This is going to be a sort of long one (or maybe it won't?), because I have a lot of thoughts as a tech and social media enthusiast, and some of those thoughts have to do with how I feel about the direction that social media is moving in. How I feel about Mastodon, and Nostr, side-by-side, and what the biggest problems with Bluesky are. So, let's jump right the heck in ... _**Nostr, the misconceptions, and the truth**_ I recently wrote about [Nostr](https://cmdr-nova.online/2024/07/11/nostr-the-strangest-and-clunkiest-twitter-replacement/), and its relayed protocol of user-owned identity that you can take ... wherever. I outlined a lot of thoughts and impressions I initially had, and then what I wrote went to Reddit, and then it found itself on Nostr. It got there entirely outside my own involvement. I posted to Mastodon, and almost nowhere else. This inspired me to log back in, and set some things up (such as domain verification from one of a few domains I own), and then I explored a bit. I interacted with people, participated in some community events that came up spontaneously, and really dug into the extreme multitude of features that run across the Nostr network. Let's just say, I was pretty floored, and _some_ of the impressions I had were wrong. Such as thinking that a place that is more centered around the idea of lacking censorship, or robust moderation, _must_ be filled with toxic, horrible trolls. In the couple of days I've been messing with the network, I think I've muted like one person who said some off-the-wall shit in my notifications. But ... I think Nostr has nasty people just in the same way Twitter, Threads, and Mastodon do. They exist, and they always will, no matter where you go. Suffice to say, I learned a lot about what decentralization was, and now is. I was given [an article](https://shreyanjain.net/2024/07/05/nostr-and-atproto.html) by user nostr:npub1njst6azswskk5gp3ns8r6nr8nj0qg65acu8gaa2u9yz7yszjxs9s6k7fqx that gave some really in-depth information about the emergence of decentralization--Scuttlebutt, ActivityPub, and then ATProtocol, and Nostr. I'm not going to lie, I originally started writing this as a hit piece against Bluesky, thinking their ATProtocol was just a riff of what Nostr was doing. But, _apparently_, both ATP and Nostr were developed independent of each other, and mostly without any knowledge of one or the other. I think that's ... actually pretty wild, and strange. On the topic of decentralization, which is something I feel is integral to the future of the internet, I now understand Mastodon to be a place of islands, and decentralization that occurs in a way that's more like isolated communities talking to other isolated communities. Like the latter half of The Walking Dead. In a way, it's decentralization, the half-measure. The full-measure, that comes with some iffy trade-offs some may not like, is Nostr, and ATProtocol. You take your identity, your thoughts, your posts, and you move freely between pieces of software, and networks, and you lose _nothing_ (this is nearly the direct opposite of Mastodon, where moving to a new server means burning everything you've ever posted, to the ground). And, honestly, I'm kind of starting to feel like that's _how it should be_. The downside, is that, on Nostr, you have a public key, and a secret key. Your secret key is something you use to log in and sign events coming from your account, and your public key is basically your identity. That's not the iffy part, though. The iffy part, is that people can use your public key to see all of your data _except_ direct messages (which are encrypted). Not entirely _too_ scary, unless you're doing a lot of weird things on your account. But definitely something you should know if you decide that this is a journey you want to take, and you're not jaded from hearing about how much Jack Dorsey loved Nostr and it's Bitcoin affiliation (a lot of people across different platforms hold a lot of dislike for the man). _At this point, I'm less worried about the power consumption of BTC transactions, and have more shifted that focus to content farms from the likes of Microsoft and Nvidia buying up all the AI tech they can get their grubby little hands on_. That aside, I'm not writing this to blow smoke up the Bluesky developer's butts. I, in fact, am not favorable of Bluesky and there are some specific reasons for that. Maybe this spells their downfall, or maybe they'll be a tight-knit community that doesn't really expand all that much, _forever_. _**Bluesky, the Apple of social media**_ Bluesky is a place that a couple million people call home (I think, last I saw, it was around 6 million or so). There's no algorithm, and much like Nostr, you own your identity. Except, for now, that's _mostly_ tied to the website's central server. Now, obviously, there are far less people populating Nostr, but Nostr and its relays are able, and _are_ connected to both ActivityPub and Bluesky (just, not through ATProtocol). Most of what you'll see on bsky.app are quite a few furries, an actually impressive population of Second Life users, and _quite a lot_ of LGBTQ+ people. None of these things or communities are inherently bad. In fact, I think they're probably the _only_ reason Bluesky is really alive at all, today. My angst and negative feelings about the direction of Bluesky have nothing to do with the LGBTQ+ community, or any other community residing on the platform. The issues I mainly hold have to do with how far up their own asses the board and developers are, in regard to the platform, and its development over the past year or so. This is why I _kind of_ think of them as the Apple of social media. And you might think, "Hey, don't you _own_ like a billion pieces of Apple tech?" Yeah, I do. But this is more like if Apple skipped over having Steve Jobs and just went straight to some random guy who didn't know what he was doing. You know, like putting up a wall and locking out all potential users _for a year_, and keeping all new sign-ups under lock and key via exclusive codes. As you might imagine, having that walled-garden erected through six or seven different events where people were leaving Twitter in droves, _very likely probably_ worked _against_ the social network's best interest. Mainly, because Threads came out of absolutely nowhere, and sucked up _most_ of those users. That's only _half_ of the issue, though. The other part to all of this, is that the developers I see directly _on_ Bluesky do not recognize or acknowledge this _at all_. Paul Frazee, whose influence goes back quite a bit further than Bluesky, posts as though it's the greatest platform _ever made_ (maybe just because he's a developer for Bluesky). But the website, despite its six million some-odd users, _feels_ almost completely dead. Which is _ridiculous_, because, as I've said, Nostr has far less users than that, and it most definitely doesn't feel dead when you post. Not to mention, we're over a year into Bluesky, and it still, more or less, is propped up to look, feel, and act just like Twitter did in 2014. ATProtocol, in this respect, still feels mostly like an afterthought that's inaccessible to most users. Meanwhile, if you _really_ like Nostr, you can get going with your own chunk of the network immediately, [with about a page](https://docs.soapbox.pub/ditto/install) of install commands. It's this mixture of grandiosity that emanates from Bluesky, and the blunder of keeping their doors closed through one exodus after another, that I think they've shot themselves in the feet so much that they now don't have feet. They have stumps. But, if you've followed me all the way through this article, I _think_ there's a way they can blow the doors open. But, then they'd have to sort of abandon their idea of the ATProtocol, and stop trying to be the center of social media they most definitely are not, and probably never will be. And, really, that's the final issue I have with Bluesky and the ATProtocol. It _feels_ like they're trying to do Nostr, but be corporate-owned. Bluesky doesn't feel like it's owned by the people, developed by the people, and run by the people. It feels like it's run by some suits, who give the impression that the people will have their freedom, _as long as they say it's okay_. And that, my buddy ol' pal, just ain't okay. _**The elephant and the ostrich**_ Which brings us squarely back to Mastodon, and Nostr. Both platforms have their own merits. Nostr is about controlling your own content, and what you see, and largely eschews censorship to a high degree. But everyone can see almost everything you do and are talking about, whenever they want. Mastodon, on the other hand, puts the tools into a user's hands to _create_ a network, and build their own communities, while picking and choosing _who_ those communities interact with. A network that ... encourages users to police everyone around them ... which is how we end up with tyrannical admins acting like they work in a prison, and they've just been promoted to Warden. If only there were some way to take the best parts of both of these animals, and make them _one_. An elephrich. For now, though, I am at least pretty content to screw around with both while I feel around and see what sticks. In the age of corporate control and censorship so heavy that people can't even say "kill" or "suicide" any more (these are only two of the most egregious examples I can think of), I think it's healthy to explore your options, and cement your identity, and who you are online, before everything else we've come to know is lost _completely_. If that's something you care about, at least.

Stacker.News if a website that may be familiar to most nostriches. But in case it is not, stacker.news is effectively a forum-style website that functions similar to reddit. But, with the very cool feature that sending sats works as the 'upvote' function. It's a great site, so check it out regardless of what I am about to break down. One of the great features of Stacker News is that you get a custodial lightning wallet with your account. This wallet comes with a lightning address as well. Now, this alone is not unique or entirely useful. What makes Stacker News stand out is the way you can configure this wallet to interact with your self-hosted lightning stack. Now, I'm not just talking about the power user that is running their own node (although they do have useful configuration for those users). But, the lighter users that may be using a mobile wallet, such as mutiny, zeus, blixt, phoenix can use Stacker News to improve their zap receiving game. Before I get into how, I want to highlight two great options to receive zaps via ln address if you are using a 'node in the phone solution.' The two options are zaplocker, provided as a solution for users of Zeus' embedded lightning node wallet, and lightning box, provided as a solution for users of the Blixt embedded lightning node wallet. Here is a summary of these two ln address solutions: - Zaplocker: Zaplocker is an ln address provided for Zeus embedded node users. The way zaplocker works is that the sats are held temporarily in Zeus' node (for up to 24 hours), and once you log into your Zeus app and access the embedded node, you can redeem the sats. This can be made easier by setting your Zeus app to automatically redeem and sats awaiting redemption upon logging in, and there is also a persistent mode that can help the app stay on in the background. If the app is on in the background and you have turned on the auto redemption feature, it will function more or less to automatically receive sats much like a custodial wallet or a node you are running on a server - Lightning Box: Lightning Box is an ln address provided for users of Blixt wallet. The way lightning box works is that, as long as you have a channel opened with the blixt wallet node and it has inbound liquidity, you can receive sats to the lightning box ln address. You have to set blixt wallet to persistent mode as part of using lightning box, which makes it more likely that your app will be running in the background and will successfully facilitate receipt of sats sent to the lightning box ln address. Unlike zaplocker, there is no 24 hour redemption time ; if your blixt wallet is not running in the background when the send is attempted, you will not receive the sats. So, these both sound like great solutions and a pleb need not do anything else, right ? Wrong. Both are not perfect solutions, with the main issue being that even with persistent app settings, the apps will inevitably close because phones seem to do that for one unknown reason or another. Or a connection will be lost, and your app will not be running to receive the sats. Or if you want t run the apps over tor, your very likely to have a connection inturrupted. Now, with zeus you still have 24 hours to open it up, sync up your node and receive but we want to up our game so that a user does not have a chance to lose zaps. Enter Stacker News. By Creating a stacker news account (you can even do so with using your blixt or zeus wallet to log in and create your account!), you now have an ln address you can use in place of your zaplocker or lightning box address. Use that stacker news address for receiving zaps on your nostr account. In your stacker news account, go to the wallet link, and click 'Attach Wallets'. Next, click 'configure' under the ln address option. Input your zaplocker or lightning box address. If you want, you can configure stacker news to withdraw automatically by setting the 'desired balance' to 0 sats. There will be a moment of custody, but it is a few seconds in my experience. So, what have we just done and what's the improvement? Well, zaps you receive are going to be received to your stacker news ln address now. The improvement is that the stacker news node is on all the time, and you do not risk missing payments much like one can expect from say a Wallet of Satoshi ln address. With the configuration we made, the stacker news wallet is going to automatically withdraw sats received to your custody in your zaplocker or lightning box. For example: In the event that you are asleep, and your zeus or blixt wallet is not online for hours while nostriches across the globe are zapping the crap out of your viral post, your sats are sitting comftorably in your stacker news wallet. You will fire up your Zeus or Blixt app, and proceed to watch the sats flow into your custody from your stacker news wallet. The result of this setup is a pleb who is not running an 'on all the time' node can experience a comparable receiving experience with minimal custodial exposure. I encourage any pleb, especially those using zaplocker due to the potential harm it can cause to the lightning network, to consider this setup. Let me know what your experience is or, for users already leveraging the Stacker News ln address, I'd be curious to hear about your configuration. Thanks for reading, hopefully someone finds this article helpful! #bitcoin #lightning #zeus #blixt originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/609313

This post is about my experience switching from ChromeOS to Linux on a refurbished ThinkPad T470s.  ### Starting with a not-so-genuine Windows 10 I wasn't comfortable with the potentially hacked Windows 10 that came pre-installed on my ThinkPad, so I decided to replace it with Linux. My initial goal was to install Fedora, a distro I'd used happily since versions 2 or 3. Unfortunately, the installation failed due to a damaged image on a small USB stick. ### Ubuntu detour and Flatpak frustration With Fedora out of the picture for now, I opted for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. While I liked Ubuntu overall, the outdated snap packages were a letdown. Installing Flatpak for more options resulted in a bunch of errors. ### Back to Fedora, finally! Determined to get Fedora running, I discovered the culprit behind the previous failed installation - a small and corrupted USB stick. With a bigger and healthy USB stick, Fedora 39 went in smoothly, followed by a successful upgrade to Fedora 40.  ### Why Fedora? Fedora has been my trusted Linux companion for years. I switched to Ubuntu around versions 13 or 14, mainly for Ubuntu One and Long Term Support (LTS), which unfortunately got discontinued later. After a life-changing event that required me to relearn basic skills (like walking, reading and writing), Linux felt overwhelming, so I opted for the simplicity of Windows, but I wasn’t happy with it. Eventually, I found myself on a Chromebook for its lightweight and I thought travel-friendly nature. ### Back on Linux with the ThinkPad Now, with the ThinkPad, I'm back in the Linux world. The age of the machine isn't an issue, but I do miss the Nautilus image manipulation plugins I used to have. If anyone knows the package names or a setup guide to enable image resizing via right-click, please share in the comments! ### Bonus: Desktop Environment Dilemma Is it worth installing KDE Plasma alongside Gnome to have a choice at login? Or is it too big of a package? Let me know your thoughts (Pro and Cons) in the comments! **P.S.** My foot is healing, and let's just say some travel food choices weren't the best! It happens when you're on the road full-time. **Images:** My current workspace and a screenshot of my Gnome desktop. ### Online [Profile Page](https://rubenstorm.de.cool/) | [Support Page](https://rubenstorm.12hp.de/) > Feel free to support me by sending some sats via the lightning network to rubenstorm@sats.mobi

### The probability of AGI ending us is negative. A common tactic among doomers is to state something along the lines of the following: "If we create AGI, there is some non-zero chance every year, that the AGI will end humanity. Whatever that chance is compounds every year, and is thus unacceptable." The question I would ask the doomer is **"How do you know that the chance of AGI ending humanity isn't negative?"** What does it mean for AGI to have a negative chance of ending humanity? Setting aside AGI for a moment, what is the chance every year that humanity ends from other events, such as nuclear war, solar flares, super-volcanoes, asteroid hits, societal collapse, etc? How do you even answer this question in a reasonable manner? Well lets look at past data. Of all species that have existed 99% have gone extinct. Of our closest 7 relatives from the genus Homo, 100% have gone extinct. On a higher level looking at civilizational collapse. According to Wikipedia, [virtually all](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Societal_collapse) historical societies have collapsed. Looking out into the universe, we see no signs of life elsewhere, so if there was life in the past we can assume that they have gone extinct. It would therefore be reasonable to say that the chance of our extinction is very high even without AGI, well above 90%. Maybe 99%. You could argue the numbers but at least with these numbers we are using some past data to extrapolate the future, where the doomers are using no data whatsoever to support their numbers. We can also state, that of all the species and societies that have collapsed in the past, they have done so because they did not yet have the knowledge on how to survive. They didn't know how to create antibiotics, or generate enough energy, or defend themselves from the environment. What is AGI? AGI is a way to create knowledge. Most all societies in the past have collapsed because they didn't have the knowledge on how to survive, and the doomer argument is that we should slow down our ability to create knowledge, when we know that this has been precisely the problem in the past. It is a certainty we will all die without more knowledge then we have now. The future death of our sun ensures that. We have to create the knowledge on how to survive, and that is what AGI does - it creates knowledge. AGI most certainly has a negative probability of ending humanity.

The African sun is warming things up here at Kilimanjaro, but there's still a crispness in the morning air. My fleece jacket came in handy after a refreshing shower! I started my day with a perfect combo: coffee and breakfast on the rooftop, with a stunning view as my backdrop.  Speaking of tech, today was dedicated to getting my workspace set up. First on the agenda: Thunderbird, my trusty email client from my Linux days. It took a few hours to wrangle everything, especially the S/MIME encryption. Feeling a bit lost in the weeds, I decided to switch gears and embrace OpenPGP for end-to-end encryption – a simpler solution in my opinion. Just as I finished conquering Thunderbird, Kilimanjaro itself decided to make an appearance! The clouds parted to reveal the majestic peak, and I couldn't resist capturing the moment with a couple of photos. Today's another day with no set plans, just taking things minute by minute. Soaking up the beautiful scenery, the cool mornings, and the positive vibes. As soon as my foot heals, I'll be out exploring the town, snapping photos, and enjoying a delicious coffee at a local cafe.  Speaking of exploring, the world of NFTs has piqued my interest. I have a few on Opensea and WAX Blockchain, but I'm curious – where else are people showcasing their digital art? Let me know in the comments where you buy and sell your NFTs, or if they're just patiently waiting for a better future. I'd love to hear your NFT stories!  Life has a way of taking us on unexpected journeys. So, here's to embracing the unexpected, making the most of each situation, and maybe even finding a small online job to boost my budget. Wishing you all a wonderful day – and remember, don't stress yourself!  ### **Online** [Profile Page](https://rubenstorm.de.cool/) | [Support Page](https://rubenstorm.12hp.de/) > Feel free to support me by sending some sats via the lightning network to rubenstorm@sats.mobi

... something else This is the final image. Or is it? Likely, it is not. I have already started on a *perfect* version of my ***Mother Earth ***painting. Of course, there is no such thing as a **perfect** painting. What I mean is that I already started on a vector version of Mother Earth. You're familiar with vector vs. pixel, right? But let's start at the beginning, not the end. This here is a pic from the sketching phase. I am not one who can just magically and with a few strokes produce an amazing sketch of something that resembles a human. There are artists out there that do this wonderfully. It's amazing but it is not me (unfortunately).  Here I am starting to color in the sketch with a watercolor brush. This is all done in Procreate App on an iPad Pro. The coloring is on a separate layer with the pencil sketch set to multiply to shine through the colors. That's why the pencil strokes now are black. I like that look.  And here, I am almost done. Just need to decide on the background color. And as you can see from the gif and video I didn't really decide. Though at the moment I am favoring that muted pinkish red - LOL  Which color is your favorite?   Here you can see the whole process in a timelapse. Above pictures were grabbed from it to detail the process a little. https://cdn.satellite.earth/05774dcaaf4679c34cbeb46cb43b4c4f85553a3d2b4850a7256d26a871b0c4f3.mp4 And that's it my Nostr friends for my first longform post in this community.

I woke up in my dorm this morning to the sound of rain – a rarity in Africa, but a common occurrence here around Mount Kilimanjaro. The climate is much like a European summer, with comfortable temperatures ranging from 18 to 30 degrees Celsius. Unlike the rest of Africa, this region receives more rainfall, creating a lush and scenic environment.  After a quick shower, I stepped out onto the balcony to find myself greeted by a chilly rain. Not ideal weather for exploring, but it did present a different perspective of the majestic Kilimanjaro. The mountain, often shrouded in clouds, occasionally peeks through, and on a clear day, might even be bathed in sunshine. From this vantage point, it's hard to imagine the countless hikers making their way up its slopes. Did you know that Kilimanjaro, Africa's tallest mountain and a dormant volcano, once held a unique title? Back in 1910, during the German Empire, it was considered the empire's highest peak. While Mount Everest holds the title of the world's highest mountain overall, Kilimanjaro takes the crown for the tallest freestanding mountain – any higher peak is likely part of a mountain range or group. Gazing at Kilimanjaro, I'm struck by its history – a single, towering volcano, once a part of the German Empire. Traces of that era linger in Moshi, with some colonial-era buildings, some in disrepair, others beautifully restored. Arusha, another nearby town, boasts an impressive art gallery and a fascinating National Museum. This museum, housed in a former German fort, offers a glimpse into the past. One particularly intriguing resident is a giant tortoise, discovered by German colonists as a hatchling in Kilimanjaro National Park. This living relic has witnessed a century of change, a silent observer of a bygone era.  Today promises to be a relaxing one. I'll spend time soaking up the views from the rooftop, hoping to catch a glimpse of Kilimanjaro in all its glory. On a more practical note, I'm also on the hunt for a remote job to help with some financial constraints. Finding the right opportunity seems to be a bit more challenging than anticipated. As I wrap up this post, the weather has taken a turn for the better. The rain has stopped, the temperature has risen, and the sun is beginning to peek through the clouds. Here's to a wonderful day for everyone – enjoy yours! (P.S. Be sure to check out the photos – one captures Kilimanjaro from yesterday evening, the other is a picture of me with the giant tortoise from my previous trip here in December 2022). ### **Online** [Profile Page](https://rubenstorm.de.cool/) | [Support Page](https://rubenstorm.12hp.de/) > Feel free to support me by sending some sats via the lightning network to rubenstorm@sats.mobi

Anna Britt Agnsäter ผู้อุทิศชีวิตให้โภชนาการ แต่โดนโลกบูลลีเพราะอเมริกา? โลกรับรู้ว่า คุณ Anna Britt Agnsäter (ขอเรียกสั้นๆว่า ป้าแอน) เป็นผู้ที่นำเสนอ ปิรามิดอาหาร คนแรกของโลก และเป็นแบบจำลองที่ทาง USDA นำไปพัฒนาปรับใช้แล้วนำมาเป็น แบบที่ใช้สื่อสารกับคนทั้งโลก ในเรื่องของการกำหนด ประเภทอาหารที่ควรกิน ในช่วงปี 1992-2005 ซึ่งในบทความที่แล้วผมได้เขียนว่า ปิรามิดเวอร์ชั่นที่ป้าแอนคิด กับ ที่อเมริกาเอาไปปรับใช้เป็นคนละตัวกัน แต่โลกทั้งโลกก็บูลลีป้าเอนว่า เป็นสาเหตุของการทำลายสุขภาพคนทั้งโลก ทั้งๆที่ไม่ได้เป็นนักวิทยาศาสตร์ ผมก็เป็นคนนึงที่เคยคิดแบบนั้นครับ และเคยอุทานในใจเบาๆว่า แกเป็นใครนะทำไมถึงนำเสนออะไรแบบนี้มาทำร้ายคนทั้งโลก??? **นานวันเข้า ความคิดอีกฝั่งของผมก็บอกมาว่า ประโยคข้างบนเป็นคำบ่นหรือคำถาม** นั่นสิ!!!!! ถ้ามันเป็นคำถาม มันจะทำให้เราได้รู้จักตัวตนป้าแอนและเข้าใจว่าแกได้ทำอะไรลงไปนะ มันควรเป็นคำถามมากกว่าคำบ่น นั่นเลยเป็นเหตุผลที่ทำให้ผมเริ่มขุดเรื่องป้าแอน Anna Britt Agnsäter มากที่สุดเท่าที่จะทำได้ พร้อมที่จะอ่านกันแล้วใช่ไหมครับ Anna Britt Agnsäter เกิดเมื่อปี 1915 ที่เมือง Älmhult ประเทศสวีเดน (นอกเรื่องนิดนึง เมืองนี้คือเมืองที่ให้กำเนิด IKEA ที่เรารู้จักกันดีเรื่องเฟอร์นิเจอร์ ที่นี่มีพิพิธภัณฑ์อิเกีย ซึ่งปรับปรุงมาจากโกดังแห่งแรกของเขาด้วยครับ) เรียกได้ว่า เกิดในช่วงสงครามโลกครั้งที่1 พอดีเลยครับ ป้าแอน จบการศึกษาที่โรงเรียนสตรี ในเมือง Ystad ก่อนจะเข้ารับการฝึกสอนเพื่อเป็นครูสอนวิทยาศาสตร์ในครัวเรือน (rural domestic science teacher) ในช่วงปี 1930 ที่โรงเรียนวิทยาศาสตร์ในครัวเรือนในชนบทชื่อว่า Rimforsa ก่อนจะได้รับวุฒิการศึกษาการสอนวิทยาศาสตร์ในครัวเรือนในชนบทในปี 1939 จาก Kvinnliga medborgarskola (civic women’s school) จนกระทั่ง ปี 1943 ถึง 1945 เธอได้เดินทางไปทั่ว Norrland (พื้นที่ภาคเหนือของสวีเดน) โดยได้รับเงินสนับสนุนจาก Kooperativa Förbund (เรียกสั้นๆว่า KF หรือ สมาคมสหกรณ์ ก่อตั้งขึ้นในปี 1899 โดยสหกรณ์ผู้บริโภคในท้องถิ่น 41 แห่ง เป็นผู้นำด้านการค้าปลีกในสวีเดนโดยพัฒนารูปแบบร้านค้าใหม่และใหญ่ขึ้น และเป็นหนึ่งในกลุ่มธุรกิจหลักในสแกนดิเนเวีย ในสมัยนี้คำว่าสหกรณ์อาจจะดูเชยๆ แต่ต้องเข้าใจครับว่ายุคนั้นคือความก้าวหน้ามากๆ และต้องมีความรู้รอบด้านทั้งวิทยาศาสตร์ เศรษฐกิจ การเมือง) เพื่อบรรยายให้คนหนุ่มสาวและแม่บ้านฟังเกี่ยวกับวิธีรับมือกับเสบียงที่มีจำกัดในช่วงสงครามที่ตึงเครียด เนื่องจากอยู่ในภาวะสงครามโลกครั้งที่2  **ในปี 1946** ป้าแอนได้รับการแต่งตั้งเป็นหัวหน้าของSwedish Cooperative Union หรือ Kooperativa Förbundets (KF) Provkök (experimental kitchen หรือ ภาษาสมัยนี้น่าจะใกล้เคียงกับ kitchen lab นั่นเอง) ซึ่งเป็นองค์กรที่มีอิทธิพลทางด้านอาหารเป็นอย่างมากในสวีเดน มีบทบาทสำคัญในเศรษฐกิจและสังคมสวีเดน โดยสร้างโอกาสให้แก่สมาชิกและส่งเสริมการพัฒนาที่ยั่งยืนในชุมชนต่าง ๆ ทั่วประเทศ ป้าแอนทำงานที่นี่นานจนถึงช่วงปี 1980 ขนาดของ KF ก็ใหญ่โตขึ้นมากมาย จนขยายอำนาจและขอบเขตการทำงานไปถึงการเป็นคณะกรรมการทดสอบรสชาติซึ่งทดสอบอาหารกึ่งสำเร็จรูปและอาหารสำเร็จรูปใหม่ด้วย ในจุดนี้ ป้าแอน เล็งเห็นความสำคัญและความรับผิดชอบของผู้ผลิต/ผู้ค้าอาหาร ควรจะขยายความรับผิดชอบครอบคลุมไปจนถึงโต๊ะอาหาร (ในที่นี่น่าจะหมายถึงลูกค้า) นั่นคือเหตุผลที่การติดฉลากอาหารจึงมีความสำคัญมาก ป้าแอนได้มุ่งเน้นให้ความรู้กับผู้บริโภคว่า ‘Weigh up the price against the quality’ หรือ ให้ชั่งน้ำหนักพิจารณาให้ดี ระหว่างราคากับคุณภาพ ตลอดระยะเวลาการทำงาน Anna-Britt Agnsäter ได้รณรงค์เพื่อให้มีการแสดงข้อมูล ให้ผู้บริโภครับทราบ เพื่อคุณภาพชีวิตที่ดีขึ้นและได้ให้คำแนะนำด้านโภชนาการ เพื่อให้เข้าใจได้ง่ายขึ้น ในรูปแบบ**ฉลากโภชนาการ** **ในปี 1946** เช่นกันป้าแอนได้มีแผนในการทำ มีแผนที่จะผลิตหนังสือสอนทำอาหารสำหรับสถานการณ์ฉุกเฉิน เพราะบทเรียนในภาวะสงครามโลก ที่ป้าแอนผ่านมาตลอด แต่ไม่สามารถพิมพ์ออกมาได้เนื่องจากกระดาษขาดแคลนเนื่องจากอยู่ในภาวะหลังสงคราม **ในปี 1948-1949** ป้าแอนเดินทางไปอเมริกา เพื่อศึกษาเทคนิคการทำอาหารใหม่ๆ การผลิตภัณฑ์อาหารแช่แข็ง รวมถึงอาหารผงแห้งต่างๆ (dry powder) รวมไปถึงวิทยาศาสตร์การอาหาร (food science) ที่มหาวิทยาลัย Iowa State University การเดินทางมาอเมริกาครั้งนี้เปลี่ยนโลกของป้าแอนเป็นอย่างมาก ในตอนที่ป้าทำงานกับ KF เธอมักจะร่วมงานกับ Hemmens Forskningsinstitut (สถาบันวิจัยในประเทศ) เพื่อจัดหาเครื่องมือในครัวที่ยกระดับมาตรฐานการทำอาหารที่ดียิ่งขึ้น รวมถึงอุปกรณ์การครัว ภาชนะต่างๆที่เข้าเตาอบได้ และจากประสบการณ์ที่อเมริกานี้ ป้าแอนได้จับมือกับ โรงงานเครื่องเคลือบและพลาสติก Gustavsberg และ HFI Anna-Britt Agnsäter พัฒนาช้อนตวง ชุด4ชิ้น ที่วางซ้อนกันได้ ซึ่งเป็นการปฎิวัติวงการอาหารครั้งสำคัญของสวีเดน เรียกว่า **“ชุดช้อนตวงมาตรฐาน”** ซึ่งจะมีการระบุขนาดที่ชัดเจน 4 ชิ้น ประกอบไปด้วย  ซึ่งทำให้ผู้ใช้สามารถวัดปริมาณวัตถุดิบได้อย่างถูกต้องตามที่สูตรอาหารกำหนด กลายเป็นเครื่องมือที่จำเป็นในครัวเรือนและการประกอบอาหารในเชิงพาณิชย์ แม้การพัฒนา “ชุดช้อนตวงมาตรฐาน” นี้จะเริ่มต้นในสวีเดน แต่นวัตกรรมนี้มีผลกระทบที่กว้างขวางและแพร่หลายไปยังครัวเรือนและอุตสาหกรรมอาหารทั่วโลกจนถึงปัจจุบัน   ในชุดช้อนตวงมาตรฐาน original 4 คุณอาจสังเกตคำนึงที่ไม่ค่อยคุ้นสักเท่าไรคือหน่วย **kryddmått** นอกจากชุดช้อนตวงมาตรฐานแล้ว ป้าแอนยังคิดค้นสิ่งต่างๆอีกมากมาย ให้กับวงการอาหารสวีเดน รวมถึงหน่วยวัดใหม่ที่เรียกว่า **kryddmått** นี้ด้วยครับ ซึ่งมันเป็นหน่วยวัดขนาดเล็กที่ใช้ในการตวงเครื่องเทศและวัตถุดิบปริมาณน้อย โดยหน่วยวัดนี้มีขนาด 1 มิลลิลิตร (ml)ซึ่งถูกกำหนดมาเป็นหน่วยที่เล็กที่สุดซึ่งทำให้มีการจดบันทึกสูตรได้แม่นยำยิ่งขึ้น นั่นเพราะว่า การตวงเครื่องเทศ หรือ เกลือ นั้นหากรสชาติที่เข้มข้น หรือมีการใช้มากเกินไปหรือไม่พออาจทำให้รสชาติของอาหารเปลี่ยนไป การใช้ kryddmått ช่วยให้การวัดปริมาณเครื่องเทศที่ใช้ในสูตรอาหารเป็นไปอย่างแม่นยำและสม่ำเสมอ  ถือว่าเป็นอีกผลงานคุโณปการที่ป้าแอน ฝากไว้ให้กับโลกนี้ มันมีส่วนสำคัญในการทำให้งานครัวเรือนง่ายขึ้นและมีประสิทธิภาพมากขึ้นผ่านการพัฒนาหน่วยวัดที่แม่นยำและสะดวกในการใช้งาน นวัตกรรมนี้ช่วยให้การทำอาหารเป็นไปอย่างราบรื่นและมีคุณภาพสูงยิ่งขึ้น  **ในปี 1951** ป้าแอนได้บูรณะหนังสือการทำอาหารประจำสวีเดนใหม่ทั้งหมด (Vår kokbok) จุดประสงค์ของตำราอาหาร Vår คือการนำเสนอตำราอาหารราคาต้นทุนวัตถุดิบไม่แพง ที่ให้ความรู้เรื่องสารอาหารและใช้งานง่าย นอกจากนี้ยังเป็นการวางวัตถุดิบให้ได้รับสารอาหารที่เพียงพออีกด้วย เพราะในยุคนั้นสวีเดนมีข้อจำกัดในเรื่องอาหารเป็นอย่างมาก เนื้อหาสูตรอาหารที่ใช้ในหนังสือเล่มนี้กลายเป็นบรรทัดฐานในช่วงทศวรรษ 1950 โดยมีการใช้หน่วยชั่งตวงแบบใหม่ ตามชุดช้อนตวงมาตรฐาน (ปริมาตร) จากของเดิมที่ใช้การชั่งน้ำหนัก ใช้ศัพท์ในการทำอาหารแบบเป็นสากล เช่น ขูด ปอกเปลือก ล้าง เป็นต้น (grate, peel, rinse) จัดอาร์ทเวิคให้แต่ละสูตร สามารถจบได้ในหน้าเดียวไม่ต้องพลิกอ่านหน้าต่อๆไป ทำให้สะดวกในการเปิดแล้วทำตาม การไล่ลำดับอาหาร เปลี่ยนจากการไล่ประเภทอาหาร ไปเป็นไล่ลำดับตามวัตถุดิบหลักของอาหาร ทำให้คนอ่านสามารถบริหารจัดการเมนูได้ง่าย เช่น ไก่ ก็สามารถไล่เรียงได้เลยว่า วันนี้มีไก่ จะทำอะไรกินดี นอกจากนี้ยังรับประกันว่าทุกสูตรสามารถทำได้จริง เพราะป้าแอนลงมือทดสอบสูตรด้วยตัวเองทุกสูตร นอกจากนี้ยังคงมีการแนะนำให้ใช้การวัดอุณหภูมิในการทำอาหารด้วยเพื่อความเป๊ะในรสชาติ เนื่องจากป้าแอนเห็นตอนไปดูงานที่อเมริกา จนถึงทุกวันนี้ Vår kokbok เป็นหนึ่งในตำราอาหารที่ขายมากที่สุดในโลกด้วยยอดขายมากกว่า 2.3 ล้านเล่มนับตั้งแต่เริ่มต้น โดยเฉลี่ยมากกว่า 40,000 เล่มต่อปี   ด้วยความที่ Kooperativa Förbundets เป็นองค์กรที่มีอิทธิพลสูงมากในวงการอาหารสวีเดน และคุณป้าแอน ก็มีตำแหน่งที่สูงมาก จึงสามารถเป็นผู้มีส่วนสนับสนุนรูปแบบซูเปอร์มาร์เก็ตสมัยใหม่ ในการใส่รายการส่วนผสมและคำแนะนำในการปรุงอาหารในรูปแบบ**ฉลากของผลิตภัณฑ์อาหารสมัยใหม่**  **จนกระทั่งในช่วงปี 1970** ประเทศสวีเดนต้องเผชิญกับปัญหาราคาอาหารที่สูงเนื่องจากเงินเฟ้อ รวมถึงสภาพอากาศของสวีเดนนั้น ไม่เอื้อต่อการได้รับสารอาหารที่หลากหลายได้ ครอบครัวที่มีเด็ก ไม่สามารถปรุงอาหารและรับประทานอาหารที่มีคุณค่าทางโภชนาการในราคาที่เหมาะสมได้ รัฐบาลจึงมอบหมายให้ Sweden’s National Board of Health and Welfare (คณะกรรมการสุขภาพและสวัสดิการแห่งชาติของสวีเดน) หาวิธีแก้ไขสถานการณ์ดังกล่าว และคัดกรองแบ่งประเภทอาหารออกเป็น “basic food” และ “supplement” มาเป็นรูปแบบของ กราฟวงกลม (diet circle) แต่ป้าแอนพบปัญหาบางอย่าง ที่ทำให้กราฟวงกลมนี้ใช้งานยาก เพราะการแบ่งปริมาณของอาหารแต่ละประเภทไม่ชัดเจน ในระหว่างบรรยายเรื่องการกำหนดอาหารพื้นฐาน คุณ Fjalar Clemes หนึ่งในผู้เข้าร่วมการบรรยาย ได้ให้ไอเดียด้วยการสร้างแบบจำลองที่เรียกว่า ปิรามิดอาหาร (Food Pyramid) ขึ้นมา เพื่อให้เห็นภาพสัดส่วนอาหารที่ชัดเจนขึ้น ป้าแอนเลยนำข้อมูลจากกราฟวงกลมนั้น มาสร้างโมเดลจำลองให้อยู่ในรูปแบบปิรามิด โดยให้ “basic food” เช่น ขนมปัง มันฝรั่ง พาสต้า และนม และ “supplements” เช่น ผลไม้ ผัก เนื้อสัตว์ และปลา อยู่ในรูปแบบที่เข้าใจได้ง่ายขึ้น แม้แต่คนที่อ่านหนังสือไม่ออก  แต่นี่แหละที่เป็นจุดเริ่มต้นของปัญหา ด้วยความที่มันใช้งานง่ายสะดวก อเมริกาจึงนำไปปรับปรุงเป็นเวอร์ชั่นตัวเอง แต่ก็มีการเปลี่ยนแปลงไปอย่างมาก ตามที่ได้มีการทำบทความไปแล้ว (อ่านที่นี่) ทั้งๆที่ปิรามิดต้นแบบของป้าแอนนั้น สร้างขึ้นมาเพื่อชาวสวีเดนเนื่องจากนำข้อมูลพื้นฐานจากข้อจำกัดในประเทศในขณะนั้น ไม่ว่าจะเรื่องของวัตถุดิบที่หาได้ในภาวะยากแค้นแบบนั้น อุณหภูมิอันปรวนแปร รวมถึงสภาพเศรษฐกิจที่ย่ำแย่มาก การจัดแจงข้อจำกัดที่มีเพื่อให้ได้สารอาหารที่เพียงพอที่สุดเท่าที่จะทำได้ต่างหาก (eat healthier, more affordable and save on fat) ที่เป็นที่มาของ

* Prepared a Dutch webinar with an short introduction to Nostr - [https://welkom.keuzevrijbijmij.nl/evenement/wwebinar-vergroot-je-privacy-op-social-media-10-juli/](https://welkom.keuzevrijbijmij.nl/evenement/wwebinar-vergroot-je-privacy-op-social-media-10-juli/)  * Received a nice t-shirt with the Nostr-PHP logo from Bitpopart who designed the logo * Did an introduction talk in Dutch on a webinar with 350+ people subscribed on July 10th. 100+ watched the webinar live. * Here is the full replay:  At around 38min the Nostr stuff begins * Adding pages and wrote some documentation on [nostr-php.dev](http://nostr-php.dev) * Added a custom field `field_nsec` to the user entity on [nostrver.se](http://nostrver.se) (Drupal website) using the contrib module [field\_encrypt](https://git.drupalcode.org/project/field_encrypt). The value of this field is stored encrypted in the database using a self created private key. This key is stored as a blob the server, but multiple ways of storing this are possible. In the Drupal CMS I now can save a Nostr private key for each user which will be fetch from nostr\_content\_nip23. All changes made in this Drupal contrib module for this: [https://git.drupalcode.org/project/nostr_content_nip23/-/commit/cbc172b976aceaff107fea0296a8a476e098467e](https://git.drupalcode.org/project/nostr_content_nip23/-/commit/cbc172b976aceaff107fea0296a8a476e098467e) * With a `nsec` stored for each user, it’s possible to select a user when you’re broadcasting an Nostr event from Drupal. The event will be signed with the nsec of the selected user.

This is the third in a series of weekly updates detailing progress on bringing MLS protocol DMs and group messaging to Nostr. ## Previous Updates - [June 28th 2024](https://habla.news/u/jeffg.fyi/1719562889267) - [July 6th 2024](https://habla.news/u/jeffg.fyi/1720256910765) ## Progress this week Short update post this week but I made solid progress updating several OpenMLS dependencies and building a new library that implements all the OpenMLS crypto requirements for Nostr. ### HPKE-RS I mentioned a PR last week on the `rust-hpke` library, that PR is still waiting on review. However, in the meantime, the OpenMLS library depends on a slightly different hpke library, the `hpke-rs` library. This library didn't support the secp256k1 curve either so I've [opened a PR](https://github.com/franziskuskiefer/hpke-rs/pull/66) to add support for secp256k1. That PR uses the `RustCrypto` library that is the default in the the `hpke-rs` library. However, because this library is built to allow for swapping out the underlying crypto library (using traits), I was also able to create a new library that uses the `secp256k1` library instead of the `RustCrypto` library. This is the main crypto library that almost all Bitcoin and Nostr apps use so it's important we use that instead of `RustCrypto`. ### OpenMLS Nostr Crypto The library that I've created ([openmls-nostr-crypto](https://github.com/erskingardner/openmls_nostr_crypto)) does a few things via separate sub-libraries (crates). The entire library tries to do as little as possible; only implementing the one required ciphersuite for all MLS implementations and the `secp256k1` schnorr signatures ciphersuite I've created for Nostr. It's also using the right `secp256k1` library to do it. **openmls-nostr-crypto:** implementes the crypto traits that the OpenMLS library expects to find for a given provider and removes all the ciphersuites that we don't care about supporting. **hpke-rs-nostr-crypto:** This implements the crypto traits that the hpke-rs library expects to find. Again removing all the ciphersuites we don't care about supporting. I've not yet written any tests for these libraries (which needs to be done) but I've gotten some very simple demos working with OpenMLS using this new set of libraries to handle the crypto. I've been really impressed with the simplicity of the OpenMLS interface as well. While there is A LOT going on under the hood, the public interface that client developers have to use is clean and simple. ## Onward and Upward Next week I'll continue working on these libraries; adding tests and continuing to build out my small demo app. I've been in touch with the maintainers of the OpenMLS library and I'm hoping to get a review done with them on my PRs and on my new library. One thing I'll call out here: The review of my library and getting them to review the direction of the project overall will be paid consulting so I'm making sure that I've got as much done as possible before scheduling that time and paying their rates. I'm a strong believer that the right conversation can save you months of wasted time, but I'm also a believer in making sure you're prepared if you're going to drop money on that conversation. 😅

A thriving society rests on the principles of modesty and humility, avoiding idleness and self-indulgence. Individuals are needed to forsake the constant pursuit of attention and instead aspire to selflessness, dedicating themselves to serving humanity. Humility fosters spiritual harmony and protects against materialism and selfish desires. Beyond personal conduct, humanity must champion altruism and solidarity within the global community. Belief in collective endeavors will pave the way for global harmony. Embracing values like kindness, compassion, and genuine concern for others promotes positivity and reflects the influence of a higher power. The aim is to cultivate a unified multicultural community where each person contributes to manifesting this higher presence. The collective goal is to direct humanity to nurture a community that experiences spiritual growth while upholding humility as a guiding principle, resisting materialism's allure. By creating such an environment, the hope is to resonate with a sacred harmony that extends beyond immediate boundaries. Through intentional actions and meaningful relationships, a collective space embodying these values can be established, ensuring the higher power's presence guides individual lives and interactions with the world.

# What Can We Get by Breaking NOSTR? "What if we just started over? What if we took everything we have learned while building nostr and did it all again, but did it right this time?" That is a question I've heard quite a number of times, and it is a question I have pondered quite a lot myself. My conclusion (so far) is that I believe that we can fix all the important things without starting over. There are different levels of breakage, starting over is the most extreme of them. In this post I will describe these levels of breakage and what each one could buy us. ## Cryptography Your key-pair is the most fundamental part of nostr. That is your portable identity. If the cryptography changed from secp256k1 to ed25519, all current nostr identities would not be usable. This would be a complete start over. Every other break listed in this post could be done as well to no additional detriment (save for reuse of some existing code) because we would be starting over. Why would anyone suggest making such a break? What does this buy us? - [Curve25519 is a safe curve](https://safecurves.cr.yp.to/) meaning a bunch of specific cryptography things that us mortals do not understand but we are assured that it is somehow better. - Ed25519 is more modern, said to be faster, and has more widespread code/library support than secp256k1. - Nostr keys could be used as TLS server certificates. [TLS 1.3](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8446#section-4.4.2) using [RFC 7250 Raw Public Keys](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7250) allows raw public keys as certificates. No DNS or certification authorities required, removing several points of failure. These ed25519 keys could be used in TLS, whereas secp256k1 keys cannot as no TLS algorithm utilizes them AFAIK. Since relays currently don't have assigned nostr identities but are instead referenced by a websocket URL, this doesn't buy us much, but it is interesting. This idea is explored further below (keep reading) under a lesser level of breakage. Besides breaking everything, another downside is that people would not be able to manage nostr keys with bitcoin hardware. I am fairly strongly against breaking things this far. I don't think it is worth it. ## Signature Scheme and Event Structure Event structure is the next most fundamental part of nostr. Although events can be represented in many ways (clients and relays usually parse the JSON into data structures and/or database columns), the nature of the content of an event is well defined as seven particular fields. If we changed those, that would be a hard fork. This break is quite severe. All current nostr events wouldn't work in this hard fork. We would be preserving identities, but all content would be starting over. It would be difficult to bridge between this fork and current nostr because the bridge couldn't create the different signature required (not having anybody's private key) and current nostr wouldn't be generating the new kind of signature. Therefore any bridge would have to do identity mapping just like bridges to entirely different protocols do (e.g. mostr to mastodon). What could we gain by breaking things this far? - We could have a faster event hash and id verification: the current signature scheme of nostr requires lining up 5 JSON fields into a JSON array and using that as hash input. There is a performance cost to copying this data in order to hash it. - We could introduce a subkey field, and sign events via that subkey, while preserving the pubkey as the author everybody knows and searches by. Note however that we can already get a remarkably similar thing using something like NIP-26 where the actual author is in a tag, and the pubkey field is the signing subkey. - We could refactor the kind integer into composable bitflags (that could apply to any application) and an application kind (that specifies the application). - Surely there are other things I haven't thought of. I am currently against this kind of break. I don't think the benefits even come close to outweighing the cost. But if I learned about other things that we could "fix" by restructuring the events, I could possibly change my mind. ## Replacing Relay URLs Nostr is defined by relays that are addressed by websocket URLs. If that changed, that would be a significant break. Many (maybe even most) current event kinds would need superseding. The most reasonable change is to define relays with nostr identities, specifying their pubkey instead of their URL. What could we gain by this? - We could ditch reliance on DNS. Relays could publish events under their nostr identity that advertise their current IP address(es). - We could ditch certificates because relays could generate ed25519 keypairs for themselves (or indeed just self-signed certificates which might be much more broadly supported) and publish their public ed25519 key in the same replaceable event where they advertise their current IP address(es). This is a gigantic break. Almost all event kinds need redefining and pretty much all nostr software will need fairly major upgrades. But it also gives us a kind of Internet liberty that many of us have dreamt of our entire lives. I am ambivalent about this idea. ## Protocol Messaging and Transport The protocol messages of nostr are the next level of breakage. We could preserve keypair identities, all current events, and current relay URL references, but just break the protocol of how clients and relay communicate this data. This would not necessarily break relay and client implementations at all, so long as the new protocol were opt-in. What could we get? - The new protocol could transmit events in binary form for increased performance (no more JSON parsing with it's typical many small memory allocations and string escaping nightmares). I think event throughput could double (wild guess). - It could have clear expectations of who talks first, and when and how AUTH happens, avoiding a lot of current miscommunication between clients and relays. - We could introduce bitflags for feature support so that new features could be added later and clients would not bother trying them (and getting an error or timing out) on relays that didn't signal support. This could replace much of NIP-11. - We could then introduce something like negentropy or negative filters (but not that... probably something else solving that same problem) without it being a breaking change. - The new protocol could just be a few websocket-binary messages enhancing the current protocol, continuing to leverage the existing websocket-text messages we currently have, meaning newer relays would still support all the older stuff. The downsides are just that if you want this new stuff you have to build it. It makes the protocol less simple, having now multiple protocols, multiple ways of doing the same thing. Nonetheless, this I am in favor of. I think the trade-offs are worth it. I will be pushing a draft PR for this soon. ## The path forward I propose then the following path forward: 1. A new nostr protocol over websockets binary (draft PR to be shared soon) 2. Subkeys brought into nostr via NIP-26 (but let's use a single letter tag instead, OK?) via a big push to get all the clients to support it (the transition will be painful - most major clients will need to support this before anybody can start using it). 3. Some kind of solution to the negative-filter-negentropy need added to the new protocol as its first optional feature. 4. We seriously consider replacing Relay URLs with nostr pubkeys assigned to the relay, and then have relays publish their IP address and TLS key or certificate. We sacrifice these: 1. Faster event hash/verification 2. Composable event bitflags 3. Safer faster more well-supported crypto curve 4. Nostr keys themselves as TLS 1.3 RawPublicKey certificates

Hey everyone, Today wasn't super eventful, but there were a couple things I wanted to share. First off, I had to pay rent, which meant a trip to the bank with my still-not-great foot. On the bright side, I took some pictures of Moshi along the way - hopefully you'll enjoy a glimpse of the city!  Speaking of my foot, there's been some improvement! The pain isn't constant anymore, only when I'm walking around. It looks better too, so hopefully it'll be back to normal soon. Now, onto the slightly more frustrating topic: the Kenyan border situation. As you might recall, I had a big issue where border control wouldn't let me leave the country and even refused to contact my embassy. Basically, they held me hostage (which, by the way, is a violation of international law). Two days later, I managed to get out through a different border. Recently, the Kenyan police has started investigating. They contacted me on WhatsApp a few days ago, and things are getting stranger by the day.  There's a big part of this that just doesn't add up. They keep asking for a photo of the exit stamp, but the officer who wouldn't let me leave never gave me one. He actually denied my exit and put me on a bus back to the city! I explained this and told them another border provided the stamp later, but they insist they need the original stamp to find this as "proof" related to this officer. It just doesn't connect to the man who caused the problem in the first place.  Even more concerning, they want me to return to Kenya. First, they want me to sign a document, but when I expressed hesitation about returning, they switched to asking me to identify this officer in a lineup. And all of this communication is happening on a personal WhatsApp number, which makes the whole situation incredibly suspicious. Overall, it's a confusing situation. On a brighter note, my foot is definitely on the mend. Here's to hoping it keeps getting better! That's all for today. I'll just be relaxing and grabbing some dinner later. Stay tuned for more updates!   ### **Online** [Profile Page](https://rubenstorm.de.cool/) | [Support Page](https://rubenstorm.12hp.de/) > Feel free to support me by sending some sats via the lightning network to rubenstorm@sats.mobi

For more than a while now, I think you have experienced the feeling that things are not right in the world or in your country, it is not surprising that it coincides with a moment in history where we will experience the end of a monetary cycle like It is FIAT money or in other words fiat money that is backed by debt, every day you look around you and people do not find much hope in the future, many of them are working to support themselves, pay the costs of living and In the best of cases, just saving a little inflationary money, a slower theft in the population, in the worst of cases, people are full of debt and without a plan on how to escape said trap. Everything is connected, we just have to look for the signs that are leaving us with the naked eye, as for example we have never had in history countries so indebted based on their GDP or gross domestic product and that this same debt was financed with a deficit, For people who have studied or lived the situations of hyperinflationary countries like Venezuela, Argentina, Turkey, Lebanon, you will know what I am talking about, it is simpler than it sounds, no country can spend more than it produces without any consequences, someone has to pay the price, in this case the population through the dark hand of inflation.  We have reached the point where governments blatantly lie to us with inflation data that does not include food, rent and energy prices, to save appearances and maintain the psychological operation that everything is fine, but when you go to the supermarket you know that something was never there. Well, it is not surprising that even you, the person reading this, know that inevitably your Dollars, Euros or Pesos will not buy you the same thing in a year as what they buy you today.  So where are we headed? It is normal then that people are not very enthusiastic about the future, since when we look into the depths of our system we realize that people's savings and purchasing power will increasingly be devalued so that everything continues to function as it has until now. Today, it is noticeable that something in people's subconscious warns them that tomorrow will be worse and that is why they have to enjoy the now, reducing their time preference to sporadic moments without thinking about the long term, even if they do not understand complex mechanisms. economics, it is observed that people are increasingly working more for less remuneration since the numbers of a salary can increase nominally but they buy fewer and fewer goods and services, as we can see in this graph.  What we have left in the coming years is the acceleration of government mechanisms to be able to continue keeping the wealth extraction system functioning, trying to extend the psychological operation to a point of no return, it is clear that a form of money has been confiscated from us. . that allowed us savings like gold did, I think it is important that we begin to question certain things and choose not to continue participating in a system that is arranged to destroy the energy of our work.  What can we do? Alternatives such as Bitcoin and gold to protect the energy of our work are some of the best options that we can implement as a refuge from the disaster to which our politicians have dragged us. Using these alternatives as a kind of battery for our energy is the only way we can ensure that the effort we make every day in our jobs, ventures or companies is not devalued, since both gold and bitcoin are not debt. of anyone, they are reserves of value and have no risk of reverse departure or non-payment. It is time to take action and educate ourselves to be able to rise to the challenges of the paradigm shift that we will have as a civilization, since a change in the monetary standard is what can lead us to a better path of incentives where people can change preferences. temporary and build for the future. originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/604619

Back then, I was still living in a house in Höpfigheim. The house bordered directly on nature, a nature reserve, and I loved going out into nature there. I regularly took photos in this area. That's how this photo came about on that day in April 2011. The photo was taken in Höpfigheim, a town in the Ludwigsburg district of Baden-Württemberg, Germany.  ### **Photo Information** * **Author:** Ruben Storm * **Date Taken:** April 22, 2011 * **Published:** June 19, 2012 * **Camera:** Nikon D3100 * **Lens:** Not specified * **Location:** Höpfigheim, Germany ### **Links:** * [Photo on Flickr](https://flic.kr/p/cgYqnu) * [My Flickr Profile](http://bit.ly/rst-flickr)

 ก่อนจะเปิดหลุมกระต่าย ให้เพื่อนๆลงไปสู่ ทุ่งม่วง wonderland เรามาเบิกเนตรระบบที่ทำให้เราเป็นสินค้าแทนที่จะเป็นลูกค้ากันก่อนครับ อินเตอร์เนทเริ่มต้นด้วยอุดมการณ์ที่ดี ที่จะให้ข้อมูลข่าวสารมันฉับไว ซึ่งมันก็เป็นเช่นนั้นจริงๆ แต่โลกมันมีสิ่งนึงที่เกิดขึ้นอยู่เสมอ นั้นคือ การชิงทรัพยากร ดินแดน เวลา และการควบคุมคนให้อยู่ในอาณัติ อินเตอร์เนทเริ่มถูกยึดดินแดนมาตั้งแต่การเริ่มมีการสื่อสาร 2 ทางที่โต้ตอบกันได้เร็วขึ้น เจ้า www (World Wide Web) มันกลายเป็นดินแดนของไม่กี่บริษัท ที่เป็นผู้ยิ่งใหญ่ในโลก ดอทคอม สร้างกิจกรรมบางอย่างแล้วให้คนทั้งโลกเข้ามาใช้งาน จะเห็นว่าทุกวันนี้เราแทบไม่พ้นการเข้าไปดู เฟสบุค ยูทูป ทวิตเตอร์ ไอจี ชอปปี้ ลาซาด้า และอื่นๆที่เหมือนจะมากมายแต่ไม่ได้มากมายเมื่อเทียบประชากรโลก บางคนบอกว่ามันก็ดีไม่ใช่เหรอ เราได้ใช้ฟรีๆ ตรงนี้ละครับ เราจะเข้าเรื่องกันแล้ว คำที่เราหลงไปกับมันคือ เขาทำมาให้เราใช้ฟรีๆ เขาต้องเห็นเราเป็นลูกค้าสิ แต่ความจริงนั้น เราคือสินค้าครับ เขาฟาร์มเราไว้เป็นสินค้า เป็นหมูในแฮปปี้ฟาร์ม ยิ่งประชากรในฟาร์มมีมาก เขาก็จะมีมูลค่าสูงมาก ดังเช่นที่เราเห็นว่า มีการบ่นมากมายเรื่องการกดการมองเห็น การที่มีแต่โพสพนัน หลอกขายของที่เป็นสปอนเซอร์ การที่เราลงรูปไก่ต้มแล้วโดนแบนเพราะเขามองว่าทรมานสัตว์ และอื่นๆอีกมากมายที่ทำให้รู้สึกว่า ทำไมเขาดูแลผู้ใช้งานไม่ดีเลย เราเป็นลูกค้าเขานะ ถ้ามองในอีกมุมนึง จริงๆเขาดูแลลูกค้าดีแล้วครับ ลูกค้าของเขาคือคนซื้อโฆษณาต่างหาก ใครที่จ่ายมาก ก็เอาสินค้าเค้ามายัดเยียดให้ประชากรในฟาร์ม ได้ดูกันตาแตก หมูในฟาร์มคนไหนออกนอกลู่นอกทางก็จะเชือดทิ้ง นี่ละครับที่บอกว่าเราคือสินค้าต่างหาก กลุ่มคนที่ต้องการอิสระเสรี จึงสร้างสิ่งใหม่ขึ้นมา ไม่ใช่แค่ทำแอพ ไม่ใช่ทำแค่เว็บ เพราะมันยังต้องพึ่งพาเอกชนในการเอาข้อมูลไปฝากไว้ในเครือข่าย แต่สิ่งใหม่นี้มันเป็นระบบการส่งข้อมูลแบบใหม่ครับ ให้เห็นภาพยิ่งขึ้น เราบอกไปแล้วว่าดินแดนอินเตอร์เนท มันอยู่ในกำมือคนที่เป็น land lord ไม่กี่คน และทุกอย่างเราต้องอยู่ใต้อาณัติเขา ตั้งแต่การได้เห็นแค่ข้อมูลเขาก็เลือกให้ จนถึงว่าถ้าเขาสงสัยว่าเราไม่ใช่เราตัวจริง เขาสามารถลบเราไปโดยไม่ต้องถามอะไร ชีวิต7ปี 10ปี ที่ผ่านมาในแอพมันสามารถเหลือ 0โพสได้ในพริบตาและไม่ให้อุธรณ์ใดๆ นั่นเพราะข้อมูลทุกอย่างมันไปอยู่ในเครื่องคอมของแต่ละบริษัท ทั้งยูทูป เฟสบุค ไอจี ของๆเรา เราเอาไปอัพไว้ในคอมเขา ต้องทำตามกฎที่เขาตั้งและเปลี่ยนใจได้ทุกเมื่อ และแอบมองของๆเราได้ทุกรูปทุกข้อความลับ ทุกอย่าง ย้ำว่าทุกอย่าง ต้องผ่านคอมของเขาทั้งหมด เราไม่มีอะไรเป็นของเราเลย ในฟาร์มนี้ เราแค่รอโดนเชือดและเราไม่กล้าออกมาเพราะคิดว่าเป็น safe zone ส่วนระบบการส่งข้อมูลแบบใหม่ เราเรียกว่า nostr อ่านว่า นอสเตอร์ ชื่อเต็มมันยาว แต่ถ้ารู้ จะเข้าใจง่ายขึ้น เพราะมันมาจากคำว่า Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays แปลว่า ”อะไรก็ตามที่เอามาส่งผ่านรีเลย์“ ผมขอเรียกมันว่าส่งไม้ต่อละกันครับ มองภาพการวิ่ง 4x100 มันมีการส่งไม้ผลัดใช่ไหมครับ นั่นละ รีเลย์  ระบบเก่าเราเรียกว่า การรวมศูนย์ นั่นคือเอะอะก็ต้องไปเก็บหรือไปดู จากคอมบริษัทนั้นๆ เช่น ดูคลิปก็ต้องไปโหลดจากคอมของยูทูป จะดูฟีดเพื่อนก็ต้องไปโหลดข้อความที่เพื่อนฝากไว้ในคอมของเฟสบุค ถ้าวันนึง เฟสบุคล่ม นั่นคือทุกคนติดต่อหรือดูอะไรไม่ได้เลย และถ้ากู่ไม่กลับ นั้นคือทุกอย่างหายหมด นอกจากนี้ผู้คุมศูนย์คือสั่งชี้เป็นชี้ตายคุณได้ทันที ที่ไม่พอใจคุณ บ้านเขากฎเขา นั้นเอง  ในขณะที่ nostr เป็นระบบส่งไม้ผลัด นั่นคือ ใครๆก็สามารถเป็น รีเลย์ได้ แค่มีคอมก็เรียบร้อย วิธีการเป็นรีเลย์ เรายังไม่ต้องสนใจครับ เราเป็นแค่ผู้ใช้ ไม่ต้องเป็นผู้ให้บริการก็ได้ ฟรีด้วย วันนี้เราแค่มาเข้าใจเส้นทางก่อนครับ อย่างที่บอกครับ ระบบการส่งข้อมูลเราเป็นรีเลย์ หรือ ไม้ผลัด หลักการก็แค่เราก็แค่ใส่ที่อยู่รีเลย์ ลงไปในแอพของเรา แล้วข้อมูลที่เราส่งไป เจ้ารีเลย์มันก็จะวิ่งส่งไม้ผลัดนี้ไปให้สมาชิกทุกคนในรีเลย์ ในทางกลับกัน เราก็จะได้รับข้อมูลที่สมาชิกในสังกัดรีเลย์ที่เราลงไว้ ส่งมาให้ผ่านทางรีเลย์ด้วยเช่นกัน และที่เจ๋งก็คือ รีเลย์ ไม่สนใจอะไรอย่างอื่นอีก นอกเหนือแค่ส่งไม้ผลัดให้สมาชิกทุกคน นั่นคือ มันไม่คิดว่าอะไรควรส่งไม่ควรส่ง มันไม่คิดว่าข้อมูลดีแค่ไหน มันไม่ปิดกั้น มันไม่เซนเซอร์ นั่นคือ มีหน้าที่แค่ส่งจริงๆ นอกจากนี้ถ้าเราเป็นใส่รีเลย์มากกว่า 1 แห่งในตัวเรา ข้อมูลทั้งหมดก็จะสำเนาไปยังรีเลย์ที่เหลือได้เช่นกัน หมายถึงว่า ข้อมูลเราจะกระจายแบบสำเนาไปได้อีกหลายๆๆๆๆรีเลย์ นอกจากอิสระแล้วยังฆ่าไม่ตายด้วย เพราะรีเลย์มีขึ้นเป็นดอกเห็ด และใครๆทำรีเลย์มาเปิดให้บริการได้เอง (เราเป็นแค่ผู้ใช้ ไม่ได้อยากเป็นผู้ให้บริการ เราไม่ต้องสร้างรีเลย์ก็สามารถใช้งาน nostr ได้ครับ) ดังนั้น nostr จึงเหมาะกับคนที่ต้องการเสรีภาพแบบเต็มๆ เพราะไม่มีใครเซนเซอร์คุณได้เลย คุณเท่านั้นที่จะต้องรับผิดชอบการกระทำของคุณเอง เพราะด้วยที่มันฆ่าไม่ตาย นั่นหมายถึง สิ่งที่คุณพิมพ์หรือโพสลงไป จะไม่สามารถลบหรือแก้ไขได้เช่นกัน แม้แต่ตัวคุณเองก็ตาม ดังนั้นไต่ตรองให้ดีถ้าจะสร้างเนื้อหา เพราะมันจะบันทึกสิ่งที่คุณทำไว้ตลอดไป แต่ถ้าเรายังไม่มั่นใจเราลองเล่นแบบเป็นคนอ่านก่อนก็ได้ครับ พอเราใช้คล่องขึ้น มีสติสัมปชัญญะเพียงพอ ก็เริ่มทักทายคนในนั้นได้ มันไม่น่ากลัวหรอกครับ เพราะหัวใจหล้กของ nostr คือการเข้าสังคม สร้างสังคมคุณภาพ มากกว่าการโพสเท่ๆเอาไลค์ เพราะ มันไม่มีอัลกอลิทึ่มใดๆ เขายึดมั่นใน proof of work ไลฟ์ของเราจะไม่โดนปิดกั้น โพสของเราจะไม่โดนลดการมองเห็น ถ้ามันมีคุณภาพเพียงพอที่คนจะเลือกติดตามชม ถ้ามองเห็นกลลวงของโซเชียลแล้ว ตอนหน้า จะรวบรัด ลงหลุมกระต่ายกันเลย เอาแบบโหลดแล้วเล่นก่อน แล้วเรียนไปพร้อมๆกับเล่นนี่แหละ ถ้าทุกคนเริ่มวันนี้ อิสระก็จะเริ่มยิ่งใหญ่วันนี้ แล้วก็จะไม่มีคำว่า คนมันยังน้อยอยู่ เคยดูหนังไหมครับ เช่นตอนเปิดแผ่นดินใหม่ ใครขี่ม้าไปปักธงจองอาณาเขตได้ก่อน ก็จะคุ้นชินพื้นที่นั้นๆได้ก่อนใครครับ #pirateketo #กูต้องรู้มั๊ย #Siamstr

Woke up at the crack of dawn today in my dorm, just past 5 am, to a flurry of activity. The two guests who checked in yesterday were already checking out, including the Chinese woman who'd been here for almost two weeks. With the room suddenly quiet, I grabbed my phone to check my account – hoping to see the tokens I'd transferred the previous day. But to my surprise, they were nowhere to be found.  This unexpected early check-out (most hostels allow check-in after 2 pm) left me with a private room for a brief moment, a small perk amidst the confusion. But back to the real issue – my missing Blurt tokens. Yesterday, I wrote a Hive Engine tutorial on transferring Blurt to your Blurt account. However, when I tried it myself, my 705 Blurt vanished into thin air. Completely baffled, I spent my morning researching after breakfast. While I knew transfers take time, I didn't expect it to take all night, let alone be missing by 10 am. As a result, the Hive Engine tutorial will have to wait. I need to get to the bottom of this missing transfer before finalizing it. With no set plans for today and a foot still causing trouble, my biggest hope is for a speedy recovery on both fronts – my foot and the missing Blurt! After hitting publish on this post, I'll be diving back in to figure out how to spend this unplanned day. Here's to hoping for a swift resolution and a chance to explore soon (on a pain-free foot, of course)! (Image: Screenshot of Hive Engine transfer)

**I'm reposting this in order to fix the images and get it correctly onto my npub.pro site** What is this ?  _My Futurebit Apollo Miner in action_ Futurebit is a company that manufactures home miners for retail users (see futurebit.io) - you can check out details on their website. These are targeted at individuals that want to participate in mining with an easy to use, quiet miner that does not use a ton of electricity. The idea here is to try and stay true to the original bitcoin concept of a computer which runs the bitcoin software and mines bitcoin, all in one. While mining has obviously evolved into a commercial industry and the mining process has long been separated from running a bitcoin node, I think there are still some valid reasons to want to participate in the mining process and attempt to keep this original ethos alive: 1. You learn a lot about bitcoin from mining. Reading about the process is one thing, but actually getting a machine running, pointing it towards the pool of your choice, and seeing the bitcoin process from this perspective is something I've found very enjoyable (mining is probably my favorite part of bitcoin, if I had to choose one). It can also be a gateway drug to more advanced mining, so...heavy care. 2. It is marginally valuable to the network. Sure, one person running a futurebit miner is nothing compared to the hashrate of MARA. But, if you have tens of thousands of plebs all running their own miners from home, pointing their hashpower to the pool of their choice, it does provide a legitimate decentralizing anchor to large mining actors. Every pleb should be participating in mining, in my opinion, and the Futurebit Apollo miner offers a casual and unobtrusive avenue to do just that. Now, the Futurebit Apollo Miner you most commonly see is the 'Full Package.' The Full Package is an Orange Pi computer running on a custom linux distribution. You basically boot it up, and it starts running bitcoin core and mining in a few clicks. That is very cool, and I did own one. However, I will say that the Full Package is, unfortunately, not a great product. I won't go into too much detail, but its a very poor quality computer, the security upkeep of the custom linux distribution is lacking, and I found connecting to the node to use with wallets to be very difficult. The mining was also consistently inturrupted due to the pi freezing up. You are better off going with a different option for running a bitcoin node. This is simply to say, I dislike the Full Package Futurebit Apollo Unit. With that said, I very much like the 'Standard Unit'. The Standard Unit is simply a mining hashboard without the computer OS that comes with the Full Package. I've been running two Standard Units in my house for 18 months now and they just quietly hum along in my house, I barely notice them and they rarely need to be restarted (honestly I can't think of more than 3 times that I needed to troubleshoot and even then it was typically restarting the miner). They are a great way to make your personal contribution to the security of the bitcoin network. (Please Note: These things are pretty pricey brand new, so don't even think about buying one as being a profitable choice. You can sometimes find decent deals for them used, but buyer beware I can't speak to that experience. This is about hands-on learning about bitcoin mining and participating in the security of the network with a machine that won't drive your family crazy and that I believe is well-built enough to last you a long time. Heck, you could even set one up at your office and I doubt anyone would notice and mine with free electricity.) So, that's some background. Now, a standard unit is not the most friendly user experience if you are not used to using command line. I wasn't, but I spent a lot of time figuring it out. With this guide, any user should be able to get a Standard Unit hashing :) Here is the step by step process guide on how to run a standard unit, in use with both a Windows OS computer and a Linux OS computer (Ubuntu is what I use)...enjoy. **I. Linux** Your Futurebit Apollo Standard Unit (referred to from here as 'the Unit') miner comes with a power supply and a usb cable. It's pretty straight forward, but you will want to connect the Unit to the computer of your choice (the computer needs to be on and running while you are mining, so a low power consumption computer and/or a computer that you are already running all the time for some other reason would be best). Also, plug in the power supply to your unit and turn it on (there are instructions in the Unit's manual for how to hook up the power supply correctly). 1. Go to https://github.com/jstefanop/Apollo-Miner-Binaries 2. You'll land on a page that looks like this:  For the purposes of this guide, I am going to be using the 'linux-x86_64' package as it is most appropriate for my computer. But, you would need to select the appropriate binaries for your computer. Odds are, if you are running ubuntu on your laptop or desktop, you are going to use the 'linux-x86_64' package. 3. Once you have clicked on the linux-x86_64 folder, you will land here:  Open each of these 4 files and download them using the 'Download Raw File' link in each file's page. Here is an example:  Once you have downloaded, I'd recommend making a folder and putting all 4 of the files into that folder. I am going to make a folder with the name 'Mining Files'. I am also going to move the folder out of my Downloads folder (not necessary, but I'd recommend as it's not a great place to park a folder you want to hold onto). I am going to move it to my Documents Folder:  4. Now, if you do not have a mining pool account, you will need to make one, otherwise you should be able to use your pool credentials in the next step. Alternatively, you can solo mine using solo.ckpool.org with only a btc address. However, for the purposes of this guide I am going to assume that you are using Braiins pool. If necessary, go ahead and make a login at braiins.com/pool. Note the username and password as we will need that later. 5. From the files that you downloaded in step 3, we are going to double-click on 'start_apollo.sh' and open it up in Text Editor. The first 60 lines or so are explanations on how to prepare this script for your use. However, I am going to run you through all the options to update, so you shouldn't need to read the description. Instead, we are going to focus on the text in black font at the bottom of the file:  We need to update the info in the following fields as follows -host = stratum.braiins.com -port = 3333 -user = username for your Braiins login. I'll use "braiinsexample" for now. -pswd = password for your Braiins login. I'll use "Password123" for now. -comport = Most likely "/dev/ttyACM0" or "/dev/ttyACM1" or "/dev/ttyACM2" -brd_ocp = 48 -osc = 30 -ao_mode = 1 So, when our file is set up correctly, it will look like:  Make sure to save, then close out of text editor. 6. Now, start up terminal on your computer. First, we are going to want to get into the correct directory. In our case, our file is in Documents > Mining Files. So, you would input the following command: cd ~/Documents/Mining Files Once you are in the correct directory, we will run the following command: sudo ./start_apollo.sh You will likely be prompted to enter your computer's password, input the password and, if all goes well, you should see a result like this in your terminal:  You are now mining! The setting we use run the Unit ins 'eco mode', which should yield 2 terahash per second in terms of mining power (you can monitor the performance from your respective mining pool dashboard). As long as you keep this terminal window open and the computer on that is connected to the miner, and you will be mining away :) **II. Windows** Your Futurebit Apollo Standard Unit (referred to from here as 'the Unit') miner comes with a power supply and a usb cable. It's pretty straight forward, but you will want to connect the Unit to the computer of your choice (the computer needs to be on and running while you are mining, so a low power consumption computer and/or a computer that you are already running all the time for some other reason would be best). Also, plug in the power supply to your unit and turn it on (there are instructions in the Unit's manual for how to hook up the power supply correctly). 1. Go to https://github.com/jstefanop/Apollo-Miner-Binaries 2. You'll land on a page that looks like this:  For Windows, you will click on the folder titled 'msvc19'. You'll see 2 files to download, go ahead and click on each and click 'Download Raw File' for each. Please Note: Windows may see this file as a virus, so you may need to 'allow on device' in your virus & threat protection of your windows security service.  3. Once you have downloaded each file, I'd recommend making a folder and putting all of the files into that folder. I am going to make a folder with the name 'Mining Files'. I am also going to move the folder out of my Downloads folder (not necessary, but I'd recommend as it's not a great place to park a folder you want to hold onto). I am going to move it to my Documents Folder:  4. Now, if you do not have a mining pool account, you will need to make one, otherwise you should be able to use your pool credentials in the next step. Alternatively, you can solo mine using solo.ckpool.org with only a btc address. However, for the purposes of this guide I am going to assume that you are using Braiins pool. If necessary, go ahead and make a login with at braiins.com/pool. Note the username and password as we will need that later. 5. From the files that you downloaded in step 3, we are going to right click on 'start_apollo' and select 'edit'. The file will open up in notepad. The first 60 lines or so are explanations on how to prepare this script for your use. However, I am going to run you through all the options to update, so you shouldn't need to read the description. Instead, we are going to focus on the text in black font at the bottom of the file:  We need to update the info in the following fields as follows -host = stratum.braiins.com -port = 3333 -user = username for your Braiins login. I'll use "braiinsexample" for now. -pswd = password for your Braiins login. I'll use "Password123" for now. -comport = go to the 'Device Manager' service on your computer, expand the 'Ports' section, and you should find a 'USB serial device' with COM#. Update with your COM# (COM1, COM2, COM3, etc). -brd_ocp = 48 -osc = 30 -ao_mode = 1 So, when our file is set up correctly, it will look like:  6. Now that the file is ready, save the file and exit out of notepad. You should be able to simply double-click on the file. The command prompt services will pop-up on your desktop, and should reflect this, indicating your connection is successful and mining has begun:  You are now mining! The setting we use run the Unit ins 'eco mode', which should yield 2 terahash per second in terms of mining power (you can monitor the performance from your respective mining pool dashboard). As long as you keep this terminal window open and the computer on that is connected to the miner, and you will be mining away :) originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/603076

***I'm reposting this article I wrote some time ago again to fix the images for it on my npub.pro site*** In my previous post, I explained how to use your getalby ln address to receive zaps directly to your LND node. Similarly, there is an additional option that one can utilize to receive zaps directly to your lightning node: lnaddress.com. Lnaddress.com is a federated lightning address server that you can use to create a custom ln address. Unlike using getalby, lnaddress.com can be used with any lightning implementation (not just LND). For the purposes of this write-up, I am going to use LNBits to connect an lnaddress.com lightning address with my node. And as will be the case with most of my write-ups, I am going to be using Start9 OS, so users of that OS will likely find this write-up most useful, but I'm sure people using other node interfaces can infer how to complete this set up as well. With that said, let's dive into the step-by-step on how to create your own custom ln address with lnaddress.com and set it up to receive zaps directly to your lightning node: *Users should have lnbits set up with their lightning node before proceeding. 1. Go to lnaddress.com. Input your desired username, select 'Node Backend Type' = LNBits, and if necessary check the box 'This is a new lightning address'. Keep this page open in one tab as we will be returning to it to input info. 2. From your Start9 OS services page, go to your LNBits service. Open the 'Properties' page, and in a new tab, open the (Tor) Superuser Account. Page will look like this:  From this LNbits page, you can choose to 'add a new wallet' and use that wallet instead of your superuser account. That is up to you but the steps will be the same. 3. Now, we need to grab the info needed for the 'Host Protocol + IP or Domain + Port' field on the lnaddress.com page. On the lnbits page, expand the 'Api Docs' field, and the 'Get Wallet Details' field found on the right hand side menu. In this 'Get Wallet Details' section, you will want to copy some of the URL found in the 'curl example' section. Copy 'http://xxxxxx.onion' (don't copy any more!), and paste this into the 'Host (Protocol + IP or Domain + Port' field found on the lnaddress.com page.  4. Next, we need to grab the key for your lnbits wallet. From the lnbits page, expand the API docs section found on the right hand side menu. Copy the 'Invoice/read key' (make sure to use the invoice/read key and not your Admin key), and paste it into the key field found on the lnaddress.com page. Upon pasting in that last piece of info, click 'submit' at the bottom of the page. 5. If all info was input correctly, your connection will be successful. If successful, you will be brought to a page that looks like this:  You will want to save this secret PIN in case you need to update info in your ln address. You'll also find a test lightning invoice of 1 sat. Using a wallet not connected to the node we connected to our new ln address, you can test the ln address out by paying the 1 sat test invoice. Users of Start9 OS might find the following info particularly useful: This ln address via lnaddress.com comes with a couple advantages aside from self-custodial zap receiving: - One, you can have a custom ln address username to go with your nym or nostr username. Users of Start9 may be familiar with the ln address one can generate in the btcpay server service. This ln address is not customizable. - Two, if you are running a tor only lightning node, you will be able to receive zaps from both tor and clear net lightning nodes. Users of Start9 may be familiar with the ln address one can generate in the btcpay server service. This ln address can only receive zaps from other tor nodes and can't receive zaps from clear net nodes. That is it, you should now be all set up with your new ln address hosted on lnaddress.com, and you should be all ready to receive zaps or lightning payments of any kind :) originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/603061

QUESTION: So I found this shareware game: [game](https://binb.co/) [repo](https://github.com/lpinca/binb?tab=readme-ov-file) I want to turn it into a lightning/nostr game, kind of like that [lntictactoe game](https://stacker.news/items/451880/r/jasonb). I just like the idea of throwing some sats in on a guessing game like that, maybe even just loading them in up front for anybody that wants to play for some free sats. The license looks pretty, "do whatever you want",y to me, but maybe somebody that does this more often might have some more insight. >Copyright (c) 2012-2023 Luigi Pinca > >Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: > >The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software. > >THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.

Curious if the devs on SN have any insights, opinions, or recommendations regarding FP. I've been aware of it for many years, I get the basic concepts but I'm now working on a rewrite of an existing app and another dev and I are considering FP. Its gonna be a Typescript based node application likely using ExpressJS. My college is a huge advocate for FP and really likes [fp-ts](https://github.com/gcanti/fp-ts). originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/602772

Hey everyone, Just wanted to give you a quick update on my travels. Unfortunately, I haven't been doing much exploring lately. I had a bit of an accident a few days ago while crossing the street in the dark. Since then, I've been mostly relaxing at the hostel, trying to keep my foot off it as much as possible. My daily routine has been pretty simple: wake up, shower, clean the wounds, grab breakfast, and then catch up on some work on my laptop. Not exactly the adventure I was hoping for, but hopefully it'll give my foot the rest it needs to heal quickly.  Speaking of the accident, let's just say it was a good reminder about the importance of being prepared, especially when traveling in Africa. Here, reliable access to electricity and Wi-Fi isn't always a guarantee. Luckily, the hostel I'm staying at has both, which is a real plus. However, frequent power outages are common, and having a flashlight is a lifesaver – literally! In my case, the power was out when I tried to cross the street. Because I couldn't see a thing, I decided to walk to a crosswalk for better visibility. Big mistake. There was a curb at the crosswalk that I completely missed in the darkness. Tripped, fell, and ended up hurting my foot, knee, and hands.  Thankfully, the damage wasn't too severe. My knee and hands just had some minor scrapes, but my toes took the brunt of the fall. The hostel, unfortunately, didn't have a first-aid kit, but a kind fellow traveler from Egypt came to the rescue with some antiseptic fluid. Huge thanks to him for that! Since the accident, I've been keeping the wounds open to the air, but today I noticed some signs of infection. So, I ventured out to a larger pharmacy to pick up some supplies and some disinfectant spray. Hopefully, this will help clear things up. On a brighter note, the hostel has a fantastic rooftop bar and restaurant with Wi-Fi, which has become my hangout spot for the past few days. The view isn't too bad either! **Lesson Learned:** Always take your flashlight out of your bag when it's dark outside, no matter how confident you feel. A little extra caution can go a long way in preventing accidents. From now on, my flashlight is coming out of my bag at dusk – no exceptions!  In the picture, you'll see my temporary workspace. I've spared you the close-up of my toes – trust me, it's not pretty! Thanks for reading everyone, and have a great day! ### Online [Profile Page](https://rubenstorm.de.cool/) | [Support Page](https://rubenstorm.12hp.de/)

## Chef's notes Sprinkle a pinch of salt in a bowl. Sift 275 grams of flour above it. Make a well in the center of the flour and sprinkle the yeast into it. Add 50 grams of butter, 25 grams of sugar, and the egg. Pour in the milk and knead the dough with the mixer or by hand into a smooth dough. If necessary, add a bit more flour if the dough is too sticky. Form the dough into a ball. Let the dough rise covered with cling film at room temperature for 1 hour. Peel the apples. Cut the apples and apricots into pieces. Cook the fruit with 150 grams of sugar and 50 ml of water in 15 minutes into a thick compote. Let this fruit filling cool. Knead the dough again briefly and roll it out to a round sheet of about 28-30 cm in diameter, so that it fits well over the baking tin. Press the dough into the tin and press it well into the corners. Let the dough rise again for 10 minutes and cut off the excess edges. Spread the fruit filling over the dough. Mix the rest of the flour with the remaining 100 grams of butter and 100 grams of sugar and knead it with your fingers into a crumbly mixture. Sprinkle this crumble mixture over the fruit filling. Bake the tart in the preheated oven at 200°C for about 30 minutes until golden brown. Variations: Only apple? Make this tart with 1 kilo of apples. High or low? You can also bake the crumble tart in a low tart tin of 30 cm diameter. If the fruit filling is a bit too voluminous, you can make double the crumble mixture and sprinkle it over the larger surface area. Additional needs: Mixer with dough hooks or food processor Cling film Round baking tin with a diameter of 28-30 cm, greased ## Details - ⏲️ Prep time: 45 min + 1 hour Rising - 🍳 Cook time: 30 minutes - 🍽️ Servings: 8 ## Ingredients - 375 grams flour - 1 packet dried yeast (7 grams) - 125 grams unsalted butter, at room temperature - 275 grams sugar - 1 egg - 100 ml milk, at room temperature - 500 grams apples - 500 grams apricots (fresh or from a can) ## Directions 1. Sprinkle a pinch of salt in a bowl. Sift 275 grams of flour above it. Make a well in the center of the flour and sprinkle the yeast into it. Add 50 grams of butter, 25 grams of sugar, and the egg. Pour in the milk and knead the dough with the mixer or by hand into a smooth dough. If necessary, add a bit more flour if the dough is too sticky. Form the dough into a ball.

Cook the fruit with 150 grams of sugar and 50 ml of water in 15 minutes into a thick compote. Let this fruit filling cool. 3. Knead the dough again briefly and roll it out to a round sheet of about 28-30 cm in diameter, so that it fits well over the baking tin. Press the dough into the tin and press it well into the corners. Let the dough rise again for 10 minutes and cut off the excess edges. 4. Spread the fruit filling over the dough.

*Yesterday's edition https://stacker.news/items/599828/r/Undisciplined* I had no idea SN was already discussing higher posting/comment fees two years ago. For the newer folks, it used to just be 1 sat to post anything. * * - ### July 8, 2023 📅 ---- ### 📝 `TOP POST` **[Anita Posch Has Good News About Africa](https://stacker.news/items/206079/r/Undisciplined)** #### Excerpt > It’s amazing to see how the Bitcoin adoption has been growing in African countries. There was only one initiative I knew of in 2020, when I visited Zimbabwe and Botswana. That was the Satoshicentre in Gaborone founded by Alakanani Itireleng. Together we organized a meetup at the university, where I held a Bitcoin talk.

## Chef's notes More information about its origins: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soda_bread ## Details - ⏲️ Prep time: 10 min - 🍳 Cook time: 45 min - 🍽️ Servings: 4-8 ## Ingredients - 500 gr whole grain flour - 450 ml butter milk - 10 gr (sea)salt - 15 gr baking soda (not US's "baking powder") (also known as sodium bicarbonate) - a bit of butter or olive oil ## Directions 1. Pre-heat the oven to 220°C 2. Put all flour in a bowl with baking soda and salt. Mix it well. 3. Create a hole in the middle and pour all butter milk in the center. 4. Stir it from the centre and slowly mixing all together until you get a dough. 5. When mixed, the dough is sticky. Use all purpose flour on counter and bulge to the same size as your skillet. 6. Use a bit of butter or olive oil to wet the skillet to prevent sticky bread. And put the dough in your skillet. 7. Add a but of flour on top of the dough and then cut lightly a X. 8. Bake for ±45 min on 220°C until done (inside temperature must be at least 95°C). Turn up the heat for the last 5 min to get a crust. 9. Let the bread cool down a bit before taking it out the skillet, and let it cool down even more before eating. 10. Donate some sats to me if you like this recipe.

# Sovereign Souls *These little entities:* Feet patter freely, knees against me. *Excitment seeking entities:* Eyes in constant scan for fuscia flowers, limbs in constant contact with ground. *Can't be corraled kind of entities:* In a beat, in a flash, once here now there, static fist clenching things undesirable.  # Engaging Enclosures  Mind racing, I seek solace in their corraling. Bags of water balloons are enthralling. As the balloons fill, they linger. Bouncing trying to plunge in a finger.  # Playground Pioneers  An exchange of glances with my wife and we're off. Little boy on my shoulders seeking a high colored prism. Little girl through tunnels offering a hand in altruism.

Five little heads brush past me in the foyer as I enter the house. I get a “Hey Daddio,” and “Love you Dad,” then a punch in the thigh, “‘sup dad,” from my two girls and little boy. The neighbor's two girls are polite only in that they say their hellos but no one stops to give me the time of day. I hold the door open for the little band of miscreants and watch them make their way to the front yard. “Let’s play tag,” says my eldest as she stretches her hands out high above her head. I turn and notice my wife smiling at me, leaning against the kitchen island. “No, you always hide in the woods,” says one of the neighbors. I kiss my wife on the forehead, tell her I love her, and say, “I’ve got dinner tonight. You had a tough day.” “Nuh-uh. I won’t. That phantom man is in there.” I wince and look at Jasmine to see if she had heard that. She did and says, “I didn’t want to believe it but I’ve heard them talk about it a few times already so I asked Tanner if he and Andrea had heard the kids talking about the man in the forest. They’re worried about it.” “Have you seen anything strange?” I ask. Jasmine steps up to the floor to ceiling window in the breakfast nook and peers at the forest across the cul de sac. She purses her lips and shakes her head, “No. You?” I say, “Nope,” as I pull out the ingredients I’ll be using for dinner tonight. “We’ve taught the kids well. They know not to go near strangers. I’ll see if I can maneuver the camera to keep an eye on the woodline. Yeah?” “Yes, that sounds good,” says Jasmine, relaxing and settling into one of the breakfast nook table chairs. “I didn’t get the Letterman account.” I take out the chicken from the refrigerator and say, “I figured as much from the way you sounded on the phone. Look, all is not lost. You just need to get a hold of someone who knows him well.” Jasmine crosses her arms and peers out at the kids outside, “I don’t know. I might have to take this one as a loss.” “No! You can’t give up,” I try to get her spirits up by reaching for a bottle of wine from the rack above the refrigerator. She smiles when I pour her a glass and puts a hand on mine to hold me for a while after I leave the glass in front of her. “You’re still in control. You can figure this out.” “Sometimes things are just out of our control David.” I stare back slack jawed, “Things are always in our control Jasmine. We didn’t get this far in life by pretending everything was predestined.” I laugh as I grip a handful air and say, “I’ve got life by the balls baby. Always have. That’s why we have such a splendid house, such a nice life.” “Don’t give yourself all the credit, big guy.” I turn back to the chicken with a smile and start preparing dinner. “Hey Google, play Tennessee Whiskey by Chris Stapleton.” An upbeat voice from the little circular speaker on the kitchen island replies, “Sure, Tennessee Whiskey by Chris Stapleton.” Chris Stapleton’s classic four strums of the guitar echo out of the speaker and I dance as I marinate the chicken. I love the sound of the children enjoying themselves outside going along to the music; love the feeling of the chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper grind between my fingertips as I rub it into the chicken. The oil heats in the pan releasing a little wisp of smoke. The chicken sizzles in the pan and releases a hearty aroma. When I rise from the pan, I notice Jasmine is standing at the window again, cup of wine in hand. Twilight is settling in but the street lights haven’t kicked on yet. Jasmine is strangely close to the window, I figure she’s enjoying the sight of the kids as their shadows zip past in front of her like specters in the night. “David. I see something in the woodline.” I shoot to her side and peer out the window along with her. The kids' shadows stalk in the night but I can’t make out anything across the cul de sac. “I don’t see anything.” Jasmine plants a finger in the windowpane, “Right there. There, it's definitely someone out there. There’s a neighborhood on the other side of that treeline isn’t there?” I strain to catch a glimpse at what she’s looking at and say, “I don't see anything. I, uh, I think there’s a neighborhood back there yeah.”  The street lights kick on. A man stands just out of reach of the street light on the far end of the cul de sac. “Holy fuck,” I say under my breath. “Kids, come inside please!” shouts Jasmine. “Aww c’mon mom. Just a bit longer,” calls out my son. “Zach, get inside like your mother told you,” I growl and take my gaze away from the man for a second to sneer at my boy through the window. By the time I look back the man’s gone. “Where’d he go?” Jasmine’s eyebrows raised, “He uh, just kind of vanished. Looks like he was never really there. Look,” She points at a tree shaped strangely enough like a man. “Maybe it was just that tree we were looking at.” I didn’t take any chances. I tell the kids to come in and I maneuver the security cameras to get a good vantage of the place where the man had vanished. The next morning I help the kids get ready for school and personally walk them to their bus stop. Still no man in the woods. Shortly after I return to the house I kiss my wife goodbye and wish her good luck at work. Just as she pulls out of the cul de sac, as I am walking to my truck, I notice a figure in my peripheral vision but I don’t turn knowing I might scare him away. I halfway sit in my truck and shift the rearview mirror to where I’d seen him. There he is. The man stands several feet inside the forest. Greenery conceals him up to his torso and I can barely see his face in the shadows of the forest, but his figure is clear. I consider calling the police, no, they won’t make it in time. I take a deep breath, count down from three, and burst out of my car into a sprint toward the man in the woods. The man doesn’t move an inch as I approach but somehow it seems as if the forest deepens around him. As I get closer his relative position from me grows further, but the man doesn’t take a step. It's as if the world around the man grows further and further out of focus the closer and closer I get. I hear the leaves crushing beneath my footfalls and I look back for a second feeling as if I’d been running on a treadmill for the past few seconds. My house is barely visible through the foliage. I whipped my attention back at the man but he’s gone and I grind to a halt. I scrutinize the woods, the man has vanished. My breaths slow, nearly holding my breath I listen intently for the sound of crushing leaves. The crunching leaves come from behind me at an alarming pace. Whatever is approaching is running fast. I turn, ready for someone to tackle me, but there is no one there, the footfalls go silent. I curse under my breath and peer back at my house. It's hard to make out now that I’m so deep in the woods, but it looks like the neighbor’s kids are out in front of my house. I shake my head and look down at my watch wondering how much time I’d wasted chasing the phantom man. I wince at the readout on my watch, five pm. Maybe I hit one of the program buttons while I was sprinting into the woods? There’s a whisper in the wind, “Must of hit..” I turn to the whispers. Another whisper behind me, “One of the program buttons.” I turn. I feel light in my own skin. There’s nothing behind me, no one around me, but I continue to hear the voice whispering. “Five PM. Five?” I’m literally beside myself. I know it's my own voice I’m hearing but I’m not sure if it's my thoughts or an illusion, just the wind blowing. Maybe it’s the shifting tree branches and my paranoia. The sun is bright, blinding. Suddenly, I’m seconds behind myself. I saw my hand shifting in the sunlight. Perhaps it was the fatigue from a sleepless night having been worried about the phantom man lurking in the forest outside my house. The disconnect in time was jarring as every movement jolted like a violent tectonic shift in my head. I felt like a witness to my own reality as it had just happened. I looked around and a sound off in the woods drew me deeper. The deeper I went, the dimmer the sunlight became. I ran faster and faster in chase of the sounds with the hopes I’d at least catch another glimpse of the phantom man. Then, my foot caught a taproot and I slammed into rich dirt, but my descent did not stop. The dirt splashed about me as if I’d fallen in a lake of darkness. The grains of dirt filled my lungs in my panic. A squirrel watched me trip and if only the gentle creature understood the mechanics of the universe he would’ve known where I had disappeared to. Unlike the squirrel, the tree on top whose branch it sat did not have the sense of sight to have seen me fall but it did encounter a minty sensation when it absorbed the nutrients of my being. I hadn’t granted the beings of its kind the sense of emotion, but somehow it still knew the sensation was good. It exhaled the vapors of me and enriched the atmosphere for the humans of that world. These little kinds of discoveries excited me. A design had led to an outcome I hadn’t thought possible and I saw that it was good. The cosmic specs continued their spread before me and it suddenly occurred to me I hadn’t paid much attention to the adjacent place. There it was still only nothingness, phantom echoes of my self reflection. All was good, but was it best? I’ve created many things, breathed life into endless inanimate things yet most of my existing universe still lingers motionless, pushed only by the initial momentum of the beginning. The life that has existed has worshiped me, prayed to me, cursed me, forgotten me and found me, but is it best? Perhaps I’ll never know until I compare it with another. So it is. From my word bubbled a new momentum from unfathomable depths. All possibilities confounded and reverberated and again there was an atmosphere charged with my essence, what would these new humans do with it? The tree inhaled my essence and it was good. The squirrel watched a man disappear into the earth and it was good. Grains of dirt filled my lungs and dispersed from my nose and it was good. I was spat out from the depths of the universe and on my feet I chased the phantom man in the direction of my home. The sun had receded into the horizon and time had regressed to a moment. Beyond the foliage I see my children play with the neighbors. Their laughter is alarmingly delicious to my ears as if I hadn’t heard that sweet sound in an unfathomable expanse of time. There I am in the window, looking this way. Then suddenly, the street light kicks on. “Holy fuck,” says David under his breath. I shout, “Kids, come inside please!”

If you were financially set, right here, right now, what is it that you would start doing? If you could do whatever it is your heart has always desired, what would you do? And I want you to dare to think big, because the fiat world confines us to thinking safe and small, but as stackers we must start thinking freaking big and strive towards it and refuse to settle for less. I'll start: - I will build my own soccer club, and it will be providing immense value to my local community by bringing people together, and by being a space where everyone can learn about soccer, about optimizing health, and of course about Bitcoin. - I will be doing some sort of philanthropic work, not sure in what way but in some meaningful way. - I will be happily married to my partner and we will be building our life together, seeing more of the world, experiencing more of what this beautiful world has to offer. - I will help pay off my friend's debt and support him in his goal to become healthier. - I will continue to strive towards becoming the best athlete and nerd I can become. - I will open up my own gym combined with a soccer field. - I will donate to my friend's business that he is in the process of building as without him I would not be the athlete and person I am today. - I will pay for whatever it is my parents desire, all of it. - I will pay for whatever it is my love desires and more. Just a few things that I will do when I am financially free. Don't let your fiat mind hold you back, think big, be brave and be bold! You have obtained financial freedom. It is done. So what amazing things are you going to do with this freedom? originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/600417

Nikolai Kardashev proposed a categorization of hypothetical alien societies based on how much energy they could use in their technology. > Types of civilization: > Type 1: harness 100% of the energy available on the planet. > Type 2: harness the power of their entire star. Did you know that humanity is not even on the Kardashev scale yet, here in 2024! It's crazy to think that all our collective advancements haven't resulted in global peace, unity, or collective efforts to get along. All that energy has been wasted on petty feuds, pointless arguments, and evil hatred. We would be much further ahead if we had collective incentives that were aligned to be honest and true. Even if we weren't honest and true, the tools in place could make it intuitive and trivial to verify the deception. This would lead dishonest individuals to be outcasted in society and be punished for it automatically. Kinda sounds familiar...hmmmm... Taking advantage of all the energy available to us on earth requires the usage of different forms of fuel and different modes of transporting that energy. The energy will have to be stored efficiently and transported effortlessly. Enter bitcoin and humanity’s big leap into a Kardashev Type 1 society. Bitcoin helps us achieve a Type 1 level society and helps us take a big leap towards advancing into a Type 2 level society. Bitcoin is trivially easy to verify if it's a valid transaction and helps us stay honest in the proof-of-work that was completed to mine a block. Transporting this form of energy is also easy because it can be sent to anyone anywhere in the world at a fraction of the cost to mine it, via the internet, telecom infrastructure, or satellite. First, we must think beyond ourselves and grow as an intergalactic species. We must play at a higher level. Until next time bitcoin reader.

au nom des commerçants Oui, conserver Bitcoin pour toujours est honorable, logique et sage. Et je comprends que cela signifie NE PAS utiliser réellement dans le commerce, je comprends. Pour aider les humains du monde à utiliser réellement Bitcoin à chaque instant dans le cadre de leurs transactions commerciales, pas seulement pour acheter une tasse de café ou une bière à l'aide d'une facture éclair, mais aussi pour le commerce de gros de produits en gros entre pays, nous devrions considérer quand Les humains font réellement ça ? Comment pouvons-nous éduquer, justifier, expliquer ou soutenir la volatilité de la fixation d'un prix de vente dans SATS Bitcoin ? originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/600307

Eventually some smaller suppliers/exporters and buyers/importers will use Bitcoin Factoring. Actually a great idea. Minor detail when any Company in ANY Country imports and/or exports, there is so much paperwork and logging by various Government agencies that both parties in the sale or purchase of the goods still have to declare in fiat usually the USD. However, a few brave souls out there are taking about using Bitcoin for Factoring instead of using fiat. Actually smaller garment and textile companies are already seeing that this will probably be used sooner rather than later in: Cambodia Belarus El Salvador Hong Kong Honolulu (NOT "Hawaii"). India Laos Mexico Russia (2025 with or without a finish to the war). Thailand Vietnam My biggest complaint from my peers in other Countries is that their own Governments keep changing what is "allowed" this year versus previous years, or this extra taxation, regardless it's coming, the actual use in B2B transactions using Bitcoin. These are some the realities suppliers and buyers have to deal with What is the declared price in fiat ? What is the price of Bitcoin at the time of the payment ? What was the payor's DCA of the Bitcoin they have possession of ? Here again, smaller companies can just bypass a factoring their invoices and collect payment in Bitcoin, fast much, much cheaper and breaking up in to smaller installment payments via Lightning seems like the baby steps in trying this out. We are so early, please keep in mind this handy reference: Honolulu has many many flights every day from Asia and South East Asia, there are many business people that use Honolulu as a stepping stone to get started doing business in the USA Why ? 1. We are in the middle of the Ocean very few "factories" here, we have to import and export. 2. It's logical to use Bitcoin, wire transfers are expensive and time consuming to process. 4. Multiple "installment payment(s) and or deposit payments, or shipping payments, etc. can be done via Lightning payments, Zaprite invoicing is a good start for your customers they will see the option to pay with Bitcoin, or ACH, or a card, or link to square or stripe etc. 5. It's a sales tool as it can create communication about factoring, and move to just giving or getting a discount of payment is made using Bitcoin. Other Issues A. Some Bitcoin payment providers and wallets are "leaving" or no longer support doing any transaction in the USA. B. Whether your a buyer or seller of goods, If you are holding some Bitcoin that you DCA'ed as your starting point then it's easier to quote what your comfortable with. C. Look at where tourism is doing good, growing is logically where your newer markets are to go to, especially if your an American. D. Do NOT underestimate the trade in Belarus, Cambodia, Honolulu (NOT Hawaii), Hungary, India, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Myanmar, Poland, Russia, Thailand, Ukraine, Vietnam it's already taking place. Leave World politics aside, your either a merchant or not, the discussion here is about doing business. E. Position your company to have at least one distributor, dealer, agent that is standing by and is familiar with your products. F. Do NOT waste your time with these Countries, remember their stance on the lock downs before. Australia (EXCEPT PERTH it's ok), Canada, New Zealand, The United Kingdom. G. Contact me if your an actual business person interested in selling your goods to destinations OUTSIDE of the USA. No business reports or academia discussions, merchant mentality only please. H. Trump will probably shake up things with tariff comments, just stay the course, think opportunities in BOTH Importing AND Exporting. Do NOT think like a generic American, get straight to the point, think one page pdf brochures. I. Friendly reminders USA uses UPC-A barcodes rest of the World varies.

**50% of the Bitcoin held with Unchained* will be seized by the US government within 10 years: a thought experiment ** Let me start by saying that I believe collaborative multisig is strictly better than leaving on an exchange, an ETF, or other paper Bitcoin options. I have extensively tested collaborative multisig at the 3 most well known providers: Unchained, Casa, and Nunchuk. My participation in Bitcoin Twitter and Nostr has led me to the conclusion that KYC collaborative multisig is shockingly easy to seize. If you care about this topic I will assume you are already based enough that you need no primer on the horrid fiscal situation of the governments of the USA, EU, China, etc. A 6102 (President FDR ordering the seizure of all privately held gold) type event feels escalatingly likely in the short term, and almost inevitable in the medium term. There are a few indisputable facts everyone must accept: Most users of collaborative multisig have at least 1 key (probably 2) at one of the following: their home, a bank safety deposit box, or other highly logical place in their immediate vicinity. Unchained multisig vaults are fully KYC. Meaning they have a list of your name, email address, and home address right next to your BTC holdings amount, 1 of 3 keys to your multisig, and even Social Security Number and more info if you use their loan or trading desk services. Hopefully you should immediately recognize the problem. The American government is 1 warrant away from having your full identity, BTC amount, and 1 of your 3 keys. Further they are most likely 1 visit to your home or bank away from having a 2nd key, and thus control of your BTC. Further, everyone must also accept that video verification is not much better than no verification. The government could also just come to your home (where you almost certainly have 1 key) and force you to submit a transaction request to Unchained. Per their own website Unchained does not have a specific minimum waiting period to submit transaction, e.g. it could be 1-2 days if you submit on a slow Monday or it could be 3-5 days if you submit over a weekend during a crowded Mempool. Even before considering AI fakes, video verification is simply not secure. It is quite easy to have someone stand out of shot holding you and/or your family hostage. The American government also has more than enough prison capacity to hold anyone indefinitely they need to while waiting for transactions to process. Sit and ruminate on the fact that all the government needs to do to take your Bitcoin is enter your home, use their monopoly on violence, and not so politely ask you to sign with your key and request Unchained sign with theirs. After a brief delay, all your BTC is gone forever! There is a brutal cognitive dissonance in believing Bitcoin will become worth millions of dollars per coin, and simultaneously thinking the government will not bother to visit one office, a few homes, or a handful of banks for untold riches. If the government gets desperate, then large holders using KYCed collaborative multisig are a potentially appealing target. Yes it is strictly harder to seize than an ETF or on an exchange, but that doesn’t make it foolproof. The easiest target is often the overconfident one. It would likely be too difficult to discretely visit many places and hold many people for enough time to seize all coins held by Unchained, but grabbing a significant portion of the largest holders before news broke is certainly plausible. Maybe I’m underestimating Unchained and they’re willing to go to prison for life, and during a government raid would wipe their servers rather than hand them over. But would you trust that with your life savings? I would not. In my assessment for users with less technical knowledge non-KYC multisig options such as Casa and Nunchuk are strictly better than a fully doxed option like Unchained. For those with more advanced technical knowledge the potential of miniscript and timelocks in Liana presents an even more secure option, albeit with the tradeoff of additional complexity. There is no free lunch. You must decide for yourself. Just please thoughtfully consider your options. I hope this is not taken as an attack at Unchained. I believe they are a solid Bitcoin only company doing some great work, but I also think they and their users drastically underestimate their current vulnerabilities. My hope is not to harm them in any way, but to force an uncomfortable conversation that the community needs to have. My greatest hope would be multisig makes strides in security across the industry. Taproot enabling multisigs to look like singlesigs and not placing all spending paths publicly on chain would be a great place to start. Miniscript next. These advanced security capabilities are available today via Liana and Anchorwatch. These are the next generation of multisig that the community desperately needs. They just haven’t realized it yet, but they will once a few Unchained customers publicly get their Bitcoins seized.

Alright. Been thinking about different ways to share photo memories with friends and family and will explain my thoughts on a few methods and then I want to hear what you like to do or was the last such event you participated in  There's something about reliving memories through images. It's not just nostalgia – I found it to be incredibly influencial on thinking about my whole life as kind of a story, bonding with people, and keep our most precious moments alive. But in this digital age, how we choose to revisit these memories? I've been thinking a lot about different ways to share photo memories with friends and family. To me, that's kind of the point of it all. I might be obsessive about gear and tech etc but in the end all that counts to me is the social aspect and sharing it with people. # Analog Projectors: Bringing back the old school slideshow vibes. Pros: Nostalgic feel, creates a "event" atmosphere, big screen impact. What I like about this is that making it an "event" lowers the social barrier of other people to actually engage in the activity. Cons: Setup can be a hassle, image quality varies, limited to physical slides or prints. You not only have to shoot analog - you have to shoot positive slides analog.  Maybe here is the point I should mention digital projectors as well. I know that this is what the purists do (maybe you are this, please tell me if so) and probably nice if you are rich enough to have a whole home theatre setup. I remember reading on Reddit that some people even insist on using the same cine lenses on their projectors that they shot a vacation with  I get the appeal of cinematic photos from an ARRI lens on Kodak Motion Picture Film. I get it. But for me that's a little too autistic no offense.  # Smart TV: The modern take on slideshows. Pros: Big screen experience, easy to control from your phone, good for group viewing. This is the biggest screen, most immersive setup, most inclusive for everyone to copy photos into a folder before hand. Cons: Requires some tech setup, can sometimes feel a bit too "produced". My personal experience is that this counterintuitively has the highest social barrier to do - even higher than doing analog projection as an "event". People don't like to commit to an calendar entry just for that. Might work well if tacked on onto the end of movie night or board game evening. # Prints: Going old school with fine art prints Pros: Tactile experience, no tech required, creates a physical keepsake Cons: Takes effort to organize, can be costly, not as easy to share widely  Prints can be as classy and fine art or as casual and posters as you want them to be. Great for looking at as a side activity during a bbq or board game night. It gets really expensive to print a dozen pics for every occasion tho. At this point I also want to encourage everyone to make a huuuge print if you ever take a pic that xould be a magnum opus. Once every decade event maximum IMO. [Bonus: video about printing papers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-Jn0F8L9OI&ab_channel=KyleMcDougall) # Looking at an iPhone together. Pros: Super convenient, always with you, great for spontaneous Cons: Small screen limits the impact, not at all immersive. On vacation photos from last year I want to feel like I'm right there again. Not very social as people tend to hunch over the phone, can feel a bit impersonal. Even when we share an iPad or phone I think there is something subconscious about a personal device that makes it feel less together  I can't stress enough that this subconscous barrier makes it so that IMO the bonding aspect here is really zero. Idk how to say it. # VR: The futuristic option for immersive photo experiences. Pros: Incredibly immersive, can feel like you're "in" the photo, great for panorama images which IMO one of the smart phone photography features that beats real cameras Cons: Expensive gear, isolating (usually one person at a time), can be overwhelming for some. I haven't tried Apple Vision Pro but it seems like this is still so so so far for a social event.  kinda dystopian. Maybe when I'm 90 and alone I'll do that scrolling through my entire life on the day before I die. # Digital Photo Frames I hate this one, it's just TV but worse. No pro&con list. Call me biased, whatever. # Conclusion I will try to do TV sessions tacked on to other events. I mentioned that the social barrier is high but I can't shoot everything on positive slides. I will also do fine art prints for 3-4 photos per vacation or real life thing where I took a camera. What's your preferred method for sharing photo memories? Do you prioritize convenience, social interaction, or immersion? Any cool ideas or methods I missed? Do you maybe disagree with the entire premise that socializing and reminiscing is the entire point? originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/599904

### **"สเตอรอลในร่างกาย: มองให้ลึกกว่าคอเลสเตอรอล"** แม้ทุกวันนี้เริ่มมีข้อมูลมากมายว่า คอเลสเตอรอลไม่ได้มีส่วนเกี่ยวข้องกับเรื่องของโรคหลอดเลือดและหัวใจ เเต่ในกระแสสื่อหลัก ก็ยังคงเล่นประเด็นเหล่านี้อย่างต่อเนื่อง และแน่นอนก็มีงานวิจัยที่ถูกกล่าวอ้างใหม่ๆที่พยายามหาทางเลือกในการพยายามลดระดับคอเลสเตอรอลในเลือด ซึ่งถูกยกเป็นเป้าหมายสำคัญในการป้องกันโรคหัวใจและหลอดเลือดมาเป็นเวลานานแล้ว ส่งผลให้หนึ่งทางเลือก คือ สเตอรอลจากพืช (plant sterols/phytosterols) ได้รับความนิยมเพิ่มขึ้นในฐานะทางเลือกธรรมชาติสำหรับการลดคอเลสเตอรอล โดยเชื่อว่า สามารถลดระดับคอเลสเตอรอลในเลือดได้อย่างมีประสิทธิภาพ โดยทำงานดังนี้: * สเตอรอลจากพืชเป็นโมเลกุลที่มีโครงสร้างคล้ายคอเลสเตอรอล * พวกมันแข่งขันกับคอเลสเตอรอลในการดูดซึมที่ลำไส้ * สเตอรอลจากพืชจะเข้าไปแทนที่คอเลสเตอรอลที่ร่างกายสร้างขึ้นบางส่วน  อย่างไรก็ตาม การศึกษาล่าสุดและข้อมูลจากโรคหายากกำลังท้าทายความเข้าใจของเราเกี่ยวกับบทบาทของสเตอรอลจากพืช ต่อร่างกายของเรา จากบทความ ของ Zoë Harcombe and Julien S. Baker ตีพิมพ์ใน Online Journal of Biological Sciences ปี 2014 ในหัวข้อ “ PLANT STEROLS LOWER CHOLESTEROL, BUT INCREASE RISK FOR CORONARY HEART DISEASE “ ( [https://thescipub.com/abstract/ojbsci.2014.167.169 ]())  พบว่า สเตอรอลจากพืชสามารถลดระดับคอเลสเตอรอลได้อย่างมีประสิทธิภาพ แต่ยังไม่มีหลักฐานชัดเจนว่าสามารถลดความเสี่ยงต่อโรคหัวใจและหลอดเลือดได้จริง โดยประเด็นหลักๆของบทความ คือ: 1. สเตอรอลจากพืชสามารถลดระดับคอเลสเตอรอลได้จริง แต่ไม่มีหลักฐานว่าช่วยลดความเสี่ยงต่อ โรคหลอดเลือดหัวใจ (CHD) 2. มีงานวิจัยหลายชิ้นที่พบว่าระดับสเตอรอลจากพืชที่สูงขึ้นอาจเพิ่มความเสี่ยงต่อ CHD และอัตราการเสียชีวิต 3. มีข้อกังวลเกี่ยวกับความเสี่ยงต่อมะเร็งด้วย แม้จะมีหลักฐานจำกัด 4. รายงานจาก European Food Safety Authority ได้ระบุว่า"ไม่มีการศึกษาแทรกแซงในมนุษย์ที่แสดงให้เห็นว่าสเตอรอลจากพืชลดความเสี่ยงของโรคหลอดเลือดหัวใจ” 5. สหภาพยุโรปได้ออกคำเตือนว่าผลิตภัณฑ์ที่เสริมสเตอรอลจากพืชไม่ได้มีไว้สำหรับผู้ที่ไม่จำเป็นต้องควบคุมระดับคอเลสเตอรอล บทความเน้นย้ำว่า เป้าหมายควรเป็นการปรับปรุงผลลัพธ์ทางสุขภาพจริงๆ ไม่ใช่แค่การลดตัวชี้วัดทางการแพทย์เท่านั้น ซึ่งจากประเด็นหลักของบทความทำให้พบว่างานวิจัยโดยส่วนใหญ่มุ่งเป้าไปที่เรื่องของการลดปริมาณคอเลสเตอรอลแต่ไม่ได้มองไปถึงการเกิดอุบัติการณ์ของโรคอย่างแท้จริง ใช้เพียงตัวชี้วัดคือการลดลงของคอเลสเตอรอลแล้วสรุปว่าช่วยในเรื่องของการลดความเสี่ยง ซึ่งถือว่าเป็นการ++”คาดการณ์”++บนพื้นฐานทางทฤษฎีของความรู้ทางชีวเคมีและสรีรวิทยา ไม่ได้ศึกษาถึงประโยชน์ผลกระทบโดยตรง แต่เมื่อศึกษาถึงอุบัติการณ์ของโรคจริงๆ กลับพบว่าผลลัพธ์นั้น++”ตรงกันข้าม”++จากข้อสรุปก่อนหน้านั้นก็คือมี การเพิ่มความเสี่ยงต่อ CHD และอัตราการเสียชีวิต โดยตัวบทความได้อ้างอิงงานวิจัยหลายชิ้นที่แสดงให้เห็นถึงความเสี่ยงเหล่านี้: 1. Rajaratnam et al. (2000) พบว่าผู้หญิงวัยหมดประจำเดือนที่มีระดับสเตอรอลจากพืชสูงมีความเสี่ยงต่อโรคหลอดเลือดหัวใจเพิ่มขึ้น 2. Sudhop et al. (2002) สรุปว่าสเตอรอลจากพืชอาจเป็นปัจจัยเสี่ยงเพิ่มเติมสำหรับ CHD 3. Assmann et al. (2006) รายงานว่าระดับ sitosterol (ชนิดหนึ่งของสเตอรอลจากพืช) ที่สูงขึ้นสัมพันธ์กับการเกิดเหตุการณ์หัวใจที่สำคัญในผู้ชายที่มีความเสี่ยงสูงต่อ CHD 4. Silbernagel et al. (2010) พบว่าการดูดซึมสเตอรอลจากพืชสูงและการสังเคราะห์คอเลสเตอรอลต่ำทำนายอัตราการเสียชีวิตจากทุกสาเหตุและจากโรคหัวใจและหลอดเลือดที่เพิ่มขึ้น นอกจากนี้ บทความยังกล่าวถึงความเสี่ยงที่อาจเกิดขึ้นต่อมะเร็ง โดยเฉพาะมะเร็งลำไส้ใหญ่และทวารหนักในผู้ชาย แม้ว่าจะมีหลักฐานจำกัดก็ตาม และเมื่อเราได้รู้จัก โรคหายากอย่าง Sitosterolemia ซึ่งกำลังเปิดเผยให้เห็นถึงอันตรายที่อาจเกิดขึ้นจากการสะสมสเตอรอลจากพืชมากเกินไป Sitosterolemia เป็นโรคทางพันธุกรรมที่หายากมาก เกิดจากการกลายพันธุ์ของยีนที่ควบคุมการขับสเตอรอลจากพืชออกจากร่างกาย ส่งผลให้ผู้ป่วยมีการสะสมสเตอรอลจากพืชในเลือดและเนื้อเยื่อต่างๆ มากเกินไป ซึ่งปกติร่างกายจะดูดซึมเพียงเล็กน้อยแล้วขับออกอย่างรวดเร็ว ผู้ป่วยมักมีระดับคอเลสเตอรอลและสเตอรอลจากพืชสูงตั้งแต่วัยเด็ก และมีความเสี่ยงสูงต่อการเกิดโรคหลอดเลือดแดงแข็ง (atherosclerosis) ตั้งแต่อายุยังน้อย อาจเกิดภาวะกล้ามเนื้อหัวใจขาดเลือด (myocardial infarction) ในวัยหนุ่มสาว นอกจากนี้ยังอาจพบปัญหา ข้ออักเสบ (arthritis),การขยายขนาดของตับและม้าม (hepatosplenomegaly) ,ตับอักเสบ, ภาวะโลหิตจาง (anemia) เนื่องจากการแตกของเม็ดเลือดแดง  การศึกษาโรค Sitosterolemia ทำให้เราตระหนักว่า การสะสมสเตอรอลจากพืชมากเกินไปสามารถก่อให้เกิดปัญหาสุขภาพร้ายแรงได้ เช่นเดียวกับ คอเลสเตอรอล จึงนำไปสู่คำถามสำคัญ: **“ทั้งสเตอรอลจากพืชและคอเลสเตอรอลสามารถก่อให้เกิดปัญหาสุขภาพคล้ายกันได้ หรือ ทั้งสองอย่าง ไม่ได้เกี่ยวอะไรกับปัญหาสุขภาพอย่างที่เราเข้าใจกัน” ** * เป็นไปได้ไหมว่าเราตีความความสัมพันธ์ระหว่างสเตอรอลกับโรคหัวใจผิดไป โดยมองว่าเป็นสาเหตุ ทั้งที่อาจเป็นเพียงอาการแสดงของปัญหาที่ลึกกว่านั้น * * เป็นไปได้ไหมว่า atherosclerosis และ myocardial infarction มีสาเหตุที่ซับซ้อนมากกว่าการมองแค่ระดับสเตอรอลชนิดใดชนิดหนึ่ง * * เป็นไปได้ไหมว่าอาจไม่ได้อยู่ที่สารชนิดใดชนิดหนึ่ง แต่เป็นความไม่สมดุลในระบบการจัดการสเตอรอลของร่างกาย * * เป็นไปได้ไหมที่เราจำเป็นต้องมองสุขภาพในภาพรวมมากขึ้น แทนที่จะมุ่งเน้นที่สารเฉพาะชนิดใดชนิดหนึ่ง * * เป็นไปได้ไหมว่าเราต้องมองลึกลงไปถึงกลไกพื้นฐานของการเกิดโรคมากกว่าการมุ่งเน้นที่สารใดสารหนึ่ง และเมื่อเรามาดูกระบวนการที่ร่างกายตอบสนองต่อทั้งสอง sterol  จะเห็นว่า จริงๆแล้วร่างกายเราไม่ชอบ plant sterol ด้วยซ้ำ เพราะเมื่อทั้งสองsterol เข้ามาในลำไส้ จะพบว่า ร่างกายเลือกจะขับเอา plant sterol ส่วนใหญ่ ออกจากร่างกายโดยมี cholesterol ออกไปด้วยเล็กน้อย ในขณะที่ cholesterol ส่วนใหญ่ร่างกายนำเข้าร่างกายมีเพียง plant sterol ส่วนน้อยเท่านั้นที่ได้เข้าไป หรือจริงๆแล้ว ร่างกายไม่ได้ต้องการ plant sterol มาก แต่ร่างกายต้องการ cholesterol เป็นหลัก แล้วร่างกายเราต้องใช้ cholesterol ในการช่วยขับ plant sterol ออกจากร่างกาย ทำให้เราสูญเสีย cholersterol ไป แล้วตามข้อมูลที่พวกเรารู้ว่า Cholesterol จริงๆแล้วสำคัญยังไง เมื่อถูกเอาไปใช้ในการขับ plant sterol ทำให้ได้รับ Cholesterol น้อยลง จึงส่งผลให้เพิ่มความเสี่ยงและอัตราการเสียชีวิต ตามบทความที่เอามาลง  การค้นพบเหล่านี้เน้นย้ำให้เห็นว่าความสัมพันธ์ระหว่างสเตอรอลกับสุขภาพนั้นซับซ้อนกว่าที่เคยเข้าใจ การมุ่งเน้นเพียงการลดหรือเพิ่มสารใดสารหนึ่งอาจไม่เพียงพอในการป้องกันโรค เราจำเป็นต้องมองภาพรวมของสุขภาพ และพิจารณาปัจจัยอื่นๆ ที่อาจมีผลต่อการเกิดโรคหัวใจและหลอดเลือด ท้ายที่สุด บทเรียนสำคัญที่ได้รับคือ แม้แต่สารที่มาจากธรรมชาติก็อาจมีผลกระทบที่ซับซ้อนและไม่คาดคิดต่อร่างกาย การดูแลสุขภาพที่ดีจึงควรอยู่บนพื้นฐานของข้อมูลทางวิทยาศาสตร์ที่ครอบคลุมทั้งหมดไม่ใช่การคาดการณ์บนพื้นฐานทางทฤษฎีของความรู้ทางชีวเคมีและสรีรวิทยา ไม่ได้ศึกษาถึงประโยชน์ผลกระทบโดยตรง การวิจัยในอนาคตควรมุ่งเน้นที่การทำความเข้าใจกลไกพื้นฐานของการเกิดโรค มากกว่าการมุ่งเน้นที่การควบคุมตัวชี้วัดทางการแพทย์เพียงอย่างเดียว

 https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2024-07-06/biden-narrows-trump-s-election-lead-in-key-states-after-debate-poll > (Bloomberg) -- President Joe Biden registered his best showing yet in a Bloomberg News/Morning Consult tracking poll of battleground states, even as voters offered withering appraisals of his debate performance amid panic within his party. My personal take aways from this: 1. People don't actually care about the candidates. It's more like a soccer game with red team blue team. 2. Remember swing states isn't one thing. The individual swing states go their individual directions. E.g. Pennsylvania is going to be red, Wisconsin is clearly unclear etc 3. As much as people like rhetorics like "blue wave" or "red wave" none of this is happening. The US is a 50/50 country. No election in the forseeable future will ever be 60/40 in one or the other direction. Unlike in the UK or France originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/598895

This is the second in a series of weekly updates detailing progress on bringing MLS protocol DMs and group messaging to Nostr. ## Previous Updates - [June 28th 2024](nostr:naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzq9eemymaerqvwdc25f6ctyuvzx0zt3qld3zp5hf5cmfc2qlrzdh0qqxnzde38y6nvv3c8qunyd3hakfln0) ## Progress this week This week was mostly spent on the topic of how to properly publish prekey bundles and what would be needed in the bundle itself to make it workable. I've included an early version of the spec below for prekeys, and would love thoughts on it. Treat this as an alpha version, very subject to change. The other thing I spent time on was making changes to the OpenMLS library to add support for our custom ciphersuite. One issue that I've run into is that the IETF standard for HPKE doesn't include the secp256k1 curve. Because of this, the library being used in the OpenMLS library doesn't implement the necessary methods using our curve. Thankfully, there is another library with [an open PR](https://github.com/rozbb/rust-hpke/pull/59) (shout out to nostr:npub1yevrvtp3xl42sq06usztudhleq8pdfsugw5frgaqg6lvfdewfx9q6zqrkl for that!) that would fix this. Additionally, there's an [expired proposal](https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-wahby-cfrg-hpke-kem-secp256k1-01.html) to add secp256k1 to the HPKE spec itself. I've bumped both of these and will continue to follow up. Even without the formal addition to the spec, if we have a working library, I can add that to the OpenMLS library. ## Spec Draft for Prekeys ### Initial keying material (Prekey Event) Each user that wishes to be reachable via MLS-based messaging MUST first publish a prekey event. Prekeys are used to authenticate and add members to groups (one-to-one DMs or groups with more than two participants) in an asynchronous way. The prekey event is a simple replaceable event and contains all the information needed to add a user to a group. Prekeys SHOULD be used only once. Resuse of prekeys can lead to replay attacks. In most cases, clients that implement this NIP will manage the creation and rotation of the prekey event. It's recommended that clients do so interactively with user consent in order to avoid overwriting prekeys created by other clients. #### Derived vs Ephemeral Prekeys Since prekeys are generated on a single device/client pair, the private key of the prekey must be either stored or generated in a way that can be deterministically recovered. The recommended approach is to use derived keys, generated in the manner described in [NIP-06](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/06.md). In this way, the user can respond to a new group request from any device/client pair, not just from the same device/client pair that created the initial prekey event. If using derived keys; * Clients MUST use `104` as the `account` level value and `0` at the `change` level value (e.g. `m/44'/1237'/104'/0/0`). * Keys are then generated using public derivation by incrementing the `address_index` level value. * Clients MUST include the full derivation path corresponding to the key used in the `content` field on the prekey event. * The `content` field MUST be encrypted using standard [NIP-44](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/44.md) encryption (encrypted to themselves). However, for added security (and consequently a more restrictive user experience), clients can chose to generate an ephemeral key and store the private key locally. This means that users will only be able to respond to new group requests from the same device/client pair and won't be able to respond at all if the prekey's private key is lost. Ephemeral keys can also be used with minimal degredation of UX if you're using a remote signer that can manage these keys. If using an ephemeral key; * The `content` field on the prekey event MUST be filled in with `EPHEMERAL` and then encrypted using standard [NIP-44](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/44.md) encryption (encrypted to themselves). This ensures that anyone looking at prekey events cannot tell whether it's a derived or an ephemeral prekey. #### Example Prekey Event ```json { "id": <id>, "kind": 10443, "created_at": <unix timestamp in seconds>, "pubkey": <main identity pubkey>, "content": <encrypted derivation path | EPHEMERAL>, "tags": [ ["mls_protocol_version", "1.0"], ["ciphersuite", "MLS_256_DHKEMK256_CHACHA20POLY1305_SHA256_K256"], ["pubkey", <prekey pubkey>], ["prekey_sig", <signature generated from hex encoded pubkey of the prekey>], ["r", "wss://nos.lol"], ["r", "wss://relay.primal.net"] ], "sig": <signed with main identity key> } ``` #### Tags * The `mls_protocol_version` tag identifies the MLS protocol version being used. For now, this MUST be `1.0` * The `ciphersuite` tag identifies the ciphersuite supported. For now on Nostr, we're using a custom ciphersuite, `MLS_256_DHKEMK256_CHACHA20POLY1305_SHA256_K256`. [Read more about ciphersuites in MLS](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9420.html#name-mls-cipher-suites). * `pubkey` is the derived or ephemeral prekey pubkey. * The `prekey_sig` tag value is a Schnorr signature (over the secp256k1 curve) of the SHA-256 hashed value of the prekey's pubkey, signed with the prekey's private key. ```js const privKey = schnorr.utils.randomPrivateKey(); const pubKey = schnorr.getPublicKey(privKey); const prekeySig = bytesToHex( schnorr.sign(bytesToHex(sha256(pubKey)), privKey) ); const prekeyTag = ["prekey_sig", prekeySig]; ``` Finally, clients SHOULD include `r` tags to identify each of the relays that they will attempt to publish this prekey event to. This allows for more complete replacement of prekey events at a later date. ### Replacing Prekey Events Clients MUST replace the prekey event on all the listed relays any time they successfully process a group welcome event. If the prekey was a derived prekey, clients SHOULD increment the derivation path by 1 for the next key. ## Onward and Upward This next week I'll continue to work on getting the right curves and code added to the OpenMLS library and start work on a simple demo app. The focus is on better understanding what we need from the control and message events and how we can make those as simple as possible for Nostr clients and relays while also preserving as much privacy as possible.

The day before yesterday was a whirlwind of exploration in Moshi, Tanzania. My plan was to find the elusive Art Market, a haven for local artists nestled outside the town center. Google Maps wasn't much help, but armed with a vague memory and a thirst for artistic discovery, I set off on foot.  After a scenic walk, I stumbled upon the hidden gem. Unlike the tourist-oriented markets in town, this place brimmed with authenticity. Artists displayed their paintings, sculptures, and wood carvings, creating a vibrant atmosphere. While browsing, I encountered a sight that gave me pause: a man working on elephant tusks. Knowing the illegality of the ivory trade in many countries, I snapped a couple of photos and continued my exploration.  Deeper into the market, I came across two artists diligently creating new pieces. They even offered me a friendly lunch invitation, which I politely declined (unsure of the mysterious meat on the menu!).  Energized by the artistic encounters, I decided to venture further. I hopped on a tuk-tuk, aiming for the outskirts of Moshi, a place called Raul, the gateway to the Materuni Waterfall hike (which I'd already conquered in December). Unfortunately, my tuk-tuk driver wasn't feeling as honest. He tried to overcharge me, but luckily, I knew the fair price and negotiated a fair deal.  The adventure took a turn for the worse on the return trip. Due to poor lighting and a hidden curb, I had a nasty nighttime fall. My hands, knee, and foot took the brunt of the impact, leaving me with some nasty (and still painful!) wounds. Thankfully, a kind soul at the hostel provided disinfectant, and I followed up with medication from the pharmacy the next day.  While the mishaps put a damper on the evening, the day's earlier discoveries still hold a special place in my memory. The Art Market, with its raw talent and local charm, was a true gem. This experience serves as a reminder that sometimes the best adventures are the ones that stray from the beaten path, even if they come with a few bumps and bruises along the way.      After tending to my wounds, I decided to treat myself to some comfort food. Opting for something familiar, I ordered a dish called "Wali Maharagwe." This Tanzanian staple, consisting of rice and beans, was exactly what I needed to soothe my body and soul. The flavors were simple yet satisfying, a perfect end to an eventful day.  > Feel free to support me by sending some sats via the lightning network to rubenstorm@getalby.com

# Shop The Bitcoin Circular Economy In an effort to help build the circular economy, I want to increase awareness of businesses that accept bitcoin as payment. **These are not Paid Ads**. I list these companies because I use their services and find them valuable. I hope they find value in my word of mouth advertizing. Please spend some sats with them to support the circular economy The following is a list of business that I use: [Coinkite](https://coinkite.com/) You have heard of them for sure, the maker of the world famous Cold Card. If you don't have a cold card, you need to get your shit in order, but the company makes at least 50 products. I don't have a discount code for this company, but listen to a bitcoin podcast and I'm sure you will find one. Coin kite does a lot of other cool shit too, like the satschip, a product designed for artists. NFT's are a scam, but physical art is a real thing. Artists who add the satschip to their physical artworks can throw a photo of the artwork on the CoinKite website. These jpegs are not NFT's. They are not Ordinals. They are art with a chip that works similar to the Tap Signer, except the seed can never be revealed. It ties the physical paining, a , et al. to the bitcoin blockchain. It's neat way of tying art to digital scarcity without all the scammy bullshit associated with NFT's [Bitrefill](https://www.bitrefill.com/us/en/) let's Me buy gift cards with bitcoin. I used to use it to pay my bills, but they have since discontinued that service. I still think it's a great company and use it as a way to get discounts on certain stores like CryptoCloaks. [The Bitcoin Company](https://thebitcoincompany.com/) sells gift cards and Visa Cards online. I recently ordered a part for a composer and the customer service rep asked me to **send my credit card number** and secret code over email. I didn't feel comfortable sending that information, but I was able to buy a Visa Card with the exact amount to get my composter parts. They used the credit card and I got my parts, but there is no more money on the credit card. **Information longs to be free**, so guard your credit card numbers. [CryptoCloaks](https://www.cryptocloaks.com/) is a company that sells 3D printed items for sats. I hae bought quite a few things off them. Most recently, a case that my S9 which has been converted into a heater. He has a lot of other cool stuff too. Check him out. [BitcoinHatGuy](https://bitcoinhatguy.com/) has sold hats for bitcoin for decades and I have spent more sats on these hats than I feel comfortable admitting, but have never regretted my purchases. In real life, I'm one of those wierdos that wears the same thing everyday: Black T-Shirt and Gray pants, but I have an extensive hat collection. I buy most of my hats with bitcoin and most of those hats were bought from BTChatGuy. They're great, cheaper than MLB or even minor league baseball hats and I don't watch sports anyway. If you wear hats, buy a hat from this dude. [Robosats](https://learn.robosats.com/) Bitcoin exchanges are some of the biggest spenders in the bitcoin content creation market. They are the bread and butter for content creators. This makes sense, because they also get the most in fees. According to David Bennet from the Bitcoin and Podcast, The Cash App had over a billion bucks in revenue from bitcoin sales alone. Good. I'm happy for the Block, but smaller bitcoin only exchanges like RoboSats don't get the exposure they deserve because they don't have the marketing budget. RoboSats is a peer to peer exchange. It's only on TOR, but they also have an app on the Andoroid store for those too timid for TOR. Robosats is a bitcoin escrow service. They hold bitcoin in escrow and wait for conformation that payment has been recieved. Bitcoin sellers generally sell for about 5% above market value to provide KYC Free Sats to customers. Fiat settlements are made using the Cash App, Strike, or even Amazon gift cards. We should market the p2p exchanges like this more. Robosats incentives this by giving users or referal codes. Refer someone to RoboSats using your referral code and you will get 100 sats for each trade. I would like to see people shill RoboSats and pick up these sats on social media. So I am not only asking you to use RoboSats, but I am also asking you to shill it. I had nodeless.io on the list, but the tyrannical government of Canada shut it down. When I attempt to orange pill normies, the objection I most often need to overcome is "Bitcoin can never work because the government[state] will shut it down. The 100k bitcoiners in the world know it does not work that way, but most CPI believers think the government just needs to shut down the single bitcoin computer to take it all away. Perception is reality as they say. And yeah, we won't all turn off our bitcoin mining heaters or shut off our nodes, but I have seen online Poker get decimated by government policies. They did not succeed at ending online poker, but they essentially ended access to online poker for anyone with a sub 120 IQ. If we want bitcoin to be for everybody, we need to make it easy for people to buy non-KYC bitcoin. RoboSats is making that their mission. [Nostr.build](https://nostr.build) Nostr Native video and image storage. you can login with your npun instead of an email or using nip07. The premium membership also includes access to btcpayserver, but you'll need to set it up. The subscription lasts one year, but the developers told me they won't actually delete your photos for two years. I love nostr.build and think it is an underrated resource in the nostr community [BTCPins](https://btcpins.com/) BTCPins sells cool bitcoin collectible PINS. They're reasonably priced and look great. He only accepts bitcoin because he is a true ride or die freak. He is also one of the meetup organizers in Southern California and wears hats sold by Bitcoin author, Knut Svanholm. He's the real deal. [Strike](https://strike.me/) Strike would pay me like five or ten bucks if I had you sign up with them via my referral link, but I'm not recommending them for the referral money. This is about recommending services I use. Strike is the best way to send fiat around the world. I also know that many bitcoiners don't like the idea of spending their own bitcoin, Strike gives you the ability to instantaneously convert fiat to bitcoin and vice-versa. I would rather have the hodl never sodl people spend fiat in the circular economy this way. In a perfect world, Strike would not comply with KYC laws, but like I said, it's the best way to send fiat around the world.(or people on Robosats who could be anywhere in the world.) I also think if a KYC free exchange is to expensive, you're better off stacking a little on a KYC exchange than not stacking at all. Budgets are tight these days. If you can only stack a penny this paycheck, stack that penny with Strike. Need to send fiat to Mexico, use Strike instead of Western Union. [Seed Signer](https://seedsigner.com/) Seed Signer is a raspberry pi with no Wi-Fi. You can make your own or buy one from the store. The seed signer does not have a secure element, but it also does not store your seed on the device. Therefore, you must write down your seed and enter it into the device every time you plug it in. This sounds like a pain in the ass, and it is if you do it that way, but it comes with a camera and a unique neat feature. You can create a QR code using a pen and paper.(You'll need access to a printer too) Actually, I recommend using a pencil and paper. It's easy to make a mistake so you might want to erase it. You can always go over it with a felt tip pen later if you're worried about a man in the middle attack. You can also use it for nostr keys I think, but I have not tried this feature. I would not trust all my bitcoin with any wallet, but this is an excellent wallet to use as part of a multisig with Sparrow Wallet or Specter Desktop. [Get Alby](https://getalby.com) Get Alby is my favorite desktop wallet. I've made spme videos about them here and highly recomend it because you can use it as a custodial wallet or hook it up to your own node. I also respect this product a lot. Back in 2017 or 2018 we had the Joule browser extension, but you had basically had to be a lightning engineer to get it to work. I wasted many hours of my life away trying to get it to work on my browser with no dice. Alby is about 100X improvement over the old Joule days. They also have some cool nostr features and make it easy to login to websites. Full disclosure, I have no idea how they make money. [Plebai](https://home.plebai.com/https://home.plebai.com/) You put a dollar into a vending machine and it spits out bubbly sugar water. This data vending machine works like that. You put im 100 sats and it will genorate an AI image or create a summary for your blog. It's an awesome service and does not require a subscription like some of the fiat competition. LeatherMint I bought a belt from leathermint and it was one of the best purchases I ever made online. I highly recommend buying things from this site https://theleathermint.com/. I wrote about my experience [here](https://habla.news/u/bloggingbitcoin@nostrplebs.com/bad-ass-belts-from-leathermint). These are not all the products I use, and I will add more over time. **If you have a bitcoin side hustle or sell a bitcoin related product, let me know about it**. I'm always interested in learning about more bitcoin companies.

Recently a famous actress accused an AI company of using her voice without her permission. She says this company approached her about using her voice as the voice of a new product. She declined the offer. Now she claims the voice of the product is a dead ringer for her voice and is suing the AI company for using her voice without her permission. What could have happened is that this company could have hired an impersonator and used their voice to develop their product. I think this is the most likely thing that happened. This sparked an interesting idea in my mind. What LLM are doing is imitating. We all do it all the time. Musicians do it when they write songs. We all do it when we write. We can't help but be influenced by others. Of course there are even professional impersonators. Under current IP "law" I do not believe that an impersonator can be sued for stealing the likeness of those they impersonate. So, given that LLM simply use information/data that is publicly available how can what they are doing be unlawful or even immoral? Imagine a world like this. I color my hair and cut it in a certain way that is new and different. Does it seem reasonable that I could use the government to prevent anyone else from doing what I have done? Its absurd right? Why? Because a hair style can't be stolen. Its not tangible. It can be copied or imitated though. This cuts to the core of the logical flaws in idea of intellectual property. Most people really only look at the utility of things like IP instead of reasoning about them. You can make arguments about why IP is needed to protect something but when you really break it down logically it is full of contradictions. It falls apart. Its arbitrary. If I write something on my own web site on the Internet and do not specify a license legally you are not allowed to duplicate it. Once I publish it though I have zero control over it. Anyone can read it and "steal" it. But they can't really steal it right? I mean, I don't even have possession of it. Anything that can be infinitely copied cannot be stolen. It can be copied. It can be copied and changed. You see theft requires the possession of an object to change. When you copy what I have written here what I wrote does not cease to exist. No matter how much I don't like that the only way this can be stopped is for me to never share it. The only reason IP even exists is the state. The state arbitrarily decides who has the "right" to ideas and intangible things like songs and prose. And we know how the state enforces things. Violence and the threat of violence. I am really looking forward to watching all of the absurdities that will come out of AI companies copying and imitating things broadcasted online. Grab the popcorn. Its gonna be fun. originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/598082

Yesterday was a rollercoaster, but let's save that story for another day. Today, I want to talk about Bitcoin (BTC). This morning, I woke up and grabbed my phone to check on the markets. Bitcoin wasn't where I left it! The last time I looked, it was cruising around $60,000. Now, it was barely above $50,000.  Talk about a wake-up call! I've been waiting for a dip to buy more BTC, and here it was. The only problem? I wasn't prepared. This is a friendly reminder, folks: dips are opportunities! Whether you're a seasoned hodler or a crypto curious newbie, a price drop can be a great chance to snag some Bitcoin. Now, full disclosure: I'm no financial advisor. This is just my experience, and **I'm not a professional**. Do your own research before making any investment decisions. But hey, maybe you've been on the fence about jumping into the crypto world. Maybe you've been waiting for a sign. Well, consider this your sign! This dip could be your chance to get in on the ground floor (or at least a lower floor). Here's to hoping we all reach a point where we can finally say goodbye to fiat currency! But until then, good luck and happy hodling! ## **Find me on Nostr** [npub1kt92nvl0xra26cz7tmhd3k3v3ltmfj5890kdc3qq9860h84tp76swuf0p0](nostr:npub1kt92nvl0xra26cz7tmhd3k3v3ltmfj5890kdc3qq9860h84tp76swuf0p0) ## **Internet** * [Web Profile Page](https://rubenstorm.de.cool/) * [Support Page](https://rubenstorm.12hp.de/) > Feel free to support me by sending some sats via the lightning network to rubenstorm@sats.mobi

As I sat in my routine hot bath listening to an episode on the Huberman Podcast about *The Neuroscience of Speech, Language, and Music*, I realized how good of a conversationalist and podcast host Huberman is given his intellect and knowledge but in particular his ability and skill to ask questions. I would say this goes for any successful podcast, podcast hosts in general are great conversationalists and know how to use the power of questions. I on the other hand after doing a bit of introspection and self reflection have come to the conclusion that I don't ask enough questions and don't efficiently utilize the skill of asking questions either to enhance my learning or to engage in effective conversation that goes beyond, "Hey, how are you?", "I'm good and you?", "I'm doing well, thanks!", ".......", ".........", "Okay well nice talking to you!". Plus maybe it's just me, but I feel as a whole we don't encourage asking questions enough and don't learn nor practice it enough. In school it was always unidirectional, in that the teacher would lecture and then ask us questions to gauge whether or not we were listening and to test our retention, and then maybe at the end the teacher would ask us if we had any questions with 5 minutes left of class. Anyways, I feel for me personally that I can improve my life by learning how to use the power of questions. It's a skill I have not put much thought into as my focus has always been on trying to provide the answers or conjuring up the right response, but as I've experienced, if both sides of a conversation are only looking to provide answers and are not actively thinking to ask engaging and thought provoking questions then the conversation can go stale and stagnate real quick. Do stackers feel the same way in that they could improve their overall use of questions? Do you think asking meaningful questions is indeed a skill that needs practice? originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/597149

## Alice is a Capitalist Alice has been falling down several rabbit holes lately and decides it’s time for a break. She takes a long overdue shower and gets her thoughts straight on some of her experiences. She writes a post about how “Bees are Capitalists". However, like any real Lady, she’s got some criteria: - She wants to have some great conversations around this topic - She wants her post to be publicly readable by anyone - She doesn't want to be bothered by a bunch of trolls though - She doesn't want to be the main moderator for these conversations - She wants zaps and doesn't care where they come from In short: she wants to get the most out of her post with the least amount of overhead. Luckily, she has Nostr profile and is part of several communities (publicly readable [NIP-29](https://wikifreedia.xyz/nip-29/laeserin@getalby.com) groups). So, she just selects the communities that overlap with this topic (let's say "₿-keepers", "Austrian Economy Class" and "Permaculture Pirates") and publishes her post ... In all of them at the same time! ## Communities are Capitalists Now, anyone that is a member of any of these communities can join in on the conversation. The same conversation. One post, one event ID. Just like for a real life event, Alice didn’t invite the whole universe but she selected certain groups of people. That way, she set the stage for rich discussions with perspectives from Beekeepers and hardcore Austrian economists alike. Discussions that are still readable by anyone, but that do require membership of a selected community for write-access. The incentives play out into a win-win-win for everyone involved. Alice’s criteria are met and her post doesn’t have to fit into one neat category. She isn’t left with the current internet’s false choice between “pick 1 community” or “blast bluntly into the universe and pay Big Tech to maybe get it to the RiGhT people”. Here, she gets to publish to selected lists of recipients that she doesn’t have to curate herself, while also adding it to her feed for her followers to pick up on. Her Followers can be watching her every post, they can only pick up on certain location- or hashtags, or they can let algo’s filter for posts that have proven to be high signal in the relevant communities first. Community members get to organically discover adjacent communities, following links they’d never have considered themselves. (Beekeepers getting into Mises in this example). Lurkers can still read, share, embed and get a quick idea of the value prop of joining communities, following certain members, etc… Bob, the Community Admin for ₿-keepers, makes money by providing Curation, Computation & Hosting. He gets free marketing and exposure to people that actually might be interested. As in: he doesn’t really need Facebook Ads when he’s got plenty of Alices, writing posts with overlapping interests of the one his community is built around. He also gets more people posting to his niche community, since creators are not forced to pick just one. ## Relays are Capitalists Since Bob is in the business of Curating, Computing & Hosting stuff, he prefers doing that in the most efficient way. He prefers handling everything from 1 Relay (and maybe even 1 Blossom server, 1 GPU set-up, 1 mint, … ). Yes, Bob likes it simple. When the Community is the Relay, every part of his service gets easier: - fast loading of messages and media - content moderation - handling memberships - curating things like custom community, GIF’s, emoji, … - curating other relays he does or doesn’t want to be involved with - self-hosting the entire thing - handing over Admin rights - letting others fork the entire thing - handling back ups in whatever way suits him - handling fast access the collective preferences of his members (favorite movies of this group of people, most valued apps, …) - having a clear overview of his own costs, attack vectors, … - giving members guarantees in terms of pricing, privacy, … ## Bob is a Capitalist Bob got great value out of the conversations that followed Alice’s first post in his community. So much so, that some real-life rendez-vous’ and home-brewed mead later, they now call each other … "Honey". #### The End

#### Can someone that hates the government celebrate Independence day? I believe they can --- --- ## Defining Terms Before I answer that let me preface my thoughts with this. There are three things that get used as if they mean the same thing. 1. Nation 2. Country 3. Government Many people use these interchangeably yet they are three different things. The fact that many people do not realize or recognize this leads to confusion and frustration when they hear someone being critical of the government, and its policies. 1. Nation is the people 2. Country is the land 3. Government is the state. The system ruling over the people within the borders of the land. ## What America is to me Over the years as I've become more disenfranchised with the US government and the state as in idea I have had an internal struggle with patriotism[^1]. I love this country and its people but I hate many things the government has done and is still doing. I no longer vote. I do not believe the political forces represent me or any of us. I believe the Constitution is a beautify document but it has been powerless to stop the march to where we are today. I am ashamed of what the US and many state and local governments do. And yet, I still love America. Some people have tried to make me feel as if I do not love America. This isn't true. I'm proud to call myself an American. I love our country and what the people (on the whole over time) stand for. The ideals of liberty and justice. The ideals of the only limitation being your own willingness to work. The idea of being unashamed of what you believe. The idea of fresh starts. The ideas that drove people to the new world. These values are good. They have not always been upheld or modeled but the ideas are core to being an American. When you talk to an immigrant that has came to this country you can see how special America is. --- --- ## The US government is not America I believe the state is evil and responsible for more death and destruction than any entity that has ever existed. But, I do not want to live in chaos, I support governance. Governance exists in each of our lives. It is mostly voluntary and rarely includes violence or the threat of violence. The state uses violence to force the people into submission. The state is an entity that has a monopoly on the use of violence. The US government is not what makes me proud. It makes me ashamed. The actions of those in power are deplorable. Many of them are anti-American. When the founders penned the documents that created the federal government there was much concern about the federal government trampling over the rights of **the people**. And the evil isn't new. Look at what the US government did to the native people in this country. The state is ruthless. Our culture is far to comfortable with the violence the state perpetrates. Maybe you don't think we can abolish the state as I do. That's OK. But can we agree that its grown too big and too powerful? --- --- ## Food for thought I challenge you to think about this over the next few days. Who has your back? Is it your friends and family or is it some politician or bureaucrat? You might be thinking well, there are men who laid down their lives for our freedoms. Ok, but they are people. Most of us that oppose war oppose the abuse of those soldiers. Many times they are being used as tools for the elite. Most of us respect those that are willing to sacrifice themselves for their family and their nation. If you talk to vets(I know many) they believe in the values I have described. Those people have my respect. Most do not love the government. They love the people. They love the country. They love their families and our cultural values. They do not want to live under tyranny. Yet as the state grows in power we are increasingly living under a technocratic system that rivals the USSR. In the name of preserving freedom the state has created a tyrannical system that robs us of our freedoms. It is fueled by a political system that divides us and pits neighbor against neighbor. I invite you to reject these ideas. This political poison. We don't need to agree with each other on everything. We are being forced into this stupid arguments constantly. Live and let live. Stop trying to use force to make everyone live like you. That's un-American. Its not what this nation is about. Yet that is where we are. --- --- ### The dollar isn't American Bitcoiners should understand this. Many Americans think bitcoin is bad because the identify the dollar as American. Again, this is ignorance. The US government predates the dollar. The dollar is fiat. I believe it is anti-American. Bitcoin is American. It is censorship resistant. It is created by proof of work. It has no rulers. What is more American than that? But you see this is the same issue as thinking being American has something to do with the government. The government is something we can change, or replace. If we did would we cease to be who we are? I don't think so. --- --- ## Happy Independence day Happy Independence day stackers. Lets work on thinking more independently and living with each other in peace. Reject the political framing. We don't have to love and agree with everything everyone does. We can respect each others rights to do things we wouldn't do. We can do better at that. We could all probably focus on improving our own backyard a little more and forcing people that live across the country to do or not do things a little less. Celebrate your freedom and the freedom of others on this Independence day. --- --- What do you love about America? The people and the land. [^1]: Inspired by SNL (@k00b, and @car)

Who will it be ?

@ 796a6d9b:3bb533e3

For more than a while now, I think you have experienced the feeling that things are not right in the world or in your country, it is not surprising that it coincides with a moment in history where we will experience the end of a monetary cycle like It is FIAT money or in other words fiat money that is backed by debt, every day you look around you and people do not find much hope in the future, many of them are working to support themselves, pay the costs of living and In the best of cases, just saving a little inflationary money, a slower theft in the population, in the worst of cases, people are full of debt and without a plan on how to escape said trap. Everything is connected, we just have to look for the signs that are leaving us with the naked eye, as for example we have never had in history countries so indebted based on their GDP or gross domestic product and that this same debt was financed with a deficit, For people who have studied or lived the situations of hyperinflationary countries like Venezuela, Argentina, Turkey, Lebanon, you will know what I am talking about, it is simpler than it sounds, no country can spend more than it produces without any consequences, someone has to pay the price, in this case the population through the dark hand of inflation.  We have reached the point where governments blatantly lie to us with inflation data that does not include food, rent and energy prices, to save appearances and maintain the psychological operation that everything is fine, but when you go to the supermarket you know that something was never there. Well, it is not surprising that even you, the person reading this, know that inevitably your Dollars, Euros or Pesos will not buy you the same thing in a year as what they buy you today.  So where are we headed? It is normal then that people are not very enthusiastic about the future, since when we look into the depths of our system we realize that people's savings and purchasing power will increasingly be devalued so that everything continues to function as it has until now. Today, it is noticeable that something in people's subconscious warns them that tomorrow will be worse and that is why they have to enjoy the now, reducing their time preference to sporadic moments without thinking about the long term, even if they do not understand complex mechanisms. economics, it is observed that people are increasingly working more for less remuneration since the numbers of a salary can increase nominally but they buy fewer and fewer goods and services, as we can see in this graph.  What we have left in the coming years is the acceleration of government mechanisms to be able to continue keeping the wealth extraction system functioning, trying to extend the psychological operation to a point of no return, it is clear that a form of money has been confiscated from us. . that allowed us savings like gold did, I think it is important that we begin to question certain things and choose not to continue participating in a system that is arranged to destroy the energy of our work.  What can we do? Alternatives such as Bitcoin and gold to protect the energy of our work are some of the best options that we can implement as a refuge from the disaster to which our politicians have dragged us. Using these alternatives as a kind of battery for our energy is the only way we can ensure that the effort we make every day in our jobs, ventures or companies is not devalued, since both gold and bitcoin are not debt. of anyone, they are reserves of value and have no risk of reverse departure or non-payment. It is time to take action and educate ourselves to be able to rise to the challenges of the paradigm shift that we will have as a civilization, since a change in the monetary standard is what can lead us to a better path of incentives where people can change preferences. temporary and build for the future.

บันทึกเจอนี่ อีกหลักไมล์นึง เดือนกรกฎาคม เป็นเดือนสุดท้ายกับชีวิตครึ่งบกครึ่งน้ำครับ หลังจาก 31 กรกฎาคม 2567 ผมก็จะยุติชีวิตการทำงานโฆษณาอย่างเต็มตัว 22ปีในรูปแบบบริษัท กับอีก 3ปีในรูปแบบ freelance ศิริรวมแล้ว 25ปีในงานสายนี้ ถือว่าหมดก๊อกทุกอย่างแล้วครับ กับชีวิตที่ทำตามหลักการตลาด หลักการประชาสัมพันธ์ ชีวิตที่ทุกงานต้องทำตอบโจทย์ เอากลุ่มเป้าหมายเป็นหลัก ดูว่าเป้าหมายต้องการจะทำอะไรแล้วผลิตสิ่งนั้นออกมาเพื่อให้ตลาดสนใจและมาซื้อมาดู สินค้าหรือกิจกรรมที่ทำ ทำมาตั้งแต่ talk of the town ไปจน trend setter ในบางเรื่อง พูดภาษาง่ายๆว่า ทำตาม4p มาจนเอือมแล้วครับ ยืนระยะมาทุกวิกฤติการเงินการเมือง จนรู้สึกว่าพอแล้วดีกว่าเนอะ ไล่ทำตามสิ่งที่คนอื่นอยากได้ ไล่ทำตามสิ่งที่คิดว่าเป็นที่ต้องการของใครหลายๆคน คิดว่าพอแล้ว คิดมาสัก 2ปีแล้วครับ จนได้วาระสุดท้ายจริงๆ ที่ผ่านมาผม lost time ไปมากมาย ทั้งการแก้งานแบบไร้สาระ ทั้งการห้ำหั่นคู่แข่งเพื่อได้งาน ทั้งการบีบเวลาด้วยการเมืองของลูกค้าที่ต้องย่นเวลาจาก 1สัปดาห์มาเป็น1ชั่วโมงให้ได้ lost time lost energy มากครับ ทำมา 25ปี ช่วงโค้งหลังๆได้เห็นความไร้มนุษยธรรมในวงการมากขึ้นอย่างชัดเจน ผมว่า 25ปี เพียงพอที่จะเห็นกราฟอะไรบางอย่างในตัวมนุษย์จริงๆครับ ความเหี้ยมที่มากขึ้น ความ no สน no แคร์ที่รุนแรง สมัยผมยังมีคำว่าคู่ค้านะ สมัยนี้เหรอ 555555 มึงอยากได้มึงทำไปเดี๋ยวกูบรีฟมึงตอน6โมงเย็นแล้วเอางาน8โมง หรือไม่ก็ เดี๋ยวกูไปหาคนอื่นดูก่อน ถ้าพังกลับมาค่อยมาบี้กับมึงแทน จะมองให้ธรรมดาก็ได้ครับ ก็มองมาตลอด แต่มันมองได้แค่ตาข้างเดียว และผมรู้ดีว่าผมอยู่บนโลกด้วยตาข้างที่แย่ไม่ได้ ผมหลับตาข้างเดียวได้ แต่ขอหลับข้างที่แย่ดีกว่าครับ ในช่วงปีหลังนี้ผมเริ่มสลับเอาสิ่งที่อยากทำมาทำมากขึ้น เอาตัวเองเป็นหลักมากขึ้น พูดให้เห็นภาพก็คือ ขอใช้ชีวิตที่เหลือเป็นศิลปินแล้วครับ ไม่ต้องตกใจ ไม่ได้ออกเทป ไม่ได้วาดรูป ศิลปินในนิยามของผู้ทำงานศิลปะ ในแขนงของผม อาจจะเป็น ศิลปการทำอาหาร ศิลปะการสื่อสารออนไลน์ แต่ผมเพียงพอแล้วกับการทำตามโจทย์ว่ากลุ่มเป้าหมายต้องการอะไร แล้วพุ่งไปทำสิ่งนั้น สิ่งที่คิดว่าจะทำต่อไปคือ ทำในสิ่งที่อยากทำ ทำมันไปเรื่อยๆแหละ เพราะเป้าหมายคือความสุข มีคนชอบสิ่งที่เราทำแค่คนเดียว ก็รื่นรมย์แล้ว หรือไม่มีคนชอบเลยผมก็รื่นรมย์อยู่ดีเพราะได้ทำในสิ่งที่อยากทำ ผมให้เวลากับกลุ่มเป้าหมายมาทั้งชีวิต ผมจ่ายมันด้วยเวลาชีวิต ที่เอาคนอื่นมาเป็นเกณฑ์ว่าผมควรทำอะไร แต่ต่อจากนี้ไป ผมจะใช้เวลาให้กับชีวิตตัวเองครับ Spend time ให้กับตัวเอง เป็นการจ่ายที่มีคุณค่ามากที่สุดในชีวิต ผมได้เริ่มไปแล้วครับ ผม spend time กับหมูแดงฮ่องกง ที่ต้องใช้เวลาในการย่าง 3ชั่วโมง ใช้เวลาในการเตรียมของราวๆ 1ชั่วโมง ไม่รวมเรื่องหมักเรื่องอะไร การได้หมูแดงในแบบที่ผมชอบ อาจใช้เวลาเฉลี่ยถึง 5ชั่วโมงต่อแบทเทอร์ แต่ผมมีความสุขในการทำ ในการค้นหาสมุนไพรเพื่อให้ได้กลิ่นและรสในแบบที่ผมต้องการ ผม spend time กับมันตั้งแต่การเดินทางค้นหาวัตถุดิบ spend time ในการไปหาผู้อาวุโสให้เล่าเรื่องสมัยก่อน วิธีการ รวมถึงของที่ใช้แบบสมัยก่อนจริงๆ spend time ในการทดลองกินเจ้าที่อร่อยๆระดับประเทศ spend time ในการปรับจูนสูตรให้เป็นแบบที่ต้องการ กี่เวอร์ชั่นแล้วเวอร์ชั่นเล่า แทนที่จะท้อแต่ผมกลับรู้สึกสนุกไปกับมัน ผมได้ spend time กับสิ่งที่ใช้อิสระทางใจในการทำ และที่สำคัญ ผมได้กลับมา spend time กับคุณเอ๋แบบเต็มที่หลังจากที่เอา time ไปให้กับอะไรก็ไม่รู้ที่ผ่านมา ใช่คับ มันอาจมาในคราบความมั่นคง และ time ที่เหลือต่อจากนี้ไปมันอาจมีภาพที่ตอบไม่ได้ว่าจะออกหน้าไหน แต่ผมเห็นภาพที่ชัดเจนว่าอยากทำอะไร การ spend ของผมต่อจากนี้ไป โดยเฉพาะเรื่อง time ผมจะเป็นคนเลือกเองเพราะคุณค่าของ time ที่เหลือนั้นมันยิ่งทรงคุณค่าขึ้นไปเรื่อยๆ แปรผันตามความโรยรา โชคดีที่ผมได้รู้จัก บิทคอยน์ เป็นแผนรองรับ ไม่รู้จะหมู่หรือจ่า แต่ว่าผมเห็นอะไรบางอย่างในมัน หลายคนแนะนำผมว่าควรทำแบบนั้น แบบนี้ ตอนนี้ตลาดต้องการนั่นนี่ ทำไมไม่ทำสิ่งที่ตลาดต้องการ ผมก็ได้แต่ยิ้มขอบคุณในไมตรีไป แต่ในใจผมมันพอแล้วครับ 25ปี ถือว่าเพียงพอแล้ว ผมเป็นศิลปินแล้ว แม้มันจะมีโอกาสไส้แห้ง แต่ผมได้ spend time ที่มีคุณค่า กับสิ่งที่ผมรักจะทำ และ กับคนที่ผมรัก value ของ time มีมากเลยครับ GFH พุ่งพรวด (Gross Family Happiness)  เหลือก็แค่ว่า ผู้คนจะอภิเชษฎ์สิ่งที่ผม spend time ลงไปไหม และยินดีตอบรับสิ่งที่ผมทำแค่ไหน ถ้าดูจากตัววัตถุ มันอาจไม่ทรงคุณค่าะไร แต่ต้นทุนที่ผม spend ลงไป มันมากเสียเหลือเกิน ลองย้อนไปอ่านสิ่งที่ผม spend time ไว้สิครับ 55555 มันอาจไม่ได้เป็นตัวท้อปๆของไทย แต่เมื่อถึงวันที่ออกมาได้จริงๆ มันจะเป็นสิ่งที่ผมภูมิใจ หลังจากนั้นก็เหมือนกับเพลงแล้วครับ อยู่ที่ว่าคนฟังจะชอบหรือเปล่าแค่นั้นเอง เพราะเข้าใจดีว่าการที่เรา spend time ในการทำมากไม่ได้แปรผันตามกับการที่คนจะชื่นชอบ มันอาจแปรผกผันก็ได้นะ ก๊ากกก  นอกจากนี้ผมยัง spend time ให้กับหมูกรอบ ไก่เกราะ (5555 ใช่ครับไก่เกราะ หนังกรอบเนื้อนุ่ม) และอาหารอื่นๆอีกมากมายที่ผมกับเอ๋คิดและทดลองสูตรไว้เมื่อตอนโควิดซีซัน1 ต้องนั้นเรา lost time ไปกับงานโฆษณามากเหลือเกิน ตอนนี้เราสามารถเอา time เพื่อมา spend ให้กับสิ่งนี้ได้แล้ว แม้จะปัญหามากมายแต่มันก็เป็น happy problem เพราะถ้าผ่านวงการโฆษณามาได้ อะไรบนโลกนี้มันก็ง่ายแล้วครับ ถือเป็นข้อดีที่ผ่านนรกมาแล้ว ถึงตรงนี้ก็ต้องวัดกันต่อไปครับ ว่างานศิลปะชิ้นนี้ จะมี proof of work เพียงพอที่คนอื่นๆจะให้ value กับมันไหม แต่สิ่งนึงที่เป็นเหตุผลของการบันทึกเจอนี่ นี้ก็คือ อยากให้คนผ่านไปผ่านมาได้หยุดคิดว่า คุณกำลังฟุ่มเฟือยเวลาอยู่หรือเปล่า คุณ spend time กับสิ่งที่มี value เพียงพอจริงๆแล้วหรือยัง ถ้าพวกเรามองว่า time คือสิ่งมีค่า การที่เราจะ spend มันอย่างสุรุ่ยสุร่าย วันนึงมันอาจติดหนี้ของเวลาก็ได้ครับ ผมไม่ได้เล่าเรื่องนี้ในเมนสตรีม แต่ผมว่าในทุ่งม่วงนี้ มี value เพียงพอที่ผมจะ spend time with ครับ ขอจงมีสุขสวัสดิ์ เฮียเอง #siamstr #pirateketo

Example The Gladiator.   IMO there are 2 big reasons why color grading changed this way: 1. Movie studios want customers to go to the cinema. Not only do they make more money there, it also makes you more likely to get attached to the franchise (Benjamin-Franklin-Effect). The high contrast scene looks good on both your tv and the cinema - the low contrast has an advantage in theater projectors 2. Vanity. People just look better without harsh shadows. I'm personally guilty of this as well as a photographer. Probably most of you gravitate to reason 1 but don't underestimate this one

EQUALVERIFY CHECKSIG _2010-06-18 16:17:14 UTC_ - [-](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=195.msg1617#msg1617) A second version would be a massive development and maintenance hassle for me. It's hard enough maintaining backward compatibility while upgrading the network without a second version locking things in. If the second version screwed up, the user experience would reflect badly on both, although it would at least reinforce to users the importance of staying with the official version. If someone was getting ready to fork a second version, I would have to air a lot of disclaimers about the risks of using a minority version. This is a design where the majority version wins if there's any disagreement, and that can be pretty ugly for the minority version and I'd rather not go into it, and I don't have to as long as there's only one version. I know, most developers don't like their software forked, but I have real technical reasons in this case. [**Quote from: gavinandresen on June 17, 2010, 07:58:14 PM**](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=195.msg1613#msg1613) _I admire the flexibility of the scripts-in-a-transaction scheme, but my evil little mind immediately starts to think of ways I might abuse it. I could encode all sorts of interesting information in the TxOut script, and if non-hacked clients validated-and-then-ignored those transactions it would be a useful covert broadcast communication channel. That's a cool feature until it gets popular and somebody decides it would be fun to flood the payment network with millions of transactions to transfer the latest Lady Gaga video to all their friends..._ That's one of the reasons for transaction fees. There are other things we can do if necessary. [**Quote from: laszlo on June 17, 2010, 06:50:31 PM**](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=195.msg1612#msg1612) _How long have you been working on this design Satoshi? It seems very well thought out, not the kind of thing you just sit down and code up without doing a lot of brainstorming and discussion on it first. Everyone has the obvious questions looking for holes in it but it is holding up well_  Since 2007. At some point I became convinced there was a way to do this without any trust required at all and couldn't resist to keep thinking about it. Much more of the work was designing than coding. Fortunately, so far all the issues raised have been things I previously considered and planned for. ##### BitcoinTalk #### Re: On IRC bootstrapping ##### _2010-06-18 17:28:18 UTC_ - [-](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=84.msg1619#msg1619) The SVN version now uses IRC first and if that fails it falls back to a hardcoded list of seed nodes. There are enough seed nodes now that many of them should still be up by the time of the next release. It only briefly connects to a seed node to get the address list and then disconnects, so your connections drop back to zero for while. At that point, be patient. It's only slow to get connected the first time. This means TOR users won't need to -addnode anymore, it'll get connected automatically. ##### BitcoinTalk #### Re: Get 5 free bitcoins from freebitcoins.appspot.com ##### _2010-06-18 23:08:34 UTC_ - [-](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=183.msg1620#msg1620) Excellent choice of a first project, nice work. I had planned to do this exact thing if someone else didn't do it, so when it gets too hard for mortals to generate 50BTC, new users could get some coins to play with right away. Donations should be able to keep it filled. The display showing the balance in the dispenser encourages people to top it up. You should put a donation bitcoin address on the page for those who want to add funds to it, which ideally should update to a new address whenever it receives something. ##### BitcoinTalk #### Re: Bitcoin in Ubuntu 10.04 ##### _2010-06-21 17:20:21 UTC_ - [-](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149.msg1646#msg1646) [_**Quote from: NewLibertyStandard on May 23, 2010, 04:28:12 PM**_](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149.msg1203#msg1203) _Bitcoin looks ugly in Ubuntu's new default theme. It seems that some, but not all of the theme settings are being picked up. The unselected file menu should have light text with a dark background, but it incorrectly has light text with a light background. They're similar enough that it's unreadable on my display. It should be fixed before the next stable release._ This is now fixed in the SVN version. 1) Menu bar default color. 2) Balance bar not a different color. 3) Background behind bitcoin address and balance now the same color as toolbar. I checked all the standard themes and it seems reasonable with all of them. Ubuntu minimize,maximize,close buttons to the right: gconf-editor apps->metacity->general button_layout=menu:minimize,maximize,close They've got it awfully buried considering 9 out of 10 users are used to having it on the right. ##### BitcoinTalk #### Re: Dying bitcoins ##### _2010-06-21 17:48:26 UTC_ - [-](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=198.msg1647#msg1647) Lost coins only make everyone else's coins worth slightly more. Think of it as a donation to everyone. [_**Quote from: laszlo on June 21, 2010, 01:54:29 PM**_](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=198.msg1640#msg1640) _I wonder though, is there a point where the difficulty of generating a new coinbase is so high that it would make more sense to try to recover keys for lost coins or steal other people's coins instead? The difficulty of that is really high so for now it makes a lot more sense to generate but I just wonder what the real figures are.. would that ever become more productive? Maybe Satoshi can address this.._ Computers have to get about 2^200 times faster before that starts to be a problem. Someone with lots of compute power could make more money by generating than by trying to steal. ##### BitcoinTalk #### Re: Proof-of-work difficulty increasing ##### _2010-06-21 18:09:17 UTC_ - [-](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=43.msg1648#msg1648) I integrated the hashmeter idea into the SVN version. It displays khash/s in the left section of the status bar. Two new log messages: 21/06/2010 01:23 hashmeter 2 CPUs 799 khash/s 21/06/2010 01:23 generated 50.00 grep your debug.log for "generated" to see what you've generated, and grep for "hashmeter" to see the performance. On windows, use: findstr "hashmeter generated" "%appdata%itcoin\debug.log" I have the hashmeter messages once an hour. How often do you think it should be? ##### BitcoinTalk #### Re: Bitcoin in Ubuntu 10.04 ##### _2010-06-22 03:45:56 UTC_ - [-](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149.msg1653#msg1653) On Ubuntu 10.04 it wouldn't remove the taskbar button cleanly, so I made it leave it there. But now that you mention it, it's probably better to have the feature, even if it's messy, than not to have it, though it may confuse a few people when the taskbar button temporarily stays around but disappears if you click on it. Updated SVN. Thanks for testing. ##### BitcoinTalk #### 0.3 almost ready -- please test the Mac version! ##### _2010-06-22 04:01:53 UTC_ - [-](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=199.msg1654#msg1654) I finished everything on my list to do for version 0.3. The code on SVN is about ready to release. Testing at this point is much appreciated. ##### BitcoinTalk #### Re: How fast do the fastest computers generate bitcoins? ##### _2010-06-22 04:35:26 UTC_ - [-](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=197.msg1656#msg1656) I've noticed that hashing performance doesn't vary as much between CPUs as you'd expect. Compared to an old CPU, a newer CPU doesn't show as much of a speedup at hashing as it does on general benchmarks. I guess recent CPU optimizations must have concentrated on things like I/O and branch prediction.

It looks like laszlo's build of Berkeley DB has database/log.* files that are not compatible with ours. The .dat files are fine, their format shouldn't ever change. All data is stored in the .dat files. All your own data is stored in wallet.dat. If you had waited for it to redownload the block chain, your missing transactions and generateds would have appeared as the block chain reached the point where those transactions were recorded. When you copied the directory except log.0000000002, that's the best solution. You should be good now. The database/log.* files only contain temporary database data. If you exited bitcoin normally the last time, not exited by forced terminating it or crashing, then the database/log.* files can normally be deleted safely. They're only used so that if the database is in the middle of a transaction when the computer crashes or the program is killed or crashes, then it could recover without losing data. Please keep running v0.3 if at all possible, don't go back to v0.2.10. Anyone else who hits this problem, move the database\log.000000000* files somewhere else. (if it works fine after that, you can delete them later) I'm reluctant to make the installer delete or move those files. If the previous run was stopped by crashing or killed, that would be the wrong thing to do. ##### BitcoinTalk #### Re: 0.3 almost ready ##### _2010-06-22 22:23:39 UTC_ - [-](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=199.msg1686#msg1686) Laszlo figured out that enabling some more optimisation increased performance about 20%, so 0.3 hashes 20% faster than 0.2.0, but I assume he used that in his own build. 30khash increase to what total rate?

Maybe someone with more Linux experience knows how to install the library it needs. I built it on Ubuntu 10.04. I hope that wasn't a mistake. Maybe it should have been built on an older version for more backward compatibility. Is this a problem on Linux, that if you build on the latest version, then it has trouble working on older versions? Is there any way I can downgrade to an older version of GCC on 10.04? The 64-bit version shouldn't be any faster than the 32-bit version, but it would be great if someone could do a side-by-side comparison of the two linux versions and check. SHA-256 is a 32-bit algorithm and nothing in BitcoinMiner uses 64-bit at all. We don't need to bother with a 64-bit version for Windows. 32-bit programs work on all versions of Windows. It's not like Linux where the 64-bit OS wants 64-bit programs. I'm also curious if it's a little faster on linux than windows.

The 8% speedup from 32-bit Windows (2310k) to 32-bit Linux (2500k) is probably from the newer version of GCC on Linux (4.4.3 vs 3.4.5). The 15% speedup from 32-bit to 64-bit Linux is more of a mystery. The code is completely 32-bit. Hmm, I think the 8 extra registers added by x86-64 must be what's helping. That would make a significant difference to SHA if it could hold most of the 16 state variables in registers. ##### BitcoinTalk #### Re: Bitcoin clients getting k-lined from the IRC bootstrapping channel ##### _2010-06-25 21:15:15 UTC_ - [-](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=215.msg1779#msg1779) We need more details about what happened MadHatter.

If there was an app, it could be a front end to one of those, with the main feature being QR-code reader, or maybe there's already a universal QR-code reading app that web sites can be designed to accept scans from. If there was an iPhone app that was just a front end for vekja or mybitcoin, not a big involved P2P, would apple approve it and if not, on what basis? It could always be an Android app instead.

One thing we could do is lower the outbound connections from 15 to 10 or maybe even 5. The choice of 15 was arbitrary. It just needs to be enough for redundancy and fast exponential propagation of messages. 10 would still be plenty. 5 should be fine. 10 is good as a nice round number so users can see that it stopped intentionally. It would help to implement UPnP so there would be more inbound accepting nodes. Your number of connections is the ratio of inbound accepting nodes to out-only times 15. We need to encourage more people to accept inbound connections. I will implement a feature to stop accepting inbound connections once you hit a certain number. Which version are you running?

With the popularity of bitcoin addresses instead of sending by IP, we can't give the impression it's automatically anonymous. It's possible to be pseudonymous, but you have to be careful. If someone digs through the transaction history and starts exposing information people thought was anonymous, the backlash will be much worse if we haven't prepared expectations by warning in advance that you have to take precautions if you really want to make that work. Like Tor says, "Tor does not magically encrypt all of your Internet activities. Understand what Tor does and does not do for you." Also, anonymous sounds a bit shady. I think the people who want anonymous will still figure it out without us trumpeting it. I made some changes to the bitcoin.org homepage. It's not really crucial to update the translations. I tend to keep editing and correcting for some time afterwards, so if they want to update, they should wait. I removed the word "anonymous", and the sentence about "anonymity means", although you worded it so carefully "...CAN be kept hidden..." it was a shame to remove it. Instead, I added Tor instructions at the bottom, with instructions for how to stay anonymous (pseudonymous) directly after the Tor instructions: "If you want to remain anonymous (pseudonymous, really), be careful not to reveal any information linking your bitcoin addresses to your identity, and use a new bitcoin address for each payment you receive." It helps that it can now seed automatically through Tor. Even though it doesn't say anonymous until the bottom, I think anonymous seekers would already suspect it based on all the other attributes like no central authority to take your ID info and the way bitcoin addresses look. ##### BitcoinTalk #### Bitcoin 0.3 released! ##### _2010-07-06 18:32:35 UTC_ - [-](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=238.msg2004#msg2004) Announcing version 0.3 of Bitcoin, the P2P cryptocurrency!

It would have to be a country deliberately and totally cutting itself off from the rest of the world. Any node with access to both sides would automatically flow the block chain over, such as someone getting around the blockade with a dial-up modem or sat-phone. It would only take one node to do it. Anyone who wants to keep doing business would be motivated. If the network is segmented and then recombines, any transactions in the shorter fork that were not also in the longer fork are released into the transaction pool again and are eligible to get into future blocks. Their number of confirmations would start over. If anyone took advantage of the segmentation to double-spend, such that there are different spends of the same money on each side, then the double-spends in the shorter fork lose out and go to 0/unconfirmed and stay that way. It wouldn't be easy to take advantage of the segmentation to double-spend. If it's impossible to communicate from one side to the other, how are you going to put a spend on each side? If there is a way, then probably someone else is also using it to flow the block chain over. You would usually know whether you're in the smaller segment. For example, if your country cuts itself off from the rest of the world, the rest of the world is the larger segment. If you're in the smaller segment, you should assume nothing is confirmed. ##### BitcoinTalk #### Re: bitcoin 0.3 win64 - broken access to APPDATA if non-latin characters in username ##### _2010-07-09 03:01:35 UTC_ - [-](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=246.msg2077#msg2077) I think I see where the problem is.

When someone tries to buy all the world's supply of a scarce asset, the more they buy the higher the price goes. At some point, it gets too expensive for them to buy any more. It's great for the people who owned it beforehand because they get to sell it to the corner at crazy high prices. As the price keeps going up and up, some people keep holding out for yet higher prices and refuse to sell. The Hunt brothers famously bankrupted themselves trying to corner the silver market in 1979: "Brothers Nelson Bunker Hunt and Herbert Hunt attempted to corner the world silver markets in the late 1970s and early 1980s, at one stage holding the rights to more than half of the world's deliverable silver.[1] During Hunt's accumulation of the precious metal silver prices rose from $11 an ounce in September 1979 to nearly $50 an ounce in January 1980.[2] Silver prices ultimately collapsed to below $11 an ounce two months later,[2] much of the fall on a single day now known as Silver Thursday, due to changes made to exchange rules regarding the purchase of commodities on margin.[3]" [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornering_the_market](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornering_the_market) ##### ##### BitcoinTalk #### Re: bitcoin 0.3 win64 - broken access to APPDATA if non-latin characters in username ##### _2010-07-09 15:37:05 UTC_ - [-](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=246.msg2092#msg2092) I tested this with a non-lower-ASCII account name on XP and confirmed the bug, then tested that the new GetDefaultDataDir fixed it.

I do not understand most of the criticism of OpenSats. I mean, I think I do but it is couched in a lot of nonsense about secrecy and lack of transparency. I wonder if its sour grapes mostly. People that were not funded. People that are jealous. I dunno. It bugs me. I'm not saying OpenSats is perfect but its just one of several orgs that support projects. Every time I hear an uneducated and unfair criticism of it I wanna say, "go do it better and show us how its done". One of my biggest pet peeves is when people infantalize themselves or others. People choose to give to OpenSats. People are capable of reading their web site, looking at the projects they support and deciding if they would rather donate directly to devs/projects or not donate at all. There are many non-profits in the world. MANY of them I would never give any money to. It is insane to me to throw rocks at one that is supporting good things. I'm not saying they are above criticism but the criticism should be fair, informed, and logical. I see very little that fit that mold. If you have a problem with someone doing at least some good, your message is easier to take if you aren't petty and unfair in your criticism. Criticism is needed and has massive value but many seem to suck at creating the valuable kind.

        Recently, I shared some of my memories from Odessa, a city that truly captured my heart. Today, I’m adding even more photos to give you a glimpse into this vibrant and historic city. Odessa is a port city on the Black Sea, known for its stunning architecture, including the Odessa Opera and Ballet Theater. The city was founded by Catherine II in 1794 and quickly became a major cultural and economic center. I had the opportunity to explore Odessa’s many neighborhoods, from the bustling city center to the quieter beaches. I was particularly impressed by the city’s unique blend of Ukrainian, Russian, and Greek influences. Odessa is a city that has something to offer. Whether you’re interested in history, architecture, or simply relaxing on the beach, Odessa is a place you won’t forget. I hope you enjoyed these additional photos of Odessa.

I just got a new pair of sandals yesterday. I usually get a 13 but this brand (Birkenstock) had me at 11. They hurt my feet. I got on their website and there was a good FAQ. The best part was about how the sandal facilitates a certain way of walking they call "rolling the toes", but it's really that old stalking technique, weight on back foot, front foot weightless, find a quiet place to set down the leading foot. So I have done this a lot when bowhunting deer and squirrels. But it was not my habitual gait because of having somewhere I must go. I decided to buy into the new habit of walking like the sandals were trying to tell me. I wiped Fixin Wax on all the leather straps and set the sandals out in the very strong sunlight today. I don't know if it was the leather treatment or "rolling the toes" but now i'm in this brand new habit.

## Introduction If you've ever wondered how big corporations, governments, and media giants manage to influence public perception so effectively, it's time you met Edward Bernays. Often called the **"father of public relations,"** his work continues to shape our world. This write up will introduce you to Bernays and his book **"Propaganda,"** explaining how his strategies are still relevant and widely used today. ## Who Was Edward Bernays? He was a major pioneer in public relations and propaganda as we know them today. The nephew of Sigmund Freud, Bernays had a unique perspective on human psychology, which he leveraged to create compelling messages that resonated deeply with the public. His career began during World War I, where he played an instrumental role with the US government shape public opinion about the war, in particular war bonds to help fund the USA's involvement in the war. He was so successful with that initiative, that after the war he decided to apply his skills to various other fields, including business, politics, and social causes, playing a major role in influencing public opinion at scale. ### A Master Manipulator Bernays believed that the ***"conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society."*** He introduced the idea of an **"invisible government"** made up of influential individuals and organizations that guide public opinion. This concept is crucial for understanding how modern propaganda works. ## The Playbook: "Propaganda" In 1928, Bernays published **"Propaganda,"** a small, relatively short book that candidly lays out his methods for shaping public opinion. Let's take a little dive into each chapter: ### Chapter I: Organizing Chaos Bernays starts off asserting that democratic societies require the manipulation of public opinion to function smoothly. He writes, ***"We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of."*** This invisible government, composed of elites, directs the masses through strategic communication. ### Chapter II: The New Propaganda Bernays discusses the evolution of propaganda, highlighting how new technologies like newspapers, radio, and telegraphs (cinema, television, internet, mobile phones) have expanded its reach. He emphasizes the necessity of responsible use of these tools, as they hold significant power to influence public opinion. ### Chapter III: The New Propagandists Bernays introduces the key players behind modern propaganda: 1. public relations professionals, 2. advertisers, 3. and political consultants. These individuals, often operating behind the scenes, have significant power over societal trends and behaviors. He explains that these propagandists are ***"specialists in interpreting enterprises and ideas to the public and in interpreting the public to the promulgators of new enterprises and ideas."*** ### Chapter IV: The Psychology of Public Relations Drawing on psychological theories, Bernays explains how understanding human motivations enhances propaganda's effectiveness. He stresses the importance of appealing to emotions and subconscious desires, rather than just presenting logical arguments. This chapter underscores the need for a deep understanding of mass psychology to successfully influence public opinion. ### Chapter V: Business and the Public Bernays examines the relationship between businesses and the public, stating that companies must actively manage their public image. He discusses various techniques, such as publicity stunts, to strategic partnerships, all to shape public perception. He also highlights the role of corporate social responsibility in building trust and goodwill with the target audience. ### Chapter VI: Propaganda and Political Leadership In this chapter, Bernays explores the use of propaganda in politics. He explains how political leaders and parties use public relations techniques to gain and maintain power, emphasizing the importance of media manipulation and compelling narratives. He also touches on the ethical challenges of political propaganda, advocating for transparency and honesty. Which we all know, is the absolute standard these days, right? ### Chapter VII: Women’s Activities and Propaganda Bernays discusses how women’s movements and consumer habits have been influenced by propaganda. He explains how advertisers target women, recognizing their significant influence on household purchasing decisions. This chapter highlights specific aspects of propaganda and its role in shaping social norms. ### Chapter VIII: Propaganda for Education Bernays says that propaganda can be a powerful tool for educational purposes. He discusses how public relations techniques can promote educational initiatives and foster public support for different kinds of reforms. Effective communication and engaging storytelling are crucial for successful educational propaganda. ### Chapter IX: Propaganda in Social Service This chapter explores the use of propaganda in social services, such as healthcare and public welfare. Bernays points out how public relations campaigns can raise awareness and mobilize support for social programs, using successful examples to show the potential for positive social change to really make that connection with the target audience. ### Chapter X: Art and Science Bernays examines how propaganda can promote cultural and scientific (or medical?) achievements. He argues that effective communication is essential for advancing public appreciation of art and science. The challenge lies in making complex ideas accessible to the general public. ### Chapter XI: The Mechanics of Propaganda In the final chapter, Bernays provides a detailed overview of the techniques and strategies used in propaganda. He explains the importance of research, planning, and execution in creating successful public relations campaigns. Bernays emphasizes the need for continuous evaluation and adaptation to maintain effectiveness. He writes, "***The counsel on public relations must maintain constant vigilance, because inadequate information, or false information from unknown sources, may have results of enormous importance."*** Or perhaps, results of enormous negative consequences? ## The Relevance Today Edward Bernays' strategies remain highly relevant in today's world. I might even dare to say, a modern [Machiavelli](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niccol%C3%B2_Machiavelli). Corporations, governments, and media organizations continue to use his techniques to shape public opinion and control narratives. Here are a few ways his strategies are still in play: ### Big Tech and Social Media Algorithms curate the information you see, subtly influencing your worldview. Social media platforms use data-driven strategies to keep you engaged, often without your conscious awareness. ### Corporate Marketing From influencer partnerships to viral campaigns, businesses use sophisticated public relations tactics to create demand and shape consumer behavior. Bernays' principles of emotional appeal and subconscious influence are evident in modern advertising. ### Political Campaigns Political parties use media manipulation, targeted ads, and strategic messaging to sway public opinion. Election cycles are prime examples of Bernays' theories in action, with campaigns meticulously crafted to appeal to voters' emotions and biases. ## Conclusion Edward Bernays' **"Propaganda"** offers timeless insights into the art and science of influencing public opinion. By understanding his methods, you can better navigate the modern media landscape and recognize the subtle forces shaping your perceptions. They are relentless. Stay curious, stay informed, and always question the narratives. Next time you encounter a news story, advertisement, political message, or even a post from an "influensooorr" remember Bernays and ask yourself: Who is behind this message, and what are they trying to achieve? I hope you find the time to [dive into the book](https://cdn.satellite.earth/0a045b30de5d3a536da8721a73d84dcd22a769d9c4ce7f2f71be74440d8c5bb7.pdf) some day, and I hope this writeup helps you get there. -- Bernays, Edward. Propaganda. 1928.

My sister, cousin, and I joined 75,000 protesters earlier this month in holding up a red banner marked with the names of Palestinian martyrs around the treasury building and white house in washington dc to signify the "People's Red Line" crossed by israel's invasion of Rafah.  After holding up the red line, we made our way to a nearby park where the organizers held a "People's Court" to try israel and the u.s. for war crimes. We shared a collective cry as we listened to heart wrenching testimonies sent in by Gazan families of Palestinian organizers about the nightmare they are enduring. As this was happening, israel killed another 274 Palestinians in a raid on the Nuseirat refugee camp. The notification across my screen felt like a punishment for our activism and reminded me that the bureaucrats are not listening.  I was initially discouraged to see a lower turnout than the march on washington I attended last November, where 300,000 folks arrived to denounce the united states' unconditional support of the Palestinian genocide. I can't say I didn't anticipate it, though. Wage slaves have to eat, and paid time off to protest about things they care about is a luxury few CEO's in this world provide for them. Adding to this is the brutal suppression of dissenting voices worldwide. Groups like [Within Our Lifetime](https://wolpalestine.com/) are kneecapped by outright [censorship and bans from corporate social media platforms.](https://www.jpost.com/bds-threat/article-786636)Not to mention, the u.s. government is [forcing a sale of Tik Tok to a former u.s. treasury secretary with ties to mossad](https://apnews.com/article/tiktok-mnuchin-house-senate-ffdf37776e63a09bb6966d741df7093b). Palestine is an anti-colonial struggle that inspired so many of us to organize for change, yet we've managed to spend the last 8 months funding their genocide with our consumption tax dollars and scrolling through pictures of dead babies and leveled cities. Why have activists failed to push western governments to materialize any sort of timely, meaningful shifts in foreign policy? I think part of it has to do with the tools we are using. Like Malcolm X said, we're not outnumbered; we're outorganized.  For one, we are letting these tech CEO's off way too easy. The [spotlight is increasingly being pointed at corporate social media giants](https://apnews.com/article/surgeon-general-social-media-mental-health-df321c791493863001754401676f165c) for conducting a mass behavioral health experiment on the masses. These centralized platforms bombard users with morally outrageous content and advertisements while working with the state to suppress dissenting voices. Antagonizing algorithms polarize public discourse and keep us at each others throats, preventing any sort of mass peace movement from building power. Places like Europe have a whole framework of data rights protections for users that is nonexistent in the Americas. The corporate communication apparatus we organize with freezes the political process and manufactures consent for genocide. Was it Noam Chomskey who said, "the media defines what's possible"...? By the way, he's not dead yet. How else do you think Trump was able to organize his base to attempt a coup on Jan 6th? He paid someone to build his own communications apparatus in the form of a social media platform, Truth Social, on an open protocol called ActivityPub, a predecessor to Nostr. [Meridith Whittaker, the president of the Signal Foundation, explains in a recent article **that you should read if you are an activist**,](https://lpeproject.org/blog/social-media-authoritarianism-and-the-world-as-it-is/) > The Right has a point. In that they understand social media platforms as critical infrastructure capable of shaping and distorting our shared information ecosystem, and they recognize that controlling how this ecosystem is “distorted” is a better use of their time — in pursuit of power and influence — than trying to create a magic formula that can “democratize” or “balance” the influence these platforms exert. The few I hear with similar critiques include OGs like Chairman Yeshitela, who, alongside 3 other members of the People's Afrikan Socialist Party, is currently fighting bogus charges by the u.s. federal government for conspiring with the Russians in sowing dissent in u.s. elections. The FBI violently [raided their properties in 2022 without any sort of warrant and before any formal charges had been filed.](https://www.democracynow.org/2022/8/10/black_socialist_chairman_fbi_raid_response) Contrast this with the recent raid on Mar-a-Lago where not a single flash grenade was used. He explains in [a 2023 interview on Democracy Now! that](https://www.democracynow.org/2023/6/9/omali_yeshitela_fbi) > We have to move beyond protest and move toward the question of capturing and yielding political power.  As activists, we have to be brave enough to realize that what we are doing is not producing our desired results and pivot to new strategies. Open internet protocols are a **must have** in any activist's toolbox if they are serious about social change. Start with a simple internet search, and start building. I currently run a small relay that I use to introduce my community to nostr. I've spun up [a diaspora instance](https://discourse.diasporafoundation.org/) for my close friends and family in the past as well. While this tech is accessible, it requires you to take some time to learn about the landscape of alternative social media protocols and how the Internet works. You could always reach out via the contact form on my website at https://miguelalmodo.com for more information or questions about how to get started! My choice of social media is my way of preventing the monetization of my attention and digital footprint by the corpo-state consent factory that defines our current political realities. It's an step in reclaiming your digital sovereignty and empowering your base with an un-suppressible voice on the internet. A liberated fifth estate built on open protocols could channel people power into material improvements within our lifetimes. It's why I boycott the corporate tech platforms and why you should too. edit: I realized after I published this that truth social was launched in Feb of 2022, a year AFTER Jan 6 2021. I insinuated that Jan 6 was organized on truth social which is not the case. By making the connection here, I wish to bring to light the power open internet protocols have in sustaining a cult of personality behind someone like trump. If activists and organizations leveraged the same tech to organize their base, it would bring people together in a way that could manifest the amount of people power needed to overthrow the influence of capital in political processes and allow for real democracy to shape our outcomes.
