Day two as a #Meshtastic user!
Love these little guys (Heltec V3)
Question for other users:
1) What is the significance of the lock icon next to each node in the node list? (I notice that some are yellow/unlocked, and others are green/locked.)
My clients seemed to be set to green/locked by default, while most others are yellow/unlocked.
How do I change that setting, and why might I want to?
2) Also, if I broadcast a message in the default primary "Channel 0", who can see it? Is it a public channel for any clients in hop range? What is the significance of setting that channel's encryption setting to "empty" instead of "default"?

"The Ashigaru Open Source Project was established in the months after the United States Department of Justice brought charges against the founders of the self custodial Bitcoin application, Samourai Wallet. At the time of arrest, multiple servers that hosted documentation, code repositories and message coordination services were either seized or failed to remain online, presumably due to being no longer administered. With the indicted individuals placed under restrictive conditions on bail, it became clear that all software development had ceased.
Aims and Goals
We believe anyone should be able to engage in peaceful, voluntary and private commerce on the internet without tracking, surveillance or censorship. The Ashigaru Open Source Project develops, releases and maintains free and open source software that makes extensive use of both published code from active projects as well as those archived in the public domain.
Open, unrestricted communication networks are utilized to ensure continued availability. The software released by the project will always have a low barrier to entry, be non discriminatory, never expose users to counterparty risk and provide as much protection as possible for those transacting on a public blockchain." https://image.nostr.build/91b990a278bd6635a843ca5858ddf5d83c3691bdfdba6fac7cd95c910d4b1449.jpg

I've listened to this podcast episode 3 times, and often reposted to Jeff's other video interviews I've been surprised at how slow my mind is to grasp the concepts. The first time I listened I had a sense there was something important that I didn't quite grasp. So I resolved to listen again until I got it.
It really is a paradigm shift. And - as Jeff always says - of Bitcoin remains secure and decentralized, the world is going to change.

2024-07-22 09:52:00

There is risk in the banking system:
"The Federal Reserve is a trusted party in all three senses of maker, man-ager, and mediator - it is the monetary trinity.
The Fed makes the dollar.
The Fed manages the funds of other banks.
And the Fed ultimately serves as the central mediator for digital dollar transactions through services like Fed Wire.
In sum, managers offer convenience and peace of mind. Mediators maintain financial plumbing. And makers enable economic stability and exchange through a common medium. Users of modern money trust these parties to do their jobs well. This is a tradeoff and involves risk. As cypher-punk Nick Szabo says, trusted parties are "security holes." Managers sometimes fail, leaving their customers with pennies on the dollar. Mediators sometimes block lawful commerce. Makers also make mistakes. They might print too much money and, as inflation soars, put on the brakes too late. Then they might slam the brakes too hard and, as a recession looms, keep the brakes on for too long. Sometimes makers know which levels they'll pull and, as private citizens, execute a series of, let's say, well-timed trades in the stock market. This is insider trading, not with company stock, but with what company stocks trade against - a national currency.
As a group, these trusted parties can and sometimes do imperil our financial privacy, our funds, our freedom to use them as we'd like, and their value. Some will judge that the benefits of trusted parties outweigh the risk. They might be right. It might also be true that we would benefit from having options without one or more of these trusted parties so that participating in the economy doesn't force us into a single set of tradeoffs."

I'd say the money, which is a representation of human time and effort, is in theory owed to any creator or saver of value in the USD system, whose time and energy could have gone to either improving their lot (personal well-being, family wellbeing, community wellbeing) or providing security for an unknown future threat.
But Instead, their money was funneled into malinvestments, wars, and the hands of those who are closest to the printed money supply and produce little but through a sneaky, roundabout way, lay claim to the wealth of others. A mechanism that makes this possible is the inflation of the money supply via debt issuance (and pretending that that debt obligation is actually an asset) which diminishes the purchasing power / work of every USD earner or saver.
So the money is owed to the future wellbeing of those who earned it by creating value.
I wonder: What if all the destruction of wars, for example, had instead been positive cooperation and construction? How might the world we pass on to a next generation be better?
In my opinion that's an example of what has been taken away, and where the true debt lies.
But I'm still trying to figure it all out.

Do I understand correctly: this is proof of concept that the nostr protocol enables web communication where a central DNS "switchboard" is not needed, which removes the ability of those DNS providers/controllers to block sites and control or surveil traffic between them? That means it's a reversing of the trend toward web centralization that's been going on steadily for a couple decades now...

I agree. There's always the problem with the peg. If I don't have signing authority of a #Bitcoin UTXO, then I've only got something pegged to it. And the person or mechanism responsible for that peg now must be trusted. That's where the cheating can be done. And if cheating can be done, it eventually will be done.

#Bitcoin is inherently hard to describe. It is a new thing, and any attempt to draw a comparison to previous concepts — be it by calling it digital gold or the internet of money — is bound to fall short of the whole. Whatever your favorite analogy might be, two aspects of Bitcoin are absolutely essential: decentralization and immutability.

(1) I think Bitcoin's fiat price is strongly impacted by people who value fiat more than Bitcoin, and see Bitcoin as a means to get more fiat:
fiat -> BTC -> FIAT
[repeat]
(2) But others value Bitcoin based on its own characteristics and utility, and these people are largely interested in only a one-way transaction:
fiat -> BTC.

Using Monero doesn't make that particular decision go away; Monero is under the same tax regulation as all cryptocurrencies.

Monero's usefulness to the person who decides not to report crpytocurrency transactions to the taxing rulers is a slightly different topic.

For me, spending bitcoin is more about the decision it makes me face:
> Am I willing to ignore tax law in my jurisdiction? <
If not, I then have to treat my every Bitcoin transaction as a taxable event, requiring me to know and document the cost basis for every sat, and self-reporting this on a complex and obscure tax form that is likely to raise red-flags and the attention of the tax authorities who demand and enforce capial gains regulation.

It took me about a month to go from fiat to shitcoiner to #Bitcoin er.
An acquaintance had suggested I go on Coinbase and get the free small $dollar amount reward of ETH they were giving away to new users. So I did. Once in, I used Coinbase's little rewards program where you watch a promo on a shitcoin, then are rewarded with a bit of it. Luna. Circle, Dot, etc.
The first time I used a blockchain explorer it was to look up an ETH transaction. (That was a powerful moment for me...when I first looked up a transaction ID on a public digital ledger...)
Looked at all the tokens on Coinbase and wondered what made them different from each other. Which would last? Or appreciate in value?
Bought and lost money on some small amount of Polkadot. Remember reading some guy's social media post about how cryptocurrencies are all narrative: you have to guess which narrative is going to be popular to figure out which coin would appreciate next. Sounded scammy. The pump-n-dump.
Then, no thanks to Coinbase, I encountered the OG. The only digital asset. It seemed different.
BTC.
I started wolfing down old #Bitcoin content from Andreas, then DerGigi, and so many others on YouTube, Reddit, podcasts, audio books and Twitter spaces. Found LookingGlassEducation.com, and paid attention to its messaging from @npub1jqc…akee and @npub1tm2…lpna ...Became captivated by the solid sanity of what I was learning about #Bitcoin.
Had an awakening.
And now I have a Bitcoin bookshelf.
I have had a low success rate at orange pilling, not for lack of trying.
But the couple of others who grasped it and began to understand it...I have a new bond with them.
I'm now aging into my quiet phase, as I've seen others do. A slow pull back from the initial excitment, from the conversations, the orange pilling, the social media wrangling. Getting back to minding my own business, thinking about opsec, and generational legacy.
I might even buy some Bitcoin myself one day, just in case it catches on.
