Revolt (fork?) by Bitcoin miners to change the protocol to increase their returns.

Friedrich Hayek: A Biography

Hayek didn't write it, but it is a very accessible account of his life and work.

I'm afraid I have to disagree with using testnet for this particular situation. The money needs to be small but real.

My suggestions (I run the Sideways node: 5 BTC, 40 channels, 5m minimum, but I started with Umbrel).

You should organize Lightning and Nostr communities on Umbrel and open smaller channels to each other. Only do on-chain transactions on weekend nights. Try setting 6 sats as your fee (watch mempool).

If you start this project I will open an inbound channel to you for free with zero fees.

Here's my short Nostr Pitch:

New social media protocol with the same value propositions as Bitcoin.

Open, decentralized, anonymous, integrated with Bitcoin Lightning, and potentially world-changing. Very supportive community.

Try it. There are many clients, but I currently recommend: Getalby browser extension Primal.net browser client

Charcoal Weber: 21" Kettle at home and GoAnywhere when camping. Propane never gets hot enough for a real char, and provides no smoke flavor. Webers are cheap and a great design.

Open Obsidian. Go to "Settings" > "Third-party plugins". Click "Browse" and search for "Nostr Writer Plugin".

Click "Install" next to the plugin. Enable the plugin by toggling it on.

I installed Obsidian, but I need a little more direction to find/install the Nostr publish plugin.

"self-fund" books.com two years before amazon.com launched.

Great idea. Use Umbrel and add a dedicated Nostr relay for each island. That will supercharge adoption.

You lose all credibility because your paywall doesn't accept lighting payments!

Most excellent. What can I do to help?

I get sometimes get paid in fiat and sometimesneed to pay in fiat. So I still need a bridge.

Congratulations.

Send me your email and I will send you the tickets.
