It occured to me a few days ago that you could probably build some sort of decentralized ecommerce on Nostr. Sellers would send sell-offer events to relays and buyers would see those and use encrypted DMs to make buy-offers. When an item is sold, the seller sends an event to delete their sell-offer.
I have seen Nostr events that mention RoboSats offers, but I haven't looked into what those are or what they mean.

I'm curious what percentage of users use "1sat=1sat" in the header. Any chance you could share the breakdown with us @k00b?
reply
That's all stored client side in local storage so there isn't any data on it.

Oh ok :( Thanks for the reply.

Having a outbreak of some sort of skin condition! It just wont go away but that shouldnt surprise me since ive done nothing to help the problem. So right now i am back from a small trip to the nearest saltwater fjord. Lovely swim. And now im eating an orange for some vitamin c.
I have booked an appointment at the skin healthcare specialist but there is a 3 months wait. This is what socialized healthcare looks like!

Small and cute original Weimar bill. Has distinctive design and relatively rare probably due to combination of factors: issuance date (20 Oct. 1923) and nominal value (rapidly driven out of circulation).
Some resident of Berlin who went through both World wars. Sadly, we couldn't find out his actual occupation back in Weimar times so we have no personal context for this item.

Finished my reading of Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution: The Remarkable True Story of the American Capitalists Who Financed the Russian Communists. I was...shocked. Every little thing we learned about capitalism against communism is pure bullshit.
Some facts I learned, don't worry, no spoilers here:
  • Trotsky, while visiting New York, acquired an excellent apartment in New York—paying rent three months in advance—and they had use of a chauffered limousine.
  • In April 1917 Lenin and a party of 32 Russian revolutionaries, mostly Bolsheviks, journeyed by train from Switzerland across Germany through Sweden to Petrograd, Russia. They were on their way to join Leon Trotsky to “complete the revolution.” Their trans-Germany transit was approved, facilitated, and financed by the German General Staff.
  • The Washington Post of February 2, 1918, carried the following paragraphs: [William Thompson] GIVES BOLSHEVIKI A MILLION...yes sir, Wall Street collaborated directly and with no masks.
There are other facts that I learned but prefer my dear sirs that you go, buy the book and read it. You'll throw away all your beliefs about Wall Street and stuff..
reply
The point is not in Wall Street or German Generality. It was just that Bolsheviky tried and were successful in taking power by any means.

Can we have a countdown for the number of bitcoin yet to be mined on the header of SN? Can we get a bitcoin-cli gettxoutsetinfo everytime a block is confirmed?Haven't seen it on any other site. If possible, I know @k00b will know how!
reply
yeah much better to see the block number too. The price ticker can go away is not important.
reply
Some would disagree(324 vs 124 in favour for keeping it), but I'm with you. The price ticker can go.
reply
I don't mind the price ticker. Helps me calculate every day items in sats
