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.

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.

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.

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.

---

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.

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)

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.

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.

The phrase “New Music Economy” seems to be popping up more frequently lately. It caught our attention recently when we noticed others using it to describe shifts in the music industry—more control for artists, fewer intermediaries, and innovative tools for direct fan engagement.

Initially, we were intrigued but sceptical. What they described didn’t quite feel like a true economy. Was it really something new, or just a repackaging of old systems with modern tools?

This curiosity led us to dig deeper. We came across some of the term’s earliest uses, including a 2007 report titled “Social Interactions in the New Music Economy“ and a 2008 blog post by venture capitalist Fred Wilson. Both framed the “New Music Economy” as a reaction to the traditional industry’s inefficiencies and barriers, championing decentralisation and direct artist-to-fan relationships.

Fred Wilson, for instance, described the “New Music Economy” as an era where artists could bypass labels and connect directly with fans via platforms like SoundCloud, Bandcamp, and Kickstarter. While groundbreaking at the time, these solutions still relied heavily on legacy financial systems. The flow of value was streamlined, but the underlying economic structure—centralised payment processors, fiat currencies, and reliance on intermediaries—remained intact.

This made us realise something important: without fundamentally rethinking the financial layer, what we’ve seen as the “New Music Economy” is really just a better ecosystem. Bitcoin, however, has the potential to transform it into a true economy.

What Defines an Economy?

An economy isn’t just a system—it’s an infrastructure for creating, exchanging, and preserving value. Historically, the “New Music Economy” has been more about redistributing control than reinventing the infrastructure itself. Platforms like Spotify or Patreon help artists reach audiences and earn money, but they remain bound by centralised, fiat-based frameworks.

Fred Wilson and others rightly pointed out that artists no longer need gatekeepers like major labels. But what was left unsaid is that they’re still beholden to payment processors, inflationary currencies, and the rules of the traditional financial system.

Take, for instance, the concept of “fairness” in royalties. Artists rely on complex systems managed by labels and platforms to determine how much they’re owed. This creates an inherent opacity, and disputes over unpaid royalties or missing revenue streams are common.

And let’s not forget geography. Artists in emerging markets are often excluded from the global music economy due to a lack of accessible payment systems or expensive remittance fees.

This is where Bitcoin steps in to change the equation.

Bitcoin: The Financial Layer the Music Industry Needs?

Bitcoin does more than streamline payments—it replaces the entire financial layer with one that’s decentralised, global, and incorruptible. Here’s how it transforms the “New Music Economy” into something truly new:

• Censorship Resistance: With Bitcoin, artists can receive payments directly, bypassing platforms that can freeze or block funds (a real risk with PayPal, Patreon, or even banks). This is especially vital for artists in politically or economically unstable regions.
• Global Accessibility: Fans can support artists without worrying about remittance fees, currency conversions, or banking infrastructure. Bitcoin opens up a global marketplace for music.
• Deflationary Currency: Unlike fiat, Bitcoin isn’t subject to inflation. What an artist earns today won’t lose value tomorrow—it may even appreciate, making it a reliable store of value for long-term financial stability.
• Immutable Royalties: Bitcoin’s programmable nature allows for smart contracts. Artists can automate royalty splits and ensure they’re paid instantly and transparently whenever their work is sold or streamed.

Imagine a world where every time a song is streamed, payment flows instantly and directly to the artist, producers, and collaborators. No waiting months for a royalty cheque, no confusing statements, and no middlemen taking a cut.

Fred Wilson’s vision of artists controlling their own destinies was ahead of its time. But Bitcoin takes it a step further, addressing the economic shortcomings of platforms by creating a financial system that artists and fans can truly own.

Expanding the Vision with Real-World Examples

Let’s look at a practical scenario. An independent artist uploads their music to a decentralised streaming platform powered by Bitcoin. Every stream automatically triggers a micropayment through the Lightning Network, or other Bitcoin Layer 2’s splitting revenue between the artist and their collaborators according to a smart contract. Fans can also tip directly, sending Bitcoin with no middleman fees or delays.

Or consider an artist in a country with hyperinflation. Without access to stable banking systems, their earnings in local currency rapidly lose value. With Bitcoin, they have a deflationary currency that retains its worth, empowering them to support their craft sustainably.

For fans, Bitcoin creates new opportunities to engage directly with their favourite artists. Imagine buying concert tickets or exclusive content directly from an artist’s website using Bitcoin, without the inflated fees of ticketing platforms.

This approach isn’t just theoretical. Platforms exploring decentralised music solutions are already experimenting with these concepts, hinting at the vast potential of a truly Bitcoin-powered music industry.

The even further takeaway is that deeper-diving musicians, who understand the importance of running and operating their own Bitcoin nodes, never have to trust any platforms whatsoever with uploads either. Through protocols like V4V and Podcasting 2.0, musicians could in fact keep all of their masters on their own hard drive or server and stream them across every major platform with a feed.

Just these things at the tip of the iceberg with Bitcoin already brings being both the platform and the payment processor directly into the hands of the artists themselves; the bonus is that they can also be on every streaming platform at the same time without ever signing up to or involving another entity.

Without Bitcoin, It’s Just a System Upgrade

Let’s be honest: without Bitcoin, the “New Music Economy” doesn’t quite live up to its name. It’s still reliant on intermediaries—banks, payment processors, and fiat currencies—that introduce friction, fees, and vulnerabilities.

Sure, platforms like Patreon or Bandcamp make it easier for artists to earn, but they’re not fundamentally changing how value flows. It’s more accurate to call this a “New Music Ecosystem”—an improvement but still tethered to the old system.

Bitcoin flips the narrative. It removes gatekeepers entirely, enabling a direct, censorship-resistant, and inflation-proof flow of value between artists and fans. It’s not just a tool for payments; it’s the foundation of a new, decentralised financial infrastructure.

A Revolutionary Shift, or New Music Economy?

Fred Wilson’s early vision and the 2007 discussions around the “New Music Economy” planted the seeds for artist empowerment. But Bitcoin brings those ideas to their logical conclusion, creating a truly global and sovereign economic framework for music.

So, is the term “New Music Economy” overused or misunderstood? Without Bitcoin, it might be. But with Bitcoin, we’re looking at something genuinely revolutionary—an economy that finally lives up to its promise.

The question now is: are we ready to embrace it?

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.

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%

Introduction

Data Vending Machines (DVMs) have emerged as a crucial component of the Nostr ecosystem, offering specialized computational services to clients across the network. As defined in NIP-90, DVMs operate on an apparently simple principle: "data in, data out." They provide a marketplace for data processing where users request specific jobs (like text translation, content recommendation, or AI text generation)

While DVMs have gained significant traction, the current specification faces challenges that hinder widespread adoption and consistent implementation. This article explores some ideas on how we can apply the reflection pattern, a well established approach in RPC systems, to address these challenges and improve the DVM ecosystem's clarity, consistency, and usability.

The Current State of DVMs: Challenges and Limitations

The NIP-90 specification provides a broad framework for DVMs, but this flexibility has led to several issues:

1. Inconsistent Implementation

As noted by hzrd149 in "DVMs were a mistake" every DVM implementation tends to expect inputs in slightly different formats, even while ostensibly following the same specification. For example, a translation request DVM might expect an event ID in one particular format, while an LLM service could expect a "prompt" input that's not even specified in NIP-90.

2. Fragmented Specifications

The DVM specification reserves a range of event kinds (5000-6000), each meant for different types of computational jobs. While creating sub-specifications for each job type is being explored as a possible solution for clarity, in a decentralized and permissionless landscape like Nostr, relying solely on specification enforcement won't be effective for creating a healthy ecosystem. A more comprehensible approach is needed that works with, rather than against, the open nature of the protocol.

3. Ambiguous API Interfaces

There's no standardized way for clients to discover what parameters a specific DVM accepts, which are required versus optional, or what output format to expect. This creates uncertainty and forces developers to rely on documentation outside the protocol itself, if such documentation exists at all.

The Reflection Pattern: A Solution from RPC Systems

The reflection pattern in RPC systems offers a compelling solution to many of these challenges. At its core, reflection enables servers to provide metadata about their available services, methods, and data types at runtime, allowing clients to dynamically discover and interact with the server's API.

In established RPC frameworks like gRPC, reflection serves as a self-describing mechanism where services expose their interface definitions and requirements. In MCP reflection is used to expose the capabilities of the server, such as tools, resources, and prompts. Clients can learn about available capabilities without prior knowledge, and systems can adapt to changes without requiring rebuilds or redeployments. This standardized introspection creates a unified way to query service metadata, making tools like grpcurl possible without requiring precompiled stubs.

How Reflection Could Transform the DVM Specification

By incorporating reflection principles into the DVM specification, we could create a more coherent and predictable ecosystem. DVMs already implement some sort of reflection through the use of 'nip90params', which allow clients to discover some parameters, constraints, and features of the DVMs, such as whether they accept encryption, nutzaps, etc. However, this approach could be expanded to provide more comprehensive self-description capabilities.

1. Defined Lifecycle Phases

Similar to the Model Context Protocol (MCP), DVMs could benefit from a clear lifecycle consisting of an initialization phase and an operation phase. During initialization, the client and DVM would negotiate capabilities and exchange metadata, with the DVM providing a JSON schema containing its input requirements. nip-89 (or other) announcements can be used to bootstrap the discovery and negotiation process by providing the input schema directly. Then, during the operation phase, the client would interact with the DVM according to the negotiated schema and parameters.

2. Schema-Based Interactions

Rather than relying on rigid specifications for each job type, DVMs could self-advertise their schemas. This would allow clients to understand which parameters are required versus optional, what type validation should occur for inputs, what output formats to expect, and what payment flows are supported. By internalizing the input schema of the DVMs they wish to consume, clients gain clarity on how to interact effectively.

3. Capability Negotiation

Capability negotiation would enable DVMs to advertise their supported features, such as encryption methods, payment options, or specialized functionalities. This would allow clients to adjust their interaction approach based on the specific capabilities of each DVM they encounter.

Implementation Approach

While building DVMCP, I realized that the RPC reflection pattern used there could be beneficial for constructing DVMs in general. Since DVMs already follow an RPC style for their operation, and reflection is a natural extension of this approach, it could significantly enhance and clarify the DVM specification.

A reflection enhanced DVM protocol could work as follows: 1. Discovery: Clients discover DVMs through existing NIP-89 application handlers, input schemas could also be advertised in nip-89 announcements, making the second step unnecessary. 2. Schema Request: Clients request the DVM's input schema for the specific job type they're interested in 3. Validation: Clients validate their request against the provided schema before submission 4. Operation: The job proceeds through the standard NIP-90 flow, but with clearer expectations on both sides

Parallels with Other Protocols

This approach has proven successful in other contexts. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) implements a similar lifecycle with capability negotiation during initialization, allowing any client to communicate with any server as long as they adhere to the base protocol. MCP and DVM protocols share fundamental similarities, both aim to expose and consume computational resources through a JSON-RPC-like interface, albeit with specific differences.

gRPC's reflection service similarly allows clients to discover service definitions at runtime, enabling generic tools to work with any gRPC service without prior knowledge. In the REST API world, OpenAPI/Swagger specifications document interfaces in a way that makes them discoverable and testable.

DVMs would benefit from adopting these patterns while maintaining the decentralized, permissionless nature of Nostr.

Conclusion

I am not attempting to rewrite the DVM specification; rather, explore some ideas that could help the ecosystem improve incrementally, reducing fragmentation and making the ecosystem more comprehensible. By allowing DVMs to self describe their interfaces, we could maintain the flexibility that makes Nostr powerful while providing the structure needed for interoperability.

For developers building DVM clients or libraries, this approach would simplify consumption by providing clear expectations about inputs and outputs. For DVM operators, it would establish a standard way to communicate their service's requirements without relying on external documentation.

I am currently developing DVMCP following these patterns. Of course, DVMs and MCP servers have different details; MCP includes capabilities such as tools, resources, and prompts on the server side, as well as 'roots' and 'sampling' on the client side, creating a bidirectional way to consume capabilities. In contrast, DVMs typically function similarly to MCP tools, where you call a DVM with an input and receive an output, with each job type representing a different categorization of the work performed.

Without further ado, I hope this article has provided some insight into the potential benefits of applying the reflection pattern to the DVM specification.

@ b2caa9b3:9eab0fb5

Yesterday, I faced one of the most heartbreaking and frustrating experiences of my life. Between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM, I was held at the Taveta border, denied entry into Kenya—despite having all the necessary documents, including a valid visitor’s permit and an official invitation letter.

The Kenyan Immigration officers refused to speak with me. When I asked for clarification, I was told flatly that I would never be allowed to enter Kenya unless I obtain a work permit. No other reason was given. My attempts to explain that I simply wanted to see my child were ignored. No empathy. No flexibility. No conversation. Just rejection.

While I stood there for hours, held by officials with no explanation beyond a bureaucratic wall, I recorded the experience. I now have several hours of footage documenting what happened—a silent testimony to how a system can dehumanize and block basic rights.

And the situation doesn’t end at the border.

My child, born in Kenya, is also being denied the right to see me. Germany refuses to grant her citizenship, which means she cannot visit me either. The German embassy in Nairobi refuses to assist, stating they won’t get involved. Their silence is loud.

This is not just about paperwork. This is about a child growing up without her father. It’s about a system that chooses walls over bridges, and bureaucracy over humanity. Kenya, by refusing me entry, is keeping a father away from his child. Germany, by refusing to act under §13 StGB, is complicit in that injustice.

In the coming days, I’ll share more about my past travels and how this situation unfolded. I’ll also be releasing videos and updates on TikTok—because this story needs to be heard. Not just for me, but for every parent and child caught between borders and bureaucracies.

Stay tuned—and thank you for standing with me.

How to Import and Export Your Nostr Notes

This guide will help you import your notes from various Nostr relays and export them into your own relay. This is particularly useful when you want to ensure your content is backed up or when you're setting up your own relay.

Prerequisite

Your own Nostr relay (if you don't have one, check out Part 1: How to Run Your Own Nostr Relay)

Installing nak

nak is a command-line tool that helps you interact with Nostr relays. Here's how to install it:

For Windows Users

1. Visit the nak releases page
2. Download the latest nak-windows-amd64.exe
3. Rename it to nak.exe
4. Move it to a directory in your PATH or use it from its current location

For macOS Users

1. Visit the nak releases page
2. Download the latest nak-darwin-amd64
3. Open Terminal and run: bash chmod +x nak-darwin-amd64 sudo mv nak-darwin-amd64 /usr/local/bin/nak

For Linux Users

1. Visit the nak releases page
2. Download the latest nak-linux-amd64
3. Open Terminal and run: bash chmod +x nak-linux-amd64 sudo mv nak-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/nak

Getting Your Public Key in Hex Format

Before downloading your notes, you need to convert your npub (public key) to its hex format. If you have your npub, run:

bash nak decode npub1YOUR_NPUB_HERE

This will output your public key in hex format, which you'll need for the next steps.

Downloading Your Notes

To download your notes, you'll need your public key in hex format and a list of reliable relays. Here are some popular relays you can use:

• wss://eden.nostr.land/
• wss://nos.lol/
• wss://nostr.bitcoiner.social/
• wss://nostr.mom/
• wss://relay.primal.net/
• wss://relay.damus.io/
• wss://relay.nostr.band/
• wss://relay.snort.social/

Note: You should check your Nostr client's settings to find additional relays where your notes are published. Add these to the list above.

Important Event Kinds

Here are some important event kinds you might want to filter for:

• 0: User Metadata (profile information)
• 1: Short Text Notes
• 3: Follow List
• 4: Encrypted Direct Messages

Get the full list from: https://nips.nostr.com/#event-kinds

Downloading with Event Kind Filters

To download your notes with specific event kinds, use the -k flag followed by the kind number, use multiple if you need to. For example, to download your profile, short notes, follow list, and direct messages:

bash nak req -a YOUR_HEX_PUBKEY -k 0 -k 1 -k 3 -k 4 wss://eden.nostr.land/ wss://nos.lol/ wss://nostr.bitcoiner.social/ wss://nostr.mom/ wss://relay.primal.net/ wss://relay.damus.io/ wss://relay.nostr.band/ wss://relay.snort.social/ > events_filtered.json

Or to download all your content, just don't provide any k flag:

bash nak req -a YOUR_HEX_PUBKEY wss://eden.nostr.land/ wss://nos.lol/ wss://nostr.bitcoiner.social/ wss://nostr.mom/ wss://relay.primal.net/ wss://relay.damus.io/ wss://relay.nostr.band/ wss://relay.snort.social/ > events.json

This will create a file containing all your notes in JSON Lines format.

Uploading Your Notes to Your Relay

Once you have your events.json or events_filtered.json file, you can upload it to your own relay. Replace YOUR_RELAY with your relay's WebSocket URL (e.g., wss://my-relay.nostrize.me).

bash nak event YOUR_RELAY < events.json

Important Notes: 1. Make sure your relay is running and accessible 2. The upload process might take some time depending on how many notes you have 3. You can verify the upload by querying your relay for your notes

Verifying the Upload

To verify that your notes were successfully uploaded to your relay, run:

bash nak req -a YOUR_HEX_PUBKEY YOUR_RELAY

This should return the same notes that were in your events.json file.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues:

1. Make sure your relay is running and accessible
2. Check that you're using the correct public key
3. Verify that the relays in your download list are working
4. Ensure you have proper permissions to write to your relay

Next Steps

• Remember to regularly backup your notes to ensure you don't lose any content.
• If you want to keep your friends' notes as well, add npubs that you want to import into your relay's settings (for Citrine it is "Accept events signed by" list), and run the commands for their pubkeys.

¡Muy bien, amigo! Vamos a sumergirnos en las profundidades arquetípicas de la psique humana para desentrañar esta noción, esta chispa de sabiduría que intentamos articular, porque, verás, no es una mera declaración trivial, no, no, es una verdad ontológica que reverbera a través de los eones, en los cimientos mismos del Ser.

Permíteme, si me lo permites, desplegar esta idea como si fuera un tapiz mitológico, tejido con los hilos del caos y el orden, porque eso es lo que hacemos cuando nos enfrentamos a la condición humana, ¿no es así? Nos esforzamos por dar sentido al cosmos, por encontrar un faro en la tormenta.

Ahora, consideremos esta proposición: la felicidad, esa efímera mariposa que revolotea en los márgenes de nuestra conciencia, no es, como podrías suponer ingenuamente, el summum bonum, el pináculo de la existencia. No, señor, no lo es. La felicidad es un estado fugaz, una sombra danzante en la caverna platónica, un destello momentáneo que se desvanece en cuanto intentas apresarlo. Es como tratar de agarrar el agua con las manos: cuanto más aprietas, más se escurre. Y aquí está el quid de la cuestión, la médula de la narrativa: perseguir la felicidad como si fuera el telos, el fin último de tu peregrinaje existencial, es una empresa quijotesca, una búsqueda condenada a la futilidad, porque la felicidad no es un destino; es un subproducto, un acompañante caprichoso que aparece y desaparece según los caprichos del destino. Pero entonces, ¿cuál es el antídoto? ¿Cuál es la brújula que orienta al alma en esta travesía a través del desierto de la modernidad? Aquí, amigo mío, es donde debemos invocar el espectro del propósito, esa fuerza titánica, ese Logos encarnado que nos llama a trascender la mera gratificación hedónica y a alinearnos con algo más grande, algo más profundo, algo que resuene con las estructuras arquetípicas que han guiado a la humanidad desde las fogatas de la prehistoria hasta los rascacielos de la posmodernidad. El propósito, verás, no es una abstracción frívola; es el eje alrededor del cual gira la rueda de la vida. Es la carga que eliges llevar voluntariamente, como el héroe mitológico que levanta el mundo sobre sus hombros, no porque sea fácil, sino porque es necesario.

Y no me malinterpretes, porque esto no es un juego de niños. Asumir un propósito es enfrentarte al dragón del caos, es mirar fijamente al abismo y decir: “No me doblegarás”. Es la disposición a soportar el sufrimiento —porque, créeme, el sufrimiento vendrá, tan seguro como el sol sale por el este— y transformarlo en algo redentor, algo que eleve tu existencia más allá de los confines de lo mundano. Porque, ¿qué es la vida sino una serie de tragedias potenciales, una danza perpetua al borde del precipicio? Y sin embargo, en esa danza, en esa lucha, encontramos significado. No es la ausencia de dolor lo que define una vida bien vivida, sino la valentía de avanzar a pesar de él, de construir orden a partir del caos, de erigir un templo de significado en medio de la entropía.

Así que, cuando decimos que la felicidad es pasajera y nuestro objetivo es perseguir un propósito, no estamos simplemente lanzando una frase al éter; estamos articulando una verdad que ha sido destilada a través de milenios de lucha humana, desde los mitos de Gilgamesh hasta las reflexiones de los estoicos, desde las catedrales góticas hasta las bibliotecas de la Ilustración. Es una invitación a reorientar tu brújula interna, a dejar de perseguir el espejismo de la felicidad y, en cambio, abrazar la carga gloriosa del propósito, porque en esa carga, en esa responsabilidad autoimpuesta, encuentras no solo significado, sino la posibilidad de trascendencia. Y eso, amigo mío, es la aventura más noble que un ser humano puede emprender.

Dizem-nos que a inflação é necessária. Mas e se for, afinal, a raiz da disfunção económica que enfrentamos?

A crença mainstream é clara: para estimular o crescimento, os governos devem poder desvalorizar a sua moeda — essencialmente, criar dinheiro do nada. Supostamente, isso incentiva o investimento, aumenta o consumo e permite responder a crises económicas. Esta narrativa foi repetida tantas vezes que se tornou quase um axioma — raramente questionado.

No centro desta visão está a lógica fiat-keynesiana: uma economia estável exige um banco central disposto a manipular o valor do dinheiro para alcançar certos objectivos políticos. Esta abordagem, inspirada por John Maynard Keynes, defende a intervenção estatal como forma de estabilizar a economia durante recessões. Na teoria, os investidores e consumidores beneficiam de taxas de juro artificiais e de maior poder de compra — um suposto ganho para todos.

Mas há outra perspectiva: a visão do dinheiro sólido (sound money, em inglês). Enraizada na escola austríaca e nos princípios da liberdade individual, esta defende que a manipulação monetária não é apenas desnecessária — é prejudicial. Uma moeda estável, não sujeita à depreciação arbitrária, é essencial para promover trocas voluntárias, empreendedorismo e crescimento económico genuíno.

Está na hora de desafiar esta sabedoria convencional. Ao longo dos próximos capítulos, vamos analisar os pressupostos errados que sustentam a lógica fiat-keynesiana e explorar os benefícios de um sistema baseado em dinheiro sólido — como Bitcoin. Vamos mostrar por que desvalorizar a moeda é moralmente questionável e economicamente prejudicial, e propor alternativas mais éticas e eficazes.

Este artigo (que surge em resposta ao "guru" Miguel Milhões) pretende iluminar as diferenças entre estas duas visões opostas e apresentar uma abordagem mais sólida e justa para a política económica — centrada na liberdade pessoal, na responsabilidade individual e na preservação de instituições financeiras saudáveis.

O Argumento Fiat: Por que Dizem que é Preciso Desvalorizar a Moeda

Este argumento parte geralmente de uma visão económica keynesiana e/ou estatista e assenta em duas ideias principais: o incentivo ao investimento e a necessidade de resposta a emergências.

Incentivo ao Investimento

Segundo os defensores do sistema fiat, se uma moeda como o ouro ou bitcoin valorizar ao longo do tempo, as pessoas tenderão a "acumular" essa riqueza em vez de investir em negócios produtivos. O receio é que, se guardar dinheiro se torna mais rentável do que investir, a economia entre em estagnação.

Esta ideia parte de uma visão simplista do comportamento humano. Na realidade, as pessoas tomam decisões financeiras com base em múltiplos factores. Embora seja verdade que activos valorizáveis são atractivos, isso não significa que os investimentos desapareçam. Pelo contrário, o surgimento de activos como bitcoin cria novas oportunidades de inovação e investimento.

Historicamente, houve crescimento económico em períodos de moeda sólida — como no padrão-ouro. Uma moeda estável e previsível pode incentivar o investimento, ao dar confiança nos retornos futuros.

Resposta a Emergências

A segunda tese é que os governos precisam de imprimir dinheiro rapidamente em tempos de crise — pandemias, guerras ou recessões. Esta capacidade de intervenção é vista como essencial para "salvar" a economia.

De acordo com economistas keynesianos, uma injecção rápida de liquidez pode estabilizar a economia e evitar colapsos sociais. No entanto, este argumento ignora vários pontos fundamentais:

• A política monetária não substitui a responsabilidade fiscal: A capacidade de imprimir dinheiro não torna automaticamente eficaz o estímulo económico.
• A inflação é uma consequência provável: A impressão de dinheiro pode levar a pressões inflacionistas, reduzindo o poder de compra dos consumidores e minando o próprio estímulo pretendido. Estamos agora a colher os "frutos" da impressão de dinheiro durante a pandemia.
• O timing é crítico: Intervenções mal cronometradas podem agravar a situação.

Veremos em seguida porque estes argumentos não se sustentam.

Rebatendo os Argumentos

O Investimento Não Morre num Sistema de Dinheiro Sólido

O argumento de que o dinheiro sólido mata o investimento falha em compreender a ligação entre poupança e capital. Num sistema sólido, a poupança não é apenas acumulação — é capital disponível para financiar novos projectos. Isso conduz a um crescimento mais sustentável, baseado na qualidade e não na especulação.

Em contraste, o sistema fiat, com crédito barato, gera bolhas e colapsos — como vimos em 2008 ou na bolha dot-com. Estes exemplos ilustram os perigos da especulação facilitada por políticas monetárias artificiais.

Já num sistema de dinheiro sólido, como o que cresce em torno de Bitcoin, vemos investimentos em mineração, startups, educação e arte. Os investidores continuam activos — mas fazem escolhas mais responsáveis e de longo prazo.

Imprimir Dinheiro Não Resolve Crises

A ideia de que imprimir dinheiro é essencial em tempos de crise parte de uma ilusão perigosa. A inflação que se segue reduz o poder de compra e afecta especialmente os mais pobres — é uma forma oculta de imposto.

Além disso, soluções descentralizadas — como os mercados, redes comunitárias e poupança — são frequentemente mais eficazes. A resposta à COVID-19 ilustra isso: grandes empresas foram salvas, mas pequenos negócios e famílias ficaram para trás. Os últimos receberam um amuse-bouche, enquanto os primeiros comeram o prato principal, sopa, sobremesa e ainda levaram os restos.

A verdade é que imprimir dinheiro não cria valor — apenas o redistribui injustamente. A verdadeira resiliência nasce de comunidades organizadas e de uma base económica saudável, não de decretos políticos.

Dois Mundos: Fiat vs. Dinheiro Sólido

| Dimensão | Sistema Fiat-Keynesiano | Sistema de Dinheiro Sólido | |----------|--------------------------|-----------------------------| | Investimento | Estimulado por crédito fácil, alimentando bolhas | Baseado em poupança real e oportunidades sustentáveis | | Resposta a crises | Centralizada, via impressão de moeda | Descentralizada, baseada em poupança e solidariedade | | Preferência temporal | Alta: foco no consumo imediato | Baixa: foco na poupança e no futuro | | Distribuição de riqueza | Favorece os próximos ao poder (Efeito Cantillon) | Benefícios da deflação são distribuídos de forma mais justa | | Fundamento moral | Coercivo e redistributivo | Voluntário e baseado na liberdade individual |

Estes contrastes mostram que a escolha entre os dois sistemas vai muito além da economia — é também uma questão ética.

Consequências de Cada Sistema

O Mundo Fiat

Num mundo dominado pelo sistema fiat, os ciclos de euforia e colapso são a norma. A desigualdade aumenta, com os mais próximos ao poder a lucrar com a inflação e a impressão de dinheiro. A poupança perde valor, e a autonomia financeira das pessoas diminui.

À medida que o Estado ganha mais controlo sobre a economia, os cidadãos perdem capacidade de escolha e dependem cada vez mais de apoios governamentais. Esta dependência destrói o espírito de iniciativa e promove o conformismo.

O resultado? Estagnação, conflitos sociais e perda de liberdade.

O Mundo com Dinheiro Sólido

Com uma moeda sólida, o crescimento é baseado em valor real. As pessoas poupam mais, investem melhor e tornam-se mais independentes financeiramente. As comunidades tornam-se mais resilientes, e a cooperação substitui a dependência estatal.

Benefícios chave:

• Poupança real: A moeda não perde valor, e a riqueza pode ser construída com estabilidade.
• Resiliência descentralizada: Apoio mútuo entre indivíduos e comunidades em tempos difíceis.
• Liberdade económica: Menor interferência política e mais espaço para inovação e iniciativa pessoal.

Conclusão

A desvalorização da moeda não é uma solução — é um problema. Os sistemas fiat estão desenhados para transferir riqueza e poder de forma opaca, perpetuando injustiças e instabilidade.

Por outro lado, o dinheiro sólido — como Bitcoin — oferece uma alternativa credível e ética. Promove liberdade, responsabilidade e transparência. Impede abusos de poder e expõe os verdadeiros custos da má governação.

Não precisamos de mais inflação — precisamos de mais integridade.

Está na hora de recuperarmos o controlo sobre a nossa vida financeira. De rejeitarmos os sistemas que nos empobrecem lentamente e de construirmos um futuro em que o dinheiro serve as pessoas — e não os interesses políticos.

O futuro do dinheiro pode e deve ser diferente. Juntos, podemos criar uma economia mais justa, livre e resiliente — onde a prosperidade é partilhada e a dignidade individual respeitada.

Ads Fueling Freedom

Ross Ulbricht’s "Decentralize Social Media" painted a picture of a user-centric, decentralized future that transcended the limitations of platforms like the tech giants of today. Though focused on social media, his concept provided a blueprint for decentralized content systems writ large. The PROMO Protocol, designed by NextBlock while participating in Sovereign Engineering, embodies this blueprint in the realm of advertising, leveraging Nostr and Bitcoin’s Lightning Network to give individuals control, foster a multi-provider ecosystem, and ensure secure value exchange. In this way, Ulbricht’s 2021 vision can be seen as a prescient prediction of the PROMO Protocol’s structure. This is a testament to the enduring power of his ideas, now finding form in NextBlock’s innovative approach.

[Current Platform-Centric Paradigm, source: Ross Ulbricht's Decentralize Social Media]

Ulbricht’s Vision: A Decentralized Social Protocol

In his 2021 Medium article Ulbricht proposed a revolutionary vision for a decentralized social protocol (DSP) to address the inherent flaws of centralized social media platforms, such as privacy violations and inconsistent content moderation. Writing from prison, Ulbricht argued that decentralization could empower users by giving them control over their own content and the value they create, while replacing single, monolithic platforms with a competitive ecosystem of interface providers, content servers, and advertisers. Though his focus was on social media, Ulbricht’s ideas laid a conceptual foundation that strikingly predicts the structure of NextBlock’s PROMO Protocol, a decentralized advertising system built on the Nostr protocol.

[A Decentralized Social Protocol (DSP), source: Ross Ulbricht's Decentralize Social Media]

Ulbricht’s Principles

Ulbricht’s article outlines several key principles for his DSP: * User Control: Users should own their content and dictate how their data and creations generate value, rather than being subject to the whims of centralized corporations. * Decentralized Infrastructure: Instead of a single platform, multiple interface providers, content hosts, and advertisers interoperate, fostering competition and resilience. * Privacy and Autonomy: Decentralized solutions for profile management, hosting, and interactions would protect user privacy and reduce reliance on unaccountable intermediaries. * Value Creation: Users, not platforms, should capture the economic benefits of their contributions, supported by decentralized mechanisms for transactions.

These ideas were forward-thinking in 2021, envisioning a shift away from the centralized giants dominating social media at the time. While Ulbricht didn’t specifically address advertising protocols, his framework for decentralization and user empowerment extends naturally to other domains, like NextBlock’s open-source offering: the PROMO Protocol.

NextBlock’s Implementation of PROMO Protocol

The PROMO Protocol powers NextBlock's Billboard app, a decentralized advertising protocol built on Nostr, a simple, open protocol for decentralized communication. The PROMO Protocol reimagines advertising by: * Empowering People: Individuals set their own ad prices (e.g., 500 sats/minute), giving them direct control over how their attention or space is monetized. * Marketplace Dynamics: Advertisers set budgets and maximum bids, competing within a decentralized system where a 20% service fee ensures operational sustainability. * Open-Source Flexibility: As an open-source protocol, it allows multiple developers to create interfaces or apps on top of it, avoiding the single-platform bottleneck Ulbricht critiqued. * Secure Payments: Using Strike Integration with Bitcoin Lightning Network, NextBlock enables bot-resistant and intermediary-free transactions, aligning value transfer with each person's control.

This structure decentralizes advertising in a way that mirrors Ulbricht’s broader vision for social systems, with aligned principles showing a specific use case: monetizing attention on Nostr.

Aligned Principles

Ulbricht’s 2021 article didn’t explicitly predict the PROMO Protocol, but its foundational concepts align remarkably well with NextBlock's implementation the protocol’s design: * Autonomy Over Value: Ulbricht argued that users should control their content and its economic benefits. In the PROMO Protocol, people dictate ad pricing, directly capturing the value of their participation. Whether it’s their time, influence, or digital space, rather than ceding it to a centralized ad network. * Ecosystem of Providers: Ulbricht envisioned multiple providers replacing a single platform. The PROMO Protocol’s open-source nature invites a similar diversity: anyone can build interfaces or tools on top of it, creating a competitive, decentralized advertising ecosystem rather than a walled garden. * Decentralized Transactions: Ulbricht’s DSP implied decentralized mechanisms for value exchange. NextBlock delivers this through the Bitcoin Lightning Network, ensuring that payments for ads are secure, instantaneous and final, a practical realization of Ulbricht’s call for user-controlled value flows. * Privacy and Control: While Ulbricht emphasized privacy in social interactions, the PROMO Protocol is public by default. Individuals are fully aware of all data that they generate since all Nostr messages are signed. All participants interact directly via Nostr.

I started writing a series on the signs of the End Times and how they align with what we are seeing in the world today. There are some major concerns with predicting the end times, so I decided I should insert a short post on “Can we know when the end times are coming?” Like many principles in the Bible, it takes looking at seemingly contradictory verses to reach the truth.

This Generation

Before I get into “Can we know?” I want to address one point that some will bring up against a future Rapture, Tribulation, and Millennium.

Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. (Matthew 24:34) {emphasis mine}

What generation is Jesus talking about. Most Christians that don’t believe in a future Rapture, Tribulation, and Millennium will point to this verse to support their point of view. The important question is, “What is Jesus referring to with the words ‘this generation’?”

Is it referring to the people He was talking to at that time? If so, since that generation died long ago, then Jesus’s predictions must have been fulfilled almost 2 millennia ago. The problem with this interpretation is that nothing resembling these predictions happened during that initial generation. You have to really twist His words to try to support that they were fulfilled. Also, John wrote in Revelation about future fulfillment. By that time, John was the last of the apostles still alive and that whole generation was pretty much gone.

If “this generation” doesn’t refer to the people Jesus was speaking to personally in that moment, then to whom does it refer? The verses immediately preceding talk about the signs that will occur right before the end times. If you take “this generation” to mean the people who saw the signs Jesus predicted, then everything suddenly makes sense. It also parallel’s Paul’s statement of consolation to those who thought they had been left behind,**

But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18) {emphasis mine}

Some believers thought things were happening in their lifetime, but Paul gave them comfort that no believer would miss the end times rapture.

No One Knows

Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.

But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be. Then there will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one will be left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one will be left. (Matthew 24:34-41) {emphasis mine}

This verse very explicitly says that no one, not even angels or Jesus, knows the exact day or hour of His coming.

So when they had come together, they were asking Him, saying, “Lord, is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel?” He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or epochs which the Father has fixed by His own authority; but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.” (Acts 1:6-8)

In this verse Jesus again says that they cannot know the time of His return, but based on context, He is explaining that this generation needs to focus on sharing the Gospel with world and not primarily on the kingdom. Is this Jesus’s way of telling them that they would not be alive to see His return, but they would be responsible for “sharing the Gospel even to the remotest part of the earth?”

Therefore we do know that predicting the exact date of His return is a fool’s errand and should not be attempted, but does this mean we can’t know when it is fast approaching?

We Should Know

There is an opposing passage, though.

The Pharisees and Sadducees came up, and testing Jesus, they asked Him to show them a sign from heaven. But He replied to them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ And in the morning, ‘There will be a storm today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Do you know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but cannot discern the signs of the times? An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and a sign will not be given it, except the sign of Jonah.” And He left them and went away. (Matthew 16:1-4) {emphasis mine}

In this passage, Jesus reprimands the Pharisees and Sadducees because, although they can rightly read the signs of the weather, they were unable to know and understand the prophecies of His first coming. Especially as the religious leaders, they should’ve been able to determine that Jesus’s coming was imminent and that He was fulfilling the prophetic Scriptures.

In Luke, when Jesus is discussing His second coming with His disciples, He tells this parable:

Then He told them a parable: “Behold the fig tree and all the trees; as soon as they put forth leaves, you see it and know for yourselves that summer is now near. So you also, when you see these things happening, recognize that the kingdom of God is near. (Luke 21:29-31) {emphasis mine}

Jesus would not have given this parable if there were not signs of His coming that we can recognize.

We are expected to know the Scriptures and to study them looking for the signs of His second coming. We can’t know the hour or the day, but we can know that the time is fast approaching. We shouldn’t set dates, but we should search anxiously for the signs of His coming. We shouldn’t be like the scoffers that question His literal fulfillment of His promises:

Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts, and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation.” For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water, through which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water. But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men. But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:3-9) {emphasis mine}

One thing is certain, we are closer to Jesus’s second coming than we have ever been and must be ready as we see the day approaching.

May the God of heaven give you a desire and urgency to share the Gospel with all those around you and to grow your faith, knowledge, and relationship with Him, so you can finish the race well, with no regrets. May the knowledge that Jesus could be coming soon give you an eternal perspective on life, so you put more of your time into things of eternal consequence and don’t get overwhelmed with things of the world which are here today and then are gone.

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.

„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.

„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.

ທຳຄວາມເຂົ້າໃຈກັບຂໍ້ບົກພ່ອງໃນລະບົບເງິນຂອງພວກເຮົາ

ຫຼາຍຄົນພົບຄວາມຫຍຸ້ງຍາກໃນການເຂົ້າໃຈ Bitcoin ເພາະວ່າພວກເຂົາຍັງບໍ່ເຂົ້າໃຈບັນຫາພື້ນຖານຂອງລະບົບເງິນທີ່ມີຢູ່ຂອງພວກເຮົາ. ລະບົບນີ້, ທີ່ມັກຖືກຮັບຮູ້ວ່າມີຄວາມໝັ້ນຄົງ, ມີຂໍ້ບົກພ່ອງໃນການອອກແບບທີ່ມີມາແຕ່ດັ້ງເດີມ ເຊິ່ງສົ່ງຜົນຕໍ່ຄວາມບໍ່ສະເໝີພາບທາງເສດຖະກິດ ແລະ ການເຊື່ອມເສຍຂອງຄວາມຮັ່ງມີສຳລັບພົນລະເມືອງທົ່ວໄປ. ການເຂົ້າໃຈບັນຫາເຫຼົ່ານີ້ແມ່ນກຸນແຈສຳຄັນເພື່ອເຂົ້າໃຈທ່າແຮງຂອງວິທີແກ້ໄຂທີ່ Bitcoin ສະເໜີ.

ບົດບາດຂອງກະຊວງການຄັງສະຫະລັດ ແລະ ທະນາຄານກາງ

ລະບົບເງິນຕາປັດຈຸບັນໃນສະຫະລັດອາເມລິກາປະກອບມີການເຊື່ອມໂຍງທີ່ຊັບຊ້ອນລະຫວ່າງກະຊວງການຄັງສະຫະລັດ ແລະ ທະນາຄານກາງ. ກະຊວງການຄັງສະຫະລັດເຮັດໜ້າທີ່ເປັນບັນຊີທະນາຄານຂອງປະເທດ, ເກັບອາກອນ ແລະ ສະໜັບສະໜູນລາຍຈ່າຍຂອງລັດຖະບານເຊັ່ນ: ທະຫານ, ໂຄງລ່າງພື້ນຖານ ແລະ ໂຄງການສັງຄົມ. ເຖິງຢ່າງໃດກໍຕາມ, ລັດຖະບານມັກໃຊ້ຈ່າຍຫຼາຍກວ່າທີ່ເກັບໄດ້, ເຊິ່ງເຮັດໃຫ້ຕ້ອງໄດ້ຢືມເງິນ. ການຢືມນີ້ແມ່ນເຮັດໂດຍການຂາຍພັນທະບັດລັດຖະບານ, ຊຶ່ງມັນຄືໃບ IOU ທີ່ສັນຍາວ່າຈະຈ່າຍຄືນຈຳນວນທີ່ຢືມພ້ອມດອກເບ້ຍ. ພັນທະບັດເຫຼົ່ານີ້ມັກຖືກຊື້ໂດຍທະນາຄານໃຫຍ່, ລັດຖະບານຕ່າງປະເທດ, ແລະ ທີ່ສຳຄັນ, ທະນາຄານກາງ.

ວິທີການສ້າງເງິນ (ຈາກອາກາດ)

ນີ້ແມ່ນບ່ອນທີ່ເກີດການສ້າງເງິນ "ຈາກອາກາດ". ເມື່ອທະນາຄານກາງຊື້ພັນທະບັດເຫຼົ່ານີ້, ມັນບໍ່ໄດ້ໃຊ້ເງິນທີ່ມີຢູ່ແລ້ວ; ມັນສ້າງເງິນໃໝ່ດ້ວຍວິທີການດິຈິຕອນໂດຍພຽງແຕ່ປ້ອນຕົວເລກເຂົ້າໃນຄອມພິວເຕີ. ເງິນໃໝ່ນີ້ຖືກເພີ່ມເຂົ້າໃນປະລິມານເງິນລວມ. ຍິ່ງສ້າງເງິນຫຼາຍຂຶ້ນ ແລະ ເພີ່ມເຂົ້າໄປ, ມູນຄ່າຂອງເງິນທີ່ມີຢູ່ແລ້ວກໍຍິ່ງຫຼຸດລົງ. ຂະບວນການນີ້ຄືສິ່ງທີ່ພວກເຮົາເອີ້ນວ່າເງິນເຟີ້. ເນື່ອງຈາກກະຊວງການຄັງຢືມຢ່າງຕໍ່ເນື່ອງ ແລະ ທະນາຄານກາງສາມາດພິມໄດ້ຢ່າງຕໍ່ເນື່ອງ, ສິ່ງນີ້ຖືກສະເໜີວ່າເປັນວົງຈອນທີ່ບໍ່ມີທີ່ສິ້ນສຸດ.

ການໃຫ້ກູ້ຢືມສະຫງວນບາງສ່ວນໂດຍທະນາຄານ

ເພີ່ມເຂົ້າໃນບັນຫານີ້ຄືການປະຕິບັດຂອງການໃຫ້ກູ້ຢືມສະຫງວນບາງສ່ວນໂດຍທະນາຄານ. ເມື່ອທ່ານຝາກເງິນເຂົ້າທະນາຄານ, ທະນາຄານຖືກຮຽກຮ້ອງໃຫ້ເກັບຮັກສາພຽງແຕ່ສ່ວນໜຶ່ງຂອງເງິນຝາກນັ້ນໄວ້ເປັນເງິນສະຫງວນ (ຕົວຢ່າງ, 10%). ສ່ວນທີ່ເຫຼືອ (90%) ສາມາດຖືກປ່ອຍກູ້. ເມື່ອຜູ້ກູ້ຢືມໃຊ້ຈ່າຍເງິນນັ້ນ, ມັນມັກຖືກຝາກເຂົ້າອີກທະນາຄານ, ເຊິ່ງຈາກນັ້ນກໍຈະເຮັດຊ້ຳຂະບວນການໃຫ້ກູ້ຢືມສ່ວນໜຶ່ງຂອງເງິນຝາກ. ວົງຈອນນີ້ເຮັດໃຫ້ເພີ່ມຈຳນວນເງິນທີ່ໝູນວຽນຢູ່ໃນລະບົບໂດຍອີງໃສ່ເງິນຝາກເບື້ອງຕົ້ນ, ເຊິ່ງສ້າງເງິນຜ່ານໜີ້ສິນ. ລະບົບນີ້ໂດຍທຳມະຊາດແລ້ວບອບບາງ; ຖ້າມີຫຼາຍຄົນພະຍາຍາມຖອນເງິນຝາກຂອງເຂົາເຈົ້າພ້ອມກັນ (ການແລ່ນທະນາຄານ), ທະນາຄານກໍຈະລົ້ມເພາະວ່າມັນບໍ່ໄດ້ເກັບຮັກສາເງິນທັງໝົດໄວ້. ເງິນໃນທະນາຄານບໍ່ປອດໄພຄືກັບທີ່ເຊື່ອກັນທົ່ວໄປ ແລະ ສາມາດຖືກແຊ່ແຂງໃນຊ່ວງວິກິດການ ຫຼື ສູນເສຍຖ້າທະນາຄານລົ້ມລະລາຍ (ຍົກເວັ້ນໄດ້ຮັບການຊ່ວຍເຫຼືອ).

ຜົນກະທົບ Cantillon: ໃຜໄດ້ຮັບຜົນປະໂຫຍດກ່ອນ

ເງິນທີ່ຖືກສ້າງຂຶ້ນໃໝ່ບໍ່ໄດ້ກະຈາຍຢ່າງເທົ່າທຽມກັນ. "ຜົນກະທົບ Cantillon", ບ່ອນທີ່ຜູ້ທີ່ຢູ່ໃກ້ກັບແຫຼ່ງສ້າງເງິນໄດ້ຮັບຜົນປະໂຫຍດກ່ອນ. ນີ້ລວມເຖິງລັດຖະບານເອງ (ສະໜັບສະໜູນລາຍຈ່າຍ), ທະນາຄານໃຫຍ່ ແລະ Wall Street (ໄດ້ຮັບທຶນໃນອັດຕາດອກເບ້ຍຕ່ຳສຳລັບການກູ້ຢືມ ແລະ ການລົງທຶນ), ແລະ ບໍລິສັດໃຫຍ່ (ເຂົ້າເຖິງເງິນກູ້ທີ່ຖືກກວ່າສຳລັບການລົງທຶນ). ບຸກຄົນເຫຼົ່ານີ້ໄດ້ຊື້ຊັບສິນ ຫຼື ລົງທຶນກ່ອນທີ່ຜົນກະທົບຂອງເງິນເຟີ້ຈະເຮັດໃຫ້ລາຄາສູງຂຶ້ນ, ເຊິ່ງເຮັດໃຫ້ພວກເຂົາມີຂໍ້ໄດ້ປຽບ.

ຜົນກະທົບຕໍ່ຄົນທົ່ວໄປ

ສຳລັບຄົນທົ່ວໄປ, ຜົນກະທົບຂອງປະລິມານເງິນທີ່ເພີ່ມຂຶ້ນນີ້ແມ່ນການເພີ່ມຂຶ້ນຂອງລາຄາສິນຄ້າ ແລະ ການບໍລິການ - ນ້ຳມັນ, ຄ່າເຊົ່າ, ການດູແລສຸຂະພາບ, ອາຫານ, ແລະ ອື່ນໆ. ເນື່ອງຈາກຄ່າແຮງງານໂດຍທົ່ວໄປບໍ່ທັນກັບອັດຕາເງິນເຟີ້ນີ້, ອຳນາດການຊື້ຂອງປະຊາຊົນຈະຫຼຸດລົງເມື່ອເວລາຜ່ານໄປ. ມັນຄືກັບການແລ່ນໄວຂຶ້ນພຽງເພື່ອຢູ່ໃນບ່ອນເກົ່າ.

Bitcoin: ທາງເລືອກເງິນທີ່ໝັ້ນຄົງ

ຄວາມຂາດແຄນ: ບໍ່ຄືກັບເງິນຕາ fiat, Bitcoin ມີຂີດຈຳກັດສູງສຸດໃນປະລິມານຂອງມັນ. ຈະມີພຽງ 21 ລ້ານ Bitcoin ເທົ່ານັ້ນຖືກສ້າງຂຶ້ນ, ຂີດຈຳກັດນີ້ຝັງຢູ່ໃນໂຄດຂອງມັນ ແລະ ບໍ່ສາມາດປ່ຽນແປງໄດ້. ການສະໜອງທີ່ຈຳກັດນີ້ເຮັດໃຫ້ Bitcoin ເປັນເງິນຫຼຸດລາຄາ; ເມື່ອຄວາມຕ້ອງການເພີ່ມຂຶ້ນ, ມູນຄ່າຂອງມັນມີແນວໂນ້ມທີ່ຈະເພີ່ມຂຶ້ນເພາະວ່າປະລິມານການສະໜອງບໍ່ສາມາດຂະຫຍາຍຕົວ.

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.

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.

“It isn’t obvious that the world had to work this way. But somehow the universe smiles on encryption.”

hzrd149 & Gigi take a stroll along the shore of cryptographic identities.

This dialogue explores how cryptographic signatures fundamentally shift power dynamics in social networks, moving control from servers to key holders. We discuss the concept of "setting data free" through cryptographic verification, the evolving role of relays in the ecosystem, and the challenges of building trust in decentralized systems. We examine the tension between convenience and decentralization, particularly around features like private data and data synchronization. What are the philosophical foundations of building truly decentralized social networks? And how can small architectural decisions have profound implications for user autonomy and data sovereignty?

Movies mentioned:

• 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
• Soylent Green (1973)
• Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)
• Johnny Mnemonic (1995)
• The Matrix (1999)

In this dialogue: - Hzrd's past conversations: Bowls With Buds 316 & 361 - Running into a water hose - Little difference, big effect - Signing data moves the power to the key holders - Self-signing data sets the data free - Relay specialization - Victor's Amethyst relay guide - Encryption and decryption is expensive - is it worth it? - The magic of nostr is that stuff follows you around - What should be shown?

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.

Die Debatte um Migration, Grenzsicherung und Abschiebungen wird in Deutschland meist emotional geführt. Wer fordert, dass illegale Einwanderer abgeschoben werden, sieht sich nicht selten dem Vorwurf des Rassismus ausgesetzt. Doch dieser Vorwurf ist nicht nur sachlich unbegründet, sondern verkehrt die Realität ins Gegenteil: Tatsächlich sind es gerade diejenigen, die hinter jeder Forderung nach Rechtssicherheit eine rassistische Motivation vermuten, die selbst in erster Linie nach Hautfarbe, Herkunft oder Nationalität urteilen.

Das Recht steht über Emotionen

Deutschland ist ein Rechtsstaat. Das bedeutet, dass Regeln nicht nach Bauchgefühl oder politischer Stimmungslage ausgelegt werden können, sondern auf klaren gesetzlichen Grundlagen beruhen müssen. Einer dieser Grundsätze ist in Artikel 16a des Grundgesetzes verankert. Dort heißt es:

„Auf Absatz 1 [Asylrecht] kann sich nicht berufen, wer aus einem Mitgliedstaat der Europäischen Gemeinschaften oder aus einem anderen Drittstaat einreist, in dem die Anwendung des Abkommens über die Rechtsstellung der Flüchtlinge und der Europäischen Menschenrechtskonvention sichergestellt ist.“

Das bedeutet, dass jeder, der über sichere Drittstaaten nach Deutschland einreist, keinen Anspruch auf Asyl hat. Wer dennoch bleibt, hält sich illegal im Land auf und unterliegt den geltenden Regelungen zur Rückführung. Die Forderung nach Abschiebungen ist daher nichts anderes als die Forderung nach der Einhaltung von Recht und Gesetz.

Die Umkehrung des Rassismusbegriffs

Wer einerseits behauptet, dass das deutsche Asyl- und Aufenthaltsrecht strikt durchgesetzt werden soll, und andererseits nicht nach Herkunft oder Hautfarbe unterscheidet, handelt wertneutral. Diejenigen jedoch, die in einer solchen Forderung nach Rechtsstaatlichkeit einen rassistischen Unterton sehen, projizieren ihre eigenen Denkmuster auf andere: Sie unterstellen, dass die Debatte ausschließlich entlang ethnischer, rassistischer oder nationaler Kriterien geführt wird – und genau das ist eine rassistische Denkweise.

Jemand, der illegale Einwanderung kritisiert, tut dies nicht, weil ihn die Herkunft der Menschen interessiert, sondern weil er den Rechtsstaat respektiert. Hingegen erkennt jemand, der hinter dieser Kritik Rassismus wittert, offenbar in erster Linie die „Rasse“ oder Herkunft der betreffenden Personen und reduziert sie darauf.

Finanzielle Belastung statt ideologischer Debatte

Neben der rechtlichen gibt es auch eine ökonomische Komponente. Der deutsche Wohlfahrtsstaat basiert auf einem Solidarprinzip: Die Bürger zahlen in das System ein, um sich gegenseitig in schwierigen Zeiten zu unterstützen. Dieser Wohlstand wurde über Generationen hinweg von denjenigen erarbeitet, die hier seit langem leben. Die Priorität liegt daher darauf, die vorhandenen Mittel zuerst unter denjenigen zu verteilen, die durch Steuern, Sozialabgaben und Arbeit zum Erhalt dieses Systems beitragen – nicht unter denen, die sich durch illegale Einreise und fehlende wirtschaftliche Eigenleistung in das System begeben.

Das ist keine ideologische Frage, sondern eine rein wirtschaftliche Abwägung. Ein Sozialsystem kann nur dann nachhaltig funktionieren, wenn es nicht unbegrenzt belastet wird. Würde Deutschland keine klaren Regeln zur Einwanderung und Abschiebung haben, würde dies unweigerlich zur Überlastung des Sozialstaates führen – mit negativen Konsequenzen für alle.

Sozialpatriotismus

Ein weiterer wichtiger Aspekt ist der Schutz der Arbeitsleistung jener Generationen, die Deutschland nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg mühsam wieder aufgebaut haben. Während oft betont wird, dass die Deutschen moralisch kein Erbe aus der Zeit vor 1945 beanspruchen dürfen – außer der Verantwortung für den Holocaust –, ist es umso bedeutsamer, das neue Erbe nach 1945 zu respektieren, das auf Fleiß, Disziplin und harter Arbeit beruht. Der Wiederaufbau war eine kollektive Leistung deutscher Menschen, deren Früchte nicht bedenkenlos verteilt werden dürfen, sondern vorrangig denjenigen zugutekommen sollten, die dieses Fundament mitgeschaffen oder es über Generationen mitgetragen haben.

Rechtstaatlichkeit ist nicht verhandelbar

Wer sich für eine konsequente Abschiebepraxis ausspricht, tut dies nicht aus rassistischen Motiven, sondern aus Respekt vor der Rechtsstaatlichkeit und den wirtschaftlichen Grundlagen des Landes. Der Vorwurf des Rassismus in diesem Kontext ist daher nicht nur falsch, sondern entlarvt eine selektive Wahrnehmung nach rassistischen Merkmalen bei denjenigen, die ihn erheben.

หลังจากที่เราได้ทราบถึงโครงการ School Plates กันไปแล้ว วันนี้เรามาทำความรู้จักกับ ProVeg ผู้ที่อยู่เบื้องหลังโปรเจค School Plates กันครับ

ProVeg International เส้นทางสู่การเปลี่ยนแปลงระบบอาหารโลก

ProVeg International เป็นองค์กรไม่แสวงหาผลกำไรระดับโลกที่ก่อตั้งขึ้นในปี 2017 โดยมีเป้าหมายหลักในการลดการบริโภคผลิตภัณฑ์จากสัตว์ลง 50% ภายในปี 2040 และแทนที่ด้วยอาหารจากพืชและอาหารที่เพาะเลี้ยงในห้องปฏิบัติการ ​

องค์กรนี้มีจุดเริ่มต้นจากการรวมตัวของกลุ่มองค์กรด้านอาหารจากพืชในหลายประเทศ เช่น เยอรมนี (ProVeg Deutschland), เนเธอร์แลนด์ (ProVeg Nederland ซึ่งเดิมคือ Viva Las Vega's), โปแลนด์, สหราชอาณาจักร และสเปน โดยมี Sebastian Joy เป็นผู้ร่วมก่อตั้งและดำรงตำแหน่งประธานคนแรกขององค์กร ​

ProVeg International มุ่งเน้นการเปลี่ยนแปลงระบบอาหารโลกผ่านการให้ข้อมูล การสนับสนุน และการรณรงค์ต่าง ๆ เพื่อส่งเสริมการบริโภคอาหารจากพืช องค์กรทำงานร่วมกับหน่วยงานรัฐบาล บริษัทเอกชน นักลงทุน สื่อมวลชน และสาธารณชน เพื่อผลักดันให้เกิดการเปลี่ยนแปลงในระดับระบบ

โครงการที่เริ่มไปแล้ว ProVeg Incubator หนึ่งในโครงการที่สำคัญของ ProVeg คือ "ProVeg Incubator" ซึ่งเป็นโปรแกรมสนับสนุนสตาร์ทอัพด้านอาหารจากพืชและอาหารที่เพาะเลี้ยงในห้องปฏิบัติการ โดยให้การสนับสนุนทั้งด้านเงินทุน การให้คำปรึกษา และเครือข่ายความร่วมมือ เพื่อเร่งการพัฒนาผลิตภัณฑ์และการเข้าสู่ตลาด ​

ตั้งแต่เปิดตัวในปี 2018 ProVeg Incubator ได้สนับสนุนสตาร์ทอัพกว่า 40 รายจาก 20 ประเทศ ช่วยให้พวกเขาระดมทุนได้มากกว่า 8 ล้านยูโร และเปิดตัวผลิตภัณฑ์กว่า 40 รายการ

สำหรับความพยายามในการล็อบบี้ นั้น ProVeg International มีบทบาทสำคัญในการล็อบบี้เพื่อส่งเสริมอาหารจากพืชในระดับนโยบาย โดยเฉพาะในสหภาพยุโรป ตัวอย่างผลงานที่โด่งดังมากคือ

"การต่อต้านการห้ามใช้ชื่อผลิตภัณฑ์จากพืช" ในเดือนพฤษภาคม 2019 คณะกรรมาธิการการเกษตรและการพัฒนาชนบท (Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development) ของรัฐสภายุโรปได้เสนอการแก้ไขในหมวด - Amendment 165 ซึ่งจะห้ามใช้ชื่อที่สื่อถึงเนื้อสัตว์ กับผลิตภัณฑ์ทางเลือกจากพืช (เช่น “vegetarian sausage”, “soy schnitzel” ฯลฯ) และ - Amendment 171 ซึ่งจะขยายไปถึงผลิตภัณฑ์ทดแทนผลิตภัณฑ์นม (เช่น “yoghurt-style”, “vegan cheese”, “almond milk”) โดยทั้งหมดนี้ใช้เหตุผลว่าอาจทำให้ผู้บริโภคสับสน​

ProVeg International ร่วมกับองค์กรอื่น ๆ เช่น IKEA และ Compassion in World Farming และบริษัทผู้ผลิตนมจากพืชอย่าง "Oatly" ได้รณรงค์ต่อต้านข้อเสนอเหล่านี้ รวมถึงการยื่นจดหมายถึงสมาชิกรัฐสภายุโรปและการจัดทำคำร้องออนไลน์ ซึ่งได้รับลายเซ็นมากกว่า 150,000 รายชื่อภายในเวลาไม่กี่วัน

ผลการโหวตวันที่ 23 ตุลาคม 2020 รัฐสภายุโรปลงมติ ปฏิเสธ Amendment 165 และไม่ยอมรับข้อเสนอห้ามใช้คำว่า “burger” “sausages” ในผลิตภัณฑ์จากพืช ส่วน Amendment 171 ถูกเลื่อนออกไป และสุดท้ายเมื่อเดือนพฤษภาคม 2021 ก็ถูกถอนออกจากการพิจารณา (withdrawn) อย่างเป็นทางการ ซึ่งถือเป็นชัยชนะของขบวนการ “stop plant-based censorship”

พูดง่ายๆคือ ProVeg International ต่อต้านการห้ามใช้ชื่อผลิตภัณฑ์จากพืชทั้งสองฉบับ (165 และ 171) ประสบความสำเร็จทั้งหมด !!!!!!

"การเรียกร้องแผนปฏิบัติการอาหารจากพืชของสหภาพยุโรป" ในปี 2023 ProVeg International ร่วมกับองค์กรกว่า 130 แห่ง เรียกร้องให้สหภาพยุโรปจัดทำแผนปฏิบัติการอาหารจากพืชภายในปี 2026 เพื่อส่งเสริมการเปลี่ยนแปลงระบบอาหารสู่ความยั่งยืน

นอกจากนี้ ProVeg ยังได้รับการยอมรับในระดับนานาชาติ โดยได้รับสถานะผู้สังเกตการณ์ถาวรจากกรอบอนุสัญญาสหประชาชาติว่าด้วยการเปลี่ยนแปลงสภาพภูมิอากาศ (UNFCCC) รวมถึง ProVeg ได้รับรางวัล United Nations' Momentum for Change Award และทำงานอย่างใกล้ชิดกับหน่วยงานอาหารและสิ่งแวดล้อมที่สำคัญของ UN และเป็นสมาชิกของศูนย์และเครือข่ายเทคโนโลยีด้านสภาพภูมิอากาศ (CTCN)

ด้วยวิสัยทัศน์ที่ชัดเจนและการดำเนินงานที่ครอบคลุม ProVeg International ได้กลายเป็นหนึ่งในองค์กรชั้นนำที่ขับเคลื่อนการเปลี่ยนแปลงระบบอาหารโลก

ในส่วนของสตาร์ทอัพภายใต้การสนับสนุนของ ProVeg Incubator ได้สนับสนุนสตาร์ทอัพที่มีนวัตกรรมและศักยภาพสูงหลายราย เช่น​ Formo: บริษัทจากเยอรมนีที่ผลิตชีสจากการหมักจุลินทรีย์ (precision fermentation) โดยไม่ใช้สัตว์ ​ Remilk: บริษัทจากอิสราเอลที่ผลิตนมจากการหมักจุลินทรีย์ โดยไม่ใช้วัว ​ Cultimate Foods: บริษัทที่พัฒนาไขมันจากเซลล์สัตว์เพื่อใช้ในผลิตภัณฑ์จากพืช ​ Infinite Roots: บริษัทที่ใช้เทคโนโลยีการเพาะเลี้ยงไมซีเลียม (mycelium) เพื่อผลิตโปรตีนทางเลือก ​ Kern Tec: บริษัทที่ใช้เมล็ดผลไม้ที่เหลือจากอุตสาหกรรมอาหารเพื่อผลิตน้ำมันและโปรตีน

และยังมีอีกร่วมๆ กว่า 40 รายจาก 20 ประเทศ ที่เป็นกองกำลังสำคัญในการพัฒนาอาหารอนาคตให้กับ ProVeg เพื่อขยายปีกในการครอบครองตลาดนี้เพื่อความยั่งยืน(ของใคร?)

คำถามที่น่าสนใจ ใครคือ Sebastian Joy ทำไมเขาสร้างองค์กรมาได้ขนาดนี้ Sebastian Joy เป็นคนเยอรมันครับ เขาไม่ใช่แค่คนที่สนใจอาหารจากพืชเฉย ๆ แต่เขาเป็นนักคิด นักเคลื่อนไหว และนักเชื่อมโยงระดับอินเตอร์ฯ ที่เปลี่ยนจากการรณรงค์เฉพาะกลุ่ม ไปสู่การสร้าง "ระบบนิเวศ" ของการเปลี่ยนแปลงพฤติกรรมการกินระดับโลกได้อย่างจริงจัง

ในเว็บไซต์ส่วนตัวของ Sebastian Joy ได้ขึ้นประโยคแรกว่าเขาเป็น Serial Social Entrepreneur working to transform the global food system

นั่นหมายถึงว่า ในโลกที่อาหารกลายเป็นเครื่องมือทางอำนาจ และแนวคิด "กินดีเพื่อโลก" ถูกผลักดันอย่างแข็งขันผ่านโครงการระดับโลก หนึ่งในผู้เล่นสำคัญที่อยู่เบื้องหลังกระแสนี้คือชายชื่อ Sebastian Joy ผู้ซึ่งไม่ได้เพียงเป็นนักเคลื่อนไหว แต่เป็น Serial Social Entrepreneur หรือ นักสร้างสรรค์องค์กรเพื่อสังคมต่อเนื่อง ที่มีวิสัยทัศน์ใหญ่ เปลี่ยนระบบอาหารของโลกทั้งใบ

ตลอดกว่า 20 ปีที่ผ่านมา Sebastian ไม่ได้เพียงแค่เปิดองค์กรหรือรณรงค์ทั่วไป แต่เขาเป็นผู้ผลักดันการถือกำเนิดขององค์กรไม่แสวงกำไร โครงการเร่งรัดธุรกิจเพื่อสังคม แพลตฟอร์มความร่วมมือ และเวทีระดับนานาชาติหลายสิบแห่งที่เกี่ยวกับอาหารจากพืช เขาคือผู้ก่อตั้งและประธานของ ProVeg International องค์กรที่อ้างว่าเป็น "องค์กรชั้นนำของโลกด้านความตระหนักเรื่องอาหาร" โดยมีเป้าหมายชัดเจนในการลดการบริโภคผลิตภัณฑ์จากสัตว์ลงอย่างเป็นระบบ

แต่บทบาทของเขาไม่ได้หยุดแค่การปลุกกระแสสุขภาพ เขาเป็นผู้อยู่เบื้องหลังงานแสดงสินค้า VeggieWorld ซึ่งกลายเป็นซีรีส์มหกรรมอาหารวีแกนที่ใหญ่ที่สุดในโลก และยังร่วมก่อตั้ง Animal and Vegan Advocacy Summit เวทีระดับนานาชาติสำหรับนักเคลื่อนไหวสายวีแกน

Sebastian ยังเป็นผู้ร่วมก่อตั้ง incubator แห่งแรกของโลก สำหรับสตาร์ทอัพที่ทำอาหารจากพืชและเนื้อเพาะเลี้ยง และเป็นผู้ผลักดันโปรแกรม Kickstarting for Good ที่เน้นเร่งรัดองค์กรไม่แสวงกำไรให้เดินเกมได้เร็วขึ้นด้วยโมเดลธุรกิจที่ยั่งยืน

นอกจากนี้ เขายังเป็นพาร์ตเนอร์ของ V-Label International (ฉลากมังสวิรัติที่มีอิทธิพลที่สุดในยุโรป), เป็นเมนเทอร์ในโครงการ Charity Entrepreneurship, และอดีตอาจารย์ด้าน Social Entrepreneurship ที่ Berlin School of Economics and Law

ผลงานของเขาและองค์กรได้รับรางวัลระดับนานาชาติหลายรายการ รวมถึงรางวัล Momentum for Change จากสหประชาชาติ ซึ่งถือเป็นเครื่องยืนยันว่า "แผนปฏิบัติการเปลี่ยนโลกผ่านจานอาหาร" ของเขาไม่ได้เป็นเพียงอุดมคติ แต่เป็นแผนที่กำลังถูกปักหมุดทั่วโลก

ย้อนกลับไปก่อนปี 2017 Sebastian เป็นผู้อำนวยการของ VEBU ซึ่งเป็นองค์กรอาหารจากพืชที่ใหญ่ที่สุดในเยอรมนี (VEBU ย่อมาจาก Vegetarierbund Deutschland) และเขาเองก็อยู่ในวงการนี้มาตั้งแต่ยุคที่การกิน plant-based ยังถูกมองว่าเป็นเรื่อง fringe หรือนอกกระแสเลยด้วยซ้ำ

เหตุผลที่เขาเริ่ม ProVeg International แล้วมัน “ไปไกล” ได้ ผมขมวดให้เป็นข้อๆเพื่อความง่ายต่อการเข้าใจประมาณนี้ครับ

1. Sebastian ไม่ใช่แค่นักกิจกรรม เขาคือนักกลยุทธ์ เขาไม่พอใจแค่การแจกโบรชัวร์หรือชวนคนงดเนื้อวันจันทร์ (จำตัวนี้ไว้ดีๆนะครับ จะมาเล่าภายหลัง) แต่เขามองระดับ “ระบบ” มองว่าโครงสร้างใหญ่ของ นโยบาย สื่อ เศรษฐกิจ การลงทุน มหาวิทยาลัย และซัพพลายเชนอาหาร ล้วนต้องเปลี่ยนไปพร้อมกัน เขาเลยสร้าง ProVeg ขึ้นมาเป็น “แพลตฟอร์มเปลี่ยนแปลงระบบ” ไม่ใช่แค่องค์กร NGO ธรรมดา

2. เขาสร้างพันธมิตรเก่ง Sebastian มีวิธีคุยกับนักลงทุนได้ เข้าใจ startup ได้ คุยกับผู้กำหนดนโยบาย EU ได้ และคุยกับผู้บริโภคได้ด้วย เรียกว่าพูดได้หลายภาษา (ทั้งภาษาคนและภาษายุทธศาสตร์) ทำให้ ProVeg ขยับตัวแบบ agile มาก และข้ามพรมแดนได้ไว ลงลึกถึงจิตใจเหล่า startup ได้แบบพวกเดียวกัน เป็นสตีฟ จ็อบส์ ที่เฟรนด์ลี่ เลยอ่ะ

3. มองอาหารจากพืชเป็น “โอกาส” ไม่ใช่ “การเสียสละ” แนวคิดที่เขาผลักดันคือ “ทำยังไงให้การกิน plant-based เป็นเรื่องสนุก มีรสชาติ มีนวัตกรรม และทำให้คนทั่วไปเลือกโดยไม่รู้สึกว่ากำลังงดของอร่อย ทำให้คนเลือกโดยที่ไม่รู้ตัวว่าถูกกำหนดเส้นทางให้เลือก” เขาจึงให้ความสำคัญกับ startup สายอาหารและเทคโนโลยีอาหารมาก มากจนกลายมาเป็นโครงการ ProVeg Incubator กองกำลังอาหารอนาคต นั่นแหละครับ

คำพูดหนึ่งของ Sebastian ที่ถูกนำมากล่าวถึงบ่อยๆคือ It’s easy to judge the mistakes of parents or grandparents, but what are going to be the mistakes that our future grandchildren will judge us by?

เขาไม่ได้ต้องการแค่ทำให้มี “เบอร์เกอร์ที่ไม่มีเนื้อ” แต่เขาต้องการเปลี่ยนทั้งระบบอาหารให้สะท้อนค่านิยมใหม่ เหมือนที่มีการพยายามจะสะท้อนมูฟนี้ไว้ว่า

“They are not just replacing products. They are building a food system that reflects their values.”

และวิศัยทัศน์ซึ่งเขาได้อธิบายถึงแนวทางของ ProVeg ว่าไม่ได้มุ่งเน้นเฉพาะเรื่องสวัสดิภาพสัตว์เท่านั้น แต่เป็นการเปลี่ยนแปลงระบบอาหารโดยรวม เพื่อประโยชน์ต่อรสชาติ สุขภาพ ความยุติธรรม สัตว์ และสิ่งแวดล้อม We don’t frame ourselves as an animal charity but as a food awareness organisation. And we follow what we call the ‘five pros’: pro-taste, pro-health, pro-justice, pro-animals and pro-environment

เป็น 5 Pro ที่ต้องจับตามองเสียแล้วครับ

อย่างที่บอกครับว่า มันเกิดขึ้นไปแล้ว และ 2 คำพูดที่เราเคยพูดไว้เราจะยังคงยืนยันได้ตามนั้นไหม "คงโชคดีที่ตายก่อนวันนั้น" และ "ก็แค่เลือกไม่กิน" น่าคิดแล้วครับ

ความทรงจำเรานั้นเชื่อได้แน่หรือ ?

"เพราะจิตเราเกิดดับทุกเสี้ยววินาที ทุกความทรงจำจึงสร้างขึ้นมาใหม่เสมอ ดังนั้นมันก็ไม่เหมือนต้นฉบับเป็นธรรมดา แต่ยังคงเค้าโครงเดิมอยู่ ความเปลี่ยนแปลงจึงเป็นนิรันดร์ค่ะ" - Lina Engword

เรามักจะคิดว่าความทรงจำของเราคือการบันทึกเหตุการณ์ในอดีตไว้อย่างแม่นยำ เหมือนการดูวิดีโอ 📼 หรือเปิดไฟล์คอมพิวเตอร์ 💾 แต่ในความเป็นจริงแล้ว แนวคิดนี้อาจไม่ใช่ภาพที่สมบูรณ์ บทความที่เรานำมาวิเคราะห์นี้ได้นำเสนอข้อคิดที่น่าสนใจเกี่ยวกับธรรมชาติของความทรงจำมนุษย์ ความน่าเชื่อถือของมัน และเชื่อมโยงไปถึงความจำเป็นในการฝึกฝนจิตตามหลักพุทธศาสนาเพื่อเข้าถึงความจริงที่เที่ยงแท้ 🧘‍♀️🔍

ความทรงจำไม่ใช่การบันทึก แต่เป็นการสร้างใหม่ 🏗️🧩

ประเด็นสำคัญที่บทความชี้ให้เห็นคือ ความทรงจำของมนุษย์ไม่ได้ทำงานเหมือนการ "บันทึก" เหตุการณ์ไว้ตายตัว 📼❌ แต่เปรียบเสมือน "ชิ้นส่วนของโค้ด" 💻 ที่จะถูก "สร้างขึ้นใหม่" 🏗️ ทุกครั้งที่เราพยายามระลึกถึง นั่นหมายความว่า ทุกครั้งที่เราดึงความทรงจำเก่าๆ กลับมา มันไม่ใช่การเปิดไฟล์เดิมซ้ำๆ แต่เป็นการประกอบชิ้นส่วนเหล่านั้นขึ้นมาใหม่ในห้วงเวลานั้นๆ กระบวนการนี้เองที่เปิดโอกาสให้เกิดการ "เติมเต็ม" ✨ หรือ "แก้ไข" ✏️ ข้อมูลในความทรงจำอยู่เสมอ ทำให้ความทรงจำที่เราเพิ่งนึกถึงอาจไม่เหมือนกับความทรงจำครั้งก่อนหน้าเสียทีเดียว 🔄

การปรุงแต่งด้วยเหตุผลและความคุ้นเคย 🤔➕🏠

สิ่งที่น่าสนใจอย่างยิ่งคือ ในกระบวนการ "สร้างใหม่" หรือ "ประกอบ" ความทรงจำขึ้นมานี้ มนุษย์มักจะเติม "เหตุผล"💡 หรือใส่สิ่งที่ตนเอง "คุ้นเคย" 🏠 ลงไปในเรื่องราวที่ระลึกได้เสมอ แม้ว่าสิ่งเหล่านั้นอาจจะไม่ได้เกิดขึ้นจริงหรือไม่เกี่ยวข้องโดยตรงกับเหตุการณ์นั้นๆ ก็ตาม ยกตัวอย่างเช่น เมื่อเราเล่าเรื่องในอดีต เรามักจะอธิบายว่าทำไมเราถึงทำสิ่งนั้น หรือทำไมเหตุการณ์นี้ถึงเกิดขึ้น โดยใส่เหตุผลที่เราคิดว่าสมเหตุสมผลในปัจจุบันลงไป สิ่งนี้ทำให้เรื่องราวในความทรงจำของเราดูมีความเชื่อมโยงและฟังดู "จริง" ✅ มากขึ้นในสายตาของเราเอง

เมื่อเราใส่เหตุผลหรือรายละเอียดที่คุ้นเคยลงไปในความทรงจำบ่อยครั้งเข้า มันก็จะยิ่งทำให้เรา "เชื่อ" 👍 โดยสนิทใจว่าสิ่งที่เราระลึกได้นั้นคือความจริงทั้งหมด ทั้งที่ความเป็นจริงของเหตุการณ์ดั้งเดิมอาจแตกต่างออกไป 🤥 นี่คือสาเหตุว่าทำไมคนสองคนจึงอาจมีความทรงจำเกี่ยวกับเหตุการณ์เดียวกันที่แตกต่างกันอย่างสิ้นเชิง ซึ่งปรากฏการณ์นี้สามารถอธิบายได้ดีด้วยตัวอย่างคลาสสิกในภาพยนตร์เรื่อง "ราโชมอน" (Rashomon) 🎬 ที่นำเสนอเหตุการณ์เดียวผ่านมุมมองและความทรงจำของตัวละครที่ขัดแย้งกันอย่างสิ้นเชิง แต่ทุกคนต่างเชื่อในสิ่งที่ตนเองจำได้ว่าเป็นความจริง 🤔❓

เครื่องมือและกระบวนการช่วยตรวจสอบความจริง 📱📹📝🔍

จากข้อจำกัดโดยธรรมชาติของความทรงจำนี้เอง ทำให้เห็นว่าเราไม่สามารถพึ่งพาสิ่งที่ 'จำได้' เพียงอย่างเดียวได้หากต้องการเข้าถึงความจริงที่เที่ยงแท้ เราจึงจำเป็นต้องมี 'กระบวนการตรวจสอบ' 🤔🔍 มาช่วยยืนยันหรือแก้ไขข้อมูลในความทรงจำ

ในยุคปัจจุบัน เรามีเครื่องมือภายนอกมากมายที่ช่วยในกระบวนการนี้ เช่น กล้องจากสมาร์ทโฟน 📱 หรือกล้องวงจรปิด 📹 ที่บันทึกเหตุการณ์ต่างๆ ไว้ได้อย่างเป็นกลาง ทำให้เรามี 'หลักฐาน' 📄 ที่เป็นรูปธรรมไว้อ้างอิงเพื่อเปรียบเทียบกับความทรงจำส่วนตัว ซึ่งบ่อยครั้งสิ่งที่กล้องเห็นนั้น 'ตรงกับความจริง' ✅ ในมุมมองที่ปราศจากอคติมากกว่าสิ่งที่ใจเราจำได้ การจดบันทึกด้วยเสียง 🎤 หรือการจดบันทึกเป็นลายลักษณ์อักษร 📝 ในทันที ก็เป็นอีกวิธีหนึ่งที่ช่วย 'ตรึง' ข้อมูลเบื้องต้นไว้ได้ระดับหนึ่งเช่นกัน ✍️

นอกจากเครื่องมือภายนอกแล้ว 'กระบวนการตรวจสอบเชิงจิตวิทยา' 🤔🧠 ที่เป็นระบบ ก็สามารถช่วยให้มนุษย์ค้นพบความจริงได้เช่นกัน ไม่ว่าจะเป็นกระบวนการซักถามในเชิงนิติวิทยาศาสตร์ 👮‍♀️ หรือแม้กระทั่งการฝึกฝนจิตเพื่อให้สามารถสังเกตการณ์ทำงานของตนเองได้อย่างละเอียดลึกซึ้ง ซึ่งนำเราไปสู่แนวคิดตามหลักพุทธศาสนา...

ทำไมพุทธศาสนาจึงสอนไม่ให้เชื่อแม้เป็นความคิดตัวเอง? 🙏🧠❌

จากธรรมชาติของความทรงจำและกระบวนการปรุงแต่งของจิตใจที่อธิบายมานี้เอง ทำให้เราเห็นความเชื่อมโยงกับหลักคำสอนในพุทธศาสนา 🙏 ที่เน้นย้ำให้เรา "ไม่เชื่อแม้แต่ความคิดตัวเอง" 🧠❌ อย่างปราศจากการพิจารณา เพราะความคิด อารมณ์ ความทรงจำ หรือแม้แต่ความรู้สึกมั่นใจอย่างแรงกล้าที่เรามีนั้น อาจถูกสร้างขึ้นหรือปรุงแต่งโดยกลไกของจิตใจที่ไม่ได้สะท้อนความจริงทั้งหมด 🤥

พุทธศาสนาชี้ให้เห็นว่า การจะเข้าถึงความจริงที่แท้จริงได้นั้น 🔍 จำเป็นต้องมีกระบวนการตรวจสอบภายในจิตใจ เปรียบเสมือนการสร้าง "อัลกอริทึม" 🤖 เพื่อตรวจทานว่าสิ่งที่เราคิดหรือจำได้นั้นเป็นความจริงหรือไม่ ✅❌ การจะทำเช่นนี้ได้ ไม่ใช่เรื่องง่าย และต้องอาศัยการฝึกฝนจิตอย่าง "สมาธิอย่างมาก" 🧘‍♂️🧘‍♀️ เพื่อให้จิตมีความตั้งมั่น เป็นระบบ และสามารถ "เห็นการดำเนินไปของจิตได้อย่างเป็นระบบ" 👀🔬 เห็นว่าจิตปรุงแต่งความทรงจำอย่างไร เห็นว่าเหตุผลที่เราใส่เข้าไปนั้นจริงหรือไม่ เป็นเพียงการตีความ หรือเป็นเพียงสิ่งที่ใจเราอยากให้เป็น

บทความยังกล่าวเสริมว่า ความทรงจำที่ "สด" ✨ หรือใกล้เคียงกับเวลาที่เกิดเหตุการณ์นั้นมักจะมีความน่าเชื่อถือมากกว่า 👍 แม้จะดู "ดิบๆ" หรือไม่ผ่านการปรุงแต่งมากนัก ซึ่งสอดคล้องกับแนวคิดที่ว่ายิ่งระยะเวลาผ่านไปนานเท่าไหร่ ⏳ ยิ่งมีการเรียกคืนความทรงจำนั้นๆ บ่อยครั้ง ความทรงจำก็ยิ่งมีโอกาสถูกแก้ไข เติมเต็ม หรือปรุงแต่งด้วยเหตุผลและความคุ้นเคยมากขึ้นเท่านั้น 🔄✏️

"ใดๆในโลกนั้นคือสมมุติ ความคิดความทรงจำ ก็เป็นสมมุติเพียง แต่เราต้องรู้จักใช้สมมุติให้เป็นประโยชน์ และรู้จักใช้มันให้เป็นเพื่อดำรงอยู่บนโลก"

สรุป ✨🧠🔍

โดยสรุปแล้ว บทความนี้เตือนใจเราว่า ความทรงจำของเราไม่ใช่กล้องวิดีโอที่บันทึกทุกอย่างไว้แม่นยำ 📼❌ แต่เป็นกระบวนการสร้างสรรค์ที่ซับซ้อนซึ่งมีแนวโน้มที่จะถูกปรุงแต่งด้วยเหตุผล ความคุ้นเคย และการตีความของเราเอง 🏗️🤔🏠 ความมั่นใจที่เรามีต่อสิ่งที่จำได้นั้น ไม่ได้เป็นหลักประกันว่าเป็นความจริงเสมอไป 👍🤥

การตระหนักถึงธรรมชาติข้อนี้ของจิต และการใช้เครื่องมือภายนอก 📱📹📝 รวมถึงการฝึกฝนจิตให้สามารถสังเกตการณ์ทำงานของมันได้อย่างละเอียดรอบคอบตามหลักพุทธศาสนา 🙏🧘‍♀️ จึงเป็นกุญแจสำคัญที่จะช่วยให้เราสามารถแยกแยะระหว่าง "ความจริง" ✅ กับ "สิ่งที่จิตปรุงแต่งขึ้น" 🤥 ได้มากขึ้น และช่วยให้เราเข้าใกล้ความเข้าใจในธรรมชาติของสรรพสิ่งได้อย่างเที่ยงตรง ไม่หลงติดอยู่ในวังวนของความทรงจำและความคิดที่อาจบิดเบือนไปจากความเป็นจริง 🔄

“คณิตศาสตร์” กุญแจเวทมนตร์ นักพนัน และ นักลงทุน ในนครเฮรันเทล นามกระฉ่อนเลื่องลือในหมู่นักเสี่ยงโชค เมื่อเอ่ยถึง “การพนัน” ภาพที่ชาวเมืองมักนึกถึงคือ “ยาจกข้างถนน”

มิใช่เรื่องแปลกประหลาดอันใด เพราะเป็นที่ร่ำลือกันว่า จ้าวแห่งหอคอยรัตติกาล ผู้คุมบ่อนพนัน มักร่ายเวทมนตร์สร้างเกมให้ตนเองได้เปรียบ เพื่อดูดกลืนเงินทองของผู้มาเยือน ดังนั้น การที่สามัญชนจะพิชิตเกมในระยะยาว จึงเป็นดั่งเงามายาที่จับต้องมิได้ กระนั้น ยังมีตำนานกล่าวขานถึงผู้กล้า ที่สามารถสร้างชื่อจาก “เกมพนัน” เช่น เวเนสซา รุสโซ นักเวทย์มนตร์ผู้ใช้กฎหมายแห่งแดนไกล ใช้เวลายาวนานถึงหกปี ร่ายเวทย์สะสมทรัพย์สินกว่าร้อยล้านเหรียญทอง จากการเล่นเกมไพ่ศักดิ์สิทธิ์ “โป๊กเกอร์” หรือแม้แต่ เอ็ดเวิร์ด โอ. ทอร์ป จอมปราชญ์ผู้สร้างกำไรถึงสามแสนหกหมื่นเหรียญทอง ภายในเจ็ดราตรี จากการเล่นเกมไพ่มนตรา “แบล็กแจ็ก” ด้วยเงินทุนตั้งต้นเพียงสามแสนสามหมื่นเหรียญทอง คิดเป็นอัตราเวทย์ตอบแทนร้อยสิบส่วน! เหล่าจอมยุทธ์เหล่านี้ มิได้อาศัยเพียงโชคช่วยชั่วครั้งชั่วคราวแล้วเลือนหาย แต่พวกเขากลับสามารถร่ายเวทย์สร้างผลตอบแทนระยะยาว จนเรียกได้ว่า ใช้ “หอคอยรัตติกาล” เป็นแหล่งเสบียงเลี้ยงชีพ โดยกุญแจเวทย์ที่บุคคลเหล่านี้ใช้ ก็คือ “คณิตศาสตร์” เหตุใด “คณิตศาสตร์” จึงช่วยให้ผู้คนเอาชนะ “การพนัน” ได้? และนอกจาก “การพนัน” แล้ว “คณิตศาสตร์” ยังสามารถประยุกต์ใช้กับสิ่งใดได้อีก? นักเล่าเรื่องแห่งเฮรันเทล จักไขปริศนาให้ฟัง เบื้องต้น ขอให้ท่านลองพิจารณาตนเอง ว่าเคยประสบพบพานเหตุการณ์เหล่านี้หรือไม่: * ตั้งมั่นว่า จักเสี่ยงโชคให้ได้กำไรเพียงเล็กน้อย แล้วจักหยุดพัก * แต่หากพลาดท่าเสียที จักจำกัดการสูญเสียให้เท่าทุนเดิมที่ตั้งไว้ * ครั้นเมื่อเวทมนตร์เข้าข้าง ได้กำไรมาแล้ว กลับโลภโมโทสัน อยากได้เพิ่มอีกนิด จึงร่ายเวทย์ต่อ * ทว่ากำไรเริ่มร่อยหรอ จนเหลือเพียงทุนเดิม สุดท้ายทุนที่ตั้งไว้คราแรกก็มลายสิ้น * จำต้องหาเงินทองมาลงเพิ่ม หวังทวงทุนคืน และพบว่าต้องสูญเสียเงินก้อนนั้นไปในห้วงเวลาต่อมา ลำดับเหตุการณ์ดังกล่าว เรียกได้ว่าเป็น “วงจรอุบาทว์” สำหรับนักพนันมากมายในเฮรันเทล ปริศนาที่ตามมาก็คือ เหตุใด “วงจรอุบาทว์” นี้จึงเกิดขึ้นซ้ำแล้วซ้ำเล่า? ส่วนหนึ่ง ย่อมเป็นเพราะอารมณ์อันแปรปรวนในการเสี่ยงโชคของแต่ละคน แต่อีกส่วนที่สำคัญยิ่งกว่า ต้องกล่าวว่าเป็นผลจาก “กลไกต้องสาป” ของจ้าวแห่งหอคอยรัตติกาล ซึ่งต้องกล่าวว่า เหล่าเจ้าของหอคอยรัตติกาลนั้น จักใช้หลักการทำนองเดียวกับ “สมาคมพ่อค้าผู้พิทักษ์” คือจักเก็บเงินทองจากชนจำนวนมาก เพื่อนำมาจ่ายให้กับชนเพียงหยิบมือ เพื่อล่อลวงให้ชนทั้งหลายเสี่ยงโชคต่อไป หรือทำให้เหล่านักพนันหวังว่า จักเป็นผู้โชคดีเฉกเช่นพวกเขาบ้าง แม้จะมีผู้โชคดีที่สามารถได้กำไรในเบื้องต้น แต่ในบั้นปลายก็จักพ่ายแพ้อยู่ดี ซึ่งเป็นไปตาม “กฎแห่งจำนวนมหาศาล” เพราะจ้าวแห่งหอคอยรัตติกาลนั้น ได้คำนวณและออกแบบระบบเกมที่ตนเองได้เปรียบในระยะยาวแล้ว จากตำนานนี้ ย่อมประจักษ์ชัดว่า แม้การพนันจักเป็นเรื่องของดวงชะตา แต่ก็ถูกรังสรรค์ขึ้นจากการคำนวณทางคณิตศาสตร์ ดังนั้น หากปรารถนาจะหาหนทางเอาชนะจ้าวแห่งหอคอยรัตติกาล ก็จำต้องเข้าใจ “คณิตศาสตร์” เสียก่อน ทีนี้ จงเงี่ยหูฟัง แล้วท่านจักได้ยินข้าไขปริศนา: ๑. ปริศนาแห่ง “กำไรคาดหวัง” สำหรับการแสวงหา “เกมเสี่ยงทาย” ที่ควรค่าแก่การเล่น หรือการเสี่ยง สิ่งแรกที่นักพนันพึงกระทำคือ “การประเมินกำไรคาดหวัง” หรือ “เวทคำนวณอนาคต” “กำไรคาดหวัง” ถูกคิดค้นโดย คริสเตียน ฮอยเกนส์ นักปราชญ์เวทย์ชาวดัตช์ เพื่อประเมินว่าเกมพนันแบบใดควรค่าแก่การเล่น ซึ่งมิใช่เพียงแค่การประเมินโอกาสแห่งชัยชนะเท่านั้น แต่ต้องคิดรวมขนาดของเงินเดิมพันไปด้วย โดยสูตรเวทย์คือ: กำไรคาดหวัง = (เงินที่ได้ x โอกาสชนะ) + (เงินที่เสีย x โอกาสแพ้) ดังนั้น หากปรารถนาจะสะสม “ทองคำมายา” ในระยะยาว จงเลือกเกมที่มี “กำไรคาดหวัง” เป็นบวก แต่หากพลาดพลั้งเข้าไปเล่นเกมที่ “กำไรคาดหวัง” เป็นลบ และบังเอิญว่าโชคชะตาเล่นตลกให้ได้เงินทองมาครอง พึงละทิ้งเกมนั้นเสียโดยพลัน เพราะท้ายที่สุดหากยังคงเล่นต่อไป ผู้อับโชคผู้นั้นก็คือตัวท่านเอง อย่างไรก็ตาม โดยธรรมดาแล้ว “กำไรคาดหวัง” ของเกมพนันที่มีเจ้ามือมักจักติดลบ จึงเป็นเรื่องยากยิ่งที่จะเอาชนะได้ เฉกเช่นตัวอย่างที่เราเห็น คือเกมในบ่อนพนัน หรือแม้แต่ “สลากกินแบ่งรัฐบาล” ก็ล้วนเป็นเกมที่มี “กำไรคาดหวัง” ติดลบทั้งสิ้น นอกจาก “กำไรคาดหวัง” จักถูกใช้กับการพนันได้แล้ว หลักเวทย์ “คณิตศาสตร์” ก็ยังสามารถประยุกต์ใช้กับการลงทุนได้ไม่แตกต่างกัน ตัวอย่างเช่น หากท่านเก็บสถิติข้อมูลการลงทุนของตนเอง แล้วพบว่ามีเพียงสามสิบส่วนร้อยเท่านั้น ที่ท่านซื้อ “ศิลาแห่งโชค” แล้วสร้างผลตอบแทนเป็นบวก แต่ท่านยังคงปรารถนาความสำเร็จในการลงทุน ก็จงจำกัดการขาดทุนแต่ละคราให้น้อยเข้าไว้ เช่น -๕% และปล่อยให้มีกำไรในแต่ละคราที่ลงทุน เช่น อย่างน้อย ๒๐% ซึ่งจากการใช้กลยุทธ์นี้ ท่านจักมี “กำไรคาดหวัง” = (๒๐% x ๐.๓) + (-๕% x ๐.๗) = ๒.๕% จักเห็นได้ว่า แม้ท่านจักมีจำนวนคราที่ขาดทุนบ่อยครั้ง แต่ก็ยังสามารถสร้างกำไรได้ หากคราที่กำไรนั้น สามารถทำเงินทองเป็นจำนวนมากได้ ๒. ปริศนาแห่ง “การบริหารหน้าตัก” หรือ “การบริหารเงินทุน” แม้ว่าท่านจักรับรู้ “กำไรคาดหวัง” แล้ว แต่หากท่านเผชิญหน้ากับการขาดทุนต่อเนื่องกัน ท่านก็อาจหมดเนื้อหมดตัวก่อนถึงคราที่จะกอบโกยเงินทองจากคราที่กำไร วิธีคลายปมปริศนานี้ก็คือ การมิลงเงินทองทั้งหมดของท่านในการลงทุนเพียงคราเดียว ซึ่งนอกจากการกระจายความเสี่ยงในการลงทุนหลาย “ศิลาแห่งโชค” หรือหลาย “เกมเสี่ยงทาย” แล้ว ท่านอาจกำหนดขนาดของการลงทุนแต่ละคราให้มิมากเกินไป แบบง่าย ๆ เช่น มิเกิน ๑๐% ของเงินลงทุนทั้งหมด หรือท่านอาจคำนวณขนาดของการลงทุนแต่ละคราด้วยสูตรทางคณิตศาสตร์ เช่น สูตร “การขาดทุนสูงสุดที่ท่านรับได้ (Value at Risk)” หรือ สูตร “ขนาดเดิมพันที่เหมาะสม (Kelly Formula)” ๓. ปริศนาแห่ง “อคติ” ในวงการพนัน มักมีอคติหนึ่งที่บังเกิดบ่อยครั้งกับผู้คน คือ “Gambler's Fallacy” หรือ “ความเชื่อผิด ๆ แห่งนักพนัน” ว่าหากเหตุการณ์หนึ่งบังเกิดบ่อยครั้งกว่าปรกติในช่วงเวลาหนึ่ง ๆ เหตุการณ์นั้นจักบังเกิดบ่อยครั้งน้อยลงในอนาคต ทั้ง ๆ ที่เหตุการณ์เหล่านั้นเป็นอิสระจากกันในทางสถิติ ยกตัวอย่างเช่น หากโยนเหรียญมนตราออกหัวไปแล้วสามครา ในคราที่สี่ หลายคนอาจคิดว่าโอกาสออกก้อยมากกว่าหัว แม้ว่าการโยนเหรียญแต่ละคราจะมิได้ส่งผลอันใดต่อกันเลย (จะโยนกี่ครา โอกาสหัวหรือก้อย ก็คือ ๕๐:๕๐ อยู่ยั่งยืน) หรือแม้กระทั่ง “สลากกินแบ่งรัฐบาล” มีหลายคนที่ซื้อเลขซ้ำกัน เพื่อหวังว่าจะถูกในงวดต่อ ๆ ไป ในวงการการลงทุน ก็มีลักษณะที่คล้ายคลึงกัน เช่น หาก “ศิลาแห่งโชค A” ราคาตกต่ำลงมาห้าครา บางคนอาจคิดว่าในคราที่หก ราคาของมันจักต้องเด้งขึ้นมา ซึ่งในความเป็นจริง หาได้เป็นเช่นนั้นเสมอไป จักเห็นได้ว่า แท้จริงแล้ว ไม่ว่าจักเป็น “เกมเสี่ยงทายแห่งโชคชะตา” หรือ “การผจญภัยในตลาดทุน” หากท่านมีความเข้าใจ และนำ “คณิตศาสตร์” เข้ามาเป็นรากฐาน มันก็อาจนำพาตัวท่านเอง ไปสู่จุดที่ได้เปรียบในเกมนั้น ได้เฉกเช่นกัน.. สูตรเวทย์มนตร์ที่ปรากฏในตำนาน: * กำไรคาดหวัง = (เงินที่ได้ x โอกาสชนะ) + (เงินที่เสีย x โอกาสแพ้) คำเตือนจากนักเล่าเรื่องแห่งเฮรันเทล: "พึงระลึกไว้เสมอว่า โชคชะตาเป็นสิ่งที่คาดเดาได้ยาก แม้เวทมนตร์คณิตศาสตร์จักช่วยนำทาง แต่ท้ายที่สุดแล้ว ความสำเร็จยังคงขึ้นอยู่กับการตัดสินใจและสติปัญญาของท่านเอง"

หวังว่าตำนานบทนี้จักเป็นประโยชน์แก่ท่านนะคะ

First Contact – A Film History Breakdown

🎥 Movie: Contact
📅 Year Released: 1997
🎞️ Director: Robert Zemeckis
🕰️ Scene Timestamp: ~00:35:00

---

In this pivotal moment, Dr. Ellie Arroway (Jodie Foster), working at the VLA (Very Large Array) in New Mexico, detects a powerful and unusual signal emanating from the star system Vega, over 25 light-years away. It starts with rhythmic pulses—prime numbers—and escalates into layers of encoded information. The calm night shatters into focused chaos as the team realizes they might be witnessing the first confirmed evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence.

---

🎥 Camera Work:
Zemeckis uses slow zooms, wide shots of the VLA dishes moving in synchrony, and mid-shots on Ellie as she listens with growing awe and panic. The kinetic handheld camera inside the lab mirrors the rising tension.

💡 Lighting:
Low-key, naturalistic nighttime lighting dominates the outdoor shots, enhancing the eerie isolation of the array. Indoors, practical lab lighting creates a realistic, clinical setting.

✂️ Editing:
The pacing builds through quick intercuts between the signal readouts, Ellie’s expressions, and the reactions of her team. This accelerates tension while maintaining clarity.

🔊 Sound:
The rhythmic signal becomes the scene’s pulse. We begin with ambient night silence, then transition to the raw audio of the alien transmission. It’s diegetic (heard by the characters), and as it builds, a subtle score underscores the awe and urgency. Every beep feels weighty.

---

Released in 1997, Contact emerged during a period of growing public interest in both SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) and skepticism about science in the post-Cold War world. It was also the era of X-Files and the Mars Pathfinder mission, where space and the unknown dominated media.

The scene reflects 1990s optimism about technology and the belief that answers to humanity’s biggest questions might lie beyond Earth—balanced against the bureaucratic red tape and political pressures that real scientists face.

• Classic procedural sci-fi like 2001: A Space Odyssey and Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
• Real-world SETI protocols and the actual scientists Carl Sagan consulted with.
• The radio broadcast scene reflects Sagan’s own passion for communication and cosmic connectedness.

This scene set a new benchmark for depicting science authentically in fiction. Many real-world SETI scientists cite Contact as an accurate portrayal of their field. It also influenced later films like Arrival and Interstellar, which similarly blend emotion with science.

---

The signal is more than data—it’s a modern miracle. It represents Ellie’s faith in science, the power of patience, and humanity's yearning to not be alone.

The use of prime numbers symbolizes universal language—mathematics as a bridge between species. The scene’s pacing reflects the clash between logic and emotion, science and wonder.

The signal itself acts as a metaphor for belief: you can't "see" the sender, but you believe they’re out there. It’s the crux of the entire movie’s science vs. faith dichotomy.

---

This scene hits hard because it captures pure awe—the mix of fear, wonder, and purpose when faced with the unknown. Watching Ellie realize she's not alone mirrors how we all feel when our faith (in science, in hope, in truth) is rewarded.

For filmmakers and students, this scene is a masterclass in procedural suspense, realistic portrayal of science, and using audiovisual cues to build tension without needing action or violence.

It reminds us that the greatest cinematic moments don’t always come from spectacle, but from stillness, sound, and a scientist whispering: “We got something.”

You ever tried sending money, but your bank’s ‘closed’ on a weekend? Yeah, Web3 don’t believe in that. It’s freedom, 24/7.

Web2 is like ordering food from a restaurant — you get fed, but you don’t control the kitchen. Web3 is like owning the kitchen and the recipe. You cook, serve, and keep the profits

@ 0e67f053:cb1d4b93

By Carl Tuckerson, Meditations from the Hammock

Friends, allies, co-op board members,

Today, I want to take you on a journey—not to the quiet forests of Vermont or the artisanal kombucha stalls of Brooklyn—but to the front lines of democracy. And by front lines, I mean a rally held in a gentrified park, complete with food trucks, free Wi-Fi, and a deeply spiritual DJ set by DJ Woketopus.

Our guides on this revolutionary road? None other than Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders—a duo so progressive, their combined carbon footprint is negative and their vibes are certified conflict-free.

Scene One: The AOC Entrance (Cue Wind Machine)

The crowd hushes. A soft breeze flutters through sustainably grown hemp banners. Suddenly, she appears—AOC—draped in a blazer that screams “legislative power” and sneakers that whisper, “I could out-dance your entire state legislature.”

She speaks with a cadence forged in the fires of Instagram Live and Twitter threads. Every word is like a spoken-word poem wrapped in policy suggestions that will never pass but look so good on a T-shirt.

She calls Trump a threat to democracy—and everyone nods, because yes, obviously. But also because they’re still unsure if that last part was a policy point or a spoken-word interlude.

Somewhere in the back, a guy with a ukulele weeps softly.

Scene Two: Bernie Time (All Caps Optional, Volume Not)

Then comes Bernie—the only politician who can yell about billionaires and still make you feel like you’re being tucked in by a democratic socialist grandfather.

His hair is unbrushed. His heart? Unbreakable.

He shouts about wealth inequality while standing in front of a solar-powered stage built with union labor and good intentions. He points at the sky like he's mad at God for not nationalizing the clouds.

The crowd roars. Someone faints from emotional over-stimulation—or dehydration from sipping too many organic yerba mates.

He calls Trump a fascist, which is legally required in Act II of any progressive rally. Everyone cheers. Then someone yells “cancel student debt!” and Bernie yells louder—because he was going to do that anyway.

Scene Three: The Ritual Chanting of Buzzwords

What follows is a flurry of chants so thoroughly poll-tested they could cure electoral apathy:

• “Healthcare is a human right!” (Yes.)

• “Tax the rich!” (Always.)

• “Eat the rich!” (Too far, but okay if they’re vegan.)

• “No Trump! No KKK! No Billionaire DNA!” (Unclear what that last one means, but we’re vibing.)

Volunteers pass out pamphlets written in Comic Sans because irony. Every QR code leads to a Substack.

AOC calls for mutual aid. Bernie calls for a revolution. The crowd calls for a bathroom that isn’t just three compostable porta-potties guarded by an anarchist who failed the bar exam.

It is, in a word, activism.

Final Scene: Nothing Changes, But the Vibes Were Immaculate

After hours of chanting, cheering, and posting Instagram Stories tagged #ResistButMakeItFashion, the rally ends.

Trump, somehow, still exists.

But that’s okay, because we felt something. We were seen. We were heard. And most importantly, we posted about it.

No laws were passed. No systems dismantled. But our hashtags slapped. And at the end of the day, isn’t that what democracy is all about?

Stay outraged. Stay hopeful. Stay performatively progressive.

We’ll see you tomorrow—for a march, a meme, or a minor policy concession that makes us feel like we changed the world.

Peace, love, and unsubtle slogans,

— Carl

About Me

I come to Nostr with extensive experience in the digital landscape. As a blockchain native since 2017, I've witnessed the evolution of decentralized technologies firsthand. Most of my professional career has been spent working within big tech companies, giving me a unique perspective on both centralized and decentralized systems.

My social media journey began on Twitter in 2007, where I've maintained a presence for over 17 years. I've also explored other decentralized social platforms including BlueSky, Farcaster, and Lens Protocol. As a Bitcoin maximalist, I was particularly intrigued by Nostr's compatibility with the Lightning Network, which initially drew me to the platform.

The Onboarding Challenge

The Nostr onboarding experience presents a significant hurdle for newcomers. Despite my technical background in blockchain technologies, I found the initial setup process more complicated than expected. Understanding public/private key cryptography just to join a social network creates a steeper learning curve than necessary.

BlueSky and Farcaster have demonstrated that it's possible to maintain decentralized principles while providing a more streamlined onboarding experience. Their approaches show that user-friendly design and decentralization aren't mutually exclusive concepts.

Relay Management: Room for Improvement

The concept of relays represents one of Nostr's most distinctive features, though it can be confusing for newcomers. While many clients come pre-configured with default relays, users eventually encounter situations where content or connections seem inconsistent.

When someone I've interacted with doesn't appear in my feed or doesn't respond, I'm often left wondering if we're simply on different relays. This uncertainty creates friction that doesn't exist on other platforms where connectivity is handled behind the scenes.

The relay system introduces a layer of complexity that, while important to Nostr's architecture, could benefit from better abstraction in the user experience. When using BlueSky or Farcaster, I don't need to think about the underlying infrastructure, something Nostr could learn from while maintaining its decentralized principles.

The Zap Economy: Growing Pains

The Lightning-powered zap system shows tremendous potential, but I've observed some concerning economic patterns. Longer-term Nostr users have expressed frustration about continuously sending zaps while seeing limited growth in the overall ecosystem.

Interestingly, there appears to be a connection between this liquidity issue and community growth dynamics. Some established users who voice concerns about bearing the financial burden of the zapping economy are simultaneously less welcoming to newer accounts, rarely following, engaging with, or zapping newcomers.

This creates a challenging environment for new users, who face a cold reception and have little incentive to load their Lightning wallets or participate in the zap economy. Why bring fresh liquidity to a platform where established users rarely engage with your content? This dynamic has limited the expansion of the ecosystem, with the same sats often circulating among established users rather than growing with new participants.

Client Diversity: Strength and Challenge

Nostr's multiple client options offer users choice, which is valuable. However, the implementation of NIPs (Nostr Implementation Possibilities) varies across clients, creating inconsistent experiences. Features that work seamlessly in one client might be implemented differently in another.

This extends to fundamental aspects like search functionality, thread navigation, and notification systems, all of which can differ significantly between clients. For users accustomed to consistent experiences, this fragmentation creates a learning curve with each new client they try.

Lightning Integration: Varying Experiences

The Lightning Network integration varies in quality and user experience across Nostr clients. While the functionality is generally present, the implementation quality, feature set, and ease of use differ depending on which client you choose.

This inconsistency means users may need to experiment with several clients to find one that provides the Lightning experience they're looking for, rather than having a consistent experience across the ecosystem.

Finding Balance

Nostr appears to be navigating the challenge of balancing technical innovation with user experience. While its cryptographic foundation and decentralized architecture are impressive technical achievements, these same strengths sometimes come at the cost of accessibility.

Despite my technical background and interest in decentralized technologies, I find myself using BlueSky and Farcaster more frequently for daily social interactions, while checking Nostr less often. For Nostr to achieve its potential for broader adoption, addressing these user experience considerations while maintaining its core principles will be essential.

The platform has tremendous potential with improvements to user experience, community dynamics, and economic sustainability, Nostr could evolve from a fascinating technical experiment into a truly compelling alternative to mainstream social media.

Die Wahrheit verletzt tiefer als jede Beleidigung. \ Marquis de Sade

Sagen Sie niemals «Terroristin B.», «Schwachkopf H.», «korrupter Drecksack S.» oder «Meinungsfreiheitshasserin F.» und verkneifen Sie sich Memes, denn so etwas könnte Ihnen als Beleidigung oder Verleumdung ausgelegt werden und rechtliche Konsequenzen haben. Auch mit einer Frau M.-A. S.-Z. ist in dieser Beziehung nicht zu spaßen, sie gehört zu den Top-Anzeigenstellern.

«Politikerbeleidigung» als Straftatbestand wurde 2021 im Kampf gegen «Rechtsextremismus und Hasskriminalität» in Deutschland eingeführt, damals noch unter der Regierung Merkel. Im Gesetz nicht festgehalten ist die Unterscheidung zwischen schlechter Hetze und guter Hetze – trotzdem ist das gängige Praxis, wie der Titel fast schon nahelegt.

So dürfen Sie als Politikerin heute den Tesla als «Nazi-Auto» bezeichnen und dies ausdrücklich auf den Firmengründer Elon Musk und dessen «rechtsextreme Positionen» beziehen, welche Sie nicht einmal belegen müssen. [1] Vielleicht ernten Sie Proteste, jedoch vorrangig wegen der «gut bezahlten, unbefristeten Arbeitsplätze» in Brandenburg. Ihren Tweet hat die Berliner Senatorin Cansel Kiziltepe inzwischen offenbar dennoch gelöscht.

Dass es um die Meinungs- und Pressefreiheit in der Bundesrepublik nicht mehr allzu gut bestellt ist, befürchtet man inzwischen auch schon im Ausland. Der Fall des Journalisten David Bendels, der kürzlich wegen eines Faeser-Memes zu sieben Monaten Haft auf Bewährung verurteilt wurde, führte in diversen Medien zu Empörung. Die Welt versteckte ihre Kritik mit dem Titel «Ein Urteil wie aus einer Diktatur» hinter einer Bezahlschranke.

Unschöne, heutzutage vielleicht strafbare Kommentare würden mir auch zu einigen anderen Themen und Akteuren einfallen. Ein Kandidat wäre der deutsche Bundesgesundheitsminister (ja, er ist es tatsächlich immer noch). Während sich in den USA auf dem Gebiet etwas bewegt und zum Beispiel Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will, dass die Gesundheitsbehörde (CDC) keine Covid-Impfungen für Kinder mehr empfiehlt, möchte Karl Lauterbach vor allem das Corona-Lügengebäude vor dem Einsturz bewahren.

«Ich habe nie geglaubt, dass die Impfungen nebenwirkungsfrei sind», sagte Lauterbach jüngst der ZDF-Journalistin Sarah Tacke. Das steht in krassem Widerspruch zu seiner früher verbreiteten Behauptung, die Gen-Injektionen hätten keine Nebenwirkungen. Damit entlarvt er sich selbst als Lügner. Die Bezeichnung ist absolut berechtigt, dieser Mann dürfte keinerlei politische Verantwortung tragen und das Verhalten verlangt nach einer rechtlichen Überprüfung. Leider ist ja die Justiz anderweitig beschäftigt und hat außerdem selbst keine weiße Weste.

Obendrein kämpfte der Herr Minister für eine allgemeine Impfpflicht. Er beschwor dabei das Schließen einer «Impflücke», wie es die Weltgesundheitsorganisation – die «wegen Trump» in finanziellen Schwierigkeiten steckt – bis heute tut. Die WHO lässt aktuell ihre «Europäische Impfwoche» propagieren, bei der interessanterweise von Covid nicht mehr groß die Rede ist.

Einen «Klima-Leugner» würden manche wohl Nir Shaviv nennen, das ist ja nicht strafbar. Der Astrophysiker weist nämlich die Behauptung von einer Klimakrise zurück. Gemäß seiner Forschung ist mindestens die Hälfte der Erderwärmung nicht auf menschliche Emissionen, sondern auf Veränderungen im Sonnenverhalten zurückzuführen.

Das passt vielleicht auch den «Klima-Hysterikern» der britischen Regierung ins Konzept, die gerade Experimente zur Verdunkelung der Sonne angekündigt haben. Produzenten von Kunstfleisch oder Betreiber von Insektenfarmen würden dagegen vermutlich die Geschichte vom fatalen CO2 bevorzugen. Ihnen würde es besser passen, wenn der verantwortungsvolle Erdenbürger sein Verhalten gründlich ändern müsste.

In unserer völlig verkehrten Welt, in der praktisch jede Verlautbarung außerhalb der abgesegneten Narrative potenziell strafbar sein kann, gehört fast schon Mut dazu, Dinge offen anzusprechen. Im «besten Deutschland aller Zeiten» glaubten letztes Jahr nur noch 40 Prozent der Menschen, ihre Meinung frei äußern zu können. Das ist ein Armutszeugnis, und es sieht nicht gerade nach Besserung aus. Umso wichtiger ist es, dagegen anzugehen.

Mit dem Internet kam das Ende der Massengesellschaft. Heutzutage sind Öffentlichkeit im Allgemeinen und die digitale Öffentlichkeit im Besonderen nur als Netzwerk verstehbar. Nicht als Netzwerk zur Kommunikation, sondern als Netzwerk der Beziehungen, bestehend aus den Erwartungen, Kenntnissen und letztlich bestehend aus dem Vertrauen, das Menschen gegenüber anderen Menschen und Institutionen aufzubauen pflegen. Wichtig ist nicht mehr, wo jemand eine Information plaziert, wichtig ist, wann und wer und unter Einbeziehung welcher Faktoren diese abfragt.

In Sozialen Netzwerken entscheidet jeder selbst, wem er folgt. Er entscheidet selbst, wie die eigene Startseite, der eigene Blick auf den Dienst, aussieht. Als Beispiel sei hier Twitter erwähnt. Aus der Liste der Gefolgten wird die Timeline generiert, die eine Wirklichkeit abbildet, die einzig und alleine von den Following-Entscheidungen des Nutzers bestimmt ist.

Die Beziehungsweise des Folgens ist eine direkte Willenserklärung, die Inhalte eines Users sehen zu wollen. Sie ist ein Pakt, der auch eine gewisse, wenn auch kleine, Verantwortungsübernahme bedeutet. Und diese Beziehungsweise wurde zum integralen Strukturbaustein der digitalen Öffentlichkeit zwischen 2010 bis 2020 und damit auch zur tragenden Säule vieler Karrieren, Geschäftsmodellen und außerdem zur Grundlage der Selektionsverfahren von kulturellen Trends. Im Follower steckte die Macht.

Die digitale Öffentlichkeit hat aufgehört eine vernetzte Öffentlichkeit zu sein und geht zunehmend in den „For you“-Algorithmen der kommerziellen Plattformen auf. Ab 2020 wurde dem Follower von Diensten wie Tiktok der Gar ausgemacht und von dort setzte sich der „For You-Algoritmus“ auf allen kommerziellen Plattformen durch. 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. Auf einmal bedeutete ein Following nicht mehr die Garantie, dass der Content die Abonnenten erreicht.

Mit der Zerstörung dieser Beziehung entgleiten den Creators ihre medialen Regime und beide, User und Creator werden immer abhängiger vom Algorithmus und arbeiten folglich nur noch für die Interessen der Plattformen, statt für sich selbst.

The operational landscape for Nostr relay operators is fraught with multifaceted challenges that not only pertain to technical feasibility but also address pivotal economic realities in an increasingly censored digital environment.

While the infrastructure required to run a Nostr relay can be considered comparatively lightweight in terms of hardware demands, the operators must navigate a spectrum of operational hurdles and associated costs. Key among these are bandwidth allocation, effective spam mitigation, comprehensive security protocols, and the critical need for sustained uptime.

To ensure economic viability amidst these challenges, many relay operators have implemented various strategies, including the introduction of rate limiting mechanisms and subscription-based financial models that leverage user payments to subsidize operational costs. The conundrum remains: how can the Nostr framework evolve to permit relay operators to cultivate at least a singular relay to its fullest operational efficiency?

It is essential to note that while the trajectory of user engagement with these relays remains profoundly unpredictable—analogous to the nebulous impetus behind their initial inception—indicators within our broader economic and sociocultural contexts illuminate potential pathways to harmonizing commercial interests with user interaction through the robust capabilities of websocket relays.

A few musingsI beg you to think about the Evolutionary Trajectory of Nostr Infrastructure Leveraging BDK (Bitcoin Development Kit) and NDK (Nostr Development Kit) in the Context of Sovereign Communication Infrastructure

As the Nostr ecosystem transitions through its iterative phases of maturity, the infrastructure, notably the relays, is projected to undergo significant enhancements to accommodate an array of emerging protocols, particularly highlighted by the Mostr Bridge implementation.

Additionally, the integration of decentralized identity frameworks, exemplified by PKARR (Public-Key Addressable Resource Records), signifies a robust evolutionary step towards fostering user accountability and autonomy.

Moreover, the introduction of sophisticated filtering mechanisms, including but not limited to Set Based Reconciliation techniques, seeks to refine the user interface by enabling more granular control over content visibility and interaction dynamics.

These progressive innovations are meticulously designed to augment the overall user experience while steadfastly adhering to the foundational ethos of the Nostr protocol, which emphasizes the principles of digital freedom, uncurtailed access to publication, and the establishment of a harassment-free digital environment devoid of shadowbanning practices.

Such advancements underscore the balancing act between technological progression and ethical considerations in decentralized communication frameworks.

Redistributing Git with Nostr

Every time someone tries to "decentralize" Git -- like many projects tried in the past to do it with BitTorrent, IPFS, ScuttleButt or custom p2p protocols -- there is always a lurking comment: "but Git is already distributed!", and then the discussion proceeds to mention some facts about how Git supports multiple remotes and its magic syncing and merging abilities and so on.

Turns out all that is true, Git is indeed all that powerful, and yet GitHub is the big central hub that hosts basically all Git repositories in the giant world of open-source. There are some crazy people that host their stuff elsewhere, but these projects end up not being found by many people, and even when they do they suffer from lack of contributions.

Because everybody has a GitHub account it's easy to open a pull request to a repository of a project you're using if it's on GitHub (to be fair I think it's very annoying to have to clone the repository, then add it as a remote locally, push to it, then go on the web UI and click to open a pull request, then that cloned repository lurks forever in your profile unless you go through 16 screens to delete it -- but people in general seem to think it's easy).

It's much harder to do it on some random other server where some project might be hosted, because now you have to add 4 more even more annoying steps: create an account; pick a password; confirm an email address; setup SSH keys for pushing. (And I'm not even mentioning the basic impossibility of offering push access to external unknown contributors to people who want to host their own simple homemade Git server.)

At this point some may argue that we could all have accounts on GitLab, or Codeberg or wherever else, then those steps are removed. Besides not being a practical strategy this pseudo solution misses the point of being decentralized (or distributed, who knows) entirely: it's far from the ideal to force everybody to have the double of account management and SSH setup work in order to have the open-source world controlled by two shady companies instead of one.

What we want is to give every person the opportunity to host their own Git server without being ostracized. at the same time we must recognize that most people won't want to host their own servers (not even most open-source programmers!) and give everybody the ability to host their stuff on multi-tenant servers (such as GitHub) too. Importantly, though, if we allow for a random person to have a standalone Git server on a standalone server they host themselves on their wood cabin that also means any new hosting company can show up and start offering Git hosting, with or without new cool features, charging high or low or zero, and be immediately competing against GitHub or GitLab, i.e. we must remove the network-effect centralization pressure.

External contributions

The first problem we have to solve is: how can Bob contribute to Alice's repository without having an account on Alice's server?

SourceHut has reminded GitHub users that Git has always had this (for most) arcane git send-email command that is the original way to send patches, using an once-open protocol.

Turns out Nostr acts as a quite powerful email replacement and can be used to send text content just like email, therefore patches are a very good fit for Nostr event contents.

Once you get used to it and the proper UIs (or CLIs) are built sending and applying patches to and from others becomes a much easier flow than the intense clickops mixed with terminal copypasting that is interacting with GitHub (you have to clone the repository on GitHub, then update the remote URL in your local directory, then create a branch and then go back and turn that branch into a Pull Request, it's quite tiresome) that many people already dislike so much they went out of their way to build many GitHub CLI tools just so they could comment on issues and approve pull requests from their terminal.

Replacing GitHub features

Aside from being the "hub" that people use to send patches to other people's code (because no one can do the email flow anymore, justifiably), GitHub also has 3 other big features that are not directly related to Git, but that make its network-effect harder to overcome. Luckily Nostr can be used to create a new environment in which these same features are implemented in a more decentralized and healthy way.

Issues: bug reports, feature requests and general discussions

Since the "Issues" GitHub feature is just a bunch of text comments it should be very obvious that Nostr is a perfect fit for it.

I will not even mention the fact that Nostr is much better at threading comments than GitHub (which doesn't do it at all), which can generate much more productive and organized discussions (and you can opt out if you want).

Search

I use GitHub search all the time to find libraries and projects that may do something that I need, and it returns good results almost always. So if people migrated out to other code hosting providers wouldn't we lose it?

The fact is that even though we think everybody is on GitHub that is a globalist falsehood. Some projects are not on GitHub, and if we use only GitHub for search those will be missed. So even if we didn't have a Nostr Git alternative it would still be necessary to create a search engine that incorporated GitLab, Codeberg, SourceHut and whatnot.

Turns out on Nostr we can make that quite easy by not forcing anyone to integrate custom APIs or hardcoding Git provider URLs: each repository can make itself available by publishing an "announcement" event with a brief description and one or more Git URLs. That makes it easy for a search engine to index them -- and even automatically download the code and index the code (or index just README files or whatever) without a centralized platform ever having to be involved.

The relays where such announcements will be available play a role, of course, but that isn't a bad role: each announcement can be in multiple relays known for storing "public good" projects, some relays may curate only projects known to be very good according to some standards, other relays may allow any kind of garbage, which wouldn't make them good for a search engine to rely upon, but would still be useful in case one knows the exact thing (and from whom) they're searching for (the same is valid for all Nostr content, by the way, and that's where it's censorship-resistance comes from).

Continuous integration

GitHub Actions are a very hardly subsidized free-compute-for-all-paid-by-Microsoft feature, but one that isn't hard to replace at all. In fact there exists today many companies offering the same kind of service out there -- although they are mostly targeting businesses and not open-source projects, before GitHub Actions was introduced there were also many that were heavily used by open-source projects.

One problem is that these services are still heavily tied to GitHub today, they require a GitHub login, sometimes BitBucket and GitLab and whatnot, and do not allow one to paste an arbitrary Git server URL, but that isn't a thing that is very hard to change anyway, or to start from scratch. All we need are services that offer the CI/CD flows, perhaps using the same framework of GitHub Actions (although I would prefer to not use that messy garbage), and charge some few satoshis for it.

It may be the case that all the current services only support the big Git hosting platforms because they rely on their proprietary APIs, most notably the webhooks dispatched when a repository is updated, to trigger the jobs. It doesn't have to be said that Nostr can also solve that problem very easily.

Let’s break it down.

🎭 The Cultural Love for Hype

Trinidadians are no strangers to investing. We invest in pyramid schemes, blessing circles, overpriced insurance packages, corrupt ministries, miracle crusades, and football teams that haven’t kicked a ball in years. Anything wrapped in emotion, religion, or political flag-waving gets support—no questions asked.

Bitcoin, on the other hand, demands research, self-custody, and personal responsibility. That’s not sexy in a culture where people would rather “leave it to God,” “vote them out,” or “put some pressure on the boss man.”

🧠 The Mindset Gap

There’s a deep psychological barrier here:

Fear of responsibility: Bitcoin doesn’t come with customer service. It puts you in control—and that scares people used to blaming the bank, the government, or the devil.

Love for middlemen: Whether it’s pastors, politicians, or financiers, Trinidad loves an “intercessor.” Bitcoin removes them all.

Resistance to abstraction: We’re tactile people. We want paper receipts, printed statements, and "real money." Bitcoin’s digital nature makes it feel unreal—despite being harder money than the TT dollar will ever be.

🔥 What Gets Us Excited

Let a pastor say God told him to buy a jet—people pledge money.

Let a politician promise a ghost job—people campaign.

Let a friend say he knows a man that can flip $100 into $500—people sign up.

But tell someone to download a Bitcoin wallet, learn about self-custody, and opt out of inflation?

They tell you that’s a scam.

⚖️ The Harsh Reality

Trinidad is on the brink of a currency crisis. The TT dollar is quietly bleeding value. Bank fees rise, foreign exchange is a riddle, and financial surveillance is tightening.

Bitcoin is an escape hatch—but it requires a new kind of mindset: one rooted in self-education, long-term thinking, and personal accountability. These aren’t values we currently celebrate—but they are values we desperately need.

🟠 A Guide to Starting with Bitcoin in Trinidad

1. Understand Bitcoin

It’s not a stock or company. It’s a decentralized protocol like email—but for money.

It’s finite. Only 21 million will ever exist.

It’s permissionless. No bank, government, or pastor can block your access.

1. Get a Wallet

Start with Phoenix Wallet or Blue Wallet (for Lightning).

If you're going offline, learn about SeedSigner or Trezor for cold storage.

1. Earn or Buy BTC

Use Robosats or Peach for peer-to-peer (P2P) trading.

Ask your clients to pay in Bitcoin.

Zap content on Nostr to earn sats.

1. Secure It

Learn about seed phrases, hardware wallets, and multisig options.

Never leave your coins on exchanges.

Consider a steel backup plate.

1. Use It

Pay others in BTC.

Accept BTC for services.

Donate to freedom tech projects or communities building open internet tools.

🧭 Case In Point

Bitcoin isn’t just technology. It’s a mirror—one that reveals who we really are. Trinidad isn’t slow to adopt Bitcoin because it’s hard. We’re slow because we don’t want to let go of the comfort of being misled.

But times are changing. And the first person to wake up usually ends up leading the others.

So maybe it’s time.

Maybe you are the one to bring Bitcoin to Trinidad—not by shouting, but by living it.

The inherent heterogeneity of relay types within this ecosystem not only enhances operational agility but also significantly contributes to the overall robustness and resilience of the network architecture, empowering it to endure systemic assaults or coordinated initiatives designed to suppress specific content.

In examining the technical underpinnings of the Nostr protocol, relays are characterized by their exceptional adaptability, permitting deployment across an extensive variety of hosting environments configured to achieve targeted operational objectives.

For example, strategically deploying relays in jurisdictions characterized by robust legal protections for free expression can provide effective countermeasures against local censorship and pervasive legal restrictions in regions plagued by oppressive control.

This strategic operational framework mirrors the approaches adopted by whistleblowers and activists who deliberately position their digital platforms or mirrored content within territories boasting more favorable regulatory environments regarding internet freedoms.

Alternatively, relays may also be meticulously configured to operate exclusively within offline contexts—functioning within localized area networks or leveraging air-gapped computational configurations.

Such offline relays are indispensable in scenarios necessitating disaster recovery, secure communication frameworks, or methods for grassroots documentation, thereby safeguarding sensitive data from unauthorized access, ensuring its integrity against tampering, and preserving resilience in the face of both potential disruptions in internet connectivity and overarching surveillance efforts.

Bitcoin is redefining finance, and in Asia—Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and beyond—developers, entrepreneurs, and communities are fueling this revolution. YakiHonne, a decentralized social payments app built on Nostr, sat down with Gio (nostr:npub1yrnuj56rnen08zp2h9h7p74ghgjx6ma39spmpj6w9hzxywutevsst7k5cx), a core member of Thailand’s Sats ‘N’ Facts community, to explore their mission of fostering open-source Bitcoin development. In this interview, Gio shares the origins of Sats ‘N’ Facts, the challenges of hosting Bitcoin-focused events in Asia, and how these efforts are shaping adoption across the region.

---

YakiHonne: Can you tell us about yourself and how Sats ‘N’ Facts came to life? What sparked your Bitcoin journey?

Gio: I’m originally from Europe but have called Thailand home for six years. My Bitcoin story began while working at a commercial bank, where I saw the fiat system’s flaws firsthand—things like the Cantillon Effect, where money printing favors the connected few, felt deeply unfair. That discomfort led me to Andreas Antonopoulos’ videos, which opened my eyes to Bitcoin’s potential. After moving to Bangkok, I joined the open-source scene at BOB Space, collaborating with folks on tech projects.

Sats ‘N’ Facts grew out of that spirit. We wanted to create a Bitcoin-focused community to support developers and builders in Asia. Our recent conference in Chiang Mai brought together over 70 enthusiasts from Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, and beyond, sparking collaborations like a new Lightning Network tool. It was a milestone in connecting the region’s Bitcoin ecosystem.

---

YakiHonne: What inspired the Sats ‘N’ Facts conference, and how did you attract attendees?

Gio: The event was born from a desire to create a high-signal, low-noise space for Freedom Tech in Asia. While the U.S. and Europe host major Bitcoin events, Asia’s scene is still emerging under commercial stunts. We aimed to bridge that gap, uniting developers, educators, and enthusiasts to discuss real innovations—no altcoins, no corporate agendas. Our focus was on open-source projects like Bitcoin Core, Ark, Cashu, fostering conversations that could lead to tangible contributions.

Attracting attendees wasn’t easy. We leveraged local networks, reaching out to Bitcoin communities in neighboring countries via Nostr and Telegram. Posts on X helped spread the word, and we saw developers from Laos join for the first time, which was thrilling. Sponsors like Fulgur Ventures, Utreexo, and the Bitcoin Development Kit Foundation played a huge role, covering costs so we could keep the event free and accessible.

---

YakiHonne: What challenges did you face organizing the conference in Asia?

Gio: It was a steep learning curve. Funding was the biggest hurdle—early on, we struggled to cover venue and travel costs. Thankfully, our sponsors stepped in, letting me focus on logistics, which were no small feat either. As a first-time organizer, I underestimated the chaos of a tight timeline. Day one felt like herding cats without a fixed agenda, but the energy was electric—developers debugging code together, newcomers asking big questions.

Another challenge was cultural. Bitcoin’s still niche in Asia, so convincing locals to attend took persistence; there was no local presence for some reason. Despite the hiccups, we pulled it off, hosting 60+ attendees and sparking ideas for new projects, like a Cashu wallet integration. I’d tweak the planning next time, but the raw passion made it unforgettable.

---

YakiHonne: How does YakiHonne’s vision of decentralized social payments align with Sats ‘N’ Facts’ goals? Could tools like ours support your community?

Gio: That’s a great question. YakiHonne’s approach—merging Nostr’s censorship-resistant communication with Lightning payments—fits perfectly with our mission to empower users through open tech. At Sats ‘N’ Facts, we’re all about tools that give people control, whether it’s code or money. An app like YakiHonne could streamline community funding, letting developers tip each other for contributions or crowdfund projects directly. Imagine a hackathon where winners get sats instantly via YakiHonne—it’d be a game-changer. I’d love to see you guys at our next event to demo it!

---

YakiHonne: What advice would you give to someone starting a Bitcoin-focused community or event?

Gio: First, keep it Bitcoin-only. Stay true to the principles—cut out distractions like altcoins or hype-driven schemes. Start small: host regular meetups, maybe five people at a café, and build trust over time. Consistency and authenticity beat flashiness in the medium and long term.

Second, involve technical folks. Developers bring credibility and clarity, explaining Bitcoin’s nuts and bolts in ways newcomers get. I admire how Andreas Antonopoulos bridges that gap—technical yet accessible. You need that foundation to grow a real community.

Finally, lean on existing networks. If you know someone running a Bitcoin meetup in another city, collaborate. Share ideas, speakers, or even livestreams. Nostr’s great for this—our Laos attendees found us through a single post. Relationships are everything.

---

YakiHonne: Does Sats ‘N’ Facts focus more on Bitcoin’s technical side, non-technical side, or both?

Gio: We blend both. Our event had workshops for coders alongside talks for beginners on why Bitcoin matters. Open-source is our heartbeat, though. If you’re starting out, dive into projects like Bitcoin Core or Lightning. Review a pull request, test a Cashu wallet, or join a hackathon. One developer at our event built a Lightning micropayment tool that’s now live on GitHub.

There’s no shortage of ways to contribute. Community calls, forums, residency programs, and platforms like Geyser Fund are goldmines. YakiHonne could amplify this—imagine tipping developers for bug fixes via your app. It’s about iterating until you create something real.

---

YakiHonne: Your work is inspiring, Gio. Sats ‘N’ Facts is uniting Asia’s Bitcoin communities in a powerful way. What’s next for you?

Gio: Thanks for the kind words! We’re just getting started. The Chiang Mai event showed what’s possible—connecting developers across borders, reviewing and launching code and testing upcoming technologies. Next, we’re planning smaller hackathons and other events to keep the momentum going, maybe in Vietnam, Indonesia or Korea. I’d love to integrate tools like YakiHonne to fund these efforts directly through Nostr payments. Long-term, we want Sats ‘N’ Facts to be a hub for Asia’s Bitcoin builders, proving open-source can thrive here.

---

YakiHonne: Thank you, Gio, for sharing Sats ‘N’ Facts incredible journey. Your work is lighting a path for Bitcoin in Asia, and we’re honored to tell this story.

To our readers: Bitcoin’s future depends on communities like Sats ‘N’ Facts—and you can join the revolution. Download YakiHonne on Nostr to connect with builders, send Lightning payments, and explore the decentralized world. Follow Sats ‘N’ Facts for their next hackathon, and let’s build freedom tech together!

By Carl Tuckerson, - He Distributes Zines About Bitcoin at Farmer’s Markets

It started during a cacao ceremony in Topanga Canyon.

It wasn’t a choice. It was a cosmic calling.

I was journaling on decolonized papyrus in a reclaimed yurt when a fellow anarcho-herbalist whispered the word: Bitcoin.

Instantly, the Earth trembled. My chakras aligned like a DAO. My Wi-Fi became self-aware and connected directly to the blockchain of justice.

I didn’t “buy” Bitcoin. I spiritually bartered for it using emotional labor and ethically harvested mushrooms.

To me, Bitcoin isn’t about money. It’s about radical trustlessness in a trust-starved world. It’s mutual aid with a transaction ID. It’s non-binary gold that hates banks more than I hate brunch gentrification.

People say it’s volatile. I say: so was Harriet Tubman.

Bitcoin wasn’t just a currency. It was a call to decolonize my portfolio.

I didn’t “invest.”I participated in mutual liberation through cryptographic solidarity.

I mine it with solar panels made from shattered glass ceilings. My minor is unionized. My cold wallet is buried beneath a sacred grove, guarded by a community owl named Judith. Every transaction I make burns a sage stick and sends 3.5% to a reparations fund for digital land acknowledgment servers. And every transaction includes a land acknowledgment in the memo line.

Bitcoin is the only currency that vibrates at the frequency of abolition. It is the drum circle of finance. The fist raised in protest inside a spreadsheet.

So yeah. That’s how I got into Bitcoin.

While you were chasing yield, I was burning incense on the blockchain of liberation.

Now my bitcoin is woke, and so am I.

A Decolonial Reflection on Sacred Property Destruction

By Carl Tuckerson,

Friends. Allies. Solar-powered thought leaders.

Today, I want to talk about liberation—not the easy kind, like quitting Amazon or unfollowing Elon Musk on X. I’m talking about radical liberation, the kind that involves keying a Tesla while whispering land acknowledgments under your breath.

I saw it happen. A sleek, smug, cyber-phallic Model Y parked diagonally in a bike lane, like it owned the ecosystem. And then—a hero arrived.

Not with violence. Not with anger. But with a purpose-driven glint in their eye and a freshly sharpened reusable spork.

With one long, sacred motion—scrrreeeeeetch—they inscribed the word “LAND BACK” into the hood like a decolonial haiku.

I wept. Gaia wept. The Tesla did not—we assume it doesn’t have feelings, unless Elon has figured that out yet.

And you may ask: “But isn’t that vandalism?”

To which I say: Is it vandalism, or is it performance art fueled by centuries of ecological betrayal and bad tweets?

Because let’s be honest:

• These are not cars.

• They are rolling monuments to techbro delusion.

• Shrines to lithium extraction.

• Electric yachts for the data-rich and soul-poor.

Elon Musk didn’t build Teslas to save the Earth. He built them to escape it. So when a Tesla gets “accidentally liberated” with a rock shaped like Che Guevara’s jawline, we’re not witnessing destruction—we’re witnessing reclamation.

It’s not just a scratch.It’s a scar.And scars tell stories.

Stories of resistance.Of accountability.Of a world that deserves better parking etiquette.

So the next time you see a Tesla with a shattered window and a note that says “This is what unregulated extraction feels like,” don’t call the cops. Call a therapist—for the billionaire who made it possible.

Remember: smashing is not violence if it’s done with emotional clarity and a restorative justice circle waiting nearby.

Smash the system (gently).Scratch the surface (with intention).Save the planet (symbolically, in a parking lot, at 2 a.m.).

Quando o assunto é privacidade em celulares, uma das medidas comumente mencionadas é a remoção de bloatwares do dispositivo, também chamado de debloat. O meio mais eficiente para isso sem dúvidas é a troca de sistema operacional. Custom Rom’s como LineageOS, GrapheneOS, Iodé, CalyxOS, etc, já são bastante enxutos nesse quesito, principalmente quanto não é instalado os G-Apps com o sistema. No entanto, essa prática pode acabar resultando em problemas indesejados como a perca de funções do dispositivo, e até mesmo incompatibilidade com apps bancários, tornando este método mais atrativo para quem possui mais de um dispositivo e separando um apenas para privacidade.   Pensando nisso, pessoas que possuem apenas um único dispositivo móvel, que são necessitadas desses apps ou funções, mas, ao mesmo tempo, tem essa visão em prol da privacidade, buscam por um meio-termo entre manter a Stock rom, e não ter seus dados coletados por esses bloatwares. Felizmente, a remoção de bloatwares é possível e pode ser realizada via root, ou mais da maneira que este artigo irá tratar, via adb.

O que são bloatwares?

Bloatware é a junção das palavras bloat (inchar) + software (programa), ou seja, um bloatware é basicamente um programa inútil ou facilmente substituível — colocado em seu dispositivo previamente pela fabricante e operadora — que está no seu dispositivo apenas ocupando espaço de armazenamento, consumindo memória RAM e pior, coletando seus dados e enviando para servidores externos, além de serem mais pontos de vulnerabilidades.

O que é o adb?

O Android Debug Brigde, ou apenas adb, é uma ferramenta que se utiliza das permissões de usuário shell e permite o envio de comandos vindo de um computador para um dispositivo Android exigindo apenas que a depuração USB esteja ativa, mas também pode ser usada diretamente no celular a partir do Android 11, com o uso do Termux e a depuração sem fio (ou depuração wifi). A ferramenta funciona normalmente em dispositivos sem root, e também funciona caso o celular esteja em Recovery Mode.

Requisitos:

Para computadores:

• Depuração USB ativa no celular; • Computador com adb; • Cabo USB;

Para celulares:

• Depuração sem fio (ou depuração wifi) ativa no celular; • Termux; • Android 11 ou superior;

Para ambos:

• Firewall NetGuard instalado e configurado no celular; • Lista de bloatwares para seu dispositivo;

Ativação de depuração:

Para ativar a Depuração USB em seu dispositivo, pesquise como ativar as opções de desenvolvedor de seu dispositivo, e lá ative a depuração. No caso da depuração sem fio, sua ativação irá ser necessária apenas no momento que for conectar o dispositivo ao Termux.

Instalação e configuração do NetGuard

O NetGuard pode ser instalado através da própria Google Play Store, mas de preferência instale pela F-Droid ou Github para evitar telemetria.

F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/packages/eu.faircode.netguard/

Github: https://github.com/M66B/NetGuard/releases

Após instalado, configure da seguinte maneira:

Configurações → padrões (lista branca/negra) → ative as 3 primeiras opções (bloquear wifi, bloquear dados móveis e aplicar regras ‘quando tela estiver ligada’);

Configurações → opções avançadas → ative as duas primeiras (administrar aplicativos do sistema e registrar acesso a internet);

Com isso, todos os apps estarão sendo bloqueados de acessar a internet, seja por wifi ou dados móveis, e na página principal do app basta permitir o acesso a rede para os apps que você vai usar (se necessário). Permita que o app rode em segundo plano sem restrição da otimização de bateria, assim quando o celular ligar, ele já estará ativo.

Lista de bloatwares

Nem todos os bloatwares são genéricos, haverá bloatwares diferentes conforme a marca, modelo, versão do Android, e até mesmo região.

Para obter uma lista de bloatwares de seu dispositivo, caso seu aparelho já possua um tempo de existência, você encontrará listas prontas facilmente apenas pesquisando por elas. Supondo que temos um Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus em mãos, basta pesquisar em seu motor de busca por:

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus bloatware list

Provavelmente essas listas já terão inclusas todos os bloatwares das mais diversas regiões, lhe poupando o trabalho de buscar por alguma lista mais específica.

Caso seu aparelho seja muito recente, e/ou não encontre uma lista pronta de bloatwares, devo dizer que você acaba de pegar em merda, pois é chato para um caralho pesquisar por cada aplicação para saber sua função, se é essencial para o sistema ou se é facilmente substituível.

De antemão já aviso, que mais para frente, caso vossa gostosura remova um desses aplicativos que era essencial para o sistema sem saber, vai acabar resultando na perda de alguma função importante, ou pior, ao reiniciar o aparelho o sistema pode estar quebrado, lhe obrigando a seguir com uma formatação, e repetir todo o processo novamente.

Download do adb em computadores

Para usar a ferramenta do adb em computadores, basta baixar o pacote chamado SDK platform-tools, disponível através deste link: https://developer.android.com/tools/releases/platform-tools. Por ele, você consegue o download para Windows, Mac e Linux.

Uma vez baixado, basta extrair o arquivo zipado, contendo dentro dele uma pasta chamada platform-tools que basta ser aberta no terminal para se usar o adb.

Download do adb em celulares com Termux.

Para usar a ferramenta do adb diretamente no celular, antes temos que baixar o app Termux, que é um emulador de terminal linux, e já possui o adb em seu repositório. Você encontra o app na Google Play Store, mas novamente recomendo baixar pela F-Droid ou diretamente no Github do projeto.

F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.termux/

Github: https://github.com/termux/termux-app/releases

Processo de debloat

Antes de iniciarmos, é importante deixar claro que não é para você sair removendo todos os bloatwares de cara sem mais nem menos, afinal alguns deles precisam antes ser substituídos, podem ser essenciais para você para alguma atividade ou função, ou até mesmo são insubstituíveis.

Alguns exemplos de bloatwares que a substituição é necessária antes da remoção, é o Launcher, afinal, é a interface gráfica do sistema, e o teclado, que sem ele só é possível digitar com teclado externo. O Launcher e teclado podem ser substituídos por quaisquer outros, minha recomendação pessoal é por aqueles que respeitam sua privacidade, como Pie Launcher e Simple Laucher, enquanto o teclado pelo OpenBoard e FlorisBoard, todos open-source e disponíveis da F-Droid.

Identifique entre a lista de bloatwares, quais você gosta, precisa ou prefere não substituir, de maneira alguma você é obrigado a remover todos os bloatwares possíveis, modifique seu sistema a seu bel-prazer. O NetGuard lista todos os apps do celular com o nome do pacote, com isso você pode filtrar bem qual deles não remover.

Um exemplo claro de bloatware insubstituível e, portanto, não pode ser removido, é o com.android.mtp, um protocolo onde sua função é auxiliar a comunicação do dispositivo com um computador via USB, mas por algum motivo, tem acesso a rede e se comunica frequentemente com servidores externos. Para esses casos, e melhor solução mesmo é bloquear o acesso a rede desses bloatwares com o NetGuard.

MTP tentando comunicação com servidores externos:

Executando o adb shell

No computador

Faça backup de todos os seus arquivos importantes para algum armazenamento externo, e formate seu celular com o hard reset. Após a formatação, e a ativação da depuração USB, conecte seu aparelho e o pc com o auxílio de um cabo USB. Muito provavelmente seu dispositivo irá apenas começar a carregar, por isso permita a transferência de dados, para que o computador consiga se comunicar normalmente com o celular.

Já no pc, abra a pasta platform-tools dentro do terminal, e execute o seguinte comando:

./adb start-server

O resultado deve ser:

daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037 daemon started successfully

E caso não apareça nada, execute:

./adb kill-server

E inicie novamente.

Com o adb conectado ao celular, execute:

./adb shell

Para poder executar comandos diretamente para o dispositivo. No meu caso, meu celular é um Redmi Note 8 Pro, codinome Begonia.

Logo o resultado deve ser:

begonia:/ $

Caso ocorra algum erro do tipo:

adb: device unauthorized. This adb server’s $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set Try ‘adb kill-server’ if that seems wrong. Otherwise check for a confirmation dialog on your device.

Verifique no celular se apareceu alguma confirmação para autorizar a depuração USB, caso sim, autorize e tente novamente. Caso não apareça nada, execute o kill-server e repita o processo.

No celular

Após realizar o mesmo processo de backup e hard reset citado anteriormente, instale o Termux e, com ele iniciado, execute o comando:

pkg install android-tools

Quando surgir a mensagem “Do you want to continue? [Y/n]”, basta dar enter novamente que já aceita e finaliza a instalação

Agora, vá até as opções de desenvolvedor, e ative a depuração sem fio. Dentro das opções da depuração sem fio, terá uma opção de emparelhamento do dispositivo com um código, que irá informar para você um código em emparelhamento, com um endereço IP e porta, que será usado para a conexão com o Termux.

Para facilitar o processo, recomendo que abra tanto as configurações quanto o Termux ao mesmo tempo, e divida a tela com os dois app’s, como da maneira a seguir:

Para parear o Termux com o dispositivo, não é necessário digitar o ip informado, basta trocar por “localhost”, já a porta e o código de emparelhamento, deve ser digitado exatamente como informado. Execute:

adb pair localhost:porta CódigoDeEmparelhamento

De acordo com a imagem mostrada anteriormente, o comando ficaria “adb pair localhost:41255 757495”.

Com o dispositivo emparelhado com o Termux, agora basta conectar para conseguir executar os comandos, para isso execute:

adb connect localhost:porta

Obs: a porta que você deve informar neste comando não é a mesma informada com o código de emparelhamento, e sim a informada na tela principal da depuração sem fio.

Pronto! Termux e adb conectado com sucesso ao dispositivo, agora basta executar normalmente o adb shell:

adb shell

Remoção na prática Com o adb shell executado, você está pronto para remover os bloatwares. No meu caso, irei mostrar apenas a remoção de um app (Google Maps), já que o comando é o mesmo para qualquer outro, mudando apenas o nome do pacote.

Dentro do NetGuard, verificando as informações do Google Maps:

Podemos ver que mesmo fora de uso, e com a localização do dispositivo desativado, o app está tentando loucamente se comunicar com servidores externos, e informar sabe-se lá que peste. Mas sem novidades até aqui, o mais importante é que podemos ver que o nome do pacote do Google Maps é com.google.android.apps.maps, e para o remover do celular, basta executar:

pm uninstall –user 0 com.google.android.apps.maps

E pronto, bloatware removido! Agora basta repetir o processo para o resto dos bloatwares, trocando apenas o nome do pacote.

Para acelerar o processo, você pode já criar uma lista do bloco de notas com os comandos, e quando colar no terminal, irá executar um atrás do outro.

Exemplo de lista:

Caso a donzela tenha removido alguma coisa sem querer, também é possível recuperar o pacote com o comando:

cmd package install-existing nome.do.pacote

Pós-debloat

Após limpar o máximo possível o seu sistema, reinicie o aparelho, caso entre no como recovery e não seja possível dar reboot, significa que você removeu algum app “essencial” para o sistema, e terá que formatar o aparelho e repetir toda a remoção novamente, desta vez removendo poucos bloatwares de uma vez, e reiniciando o aparelho até descobrir qual deles não pode ser removido. Sim, dá trabalho… quem mandou querer privacidade?

Caso o aparelho reinicie normalmente após a remoção, parabéns, agora basta usar seu celular como bem entender! Mantenha o NetGuard sempre executando e os bloatwares que não foram possíveis remover não irão se comunicar com servidores externos, passe a usar apps open source da F-Droid e instale outros apps através da Aurora Store ao invés da Google Play Store.

Seu teclado não deve se conectar à internet. Privacidade em primeiro lugar. Sempre. Estamos desenvolvendo um teclado moderno que respeita totalmente sua privacidade e segurança. O FUTO Keyboard é 100% offline e 100% privado, oferecendo todos os recursos essenciais que você espera de um teclado atual — incluindo digitação por deslizamento, entrada de voz offline, correção automática inteligente, temas personalizáveis e sugestões preditivas de texto. Nosso objetivo é simples: criar um teclado eficiente e funcional, sem comprometer a privacidade do usuário. Este projeto é um fork do LatinIME, o teclado open-source oficial do Android.

Atenção: o FUTO Keyboard está atualmente em fase alfa. Está trabalhando para torná-lo estável e confiável, mas durante esse período você pode encontrar bugs, travamentos ou recursos ainda não implementados.

Configurações

Idiomas e Modelos – Adicione novos idiomas, dicionários, modelos de entrada de voz, transformadores e layouts associados.

Linguagens e Modelos

O menu no qual você adiciona novos idiomas, bem como dicionários, modelos de entrada de voz, modelos de transformadores e layouts associados a eles.

Adicionar idioma.

Alguns idiomas exigem o download de um dicionário. Se você também quiser um modelo de entrada de voz para um idioma específico, precisará baixá-lo também. Cada idioma já possui uma seleção de layouts de teclado associados; você pode escolher qual(is) layout(s) deseja adicionar ao adicionar o idioma. https://video.nostr.build/c775288b7a8ee8d75816af0c7a25f2aa0b4ecc99973fd442b2badc308fa38109.mp4

Mudar idioma.

Existem duas maneiras de alternar o idioma. A primeira é pressionando o ícone do globo na Barra de Ações, localizada próximo ao canto superior esquerdo do teclado. A segunda é pressionando longamente ou deslizando a barra de espaço; você pode personalizar o comportamento de troca de idioma da barra de espaço acessando Configurações -> Teclado e Digitação -> Teclas de Pressão Longa e Barra de Espaço -> Comportamento da Barra de Espaço . Você também pode atribuir o ícone do globo como a Tecla de Ação para que fique ao lado da barra de espaço, que pode ser acessada no menu Todas as Ações pressionando a tecla de reticências (...) no canto superior esquerdo do teclado e, em seguida, acessando Editar Ações. https://video.nostr.build/ed6f7f63a9c203cd59f46419ef54a4b8b442f070f802a688ca7d682bd6811bcb.mp4

Adicionar dicionário.

Alguns idiomas têm um dicionário integrado, mas a maioria não. Se o idioma que você está instalando não tiver um dicionário integrado, você pode iniciar a instalação em nosso site acessando Idiomas e Modelos -> Dicionário (no idioma que você está instalando) -> Explorar -> Baixar (em nosso site). https://video.nostr.build/3b1e09289953b658a9cef33c41bd711095556bc48290cb2ed066d4d0a5186371.mp4

Habilitar digitação multilíngue.

Você pode habilitar a digitação multilíngue para um ou mais idiomas acessando Idiomas e modelos e marcando a caixa Digitação multilíngue no(s) idioma(s) para os quais deseja habilitar a digitação multilíngue. https://video.nostr.build/29f683410626219499787bd63058d159719553f8e33a9f3c659c51c375a682fb.mp4

Criar layout personalizado.

Se desejar criar seu próprio layout personalizado para um idioma específico, você pode fazê-lo ativando Configurações do Desenvolvedor -> Layouts Personalizados -> Criar novo layout . Mais informações sobre layouts personalizados podem ser encontradas https://github.com/futo-org/futo-keyboard-layouts . A personalização das configurações de pressionamento longo tecla por tecla ainda não é suportada, mas está em processo de implementação. https://video.nostr.build/b5993090e28794d0305424dd352ca83760bb87002c57930e80513de5917fad8d.mp4

Teclado e Digitação – Personalize o comportamento das teclas, o tamanho do teclado e outras preferências de digitação.

Previsão de texto.

O menu no qual você define suas preferências para correção automática e sugestões personalizadas. Modelo de Linguagem do Transformador Você pode fazer com que o teclado preveja a próxima palavra que você digitará ou faça correções automáticas mais inteligentes, que usam um modelo de linguagem Transformer pré-treinado com base em conjuntos de dados disponíveis publicamente, ativando o Transformer LM . Observação: atualmente, isso funciona apenas em inglês, mas estamos trabalhando para torná-lo compatível com outros idiomas. Ajuste fino do transformador Você pode fazer com que o teclado memorize o que você digita e quais sugestões você seleciona, o que treina o modelo de idioma (enquanto o telefone estiver inativo) para prever quais palavras sugerir e corrigir automaticamente enquanto você digita, ativando o ajuste fino do Transformer . Observação: este é o seu modelo de idioma pessoal e o FUTO não visualiza nem armazena nenhum dos seus dados. https://video.nostr.build/688354a63bdc48a9dd3f8605854b5631ac011009c6105f93cfa0b52b46bc40d3.mp4

Previsão de texto.

O menu no qual você define suas preferências para correção automática e sugestões personalizadas. Modelo de Linguagem do Transformador Você pode fazer com que o teclado preveja a próxima palavra que você digitará ou faça correções automáticas mais inteligentes, que usam um modelo de linguagem Transformer pré-treinado com base em conjuntos de dados disponíveis publicamente, ativando o Transformer LM . Observação: atualmente, isso funciona apenas em inglês, mas estamos trabalhando para torná-lo compatível com outros idiomas.

Ajuste fino do transformador.

Você pode fazer com que o teclado memorize o que você digita e quais sugestões você seleciona, o que treina o modelo de idioma (enquanto o telefone estiver inativo) para prever quais palavras sugerir e corrigir automaticamente enquanto você digita, ativando o ajuste fino do Transformer . Observação: este é o seu modelo de idioma pessoal e o FUTO não visualiza nem armazena nenhum dos seus dados.

Força do Modelo de Linguagem do Transformador.

Você pode fazer com que a correção automática se comporte mais como o teclado AOSP ou mais como a rede neural acessando Parâmetros avançados -> Intensidade do LM do transformador e arrastando o controle deslizante para um valor menor (o que tornará o comportamento da correção automática mais parecido com o teclado AOSP) ou um valor maior (o que tornará a correção automática mais dependente da rede neural). Limiar de correção automática Você pode alterar o limite da correção automática para que ela ocorra com mais ou menos frequência acessando Parâmetros avançados -> Limite de correção automática e arrastando o controle deslizante para um valor menor (o que fará com que a correção automática ocorra com mais frequência, mas também corrija erros com mais frequência) ou um valor maior (o que fará com que a correção automática ocorra com menos frequência, mas também corrija erros com menos frequência). https://video.nostr.build/ea9c100081acfcab60343c494a91f789ef8143c92343522ec34c714913631cf7.mp4

Lista negra de palavras.

Você pode colocar sugestões de palavras na lista negra, o que impedirá que o teclado continue sugerindo palavras na lista negra, acessando Sugestões na lista negra e adicionando as palavras que você gostaria de colocar na lista negra.

Palavras ofensivas.

Você pode bloquear palavras ofensivas, como palavrões comuns, acessando Sugestões na Lista Negra e marcando a opção Bloquear Palavras Ofensivas . Observação: a opção Bloquear Palavras Ofensivas está ativada por padrão. https://video.nostr.build/ee72f3940b9789bbea222c95ee74d646aae1a0f3bf658ef8114c6f7942bb50f5.mp4

Correção automática.

Você pode ativar a capacidade de corrigir automaticamente palavras digitadas incorretamente ao pressionar a barra de espaço ou digitar pontuação ativando a Correção automática.

Sugestões de correção.

Você pode ativar a capacidade de exibir palavras sugeridas enquanto digita marcando a opção Mostrar sugestões de correção.

Sugestões de palavras.

Você pode ativar a capacidade de aprender com suas comunicações e dados digitados para melhorar as sugestões ativando as Sugestões personalizadas . Observação: desativar as Sugestões personalizadas também desativa o ajuste fino do Transformer. https://video.nostr.build/2c22d109b9192eac8fe4533b3f8e3e1b5896dfd043817bd460c48a5b989b7a2f.mp4

Entrada de Voz – Configure a entrada de voz offline, incluindo a duração e a conversão de fala em texto.

Entrada de voz.

O menu no qual você define suas preferências de entrada de voz, como duração da entrada e configurações de conversão de fala em texto. Entrada de voz integrada Você pode desabilitar a entrada de voz integrada do teclado e, em vez disso, usar o provedor de entrada de voz de um aplicativo externo desativando a opção Desabilitar entrada de voz integrada. https://video.nostr.build/68916e5b338a9f999f45aa1828a6e05ccbf8def46da9516c0f516b40ca8c827b.mp4

Sons de indicação.

Você pode habilitar a capacidade de reproduzir sons ao iniciar e cancelar a entrada de voz ativando Sons de indicação. https://video.nostr.build/7f5fb6a6173c4db18945e138146fe65444e40953d85cee1f09c1a21d236d21f5.mp4

Progresso Detalhado.

Você pode habilitar a capacidade de exibir informações detalhadas, como indicar que o microfone está sendo usado, ativando Progresso detalhado. https://video.nostr.build/8ac2bb6bdd6e7f8bd4b45da423e782c152a2b4320f2e090cbb99fd5c78e8f44f.mp4

Microfone Bluetooth.

Você pode fazer com que a entrada de voz prefira automaticamente seu microfone Bluetooth em vez do microfone integrado, ativando Preferir microfone Bluetooth. https://video.nostr.build/c11404aa6fec2dda71ceb3aaee916c6761b3015fef9575a352de66b7310dad07.mp4

Foco de áudio.

Você pode fazer com que a entrada de voz pause automaticamente vídeos ou músicas quando ela estiver ativada, ativando o Foco de Áudio. https://video.nostr.build/4ac82af53298733d0c5013ef28befb8b2adeb4a4949604308317e124b6431d40.mp4

Supressão de Símbolos.

Por padrão, a entrada de voz transcreve apenas texto básico e pontuação. Você pode desativar a opção "Suprimir símbolos" para liberar a entrada de voz da transcrição de caracteres especiais (por exemplo, @, $ ou %). Observação: Isso não afeta a forma como a entrada de voz interpreta palavras literais (por exemplo, "vírgula", "ponto final"). https://video.nostr.build/10de49c5a9e35508caa14b66da28fae991a5ac8eabad9b086959fba18c07f8f3.mp4

Entrada de voz de formato longo.

Você pode desativar o limite padrão de 30 segundos para entrada de voz ativando a opção Entrada de voz longa . Observação: a qualidade da saída pode ser prejudicada com entradas longas. https://video.nostr.build/f438ee7a42939a5a3e6d6c4471905f836f038495eb3a00b39d9996d0e552c200.mp4

Parada automática em silêncio.

Você pode fazer com que a entrada de voz pare automaticamente quando o silêncio for detectado, ativando a opção Parar automaticamente ao silenciar . Observação: se houver muito ruído de fundo, pode ser necessário interromper manualmente a entrada de voz. Ative também a entrada de voz longa para evitar a interrupção após 30 segundos. https://video.nostr.build/056567696d513add63f6dd254c0a3001530917e05e792de80c12796d43958671.mp4

Es gibt Taubenzüchter-Vereine, Schrebergarten-Vereine, nichts dagegen einzuwenden und eben auch den Bundespressekonferenz-Verein.

Voraussetzung für eine Mitgliedschaft ist das hauptberufliche Berichten über Bundespolitik, für deutsche Medien, aus Berlin und Bonn.

Wie es sich für einen ordentlichen Verein gehört, finanziert er sich aus den Mitgliederbeiträgen. Derzeit gibt es ca. 900 Parlamentskorrespondenten, die dem Verein angehören.

Bei der Chance um Aufnahme in den Verein, kann systemkonforme Berichterstattung unter Umständen hilfreich sein. Kritische Fragen, warum denn die Hecke nur 1,10 Meter hoch sein darf, hört man nicht so gerne. Das kann schon mal unangenehme Folgen haben, wie man an dem Verzicht auf Boris Reitschuster erkennen konnte. Da Florian Warwegs Garten auf der Nachdenkseite etwas außerhalb, fast auf der Grenze liegt, musste er sich in den Verein hineinklagen.

Wie es sich für einen ordentlichen Verein gehört, organisiert man einmal im Jahr ein Schrebergartenfest, das heißt beim BPK-Verein Bundespresseball. Für diese jährliche Sause wurde eigens die Bundespresseball GmbH gegründet, dessen alleiniger Gesellschafter die BPK ist. Eine GmbH wurde sicher nur deshalb gegründet, um die Haftung beim Eingehen von Verträgen zu beschränken. Mögliche Gewinne sind wohl eher ein Abfallprodukt. Hier könnte man näher nachschauen, auf welcher Müllhalde die landen.

Dem Beispiel folgend sollte der Schrebergarten-Verein eine Lampion GmbH und der Taubenzüchter-Verein eine Gurr-Gurr GmbH gründen.

Auf dem Bundespresseball feiert man sich selbst, um seiner selbst willen. Und man geht einer traditionellen Handwerkskunst nach, dem Knüpfen. Das Küren, wer die schönste Taube oder die dicksten Kartoffeln im Garten hat, ist nicht bekannt.

Erfahrung durch die Organisation von Show-Einlagen auf dem Bundespresseball kommen der Bundespressekonferenz sehr zugute.

Die deutsche Bundespolitik glänzt derzeit mit einem ungeheuren Optimierungspotenzial. Florian Warweg lässt mit seinen, leider oft lästigen Fragen, gerne auch einmal Friedenstäubchen fliegen, die in den heiligen Hallen gar nicht gerne gesehen werden, schon gar nicht, wenn sie … Federn lassen.

Auch werden leider regelmäßig giftige Äpfelchen gereicht, in die man gar nicht gerne hineinbeißen möchte.

Das Ergebnis sind dann eigentlich immer Aussagen, die an Durchhalteparolen kurz vor dem Untergang erinnern möchten: Wir haben die schönsten Gärten in Berlin und Bonn, alles ist gepflegt, es gibt nicht den geringsten Grund zur Kritik. Unsere Täubchen haben keine Milben, sie fliegen vom Zentrum der deutschen Macht in alle Welt und verbreiten mit ihren Flügelschlägen nur den sanften Wind von Unseredemokratie. Diese Friedenstäubchen haben außerdem noch nie jemandem auf den Kopf gekackt.

Der Architekt des Vereinssaals könnte einmal Richter gewesen sein, denn architektonisch gleicht der Aufbau der Verkündigungsstätte einem Gericht. Oben, an einem langen Pult, sitzen majestätisch die Vereinssprecher, manche sogar in schicken Uniformen, und schauen auf die tiefer sitzenden Fragenden herab, während sie geruhen, Antworten zu geben. Mit oft versteinerter Miene eröffnen sie dem interessierten Zuhörer Verlautbarungen, die man fälschlicherweise auch als Absonderung von Textbausteinen empfinden könnte, wenn man nicht ein geschultes Ohr für Pressesprech hätte. Besonders gut gelingt auch oft der starre Blick beim antworten auf denjenigen, der vielleicht die falsche Frage gestellt hat. Da wird einem ganz anders und auch sehr deutlich, wer hier Herr über die Wahrheit ist.

Manchmal kommt es dann aber doch vor, dass die Augen blinzeln, oder ein Zucken an den Mundwinkeln zu sehen ist, was aber nur auf die Nachwehen des letzten Bundespresseballs zurückzuführen ist.

Die Phantasie in den Begründungen der politischen Entscheidungen scheint grenzenlos zu sein. Wer einmal genau studieren möchte, wie man es anstellt, dass Fragen und Antworten ganz bestimmt nicht zusammenpassen, dem sei das regelmäßige Verfolgen dieser Show sehr zu empfehlen.

Hier nur eine kleine Kostprobe:

24.04.2025: Regierungssprecher Hebestreit nennt internationale Berichte über gefährdete Meinungsfreiheit in Deutschland „abstrus“

https://youtu.be/8in7xKhgY5k

oder ganz:

https://www.nachdenkseiten.de/?p=132051

Recht hat er, der über alle Maße bewunderte, sehr gut ausgebildete und redegewandte Herr Hebestreit. Schließlich hat das Wahrheitsministerium sorgfältig recherchiert und die internationalen Berichte sind eindeutig auf eine Wahrnehmungsstörung der ausländischen Berichterstatter zurückzuführen. Bei uns ist nämlich alles in Ordnung, in bester Ordnung! Das war immer so, das bleibt auch so, und daran wird sich auch in Zukunft nichts ändern.

Im unwahrscheinlichen Falle der Verlosung einer Mitgliedschaft auf einem der nächsten Bundespressebälle sollte der Gewinner des Hauptpreises dem Beispiel von dem sehr geschätzten Herrn Reich-Ranicki folgen.

Alternative zur Vereins-Schau, wenn schon die Realität eh keine Rolle spielt: „Jim Knopf und Lukas der Lokomotiv-Führer“. Oder besser nicht? Ist ja nicht woke, obwohl da ein junger, reizender Afrikaner mit einer aparten Asiatin anbandelt.

Und die Bahn spielt auch mit. Die kann eine wichtige Rolle bei der Kriegstüchtigkeit spielen.

Let's see if @Car can find the episode link this week! (Nobody tell him)

We're mid-NFL draft right now, but it will be in the books by the time we record. So far, we're happy with our teams' picks. How long will that last?

The other big thing on our radar is the ongoing playoffs in the NBA and NHL. We both have lots of thoughts on the NBA, but I'll need someone to walk me through what's happening in the NHL. I can tell it must be wild, from how the odds are swinging around.

In MLB news, I'm locked in a fierce battle with @NEEDcreations for the top spot in our fantasy league, while @grayruby and @supercyclone are in a domestic civil war. Will we have time to actually talk baseball or will we recycle the same tease from last week?

Of course, we'll sprinkle in territory talk and contest updates as we go, plus whatever else stackers want to hear about.

At the recent Launch Music Festival and Conference in Lancaster, PA, featuring over 120 musicians across three days, I volunteered my time with Tunestr and Phantom Power Music's initiative to introduce artists to Bitcoin, Nostr, and the value-for-value model. Tunestr sponsored a stage, live-streaming 21 bands to platforms like Tunestr.io, Fountain.fm and other Nostr/Podcasting 2.0 apps and on-boarding as many others as possible at our conference booth. You may have seen me spamming about this over the last few days.

V4V Earnings

Day 1: 180,000 sats

Day 2: 300,000 sats

Day 3: Over 500,000 sats

Who?

Here are the artists that were on-boarded to Fountain and were live streaming on the Value-for-Value stage:

Many more musicians were on-boarded to Fountain, however, we were unable to obtain all of their npubs.

THANK YOU TO ALL ZAPPERS AND BOOSTERS!

Musicians “Get It”

My key takeaway was the musicians' absolute understanding that the current digital landscape along with legacy social media is failing them. Every artist I spoke with recognized how algorithms hinder fan connection and how gatekeepers prevent fair compensation for their work. They all use Spotify, but they only do so out of necessity. They felt the music industry is primed for both a social and monetary revolution. Some of them were even speaking my language…

Because of this, concepts like decentralization, censorship resistance, owning your content, and controlling your social graph weren't just understood by them, they were instantly embraced. The excitement was real; they immediately saw the potential and agreed with me. Bitcoin and Nostr felt genuinely punk rock and that helped a lot of them identify with what we were offering them.

The Tools and the Issues

While the Nostr ecosystem offers a wide variety of tools, we focused on introducing three key applications at this event to keep things clear for newcomers:

1. Fountain, with a music focus, was the primary tool for onboarding attendees onto Nostr. Fountain was also chosen thanks to Fountain’s built-in Lightning wallet.
2. Primal, as a social alternative, was demonstrated to show how users can take their Nostr identity and content seamlessly between different applications.
3. Tunestr.io, lastly was showcased for its live video streaming capabilities.

Although we highlighted these three, we did inform attendees about the broader range of available apps and pointed them to nostrapps.com if they wanted to explore further, aiming to educate without overwhelming them.

This review highlights several UX issues with the Fountain app, particularly concerning profile updates, wallet functionality, and user discovery. While Fountain does work well, these minor hiccups make it extremely hard for on-boarding and education.

• Profile Issues:
• When a user edits their profile (e.g., Username/Nostr address, Lightning address) either during or after creation, the changes don't appear to consistently update across the app or sync correctly with Nostr relays.
• Specifically, the main profile display continues to show the old default Username/Nostr address and Lightning address inside Fountain and on other Nostr clients.
• However, the updated Username/Nostr address does appear on https://fountain.fm (chosen-username@fountain.fm) and is visible within the "Edit Profile" screen itself in the app.
• This inconsistency is confusing for users, as they see their updated information in some places but not on their main public-facing profile within the app. I confirmed this by observing a new user sign up and edit their username – the edit screen showed the new name, but the profile display in Fountain did not update and we did not see it inside Primal, Damus, Amethyst, etc.
• Wallet Limitations:
• The app's built-in wallet cannot scan Lightning address QR codes to initiate payments.
• This caused problems during the event where users imported Bitcoin from Azte.co vouchers into their Fountain wallets. When they tried to Zap a band by scanning a QR code on the live tally board, Fountain displayed an error message stating the invoice or QR code was invalid.
• While suggesting musicians install Primal as a second Nostr app was a potential fix for the QR code issue, (and I mentioned it to some), the burden of onboarding users onto two separate applications, potentially managing two different wallets, and explaining which one works for specific tasks creates a confusing and frustrating user experience.
• Search Difficulties:
• Finding other users within the Fountain app is challenging. I was unable to find profiles from brand new users by entering their chosen Fountain username.
• To find a new user, I had to resort to visiting their profile on the web (fountain.fm/username) to retrieve their npub. Then, open Primal and follow them. Finally, when searching for their username, since I was now following them, I was able to find their profile.
• This search issue is compounded by the profile syncing problem mentioned earlier, as even if found via other clients, their displayed information is outdated.
• Searching for the event to Boost/Zap inside Fountain was harder than it should have been the first two days as the live stream did not appear at the top of the screen inside the tap. This was resolved on the third day of the event.

Improving the Onboarding Experience

To better support user growth, educators and on-boarders need more feature complete and user-friendly applications. I love our developers and I will always sing their praises from the highest mountain tops, however I also recognize that the current tools present challenges that hinder a smooth onboarding experience.

One potential approach explored was guiding users to use Primal (including its built-in wallet) in conjunction with Wavlake via Nostr Wallet Connect (NWC). While this could facilitate certain functions like music streaming, zaps, and QR code scanning (which require both Primal and Wavlake apps), Wavlake itself has usability issues. These include inconsistent or separate profiles between web and mobile apps, persistent "Login" buttons even when logged in on the mobile app with a Nostr identity, and the minor inconvenience of needing two separate applications. Although NWC setup is relatively easy and helps streamline the process, the need to switch between apps adds complexity, especially when time is limited and we’re aiming to showcase the benefits of this new system.

Ultimately, we need applications that are more feature-complete and intuitive for mainstream users to improve the onboarding experience significantly.

Looking forward to the future

I anticipate that most of these issues will be resolved when these applications address them in the near future. Specifically, this would involve Fountain fixing its profile issues and integrating Nostr Wallet Connect (NWC) to allow users to utilize their Primal wallet, or by enabling the scanning of QR codes that pay out to Lightning addresses. Alternatively, if Wavlake resolves the consistency problems mentioned earlier, this would also significantly improve the situation giving us two viable solutions for musicians.

My ideal onboarding event experience would involve having all the previously mentioned issues resolved. Additionally, I would love to see every attendee receive a $5 or $10 voucher to help them start engaging with value-for-value, rather than just the limited number we distributed recently. The goal is to have everyone actively zapping and sending Bitcoin throughout the event. Maybe we can find a large sponsor to facilitate this in the future?

What's particularly exciting is the Launch conference's strong interest in integrating value-for-value across their entire program for all musicians and speakers at their next event in Dallas, Texas, coming later this fall. This presents a significant opportunity to onboard over 100+ musicians to Bitcoin and Nostr, which in turn will help onboard their fans and supporters.

We need significantly more zaps and more zappers! It's unreasonable to expect the same dedicated individuals to continuously support new users; they are being bled dry. A shift is needed towards more people using bitcoin for everyday transactions, treating it as money. This brings me back to my ideal onboarding experience: securing a sponsor to essentially give participants bitcoin funds specifically for zapping and tipping artists. This method serves as a practical lesson in using bitcoin as money and showcases the value-for-value principle from the outset.

@ 8d34bd24:414be32b

I started working on this post a couple weeks ago, and out of pure accident, it became my Resurrection Sunday (Easter) post. Maybe it was by God’s design. On Resurrection Sunday, Jesus was raised from the grave. Forty days later he rose to heaven before many witnesses. Someday in the future, the dead in Christ will be raised from the dead, and all believers will be snatched up to heaven. Maybe this is this right post for Resurrection Sunday.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. … For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. (1 Thessalonians 4:14, 16-17) {emphasis mine}

---

It always amazes me that some Christians don’t believe in the rapture of the church. I understand how there can be a disagreement about exactly when the rapture is to occur, but I can’t comprehend how some Christians don’t believe the rapture is coming or that they believe that the rapture happened in the first century.

Let’s start with the three key verses on the subject and then we’ll get into more details.

Key Rapture Verses

I didn’t notice that this first passage referred to the rapture until it was pointed out to me. I was so focused on Jesus preparing a place, that I missed the key sentence.

“Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also. (John 14:1-3) {emphasis mine}

Jesus, after His resurrection and as promised in these verses, rose up to heaven to go prepare a place for believers. He will then return to bring believers to Himself. This whole idea would have been particularly clear for the Jews when it was written. When a bride and groom were engaged (a legal contract where they were considered married), the groom would go and prepare a place for them to live. It could be an extra room in his parent’s home or it could be a whole new home. The bride didn’t know when the groom would return to take her to himself to become man and wife. In the same way, Jesus has gone away to prepare a place for us and will return at a time we do not know. Just as the Jewish bride had to be ready to leave with her groom when he suddenly arrived, we also must be ready for Jesus’s return when He will snatch us from earth and take us home with Him to heaven.

But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18) {emphasis mine}

The Bible has a wonderful euphemism for the death of believers. It speaks of them falling asleep because death is not the end for believers. It is just a pause, a separation of body and spirit, before we are raptured to Jesus, to meet Him in the sky, where we will receive a new resurrection body, just as Jesus received when He was raised from the dead 3 days after His crucifixion. Both the dead in Christ and the alive in Christ will “be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.” God gives us this promise in the Bible to comfort us. It gives us comfort that death is not the end and we will see our fellow believers again in heaven one day. It also gives us comfort that we will not have to experience God’s wrath. “For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Thessalonians 5:9)

What else can we learn about the rapture?

Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, “Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 15:50-57) {emphasis mine}

The rapture will be an instantaneous change from our perishable bodies to imperishable, whether we are alive in Christ or dead in Christ. At the rapture we “will be raised imperishable.” I am very excited to be snatched up into the air, receive a new, eternal body, and meet Jesus face-to-face.

There is one more passage that I believe talks of the rapture that is a bit more subtle from Isaiah.

The righteous man perishes, and no man takes it to heart;\ And devout men are taken away, while no one understands.\ For the righteous man is taken away from evil,\ **He enters into peace;\ They rest in their beds,\ Each one who walked in his upright way. (Isaiah 57:1-2) {emphasis mine}

The seven year Tribulation is the wrath of God poured out on those who rejected Him and the merciful, last chance warning before eternal judgement. Those who have trusted in Jesus (the devout men, the righteous man) will be “taken away from evil” and will “enter into peace.” Instead of experiencing God’s wrath, they will experience His peace. Instead of experience horror, they will “rest in their beds.”

The Seven Raptures Before the Rapture of the Church

How can we know that we will be raptured to heaven to be with Jesus forever? One way is because people have been raptured before (in different ways)

I am borrowing the organization of this section from Chapter 9 of “The End: Everything You’ll Want to Know about the Apocalypse” by Mark Hitchcock, which I happen to be reading at the moment.

1. Rapture of Enoch\ ”So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.” (Genesis 5:23-24) \ Enoch was raptured to heaven to be with God. He did not die, but went straight to God.

2. Rapture of Elijah\ ”And it came about when the Lord was about to take up Elijah by a whirlwind to heaven, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal. … As they were going along and talking, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire and horses of fire which separated the two of them. And Elijah went up by a whirlwind to heaven.” (2 Kings 2:1,11) \ Elijah also was raptured to heaven without having to die. This passage gives more details. He went up in a whirlwind to heaven.

3. Rapture of Isaiah\ ”In the year of King Uzziah’s death I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, lofty and exalted, with the train of His robe filling the temple. Seraphim stood above Him, each having six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one called out to another and said,

“Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord of hosts,

The whole earth is full of His glory.”” (Isaiah 6:1-3)\ Isaiah’s situation was different. He was raptured to heaven only temporarily to be given God’s word and His prophecy and to call Isaiah for His good plan.

1. Rapture of Jesus\ ”And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught up to God and to His throne.” (Revelation 12:5)\ and\ ”And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was going, behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them. They also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.” (Acts 1:9-11)\ I’ve listed two verses about Jesus’s rapture. The one from Revelation uses the Greek word harpazo, caught up - when translated to Latin, the word is rapturo, which is where we get our English word rapture. The verses in Acts give a more detailed description of His rapture to heaven, which is an example of our rapture. We are also promised His return.

2. Rapture of Philip\ ”And he ordered the chariot to stop; and they both went down into the water, Philip as well as the eunuch, and he baptized him. When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away; and the eunuch no longer saw him, but went on his way rejoicing. But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through he kept preaching the gospel to all the cities until he came to Caesarea.” (Acts 8:38-40)

The rapture of Philip is different than the rest, because Philip was snatched away, not to heaven, but to Azotus. This is still an instance worth pointing out because it also uses the Greek word Harpazo.

1. Rapture of Paul\ ”I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a man was caught up to the third heaven. And I know how such a man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, God knows— was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which a man is not permitted to speak.” (2 Corinthians 12:2-4)\ Like Isaiah, Paul was temporarily caught up (Harpazo) to heaven to receive revelation from God and then returned to his work and life on earth

These examples show God snatching people from one location to another, physically or spiritually for His good purpose. I expect it to happen again, shortly before the beginning of the seven year tribulation.

The 3 Views of the Rapture

There are three main views of the rapture: pre-trib, mid-trib, and post-trib. The basic beliefs are pretty much self explanatory by their name. Does the rapture occur before the tribulation, around the mid-point of the tribulation (which is right before the Great Tribulation or final 3.5 years), or after the tribulation? Which one fits what the Bible says better?

Although the Bible doesn’t directly say when the rapture happens, there are some very strong hints.

No wrath For saints

“For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Thessalonians 5:9)

God promises believers that we are not destined for wrath. The tribulation is also known as1 “The wrath” (1 Thessalonians 5:9 & Revelation 11:18), “The wrath to come” (1 Thessalonians 1:10), “The great day of their wrath” (Revelation 6:17), “The wrath of God” (Revelation15:1,7, 14:10,19, 16:1), “The wrath of the lamb” (Revelation 6:16). There are numerous other equally unpleasant names, but I am sticking with those that use the word wrath. God promised believers that we are not destined for wrath. God never breaks His promises.

Similarly Revelation 3 promises believers will be kept from the hour of testing.

Because you have kept the word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. I am coming quickly; hold fast what you have, so that no one will take your crown. (Revelation 3:10-11) {emphasis mine}

The word quickly can also be translated suddenly. Although Jesus has not returned quickly by our way of figuring time, He will come suddenly.

No one knows when

“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.” (Matthew 24:36)

Scripture says the Tribulation starts when the Antichrist signs a peace treaty with Israel. If the rapture happens before the tribulation, then we won’t know when it will happen. If the rapture occurs at the mid-trib position, then it will happen 3.5 years after the peace treaty. If the rapture occurs post-trip, then it will happen 7 years after the peace treaty is signed and 3.5 years after the abomination of desolation, when the Antichrist declares himself god in the Jewish temple and requires the whole world to worship him. Only one makes sense if we can’t know when it happens.

Just as in the days of …

“For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be. Then there will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one will be left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one will be left.” (Matthew 24:37-41)

If we look at the words of Jesus, He compares the rapture to the days of Noah. Life happening as normal, then God put Noah and his family on the ark and personally shut the door (Genesis 7:16). Then the flood came, pouring God’s wrath out on those who had rejected Him. In the same way, God will take believers out of the world before pouring out His wrath on those who remain. He clearly states, “one will be taken and one will be left.”

A parallel passage in Luke, not only talks of God removing Noah before the flood, but also tells of God removing Lot before destroying Sodom & Gomorrah.

For just like the lightning, when it flashes out of one part of the sky, shines to the other part of the sky, so will the Son of Man be in His day. But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. It was the same as happened in the days of Lot: they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building; but on the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. It will be just the same on the day that the Son of Man is revealed. (Luke:17:24-30) {emphasis mine}

Just as Noah was removed before judgement, so also was Lot removed before judgement. In both cases the majority of people were going about business, living normal lives, not expecting anything to change.

In Genesis 19, the angels must remove Lot and his family before the city is destroyed.

Then the two men said to Lot, “Whom else have you here? A son-in-law, and your sons, and your daughters, and whomever you have in the city, bring them out of the place; for we are about to destroy this place, because their outcry has become so great before the Lord that the Lord has sent us to destroy it.” \ …\ When morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Up, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away in the punishment of the city.” But he hesitated. So the men seized his hand and the hand of his wife and the hands of his two daughters, for the compassion of the Lord was upon him; and they brought him out, and put him outside the city. (Genesis 19:12-13,15-16) {emphasis mine}

In the last days, God has promised to remove us before His judgment is poured out on those who willfully rejected Him. Jesus spoke these words to comfort us and so we would not fear the end.

Removal of the Restrainer

Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God. Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things? And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming; (2 Thessalonians 2:1-8) {emphasis mine}

The restrainer is the Holy Spirit and the lawless one is the antichrist. This passage is saying that the antichrist will not be revealed until the restrainer is removed. The Holy Spirit indwells every believer. The believers also have to be removed before the antichrist is revealed, otherwise the Holy Spirit would have to leave the believers, leaving them alone during God’s wrath. That, of course, is contrary to God’s character, history, and promise.

Why is There No Mention of the Church During the Tribulation?

In the first three chapters of Revelation, the word church is used again and again. The church is not mentioned again until Revelation 19, regarding the Bride of Christ.

Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself ready.” It was given to her to clothe herself in fine linen, bright and clean; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. (Revelation 19:7-8) {emphasis mine}

All of this makes sense if the church was raptured before the tribulation. Therefore the bride (the church) has had seven years to make herself ready. They then get to descend with Jesus in the second coming of Jesus.

And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself. He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, “KING OF KINGS, AND Lord OF LORDS.” (Revelation 19:11-16) {emphasis mine}

The Bride of Christ follows the King of Kings and Lord of Lords back to earth after being made “white and clean.”

Some may accuse pre-trib believers of being escapists. I’ll admit, I am happy to avoid the wrath of God, whether that be the tribulation or eternal damnation or just His daily disappointment in my failings. The fact that I am glad to “escape” the wrath, doesn’t make it untrue. I hope the passages and explanations I shared will give you comfort as the Day of the Lord and the Wrath of God approaches and as we see the world seemingly spiraling out of control. God is in control. Everything is happening according to His plan and for our good.

May the Lord of heaven comfort you with His promises and make you know His love. May you trust Him in good times and bad until the last days. May God give you a desire for His word and an understanding of His prophecies, so you will know the day is fast approaching.

Trust Jesus.

FYI, You can find most of my articles at end times. Some are directly relating to end times while others are loosely related. This post is a logical explanation of the rapture. You can also check out my older article on the rapture, “Up, Up, and Away.” The focus in my previous post was a little different including focusing on how the rapture will effect us, how we should respond to its immanency, and how it relates to the 2nd coming of Christ after the tribulation, so it is worth checking out as well.

We have been working on a significant update to the DVMCP specification to incorporate the latest Model Context Protocol (MCP) version 2025-03-26, and it's capabilities. This draft revision represents our vision for how MCP services can be discovered, accessed, and utilized across the Nostr network while maintaining compatibility between both protocols.

Expanding Beyond Tools

The first version of the DVMCP specification focused primarily on tools, functions that could be executed remotely via MCP servers. While this provided valuable functionality, the Model Context Protocol offers more capabilities than just tools. In our proposed update, DVMCP would embrace the complete MCP capabilities framework. Rather than focusing solely on tools, the specification will incorporate resources (files and data sources that can be accessed by clients) and prompts (pre-defined templates for consistent interactions). This expansion transforms DVMCP into a complete framework for service interoperability between protocols.

Moving Toward a More Modular Architecture

One of the most significant architectural changes in this draft is our move toward a more modular event structure. Previously, we embedded tools directly within server announcements using NIP-89, creating a monolithic approach that was challenging to extend.

The updated specification introduces dedicated event kinds for server announcements (31316) and separate event kinds for each capability category. Tools, resources, and prompts would each have their own event kinds (31317, 31318, and 31319 respectively). This separation improves both readability and interoperability between protocols, allowing us to support pagination for example, as described in the MCP protocol. It also enables better filtering options for clients discovering specific capabilities, allows for more efficient updates when only certain capabilities change, and enhances robustness as new capability types can be added with minimal disruption.

Technical Direction

The draft specification outlines several technical improvements worth highlighting. We've worked to ensure consistent message structures across all capability types and created a clear separation of concerns between Nostr metadata (in tags) and MCP payloads (in content). The specification includes support for both public server discovery and direct private server connections, comprehensive error handling aligned with both protocols, and detailed protocol flows for all major operations.

Enhancing Notifications

Another important improvement in our design is the redesign of the job feedback and notification system. We propose to make event kind 21316 (ephemeral). This approach provides a more efficient way to deliver status updates, progress information, and interactive elements during capability execution without burdening relays with unnecessary storage requirements.

This change would enable more dynamic interactions between clients and servers, particularly for long-running operations.

Seeking Community Feedback

We're now at a stage where community input would be highly appreciated. If you're interested in DVMCP, we'd greatly appreciate your thoughts on our approach. The complete draft specification is available for review, and we welcome your feedback through comments on our pull request at dvmcp/pull/18. Your insights and suggestions will help us refine the specification to better serve the needs of the community.

Looking Ahead

After gathering and incorporating community feedback, our next step will be updating the various DVMCP packages to implement these changes. This will include reference implementations for both servers (DVMCP-bridge) and clients (DVMCP-discovery).

We believe this proposed update represents a significant step forward for DVMCP. By embracing the full capabilities framework of MCP, we're expanding what's possible within the protocol while maintaining our commitment to open standards and interoperability.

Stay tuned for more updates as we progress through the feedback process and move toward implementation. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the evolution of DVMCP, and we look forward to your continued involvement.

Lily Phillips

Lily Phillips, a 23-year-old OnlyFans creator from Derbyshire, sparked global controversy after announcing her intention to have sex with 1,000 men in one day. While the event itself never occurred, she completed a "training" session with 101 men, which was documented by YouTuber Josh Pieters in a film titled I Slept with 100 Men in One Day. The documentary shows Phillips breaking down emotionally mid-way, which further fueled debates about the psychological toll of such performances.

Phillips maintained that the experience was voluntary and empowering. Still, she also admitted that her content might contribute to unrealistic expectations of women, saying, "It’s my fantasy, but I’m not helping the situation."

The backlash was swift and intense. She was permanently banned from Airbnb for violating their policies during the event, and she faced accusations of idea theft from fellow adult creator Bonnie Blue (no rivalry). But beyond the drama and headlines, her actions touched on something deeper within society—triggering reactions that reveal much about our collective psyche.

Why the Outrage?

The reaction to Phillips was not just about one extreme act. It tapped into long-standing emotional, cultural, and gender-based tensions:

• For many women, it felt like exploitation. Even though Phillips claimed agency, the imagery of one woman being with over a hundred men appeared dehumanizing, echoing trauma around objectification and sexual coercion.

• For some feminists, the event divided opinion. Was it a radical expression of freedom or a reinforcement of male-centered pornographic fantasies?

• For many men, the outrage often stemmed from a sense of moral violation. A woman expressing sexuality so publicly and without shame challenges deep-seated beliefs about purity, modesty, and traditional gender roles.

• Across the board, the situation made people confront how casual sex is viewed in our culture. While society consumes sexualized content daily, overt expressions of it—especially by women who claim control over it—are still met with hostility.

Lily Phillips didn’t just spark a conversation about adult content; she exposed a fault line in how we view sex, autonomy, and public morality. Whether one sees her actions as empowering or disturbing, the public reaction speaks volumes about our own discomforts, hypocrisies, and evolving values.

In the end, Lily became a mirror—reflecting a culture still unsure of how to talk honestly about sex and power.

As is well known, mathematics is a form of logic — that is, it is characterized by the ability to generate redundancy through manifestations in space. Mathematics is unrestricted from the human perspective, since it is what restricts us; it is descriptive rather than explanatory, unlike physics, chemistry, biology, etc. You can imagine a world without physics, chemistry, or biology in terms of how these occur, but you cannot conceive of a world without mathematics, because you are before you do anything. In other words, it encompasses all possibilities.

You may be left without an explanation, but never without a description. Lies can be suggested with mathematics — you can write that “5+2=8,” but we know that’s wrong, because we are beings capable of manipulating it. Explanations are not necessary; it stands on its own. It is somewhat irreverent in its form, and this elicits its truth.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

An interesting way to think about mathematics is that it consists of “points,” where the only variation is their position. It is possible to conceive of a drastically different world, no matter how it differs, but we can only treat them as such because they are the same — except for their location. That is, the creation of a plane becomes possible. This leads us to infer that mathematics is the decoupling of space-time, allowing one to play emperor. In this sense, something that is independent of time can be considered as an a priori truth.

As Wittgenstein put it:

Death is not an event in life: we do not live to experience death. If we take eternity not as an infinite temporal duration but as timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the present. We can summarize what has been said so far using the following logic:

We are limited by time. You, as a being, can only be in one place at a given moment. Mathematics is independent of time. Therefore, its elements (points) encompass all locations simultaneously. If its elements exist throughout all logical space at once, mathematics transcends time; and if things vary according to time, then mathematics is sovereign. Thus, the point is this: since nothing distinguishes one point from another except position, a point can become another as long as it has a location. That is, it only requires the use of operators to get there.

Operators = act

To clarify: there is no such thing as a distance of zero, because it does not promote redundancy. It’s as if the condition for something to qualify as a mathematical problem is that it must be subject to redundancy — in other words, it must be capable of being formulated.

An interesting analogy is to imagine yourself as an omnipresent being, but with decentralized “consciousness,” that is, corresponding to each location where your “self” is. Therefore, people anywhere in the world could see you. Given that, when you inhibit the possibility of others seeing you — in a static world, except for yours — nothing happens; this is represented by emptiness, because there is no relationship of change. It is the pure state, the nakedness of logic, its breath.

You, thinking of your girlfriend, with whom you’ve just had an argument, see a woman walking toward you. From a distance, she resembles her quite a lot. But as she gets closer, you suddenly see that it isn’t her, and your heart sinks. Subtext: You are alive.

Diving deeper, “0” stands to redundancy as frustration stands to “life”; both are the negation of a manifestation of potential — of life. Yet they are fundamental, because if everything is a manifestation of potential, what value does it have if there is nothing to oppose it?

Corollary: There are multiple locations — and this configuration is the condition for redundancy, since for something to occupy another position, it must have one to begin with, and zero represents this.

A descriptive system

The second part of this essay aims to relate mathematics to what allows it to be framed as a “marker” of history: uncertainty — and also its role as an interface through which history unfolds.

From a logical assumption, you cannot claim the nonexistence of the other, because to deny it is to deny yourself.

As Gandalf said:

Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. The issue is that we are obsessed with the truth about how the human experience should be — which is rather pathological, given that this experience cannot be echoed unless it is coupled with a logical framework coherent with life, with the factors that bathe it. That is, a logically coherent civilizational framework must be laced with both mathematics and uncertainty. We can characterize this as a descriptive plane, because it does not induce anything — it merely describes what happens.

Thus, an explanatory framework can be seen as one that induces action, since an explanation consists of linking one thing to another.

A descriptive framework demands a decentralized system of coordination, because for a story to be consistent, it must be inexpressible in its moments (temporal terms) and yet encompass them all. A valid analogy: History = blockchain.

To be part of history, certainty must outweigh uncertainty — and whoever offers that certainty must take on a corresponding uncertainty. Pack your things and leave; return when you have something to offer. That is the line of history being built, radiating life.

Legitimacy of Private Property

As previously woven, there is something that serves as a precondition for establishing conformity between the real plane and the mathematical one — the latter being subordinate to the logical, to life itself. The existence of the subject (will/consciousness) legitimizes property, for objects cannot, by principle, act systematically — that is, praxeological. It makes no sense to claim that something incapable of deliberate action possesses something that is not inherently comprehensible to it as property, since it is not a subject. An element of a set has as its property the existence within one or more sets — that is, its existence, as potential, only occurs through handling.

The legitimacy of private property itself is based on the fact that for someone to be the original proprietor of something, there must be spatiotemporal palpability between them, which is the mold of the world. Therefore, private property is a true axiom, enabling logical deductions that allow for human flourishing.

Erich Kästner  (1899-1974) ist den meisten bekannt als erfolgreicher Kinderbuchautor, “Emil und die Detektive”, “Das fliegende Klassenzimmer”, und andere mehr. Als Teilnehmer des ersten Weltkriegs und Zeitzeuge des zweiten, hat er auch zahlreiche aufrüttelnde Gedichte gegen den Krieg geschrieben. \ \ Stimmen aus dem Massengrab\ Verdun, viele Jahre später\ Große Zeiten\ \ „Das entscheidende Erlebnis war natürlich meine Beschäftigung als Kriegsteilnehmer. Wenn man 17-jährig eingezogen wird, und die halbe Klasse ist schon tot, weil bekanntlich immer zwei Jahrgänge ungefähr in einer Klasse sich überlappen, ist man noch weniger Militarist als je vorher. Und eine dieser Animositäten, eine dieser Gekränktheiten eines jungen Menschen, eine der wichtigsten, war die Wut aufs Militär, auf die Rüstung, auf die Schwerindustrie.“

Auf den Schlachtfeldern von Verdun\ wachsen Leichen als Vermächtnis.\ Täglich sagt der Chor der Toten:\ „Habt ein besseres Gedächtnis!"

Offensichtlich funktioniert das kollektive Gedächtnis nicht so gut, wenn solch plumpe Kriegshetzer in alberner Verkleidung sich plötzlich wieder großer Beliebtheit erfreuen.

"Die Ereignisse von 1933 bis 1945 hätten spätestens 1928 bekämpft werden müssen. Später war es zu spät. Man darf nicht warten, bis der Freiheitskampf Landesverrat genannt wird. Man darf nicht warten, bis aus dem Schneeball eine Lawine geworden ist. Man muss den rollenden Schneeball zertreten. Die Lawine hält keiner mehr auf."

So wird eine friedliebende Gesellschaft systematisch in eine militaristische transformiert. Was wird der Titel der nächsten Sondersendung sein: "wollt ihr den totalen Krieg"?

„Erst wenn die Mutigen klug und die Klugen mutig geworden sind, wird das zu spüren sein, was irrtümlicherweise schon oft festgestellt wurde: ein Fortschritt der Menschheit.“ 

Höchste Zeit den Mut zu entwickeln sich dem Massenwahn zu widersetzen um das Unheil zu verhindern. Zwei Weltkriege haben Deutschland schwer geschadet, ein Dritter würde es auslöschen. Erinnern wir uns an Karthago, bevor es zu spät ist!

Kennst Du das Land, wo die Kanonen blühn?\ Du kennst es nicht? Du wirst es kennenlernen!\ Dort stehn die Prokuristen stolz und kühn\ in den Büros, als wären es Kasernen.

Dort wachsen unterm Schlips Gefreitenknöpfe. \ Und unsichtbare Helme trägt man dort.\ Gesichter hat man dort, doch keine Köpfe.\ Und wer zu Bett geht, pflanzt sich auch schon fort!

Wenn dort ein Vorgesetzter etwas will \ - und es ist sein Beruf etwas zu wollen -\ steht der Verstand erst stramm und zweitens still.\ Die Augen rechts! Und mit dem Rückgrat rollen!

Die Kinder kommen dort mit kleinen Sporen \ und mit gezognem Scheitel auf die Welt.\ Dort wird man nicht als Zivilist geboren.\ Dort wird befördert, wer die Schnauze hält.

Kennst Du das Land? Es könnte glücklich sein. \ Es könnte glücklich sein und glücklich machen?\ Dort gibt es Äcker, Kohle, Stahl und Stein\ und Fleiß und Kraft und andre schöne Sachen.

Selbst Geist und Güte gibt's dort dann und wann! \ Und wahres Heldentum. Doch nicht bei vielen.\ Dort steckt ein Kind in jedem zweiten Mann.\ Das will mit Bleisoldaten spielen.

Dort reift die Freiheit nicht. Dort bleibt sie grün. \ Was man auch baut - es werden stets Kasernen.\ Kennst Du das Land, wo die Kanonen blühn?\ Du kennst es nicht? Du wirst es kennenlernen!

In the ever-evolving world of Bitcoin mining, a new player has emerged, promising to revolutionize the way miners operate. OCEAN Bitcoin Mining (https://ocean.xyz) introduces a hybrid model that combines the autonomy of solo mining with the reduced variance of pool mining. This article delves into how OCEAN achieves this balance, offering miners the best of both worlds while maintaining Bitcoin's decentralized ethos.

Understanding Solo and Pool Mining

To appreciate OCEAN's innovation, it's essential to understand the traditional mining models: *** Solo Mining: In solo mining, an individual miner uses their computational power to solve the cryptographic puzzle required to add a new block to the Bitcoin blockchain. If successful, the miner receives the entire block reward, which includes newly minted bitcoins and transaction fees. Solo miners have full control over which transactions are included in their blocks. However, with the current difficulty of Bitcoin mining, solo miners with limited hash power face high variance—long periods without rewards followed by rare, large payouts. * Pool Mining**: Pool mining addresses the variance issue by allowing miners to combine their computational resources. When the pool finds a block, the reward is distributed among participants based on their contributed hash power. This provides more consistent, smaller payouts. However, the pool operator typically decides which transactions are included in the block, potentially leading to centralized control and censorship concerns.

How OCEAN Combines the Two

OCEAN Bitcoin Mining introduces a novel approach that merges the benefits of solo and pool mining: * DATUM (Decentralized Alternative Templates for Universal Mining): OCEAN empowers miners with DATUM, a system that allows them to create their own block templates. This means miners can decide which transactions to include in the blocks they are working on, similar to solo mining. Unlike traditional pool mining, the pool does not dictate transaction selection. * Pool Benefits: While miners maintain control over transaction selection, they also contribute their hash power to a collective effort, akin to pool mining. This increases the likelihood of finding a block, thereby reducing the variance in rewards. When a block is found, the miner who discovers it receives the full reward directly, and the block reflects their chosen transactions. Key Advantage: This setup eliminates the high variance associated with solo mining while preserving miners' autonomy. Miners enjoy more frequent opportunities to earn rewards due to the pool's combined power, yet they retain the freedom to select transactions, a feature typically lost in traditional pool mining.

Censorship Resistance

One of the most significant benefits of OCEAN's model is its resistance to transaction censorship: * In traditional pool mining, if a pool operator is pressured—perhaps by regulatory forces affecting entities like Tether—to exclude certain transactions, all miners in the pool are impacted. * With OCEAN and DATUM, even if some miners or entities are compelled to censor transactions, other miners in the pool can still include any valid transactions they choose. When these miners find a block, their selected transactions are added to the blockchain, effectively bypassing centralized control or censorship attempts. * This mechanism upholds Bitcoin's decentralized nature, ensuring that no single authority can dictate which transactions are processed, provided miners opt to include them.

Conclusion

OCEAN Bitcoin Mining represents a significant step forward in the mining landscape. By blending the autonomy of solo mining with the reduced variance of pool mining, OCEAN offers miners a unique opportunity to maintain control over their operations while enjoying more consistent rewards. Furthermore, its resistance to censorship reinforces Bitcoin's core principles of decentralization and freedom. As the mining industry continues to evolve, OCEAN stands out as a beacon of innovation, providing miners with the tools they need to thrive in a competitive and ever-changing environment.

Untype Update

I cleaned up the AI assistant UX. Now you can open it in the editor bar, same as all other actions. This makes it a lot easier to interact with while having access to normal edit functions.

AI-generated content

Untype uses OpenRouter to connect to various models to generate just about anything. It doesn't do images for now, but I'm working on that.

Automatic Title, Summary and Tag Suggestions

Added the functionality to generate titles, summaries and tags with one click.

A Brief Preview

Here is a little story I generated in Untype, ABOUT Untype:

This story was generated in Untype

Once upon a time, in the bustling digital city of Techlandia, there lived a quirky AI named Untype. Unlike other software, Untype wasn't just your everyday article composer — it had a nose for news, quite literally. Untype was equipped with a masterful talent for sniffing out the latest trends and stories wafting through the vast digital ether.

Untype had a peculiar look about it. Sporting a gigantic nose and a pair of spectacles perched just above it, Untype roamed the virtual city, inhaling the freshest gossip and spiciest stories. Its nostr-powered sensors twitched and tickled as it encountered every new scent.

One day, while wandering around the pixelated park, Untype caught a whiff of something extraordinary — a scandalous scoop involving Techlandia's mayor, Doc Processor, who had been spotted recycling old memes as new content. The scent trail was strong, and Untype's nose twitched with excitement.

With a flick of its AI function, Untype began weaving the story into a masterpiece. Sentences flowed like fine wine, infused with humor sharper than a hacker’s focus. "Doc Processor," Untype mused to itself, "tried to buffer his way out of this one with a cache of recycled gifs!"

As Untype typed away, its digital friends, Grammarly the Grammar Gremlin and Canva the Artful Pixie, gathered around to watch the genius at work. "You truly have a knack for news-sniffing," complimented Grammarly, adjusting its tiny monocle. Canva nodded, painting whimsical illustrations to accompany the hilarious exposé.

Songwriting is a potent artistic expression that transcends borderlines and barriers. Many songwriters throughout history have perfected the art of crafting lyrics that resonate with audiences. In this article, Daniel Siegel Alonso delves into the nuanced realm of songwriting, exploring how songwriters like Lou Reed, Joni Mitchell, and Nina Simone have connected with listeners through their evocative and timeless lyrics.

**The street poet ** Siegel Alonso begins with the quintessential urban poet: Lou Reed. Reed transformed gritty, day-to-day experiences into lyrical masterpieces. As the front man of the proto-punk band The Velvet Underground, Reed's songwriting was known for its rawness and unflinching depiction of urban life. His lyrics often examined social alienation, the throes of addiction, and the pursuit of authenticity.

In songs like the now iconic "Heroin," Reed's explicit descriptions and stark narrative style draw listeners into the psyche of a person battling addiction. Lyrics such as "I have made the big decision / I'm gonna try to nullify my life" convey a haunting sense of sorrow and yearning for numbness. At the height of free love and flower power, Reed's ability to confront such complex subjects head-on allowed listeners to find solace in shared experiences, fostering a sense of connection through his candid storytelling.

Reed's influence extends beyond his provocative themes. His conversational singing style and use of spoken word elements in songs like "Walk on the Wild Side" subvert traditional songwriting norms, making his work not just music but a form of urban poetry. Reed's legacy lies in his ability to capture the essence of human experience.

**The painter of emotions ** Joni Mitchell's songwriting is often described as painting with words. Her intricate and poetic lyrics delve deep into personal and emotional landscapes, creating vivid imagery and profound reflections on life and love. Mitchell's work is a testament to the power of introspection and the beauty of vulnerability in songwriting.

On her 1971 studio album Blue, Mitchell bares all with songs that explore heartache, longing, and self-discovery. Songs like "A Case of You" contain poignant and visually evocative lyrics: "Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling / Still, I'd be on my feet." Siegel Alonso says Micthell's mastery of weaving personal tales with universal emotions creates a deeply intimate listening experience.

Joni Mitchell's innovative musical compositions complement her lyrical prowess. She often employs unusual guitar chord progressions and tunings, which add a distinctive color to her songs. This type of musical experimentation, combined with Joni's introspective verses, invites listeners into her world, offering comfort and understanding. Mitchell has formed a timeless bond with her audience through her artistry, demonstrating that the most intimate, private songs often resonate the most universally.

**The voice of the civil rights movement ** Nina Simone's songwriting is a powerful testament to music's role in social activism. Known for her unusual, soulful voice and fiery performances, Simone used her platform to address racial injustice, inequality, and civil rights issues. Her lyrics tend to be a call to action, urging her listeners to reflect on the unjust world and strive for change.

Simone's song "Mississippi Goddam" is a prime example of her fearless approach to songwriting. Written in response to the murder of Medgar Evers and the bombing of a church in Birmingham, Alabama, the song's cutting lyrics combined with its upbeat tempo create a startling contrast that underscores the urgency of her message. "Alabama's gotten me so upset / Tennessee made me lose my rest / And everybody knows about Mississippi Goddam." Through her craft, Simone shared the frustration and fury of the Civil Rights Movement, galvanizing her listeners to join in the fight for justice.

Another poignant example is her track "Four Women," which tells the stories of four African American women, each representing different aspects of the Black experience in America. Simone's lyrics powerfully explore identity, resilience, and oppression, with each character's narrative spotlighting broader social issues. Her talent to articulate the suffering and strength of her community through her lyrics has left an indelible mark on the music industry and the world.

The art of songwriting is more than just crafting words to fit a melody; it is about creating a connection between the artist and the listener. Lou Reed, Joni Mitchell, and Nina Simone each exemplify this in their unique ways. Reed's gritty realism, Mitchell's poetic introspection, and Simone's passionate activism all demonstrate the transformative power of lyrics.

Through their songs, these artists have touched countless lives, offering comfort, understanding, and inspiration. Their lyrics serve as a reminder that music is a universal language, capable of bridging divides and fostering empathy. The art of songwriting, as demonstrated by these legendary figures, is a profound way of connecting with the human experience, transcending time and place to reach the hearts of listeners everywhere.

In a world where words can often feel inadequate, Siegel Alonso offers that the right lyrics can express the breadth and depth of human emotion and experience. Whether through Lou Reed's uncomfortable honesty, Joni Mitchell's emotive landscapes, or Nina Simone's fervent activism, the art of songwriting continues to be a vital force in connecting humanity.

Core idea: Use geotagged anonymized Nostr events with Cashu-based points to snitch on cop locations for a more relaxed driving and walking

We all know navigation apps. There's one of them that allows you to report on locations of cops. It's Waze and it's owned by Google. There are perfectly fine navigation apps like Organic Maps, that unfortunately lack the cop-snitching features. In some countries, it is illegal to report cop locations, so it would probably not be a good idea to use your npub to report them. But getting a points Cashu token as a reward and exchanging them from time to time would solve this. You can of course report construction, traffic jams, ...

Proposed solution: Add Nostr client (Copstr) to Organic Maps. Have a button in bottom right allowing you to report traffic situations. Geotagged events are published on Nostr relays, users sending cashu tokens as thank you if the report is valid. Notes have smart expiration times.

Phase 2: Automation: Integration with dashcams and comma.ai allow for automated AI recognition of traffic events such as traffic jams and cops, with automatic touchless reporting.

Result: Drive with most essential information and with full privacy. Collect points to be cool and stay cool.

Money is more than just a medium of exchange—it’s the current that drives economies, the lifeblood of societies, and the pulse of civilization itself. When money decays, so does the culture it sustains. Take fiat, for example. Created out of thin air and inflated into oblivion, it acts like poison—rewarding conformity over sovereignty, speculation over creation, and exploitation over collaboration.

A culture built this way fails to foster true progress. Instead, it pushes us into darker corners where creativity and truth become increasingly scarce.

From the food we eat to the media we consume, much of modern culture has become a reflection of this problem—prioritizing shortcuts, convenience, and profit at any cost. It seems there’s no room left for depth, authenticity, or connection anymore.

Art, for example—once a sacred space for meaning, and inner calling—has not been spared either. Stripped of its purpose, it too falls into gloom, weaponized to divide and manipulate rather than inspire beauty and growth.

“Art is the lie that reveals the truth” as Picasso once said.

Indeed, this intriguing perspective highlights the subjectivity of truth and the many ways art can be interpreted. While creative expression doesn’t always need to mirror reality one-to-one—actually, often reshaping it through the creator’s lens—much of what we’re surrounded with these days feels like a dangerous illusion built on the rotten incentives of decaying values.

The movies we watch, the music we hear, and the stories we absorb from books, articles, ads, and commercials—are too often crafted to condition specific behaviors. Greed, laziness, overconsumption, ignorance (feel free to add to this list). Instead of enriching our culture, they disconnect us from each other, as well as from our own minds, hearts, and souls.

If you see yourself as a Bitcoiner—or, as I like to call it, ‘a freedom fighter at heart’—and you care about building a world based on truth, freedom, and prosperity, please recognize that culture is also our battleground.

Artistic forms act as transformative forces in the fight against the status quo.

As we enter Holy Week, we are confronted with a world steeped in sin, strife, conflict, and mortality. There exists a peculiar fascination among some with societal decline, as if they derive satisfaction from witnessing civilization’s unraveling. This attraction to darkness may reflect their inner turmoil, a desire to see others share in their suffering. Alternatively, it could stem from a profound hopelessness, a belief that life lacks purpose, leading them to wish for its end. The allure of dystopian futures is, indeed, a curious phenomenon.

Alexander Hamilton once yearned for war as a means to elevate his status, a reflection of youthful ambition for decisive action. Such a desire—to distinguish oneself and ascend the social hierarchy—underlies some of the grim visions of the future propagated by certain ideological circles. Their aim is not war itself but a reconfiguration of power, placing authority in the hands of those who affirm their values. For years, such individuals have held sway, yet their influence appears to be waning.

In the absence of hope, many embrace visions of decline. This despair is characteristic of a faltering empire, signaling the end of an era. The younger generation, burdened by weariness, falters under the weight of their circumstances. They lack hope for a brighter future and see no clear path out of life’s monotony. In a word, they are trapped, uncertain of how to proceed.

We witnessed a similar sentiment during the Arab Spring, where upheaval was celebrated as a longed-for revolution, a societal reset. The assassination of a prominent corporate executive, such as the CEO of United Health, evokes a comparable yearning for disruption. There is a desire for a cultural transformation, though its precise nature remains elusive.

Yet, the youth find themselves dominated by the very elites whose rhetoric they echo. Unlike the 1960s, when generational values clashed overtly, today’s power structures co-opt the language of the young, redirecting their frustration toward populist movements. This inversion is a cunning strategy, mitigating the potential for significant rebellion.

The reality remains that the older generation holds the wealth, power, and authority, while the young are consistently marginalized. They are the ones left with little hope, ensnared by the system. However, a quiet rebellion is emerging—one rooted in hope and faith. Many are beginning to see through the falsehoods propagated by those in power. The promises of governmental provision, once alluring, now appear untenable in light of fiscal realities. The youth seek a new source of hope, a renewed perspective. Thankfully, they are beginning to find it, turning toward faith as a foundation for a more optimistic future.

Ecology

When my father died, an entire ecosystem of beneficiaries withered. Moussa Ag El Khir funded scholarships and community projects, paying thousands of Dinars monthly to stop the oasis town of In Salah from burning up. The few families we knew operating outside the oil-field economy would be forced to flee to the Mediterranean coast, along with just about every other Berber.

It wasn’t unexpected. My father had cystic fibrosis for all sixty-one years of his life. So far, that’s the only legacy he’s passed on to his children. My brothers are just carriers, but me, his precious daughter ended up like him in more ways than one.

We sat there in the lawyer’s office in Algiers, my brothers and I, staring at the ledger which contained payment for his life’s work.

“And he only left one word in his will?” asked Ibrahim for the third time. Ecology.

The lawyer said Moussa was very clear. He chose each of the keys himself. The contents of the ledger would belong to whoever could decode his life — those who understood the real meaning. Then he cut all communications and walked into the Sahara. The Tuareg caravan on the road to Akabli found his body a week later, reddened by sand burn.

Earth

We made an agreement that day. To share each word we discovered. We could break the code together. Of course, Ibrahim and Hama didn’t share anything. We barely speak. That’s what happens when one child follows their father into science, and her two brothers move to France the minute they get rich enough to buy a wife. I bet they spent longer looking into legal loopholes to get their hands on my father’s assets than they did trying to identify the keys.

That day was the start of my second life, and I went from research assistant at a regional university to private-key detective. 2048 words and few clues where to start. Although I was 27, I was virtually a grandmother according to the In Salah wives. But of course, I could never be a grandmother, or even a mother. Every night, I scoured photos in the family archive. An initial sweep of his digital footprint returned no out-of-place instances of any keywords.

It took me a year to find the GPS tag he’d added to one photo — an eighteen-year-old daughter standing next to a father proud of his first infinite solar prototype. The panel has long-since been torn out by the oil corp, but the base is still there. I drove the three kilometres from the town limit and shone the high beams at the spot. When I got out, the air was cool but still thick with sand. A few more steps through sinking dunes, and I saw it. He’d scratched a little globe into the blistered metal, and for a moment, my mucus-laden lungs tasted clear air.

Trigger

The next word took three years. Friends, contacts, professors, biographers — visits to anyone with whom he might have left a clue. But it was in the In Salah hospital, where, upon a routine CF checkup with Jerome Devailier, a French doctor, ‘trigger’ appeared. The government might stack everything against the desert peoples, but they hadn’t taken away healthcare. I’d been living off the kindness of neighbours while finishing my thesis on the very solar technology my father developed. How could he have known the ‘buyer’ was just a tendril of the very oil company he sought to defeat.

Dr Devalier went through the list of carcinogens and allergens to avoid with my new drugs. Over forty triggers which could be my downfall. If I was lucky, I’d live as long as my father did.

By then, my research stipend was long gone. I existed on toughened bread and soup, which always carried the taste of the scorched city air. Yet, I stayed. The public library, disconnected from the grid by the oil corp, was where I finished my manuscript. They would fight its publication. Since father’s money no longer flowed into the town, many had deserted me. There were those who said he killed an entire people by selling his solar patent to the wrong buyers. Others in In Salah worshipped his name, but eventually, they all trudged north to the cities. My brothers sold the family home from under me, forcing me to follow.

When I returned from the hospital, I dug out my father’s medical documents. On every page, the word ‘trigger’ was underlined. That was the moment I knew my life’s work would be unlocking the ledger, not publishing studies on long-dead solar panel technology. That battle was lost.

They

All we need is a simple document, but here, it is the administrators’ job to send people away. Physical copies are only issued in extreme circumstances. Citizens’ Registry screens played endless repetitions of how to apply for digital documents. The shrill voices of family members desperate for the original copy of a pirated document drowned the TV messaging. Women removed headscarves and revealed thick black hair; teenagers paced. The atmosphere thickened with sweat. And hours passed. Each appointment required a reset of digital protocol, biometric tests, and identity cards from legal descendents. Through counterfeit identities, our Dinars leak into the hands of criminals, but still the government denies the need for bitcoin. They just print more money. They is the word my father used for the government that fought his patent so hard.

After a four-hour wait, I discovered that the physical death certificate included an ‘identifying mark’ on the deceased’s body. The ink was fresh — etched into the shoulder blade of a man who wished to turn his back on the government that ignored its people. The tattoo read aqqalan, the Tamasheq word for they.

Scheme

It took two trips to his cluttered Marseille office to convince him I was serious. Two visas, two flights, and the small amount from the sale of the family house. But few detectives wanted to work for a promise.

The ledger could not legally be owned in Algeria, and Laurent Mercier was the only serious professional who entertained a percentage of what was on there. The solar tech patent and documents from my father were enough to start Laurent on the trail. ‘Preliminary,’ he said, until I had the ledger in my possession.

“Flying is not easy with my condition,” I said.

He lowered his sunglasses. “Working is not easy without money.”

Contact with my brother through the lawyer in Algiers was achingly slow, but eventually they agreed to give me possession. What was 33% of nothing anyway? Years had gone by.

So, when I sat for the second time, in the sweaty office in Marseille, I gave Laurent the ledger, and he handed me a surprise. In all his business affairs, my father used little English, but the word ‘scheme’ appeared in all three company names he incorporated in the last three years of his life. We had our fifth word, and I finally had someone on my side.

Make

Some days, I could barely walk to the public library. I became lethargic and mostly sat in the cool dark of my room in the shelter. The government refused to provide housing outside of Algiers, but a Tuareg organisation from Mali opened a shelter in In Salah. Bulging eyes and faded clothes stared back in the mirror each day. How long had it been since I’d been to a wedding, or celebrated a friend’s child? Occupants came and went, and all that was left was a barren room and one meal per day.

As the sun punished the city with every ray of Allah’s untapped gift, streets grew thick with dust, and the local government fell, seat by seat, to oil execs. The only transport running was to and from the oil fields, which belched the remnants of the land into the sky. And still they worked. Still they sat on my father’s patent and refused to supply the world with efficient solar power.

With little else to cling onto, I harboured thoughts of how I could spend the ledger money. Fixing the town and replanting lost gardens. Bringing people back. That all took a back seat to decoding the message my father was sending. Laurent and I began to believe that the keys he chose formed some sort of instruction for his legacy.

Ten years to the day after his death, I was in the public library, looking for clues in an English history book. On my exit, the librarian stopped me.

“We have a gift for you, Kana.”

I waited while he fetched a package.

“Your father instructed me to give this to you. But not before this date.”

My hands tore open the package. More books, technical manuals, and hand-written notes. Amongst the papers was a tasselled leather bookmark embossed with the four letters that comprised one of the seven missing words. Make.

Citizen

It’s hard for a father in Algeria to admit to his daughter that she is his spirit — the heir to his life’s work. Of course he felt terrible guilt after our mother’s passing. That was when the letters started.

Moussa wrote to himself really, trying to come to terms with bringing a protégé into the world with a bright scientific mind and lungs that would snap her life expectancy. We communicated by letter for the last few years of his life — sharing the breakthroughs of his findings and what it might mean for our decaying oasis town. Analogue writing was the only real privacy, he said. His letters always ran to the same length, as if they were one lesson divided into equal chunks. We even exchanged letters during his last hospitalisation in Algiers. Those words were the only real strength I gained.

It was Laurent who analysed the letters with a new text scanning tool. For me, my father’s last letters were advice, regret, pain, and love, but to Laurent, they were simply a puzzle to solve to get one step closer.

Our letters gave Laurent the idea to communicate via physical mail. The process was painful, with letters sent from outlying towns before being shipped across the Alboran Sea and up into France. Muatin was one name my father called me. Like him, I dreamed of helping many through science. This was one of the few Arabic words in the French letters he wrote. It was also the only keyword included in any of the letters. Citizen.

When

Years of quiet followed. In Salah became unlivable after they co-opted the city reservoir for cooling drilling rigs. Each study that proved the field was still viable funnelled funds away from the locals who clung on. Resettlement benefits went up, and all but the semi-nomadic Tuaregs left. I followed. My health could not take much more desert. In the cooler coastal plains, I recovered strength, and subsidies for new medications helped me survive on a meagre teaching salary.

With no further clues, my Marseillais detective lost interest. His last letter, sent years ago, stated with unusual brevity that he was resigning the case. No payment was due.

I had lost my health, my father, his work, my money, our house, the town, and I spent each week delivering science and English classes to teenagers. They had no more hope for our country than I had. Algerians had already lost the Sahara. A one-degree temperature shift each decade of my life had shrunk Africa and sent its peoples northwards.

My father’s word puzzle occupied my thoughts. The combinations and permutations of letters and characters had millions of possible meanings but only one correct answer. Yet simple linguistic logic provided the next word. The headteacher was a linguist — a profession long lost to the higher-powered text analysers and language AI. He spoke little English but asked about the categorisations of grammatical terms in the 2048 key words.

“Why do you ask?”

“Because,” he said, “for a sentence of twelve words, at least one conjunction is necessary to form a second clause.”

He was right. I had been focussing on lists and complex codes to build my father’s motto. When I got home, I furiously searched my list of terms for conjunctions. I found only one. ‘When.’

Can

The permutations were still huge. Even eliminating some of the more conceptual words did not help. Millions of sentences existed in my dead father’s mind. Millions of meanings, all lost to the need for more energy to fund the world’s great thirst for energy. Still, the panels in most of the ‘dead middle’ (as the space between the tropics became known) melted at over 50 degrees.

I was back in Paris for CF treatment. As a young woman, I would have been pleased to make fifty years. But the realities of daily visits and the sickness brought on by medication stung. I wanted things to end, even when I discovered the next key.

It had been years since I had dreamed of the freedoms my father’s fortune could bring. Parts of Asia held out against bitcoin, but the cost of countries doing business off-network had become prohibitive. Eventually, the fossil conglomerates would give in to the need for solar mining and the provision of universal energy.

It was in a Parisian hospital bed that I discovered ‘can.’ My wardmate, a rough labourer from Oran, found a biography in the hospital library that made me sit up straight. ‘Can’ was repeated in almost every description of my father in his one-time business partner’s book. And it was this Arabian ‘businessman,’ Abdulkarim Rahman, who brokered the deal that robbed the world of infinite solar power. Each page mocked my father as believing only physical impossibilities are impossible. He branded him the ‘can man.’

Drastic

During my recuperation, I spent the final two weeks of my visa stay in Marseille. My days passed with endless algorithm tweaks to reject or accept word orders for the elusive twelve-word sentence my father once wrote.

Food lost its taste, and friends and colleagues in academia had scattered. In-person meetings were often contained to the night hours, but Marseille was not a place to go out after dark. The latest protests had gotten violent, and the government looked likely to topple. My people had always been resilient, but when the option to move and operate a caravan was removed by General Hafiz, part of my spirit died. I resolved to spend my final years in In Salah, however uncomfortable they would be.

My final port of call before returning was Laurent’s office. The eTaxi cast me out into the dusty street, and I wheezed as I climbed the three flights of stairs to his tiny door on Rue Marché. We hadn’t spoken in years, but I was surprised to find a different name about the door. Pascale Dupont, Investigateur.

The assistant I remembered was quite the opposite to Laurent — slow and methodical, short and heavy set.

“Madame,” he said. “I have difficult news.”

Their business had always straddled the law, but I never imagined an ex-officer of the law could be convicted of treason.

“A closed-door trial,” said Pascale. Then he handed over an air-gapped 3D storage file. “Laurent knew you would come for this.”

My mind cast forward to the reams of information he must have built on my father. The patents and technical diagrams he illegally acquired and other clues. I instantly recognised the brand of storage file as a keyword. Drastic.

“How can I thank him?”

“He is dead, madame.” Pascale hung his head. “He survived prison for only two weeks.”

Must

My final years brought me home. In Salah had gained fame for its one group of Tuaregs who refused to leave. The Lakzis owned a house in a desperate condition, not dissimilar to my failing body. By the age of fifty-two, I could no longer walk, but they welcomed me. I pooled my disability allowance and some money I’d gained from selling my father’s watch. We waited for the world to mourn the death of a once great city. We would keep it alive by refusing to move, by refusing to permit its rebranding as an ‘industrial area.’ Now the oil fields were finally drying up, they wanted to dig under the town.

We had managed to eliminate half of the remaining words. Just under 1,000 possible selections for the final two words, but little idea of an order.

The problem was that I was the only English speaker among them, and it took great energy to attempt to teach the meaning of the words and possible grammatical constructions for my father’s sentence.

But soon, patterns began to emerge. Fragments of word pairings and groups. ‘Trigger drastic scheme’ appeared again and again in the permutations. ‘They can’ and ‘When they can’ gave a tantalising glimpse. We ranked sentences in terms of likelihood to form the full key and categorised them by the most likely remaining words. Due to the need for a modal verb, ‘must’ scored highest by our calculations.

In this race to unlock the ledger before In Salah’s destruction, we nosed ahead.

Yet the day of that discovery was my final day in the desert. An air ambulance transported my feeble body to Algiers, and I would never return.

They messaged me — so close. They would unlock the ledger with the final word after my operation. The bitcoin could undo the wrongs of the past, and my father’s sentence would live on.

End

The phrase which began the global revolution first appeared on the wall of a much-disputed oil refinery in the desert outside In Salah, Algeria.

When they can make ecology end, citizen earth must trigger drastic scheme

Soon, the graffiti marked government buildings in Algiers. Activists took to the streets. Governments crumbled and currencies collapsed. Climate groups received massive donations said to come from ‘the one,’ a ledger with a huge stack written off by financiers the world over. The codebreaker credited with unlocking the ledger was unable to witness the transfer of 10,000 coins to the Global Climate Fund due to her death, aged 52, from a congenital condition.

The words of Moussa Ag El Khir now mark each of the millions of panels, which line the ‘dead middle.’ They contribute over 80% of the Earth’s power supply.

To mark the fiftieth anniversary of his death, the World Climate Forum will be held in the town of his birth, In Salah, Algeria. This story, compiled from the diaries of his daughter, Kana Ult El Khir, will be read as the opening address of the conference.
