Ingenuidade e Vulnerabilidade Masculina: Muitos homens, confiando na dinâmica consensual e na parceira, podem negligenciar a necessidade de precauções. A crença de que "isso nunca aconteceria comigo" ou a falta de conhecimento sobre as implicações legais e o peso processual de uma acusação no âmbito da Lei Maria da Penha podem deixá-los vulneráveis. A presença de marcas físicas, mesmo que consentidas, pode ser usada como evidência de agressão, invertendo o ônus da prova na prática, ainda que não na teoria jurídica.

Estratégias de Prevenção e Mitigação

Não existe um método infalível para evitar completamente o risco de uma falsa acusação, mas diversas medidas podem ser adotadas para construir um histórico de consentimento e reduzir vulnerabilidades:

1. Comunicação Explícita e Contínua: A base de qualquer prática BDSM segura é a comunicação constante. Negociar limites, desejos, palavras de segurança ("safewords") e expectativas antes, durante e depois das cenas é crucial. Manter registros dessas negociações (e-mails, mensagens, diários compartilhados) pode ser útil.

2. Documentação do Consentimento:

   • Contratos de Relacionamento/Cena: Embora a validade jurídica de "contratos BDSM" seja discutível no Brasil (não podem afastar normas de ordem pública), eles servem como forte evidência da intenção das partes, da negociação detalhada de limites e do consentimento informado. Devem ser claros, datados, assinados e, idealmente, reconhecidos em cartório (para prova de data e autenticidade das assinaturas).

   • Registros Audiovisuais: Gravar (com consentimento explícito para a gravação) discussões sobre consentimento e limites antes das cenas pode ser uma prova poderosa. Gravar as próprias cenas é mais complexo devido a questões de privacidade e potencial uso indevido, mas pode ser considerado em casos específicos, sempre com consentimento mútuo documentado para a gravação.

     Importante: a gravação deve ser com ciência da outra parte, para não configurar violação da intimidade (art. 5º, X, da Constituição Federal e art. 20 do Código Civil).

3. Testemunhas: Em alguns contextos de comunidade BDSM, a presença de terceiros de confiança durante negociações ou mesmo cenas pode servir como testemunho, embora isso possa alterar a dinâmica íntima do casal.

4. Estabelecimento Claro de Limites e Palavras de Segurança: Definir e respeitar rigorosamente os limites (o que é permitido, o que é proibido) e as palavras de segurança é fundamental. O desrespeito a uma palavra de segurança encerra o consentimento para aquele ato.
5. Avaliação Contínua do Consentimento: O consentimento não é um cheque em branco; ele deve ser entusiástico, contínuo e revogável a qualquer momento. Verificar o bem-estar do parceiro durante a cena ("check-ins") é essencial.
6. Discrição e Cuidado com Evidências Físicas: Ser discreto sobre a natureza do relacionamento pode evitar mal-entendidos externos. Após cenas que deixem marcas, é prudente que ambos os parceiros estejam cientes e de acordo, talvez documentando por fotos (com data) e uma nota sobre a consensualidade da prática que as gerou.
7. Aconselhamento Jurídico Preventivo: Consultar um advogado especializado em direito de família e criminal, com sensibilidade para dinâmicas de relacionamento alternativas, pode fornecer orientação personalizada sobre as melhores formas de documentar o consentimento e entender os riscos legais específicos.

Observações Importantes

• Nenhuma documentação substitui a necessidade de consentimento real, livre, informado e contínuo.
• A lei brasileira protege a "integridade física" e a "dignidade humana". Práticas que resultem em lesões graves ou que violem a dignidade de forma não consentida (ou com consentimento viciado) serão ilegais, independentemente de qualquer acordo prévio.
• Em caso de acusação, a existência de documentação robusta de consentimento não garante a absolvição, mas fortalece significativamente a defesa, ajudando a demonstrar a natureza consensual da relação e das práticas.

• A alegação de coação futura é particularmente difícil de prevenir apenas com documentos. Um histórico consistente de comunicação aberta (whatsapp/telegram/e-mails), respeito mútuo e ausência de dependência ou controle excessivo na relação pode ajudar a contextualizar a dinâmica como não coercitiva.

• Cuidado com Marcas Visíveis e Lesões Graves Práticas que resultam em hematomas severos ou lesões podem ser interpretadas como agressão, mesmo que consentidas. Evitar excessos protege não apenas a integridade física, mas também evita questionamentos legais futuros.

O que vem a ser consentimento viciado

No Direito, consentimento viciado é quando a pessoa concorda com algo, mas a vontade dela não é livre ou plena — ou seja, o consentimento existe formalmente, mas é defeituoso por alguma razão.

O Código Civil brasileiro (art. 138 a 165) define várias formas de vício de consentimento. As principais são:

Erro: A pessoa se engana sobre o que está consentindo. (Ex.: A pessoa acredita que vai participar de um jogo leve, mas na verdade é exposta a práticas pesadas.)

Dolo: A pessoa é enganada propositalmente para aceitar algo. (Ex.: Alguém mente sobre o que vai acontecer durante a prática.)

Coação: A pessoa é forçada ou ameaçada a consentir. (Ex.: "Se você não aceitar, eu termino com você" — pressão emocional forte pode ser vista como coação.)

Estado de perigo ou lesão: A pessoa aceita algo em situação de necessidade extrema ou abuso de sua vulnerabilidade. (Ex.: Alguém em situação emocional muito fragilizada é induzida a aceitar práticas que normalmente recusaria.)

No contexto de BDSM, isso é ainda mais delicado: Mesmo que a pessoa tenha "assinado" um contrato ou dito "sim", se depois ela alegar que seu consentimento foi dado sob medo, engano ou pressão psicológica, o consentimento pode ser considerado viciado — e, portanto, juridicamente inválido.

Isso tem duas implicações sérias:

1. O crime não se descaracteriza: Se houver vício, o consentimento é ignorado e a prática pode ser tratada como crime normal (lesão corporal, estupro, tortura, etc.).

2. A prova do consentimento precisa ser sólida: Mostrando que a pessoa estava informada, lúcida, livre e sem qualquer tipo de coação.

   Consentimento viciado é quando a pessoa concorda formalmente, mas de maneira enganada, forçada ou pressionada, tornando o consentimento inútil para efeitos jurídicos.

Conclusão

Casais que praticam BDSM consensual no Brasil navegam em um terreno que exige não apenas confiança mútua e comunicação excepcional, mas também uma consciência aguçada das complexidades legais e dos riscos de interpretações equivocadas ou acusações mal-intencionadas. Embora o BDSM seja uma expressão legítima da sexualidade humana, sua prática no Brasil exige responsabilidade redobrada. Ter provas claras de consentimento, manter a comunicação aberta e agir com prudência são formas eficazes de se proteger de falsas alegações e preservar a liberdade e a segurança de todos os envolvidos. Embora leis controversas como a Maria da Penha sejam "vitais" para a proteção contra a violência real, os praticantes de BDSM, e em particular os homens nesse contexto, devem adotar uma postura proativa e prudente para mitigar os riscos inerentes à potencial má interpretação ou instrumentalização dessas práticas e leis, garantindo que a expressão de sua consensualidade esteja resguardada na medida do possível.

---

Importante: No Brasil, mesmo com tudo isso, o Ministério Público pode denunciar por crime como lesão corporal grave, estupro ou tortura, independente de consentimento. Então a prudência nas práticas é fundamental.

„Anstatt das System zu bekämpfen, baue ein System, das es überflüssig macht.“

– zugeschrieben Buckminster Fuller

Die Gegenwart ist geprägt von Zentralisierung, digitaler Kontrolle und einem Finanzsystem, das Vertrauen verlangt, aber wenig zurückgibt. Für Bitcoiner stellt sich nicht mehr die Frage nach dem Ob, sondern nach dem Wie des Rückzugs aus diesem System.

Vom Goldstandard zu Bitcoin

Der klassische Goldstandard war Ausdruck eines strukturellen Misstrauens gegenüber staatlicher Willkür. Die Bindung des Geldes an ein rares Gut wie Gold disziplinierte die Geldpolitik – allerdings auf Kosten von Flexibilität, Zugänglichkeit und Dezentralität. Gold war zentral verwahrt, schwer zu transportieren und politisch angreifbar.

Bitcoin übernimmt die Idee der Begrenzung, ohne diese Schwächen: keine zentrale Verwahrung, leicht teilbar, digital übertragbar, resistent gegen Konfiszierung. Was beim Gold noch eine politische Vereinbarung war, ist bei Bitcoin eine technische Tatsache.

Anarchie als Ordnung ohne Herrschaft

Anarchie wird oft missverstanden. Sie ist keine Ablehnung von Ordnung, sondern von Herrschaft. Sie setzt auf freiwillige Strukturen statt auf Zwang, auf Verantwortung statt auf Kontrolle. Bitcoin ist in diesem Sinne anarchisch. Es gibt keine zentrale Autorität, keine Intervention, kein Gatekeeping. Teilhabe ist offen, Regeln sind transparent, Entscheidungen beruhen auf Konsens. Es ist ein System, das sich jeder aneignen kann, ohne jemanden um Erlaubnis zu fragen.

Die Praxis des Rückzugs

Der Rückzug aus dem bestehenden System ist kein plötzlicher Bruch, sondern eine Praxis. Er beginnt mit Selbstverwahrung, mit der Vermeidung von KYC, mit der Nutzung von Peer-to-Peer-Technologien und mit dem bewussten Aufbau eigener Infrastruktur. Es geht nicht darum, das alte System zu stürzen, sondern es überflüssig zu machen – indem man es nicht mehr braucht.

Bitcoin als Entscheidung

Bitcoin ist keine Spekulation, kein Unternehmen, kein Produkt. Es ist eine Entscheidung. Eine Entscheidung für Autonomie. Für Verantwortung. Für Souveränität. Wer sich für diesen Weg entscheidet, entscheidet sich nicht für die einfachste Lösung – sondern für die ehrlichste. Der Preis ist Selbstverantwortung. Die Belohnung ist Freiheit.

Ein stiller Rückzug

Kein Spektakel. Keine Revolution. Nur ein Protokoll. Und ein Mensch, der es nutzt.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

"I need something, Tracy anything," Mark said urgently over the phone. "A document, a record, an old file. Something we can use to destroy James."

There was a pause on the line before Tracy’s voice came through. "I’m listening."

"You're close to the system. You’ve got access. Find anything in JP Enterprises' archives that can ruin his name. I’ll make it worth your while."

"And if I find something?"

"Then you'll be well paid. Consider this... a mutual favor."

She hesitated for only a moment longer before replying. "Fine. I never liked that arrogant boss anyway."

Tracy got to work.

She waited until after hours when most of the staff had left the building. Using her clearance as assistant secretary, she accessed the company’s archival system and began a deep dive into the internal records emails, past reports, disciplinary logs anything that could point to a crack in James’s past.

Her digging soon turned up something explosive.

A buried personnel file revealed that James had once worked as a general manager in the company years ago under the leadership of his own parents. And the record didn’t end well.

Tracy’s eyes widened as she read through the document.

James had been dismissed for embezzlement. According to the official report, he had allegedly siphoned company funds and misappropriated key equipment. Worse still, his name had been added to JP Enterprises’ blacklist marked as a permanent ban from holding any role in the organization again.

"Oh my God," Tracy whispered, her heart pounding. "This is it. This will end him."

Without wasting another second, she forwarded every file and attachment to Mark and Helen.

Meanwhile, across the ocean, in a secluded estate far from the noise of city life, Mr. and Mrs. JP were enjoying the quiet of retirement. Having severed ties with James years ago over the scandal, they had left the country to escape the shame and silence.

That peace was short-lived.

Mr. JP sat up abruptly as his phone buzzed. It was an anonymous message. He opened it slowly, his eyes scanning the contents with growing disbelief.

"James has returned to JP Enterprises. Charles reinstated him. He’s now President of your company."

His blood ran cold.

Mrs. JP saw the tension in his expression. "What’s wrong?"

"He’s back," Mr. JP said grimly. "Our son. James. He's taken over the company."

He stared into space, his mind reeling. "And Charles helped him..."

They had spent years trying to distance themselves from the disgrace of James’s past only to now be faced with the reality that he had clawed his way back into the empire they built.

The anonymous message was, of course, sent by Mark and Helen, each relishing in the chaos they had ignited. With the scandalous file now in their hands and James’s own family unknowingly brought into the picture, they believed the final blow was in place.

Mark leaned back in his chair and smiled as he read the forwarded documents.

"Let’s see how your so-called empire stands after this, James," he said quietly.

Helen, standing beside him, added coldly, "This time, he won’t survive it."

"How could he do this?" Mr. JP muttered under his breath, clutching his phone tightly. "How could Charles go behind my back and reinstall him? My own brother..."

The news that James had returned to JP Enterprises and not just as a member, but as its President had shaken him to the core. But what stung more was the betrayal he felt from Charles, who had once promised never to interfere in the matter again.

Fuming with rage and disbelief, Mr. JP boarded the next flight back home. Upon arrival, he didn’t even stop by the family estate. Instead, he went straight to the Regency Grand, the city’s most luxurious hotel, the same place he used to spend time with his family during better days. He booked the presidential suite and immediately dialed Charles' number.

"Meet me. Now. At the hotel," he barked before ending the call without waiting for a response.

Within the hour, Charles walked in, calm but aware of the storm brewing.

"You defied me, Charles," Mr. JP said, his voice icy. "You brought back the one person I had removed. The one person I swore would never set foot in the company again."

"Because you were wrong," Charles replied firmly. "You made a decision based on lies."

Mr. JP’s glare deepened.

"Lies? The records were clear embezzlement. Theft. He disgraced this family, Charles!"

Charles stood his ground. "Those records were manipulated. You never gave James a chance to explain himself."

He stepped closer. "The funds he was accused of stealing? He used them to invest in a struggling tech start-up that exploded in value two years later. That investment saved JP Enterprises during the economic downturn. The company is standing today because of James’s vision and sacrifice."

Silence filled the room.

Mr. JP felt his heart sink as the weight of Charles’s words settled in. He turned away, walking slowly to the window, staring out at the city skyline.

"All this time... I condemned my own son... exiled him... because I trusted false reports?"

Charles nodded. "Yes. And despite it all, he returned not for revenge, but to help us."

Tears welled up in Mr. JP’s eyes. His pride, once like stone, was now crumbling.

Without hesitation, he picked up his phone and dialed James’s number. The phone rang twice before James answered.

"Hello?" came the familiar voice, calm and distant.

"James... it’s your father." His voice trembled. "I... I’m sorry. I was wrong. Gravely wrong. Everything I believed about you was a lie. I let you down, son."

There was silence on the other end.

"I just found out the truth," Mr. JP continued. "And I’m proud of what you’ve done for the company, for our name. I want you to know... you are reinstated as the rightful heir to JP Enterprises. I want you back not just as President, but as my son."

James took a long pause before answering.

"It took you long enough," he said softly. "But... thank you."

Though James had once sworn not to seek his parents' approval, deep down, those words still mattered. And hearing them from the father who had disowned him brought a quiet sense of closure.

The rift that had torn them apart for years was beginning to heal.

"Dad, who told you I was the President of JP Enterprises?" James asked, his tone calm but firm as he stood before his father in the grand office of the family estate.

Mr. JP, still adjusting to the emotional weight of his recent apology, furrowed his brow. "It was anonymous, son. I received a message no name, no clue. Just the information."

James narrowed his eyes. "Can you forward the message to me?"

"Of course," his father replied, pulling out his phone. Within seconds, the message was in James’s inbox.

Later that evening, James sat in his private office, staring at the message on his screen. Something about it felt off too calculated, too timely. He forwarded it to his personal cybersecurity team with one instruction: “Trace the source. I want to know everything about who sent it, how, and if they’re working with someone.”

Meanwhile, Ray Enterprises was thriving again under James’s investment. With the influx of capital and revitalized operations, profits were skyrocketing. However, while the company’s success looked promising on the surface, the Ray family was barely reaping the rewards.

James’s 85% share ensured he collected the lion’s portion of every deal. Robert, despite being the figurehead chairman, found himself managing a flourishing empire but receiving only crumbs in return.

Frustrated and desperate, Robert scheduled a private meeting with James.

"James, please... eighty-five percent is bleeding us dry. We’re grateful for what you’ve done truly but surely we can renegotiate?"

James leaned back in his chair, expression unreadable. "You signed the agreement, Robert. You knew the terms. And frankly, I'm not in the mood to revisit old conversations."

"We just want fairness," Robert pleaded. "A little breathing space"

"If this discussion continues," James interrupted coldly, "I’ll pull out my funds. And when I do, I promise Ray Enterprises will go down faster than it rose. Do I make myself clear?"

Robert’s face fell. He had no choice but to nod and walk away, defeated.

Two weeks later, James’s cybersecurity team sent their report. The source of the anonymous message had been traced and the result was both surprising and telling.

Tracy.

James sat silently as he read the details. Tracy, his own subordinate, had accessed restricted files from the company’s internal network. It wasn’t just a case of whistleblowing it was deliberate sabotage. But what intrigued him more was the fact that she had gone to great lengths to cover her tracks.

No one takes that risk alone, he thought.

Despite having the evidence in hand, James chose silence. Not out of mercy but strategy. He needed to know who she was working with. Who else had a vested interest in his downfall?

The Traditional Hackathon: Brilliant Sparks with Limitations

For decades, hackathons have been the petri dishes of tech culture – frantic 24- or 48-hour coding marathons fueled by pizza, caffeine, and impossible optimism. From the first hackathon in 1999, when Sun Microsystems challenged Java developers to code on a Palm V in a day [1], to the all-night hack days at startups and universities, these events celebrated the hacker spirit. They gave us Facebook’s “Like” button and Chat features – iconic innovations born in overnight jams [1]. They spawned companies like GroupMe, which was coded in a few late-night hours and sold to Skype for $80 million a year later [2]. Hackathons became tech lore, synonymous with creativity unchained.

And yet, for all their electric energy and hype, traditional hackathons had serious limitations. They were episodic and offline – a once-in-a-blue-moon adrenaline rush rather than a sustainable process. A hackathon might gather 100 coders in a room over a weekend, then vanish until the next year. Low frequency, small scale, limited reach. Only those who could be on-site (often in Silicon Valley or elite campuses) could join. A brilliant hacker in Lagos or São Paulo would be left out, no matter how bright their ideas.

The outcomes of these sprint-like events were also constrained. Sure, teams built cool demos and won bragging rights. But in most cases, the projects were throwaway prototypes – “toy” apps that never evolved into real products or companies. It’s telling that studies found only about 5% of hackathon projects have any life a few months after the event [3]. Ninety-five percent evaporate – victims of that post-hackathon hangover, when everyone goes back to “real” work and the demo code gathers dust. Critics even dubbed hackathons “weekend wastedathons,” blasting their outputs as short-lived vaporware [3]. Think about it: a burst of creativity occurs, dozens of nifty ideas bloom… and then what? How many hackathon winners can you name that turned into enduring businesses? For every Carousell or EasyTaxi that emerged from a hackathon and later raised tens of millions [2], there were hundreds of clever mashups that never saw the light of day again.

The traditional hackathon model, as exciting as it was, rarely translated into sustained innovation. It was innovation in a silo: constrained by time, geography, and a lack of follow-through. Hackathons were events, not processes. They happened in a burst and ended just as quickly – a firework, not a sunrise.

Moreover, hackathons historically were insular. Until recently, they were largely run by and for tech insiders. Big tech companies did internal hackathons to juice employee creativity (Facebook’s famous all-nighters every few weeks led to Timeline and tagging features reaching a billion users [1]), and organizations like NASA and the World Bank experimented with hackathons for civic tech. But these were exceptions that proved the rule: hackathons were special occasions, not business-as-usual. Outside of tech giants, few organizations had the bandwidth or know-how to host them regularly. If you weren’t Google, Microsoft, or a well-funded startup hub, hackathons remained a novelty.

In fact, the world’s largest hackathon today is Microsoft’s internal global hackathon – with 70,000 employees collaborating across 75 countries [4] – an incredible feat, but one only a corporate titan could pull off. Smaller players could only watch and wonder.

The limitations were clear: hackathons were too infrequent and inaccessible to tap the full global talent pool, too short-lived to build anything beyond a prototype, and too isolated to truly change an industry. Yes, they produced amazing moments of genius – flashbulbs of innovation. But as a mechanism for continuous progress, the traditional hackathon was lacking. As an investor or tech leader, you might cheer the creativity but ask: Where is the lasting impact? Where is the infrastructure that turns these flashes into a steady beam of light?

In the spirit of Clay Christensen’s Innovator’s Dilemma, incumbents often dismissed hackathon projects as mere toys – interesting but not viable. And indeed, “the next big thing always starts out being dismissed as a toy” [5]. Hackathons generated plenty of toys, but rarely the support system to turn those toys into the next big thing. The model was ripe for reinvention. Why, in the 2020s, were we still innovating with a 1990s playbook? Why limit breakthrough ideas to a weekend or a single location? Why allow 95% of nascent innovations to wither on the vine? These questions hung in the air, waiting for an answer.

Hackathons 2.0 – DoraHacks and the First Evolution (2020–2024)

Enter DoraHacks. In the early 2020s, DoraHacks emerged like a defibrillator for the hackathon format, jolting it to new life. DoraHacks 1.0 (circa 2020–2024) was nothing less than the reinvention of the hackathon – an upgrade from Hackathon 1.0 to Hackathon 2.0. It took the hackathon concept, supercharged it, scaled it, and extended its reach in every dimension. The result was a global hacker movement, a platform that transformed hackathons from one-off sprints into a continuous engine for tech innovation. How did DoraHacks revolutionize the hackathon? Let’s count the ways:

From 24 Hours to 24 Days (or 24 Weeks!)

DoraHacks stretched the timeframe of hackathons, unlocking vastly greater potential. Instead of a frantic 24-hour dash, many DoraHacks-supported hackathons ran for several weeks or even months. This was a game-changer. Suddenly, teams had time to build serious prototypes, iterate, and polish their projects. A longer format meant hackathon projects could evolve beyond the rough demo stage. Hackers could sleep (occasionally!), incorporate user feedback, and transform a kernel of an idea into a working MVP. The extended duration blurred the line between a hackathon and an accelerator program – but with the open spirit of a hackathon intact. For example, DoraHacks hackathons for blockchain startups often ran 6–8 weeks, resulting in projects that attracted real users and investors by the end. The extra time turned hackathon toys into credible products. It was as if the hackathon grew up: less hack, more build (“BUIDL”). By shattering the 24-hour norm, DoraHacks made hackathons far more productive and impactful.

From Local Coffee Shops to Global Online Arenas

DoraHacks moved hackathons from physical spaces into the cloud, unleashing global participation. Pre-2020, a hackathon meant being in a specific place – say, a warehouse in San Francisco or a university lab – shoulder-to-shoulder with a local team. DoraHacks blew the doors off that model with online hackathons that anyone, anywhere could join. Suddenly, a developer in Nigeria could collaborate with a designer in Ukraine and a product thinker in Brazil, all in the same virtual hackathon. Geography ceased to be a limit. When DoraHacks hosted the Naija HackAtom for African blockchain devs, it drew over 500 participants (160+ developers) across Nigeria’s tech community [6]. In another event, thousands of hackers from dozens of countries logged into a DoraHacks virtual venue to ideate and compete. This global reach did more than increase headcount – it brought diverse perspectives and problems into the innovation mix. A fintech hackathon might see Latin American coders addressing remittances, or an AI hackathon see Asian and African participants applying machine learning to local healthcare challenges. By going online, hackathons became massively inclusive. DoraHacks effectively democratized access to innovation competitions: all you needed was an internet connection and the will to create. The result was a quantum leap in both the quantity and quality of ideas. No longer were hackathons an elitist sport; they became a global innovation free-for-all, open to talent from every corner of the world.

From Dozens of Participants to Tens of Thousands

Scale was another pillar of the DoraHacks revolution. Traditional hackathons were intimate affairs (dozens, maybe a few hundred participants at best). DoraHacks helped orchestrate hackathons an order of magnitude larger. We’re talking global hackathons with thousands of developers and multi-million dollar prize pools. For instance, in one 2021 online hackathon, nearly 7,000 participants submitted 550 projects for $5 million in prizes [7] – a scale unimaginable in the early 2010s. DoraHacks itself became a nexus for these mega-hackathons. The platform’s hackathons in the Web3 space routinely saw hundreds of teams competing for prizes sometimes exceeding $1 million. This scale wasn’t just vanity metrics; it meant a deeper talent bench attacking problems and a higher probability that truly exceptional projects would emerge. By casting a wide net, DoraHacks events captured star teams that might have been overlooked in smaller settings. The proof is in the outcomes: 216 builder teams were funded with over $5 million in one DoraHacks-powered hackathon series on BNB Chain [8] – yes, five million dollars, distributed to over two hundred teams as seed funding. That’s not a hackathon, that’s an economy! The prize pools ballooned from pizza money to serious capital, attracting top-tier talent who realized this hackathon could launch my startup. As a result, projects coming out of DoraHacks were not just weekend hacks – they were venture-ready endeavors. The hackathon graduated from a science fair to a global startup launchpad.

From Toy Projects to Real Startups (Even Unicorns)

Here’s the most thrilling part: DoraHacks hackathons started producing not just apps, but companies. And some of them turned into unicorns (companies valued at $1B+). We saw earlier the rare cases of pre-2020 hackathon successes like Carousell (a simple idea at a 2012 hackathon that became a $1.1B valued marketplace [2]) or EasyTaxi (born in a hackathon, later raising $75M and spanning 30 countries [2]). DoraHacks turbocharged this phenomenon. By providing more time, support, and follow-up funding, DoraHacks-enabled hackathons became cradles of innovation where raw hacks matured into fully-fledged ventures. Take 1inch Network for example – a decentralized finance aggregator that started as a hackathon project in 2019. Sergej Kunz and Anton Bukov built a prototype at a hackathon and kept iterating. Fast forward: 1inch has now processed over $400 billion in trading volume [9] and became one of the leading platforms in DeFi. Or consider the winners of DoraHacks Web3 hackathons: many have gone on to raise multimillion-dollar rounds from top VCs. Hackathons became the front door to the startup world – the place where founders made their debut. A striking illustration was the Solana Season Hackathons: projects like STEPN, a move-to-earn app, won a hackathon track in late 2021 and shortly after grew into a sensation with a multi-billion dollar token economy [10]. These are not isolated anecdotes; they represent a trend DoraHacks set in motion. The platform’s hackathons produced a pipeline of fundable, high-impact startups. In effect, DoraHacks blurred the line between a hackathon and a seed-stage incubator. The playful hacker ethos remained, but now the outcomes were much more than bragging rights – they were companies with real users, revenue, and valuations. To paraphrase investor Chris Dixon, DoraHacks took those “toys” and helped nurture them into the next big things [5].

In driving this first evolution of the hackathon, DoraHacks didn’t just improve on an existing model – it created an entirely new innovation ecosystem. Hackathons became high-frequency, global, and consequential. What used to be a weekend thrill became a continuous pipeline for innovation. DoraHacks events started churning out hundreds of viable projects every year, many of which secured follow-on funding. The platform provided not just the event itself, but the after-care: community support, mentorship, and links to investors and grants (through initiatives like DoraHacks’ grant programs and quadratic funding rounds).

By 2024, the results spoke volumes. DoraHacks had grown into the world’s most important hackathon platform – the beating heart of a global hacker movement spanning blockchain, AI, and beyond. The numbers tell the story. Over nine years, DoraHacks supported 4,000+ projects in securing more than $30 million in funding [11]; by 2025, that figure skyrocketed as 21,000+ startups and developer teams received over $80 million via DoraHacks-supported hackathons and grants [12]. This is not hype – this is recorded history. According to CoinDesk, “DoraHacks has made its mark as a global hackathon organizer and one of the world’s most active multi-chain Web3 developer platforms” [11]. Major tech ecosystems took notice. Over 40 public blockchain networks (L1s and L2s) – from Solana to Polygon to Avalanche – partnered with DoraHacks to run their hackathons and open innovation programs [13]. Blockworks reported that DoraHacks became a “core partner” to dozens of Web3 ecosystems, providing them access to a global pool of developers [13]. In the eyes of investors, DoraHacks itself was key infrastructure: “DoraHacks is key to advancing the development of the infrastructure for Web3,” noted one VC backing the platform [13].

In short, by 2024 DoraHacks had transformed the hackathon from a niche event into a global innovation engine. It proved that hackathons at scale can consistently produce real, fundable innovation – not just one-off gimmicks. It connected hackers with resources and turned isolated hacks into an evergreen, worldwide developer movement. This was Hackathons 2.0: bigger, longer, borderless, and far more impactful than ever before.

One might reasonably ask: Can it get any better than this? DoraHacks had seemingly cracked the code to harness hacker energy for lasting innovation. But the team behind DoraHacks wasn’t done. In fact, they were about to unveil something even more radical – a catalyst to push hackathons into a new epoch entirely. If DoraHacks 1.0 was the evolution, what came next would be a revolution.

The Agentic Hackathon: BUIDL AI and the Second Revolution

In 2024, DoraHacks introduced BUIDL AI, and with it, the concept of the Agentic Hackathon. If hackathons at their inception were analog phones, and DoraHacks 1.0 made them smartphones, then BUIDL AI is like giving hackathons an AI co-pilot – a self-driving mode. It’s not merely an incremental improvement; it’s a second revolution. BUIDL AI infused hackathons with artificial intelligence, automation, and agency (hence “agentic”), fundamentally changing how these events are organized and experienced. We are now entering the Age of Agentic Innovation, where hackathons run with the assistance of AI agents can occur with unprecedented frequency, efficiency, and intelligence.

So, what exactly is an Agentic Hackathon? It’s a hackathon where AI-driven agents augment the entire process – from planning and judging to participant support – enabling a scale and speed of innovation that was impossible before. In an agentic hackathon, AI is the tireless co-organizer working alongside humans. Routine tasks that used to bog down organizers are now handled by intelligent algorithms. Imagine hackathons that practically run themselves, continuously, like an “always-on” tournament of ideas. With BUIDL AI, DoraHacks effectively created self-driving hackathons – autonomous, efficient, and capable of operating 24/7, across multiple domains, simultaneously. This isn’t science fiction; it’s happening now. Let’s break down how BUIDL AI works and why it 10x’d hackathon efficiency overnight:

AI-Powered Judging and Project Review – 10× Efficiency Boost

One of the most labor-intensive aspects of big hackathons is judging hundreds of project submissions. It can take organizers weeks of effort to sift the high-potential projects from the rest. BUIDL AI changes that. It comes with a BUIDL Review module – an AI-driven judging system that can intelligently evaluate hackathon projects on multiple dimensions (completeness, originality, relevance to the hackathon theme, etc.) and automatically filter out low-quality submissions [14]. It’s like having an army of expert reviewers available instantly. The result? What used to require hundreds of human-hours now happens in a flash. DoraHacks reports that AI-assisted review has improved hackathon organization efficiency by more than 10× [14]. Think about that: a process that might have taken a month of tedious work can be done in a few days or less, with AI ensuring consistency and fairness in scoring. Organizers can now handle massive hackathons without drowning in paperwork, and participants get quicker feedback. The AI doesn’t replace human judges entirely – final decisions still involve experts – but it augments them, doing the heavy lifting of initial evaluation. This means hackathons can accept more submissions, confident that AI will help triage them. No more cutting off sign-ups because “we can’t review them all.” The machine scale is here. In an agentic hackathon, no good project goes unseen due to bandwidth constraints – the AI makes sure of that.

Automated Marketing and Storytelling

Winning a hackathon is great, but if nobody hears about it, the impact is muted. Traditionally, after a hackathon ended, organizers would manually compile results, write blog posts, thank sponsors – tasks that, while important, take time and often get delayed. BUIDL AI changes this too. It features an Automated Marketing capability that can generate post-hackathon reports and content with a click [14]. Imagine an AI that observes the entire event (the projects submitted, the winners, the tech trends) and then writes a polished summary: highlighting the best ideas, profiling the winning teams, extracting insights (“60% of projects used AI in healthcare this hackathon”). BUIDL AI does exactly that – it automatically produces a hackathon “highlight reel” and summary report [14]. This not only saves organizers the headache of writing marketing copy, but it also amplifies the hackathon’s reach. Within hours of an event, a rich recap can be shared globally, showcasing the innovations and attracting attention to the teams. Sponsors and partners love this, as their investment gets publicized promptly. Participants love it because their work is immediately celebrated and visible. In essence, every hackathon tells a story, and BUIDL AI ensures that story spreads far and wide – instantly. This kind of automated storytelling turns each hackathon into ongoing content, fueling interest and momentum for the next events. It’s a virtuous cycle: hackathons create innovations, AI packages the narrative, that narrative draws in more innovators.

One-Click Launch and Multi-Hackathon Management

Perhaps the most liberating feature of BUIDL AI is how it obliterates the logistical hurdles of organizing hackathons. Before, setting up a hackathon was itself a project – coordinating registrations, judges, prizes, communications, all manually configured. DoraHacks’ BUIDL AI introduces a one-click hackathon launch tool [14]. Organizers simply input the basics (theme, prize pool, dates, some judging criteria) and the platform auto-generates the event page, submission portal, judging workflow, and more. It’s as easy as posting a blog. This dramatically lowers the barrier for communities and companies to host hackathons. A small startup or a university club can now launch a serious global hackathon without a dedicated team of event planners. Furthermore, BUIDL AI supports Multi-Hackathon Management, meaning one organization can run multiple hackathons in parallel with ease [14]. In the past, even tech giants struggled to overlap hackathons – it was too resource-intensive. Now, an ecosystem could run, say, a DeFi hackathon, an AI hackathon, and an IoT hackathon all at once, with a lean team, because AI is doing the juggling in the back-end. The launch of BUIDL AI made it feasible to organize 12 hackathons a year – or even several at the same time – something unimaginable before [14]. The platform handles participant onboarding, sends reminders, answers common queries via chatbots, and keeps everything on track. In essence, BUIDL AI turns hackathon hosting into a scalable service. Just as cloud computing platforms let you spin up servers on demand, DoraHacks lets you spin up innovation events on demand. This is a tectonic shift: hackathons can now happen as frequently as needed, not as occasionally as resources allow. We’re talking about the birth of perpetual hackathon culture. Hackathons are no longer rare spark events; they can be continuous flames, always burning, always on.

Real-Time Mentor and Agentic Assistance

The “agentic” part of Agentic Hackathons isn’t only behind the scenes. It also touches the participant experience. With AI integration, hackers get smarter tools and support. For instance, BUIDL AI can include AI assistants that answer developers’ questions during the event (“How do I use this API?” or “Any example code for this algorithm?”), acting like on-demand mentors. It can match teams with potential collaborators or suggest resources. Essentially, every hacker has an AI helper at their side, reducing frustration and accelerating progress. Coding issues that might take hours to debug can be resolved in minutes with an AI pair programmer. This means project quality goes up and participants learn more. It’s as if each team has an extra member – an tireless, all-knowing one. This agentic assistance embodies the vision that “everyone is a hacker” [14] – because AI tools enable even less-experienced participants to build something impressive. The popularization of AI has automated repetitive grunt work and amplified what small teams can achieve [14], so the innovation potential of hackathons is far greater than before [14]. In an agentic hackathon, a team of two people with AI assistants can accomplish what a team of five might have in years past. The playing field is leveled and the creative ceiling is raised.

What do all these advances add up to? Simply this: Hackathons have evolved from occasional bouts of inspiration into a continuous, AI-optimized process of innovation. We have gone from Hackathons 2.0 to Hackathons 3.0 – hackathons that are autonomous, persistent, and intelligent. It’s a paradigm shift. The hackathon is no longer an event you attend; it’s becoming an environment you live in. With BUIDL AI, DoraHacks envisions a world where “Hackathons will enter an unprecedented era of automation and intelligence, allowing more hackers, developers, and open-source communities around the world to easily initiate and participate” [14]. Innovation can happen anytime, anywhere – because the infrastructure to support it runs 24/7 in the cloud, powered by AI. The hackathon has become an agentic platform, always ready to transform ideas into reality.

Crucially, this isn’t limited to blockchain or any single field. BUIDL AI is general-purpose. It is as relevant for an AI-focused hackathon as for a climate-tech or healthcare hackathon. Any domain can plug into this agentic hackathon platform and reap the benefits of higher frequency and efficiency. This heralds a future where hackathons become the default mode for problem-solving. Instead of committees and R&D departments working in silos, companies and communities can throw problems into the hackathon arena – an arena that is always active. It’s like having a global innovation engine humming in the background, ready to tackle challenges at a moment’s notice.

To put it vividly: If DoraHacks 1.0 turned hackathons into a high-speed car, DoraHacks 2.0 with BUIDL AI made it a self-driving car with the pedal to the metal. The roadblocks of cost, complexity, and time – gone. Now, any organization can accelerate from 0 to 60 on the innovation highway without a pit stop. Hackathons can be as frequent as blog updates, as integrated into operations as sprint demos. Innovation on demand, at scale – that’s the power of the Agentic Hackathon.

Innovation On-Demand: How Agentic Hackathons Benefit Everyone

The advent of agentic hackathons isn’t just a cool new toy for the tech community – it’s a transformative tool for businesses, developers, and entire industries. We’re entering an era where anyone with a vision can harness hackathons-as-a-service to drive innovation. Here’s how different players stand to gain from this revolution:

AI Companies – Turbocharging Ecosystem Growth

For AI-focused companies (think OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Stability AI and the like), hackathons are goldmines of creative uses for their technology. Now, with agentic hackathons, an AI company can essentially run a continuous developer conference for their platform. For example, OpenAI can host always-on hackathons for building applications with GPT-4 or DALL-E. This means thousands of developers constantly experimenting and showcasing what the AI can do – effectively crowdsourcing innovation and killer apps for the AI platform. The benefit? It dramatically expands the company’s ecosystem and user base. New use cases emerge that the company’s own team might never have imagined. (It was independent hackers who first showed how GPT-3 could draft legal contracts or generate game levels – insights that came from hackathons and community contests.) With BUIDL AI, an AI company could spin up monthly hackathons with one click, each focusing on a different aspect (one month NLP, next month robotics, etc.). This is a marketing and R&D force multiplier. Instead of traditional, expensive developer evangelism tours, the AI does the heavy lifting to engage devs globally. The company’s product gets improved and promoted at the same time. In essence, every AI company can now launch a Hackathon League to promote their APIs/models. It’s no coincidence Coinbase just hosted its first AI hackathon to bridge crypto and AI [15] – they know that to seed adoption of a new paradigm, hackathons are the way. Expect every AI platform to do the same: continuous hackathons to educate developers, generate content (demos, tutorials), and identify standout talent to hire or fund. It’s community-building on steroids.

L1s/L2s and Tech Platforms – Discovering the Next Unicorns

For blockchain Layer1/Layer2 ecosystems, or any tech platform (cloud providers, VR platforms, etc.), hackathons are the new deal flow. In the Web3 world, it’s widely recognized that many of the best projects and protocols are born in hackathons. We saw how 1inch started as a hackathon project and became a DeFi unicorn [9]. There’s also Polygon (which aggressively runs hackathons to find novel dApps for its chain) and Filecoin (which used hackathons to surface storage applications). By using DoraHacks and BUIDL AI, these platforms can now run high-frequency hackathons to continuously source innovation. Instead of one or two big events a year, they can have a rolling program – a quarterly hackathon series or even simultaneous global challenges – to keep developers building all the time. The ROI is huge: the cost of running a hackathon (even with decent prizes) is trivial compared to acquiring a thriving new startup or protocol for your ecosystem. Hackathons effectively outsource initial R&D to passionate outsiders, and the best ideas bubble up. Solana’s hackathons led to star projects like Phantom and Solend gaining traction in its ecosystem. Facebook’s internal hackathons gave birth to features that kept the platform dominant [1]. Now any platform can do this externally: use hackathons as a radar for talent and innovation. Thanks to BUIDL AI, a Layer-2 blockchain, even if its core team is small, can manage a dozen parallel bounties and hackathons – one focusing on DeFi, one on NFTs, one on gaming, etc. The AI will help review submissions and manage community questions, so the platform’s devrel team doesn’t burn out. The result is an innovation pipeline feeding the platform’s growth. The next unicorn startup or killer app is identified early and supported. In effect, hackathons become the new startup funnel for VCs and ecosystems. We can expect venture investors to lurk in these agentic hackathons because that’s where the action is – the garages of the future are now cloud hackathon rooms. As Paul Graham wrote, “hackers and painters are both makers” [16], and these makers will paint the future of technology on the canvas of hackathon platforms.

Every Company and Community – Innovation as a Continuous Process

Perhaps the most profound impact of BUIDL AI is that it opens up hackathons to every organization, not just tech companies. Any company that wants to foster innovation – be it a bank exploring fintech, a hospital network seeking healthtech solutions, or a government looking for civic tech ideas – can leverage agentic hackathons. Innovation is no longer a privilege of the giant tech firms; it’s a cloud service accessible to all. For example, a city government could host a year-round hackathon for smart city solutions, where local developers continuously propose and build projects to improve urban life. The BUIDL AI platform could manage different “tracks” for transportation, energy, public safety, etc., with monthly rewards for top ideas. This would engage the community and yield a constant stream of pilot projects, far more dynamically than traditional RFP processes. Likewise, any Fortune 500 company that fears disruption (and who doesn’t?) can use hackathons to disrupt itself positively – inviting outsiders and employees to hack on the company’s own challenges. With the agentic model, even non-technical companies can do this without a hitch; the AI will guide the process, ensuring things run smoothly. Imagine hackathons as part of every corporate strategy department’s toolkit – continuously prototyping the future. As Marc Andreessen famously said, “software is eating the world” – and now every company can have a seat at the table by hosting hackathons to software-ize their business problems. This could democratize innovation across industries. The barrier to trying out bold ideas is so low (a weekend of a hackathon vs. months of corporate planning) that more wild, potentially disruptive ideas will surface from within companies. And with the global reach of DoraHacks, they can bring in external innovators too. Why shouldn’t a retail company crowdsource AR shopping ideas from global hackers? Why shouldn’t a pharma company run bioinformatics hackathons to find new ways to analyze data? There is no reason not to – the agentic hackathon makes it feasible and attractive. Hackathon-as-a-service is the new innovation department. Use it or risk being out-innovated by those who do.

All these benefits boil down to a simple but profound shift: hackathons are becoming a permanent feature of the innovation landscape, rather than a novelty. They are turning into an always-available resource, much like cloud computing or broadband internet. Need fresh ideas or prototypes? Spin up a hackathon and let the global talent pool tackle it. Want to engage your developer community? Launch a themed hackathon and give them a stage. Want to test out 10 different approaches to a problem? Run a hackathon and see what rises to the top. We’re effectively seeing the realization of what one might call the Innovation Commons – a space where problems and ideas are continuously matched, and solutions are rapidly iterated. And AI is the enabler that keeps this commons humming efficiently, without exhausting the human facilitators.

It’s striking how this addresses the classic pitfalls identified in hackathon critiques: sustainability and follow-through. In the agentic model, hackathons are no longer isolated bursts. They can connect to each other (winning teams from one hackathon can enter an accelerator or another hackathon next month). BUIDL AI can track teams and help link them with funding opportunities, closing the loop that used to leave projects orphaned after the event. A great project doesn’t die on Sunday night; it’s funneled into the next stage automatically (perhaps an AI even suggests which grant to apply for, which partner to talk to). This way, innovations have a life beyond the demo day, systematically.

We should also recognize a more philosophical benefit: the culture of innovation becomes more experimental, meritocratic, and fast-paced. In a world of agentic hackathons, the motto is “Why not prototype it? Why not try it now?” – because spinning up the environment to do so is quick and cheap. This mindset can permeate organizations and communities, making them more agile and bold. The cost of failure is low (a few weeks of effort), and the potential upside is enormous (finding the next big breakthrough). It creates a safe sandbox for disruptive ideas – addressing the Innovator’s Dilemma by structurally giving space to those ‘toy’ ideas to prove themselves [5]. Companies no longer have to choose between core business and experimentation; they can allocate a continuous hackathon track to the latter. In effect, DoraHacks and BUIDL AI have built an innovation factory – one that any visionary leader can rent for the weekend (or the whole year).

From Like Button to Liftoff: Hackathons as the Cradle of Innovation

To truly appreciate this new era, it’s worth reflecting on how many game-changing innovations started as hackathon projects or hackathon-like experiments – often despite the old constraints – and how much more we can expect when those constraints are removed. History is full of examples that validate the hackathon model of innovation:

Facebook’s DNA was shaped by hackathons

Mark Zuckerberg himself has credited the company’s internal hackathons for some of Facebook’s most important features. The Like button, Facebook Chat, and Timeline all famously emerged from engineers pulling all-nighters at hackathons [1]. An intern’s hackathon prototype for tagging people in comments was shipped to a billion users just two weeks later [1]. Facebook’s ethos “Move fast and break things” was practically the hackathon ethos formalized. It is no stretch to say Facebook won over MySpace in the 2000s because its culture of rapid innovation (fueled by hackathons) let it out-innovate its rival [1]. If hackathons did that within one company, imagine a worldwide network of hackathons – the pace of innovation everywhere could resemble that hypergrowth.

Google and the 20% Project

Google has long encouraged employees to spend 20% of time on side projects, which is a cousin of the hackathon idea – unstructured exploration. Gmail and Google News were born this way. Additionally, Google has hosted public hackathons around its APIs (like Android hackathons) that spurred the creation of countless apps. The point is, Google institutionalized hacker-style experimentation and reaped huge rewards. With agentic hackathons, even companies without Google’s resources can institutionalize experimentation. Every weekend can be a 20% time for the world’s devs using these platforms.

Open Source Movements

Open Source Movements have benefitted from hackathons (“code sprints”) to develop critical software. The entire OpenBSD operating system had regular hackathons that were essential to its development [3]. In more recent times, projects like Node.js or TensorFlow have organized hackathons to build libraries and tools. The result: stronger ecosystems and engaged contributors. DoraHacks embraces this, positioning itself as “the leading global hackathon community and open source developer incentive platform” [17]. The synergy of open source and hackathons (both decentralized, community-driven, merit-based) is a powerful engine. We can foresee open source projects launching always-on hackathons via BUIDL AI to continuously fix bugs, add features, and reward contributors. This could rejuvenate the open source world by providing incentives (through hackathon prizes) and recognition in a structured way.

The Startup World

The Startup World has hackathons to thank for many startups. We’ve mentioned Carousell (from a Startup Weekend hackathon, now valued over $1B [2]) and EasyTaxi (Startup Weekend Rio, went on to raise $75M [2]). Add to that list Zapier (integrations startup, conceived at a hackathon), GroupMe (acquired by Skype as noted), Instacart (an early version won a hackathon at Y Combinator Demo Day, legend has it), and numerous crypto startups (the founders of Ethereum itself met and collaborated through hackathons and Bitcoin meetups!). When Coinbase wants to find the next big thing in on-chain AI, they host a hackathon [15]. When Stripe wanted more apps on its payments platform, it ran hackathons and distributed bounties. This model just works. It identifies passionate builders and gives them a springboard. With agentic hackathons, that springboard is super-sized. It’s always there, and it can catch far more people. The funnel widens, so expect even more startups to originate from hackathons. It’s quite plausible that the biggest company of the 2030s won’t be founded in a garage – it will be born out of an online hackathon, formed by a team that met in a Discord server, guided by an AI facilitator, and funded within weeks on a platform like DoraHacks. In other words, the garage is going global and AI-powered.

Hackers & Painters – The Creative Connection

Paul Graham, in Hackers & Painters, drew an analogy between hacking and painting as creative endeavors [16]. Hackathons are where that creative energy concentrates and explodes. Many great programmers will tell you their most inspired work happened in a hackathon or skunkworks setting – free of bureaucratic restraints, in a flow state of creation. By scaling and multiplying hackathons, we are effectively amplifying the global creative capacity. We might recall the Renaissance when artists and inventors thrived under patronage and in gatherings – hackathons are the modern Renaissance workshops. They combine art, science, and enterprise. The likes of Leonardo da Vinci would have been right at home in a hackathon (he was notorious for prototyping like a madman). In fact, consider how hackathons embody the solution to the Innovator’s Dilemma: they encourage working on projects that seem small or “not worth it” to incumbents, which is exactly where disruptive innovation often hides [5]. By institutionalizing hackathons, DoraHacks is institutionalizing disruption – making sure the next Netflix or Airbnb isn’t missed because someone shrugged it off as a toy.

We’ve gone from a time when hackathons were rare and local to a time when they are global and constant. This is a pivotal change in the innovation infrastructure of the world. In the 19th century, we built railroads and telegraphs that accelerated the Industrial Revolution, connecting markets and minds. In the 20th century, we built the internet and the World Wide Web, unleashing the Information Revolution. Now, in the 21st century, DoraHacks and BUIDL AI are building the “Innovation Highway” – a persistent, AI-enabled network connecting problem-solvers to problems, talent to opportunities, capital to ideas, across the entire globe, in real time. It’s an infrastructure for innovation itself.

A Grand Vision: The New Infrastructure of Global Innovation

We stand at an inflection point. With DoraHacks and the advent of agentic hackathons, innovation is no longer confined to ivory labs, Silicon Valley offices, or once-a-year events. It is becoming a continuous global activity – an arena where the best minds and the boldest ideas meet, anytime, anywhere. This is a future where innovation is as ubiquitous as Wi-Fi and as relentless as Moore’s Law. It’s a future DoraHacks is actively building, and the implications are profound.

Picture a world a few years from now, where DoraHacks+BUIDL AI is the default backbone for innovation programs across industries. This platform is buzzing 24/7 with hackathons on everything from AI-driven healthcare to climate-change mitigation to new frontiers of art and entertainment. It’s not just for coders – designers, entrepreneurs, scientists, anyone with creative impulse plugs into this network. An entrepreneur in London has a business idea at 2 AM; by 2:15 AM, she’s on DoraHacks launching a 48-hour hackathon to prototype it, with AI coordinating a team of collaborators from four different continents. Sounds crazy? It will be commonplace. A government in Asia faces a sudden environmental crisis; they host an urgent hackathon via BUIDL AI and within days have dozens of actionable tech solutions from around the world. A venture fund in New York essentially “outsources” part of its research to the hackathon cloud – instead of merely requesting pitch decks, they sponsor open hackathons to see real prototypes first. This is agentic innovation in action – fast, borderless, and intelligent.

In this coming era, DoraHacks will be as fundamental to innovation as GitHub is to code or as AWS is to startups. It’s the platform where innovation lives. One might even call it the “GitHub of Innovation” – a social and technical layer where projects are born, not just stored. Already, DoraHacks calls itself “the global hacker movement” [17], and with BUIDL AI it becomes the autopilot of that movement. It’s fitting to think of it as part of the global public infrastructure for innovation. Just as highways move goods and the internet moves information, DoraHacks moves innovation itself – carrying ideas from inception to implementation at high speed.

When history looks back at the 2020s, the arrival of continuous, AI-driven hackathons will be seen as a key development in how humanity innovates. The vision is grand, but very tangible: Innovation becomes an everlasting hackathon. Think of it – the hacker ethos spreading into every corner of society, an eternal challenge to the status quo, constantly asking “How can we improve this? How can we reinvent that?” and immediately rallying the talent to do it. This is not chaos; it’s a new form of organized, decentralized R&D. It’s a world where any bold question – “Can we cure this disease? Can we educate children better? Can we make cities sustainable?” – can trigger a global hackathon and yield answers in days or weeks, not years. A world where innovation isn’t a scarce resource, jealously guarded by few, but a common good, an open tournament where the best solution wins, whether it comes from a Stanford PhD or a self-taught coder in Lagos.

If this sounds idealistic, consider how far we’ve come: Hackathons went from obscure coder meetups to the engine behind billion-dollar businesses and critical global tech (Bitcoin itself is a product of hacker culture!). With DoraHacks’s growth and BUIDL AI’s leap, the trajectory is set for hackathons to become continuous and ubiquitous. The technology and model are in place. It’s now about execution and adoption. And the trend is already accelerating – more companies are embracing open innovation, more developers are working remotely and participating in online communities, and AI is rapidly advancing as a co-pilot in all creative endeavors.

DoraHacks finds itself at the center of this transformation. It has the first-mover advantage, the community, and the vision. The company’s ethos is telling: “Funding the everlasting hacker movement” is one of their slogans [18]. They see hackathons as not just events but a movement that must be everlasting – a permanent revolution of the mind. With BUIDL AI, DoraHacks is providing the engine to make it everlasting. This hints at a future where DoraHacks+BUIDL AI is part of the critical infrastructure of global innovation, akin to a utility. It’s the innovation grid, and when you plug into it, magic happens.

Marc Andreessen’s writings often speak about “building a better future” with almost manifest destiny fervor. In that spirit, one can boldly assert: Agentic hackathons will build our future, faster and better. They will accelerate solutions to humanity’s toughest challenges by tapping a broader talent pool and iterating faster than ever. They will empower individuals – giving every creative mind on the planet the tools, community, and opportunity to make a real impact, immediately, not someday. This is deeply democratizing. It resonates with the ethos of the early internet – permissionless innovation. DoraHacks is bringing that ethos to structured innovation events and stretching them into an ongoing fabric.

In conclusion, we are witnessing a paradigm shift: Hackathons reinvented, innovation unchained. The limitations of the old model are gone, replaced by a new paradigm where hackathons are high-frequency, AI-augmented, and outcome-oriented. DoraHacks led this charge in the 2020–2024 period, and with BUIDL AI, it’s launching the next chapter – the Age of Agentic Innovation. For investors and visionaries, this is a call to action. We often talk about investing in “infrastructure” – well, this is investing in the infrastructure of innovation itself. Backing DoraHacks and its mission is akin to backing the builders of a transcontinental railroad or an interstate highway, except this time the cargo is ideas and breakthroughs. The network effects are enormous: every additional hackathon and participant adds value to the whole ecosystem, in a compounding way. It’s a positive-sum game of innovation. And DoraHacks is poised to be the platform and the community that captures and delivers that value globally.

DoraHacks reinvented hackathons – it turned hackathons from sporadic stunts into a sustained methodology for innovation. In doing so, it has thrown open the gates to an era where innovation can be agentic: self-driving, self-organizing, and ceaseless. We are at the dawn of this new age. It’s an age where, indeed, “he who has the developers has the world” [14] – and DoraHacks is making sure that every developer, every hacker, every dreamer anywhere can contribute to shaping our collective future. The grand vista ahead is one of continuous invention and discovery, powered by a global hive mind of hackers and guided by AI. DoraHacks and BUIDL AI stand at the helm of this movement, as the architects of the “innovation rails” on which we’ll ride. It’s not just a platform, it’s a revolutionary infrastructure – the new railroad, the new highway system for ideas. Buckle up, because with DoraHacks driving, the age of agentic innovation has arrived, and the future is hurtling toward us at hackathon speed. The hackathon never ends – and that is how we will invent a better world.

„Huch, das ist ja heute schon wieder vier Jahre her“, hat Dietrich Brüggemann am Dienstag auf X gestöhnt. Und: „Ich für meinen Teil würde es wieder tun.“ Knapp 1400 Herzchen und gut 300 Retweets. Immerhin, einerseits. Andererseits scheint die Aktion #allesdichtmachen verschwunden zu sein aus dem kollektiven Gedächtnis. Es gibt eine Seite auf Rumble, die alle 52 Videos dokumentiert. Zwölf Follower und ein paar Klicks. 66 zum Beispiel für die großartige Kathrin Osterode und ihre Idee, die Inzidenzen in das Familienleben zu tragen und im Fall der Fälle auch die Kinder wegzugeben.

Vielleicht sind es auch schon ein paar mehr, wenn Sie jetzt klicken sollten, um jenen späten April-Abend von 2021 zurückzuholen und das Glück, das zum Greifen nah schien. Ich sehe mich noch auf der Couch sitzen, bereit für das Bett, als der Link kam. Ich konnte nicht mehr aufhören. Prominente, endlich. Und auch noch so viele und so gut. Was daraus geworden ist, habe ich genau ein Jahr später mit Freunden und Kollegen in ein Buch gepackt – noch so ein Versuch, ein Ereignis für die Ewigkeit festzuhalten, das die Öffentlichkeit verändert hat und damit das Land, ein Versuch, der genauso in einer Nische versandet ist wie die Rumble-Seite.

Ich fürchte: Auch beim fünften Geburtstag wird sich niemand an #allesdichtmachen erinnern wollen, abgesehen natürlich von Dietrich Brüggemann und ein paar Ewiggestrigen wie mir. Eigentlich lieben Medien Jahrestage, besonders die runden. Weißt Du noch? Heute vor zehn Jahren? In jedem von uns wohnt ein Nostalgiker, der zurückblicken will, Bilanz ziehen möchte, Ankerpunkte sucht im Strom der Zeit. Die Redaktionen wissen das. Sie sehen es mittlerweile auch, weil sie alles erfassen lassen, was wir mit ihren Beiträgen tun. Die blinkenden Bildschirme in den Meinungsfabriken sagen: Jahrestage gehen immer.

Meine These: #allesdichtmachen bricht diese Regel, obwohl die Aktion alles mitbringt, wonach der Journalismus sucht. Prominenz, Konflikt und Drama mit allem Drum und Dran. Leidenschaft, Tränen und – ja, auch eine historische Dimension. Falls unsere Enkel noch Kulturgeschichten schreiben dürfen, werden sie Brüggemann & Co. nicht aussparen können. Wo gibt es das schon – eine Kunstaktion, die das Land verändert? Nach diesen fünf Tagen im April 2021 wussten alle, wie die Kräfte im Land verteilt sind. Das Wort Diskussionskultur wurde aus dem Duden gestrichen. Und jeder Überlebende der Anti-Axel-Springer-Demos konnte sehen, dass alle Träume der Achtundsechziger wahr geworden sind. Die Bildzeitung hat nichts mehr zu sagen. Etwas akademischer gesprochen: Die Definitionsmachtverhältnisse haben sich geändert – weg von dem Blatt mit den großen Buchstaben und damit von Milieus ohne akademische Abschlüsse oder Bürojobs, hin zu den Leitmedien der Menschen, die in irgendeiner Weise vom Staat abhängen und deshalb Zeit haben, sich eine Wirklichkeit zurechtzutwittern.

Der Reihe nach. 22. April 2021, ein Donnerstag. 15 Minuten vor Mitternacht erscheint #allesdichtmachen in der Onlineausgabe der Bildzeitung. O-Ton: „Mit Ironie, Witz und Sarkasmus hinterfragen Deutschlands bekannteste Schauspielerinnen und Schauspieler die Corona-Politik der Bundesregierung und kritisieren die hiesige Diskussionskultur.“

Die 53 Videos sind da erst ein paar Stunden online, aber zumindest auf der „Haupt-Website der Aktion“ schon nicht mehr abrufbar. „Offenbar gehacked“, schreibt die Bildzeitung und wirbt für YouTube. Außerdem gibt es positive Reaktionen (etwa vom Virologen Jonas Schmidt-Chanasit, der von einem „Meisterwerk“ gesprochen habe) sowie einen Ausblick auf das, was die Leitmedien dann dominieren wird: „Manche User auf Twitter und Facebook versuchen, die Aktion in die Coronaleugner-Ecke zu rücken. Dabei leugnet keiner der Schauspielerinnen und Schauspieler auch nur ansatzweise die Existenz des Coronavirus.“

Heute wissen wir: Bild setzte hier zwar ein Thema, aber nicht den Ton. Anders gesagt: Was am Donnerstagabend noch zu gelten scheint, ist am Freitag nicht mehr wahr. „Wenn man seinen eigenen Shitstorm verschlafen hat“, twittert Manuel Rubey am nächsten Morgen, ein Schauspieler aus Österreich, der in seinem Video fordert, „die Theater, die Museen, die Kinos, die Kabarettbühnen überhaupt nie wieder aufzusperren“. Eine Woche später erklärt Rubey im Wiener Standard seinen Tweet. Gleich nach der Veröffentlichung habe er vor dem Schlafengehen „noch ein bisschen Kommentare gelesen“ und „das Gefühl“ gehabt, „dass es verstanden wird, wie es gemeint war“. Der Tag danach: „ein kafkaesker Albtraum. Kollegen entschuldigten sich privat, dass sie ihre positiven Kommentare nun doch gelöscht hätten.“

An der Bildzeitung hat das nicht gelegen. Die Redaktion blieb bei ihrer Linie und bot Dietrich Brüggemann an Tag fünf (Montag) eine Video-Bühne für eine Art Schlusswort zur Debatte (Länge: über zwölf Minuten), ohne den Regisseur zu denunzieren. Vorher finden sich hier Stimmen, die sonst nirgendwo zu hören waren – etwa Peter-Michael Diestel, letzter DDR-Innenminister, der die „Diskussionskultur beschädigt“ sieht, oder eine PR-Agentin, die ihren „Klienten abgeraten“ hat, „sich in den Sturm zu stellen“.

Geschossen wurde aus allen Rohren – auf Twitter und in den anderen Leitmedien. Tenor: Die Kritik ist ungerechtfertigt und schädlich. Den Beteiligten wurde vorgeworfen, „zynisch“ und „hämisch“ zu sein, die Gesellschaft zu spalten, ohne etwas „Konstruktives“ beizutragen, und nur an sich selbst und „ihre eigene Lage“ zu denken. Dabei wurden Vorurteile gegen Kunst und Künstler aktiviert und Rufmorde inszeniert. „Für mich ist das Kunst aus dem Elfenbeinturm der Privilegierten, ein elitäres Gewimmer“, sagte die Schauspielerin Pegah Ferydoni der Süddeutschen Zeitung. Michael Hanfeld bescheinigte den Schauspielprofis in der FAZ, ihre Texte „peinlich aufgesagt“ zu haben. In der Zeit fiel das Wort „grauenhaft“, und eine Spiegel– Videokolumne sprach sogar von „Waschmittelwerbung“.

In der Bildzeitung ließen Überschriften und Kommentare dagegen keinen Zweifel, wo die Sympathien der Redaktion liegen. „Filmakademie-Präsident geht auf Kollegen los“ steht über der Meldung, dass Ulrich Matthes die Aktion kritisiert hat. Dachzeile: „‚Zynisch‘, ‚komplett naiv und ballaballa‘“. Auf dem Foto wirkt Matthes arrogant und abgehoben – wie ein Köter, der um sich beißt. „Ich bin ein #allesdichtmachen-Fan“, schreibt Bild-Urgestein Franz-Josef Wagner am 25. April über seine Kolumne.

Mehr als zwei Dutzend Artikel über dieses lange Wochenende, die meisten davon Pro. Ralf Schuler, damals dort noch Leiter der Parlamentsredaktion und in jeder Hinsicht ein Schwergewicht, äußert sich gleich zweimal. „Großes Kino!“ sagt er am 23. April. Am nächsten Tag versteht Schuler sein Land nicht mehr: „53 Top-Künstler greifen in Videos die Corona-Stimmung im Lande auf: Kontakt- und Ausgangssperre, Alarmismus, Denunziantentum, wirtschaftliche Not und Ohnmachtsgefühle. Die Antwort: Hass, Shitstorm und ein SPD-Politiker denkt sogar öffentlich über Berufsverbote für die beteiligten Schauspieler nach. Binnen Stunden ziehen die ersten verschreckt ihre Videos zurück, andere distanzieren sich, müssen öffentlich Rechtfertigungen abgeben. Geht’s noch?“ Weiter bei Schuler: „Es ist Aufgabe von Kunst und Satire, dahin zu zielen, wo es wehtut, Stimmungen aufzugreifen und aufzubrechen, Machtworte zu ignorieren und dem Virus nicht das letzte Wort zu lassen. Auch, wenn ein Teil des Zuspruchs von schriller, schräger oder politisch unappetitlicher Seite kommt. Das überhaupt erwähnen zu müssen, beschreibt bereits das Problem: eine Politik, die ihr Tun für alternativlos, ultimativ und einzig wahr hält und Kritiker in den Verdacht stellt, Tod über Deutschland bringen zu wollen.“

Immerhin: Der Lack war endgültig ab von dieser Demokratie. Die Aktion #allesdichtmachen war ein Lehrstück. Rally around the flag, wann immer es die da oben befehlen. Lasst uns in den Kampf ziehen. Gestern gegen ein Virus, heute gegen die Russen und morgen gegen die ganze Welt – oder wenigstens gegen alle, die Fragen stellen, Zweifel haben, nicht laut Hurra rufen. Innerer Frieden? Ab auf den Müllhaufen der Geschichte. Wir sollten diesen Jahrestag feiern, immer wieder.

Practical Privacy and Secure Communications

---

1. Bootable privacy operating systems—Tails, Qubes OS, and Whonix****

This Idea explores the technical deployment of bootable privacy operating systems—Tails, Qubes OS, and Whonix—for individuals and organizations seeking to enhance operational security (OpSec). These systems provide different layers of isolation, anonymity, and confidentiality, critical for cryptographic operations, Bitcoin custody, journalistic integrity, whistleblowing, and sensitive communications. The paper outlines optimal use cases, system requirements, technical architecture, and recommended operational workflows for each OS.

---

2. Running An Operating System

In a digital world where surveillance, metadata leakage, and sophisticated threat models are realities, bootable privacy OSs offer critical mitigation strategies. By running an operating system from a USB, DVD, or external drive—and often entirely in RAM—users can minimize the footprint left on host hardware, dramatically enhancing privacy.

This document details Tails, Qubes OS, and Whonix: three leading open-source projects addressing different aspects of operational security.

Executive Summary

In a world where digital surveillance and privacy threats are escalating, bootable privacy operating systems offer a critical solution for at-risk individuals. Systems like Tails, Qubes OS, and Whonix provide strong, portable security by isolating user activities from compromised or untrusted hardware. This paper explores their architectures, security models, and real-world applications.

---

1. To Recap

Bootable privacy-centric operating systems are designed to protect users from forensic analysis, digital tracking, and unauthorized access. By booting from an external USB drive or DVD and operating independently from the host machine's internal storage, they minimize digital footprints and maximize operational security (OpSec).

This paper provides an in-depth technical analysis of: - Tails (The Amnesic Incognito Live System) - Qubes OS (Security through Compartmentalization) - Whonix (Anonymity via Tor Isolation)

Each system’s strengths, limitations, use cases, and installation methods are explored in detail.

---

2. Technical Overview of Systems

2.1 Tails (The Amnesic Incognito Live System)

Architecture:
- Linux-based Debian derivative. - Boots from USB/DVD, uses RAM exclusively unless persistent storage is manually enabled. - Routes all network traffic through Tor. - Designed to leave no trace unless explicitly configured otherwise.

Key Features:
- Memory erasure on shutdown. - Pre-installed secure applications: Tor Browser, KeePassXC, OnionShare. - Persistent storage available but encrypted and isolated.

Limitations:
- Limited hardware compatibility (especially Wi-Fi drivers). - No support for mobile OS platforms. - ISP visibility to Tor network usage unless bridges are configured.

---

2.2 Qubes OS

Architecture:
- Xen-based hypervisor model. - Security through compartmentalization: distinct "qubes" (virtual machines) isolate tasks and domains (work, personal, banking, etc.). - Networking and USB stacks run in restricted VMs to prevent direct device access.

Key Features:
- Template-based management for efficient updates. - Secure Copy (Qubes RPC) for data movement without exposing full disks. - Integrated Whonix templates for anonymous browsing.

Limitations:
- Requires significant hardware resources (RAM and CPU). - Limited hardware compatibility (strict requirements for virtualization support: VT-d/IOMMU).

---

2.3 Whonix

Architecture:
- Debian-based dual VM system. - One VM (Gateway) routes all traffic through Tor; the second VM (Workstation) is fully isolated from the physical network. - Can be run on top of Qubes OS, VirtualBox, or KVM.

Key Features:
- Complete traffic isolation at the system level. - Strong protections against IP leaks (fails closed if Tor is inaccessible). - Advanced metadata obfuscation options.

Limitations:
- High learning curve for proper configuration. - Heavy reliance on Tor can introduce performance bottlenecks.

---

3. Comparative Analysis

| Feature | Tails | Qubes OS | Whonix | |:--------|:------|:---------|:-------| | Anonymity Focus | High | Medium | High | | System Isolation | Medium | Very High | High | | Persistence | Optional | Full | Optional | | Hardware Requirements | Low | High | Medium | | Learning Curve | Low | High | Medium | | Internet Privacy | Mandatory Tor | Optional Tor | Mandatory Tor |

---

4. Use Cases

| Scenario | Recommended System | |:---------|:--------------------| | Emergency secure browsing | Tails | | Full system compartmentalization | Qubes OS | | Anonymous operations with no leaks | Whonix | | Activist communications from hostile regions | Tails or Whonix | | Secure long-term project management | Qubes OS |

---

5. Installation Overview

5.1 Hardware Requirements

• Tails: Minimum 2GB RAM, USB 2.0 or higher, Intel or AMD x86-64 processor.
• Qubes OS: Minimum 16GB RAM, VT-d/IOMMU virtualization support, SSD storage.
• Whonix: Runs inside VirtualBox or Qubes; requires host compatibility.

5.2 Setup Instructions

Tails: 1. Download latest ISO from tails.net. 2. Verify signature (GPG or in-browser). 3. Use balenaEtcher or dd to flash onto USB. 4. Boot from USB, configure Persistent Storage if necessary.

Qubes OS: 1. Download ISO from qubes-os.org. 2. Verify using PGP signatures. 3. Flash to USB or DVD. 4. Boot and install onto SSD with LUKS encryption enabled.

Whonix: 1. Download both Gateway and Workstation VMs from whonix.org. 2. Import into VirtualBox or a compatible hypervisor. 3. Configure VMs to only communicate through the Gateway.

---

6. Security Considerations

• Tails: Physical compromise of the USB stick is a risk. Use hidden storage if necessary.
• Qubes OS: Qubes is only as secure as its weakest compartment; misconfigured VMs can leak data.
• Whonix: Full reliance on Tor can reveal usage patterns if used carelessly.

Best Practices: - Always verify downloads via GPG. - Use a dedicated, non-personal device where possible. - Utilize Tor bridges if operating under oppressive regimes. - Practice OPSEC consistently—compartmentalization, metadata removal, anonymous communications.

7. Consider

Bootable privacy operating systems represent a critical defense against modern surveillance and oppression. Whether for emergency browsing, long-term anonymous operations, or full-stack digital compartmentalization, solutions like Tails, Qubes OS, and Whonix empower users to reclaim their privacy.

When deployed thoughtfully—with an understanding of each system’s capabilities and risks—these tools can provide an exceptional layer of protection for journalists, activists, security professionals, and everyday users alike.

10. Example: Secure Bitcoin Signing Workflow with Tails

1. Boot Tails from USB.
2. Disconnect from the network.
3. Generate Bitcoin private key or sign transaction using Electrum.
4. Save signed transaction to encrypted USB drive.
5. Shut down to wipe RAM completely.
6. Broadcast transaction from a separate, non-sensitive machine.

This prevents key exposure to malware, man-in-the-middle attacks, and disk forensic analysis.

11. Consider

Bootable privacy operating systems like Tails, Qubes OS, and Whonix offer robust, practical strategies for improving operational security across a wide spectrum of use cases—from Bitcoin custody to anonymous journalism. Their open-source nature, focus on minimizing digital footprints, and mature security architectures make them foundational tools for modern privacy workflows.

Choosing the appropriate OS depends on the specific threat model, hardware available, and user needs. Proper training and discipline remain crucial to maintain the security these systems enable.

Hallo, mein Name ist Zé do Rock, ich bin Brasilianer und Schriftsteller. Meistens erzähl’ ich Geschichten, reelle oder imaginäre, aber mein neues Buch ist eher ein Sachbuch, eine Art Lustsachbuch. In vielen Kapiteln gibt es was zu lachen, in manchen weniger. Zum Beispiel das Kapitel über den Ukraine-Krieg. Es ist eben so, dass man bei Kriegen eher selten die Lust verspürt zu scherzen. Aus dem Buch schreib’ ich jetzt hier ein paar Artikel.

Das neue Buch heißt „Wo bitte geht es hier zur wahrheit?" Es handelt vom Herdenwissen und vom blinden Glauben, den ihm viele Menschen schenken. Ich erzähl’ ungefähr in chronologischer Folge die Fälle in meinem Leben, bei denen ich in Konflikt mit dem Herdenwissen geraten bin. Es geht um die Stereotypen, über Brasilianer, Deutsche, die deutsche Sprache, die eigentlich nur schwierig aber gar nicht exakt ist, die Gendersprache, politische Korrektheit, Verbotswahn, Sicherheitswahn, Ausländer, Krebs, Corona, und am Ende geht es um den Ukraine-Krieg. Und immer gegen die Strömung.

Damit es nicht zu ernst wird, wird es alternierend lockere Erzählungen geben, meist über andere Länder – ich war in 156 von ihnen – und meist aus meinen anderen Büchern. Die sind meistens lustig. Die lockeren Erzählungen über andere Länder haben nicht unbedingt den Frieden oder den Krieg als Thema, sollen aber ein kleiner Beitrag zum Weltfrieden sein. Je besser man ein Land kennt, desto weniger hat man Lust, gegen das Land Krieg zu führen. Man erfährt nämlich, dass dort Menschen wie du und ich leben.

Das Buch hat eine Besonderheit, es ist in 17 verschiedenen Sprachvarianten und fusionierten Sprachen geschrieben, alles mit simultaner Übersetzung auf Normaldeutsch. In diesen Artikeln werd’ ich auch etwas anders schreiben, und wir fangen mit wunschdeutsch an: Ich hab’ 20 000 Zuschauer in meinen Showlesungen über viele verschiedene Rechtschreibänderungen abstimmen lassen und daraus ein basisdemokratisches Deutsch kreiert. Das ist so wie die Deutschen schreiben würden, wenn sie wüssten, dass sie schreiben dürfen, wie sie schreiben wollen.

Erstmal führen wir eine grundsätzliche Änderung ein, die für jedes meiner Systeme funktioniert. Regel 1: Substantive werden kleingeschrieben. Satzanfang, eigennamen und abkürzungen wie IBM oder BMW bleiben groß. Im englischen werden auch wochentage, monate großgeschrieben, sogar nationalitäten (the Germans), das ist alles im wunschdeutschen nicht der fall.

Und wir fangen mit dem buchstaben A an. Wir fügen A ein, nehmen es weg, oder ersetzen einen buchstaben durch A. In der praxis nehmen wir eine handvoll A's weg: Ich hab’ ein par ale im großen sal gekauft, die werden vom stat subventioniert. Viele leute kritisieren, dass eine reform die etymologie zerstört, und manchmal passiert das, aber oft auch bringt man die etymologie zurück. Das wort „stat“ kommt vom lateinischen “status“, da ist auch nur ein A. “Staat“ mit 2 A zerstört diese etymologie. Oder „sal“: so haben wir „sal“ mit einem A und „säle“ mit einem Ä. Wenn saal mit zwei A geschrieben wird, warum nicht „sääle“ mit zwei Ä? Aber machen wir's doch einfach: „al“ und „sal“ wie „tal“ und “mal“. Wenn der vokal kurz ist, schreiben wir mit einem doppelkonsonanten danach: all, ball, drall.

Außerdem verwend’ ich für fast alle meine systeme die IGEN, Internationale Geografische Nomenklatur, die ich selber entwickelt hab’. Ich ärger’ mich immer wieder zum beispiel bei flugportalen, ich will zum beispiel nach Mailand, im flugportal heißt es aber Milan, Milano, Milão oder ähnlich. In der IGEN schreibt man im prinzip wie die lokale bevölkerung ihr land oder ihre stadt nennt, aber es gibt ein par sonderregeln, zum beispiel für sprachen, die nicht mit dem römischen alphabet geschrieben werden. Jedenfalls müsste der deutsche nicht jedesmal lernen wie er sein land in anderen sprachen nennt, zum beispiel Saksa in Finnland, Niemcy in Polen oder Almanya auf arabisch: es wär’ immer Deutschland. Und Mailand heißt dann Milan, nicht wegen englisch, sondern weil es so im lokalen lombardischen dialekt heißt.

Aber wir backen erstmal kleine brötchen und fangen mit A an. Ukraine gehört zu den ländern mit kyrillischem alphabet, kategorie B. Dafür hab ich feste transkriptionsregeln, und da Ukraina sich im original mit A am ende schreibt, wird es auch in der IGEN so geschrieben: Ukraina, Serbia. Wenn wir zum N kommen, können wir das N von Russland nehmen und Russia schreiben. Nicht wie im englischen ausgesprochen, sondern ru-ssi-a.

Und jetzt zum heutigen thema: ich hab eine sendung von Sandra Maischberger gesehen, wo sie Katrin Göring-Eckart und Sahra Wagenknecht interviewt. Die Sahra gehört zu den ganz wenigen relativis, die von den leitmedien interviewt werden. Was sind hier relativis? Ich dachte, wenn ich putinversteher sagen würde, müsste ich die anderen putinhasser nennen, aber beide wörter sind negativ besetzt, und ich will niemanden beschimpfen. Auch wenn ich es für ziemlich symptomatisch halte, dass das wort „versteher“ jetzt negativ besetzt ist. Daher nenn ich die putinversteher relativis, und die putinhasser die absolutis: es gibt nur einen grund für alle übel, und der heißt Putin. Manche werden wahrscheinlich sogar sagen, er ist schuld wenn es regnet. Die leitmedien montieren oft eine sendung, um die wenigen relativis wie Sahra kleinzukriegen: moderator gegen sie, und alle 3 oder 4 anderen gäste gegen sie, und man wird instruiert, sie nicht zu ende reden zu lassen. Warum man sie überhaupt einlädt, scheint mir klar: wenn man die parteien außerhalb des systems vom öffentlichen diskurs komplett entfernt, werden sich viele sagen, ja, mit der demokratie ist es endgültig vorbei.

Bei der Sandra Maischberger war’s aber nicht so. Sie hat manchmal die Sahra unterbrochen, aber die Sahra hat etwas mehr gesprochen als von Sandra erwünscht, es gibt ja die ganzen zeitvorgaben vom sender, OK. Die Sandra gehört sicher nicht zu den hardcore-falken. Aber sie hat der Sahra eine frage gestellt, wieso sie sich geirrt hat – kurz vor der invasion hat sie gesagt, der Putin wird nicht einmarschieren, warum sollte er? Ja, sie hat sich geirrt und ich auch, ich musste sogar einem freund ein bier wegen einer wette zahlen. Und warum? Weil ich schlecht informiert war, und ich war schlecht informiert weil die leitmedien schlecht informiert haben. Bis zum krieg hab ich mich mit dem thema kaum befasst, und alles, was ich wusste, war von den leitmedien. Und da gab es einige versäumnisse: ich wusste nicht, dass die amerikaner eine menge militärberater in die Ukraina geschickt hatten, die ihre camps zu echten militärbasen ausgebaut haben. Dann wusste ich nicht wie die amerikaner schon das land im griff hatten. Zum beispiel der sohn von Joe Biden, der schon mal ein junkie war und angeblich nicht mehr ist. Der war vorstand beim ukrainischen gaskonzern Burisma, von dem man wiederum sagt, dass der heimliche chef Ihor Kolomoisky ist, der wiederum der größte sponsor von Selensky bei den wahlen war. Alles in der familie. Bei Burisma soll es korruption gegeben haben, und der generalstatsanwalt Viktor Schokin hat dagegen ermittelt. Joe Biden hat vermutlich gedroht, das kreditpaket von einer milliarde nicht freizugeben, wenn der Schokin nicht gefeuert wird – angeblich weil er zu wenig gegen korruption tat. Schokin wurde gefeuert, und man versuchte angeblich mehrmals, ihn umzubringen. Der nachfolger von Schokin ermittelte nicht mehr gegen Burisma. Und die Ukraina ist immer noch korrupter als die meisten länder der welt.

Vor 10 jahren war die Ukraina laut Transparency International korrupter als Russland, aber inzwischen haben sich alle feinde Russlands stark verbessert, Russland und seine freunde, wie Belarus, Iran, Nicaragua usw. sind alle in den tabellen gestürzt. Vielleicht wären diese werte etwas anders, wenn Transparency International ihre zentrale nicht in einem NATO-land hätte, Deutschland.

Was ich aber auch nicht wusste, war, und das war absolut entscheidend, dass am 17. dezember 2021 Putin einen brief an die NATO geschickt hat: da waren mehrere forderungen, die auf einen dauerhaften frieden zielten. Im prinzip war die message: entweder wir verhandeln über die Osterweiterung oder Russland marschiert in die Ukraina ein. Am 7. januar 2022, also ein par wochen später, hat die NATO geantwortet: Russland hat kein mitspracherecht in der NATO.

Die NATO schreit in panik, „oh, die ganzen russischen panzer an der ukrainischen grenze! Die russen werden einmarschieren!“ Dann sagt Putin, „leute, wir verhandeln oder ich marschier’ ein“, und plötzlich ist die angst vollkommen weg: dass der Putin angreift, hm, das wird er doch nicht wagen, oder? Ein par tage später gibt man dem Putin eine antwort, dass er nix zu piepen hat, und dann war wieder die stimmung zurück: Oh, die russen werden einmarschieren!

Klar, der Putin musste einmarschieren, sonst hätte ihn die ganze welt nicht mehr ernst genommen, und er hätte sich nicht mehr in Russland blicken lassen können. Also man liefert die Ukraina ans messer, und tut so, als hätte der krieg nichts mit der entscheidung der NATO zu tun? Sind die europäischen statschefs komplett verblödet? Ich kann es mir nur so erklären: Washington, und damit mein ich die amerikanische regierung, den deep state, der militärisch-industrielle komplex und die erdölkonzerne, also Washington hat einfach die parole ausgegeben: Dieser brief hat keine bedeutung, diese "regionalmacht" Russland tut nix. Und wenn du glaubst, ich bin ein verschwörungstheoretiker, weil ich sage, der militärisch-industrielle komplex hat eine enorme macht in den USA, dann kann ich gerne einen amerikanischen präsidenten in seiner abschiedsrede zitieren:

"Wir in den Institutionen der Regierung müssen uns vor unbefugtem Einfluss – beabsichtigt oder unbeabsichtigt – durch den militärisch-industriellen Komplex schützen. Das Potenzial für die katastrophale Zunahme fehlgeleiteter Kräfte ist vorhanden und wird weiterhin bestehen. Wir dürfen es nie zulassen, dass die Macht dieser Kombination unsere Freiheiten oder unsere demokratischen Prozesse gefährdet."

Das war Dwight Eisenhower. Also wir hier in der provinz wissen, was sache ist, und ein amerikanischer präsident ist ein verschwörungstheoretiker, der nichts von den verhältnissen in Washington weiß?

Die NATO-lenker haben nach dem brief von Putin die parole ausgegeben, „wir haben von dieser regionalmacht nichts zu befürchten“, und die europäischen politiker haben gesagt, „wenn der chef das sagt, dann wird es schon stimmen! Keine sorge, ist alles OK.“ Die medien haben schon ein bisschen darüber berichtet, aber die stimmung von den politikern übernommen: „es ist alles im grünen bereich! Ja, ja, der Putin jammert viel wenn der tag lang ist.“ Ich hab nix darüber gelesen, und offensichtlich die meisten, keiner hat mir davon erzählt. Und so hab ich falsch gewettet.

Die NATO sagt, sie kümmert sich um die sicherheit der Ukraina, deswegen muss man über einen beitritt nachdenken. Heißen hunderttausende tote in der meinung der NATO sicherheit für die Ukraina? Wär’ die neutralität gefährlich für das land? War sie bis jetzt gefährlich für die Schweiz, für Österreich? Nein, Putin verkauft sogar verbilligtes öl an sie, wie auch an ganz Europa, wenn sie wollen, um die freundschaft mit Europa zu fördern. Mein land Brasilien ist auch neutral, weder hilft es der NATO noch hilft es Russland. Und Russland ist nicht in Brasilien einmarschiert, ganz im gegenteil: brasilianer dürfen Russland ohne visum besuchen, russen dürfen Brasilien ohne visum besuchen. Es ist doch so einfach: wenn du das andere land gut behandelst, wirst du auch von dem gut behandelt.

Man muss sich das ganze so vorstellen: ein typ lässt seinen hund über den zaun springen, wo er den hasen vom nachbarn terrorisiert. Der hasenbesitzer bittet den hundebesitzer, den hund daran zu hindern, dem hundebesitzer ist das wurscht. Über 24 jahre (hund und hase sind schon in rente gegangen, leben aber noch) werden die proteste vom hasenbesitzer immer lauter, bis er keine alternative mehr sieht, als zu drohen, den hund zu erschießen. Dem hundebesitzer ist das auch wurscht. Und eines tages erschießt der hasenbesitzer den hund. Der hundebesitzer verklagt den hasenbesitzer. Richter, anwälte und das publikum, darunter viele nachbarn, mögen verschiedene meinungen haben, ob das rechtens war, aber in einem sind sie sich alle einig: der hasenbesitzer hat den hund erschossen weil der seinen hasen terrorisiert hat. Die nachbarn haben die proteste und drohungen gehört, alle wissen es. Der hundebesitzer aber sagt, das hat nix mit dem hasen des nachbarn zu tun, der hasenbesitzer hat den hund nur erschossen weil er böse ist und das ganze viertel erobern will. Äh? Man will das viertel erobern, in dem man den hund vom nachbarn erschießt? Man würde sich ernsthaft überlegen, ob man den mann nicht in die klapse steckt.

Das passiert aber nicht, und viele leute im publikum lassen sich sogar vom hundebesitzer überzeugen, dass er recht hat. Nicht, weil er die bessere logik hat – der hat überhaupt keine logik –, sondern weil er alle medien in der stadt kontrolliert, und es wird tausendmal am tag herausposaunt, dass der hasenbesitzer böse ist und das viertel erobern will. Und zurück zu unserer welt: dieser hundebesitzer ist das machtkonglomerat in Washington.

Die USA beschäftigen 27 000 oder 30 000 PR-leute in der welt – je nach quelle – um die politik der USA zu beschönigen, und die politik ihrer feinde zu verhässlichen. Und diese leute, die größtenteils in den USA und in Europa tätig sind, haben ganze arbeit geleistet. Sie haben viele leute überzeugt, dass Putin grundlos die Ukraina angegriffen hat, obwohl schon Jelcin 10 jahre lang und dann Putin 24 jahre lang gegen die umzingelung Russlands durch die NATO protestiert haben. Und klar, man verteilt geld an die medien, damit sie auf linie gebracht werden, man kauft sich über verschlungene wege mit aktien in den medien ein. Natürlich investiert man auch in propaganda in anderen ländern ausserhalb der NATO – es gibt auch eine brasilianische BBC und eine brasilianische CNN – aber nicht genug: in Brasilien ist die große mehrheit der meinung, das ist ein konflikt zwischen Russland und NATO. Ich war seit kriegsbeginn in 12 nicht-NATO-ländern, und viele menschen juckt es überhaupt nicht, ein krieg mehr oder ein krieg weniger. Aber für die meisten, die eine meinung haben, ist das klar ein konflikt zwischen Russland und NATO. Und dass ausgerechnet europäer und amerikaner die guten in der welt sind, das denken sehr, sehr wenige menschen im rest der welt, und das sind 90% der weltbevölkerung. Das ist das schlimmste, diese sicherheit von vielen europäern und amerikanern: die denke ist, wir sind die guten, sie sind die bösen. Fast jeder krieg hat so begonnen und fast jeder krieg ist so am leben gehalten worden, bis mehr oder weniger alles kaputt war. Und das scheint das ziel zu sein.

Übrigens: ich hab mich geirrt, und geb es zu. Die NATO und die NATO-gläubigen irren sich auch mit ihrem wunschdenken, reden aber lieber nicht darüber: man hat mehrere länder in Nahost und drumherum attackiert und bombardiert, angeblich um frieden und demokratie zu bringen, und was hat man denen gebracht? Chaos und eine menge tote. 2023 sollte die frühlingsoffensive der ukrainer kommen, und ich hab nur gehört: „Wir werden jetzt die russen verjagen!" Da konnte ich mir nur denken, „pustekuchen!“ Die ukrainer haben es in 8 jahren nicht geschafft, Donezk und Lugansk zurück zu nehmen, wie lange brauchen sie, um ein 10mal größeres gebiet zurück zu erobern? Die russische armee ist die zweitgrößte der welt, um sie zu besiegen müssten wir auf der Ukraina eine noch größere armee, die zweitgrößte armee der welt aufstellen, stärker als die russische. In der ganzen geschichte der menschheit hab ich noch nie von so was gehört, und das würde viel, viel geld kosten, aber wenigstens hätte man das problem mit den flüchtlingen gelöst, sie würden nicht mehr zu uns kommen, sondern wir zu ihnen, weil man in Europa nichts mehr zum essen hätte.

Das war's für heute. Der nächste artikel ist über die saudie araber.

A Secure, Compact, and Cost-Effective Offline Key Management System

---

1. Idea

This idea presents a cryptographic key generation appliance built on the Nookbox G9, a compact 1U mini NAS solution. Designed to be a dedicated air-gapped or offline-first device, this system enables the secure generation and handling of RSA, ECDSA, and Ed25519 key pairs. By leveraging the Nookbox G9's small form factor, NVMe storage, and Linux compatibility, we outline a practical method for individuals and organizations to deploy secure, reproducible, and auditable cryptographic processes without relying on cloud or always-connected environments.

---

2. Minimization Of Trust

In an era where cryptographic operations underpin everything from Bitcoin transactions to secure messaging, generating keys in a trust-minimized environment is critical. Cloud-based solutions or general-purpose desktops expose key material to increased risk. This project defines a dedicated hardware appliance for cryptographic key generation using Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) and a tightly scoped threat model.

---

3. Hardware Overview: Nookbox G9

| Feature | Specification | |-----------------------|----------------------------------------------------| | Form Factor | 1U Mini NAS | | Storage Capacity | Up to 8TB via 4 × 2TB M.2 NVMe SSDs | | PCIe Interface | Each M.2 slot uses PCIe Gen 3x2 | | Networking | Dual 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet | | Cooling | Passive cooling (requires modification for load) | | Operating System | Windows 11 pre-installed; compatible with Linux |

This hardware is chosen for its compact size, multiple SSD support, and efficient power consumption (~11W idle on Linux). It fits easily into a secure rack cabinet and can run entirely offline.

---

4. System Configuration

4.1 OS & Software Stack

We recommend wiping Windows and installing:

• OS: Ubuntu 24.10 LTS or Debian 12
• Key Tools:
• gnupg (for GPG, RSA, and ECC)
• age or rage (for modern encryption)
• openssl (general-purpose cryptographic tool)
• ssh-keygen (for Ed25519 or RSA SSH keys)
• vault (optional: HashiCorp Vault for managing key secrets)
• pwgen / diceware (for secure passphrase generation)

4.2 Storage Layout

• Drive 1 (System): Ubuntu 24.10 with encrypted LUKS partition
• Drive 2 (Key Store): Encrypted Veracrypt volume for keys and secrets
• Drive 3 (Backup): Offline encrypted backup (mirrored or rotated)
• Drive 4 (Logs & Audit): System logs, GPG public keyring, transparency records

---

5. Security Principles

• Air-Gapping: Device operates disconnected from the internet during key generation.
• FOSS Only: All software used is open-source and auditable.
• No TPM/Closed Firmware Dependencies: BIOS settings disable Intel ME, TPM, and Secure Boot.
• Tamper Evidence: Physical access logs and optional USB kill switch setup.
• Transparency: Generation scripts stored on device, along with SHA256 of all outputs.

---

6. Workflow: Generating Keypairs

Example: Generating an Ed25519 GPG Key

```bash gpg --full-generate-key

Choose ECC > Curve: Ed25519

Set expiration, user ID, passphrase

```

Backup public and private keys:

bash gpg --armor --export-secret-keys [keyID] > private.asc gpg --armor --export [keyID] > public.asc sha256sum *.asc > hashes.txt

Store on encrypted volume and create a printed copy (QR or hex dump) for physical backup.

---

7. Performance Notes

While limited to PCIe Gen 3x2 (approx. 1.6 GB/s per slot), the speed is more than sufficient for key generation workloads. The bottleneck is not IO-bound but entropy-limited and CPU-bound. In benchmarks:

• RSA 4096 generation: ~2–3 seconds
• Ed25519 generation: <1 second
• ZFS RAID-Z writes (if used): ~250MB/s due to 2.5Gbps NIC ceiling

Thermal throttling may occur under extended loads without cooling mods. A third-party aluminum heatsink resolves this.

---

8. Use Cases

• Bitcoin Cold Storage (xprv/xpub, seed phrases)
• SSH Key Infrastructure (Ed25519 key signing for orgs)
• PGP Trust Anchor (for a Web of Trust or private PKI)
• Certificate Authority (offline root key handling)
• Digital Notary Service (hash-based time-stamping)

---

9. Recommendations & Improvements

| Area | Improvement | |-------------|--------------------------------------| | Cooling | Add copper heatsinks + airflow mod | | Power | Use UPS + power filter for stability | | Boot | Use full-disk encryption with Yubikey unlock | | Expansion | Use one SSD for keybase-style append-only logs | | Chassis | Install into a tamper-evident case with RFID tracking |

---

10. Consider

The Nookbox G9 offers a compact, energy-efficient platform for creating a secure cryptographic key generation appliance. With minor thermal enhancements and a strict FOSS policy, it becomes a reliable workstation for cryptographers, developers, and Bitcoin self-custodians. Its support for multiple encrypted SSDs, air-gapped operation, and Linux flexibility make it a modern alternative to enterprise HSMs—without the cost or vendor lock-in.

---

A. Key Software Versions

• GnuPG 2.4.x
• OpenSSL 3.x
• Ubuntu 24.10
• Veracrypt 1.26+

B. System Commands (Setup)

bash sudo apt install gnupg2 openssl age veracrypt sudo cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/nvme1n1

C. Resources

• Veracrypt Documentation
• GPG Manual
• Ed25519 Explained

The Nookbox G9 epitomizes a compact yet sophisticated energy-efficient computational architecture, meticulously designed to serve as a secure cryptographic key generation appliance. By integrating minor yet impactful thermal enhancements, it ensures optimal performance stability while adhering to a stringent Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) policy, thereby positioning itself as a reliable workstation specifically tailored for cryptographers, software developers, and individuals engaged in Bitcoin self-custody. Its capability to support multiple encrypted Solid State Drives (SSDs) facilitates an augmented data security framework, while the air-gapped operational feature significantly enhances its resilience against potential cyber threats. Furthermore, the inherent flexibility of Linux operating systems not only furnishes an adaptable environment for various cryptographic applications but also serves as a compelling modern alternative to conventional enterprise Hardware Security Modules (HSMs), ultimately bypassing the prohibitive costs and vendor lock-in typically associated with such proprietary solutions.
