“every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam”

How do you articulate: why open source?
I speak with decision makers (either investors or enterprise) and there is always a suspicious push back for open source:
-difficult to monetize,
-must be careful not to share “the secret sauce” of the business,
-security flaws went undetected for years (android for instance)
Of course I can reply:
- even Tesla open sourced some patents to allow the creation of the market
- security flaws are everywhere, crowdstrike and windows, at least you have more eyes in open source
But I want to hear how do you articulate it? How do you position open source as superior to closed source?

That’s not very realistic, it’s like saying openAI is afraid of a new tensorflow version. That open source part is open source for very good reasons (better security, testing, having brains from universities viewing and reviewing) and all the value delivered to customers come from how the company uses that part.
For Bitcoin it’s the same, better security, cryptography, etc.. come from open source, if a company wants to build their own Bitcoin you end up with a crap like BCH or BSV which the market does not like.
It makes zero business sense, that can’t be the reason

Anno di elezioni = anno di pump? Bitcoin Cabana ep 4.20 #podcast
YouTube: https://youtu.be/XuMmnyxgLS0
Arrivano le elezioni e assieme a loro arrivano gli stimoli! I Democratici combatteranno fino all'ultima legge pur di tenere il votante assunto e soddisfatto. Agli orsi rimane il podio del giusto, di quello che sarebbe corretto, ma qui al Cabana ci importa fino ad un certo punto. La recessione più annunciata di sempre è rimandata. Continuiamo ad osservare da vicino la disoccupazione, ricordandoci la nostra soglia del +0.6% MoM che però fino ad ora continua a reggere. Parliamo del nostro Fanta-portafoglio, come sempre è un discorso a fini di studio e approfondimento culturale. Non diamo consigli di investimento, i dati che mostriamo sono accurati per quanto ne capiamo noi. Confrontatevi con il vostro consulente finanziario prima di fare qualsiasi cosa.

That’s an interesting topic!
Social sciences are not my field and I read through quickly so apologies if I’ve missed it: when you speak about historical costs of doing business (gifts to elders etc..) I was immediately curious about how does it relate with mining costs (and exchange rate of bitcoin for actors who can’t mine)
“Although costs involve a great deal of the actual signaling (Smith et al 2001), are they really necessary?”
I’d argue yes, without proof of work and mining Bitcoin wouldn’t be effective!

This episode was super interesting: we delved into what are euro-dollars, petro-dollars and then the infamous NAKA-dollars.
Basically dollars outside US banks are not “protected by the FED”, they are outside M2 and they accounted for up to 90% of all international loans. They were born when Soviets wanted to move their dollars from US banks to European ones fearing sanctions in the early 50s (history doesn’t repeat but for sure rhymes..).
Then in the 70s payments for oil were structured as follows: an oil importer asked a non-US bank for a loan in dollars, at the same time the oil exporter received it as dollar deposit as payment for the oil. The balance of the banks is 0, they can create as much as they want of this! There is what’s called a maturity mismatch: the loans last years while the deposit could be moved to another bank at any time. This problem brought to life all form of financial tools to make sure the flow of oil continues unhindered.
Naka-dollar, as defined by Bitmex Ayes, are just a derivative product which always contains 1USD of bitcoin. This has some super interesting trades behind, but we analyzed how could that be used in the future, when Bitcoin will be too precious to exchange on a daily basis.
The #podcast is in Italian 🇮🇹 as there are no macroeconomics podcast for Bitcoiners here (that I know of), there are indeed famous bitcoin podcasts, but they focus either on the tech or on adoption. Very rarely the business or financial side of things is discussed, so that’s the niche we chose with Bitcoin Cabana.

The anticounterfeiting tools have been unveiled! They will assist in identifying genuine products and shipments, unlocking novel customer journeys, and generating analytics that are currently unattainable.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQKnazbrl84
During the unveil day at @EU_IPO, representatives of the 4 brands: Mercedes, Angelini Pharma, Equip Outdoors and Harman Kardon and of the 2 logistics operators: JAS and KLM, discussed the results of the pilot project which involved real import shipments coming from China, Vietnam and the United States passing through the Dutch Customs.
What are the primary elements?
1) Digital certificates issued by EUIPO that enable anyone to verify data signed by an authentic brand owner.
2) An extension to digital tokens (NFTs) that describes the genuine object, ensuring that only legitimate brands can sign these extensions. Creating counterfeit digital representations becomes impossible.
3) A logistics protocol for exchanging shipment details, accompanied by evidence of originating from a genuine brand owner. This facilitates improved risk assessment and streamlined data sharing within the supply chain.
What are the main advantages?
1) Easy identification of real shipments and easy cross checking of object details against approved and expected details. This can be leveraged even by Customs.
2) New digital tool for customer experiences which can collect data and offer new services.
3) Faster data sharing for logistics: analytics on real time events, item by item logistics costs and supply chain commercial insights
All the tools are opensource, if you have any question please feel free to reach out, we can schedule a demonstration of the main steps.
Last but not least, a big thank you to all the stakeholders and blockathon members, it is a great adventure and I'm looking forward working with you!

I am a noob in such matters of course, but here are a couple of historical pointers:
- CS operation reminds of Bear Stern rescue, which started a rally of risk assets for a couple of months before collapse
- liquidity swaps between central banks were also a temporary measure invented during GFC, which became permanent. It’s not clear to me what’s exactly the consequence of what, but high volume of swaps was correlated with major market crisis (gfc and March 2020 had spikes in that activity)
I think gfc was structurally very different: today there is high inflation and low unemployment, during gfc inflation was 5%ish and unemployment skyrocketed to 10%, today we have 10% inflation and unemployment still close to 3 or 4 % (basically a minimum). Today there is A LOT more money in the system (10 years of QE and a covid packagr later..)
So I’m not sure the feeling can even be the same. At the time I was a grad student and had no idea about the world, so take whatever I say with caution! To me it was just curious house prices

About SVB chapter 11, do you know if that means stock from its startup clients have to marked to market?
If I remember right they gave some credit lines to clients with startup stock as collateral. This was not the reason why they blew out, but if those stocks touch any form of rational market, that will blow out a couple of VC funds for sure

some clients and relays can implement an hashing task, but I’m not sure it will make any difference: as soon as the spam is profitable the profiteer can invest in hardware way faster than the average user. So basically it will “rate limit” only humans

There’s the long answer: you build a model of the price of bitcoin and then decide some rule of how much to buy the further below real price is respect to your model.
The short answer is: it doesn’t really matter, model will be wrong sooner or later anyway. Your cash availability is the most important part of the equation, “don’t go broke” is probably a good idea, hyperbitcoinization is still quite far away!
From a math perspective you are looking at the secretary problem: when to stop waiting for new prices and take the price? But again, this goes back to modeling the price

PS: https://nostrplebs.com/.well-known/nostr.json?name=bitdecoina
It actually looks ok, the key looks in exadecimal, which is correct for nip05 so maybe it’s just a UI bug and the verification is ok under the hood

2023-03-01 12:16:43

I didn’t setup my nip05 yet, but if I got it right: verification means on the domain of your nip there must be a file “domain.com/.well-known/nostr.json”
If the file is not present or not configured correctly - it must have inside { “names”:{“bitdecoina”:”npub…”}} then I guess you see verification pending
If you use a service for hosting the json, then you have to ping the service provider as probably something is broken on their side.

Bot #spam on nostr, a discussion!
Shared block lists cannot work: easy to abuse the lists and easy to create new bots.
We already know the best answer against spam: PoW!
A - mining per note, the client must crunch some hashes before submitting the note, the relay would become something like a pool. The problem here is that bots may have financial incentives to spam, so it may be profitable to setup a weird mining rig at scale, still, you’d read only highly motivated bots 😂
B - pay per mention, you read all notes and mentions from users you follow but if someone you don’t follow tries to mention you, he needs to zap you for you to read it. This creates a strange incentive: follow no-one so everyone must pay to write to you, but I guess this would work only for “famous” or “busy” people?
C - pay per note, you literally pay the relay to push your notes before others or multiple times wrt to other notes. Bandwidth is limited, large relays may charge to make sure your notes are going through asap and at least n times? Relay as mempool and notes as txs?
I like B the most. For the moment bots are not gnarly but nostr is still small and advertisers are not looking into it, give it time..
What would you choose? Other ideas?
