bought a trezor bc was gonna multisig.
thing sucks. second time it gives internal error. gonna have to factory reset again. it's horrible. I have another unopened one I'll see if works any better, but if this was my first cold storage experi nice I'd be so anxious scared mad.
I'm not obv. got my seed phrases and already restored a few cards

was looking at casa too, but see that's less than ideal.
then there's the generating my own seed phrase....what!?! idk how.
then restore, verify recover.
can I trust my cold storage hardware wallet from the factory?
am I doing anything wrong.
is it enough to cold storage w air gap (prob cold card)

2024-09-29 21:54:37

currently single cold card.
need to do something. was gonna do swan vault. then unchained vault.
bought a trezor, but then I see stuff on x about how I should get air gapped.
another thing to learn. then should I still do multi sig.
so many options and things to learn.
and I'm no noob

how do you spend your BTC?
I mean, luckily at this point I haven't had to. but if I did, seems like annoying tax consequences I'd have to deal with.
obv I will deal w taxes if necessary, but it makes me slightly apprehensive when buying btc

I tried to runs Bitcoin node. I suppose the failure was purchasing a HDD instead of an SSD. it was so slow downloading. then somehow I bricked the drive.
idk I gave up.
should I go drop $150 and get that SSD and get back on the horse?
I should say, I've installed Ubuntu Linux on old computers, flashed custom roms back in the day to android phones, so I'm not a complete tech noob.

Unfortunately, the Fountain app is simply not as good as Podcast Addict.
I've used Addict for many years, it's great.
I switched to Fountain around 8 months ago. I added sats from my stash. I have been tipping and zapping for good shows.
But the Fountain app would occasionally delete an episode, or no longer let me listen to a show, or some other strange things that inhibited my podcast enjoyment.
Two weeks ago I switched back to Addict, and it's just so smooth.
But now at least I have Nostr so I can zap podcasters on here for good shows.

yeah, that's true, and I will continue to do so at times. I've had convos with a few of them. test the waters about BTC knowledge, and not much there

casa vault
vs
swan vault
they seem like roughly the same product

Is the idea that all nostrers would simply have their own relay. As an avg Joe blo bitcoiner (I know that's an oxy moron) who does blue collar work, I don't really have time to think about running a relay. Unless I guess it's as easy as getting started on here with Primal

Guy talking about paying a contractor.
sheesh ya, I own my own remodeling business, and everyday I shake my head at how outdated and inefficient our financial system is on a simple value exchange scenario.
customer: what methods of payment do you accept
me: check.
customer: PayPal, venmo, etc
me: yeah for 3% plus
it's so outdated. at some point I'll say Bitcoin or lightning or ecash, but we're not quite there

Naval Ravikant once pushed me to do a Twitter thread called “The Invisible World is First Discovered in the Visible World’s Failure to Close”. The idea is we find out that there's a neutrino because a neutron has a certain amount of energy, and a proton and an electron into which it decays doesn't have the same amount of energy. So something was lost. There was a hypothesis due to both Pauli and Fermi that there must be some particle that is diabolically neutral, undetectable by almost any means possible, that is carrying away this extra energy. And so the idea is the visible world, that is, the charged particles, or the neutron, which you could detect, that world didn't close. Therefore there had to be something else. Well you know, when Kamala goes from being incredibly unpopular to the loved candidate with no primary, the visible world just failed to close. The idea that nobody ever convenes a bunch of geriatric neurologists to analyze Joe Biden is the visible world failing to close. This is the origin of “anti-interesting”. These are all anti-interesting events, and you can measure the control of journalism by its desire to report on what everybody wants reported, and is absolutely, pathologically uninteresting—not to the journalists, but to the editors who tell the journalists what can and cannot be featured in print.

I must have added a relay and it switched my archiving relay.
I just switched back to default and it works now

"Today, the Jevons paradox describes a situation where greater efficiency in deploying a resource (such as water, gasoline, or electricity) causes demand for that resource to skyrocket — negating an expected decline in total usage. Electric lights are often cited as an example: people have responded to improved light bulb efficiency by installing so many more of them that there has been no decline in the total energy consumed by lighting."

same reason Bitcoin. I believe in it. I'm a Twitter user, and the telegram guy being arrested ultimately prompted me getting on just now

2024-09-01 14:50:56

been using fountain app for like 6 most now, so plenty of use listening to my fav Bitcoin podcasts. a couple things that frustrated me (comp to podcastaddict that is been using for years)
- sometimes it wouldn't download a podcast when I prompted
- sometimes would list as not listened to even tho I had
- sometimes would simply delete the episode, and I could no longer listen
a few other minor glitches, but tired of it.
I love boosting to send sats tho, so I'll just switch back to podcastaddict and send sats via nostr/primal

for some reason I couldn't send from fountain to primal. so I downloaded speed wallet, sent from fountain to speed, the sent from speed to primal
idk anything but I was determined to send out of my fountain app

2024-09-01 13:18:36

#introduction
I have the fountain app for podcast listening. As you can see I just downloaded the Primal app and created a nostr account. I have it on my phone.
I cannot figure out how to send sats from my fountain app to my primal account.
