I put together an experimental relay for selective file sharing over #blossom and #nostr that allows users to upload files and selectively share them with other users, with the following features:
🚦 Uploaded files are not publicly accessible by default
🔓 Files become available only to nostr users selected by the uploader
I created this to help me experiment with the concept of collective backups and social recovery of files/photos, but thought it could be useful to other builders on the space, so I am publishing it!
Here is where you can find it (still highly experimental 🧪):
https://github.com/Leaf-Computer/blobstr-relay/
If you end up using this (or if you run into bugs), I would love to hear from you!

All pork products from my local butcher (which has been great until now) now contain seed oils.
Supermarkets don't disclose, but if the butcher shops are doing it, I guarantee supermarkets are doing it too.
Be aware.
Time to take responsibility for your own food production.

Bitcoin: THE quantum-classical computer already has 180M qubits with zero decoherence
in its 16 years of existence. It appears Microsoft’s last announcement was another dud. I’m oh so shocked. Bitcoin is still the only working quantum
computer for the last 16 years. Surely physics has nothing to say about consensus.
Why can’t bitcoiners see the inherent flaw of centralization in quantum computing? Bitcoin is the language to understand Quantum Mechanics, it’s not the other way around. How do you actually think “nature” maintains the conservation of energy in its transactional nature; surely not a peer to peer energy “cash” system. It’s so obvious. It’s in the literal name “Bit” (0 or 1; qualia) Coin” (stamping of value; quanta). Actually the perfect blend of qualia and quanta; measured in discrete blocks of time. Explain how a UTXO is not the perfect explanation and behavior of what we observe as a quantum bit.
Centralized Quantum Computing is all fake complexity and black box calculations for what bitcoin has already made simple and transparent. Quantum computing is about “hand wavey” as the federal reserve centrally planning the economy. Wake up. We’ve all been wrong about Bitcoin.

Centralized package registries (like npm, PyPI, RubyGems) are a common pattern but present inherent risks
These registries, controlled by a single entity (company or foundation), wield significant power over their respective ecosystems.
This power includes control over code, rules, and even the direction of development. The speaker expresses concern about the long-term stability and trustworthiness of this model, especially for a for-profit entity.
Recent events at npm (staff reductions, labor disputes) demonstrate the fragility of relying on a single company for the health and maintenance of a crucial community resource. This underscores the need for a more decentralized approach.
Entropic, a federated registry system, offers an alternative: Designed to mitigate the risks of centralization, Entropic aims to distribute trust and control across multiple independent instances.
Decentralized architecture: Distributes the burden of hosting and maintenance, making it more resilient and less dependent on any single entity.
Uses content hashing to ensure data immutability and integrity, making it harder for malicious actors to tamper with packages.
Public key cryptography for verification: Allows for the secure verification of package origins and authenticity.
Enables compatibility with existing package managers while disambiguating package names across different Entropic instances.
Provides seamless transition for existing users by maintaining a copy of packages from npm.
The initial development faced issues with uncontrolled contributions, insufficient documentation, and difficulties coordinating development efforts. The speaker emphasizes the need for better communication, concrete feedback loops, and a well-defined development process.
The primary goal is to refine the underlying protocol to ensure seamless syncing between instances and clients. This includes improving the distributed ledger and making it easy and affordable to operate an Entropic instance.
The success of Entropic hinges on community involvement, particularly in operating new instances and improving the core protocol. The speaker encourages developers to contribute to make this decentralized approach a reality.
If Entropic fails, the JavaScript ecosystem's future could be controlled by a single powerful entity, potentially leading to negative consequences similar to historical anti-competitive behaviors.

Bukele refuses to stop buying Bitcoin, shrugging off IMF pressure like it’s just background noise…a true Bukele move.
Meanwhile, in my country, we’re busy scooping up premined tokens, piling them into the balance sheet, and leaving Bitcoin to fight for scraps in a regulatory chokehold…classic Trump maneuver.
One leader is doubling down on true digital sovereignty.
The other?
Playing politics with altcoins while Bitcoin’s real potential gets sidelined.
History will remember which bet actually mattered.

Bitcoin setup: Ubuntu, Tor, Specter wallet.
Full Node Operation: A Bitcoin full node validates transactions and blocks, relays them to other nodes, and serves lightweight clients like Specter Wallet. Sufficient full nodes are crucial for network decentralization and preventing censorship.
This tutorial guides beginners through setting up a Bitcoin full node using Bitcoin Core, Specter Wallet, and Tor on an Ubuntu Linux system (installable on Mac or PC), emphasizing trust minimization and security.
Older laptops or PCs (even those purchased inexpensively) can effectively run a full node, avoiding the extra cost of a Raspberry Pi. A terabyte hard drive (or larger) is recommended for a fully synced node.
Ubuntu Linux (LTS version recommended) provides a stable and secure operating system. Bitcoin Core is the full node software, and Specter Wallet is a secure, multi-sig compatible Bitcoin-only wallet.
The tutorial details installing and configuring Tor for anonymous network communication, enhancing privacy and security for both Bitcoin Core and Specter Wallet.
The tutorial walks through the installation of Ubuntu, Bitcoin Core, Specter Wallet, and Tor, including command-line instructions for each step. It emphasizes verifying downloaded software integrity using PGP signatures.
The tutorial introduces basic Linux terminal commands (e.g., `cd`, `ls`, `sudo`, `apt`, `vi`), empowering users to manage their system effectively.
Pruned vs. Full Nodes: The video demonstrates the difference between a pruned node (smaller storage requirement, less complete blockchain data) and a full node (requires more storage but contributes fully to network health).
The tutorial highlights security measures such as using strong passwords, enabling disk encryption (optional), and using Tor for anonymous network access.
Self-hosting a full node enhances privacy, reduces reliance on third-party services, and contributes to the decentralization of the Bitcoin network.
--- Repeat List
These are the two lines that you will use to launch Bitcoin Core and Specter Wallet once everything is installed and configured:
cd ~/Downloads/bitcoin*/bitcoin*/bin && ./bitcoin-qt
cd ~/Downloads/specter*/ && ./Specter*.AppImage
-- Downloads List
Ubuntu Linux Minimum System Requirements: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ins...
Download Ubuntu Linux Desktop ISO: https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop
Download Balena Etcher: https://www.balena.io/etcher/
Download Bitcoin Core: https://bitcoin.org/en/download
Download Specter Desktop: https://specter.solutions/downloads/
-- Install Tor
0. download https://deb.torproject.org/torproject...
1. sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://deb.torproject.org/torproject... $(lsb_release -sc) main" (two right angle brackets here) /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tor-project.list'
3. sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tor-project.list (we're launching a lightweight version of vim here, use the h j k and l keys to move around, hover over the - in arch-amd64 and replace with = by pressing c l =, then click esc :wq to write quit which is saving, if you make a mistake click esc :q! to quit without saving)
4. sudo apt install ./Downloads/deb.torproject.org-keyring*.deb (the wild card keeps this command evergreen, since they have new versions and multiple files listed in the tutorial)
5. sudo apt update
6. sudo apt install tor
7. sudo vi /etc/tor/torrc (uncomment two items here by removing the # symbol, scroll down to them using the h j k and l keys)
8. ControlPort 9051 (j j j down to the # symbol then press delete, then escape)
9. CookieAuthentication 1 (j j j down to the # symbol then press delete, then escape, :wq to write and quit, :q! to quit without saving if you make a mistake)
10. sudo systemctl restart tor (restart tor)
-- Install Bitcoin Core
1. https://bitcoin.org/en/download, also save verify release signature
2. open the downloads folder, right click bitcoin-*.tar.gz and click "extract here"
3. cd Downloads/
4. sha256sum --ignore-missing --check SHA256SUMS.asc
5. gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 01EA5486DE18A882D4C2684590C8019E36C2E964
6. gpg --verify SHA256SUMS.asc
7. it should say "Primary key fingerprint: 01EA 5486 DE18 A882 D4C2 6845 90C8 019E 36C2 E964"
8. navigate to Downloads/bitcoin-0.21.0-x86_64-linux-gnu/bitcoin.21.0/bin and right click any empty space to select "Open in Terminal" or you could use cd ~/Downloads/bitcoin*/bitcoin*/bin && ./bitcoin-qt (this launches the GUI version of Bitcoin Core)
9. on the first time running, it will let you select "Use default directory" and "Discard blocks" if you wish to run a prunded node due to limited hard drive space.
10. Settings - Options - Network and check "Connect through SOCKS5 proxy" with 127.0.0.1 and 9050 (might have to restart Bitcoin Core for this change to take effect, use the terminal window and press ctrl + c to close the running instance, then re-launch bitcoin-qt)
11. Settings - Options - Open Configuration File, add the lines server=1 and blockfilterindex=1 (blockfilterindex only works if you aren't running a pruned mode)
12. ctrl + shift + t opens a new terminal tab sudo tail ~/.bitcoin/debug.log -f -n 200 (optional, runs a debug window)

The 60's: You better tip at least 10%
The 80's: You shouldn't tip any less than 15%
The 2000: Anyone tipping less than 20% is a crime
Receipts in 2025 with pr-calculated tips:
25% = $x.xx
30% = $x.xx
35% = $x.xx

Nostr uses libsecp256k1, a bitcoin library. And nostr was built by bitcoiners. So nostr would not exist without bitcoin.
Now that it does exist, i dont think nostr has any dependency on bitcoin except for that library. Devs build on nostr for all sorts of reasons and some of the better-known devs aren't even into bitcoin ( nostr:npub1acg6thl5psv62405rljzkj8spesceyfz2c32udakc2ak0dmvfeyse9p35c )
