Just found out;
Fountain desktop allows for nostr sign-in with Nostr signing browser extension (I use nos2x).

Just found out Damus supports Alby wallet.

Do I understand correctly that to send and receive zaps on Nostr I always need to fill in my personal information and can’t connect a wallet like Phoenix yet?

Aah gotcha! Yea I agree completely. But there’s a lot of software development between current state and ‘should’. I for one can’t do it myself. I’ve been building a product that let normies like me leverage LLM’s. And I see how quickly a roadmap gets bloated. I’ll just have a bit of patience here 😅. But I am very excited for these features in the future!
I still keep getting stuck on the fountain login though. Is gmail not possible or something?

2024-08-15 15:37:05

- reply

Ah I kind of was just hoping for it to be possible and have been having the biggest trouble signing in through email at all. Im really trying (tried over 10 times over two months and just never get to try the app 😕).
Any tips are welcome.
Im not entirely sure what you mean by the last part you mentioned. Could you elaborate?

2024-08-15 14:58:26

Why can't I use Nostr to login to Fountain? 🤨

Ideas for llm apps when tooling matures (or you/me build it)
- instant public access to all government and political actors published text and audio

Agreed. Can’t wait for the Nostr filter that filters out any of the (soft)porn ladies. Insta influencers included. I just want to see real life beauties that act normal and have clothes on, and the explicitly sexy stuff exclusively from my partner. Non of this online crap that hooks the monkey brain.
Total tangent but young women need better examples of what they can bring to the world too - other than their beauty.
This makes me so happy to see awesome mothers and absolute powerhouses like @npub1a2c…w83a, Cathy Wood and Gwynn Shotwell.

Not being part of the UN or consistently telling it to eat shit is a major + for any state I consider moving to. Coming from a European that know he needs to get out in the next couple of years.
Ideally I’d fight for the nice society Im from but every smart person I know has a good degree of mind virus infections. I move in a university educated bubble and rarely to never hear someone with some antibodies to these virusses.
Should I be fighting for the society or just position myself so I can rapidly get my family and friends out when real shit hits the fan like in the UK? I have a real hard time to see any hope for these societies at this point. At least until the next wars and/or revolutions have ended and we can rebuild.

🫂 Right back at you!
I totally agree that the wars, in the classical sense of the word, definitely look like what you describe.
I agree with what you say, we should probably define that broader form of 'strife' or 'power projection' as put in the book Softwar by another word and not opfuscate the word war.
Totally agree we'd all be a HELL of a lot better off if it's stopped. As long as it's not stopped through the means of some all-encompassing tyranny or world government.

2024-08-09 18:17:31

Yea you’re right. I could have been way more precise. Bit to loose and unclear from my side. Apologies.
My point is more that war isn’t only when people and weapons are fighting other people with weapons. It’s also when one country entices another country to go into debt with them. Or when a bunch of hackers attack energy grids.
It just looked like saying fuck war just isn’t very helpful, even though I definitely hate it as much as the next Bitcoiner.
The thought came from the idea that all life forms strive to expand until they run into some sort of limiting factor. Societies seem to do the same. The limiting factor on one front, for humans/societies, seem to be land used by other societies, thus we always have strife/power projection/war on that plain. And that plain is always limited making war (defensive or offensive) necessary to protect ‘your’ life form.
Perhaps the problem that we currently organize under states that can fiat us into war and fund them. Which exacerbates the problem enormously. And perhaps we can indeed progress to a softwar state where physical war is impossible to fund/ execute on. I definitely hope to see it.
We’re probably on the same page with the idea behind ‘fuck war’, I just wanted to give a tiny poke to do a little better. Just like you seem to do with your comment to me (thank you).
Because whatever way we cut it, we might not be interested in war, but war is interested in us, our families and our friends.

War is a broad spectrum and the forms of physical power projection is just covers a section of it. From that perspective it sounds like saying 'fuck photosynthesis'.

I get where you’re coming from but just the fact I get a kitchen that enables me to avoid food soaked in vegetable oils is easily worth it. But yea, quality is declining here and there. On the other hand, I also see a lot of airbnbs being operated more like hotels which gets rid of some of the problems for sure

2024-08-08 01:58:27

Guess how much taxes are on Air Travel to Europe. Man do I despise the states I was born in. I was totally surprised it is this bad. At this point a thorough war or crisis can only make things better.
I wish it won't cost us another generation of good men to be led to slaughter. Let's hope our slight of hand will work. #BTC #NOSTR

Pfoeh, you’re describing many dynamics I’m experiencing and feeling. I see this more from bitcoiners although I’ve had a hard time making new friends among bitcoiners. I know they’re there but most times I go to meetups and conferences its majority ngu audience as far as I can tell. My approach is undoubtedly to blame but besides upping the input I don’t know exactly how my approach is wrong 😓

2024-07-30 16:40:20

Its funny how I thought healthcare in Europe was crazy good. Turns out its actually horrible. I pay insurance in The Netherlands only to wait until I go back to Colombia to simply pay for it and get 10x the quality of care. No rush, attention to detail and honest communication. Non of which I’ve ever experienced in NL. And yes it’s still at least 3x cheaper than The Netherlands. Where the insurance just starts covering things after you spend 500-750 or something. These things just keep astonishing me.

Ah I see my risk would be paying 70% more for things in the near future. If I manage to keep it safe for 4yrs + I would have enormous upside. That’s kind of what that game looks like to me.

2024-07-01 16:04:02

How is this a dumb idea: have your emergency fund in btc calculated by the current 4yr average price instead of spot.
What do you think?
Example: I spend 1500 fiat points a month and want 9 months emergency fund but don’t want it to sit there evaporating. So I keep 1500*9=13.5k
Current spot price: 58600
Current 4yr average: 33196
So I take 13.5k / 33.1k = 40660000 satoshis
Which, at todays spot price, would cost me
0.4066*58600= 23826 fiat tokens to have a 9 month reserve at (almost) all times. But, I get to hold it in Bitcoin.
Im very curious to hear how this could bite me - other than the scenario where my income disappears all at once and the bitcoin price dumps below the 4yr average like it did with covid.

You know what is surprising to me? There’s no AI product with a database of what all politicians of a country ever said and make it searchable. At least non that have gone viral. When do you think politicians and scientists will find out anyone will be able to scrutinize anything 10000x faster, easier, deeper and broader.
That’ll be a banger. My hypothesis is that it is too dangerous for normal entrepreneurs and it would need decentralization to withstand the pressures attacks it would face. Biggest challenge there is decentralization of the inference compute. Once we cross the point where a llama3 can run on a relatively large portion of consumer devices it could work. Unfortunately not possible to do a difficulty adjustment there 🥲.
This idea has been bouncing around in my head and I wanted to invite you to take a crack at it. What do you think?

Does anyone here know of a project maintaining an open-access repository of content for BTC education? I’m thinking everything from Mises books to podcast transcriptions, articles etc.
I want to add it to what we’re building:
Generative AI BTC Tutor with the following components:
- Map of BTC knowledge to acquire
- Effective learning paths to cover the right knowledge at the right time
- Evaluation engine (dig deeper or move on from section)
- Challenge & content generation: 1 Quiz, 2 Explain to Bot, 3 Solve generated scenarios, 4 Bridge to other concepts (apply challenges to combinations of concepts 1/3), 5. Simulated discussion discussion with bot
- Zap integration to fund or subsidise cost of the BTC Tutor
Please let me know if you know anyone who is interested in BTC education and scaling it with generative AI tutors. I would love to share thoughts and exchange ideas.
Ultimate goal: collaborative environment where students teach each other throughout their learning journey. They review answers, work on sticking points, filter the best examples and identify the specific steps of proficiency so the learning path optimises over time. Zap enabled economy to reward work delivered.
