It's not working very well. Dangerous game of chicken as inflation is already ticking back up and we are in a flat to negative GDP growth phase. Fed may not budge and markets have responded just a bit.
Because he keeps saying he wants to go back to the 50s and 60s manufacturing levels and worker wages. Completely ignoring the fact that it is impossible

Trump has never said that's the reason. Bessent has inferred this however. Trump is a senile old man that thinks we will go back building stuff in the 50s. He and Biden share that philosophy.
However, if we are to keep printing money, and keep being the global reserve, this is not mathmatecially possible.

You are correct, however missing a few key distinctions.
If going literal, Congress didn't make a law or throw the guy in jail. The DOJ did.
But courts have ruled of course it applies to states, cities, and lots of other things not just Congress.
The key distinction here is that when not a citizen, rather a visa, green card, etc.. you are required to sign on the dotted line with lots of different stipulations. End dates, status, background info, checkina, tax requirements, and on and on. It isn't about the right to free speech, it is about violating the terms of your stay.
Currently, in this one case, the argument is he lied or didn't disclose his background. I'm not saying that's true or not, FYI.
Citizens are supposed to get their rights not trampled on, others do not have such a guarantee. Hence why deportations are a thing.
We simply cannot allow people from other countries to come here, use speech to drum support, then tear down the nation. That's fucking asinine and the opposite of what we should be encouraging.

Hahaha. Wtf? He isn't a citizen. He is a visa holder and the same rules don't apply. It is part of the application and approval.
A temp visa holder cannot say whatever they want, duh.
He is a terrorist sympathizer and anti us.. That's an easy ass way to be deported if you ask me.

Ultimate portability. Small handheld VHF radio, USB cable, small Digirig USB audio device and a steam deck.
Steam deck Linux test soon.
Works great on raspberry pi 4 already. Likely a pi zero 2 as well.
Nothing else required to connect.

You can absolutely lie on your tax return.

What's the issue? He bragged about having a bunch of Bitcoin (he does), and left the country and renounced his citizenship.
The US has an exit tax for expats.
While absolutely insane and gross, that's the current tax code. He failed to pay on his Bitcoin cap against on the way out along with other holdings.
He likely lied on his tax returns and didn't pay the required taxes.

Yes, you would need a ham license to legally operate it. Not hard though, honestly.
Phase 2 will be adding reticulum network support both for ham bands, and Lora devices. You don't need a license for they as you know. But the range, while amazing is nothing like HF ham bands. I was chatting deep into Russia last night from AZ..... Can't do that on anything but HF.

2025-01-30 05:32:44

Alright nostriches. I finally have enough done and feel comfortable to share my progress on HAMSTR.
You are about to witness perhaps the first ever(well outside of the 2,000 ones I have done testing, lol) nostr note retrieved exclusively over HF packet ham radio.
There is no Internet access on this browser at the moment at all.
It is a client - server setup. The client is fully off-grid. Only the server can connect to the internet. For this test, the server is was roughly 500 feet away using dummy loads on my radios putting out virtually zero watts. Yes, not far, but in theory it would similar at hundreds and even thousands of miles away as well.
This test pulls my most recent notes from my fake dev account following list. In this case 1 note. The number of notes is configurable, but keep in mind HF Packet Radio is SLOW. This one note takes quite a while for just tiny note from @nprofile…xafw. Future versions will have FM Data packets as well, but line of sight FM was not my goal. Global coverage was. HF radio is the only way for that.
Most functionality is now working, just ironing out some things and lots of bugs. Following, global, search, hash tags, npub search display names, are all basically working. Soon replies.
What started out as a project for me to use some social media and take camping and do some off-grid nostr stuff has now morphed into something that I believe will be able to help millions of people be able to bypass oppressive regimes, firewalls, tyranny, and allow them to interact with the nostr network using nothing but ham radios. This could be massive for learning, comms, and overall freedom. Could have a server running in France, and connect to it from Russia or Afghanistan for example. Easily within HF radio reach for half the world.
Much like the winlink email network, I hope people will be able to take my project and setup servers all around the world for people to access, read, write notes, send DM's, use various nostr kinds and even send Bitcoin(on chain offline transactions over HF radio and nostr coming soon).
Lots to come!
Note: pardon the phone screen cap, it isn't quite working fully android Firefox or chrome yet.

Not really.
You just went off about some other shitcoin they isn't related to LN, Bitcoin, etc...
You can't be opening channels Everytime you want with someone to make a payment offline. If they aren't online, you can't make a paymentnto then or open a channel.
It seems creating something totally is what you are looking for.
That's all good, but you mentioned offline payments and ideas for LN, and I explained the issues with that.

2 things on cashu. It is self custodial sort of and sort of not, but you have to trust the issuing mint operator to be honest.
It isn't linked to dollars. Sats and LN are the native currency for 'exchanging' for cashu tokens. Send sats, get tokens.

2024-12-09 02:57:36

- reply

This isn't a Bitcoin block convo, it's a LN offline payments one.
In nostr, here is always trust. Fairly big. That's the issue. You trust the relay operators. For notes in 99% of all notes, not a big deal.
For real money, larger sums, a mortgage payment, whatever, it could be a massive deal and that trust needs to be minimized.
Having a 3rd party server doesn't really help, they could always shutdown or not pass on the store, etc...
Just spit balling issues here. I have NO idea how to solve the node issue. my main lightning node has zero issues, plenty of liquidity, and requires very minimal maintenance and occasional rebalancing. But I'm pretty even on them anyways, so I don't see it as a big deal.
Perhaps the answer is a few levels. Trustless(minimized) by own node online, trusting a 3rd party server for passing on when online(block stream has this), self controlled hosted LN, and of course fully custodial.
It's silly to think everyone will run a node, as well as that everyone will or should be custodial.

2024-12-08 17:50:27

To my nostr dev bretheren, is there a good way to test nostr note publishing without actually sending to the network?
Like a testnet or something.
I want to play with some different settings on my app but don't want to spam or show half notes or wrong formatting, stuff like that.
Just run my own relay perhaps?

I don't see how you can have offline payments without 3rd parties involved. some kind of sync system when back online?
But what happens in the case of multiple offline fund transfers if the node can't update it's channel balance?
Curious as to your thoughts and ideas

2024-12-08 16:22:46

Bisq absolutely has trust trade offs. Number 1, you are trusting and using reputation of your Bitcoin seller, but also in the case of disputes, you rely on 3rd party mediators in the DAO.
What do you call that?
It's a great, albeit terribly coded and slow(v1), software/project, but it has tradeoffs. I have used it many times.
But there is zero chance you can easily and safely make a $500,000 Bitcoin purchase KYC free on bisq in a few minutes or even at a day on bisq. There is no market for that on bisq. Most are $500, $1k max. Maybe 10k or 20k but rare.

Meh. As someone who has used an insane amount of AI for Hamster across many offerings, overall it sucks at coding. It sometimes is great, sometimes is terrible. It takes a crazy amount of human fixes and promoting to get it right many times. It lacks critical thinking, obviously, which causes issues in coding and problem solving.
I have created a few courses, it's almost always outdated, conflates versions, mixes and matches things, forgets, over complicates basic tasks and so on.
It can't even answer how many letters are in a word, lol.
More power to you, go for it. It's not for me.

Is anyone working on NOSTR based dlc or similar apps? I need it to help my degen gambling with @npub1tvq…krq4
Would love to setup some rules, agree over nostr, then publish the results to a note that sends a zap automatically. no clue how it would work, but would be amazing.
