Was listening to @npub1s5y…6q7z about @npub1srs…whlh . And thought: Someone should really build a decentralized exchange to go with these services.
A lot of people want to heat their home, and a lot of people wants sats. This might not necessarily be the same person.
I would gladly exchange fiat for sats if someone using a heatbit would rather get government money than bitcoin.
Can’t this be solved with platforms we already have, but just facilitate the transaction under the hood ? @Strike @bisq_network @hodlhodl
Want to heat your home and get paid in dollars ? No problem!

I’ve seen so much about “AI will increase GDP by 100x” and stuff like that . But who’s the buyer?
When an AI can spit out 1000 different marvel movies in a day… Who will watch them?

Hey @npub1s5y…6q7z I just listened to your podcast, great episode. I’m working for a company in the creator economy sector enabling video creators to earn money with the support of their followers.
And I hear a lot of talking about how lightning and stuff will disrupt the creator economy space. But not much about how content will be distributed? Text is easy, and cheap, like through nostr. streaming video on the other hand is expensive, and someone will need to take the cost.
It would be really interesting hearing about other technologies that might help solve these kind of problems without centralized companies taking a two digit percentage cut of the revenue to cover their expenses for providing the services 🙂

2023-06-08 21:13:37

Just listened to WBD, and it got me thinking.
What’s the differens between a bitcoin miner and “the paper clip maximizer”
Honest question? Philosophical, yet honest
https://podcasts.apple.com/se/podcast/what-bitcoin-did/id1317356120?i=1000616136557
“The paper clip maximizer is a concept in artificial intelligence that illustrates a potential risk of uncontrolled AI development. It refers to a hypothetical scenario where an AI with a single goal, such as maximizing paper clip production, becomes extremely powerful and takes actions that could be detrimental to humanity as it relentlessly pursues its objective.”
⬇️
“The bitcoin miner seeking the cheapest energy highlights a potential concern in the world of bitcoin mining. In this scenario, an AI-driven bitcoin miner with a sole objective of minimizing energy costs becomes highly influential and takes actions that may have adverse consequences ...”

I’ve been stacking every moth for three years, not spending on things other than food and housing for the fam. But today I bought a vehicle for 0.5 Btc because I wanted it and it will make my life a tiny bit more fun. (For the last three years I’ve had fun staying poor 😂)
This might be the most expensive vehicle I will ever buy due to opportunity cost. 🫨
I should have stacked instead shouldn’t I ? 😬

Because you have to admit, bear market followed by a bull market is fun!

Hear me out, what if we increased block size just enough to fit:
2 cups Greek yogurt,

2 garlic cloves,
2 tbsp lemon juice,
2 tbsp olive oil,
1/2 tsp salt,
1/4 tsp black pepper.
…in each block and call it Bitcoin Tzatziki vision - BTV . No?

Yeah! And that thing about managers is so true. I’ve started adding redundant things to my design , because I know something always needs to be scoped out by managers no matter what.
Like if I present a design with just an input field and a button the response is:
“Yeah, we can’t build that. Let’s remove the button.”

Oh man, had a bad day at the office today.
I’m so damn tired of when milestones to tell investors are more important than our users and their experience.
I’m currently working on a platform where all of our users are literally thrown under the bus, and we release broken unfinished stuff that does not look or work like it was initially designed, just to replace old but functioning stuff.
And we do this just to be able to say to investors that hey! We launched this (whatever) in time!
Yes we did, but we scoped out 85% of the functions, took short cuts everywhere and launched something that does not work.
Great achievement y’all 👏
And then the same people that pushed for the quick release and taking shortcuts are wondering why users are dropping off 🤷‍♂️
What a mystery! 🫢

I have bought “the bitcoin standard” by Saifedean four times 😂
First time was for myself, hard cover copy

I got in during the last peak of 2017 and bought the absolute top (on the day) in 2018. Then saw my bags go under water massively , so I stopped paying attention for a few years. So it’s nice to see what was going on before and after that time in more detail ⚡️

Damus is iOS , on every note on the app there’s a ⚡️ icon for anyone who’s set up a LNURL on their profile. In the Damus settings you can set up your default wallet of choice (in my case muun) and a default amount you want to zap people. Example 21 sats . Then when you scroll through nostr and interact with people , you can easily zap by clicking the ⚡️ icon on notes, muun opens directly and I just confirm 21 sats , done ✅

2023-02-18 20:53:01

- reply

Can it be because you set your default zapping amount in your profile as well, so then it creates an invoice with that amount . But in profile, there’s no preset amount when clicking the ⚡️ button

2023-02-18 20:51:14

- reply

Like any note of yours works fine with muun, and any other note as well . And you only set your tipping address at one place, atleast in Damus client 🤔
