Why won’t miners support a fork that increases the total supply of bitcoin to maintain block subsidies? I feel like its because it hurts the main value proposition of the thing they are mining, but is there anything else that might dissuade miners from a move
like this in the future?

Note, I left asian and pacific islander out because thats pretty on par with US racial demographics

Rare politically charged post Rudy Nutstink.
Where is race rage on the demographics of home buyers in 2023? The singular US policy to help middle class families save is investing in a home. Everything else is fairly out of reach and risky. And they have made that savings vehicle so unaffordable they are effectively cutting people who are black and hispanic out of this one hope of storing value. The wealth disparity among races will not shrink, and will in fact grow because of this. And the government will not shoulder the blame for this horrendous policy when all is said and done.

Ah typo, do *not* put your hope and trust in anything but Christ

2024-03-31 11:45:12

Reminder that bitcoin is quite the creation, but do you not put your hope and trust in anything but your Creator. Christ is risen, he has conquered death.
”For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.“
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭8‬-‭10‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Welp I think my sportstr app got banned from a relay. Probably bc my relay connection methods are pretty abusive. Need to go back to the drawing board I think 😔

2024-03-27 15:47:04

KYC on thoughts was always the end game. Also idk if nostr fixes this. I guess it makes it harder to enforce, but these clients aren’t gonna be so accessible on your favorite app store.

A complete tragedy in Baltimore with the bridge collapse.
But I don’t think it’s wrong to immediately demand answers why a bridge in one of the most highly trafficked bays in America couldn’t handle a barge hitting it without a total collapse.

Thats a great story and I think individual stories are not without their own merit. But I am talking about the large majority of the next generation. And my claim isn’t even that their test scores are lower, or their behaviors are erratic and unacceptable (which they are). They lack basic intuition on almost anything. They have all had their dopamine receptors fried by age 4 and can’t muster any level of interest in understanding something that isn’t immediately apparent to them. We have overwhelmed our children with path of least resistance and now they don’t know anything outside of that.
Good parenting at home has been the only thing that is saving children from this really doomish future. But it’s surprisingly a lot smaller of a cohort than you would think.
These are definitely judgements, but its what I have been able to gather watching my wife teach in the public school system these last few years. Covid lockdowns did a number on our society.

“Rudy, Mint shuts down on Ma‍rch 23, 2024.*
Now’s the time to make your move to Credit Karma. By doing so, you can keep your entire net worth history, all of your Mint transactions and your supported account connections – that’s history you don’t want to lose.”
Credit Karma bought all of my financial data, not the mint app.

I think with most nascent technology, the user experience lacks and can be quite rough around the edges. The nostr network is very young but onto something good. Clients like the primal app have bridged major gaps in the experience and so its just going to take great engineers to build a better experience.
For tiktok, a client that resembles that same style of scrollable video feed would be a great start to make the newcomers stick, and I would bet someone is already hitting the ground running on that.
But really for users of the network, its just going to take a lot willpower until those upgrades come. Its a very grassroots movement and if you are lucky enough to hang with it through that time, you will see something really amazing grow. Just gonna take time!

2024-03-20 02:41:04

Not buying that the tiktokers are here and are just loving it way way more than tiktok. Lets not be naive.
Happy if we get even 10% of newcomers from anywhere to stick on the first try.

I can actually keep the current rss feed sources. I think I might just use espn’s api for score updates, starting rosters, league standings update, etc.

2024-03-19 15:23:58

Okay no one told me espn’s api for literally everything is 100% free why tf am I using fox sports rss feeds

2024-03-19 11:25:10

Is there a telegram or something where I can ask other nostr devs things? I think I am onto a really good idea

2024-03-19 02:49:31

- reply

Some possible solutions to this:
A whitelist deal? Reach out to a popular paid relay (cough cough 🍷) and ask them for free lifetime connection if the lightning address for zaps goes to their wallet. Now they can make these content bots a part of the suite of content you get when you connect?
But this creates centralization… oi

2024-03-19 02:46:12

- reply

On one hand, this adds costs to spam bots thus limiting their reach and probably how things should be.
On another hand, my little bot friends that bring me content, will be just that. Only for me, bc it otherwise will cost me $10 per bot per year to get them on a paid relay. I know its not much, but its not a cost I am willing to volunteer just to unlock the value for everyone else.

2024-03-19 02:42:53

I had read that a paid relay gets content more engagement and reach and I don’t fully understand why. But @npub180c…h6w6's experiment obviously displays thats difference.
I am torn how I feel about it.

The creator of nostr @npub180c…h6w6 has also done work in the bitcoin community. Lots of bitcoiners are the open source contributors to these clients and have even took implementing features like “zaps” which are micropayments denominated in sats (smallest bits of bitcoins) paid over the lightning network (instant and feeless)
You can zap someone as small as 1 sat (fraction of a cent) if you like.

I think news/articles if anything. I am big into fantasy football and its been tough keeping up with off season moves away from twitter.

I follow them and its sort of okay. A lot more soccer than anything else. I want to keep up with news like NFL offseason moves. Still a good follow though.

Does anyone run an American sports relay? I loved twitter for keeping up with NFL, NBA, MLB, and college sports news.

2024-03-13 14:04:00

It feels like just last week we were all horned up about eNuts. Slick UI, even cooler use of a demo server that they don’t control as the default mint.
Maybe I have my facts wrong, either way the optics on this sucks ass.

You also trust your hardware device’s secure element. And you trust its generating a seed phrase with *actual* randomness. And you also trust someone else’s node. And you also trust your not being MITM attacked on a deposit.
And this may not all apply to you and we are all learning. But believe it or not, there’s a lot of trust still existing in the hold your own keys camp.
Coinbase Custody offers a really secure institutional product, but yeah these funds should absolutely be looking at where there are still gaps in that security and how they can improve. Solely holding their own keys would scare the absolute shit out of me though.

So when I downloaded daisy and accessed my nostr account with my priv key, I had nothing. But as soon as I started adding relays I had on damus, everything populated and my experiences were similar.
I think you could load a different set of relays on iris.to and have your experiences there be a bit different than what you have here on damus.

I think the fun in all of this is seeing in practice that this isn’t your damus account, its your nostr account. And these settings can be changed on any nostr client, and then are reflected everywhere else.
