Back from when i started running my (now defunct) LN routing node. I wanted something that would soft doxx me in the sense that i wanted to have random people connect to me because of my unique geographical location. It kinda worked. I kept the nym as i joined SN as i was still running the node.
That actually makes a lot of sense. And it's a unique name anyhow. You're one of the first stackers that I remember interacting with often, because your name stood out so much.
Was supposed to be temporary anon disposable nym for nostr.
But it's too late now and I soft-doxxed myself and stopped caring about it so I stuck with it and made other ones for true anon.
I think it sounds and reads oddly so I'm occasionally tempted to burn it and return to the previous "general online pseudonym" I used to go by. Or maybe it doesn't matter that much
I was trying to get into the business of news by a website for which I even registered the domain by the name Coinsreporter and since then I just used it.
Kontext originates from my real name (Harder Kink) as per the Onyx track "Slam Harder" I got the nickname Slam, which somehow evolved into Slam Dunk Contest. And one of my friends, intentionally or not, turned that more into a Slam Tank Context. I liked the word context as it's what gives meaning to everything, and being a rapper, seemed suitable. As I was already rapping in both Estonian and English, I changed the C to a K so the word would also be sort of half-English, half-Estonian (context; kontekst)
It really is. Back when I was in California I'd make it once a week or so on our Weber grill that I modified to get the coals closer. One of my friends that wouldn't normally eat beef would chow on them.
It's just ground beef + onion pulp (they juice an onion and mix what's left with the meat). Not very difficult to make yourself if you have charcoal grill and flat and wide kabob skewers.
CryptoShalix comes from the union of the words Crypto, short for cryptography, and Shalix, a nickname I gave myself when I was 14-15 years old.
Shalix comes from joining the "SH" of Shikamaru and Shino from the Naruto series, and Alix, a name I saw on a game, I cannot remember if it was Imperium 🤔
No big story for me! I usually make up new usernames as I'm signing up for something, so it's often pretty random. I like Linux, so that's where the penguin came from. I was staring off into space trying to come up with something else to put with it, and space = astro! Then an underscore because I don't like usernames that are all one word or have spaces.
It still gives me chills when Steve Vai melts faces when hes done playing around with Eugene. Then "Eugene Lightning Boy Martone" falls back to his Julliard Classical guitar training and ends it.
Movie still holds up, Karate Kid sort of overshadowed it. Ralph Macchio shows his acting chops that all got lost in the Karate Kid hoopla.
