***"I think I got kind of orange-pilled and privacy-pilled in this way when Snowden exposed all this surveillance that was happening by default through every system you've ever touched. That's when I started treating all digital infrastructure as inherently recording devices. They're trying to take information and, even if someone doesn't really want or intend to store the information, it's possible that it gets leaked through a hack. And when it comes to money, that reveals all the relationships someone has. And without privacy, there's no way for that to be free. For Bitcoin to kind of...

Very few plebs on nostr. There is no glazing on nostr. Nostr feels like home if you are doing the work and building the future. Nostr is pure first turning vibes. You can join us, but you won't like it here unless you're producing real things that the community wants.

Mid and upper models of Flair Espresso maker are plastic free in the brewing areas and around $400-500. Tradeoff is it’s manual but that is just more proof of work. Pair with a metal hot water kettle and you’re all set.

If it doesn’t have in app unilateral exit, it’s custodial, period. This is not negotiable. If something is not implemented then it simply doesn’t exist for the average user. 99.99999% of Spark users don’t even know a CLI app exists let alone how to use it. Without local caching and unilateral exit actually implemented in the app and having hard dependency on operator cooperation to exit then it’s custodial. Listen I actually like Spark and think it makes reasonable tradeoffs in a world without covenants, but as it stands it’s a custodial product. Happy to revise this once we see an actual implementation of unilateral exit and more operators and LSPs, but it’s just the honest reality today.

So many great takes in this. NVK did dominate the podcast circuit and was an asshole to his competitors. Red flags for any brands or influencers that exhibit similar behavior... 110 is a perfect example of this IMHO.

This was a fantastic rip with Giacomo and it's not because I agree with virtually all of his opinions, which I do, but that's not why. It's because this pod is a perfect example of why there should be more Bitcoin podcasts. Giacomo's opinions are nuanced and cannot be easily communicated in a tweet and wouldn't be as widely appreciated in a long form note or article, his opinions needed a podcast to be fully communicated and appreciated. Podcasts are what killed the woke left because their opinions were not nuanced and could not be articulated with meaning in a long form discussion. This is how I find signal through the noise. Thank you both for giving the correct level of nuance to your opinions. 🙏

Start9 products are objectively really great. Disappointed to see them actively push BIP 110 activation client when it still had consensus critical bugs that would’ve lost users money if a core contributor hadn’t found and disclosed. You can’t claim to be neutral and use your X to actively push a specific client. Offer them all without endorsement and honestly disclose the level of review. In the past the team has bragged about the level of review in the start9 App Store so turning around software the same day it is released on GitHub that has consensus bugs (regardless of the ideology) is a very disappointing. Again awesome tech and awesome work. Learn and grow friends.

What is the use case for Arca versus an Umbrel? Umbrel for picture and non sensitive storage and Arca can save highly sensitive items like passwords or seeds?

easy for Bitkey to not show seeds by default, but allow you to access them behind a scary advanced user don’t give this to anyone for any reason warning. Just refusing to provide any seed access at all is disappointing.
