Thank you for the warm welcome!
Answers below:
- From Alby Hub
- VERY difficult since I wanted to join via mobile and nostr. I gave up and did it via desktop, added X login, then logged in via X on mobile.
- A good amount. I run my own node.
- Not yet, haha
- Yes
- Love it so far!! I love the wide scope of the conversations.
I mean they are still expanding to new markets and into different product offerings. One would presume Strike would eventually like to be public. So it is odd that the CEO of a company still in growth mode would split time on another venture. I think when Dorsey split time between twitter and square, twitter was a much larger and more mature company than Strike is. Strike is still a startup.
@BlokchainB is an investor. How do you feel about Jack not focusing 100% on Strike?
I think I'm more on Lopp's side of this. I don't really see the burning of quantum-vulnerable coins as "a pre-emptive violation" of one of Bitcoin's principles, as the author of this article puts it. I see it more as a part of the overall upgrade package to post-quantum cryptography. As long as there's a long enough runway for people to upgrade before their coins are lost, I think this is a fair outcome.
The author of this article also argues against any large scale human intervention in bitcoin:
I’d argue that, generally, any large-scale human intervention in Bitcoin should be categorically rejected. Bitcoin was designed to avoid human “intervention” precisely because it inevitably leads to mistakes or corruption. One might claim intervention “for the right reasons” is justifiable, but that opens the door to endless subjective debates.
The problem is that every major upgrade to Bitcoin is going to be a large scale human intervention and open to subjective debate, as I wrote about in #849906. I think it's naive to think otherwise. I agree with the author that we need to be careful about large interventions, but it's implausible to think that we can just categorically reject anything that involves subjective judgment. Even the statement that we should reject such interventions is itself a subjective judgment, and a large scale intervention on the side of ossification.
- Found SN when I was looking for other Nostr apps in the App Store.
- It took a moment to get used to the layout and to get to know where what is and how everything works, but I am slowly getting there. It could be a bit too much for a total newbie to Nostr.
- I started using lightning about 2 years ago and I love it.
- No I did not read the FAQ since I like to find out things myself and when I get stuck I will refer to FAQ or ask community members. The community is always best to ask in my opinion.
- Yes already done that and attached my UXUY wallet since it can handle both lightning address as invoice.
- My first week was enjoyable and looking forward to get more engaged.
How did you find out about SN?
Scrolling through Nostr.
How difficult was it to get started? Any feedback?
Super smooth. No hiccups at all.
How much experience do you have with lightning?
Been rocking LN with Annonymal for nearly two years now.
Have you read the FAQ already?
Not yet, but now that you mentioned it, we’ll dive in!
Have you realized that you need to attach a wallet to receive sats?
Yup — already hooked up and receiving some sats!
How was your first week on SN?
Awesome so far. Great vibes, solid community.
Horns up for Satoshi!
\m/ Horns up for Satoshi — always and forever!
Fasting is the only thing that I've been able to get results with. Then, effective maintenance is low carb without dairy - but even that I can't stick with very long, so I need occasional fasts as I go (every other day, or a 5-7 day fast every quarter).
The problem for me is a I need things to be intense to find them engaging. Interventions need to be radical to get my dopamine going. Calorie counting is too boring for my weird brain.
I've unintentionally been doing OMAD this week and feel pretty great on a relative basis.
When CJ Wilson did his AMA here on SN he said there are a number of former and current MLB players that are bitcoiners but he wouldn't say who.
I find Pieter Wuille's argument to be quite compelling:
"The alternative is that millions of BTC become vulnerable to theft; I cannot see how the currency can maintain any value at all in such a setting. And this affects everyone; even those which diligently moved their coins to PQC-protected schemes."
The idea that millions of bitcoin will flow to a single thief (with immense resources, who wields a powerful supercomputer) is a bit unsettling. But I'm not totally sold yet - a lot of drawbacks.
It's an amazing augmentation of what it means to read a book. You can drastically increase what you get out of the process, and take on books that would otherwise be beyond you.
Nice idea!
I did a demo during a livestream, but it was in Portuguese. I will record another one in English to make it more accessible.
I know this question wasn't directed at me, but I'd love to jump in and say I'm finding I'm spending more time here than on Twitter-like experience for Nostr.
I think the problem with those kinds of social platforms is your credibility is based on how many followers you have (perceived social capital) vs. what you actually have to say.
Here, I feel like I'm actually meaningfully exchanging ideas and connecting with others.
Over there, it feels lonely, haha. I'll still hang around there, but I've seen a massive quick shift on where I'm spending my Nostr time now.
They give a tiny bit of context here.
Hello and thanks for the welcome, i found out about this community through reddit and also stacksats . how
It was pretty easy to register, just one gmail confirmation code is needed hah
Intermittent fasting. I hate tracking what I’m eating but I don’t mind restricting when I eat.
I also tend to eat healthier, when I’m doing this. The cravings for healthy food are relatively greater when I’m not eating all day.
Get rid of carbs. Add as much as I can meat, fat, butter. Avoid plants and seeds.
p.s. this is not health advise
