Ok #nostr, help me out, my #travel plans have changed for this week, and I have to drive back to #Providence #RI to catch a flight tomorrow morning. I need a good dinner tonight, any recommendations on where to go? #foodstr #newengland

What happens to low level drug dealers in #America (the home grown types) if cartels are classified as terrorist organizations? If the #USA declares war on them... does the neighborhood pusher goto #Gitmo? #thoughtoftheday

Thank you. Anytime I get into some of these discussions I try to level set the playing field and tell people exactly how it really is. It may not surprise you to learn that most people have an unrealistic and irrational fear of #America about gun violence - that it is rampant everywhere you go. I've actually had people say that they would love to visit here but they are too frightened to come.

2024-12-01 20:42:22

Caught an #Uber from Brussels #BRU airport to Genk today. Was unexpectedly surprised that my driver, an immigrant to Europe from Djibouti (10 years), was ultra #MAGA.. usually when folks (drivers) learn I'm coming from #America, the conversation usually steers towards politics and quite often gun control (most support very stringent controls up to and including confiscation), but this time around in #Europe the sentiments were quite positive for the future of the world after our election. #travel #nostr #politics

Although I refuse to cast a ballot this (s)election for obvious reasons, I will be voting. In an effort to fight against the global banking slavery scheme I will be buying #Bitcoin every hour, on the hour on #election day.

My morning thoughts from 19 May 2024 ....
Wisdom and understanding revealed themselves to me today,
Birds were vocal in the new heat of the morning sun,
The rain has subsided for now and
young plants will drink up the surplus for roots to seek deeper parts,
It's a glorious light out that no other light can match,
Solid bars of light and shadow manifest on the table before me,
Alive in every shade, and inside the empty bottle,
The residue of leftover water droplets is a universe of stars wanting to expand beyond its artificial barrier,
A vase of flowers a testament to the life it can bring,
And all I have are these clusters of thought that oftentimes trouble me,
Yes I will begin to build the canopy today, maybe.

Perceiving a 3-D object as 2-D does not make the object 2-D. That was my point, truth is not subjective. You are confusing perception with reality.

Since you did ask the question, yes you are free to believe whatever you like, but please don't confuse that with truth. or reality. Truth is not subjective... no matter how forcefully people try to convince you of that.

Yes, I'm referring the @ address. People have them listed in their bio, and there are several domains that offer the 'service' of setting up the NIP-05 identity... but now it seems useless.

2024-05-26 02:17:12

Can someone explain to me why I should want a 'nostr address'? Most all of them are dead links or they take you to a landing page for the domain. What useful purpose does this serve? #nostraddress #nostr

Bitcoin 101 - Lesson 1: Every dollar brought into existence was brought into existence by debt. This means that every dollar in existence has interest owed on it.
The aforementioned debt is directly tied to the cumulative economic effort, or output, of every individual to pay that interest.
til;dr - the current financial system is designed to create debt slaves.

2022-12-21 21:12:04

I read an earlier post that, ‘for now keys are burnable as we learn and muddle through the system.’ I question that. Isn’t it reasonable that we would be able to keep our public and private keys for as long as #nostr is an accepted protocol? #introductions #bitcoin

2022-12-21 15:27:57

Hello #bitcoin #nostr, newcomers like myself #introductions, how long did it take for you to become a Bitcoin maximalist (if you are) after you got into #crypto? For me it was 6 months.

Step 5: right click ON THE IMAGE, click "copy image address"
Step 6: Go to astral & paste in settings

Thanks, is one better than the other? My public key with astral was just a string of numbers, my private key with Damus begins with npub, Which is consistent with the most other ones I’ve seen?

2022-12-20 19:49:29

need clarity, set up an account on astral yesterday and got a set of keys, astral is buggy and I’m having trouble with that, came to Damus and set up an account and got a separate set of keys. Is there anyway to reconcile these two and have one set of keys for the protocol? what am I missing?
