It's an evolution thing - both Darwinian, and spiritual, I'd wager.
Example: the immediate physiological reward from sugar - we just discovered and consumed an intense and highly available form of energy. Good.
But that used to require sticking one's hand into a beehive, or cutting a hole in a maple tree and waiting (etc.), and so we never evolved to process large sugar intake in a healthy way.
Yet it's readily available, everywhere, always. The animal brain wants more. That's natural.
The spiritual (call it what you will) evolution requires disintangling one's action from those desires (and fears), to instead move from a place of self/mindfulness/balance.
We're all still in school 🧘‍♂️

What kind of architecture do you do, if you don't mind my asking? It was one of my "possible paths" when i was younger, but i ended up taking a different road. It's always struck me as a really cool line of work!

Lol
After exploring this hashtag for a sold 30 mins last week, i kind of figured that out.
Is it used for getting your content in front of like-minded users, or just more for meeting other bitcoiners?

2024-04-28 00:38:11

Hey Nostr rockstars 🤘
It's been a few days since i logged on, but been following recent developments via the likes of Citadel Dispatch and RHR on zap.stream so i guess that counts.
The Samourai Wallet news hit me hard. I largely steered clear of the drama over the years, and i can't speak to whether they broke any laws.
But they built a tool that hundreds - if not thousands - of human rights activists and freedom fighters used to protect their families' privacy and safety. If law enforcement does deanonymize these users' transactions (and I fear that they will), it is incumbent upon them to carefully guard (ie encrypt or destroy) that data. I'm not optimistic.
We must defend our own privacy if we are tk havy any...Let us proceed together apace. Onward.

I'm trying to get more comfortable using hashtags here. They have often seemed a bit superficial to me, at least wth previous social media systems... But, as a way to find and organize content, I see the utility of it.
So here goes:
What are some hashtags thst you recmmend a new user to follow?

America promises to sell weapons to the oil-producing nations of the middle east, in exchange for these nations to refuse any curremcy except dollars for theif oil, forcing the rest of the world to demand dollars with which to buy energy.
At least, that's the gist as I understand it :/

Yessss! One last ask and then it's perfect. Could they be "laser beam" style shooting forward (kind of like your pfp)? Zapping anyway for the work so far ❤️

This is amazing!! May I request two tweaks? I'm partial to the more sepia/antique color scheme of the original image, and while I'm a full-time believer in "don't trust verify," I kind of prefer it as just the graphic (unless the text is your watermark which is totally fair). Thanks for doing this, M!!

What are the vibes like on Nostr, say, on Monday or a weekday vs the weekend? Does it change? Is it busier during certain periods?

Ok, guess that makes sense. I'd have guessed a mobile node like phoenix would be pretty well-connected, but im still figuring out how it all works under the hood

2024-04-15 02:11:43

Is it just me or does Mutiny Wallet have a hard time sending or receiving more than small lightning payments under like 1K sats?

I tried joining Freedom One, but have yet to receive the channel opening payment so I'm feeling less trusty, more verify-y at the moment

2024-04-14 22:21:33

Tried to open a decent-sized channel on my new Mutiny wallet. Lightning Payment from Phoenix has been pending for 30 minutes... No sats in mutiny. What's up?

2024-04-14 22:08:54

- reply

Mutiny node connectivity issues? I feel like it's usually that when multiple users can't connect to a LSP sort of thing... Right?

2024-04-14 22:02:29

- reply

Gotcha. I just tried to send about 1M SATs from Phoenix tonmynnew mutiny acct via lightning but it hasn't reflected any change. Is it waiting for a channel confirmation? If so, it would be good to indicate that to the user waiting for his funds to arrive ;)

2024-04-14 21:38:40

- reply

Sounds good. I typically go in skeptical-but-open-minded, so I appreciate the content

2024-04-14 21:33:29

Can anyone animate tiny little laser eyes onto my PFP? Will pay a lightning QR invoice (or zap invoice if I can get that figured out) if someone can make them look sick

2024-04-14 21:27:21

- reply

It also looks like a lightning address is only available to paid users, which I'm definitely gonna do but I would imagine is friction for new nostr users... Or is there another way to send and receive zaps using Mutiny without the paid test flight configuration?

2024-04-14 21:24:35

Thanks - will give it a watch

2024-04-14 21:22:13

Lol sounds great
I'm looking at the "freedom one" federation which looks recommended by tony, Odell, Ben, and a couple of other familiar faces so let's go with that...

2024-04-14 20:42:49

- reply

OK thanks - I've listened to a handful of interviews with Tony and Ben on CD & bitcoin.review and they don't seem like type to rug social media account handles lol
And mutiny the wallet is completely open source right? Not that I could review the code but presumably a handful of people here have

2024-04-14 20:13:02

Is it safe to put my private key into Mutiny to set up a wallet that is automatically connected to my nostr account?

2024-04-14 20:03:25

I have a phoenix wallet but not seeing how to connect it... Looks like a lot of people use Alby but that's wait listed (and custodial). What do you guys recommend?

I'm curious about this one. I love and appreciate the benefits of eating meat as a large percentage of one's diet, but I don't get the "veggies are bad" argument. Humans haven't evolved - physically - beyond a state where our diet consisted of meat, nuts, fruit, leaves/bark_ and vegetables. I DO completely see the toxicity of "meat substitutes" and all the nasty stuff they're preserved and cooked in. But if your food came from actual nature it's probably fine. Beyond beef? Definitely a shitcoin. But a carrot in your beef stew? Sounds pretty grounded and well balanced (also yum) to me

2024-04-14 19:38:57

Okay got it. Thanks again! Once I'm more familiar with amethyst in general I'll check out coracle. Any other clients you would recommend?

2024-04-14 18:45:52

- reply

Sweet - does Coracle "ask" Amethyst for these details? Or do my relays store the info?

2024-04-14 18:08:58

- reply

Cool I'll definitely check it out. If I log into coracle with this same profile will it remember/recognize all my account settings and stuff?

2024-04-14 18:06:20

- reply

Thanks! Looks like i followed you already lol

2024-04-14 02:24:29

New Nostr who dis?
For real though, Amethyst looks awesome, but it's a bit overwhelming... I followed a bunch of people and some of their followers so far.
How do I find conversations or microcommunities built around specific interests, niches, etc.? Can I use relays, or hashtags, for this?
I like music (nearly all kinds), hiking, skiing, reading, bitcoin, martial arts, good movies and tv, yoga and meditation, craft beer and fine wine, economics, traveling, and art (especially traditional Japanese and Mongolian painting/calligraphy). And probably some other stuff, but this should do the trick for now.
Happy to be here!
