🎯 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

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.
wartimeMar 18, 2026

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

One of the more reasonable guests, but ignoring the previous cycles as just random they all match up is silly. No 60K is not bottom. 46K is coming. & no not going to zero. He said same thing about going below 25K in 2022 and we went down another 40% or so, we always overdo it and we will see 50K break.

We are in the bear part of cycle, we aren’t bottoming here, we will bottom close to 40K, we always do , last time was 15K, from 69K, how can u seriously say we are close to bottoming only 4 months out from cycle high?

Personally my favorite trilogy is episode 44-45-46 go back and listen if your new here and caught on post episode 50. Starting at episode 1 makes most sense but if ur a casual listener I’m telling u 44-46 is a trilogy that should be put on CD and mailed to e dynamical citizens. Good Job Moe! You too Adam!

I'm not picking a side here. I just want to clarify Mechanic's point as I understand it. A scammer just needs to get Granny to double-click on an application that does those things automatically. Fetch op return data from a block on the chain, does whatever parsing and chopping, and then runs it locally on her machine (stealing her credit card number or passwords or whatever arbitrary malicious malware activity). If the scammer hosted this malware on his own server, downloads would leave a paper trail that investigators could follow. Uploading the malware to any other public server would likely be blocked or filtered by whatever security and content restrictions that plarform has. his point is the Bitcoin blockchain becomes the least filtered, easiest place to upload that sort of thing. whether one sees this as a problem or not is up for debate, but I wanted the argument to at least be clear.

you asked how the bill pay thing works for me: i get "bank account and routing numbers" from Strike, where i have a bitcoin balance and zero USD. i put that "bank" account number in my credit card, mortgage, car payment, etc. - literally everywhere. so all my USD bills are paid from my bitcoin "checking account" balance in Strike. importantly, i have an auto-withdraw threshold on Strike where anything above that amount is moved to a (new) address in my cold storage automatically. so life is like: get paid in bitcoin; "checking account" balance stays in Strike for monthly expenses; excess above that is automatically hodled in cold storage. it's actually fairly mindblowing...

Assuming the money printers are about to go in full blast and being wrong would void this whole argument. It will come eventually but you underestimate the pain needed to bring in agenda 2030 and it’s possibly not going to zero rate and infinity printing soon.

@npub12rv5lskct… said "get in touch with me directly if you want to work on/with #cashu". 🙋‍♂️Hi, right here! I'm respecting his "don't Nostr DM me" profile note but wasn't able to find him in my Matrix client... I want to use trusted Cashu mints as a fundamental piece of an escrow system that backs a free market of bounties and work-for-hire (over Nostr, of course) I already have a minimally-viable relay implementation and a web client that handles the happy-path actions. I've integrated zaps for escrow payments and funds dispersal. Deeply-embedding Cashu mints into the escrow system will really take this idea where it needs to go. If you're ever available to share some thoughts on the design or provide some Cashu guidance I would be deeply appreciative @npub12rv5lskct… ! You know where to find me. Thanks! (If I don't respond to a DM it means I definitely didn't see or receive it. Tag me in a note in that case!)
