Grrat episode!

This came up on my Spotify feed and reminded me I should zap it. https://fountain.fm/track/168PYUnPqaIEmcrXkBTb @nevent1qvzqqqp…

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.

👍

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.

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? 🦆

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.

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?

Hopeless Romantic by Bouncing Souls is one of my favorite punk songs of all time! @npub1dnzzyhmew… is so cool!

The headline hidden in the scriptpubkey(hex) is one of my favorite things about the protocol. The bailout reference is cool, but the function is even cooler. I know everyone says "Bitcoin is backed by energy," but I don't think that's quite right. The newspaper ties the Bitcoin timestamp server into the real world(Gregorian Calendar). Bitcoin is backed by time. The process of creating this timestamp server on a peer to peer network takes energy, but the purpose is to back Bitcoin by time. You've said it yourself. I once heard you say Bitcoin is basically a clock, but I think it's more than that. Bitcoin is a new clock. Time is money, like Benjamin Franklin said, but Bitcoin is a new clock. I wish more people knew this. @nevent1qqsvqy9…

I made a video about using PPQ to generate AI images two years ago. I think it's one of the coolest tools I've ever seen.

Dude, BIP39 words with Shamir Secret Sharing on an open standard is like a wet dream I once had.😅

The camera is so cool!

Using blossom to fight bitrot is a great idea.

@npub10vlhsqm4q… NFT's on bitcoin are dumb, but I like miniscript. It's too complex for my wife to use without help, but Anchorwatch is doing some cool things with it. 😊

I used the Square terminal in Vegas. I paid QR codes wirh Zeus wallet + AlbyHub. I bet the merchants have a lightning address too, but I'm not sure.

@npub1jr525zmjj… Do you know of any other mobile wallet with silent payment support?
