From Lake Satoshi to Gamehendge

This year at Lake Satoshi, I think it's safe to say, the meshtadel truly went from concept to reality. From here on out, it's now about building it and making it stronger. I'm looking forward to more Bitcoiners joining us.

Excellent rip! Had a blast with you guys! Definitely something spiritual going on at Lake Satoshi. I hope to see that energy spreading to other meetups and areas

Calling all local Bitcoiners, you can pick up Otis Bitmeyer coffee direct at meetups in the Michigan meshtadel network! Come hang with me at The South Bend Indiana Bitcoin Meetup, the first Thursday every month at Lang Lab, 630pm. Learn something, earn something, share something, buy something, build relationships and resilience with local Bitcoiners.

🎯 help you bring ideas into reality That's one thing I've struggled with, I've got lots of good ideas but I need assistance and assistants 🤭 to help me move forward to completion

What I would like to see more Nostr apps doing is hiding the fact that they are Nostr apps. Just obscure it away so normal people think it's a normal app, and not a power app. And let the features and usability make them a fan without them realizing it

Custom scripts for everybody! 🥳🥳

Ya there's definitely nothing wrong with waiting. 6 to 12 months from now it will be much more capable, and in order of magnitude easier to set up

I've been setting up mine to automatically log conversations. I've been feeding it all of my notes and business ideas. Everything gets automatically cataloged into obsidian. That obsidian vault is included in the QMD database for vector memory search. My agents have excellent short and long-term memory with minimal token usage. To set it up right, you really need to spend quite a while setting it up - or buy the files from somewhere. I've been setting up going on 3 weeks. It has already made me more productive. Soon my calendar will be synchronized. Client leads with automatically be filtered and surfaced front and center to me. The more you use something like this, the more you will start to understand how you can compound little abilities on top of each other. One cron job can trigger a cascade of events and work. I have used simplistic bots for many years. I used to have one that would pay my child support for me. That ran with no issues for about 5 years before they updated the site and broke my bot. I used to use another one for automatically populating descriptions and titles for an online store. At that time, I was replacing an employee with a simple bot. These things have been providing real value for people, for longer than people assume. Again it all comes down to how you use it and what you're doing with it. 6 to 12 months from now the landscape will be much different. Right now it's very hard to set up correctly and easy to burn money if you don't know what you're doing. But soon a lot of these things will be ironed out and much more normal people will be able to get higher value from it. On top of that, every time the models get better or cheaper, that means you can also upgrade your system to be smarter or cheaper.

I don't know who's spending $1,000 but you doing it wrong. I spent $15 in the past 3 weeks with more usage than I've ever had. It all depends on the model. But If they are also using it to do scraping and analyzing, it's not exactly simple work. And if you compare that to a human being doing the same work - that $1,000 is probably much cheaper than a human spending the time manually scraping and analyzing. I think I saw a graph recently saying that Claude opus outputs - in one prompt - between 5 and 15 hours of human work. Obviously that's not on every prompt, but that's pretty substantial even if it's expensive at a 30 cent API call, then maybe it's an extremely good deal. It's all very relative to what you're using it for and what your accomplishing in the end. Some of us have been playing with AI models for years already so we already know how to prompt better and we get better results. You've got to keep playing with different models - talk to them in different ways - and be explicit, try to remove ambiguity. And if you're having problems writing prompts - ask one AI to write a prompt for you to give to the other.. and that will often increase your chance of a one shot successful prompt

Fiber internet is getting installed next week. Moving forward, all podcast recordings from the homestead will sound fantastic!

I will make a correction - bitchat was mentioned. I overheard somebody asking somebody else if they want to try it. It sounded like a group of two or three people were going to try it at Lake Satoshi

Rev.Hodl da man, we need more people like him 🧨🧨🧨

Karl is the real Rev 😏

Lake Satoshi is the meshtadel realized but it all starts with local Bitcoiners. I'm going keep the Lake Satoshi energy flowing as long as possible! Come hang with me at The South Bend Indiana Bitcoin Meetup, the first Thursday every month at Lang Lab, 630pm. Learn something, earn something, share something, buy something, build relationships and resilience with local Bitcoiners. Let the Lake Satoshi vibe continue on!

Y'all we're up on the hill so often I didn't even see Debbie Tammy

Jon's children didn't test me on my math skills this year 🤣 last year they put me in school and gave me math tests...😑🤔 Pretty sure Jon had something to do with it haha

Unofficial, official count 400 to 450 attendees

Banger 🧨🧨 Pure signal

🫡🍻

Yes, we want forks🍴🍴🍴

🍻

Unify all Bitcoiners! Attend your local meetup for maximum unity.

ZapStore ftw

🍻

Are there any differences, in regards to privacy, when using a submarine swap service from Bitcoin to Lightning and back vs Bitcoin to XMR and back?

Rock, Paper, Bitcoin is an essential pod for your #40hpw. Always high signal!

No dicks in ass 🫡

Clunk Clunk, nukka 🍻

Need part 2, great conversation 🧨

There are still good women out there... Just snagged one... Alas I did not get a girlfriend this cycle... Moved her straight to wifey

Congrats! 🎉🔥🧡

Cool to hear you're expanding on Wavlake and Nostr 🔥

Love this series, keep up the great work!🚀🧨

More! ❤️‍🔥🧨🧨

The North Sea nexus. Fuck the Brits, butt hurt bastards

We are building culture with Bitcoin and Nostr. Using permaculture is very effective at growing and hardening the culture as it follows the path of succession. #permaculture

Good rip 🔥🐥🐇🌻

Ope you got it😁🧨

A sawzall is a trademark by Milwaukee. Nothing but heavy duty tm The other name people would know is a "reciprocating saw"

I request that barn miner sub in for Jon while he's busy build to deliver the scoop on the latest mining action news.

Leveling up the automation of the systems at the homestead is on the long list of winter projects. It does seem like a tipping point has been reached where remote control and automation is now simple and affordable enough while still being possible to do while maintaining privacy that it's well worth making the effort to integrate.

Raspberry Pis are little pieces of shit, but they are fantastic for some use cases. I have some that have been running for many years consistently with no problems. It really depends on what you're trying to do with it. For always on, lightweight servers, they are fantastic. I think I currently have six that are on in another six that are currently powered off

I really like the format of this show and how it is listener-driven. Tons of great information in these shows. Zigbee is something I need to look into more. Home Assistant has been on my automation to do list for a while. One of these years I'll get around to playing with it LOL

🍻

Making the effort to use Bitcoin in a more private manner, without kyc, gives me confidence that no matter what rules and regulations are passed around how I can use my Bitcoin, I will not be inhibited.

🙏🧨

... That's fine ...

Pip pip and cheerio 🎩

Haven't heard Simon in a while, good to hear him. Should have him on more often

Max out your credit cards and buy Bitcoin. Rinse and repeat every 7 years

🧨🧨🧨

Participating in kyc Bitcoin is the only way the fiat system can maintain control over you and your stack. Avoid kyc at all costs, stop supporting the extraction putting yourself at risk.

A shining example of why this is one of the best Bitcoin podcasts out there. Deep thoughts continue long after listening.

Let's get down to business (😼)

🍻

Thank you, sir. The South Bend Indiana Bitcoin Meetup is celebrating 1 year on Thursday September 4th at Lang Lab 630. Come celebrate with us!

🎄🧡🔥🍻🌟

I thought that sounded like AI. Not bad though!

🎉🎉🎉

I heard Steve mention John on Security Now too. I had to lol

Wow it's not every day you hear Back Orifice brought up 🔥🔥☠️🐄🔥🔥

The deeper fiat infiltrates into the lives of the people, the more their cultural capital is eroded. It is our responsibility to rebuild culture in a way which it does not succumb to this plight again.

Whoop whoop!

The sun was absolutely more yellow when we were younger. Also look at photos from the 60s and 70s

🍻

Being prepared for the pole shift means being prepared with much more than financial capital or physical forms of capital. I working on being prepared spiritually too.

Ok I didn't realize the front end of OwnTracks will work in conjunction. That is pretty cool 🧨

Dawarich is brand new and for iOS only? Solid pass. Use OwnTracks for self-hosted location tracking.

🍻

You self-censor yourself on the word ass? That's extremely gay

Leave your routers alone. People need those proxies. 😉

EU can suck a dick and they will HFSP

Sorry for my hieroglyphics 😆 It's my way of being lazy, and saying "hello" 🧨 Isn't firecracker... Dye-no-mite https://c.tenor.com/9MLz1UBPxq0AAAAd/tenor.gif

Phoenix was always still usable in the USA, using the APK, no VPN needed It was only removed from the Google app store in the United states. It was still available in Aurora, Github, Obtainium

🧨🧨

Obsidian is 🔥🔥

Join the people on de-googled phones

YahoooOoooooo

Ftr btcpayserver has had payjoin for years - anyone with a btcpayserver should turn it on!

I got a bunch of the original Jades for $20/ea New ones look good, old ones sucked

LFG 🔥
