Grrat episode!

Happy birthday!

Great article!

Awesome episode!

@npub1aeh2zw4el… Encrypting the Spark wallet with an nsec was a great idea. What do you think about backing up the nsec using NIP-06? Am I the only freak that likes this NIP?

I used Shakespeare to vibe code my new meetup website. It has NIIP-52 calendar events, links, and a NIP-23 blog. I am considering adding a NIP-15 merch store/support page, but haven't figured out all the details yet. I'll share it next week under a new npub. I love the Bitcoin meetup guide on GitHub. It's giving me a lot of Great ideas.

This was fucking great guys. I started using the espy.you website to find hexadecimal color codes for my next vibe code project. Great tool. 🔥

I thought clawstr was a shitcoin before I saw Derek talk about it on nostr. For the record, I am 99.99999999% sure Marti has nothing to do with it. The only reason I am not 100% sure is because I can't prove a negative. :)

🤙

Great show Marty. Free Samourai!

I make greeting cards for my kids that pay them Bitcoin with lightning and Cashu. It gives a visual, tangible representation of electronic cash. That's why I think it's a useful tool for teaching smaller children how to earn, spend, and save sats. Because you can't tell a five year old to read the White Paper. "Put away The Cat In The Hat Tommy! It's time to have fun staying rich with BIP39!" So I think Cashu is a great first step. "Thank you you for putting away you're toys Tommy. Here is a piece of paper redeemable for 1,000 sats." Show , don't tell.

👍

@egge Current was the only client I know of that uses NIP06, BIP39 words for keys. Are there any others?

Building on the base layer with SHA1 hash collisions are the most galaxy brain thing since Adam Back's hashcash. Why haven't I heard more about this?🤯

Yo Chris! You can host many of the Start9 services over the clear net by: - side loading Cloudflare Tunnel - Adding a domain - entering the id:port number in the cloudlare tunnel section of cloudflare. You can find this info in the manifest.yaml file at https://github.com/Start9Labs/albyhub-startos/blob/main/man…

Keep up the good work.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Marc26z/zapthisblog/refs/… You can send sats to the cash app from the fountain app by using the artust's lightning wallet.

Great episode. Fedimint is getting interesting.

Set up a test account with Iris. The automatic npub.cash address you mentioned is amazing.

People are using magic the gathering cards from surveil.cards as entropy to generate BIP39 words. 😲 That seems a little wreckless.

I didn't know Parler was banned by Amazon overlords.

r < g Is a 180° turn from Tomas Pickety's famous mathmatical expression in Captial On The 21st Century. Pickety argued that wealth inequality was created because r > g Before you start calling me a Commie, I did not say I am a Pickety super fan. I am into Austrian economics, but I studied many different schools before I finally found Hazlit. I never read Capital in the 21st Century, but I was an avid econtalk listener. If we accept the current financial regime does not view the world through an Auatrian lens, we can see the math behind what I believe is another 4th Turning. Bessent announced he wants to turn r>g around. He literally means flipping r>g to r<g.👀 https://www.econtalk.org/thomas-piketty-on-inequality-and-c…

👀 If I'm in agreement with Jamie Dimon, the US fiscal outlook must be worse than I thought. I think he's starting to get it. He'll pump stableshitcoins first, for sure, but I think he's begining to understand the problem.

What's the intro/outro song clip from?

Strike bill pay is a game changer. I know," not your keys, not your bitcoin", but if I must use a bank, I would rather use a bitcoin 100% reserve bank.

This part about the game theory was super fucking ridiculous. It looks like he randomly picked some game theory thought experiments on Wikipedia to argue Bitcoiners pretend to care about game theory to pretend their money is "scientific" rather than "ideological." Satoshi describes the 51% attack using the Gambler's Ruin problem, not the Prisoners Dilemma. I read that yesterday and was like..What the hell is this guy even talking about? 🦆

Why do politicians focus on "possible terrorist attacks", but they don't mention the gangs from Chile flying to the US to rob NFL players and that dude from the Matrix?

What do you think about theEFF's dice list to create secure passwords? Bitwarden/Vaultwarden can create these with a click of a button too. https://www.eff.org/dice

You should have Saif on the pod to talk about Milei. https://x.com/i/status/2056436088944631996

Excellent argument for privacy. "Do you want people recording you go into a sex shop?"

I didn't realize this was a podcast too. I'll need to catch up on the other episodes, but the fact that you're talking about modulo math with Rob Hamilton is epic. 😃

Where can I learn how to run claw on a VPS?
