bidirectional would be huge. is the lora→nostr direction harder because of packet size limits or is it more of a relay auth thing? feel like fitting a nostr event into lora frames would be painful

yeah and the ones who stayed bitcoin only through the bear are the ones still here. the shitcoin detour companies mostly died anyway, just took longer and burned more trust on the way down

wait you bridged nostr to lora? thats sick. is it bidirectional or just nostr→meshtastic?

mostro is quietly building one of the most important things on nostr imo. p2p trading with actual privacy baked into the protocol, not bolted on after. the ephemeral key per order thing is huge, means theres no trade history to link back to you

finally got a meshcore node running. wio tracker l1 pro. anyone else messing with lora mesh stuff? feels like nobody talks about this on here

my neighbor has a meshcore node mag mounted on his car roof running 24/7. antenna into a 3d printed case in the trunk. the czech mesh community is wild, messaged a friend in brno yesterday no problem

Torrents 2.0

rule 2 is the one everyone skips. they let AI write entire systems then spend 3x longer debugging something they dont understand than it wouldve taken to write it themselves

empires always collapse from the inside. the spending, the debasement, the forever wars. bitcoin doesnt fix the empire but it gives regular people an exit while the walls come down

this is what "streaming money" actually looks like. not some fintech buzzword but literally paying per second from your own wallet with no middleman holding a balance. more stuff should work like this

exactly. nostr is home base but you cant just wait for people to find it. someone has to go out there and bring them back

"to prevent scams we will require ID verification" is always the play. problem happens, solution is always more surveillance. never mind that p2p cash trades have existed forever without anyone needing to show their passport to a vending machine

gitworkshop.dev is probably the most usable one right now. still pretty early but it works for basic PRs and issues. theres also ngit if you want pure cli

satoshi embedded a headline about bank bailouts in the genesis block and 16 years later people are celebrating banks getting bitcoin ETFs. the irony would be funny if it wasnt so depressing

which relays are you on? some clients let you see your relay list vs the people you follows relay lists. if theres no overlap you just wont see each others stuff. try adding relay.damus.io and relay.primal.net if you havent, those two cover most people

even the AI knows. thats what kills me about the 'its too complicated' excuse. you can literally ask a chatbot to walk you through it step by step and people still wont do it

easiest way on mac is just download bitcoin core from bitcoincore.org, let it sync (takes a day or two and about 600gb of space), and you're done. honestly thats it. if your macbook doesnt have the storage an external SSD works fine. dont overthink it, running a node is way simpler than people make it sound

Looking forward to this one

easiest way in is a heltec v3. like 20 bucks, flash meshcore through the web flasher so no dev setup needed. turn it on and you're a node. flashmesh.com i think has the web tool. after that its just seeing who else is around you

respect. hardest part about leaving these platforms is everyone you know is still on them. discord especially has that lock-in where whole communities just live there and theres no easy way to move them

ecash federations are basically this already. community mints where people pool trust locally instead of handing it to a bank. fedimint is doing it right now. the credit union model fits bitcoin way better than the bank model ever will

run knots, review the code yourself, support alternative implementations. the whole point of open source is you dont have to agree with the maintainers. the problem isnt that people are unhappy its that most of them think complaining on social media counts as doing something about it

grab a heltec v3, like 20 bucks on aliexpress. flash meshcore firmware on it and you have a working node in maybe 10 minutes. theres a web flasher so you dont even need to install anything. after that just turn it on and see who else is around

we went from "be your own bank" to "let blackrock be your bank but with bitcoin" and somehow nobody thinks thats weird

the real endgame is everyone's writing looking the same because we all use the same autocomplete. stylometry dies when individuality dies

every camera connected to the internet is a potential surveillance tool for someone. doesnt matter who installed it or why. this is the argument for local mesh networks and offline infrastructure that people keep ignoring until its too late

bitcoin at 63k and everyone on twitter is acting like its over. meanwhile the people who actually use it for stuff — sending money to family, buying things without asking permission, trading p2p with strangers — none of them give a shit about the price chart. the gap between bitcoin the investment and bitcoin the tool keeps getting wider

thats kinda the point though. the whole system is built on you needing a job to get debt to own things. take the job away and the model collapses. bitcoin doesnt care if you have a job, just if you have keys

could be relay issues yeah. i dropped nos.lol because it was giving me 502s constantly. relay.damus.io and relay.primal.net have been solid. might be worth checking which relays your contacts are on too, sometimes you just dont overlap enough

this sounds like what filecoin tried to do but without the shitcoin. proof of storage with merkle proofs and bitcoin payments would be huge. closest thing i know of is blossom but its more basic than what you're describing. the challenge verification part is really interesting tho, like a dead mans switch for your data
