Some call me a grumpy old bird. I'm really just tired of a broken system and a little over-zealous at times to help change it.

Maybe he was talking too much while he was in the bar? Talking too much about what he had, and someone within earshot called their Uber driver friend to do the deed?

You should use Primal.

In a general sense. Today's jews are descendents of the Khazarian Empire. It's easy enough to research it. They are not semites in any way.

Not saying Jew hatred is right - it isn't right to hate anyone - but it's definitely not antisemitic.

2025-04-06 08:33:57

- reply

Good meme, but it's not antisemitism to bash jews. In fact, jew hatred is not antisemitic. Because the people who call themselves jews have no ancestral or genetic ties to the middle east. They are Khazars; they are European, of Turkic descent, and they mass-converted to Judaism between 700 AD and 900 AD. Nor do they follow the Mosaic law; rather, they follow the Satanic Talmud.

I've used both models, and honestly, the outbox model just makes everything overly complex, and gums everything up if you're switching between the two models using the same nsec. In my opinion, it's a bad idea to tell pre-Nostriches they can take their nsec and use it with any Nostr client; then, when they discover that's not altogether true, we've lost them.

I've used two brands recently.
Foundation Passport is nice. If you only need cold storage for yourself, it's great. Probably a great solution overall. Especially if you want to scan QR codes, it is excellent.
Coldcard Q. This is my favorite because it fully supports BIP-85, which are child seeds derived from the master seed. The BIP-85 feature supports exporting as many xpubs as you wish, for watch-only wallets. This is great if you are being an Uncle Jim to members of your family. All the child seeds are backed up in the Coldcard. The QR scanner is not compatible with most software wallets though. So I transfer psbt's via sd card, which always works.

I learned this lesson later in my working years, as I'm 60 now, and until I got a Class B CDL and started driving a truck 5 years ago, my career had always been in B2B sales, mostly in advertising and wireless comms. I had to be plugged in all the time. I hated it. Now I make great money and when I'm not on the job, it's not on the radar at all. So much better this way, and I would not go back into all that stress for almost any amount of money. Almost. 😁

We listen every now and then to the local police on our scanner, and it is as you say. There is still value in on it though. Does get interesting at times. 😉

I think when you launch a major update and your client all of a sudden is the clear leader in UX and UI, the knives are gonna come out from the other devs and their supporters. When that happens, you respond with class and dignity and call out petty potshots, like we just saw. 🙂

Stupid me. One of my supervisors is a Bitcoiner, and we have openly talked about stacking (in non-numeric terms) in front of co-workers a few times recently. And I've tried orange-pilling another co-worker pretty hard for about a year. I know, I know... I need to just shut my trap!

Can you elaborate for us non-developers what a backend is for Primal? I have no idea, but am interested in learning about it. 🙂

2024-12-28 10:36:55

I started my Nostr experience early 2023.
It was confusing because not much worked, or worked well.
I burned through some keysets trying to figure stuff out. Tried running Tor relay early on. Not the best idea for a newbie at that time.
I played around with clients. Tried to like it on into 2024. Then it was getting better.
But when Primal 2.0 happened, my Nostr world opened up, and I haven't looked back.
NOSTR WILL CHANGE THE INTERNET FOREVER

For me, 150 seems to be a manageable number of people to follow. Much more than that and I can't keep up. So I want meaningful content I can relate to, though I don't always have to agree 💯. I like to be challenged, and I can admit when I'm wrong.

2024-12-26 05:51:35

Absolutely. If you don't want to see certain content in your feed, get rid of it. It's not a personal insult and none should be taken.

2024-12-26 05:46:26

Since we are all in control of our Nostr feeds, why would we need non-Bitcoin clients to support non-Bitcoin content? Wouldn't it still end up in Global anyway? And if it does, we just do what we already do: follow the content creators who create the content we want to see. Anyone can start using Nostr. But no one is forced to follow them.

2024-12-26 05:06:00

I have gone round and round with myself about not knowing about Bitcoin in those early days. It was so much harder to self-custody back then, and my life was tumultuous at the time, I just know I would have either lost it or the bitch I was married to would have stolen it. I tip my hat to you sir. Buying when you did and not losing it is a tremendous accomplishment. 🫡

Sorry... you're going to have to show proof that GrapheneOS isn't reliable, because every credible privacy expert will disagree vehemently with your claims. Please learn about how this works. What you are saying is just flat wrong.

2024-12-23 15:03:21

- reply

Your point is ONLY true with STOCK Pixels. I recommended a non-carrier Pixel that has an unlockable bootloader, and I recommended that GrapheneOS be installed on it. This makes the Pixel absolutely as bulletproof and hardened as you're ever going to get with a smartphone. I think you either didn't read my comment fully, or you're unfamiliar with how to harden a smartphone. Either way, your comment as posted is false.

2024-12-23 10:47:05

- reply

Never heard of it. But hiding an APK file is unusual. I highly recommend getting a Pixel phone (non-carrier) and flashing GrapheneOS on it. They're not as fast as the Samsungs, but they're as secure as you want to make them and very reliable. Just an idea of you're in a position to switch out.

There are very few people that I know, family members included, who have the initiative to learn new skills. It drives me crazy. I'm managing the private keys for 4 members of my family (excluding my wife) because they are older and just can't understand it. If left to do it on their own, all their Bitcoin would remain on exchanges. Most people are either too responsible, lazy, or both, to either learn self-custody or to not lose their key. It's no excuse, but it is the reality. Centralization as dumbed down the common consumer and incentivized laziness for decades, and it won't be easily reversed.

I don't know the name of the artist, but in Japan they have a very popular pop star that kids and teenagers go crazy over. I saw a YouTube video of this pop star giving a concert and all the kids going nuts over. The pop star was complete AI. The musicians were real, but the singer and the vocals were AI produced.

That's an idea to consider. I think some people, especially those used to being the product themselves, would refuse to engage if they had to pay anything at all. But it is a solution to consider.

That makes sense. I see what's happening now. Deleting the posts would be the only way others can find you on Amethyst. And that's if you can actually delete them. Maybe since it's an Amethyst thing, Amethyst would consider them deleted even if other clients still show them. Maybe if you had a keyword to search for you could find the posts. Just an idea. 🤔

There is a blocking tool in Amethyst that I used to block Reply Guy in a different profile, which worked. To my knowledge, only Reply Guy was blocked. Is that what you're referring to, or was it something Vitor did on the coding side of things?

I wasn't referring to any of Elon's businesses. But since you brought up X, Twitter was a big liberal cesspool of censorship. And now as X, much of the censorship has been gutted. Most recently, Elon and Vivek diffused the first version of the CR, which contained earmarks, such as forced vaccinations, lockdowns, martial law, because as Peter Hotez informed us, bird flu and other diseases begin on Trump's first day in office, and they needed these resolutions passed. I guess you could say Elon saved us from all that.
