Ironic that this meme had issues being displayed. Trying again, this time to nostr.build as the primary upload destination. nostr:nprofile1qqs9xtvrphl7p8qnua0gk9zusft33lqjkqqr7cwkr6g8wusu0lle8jcpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgqghwaehxw309ahx7um5wgh8qctjv46x7tn5damku6lwsar something is wonky with your blossom server this morning.

It’s ok I’ll zap you 10k 1-sat zaps at some point 🤣🤣

☕️☀️

Testing Cashapp’s new feature paying a bitcoin invoice from USD. Invoice created in Wallet of Satoshi. Paid as USD, received as bitcoin. Zero fees. Amazing 🔥🚀

The day eventually came when $10K was just a memory and $100K seemed unbelievable. Cheaper sats are a blessing.

Don’t believe them when they show up. Believe them when they stay.

I’ve spent the last week and a half thinking on this post and the future of my “Corndalorian” pseudonym. Allow me to just reflect a bit. I started this pseudonym on Twitter back in early 2021, as my interest in bitcoin began to grow. It was a way for me to engage with other bitcoiners, separate from my real world identity. No one that I knew in real life was into bitcoin, and in fact whenever I had tried bringing it up with friends/coworkers/family, they were completely dismissive of it. I had also grown exhausted of the putrid “left vs. right” politics on social media during the 2020 election season, and I could see that polarization continuing and even worsening with all of the Covid craziness heating up at that time. So, creating a pseudonym was a way for me to dive in head first with my curiosity about bitcoin without the weight of my real world relationships interfering, and separate from politics (so I thought). 😂 Imagine my surprise when I realized just how much politics come into play with bitcoin because of the problems it solves. In addition to giving me the social freedom to explore bitcoin, I also found that using a pseudonym gave me an outlet to make memes, crack jokes, and otherwise explore/express ideas, with less self-censoring than if I was using my real name. I haven’t always used that freedom well, as I have undoubtedly and admittedly said some things I later regretted—things I probably would not have said so quickly under my real name—but in the grand scheme of things, using a pseudonym has absolutely been a net positive for me. Perhaps most importantly, it has allowed me to meet and interact with some really amazing people on Twitter and now here on Nostr that I probably never would have otherwise. So what does this all have to do with my post from last week? When I started using Nostr in 2022, I immediately saw it as a place where the rubber meets the road in regard to bitcoin and free speech. Whereas Twitter had been a place where freedom and bitcoin were talked about a lot, I found Nostr to be a place where freedom is a reality and bitcoin is a functionally integrated into the network. The freedom to speak, associate, interact, and transact on my terms is baked into the very DNA of every app on Nostr. Since joining Nostr, I have continually wondered how I might further utilize it to express myself and connect with other likeminded people. I’m not a dev; I am a communicator. I don’t build apps; I use apps to speak. Many of you know me as a memer. (I love memes.) My fellow 2022/23 nostriches remember me as part of the once-glorious Nostr Report. A couple of you might know me as a musician. And I’m sure some of you just think I’m an asshole (haha). A few of you have truly become friends, and I cherish those connections. In all of my time on Twitter and now here on Nostr, I have primarily focused on a narrow, albeit important, scope of topics—bitcoin and nostr. These are crucial technologies for protecting freedom, and I will continue to advocate for them, but at the end of the day they are tools for communicating and transacting with other people more freely; they are not freedom itself. They are neither the most important things in my life nor are they the essence of my worldview. My worldview is shaped and defined by, and my freedom is found only in, my belief in and relationship with Jesus Christ. Everything else flows from that, and everything in my life, including Bitcoin and Nostr, exists to serve Him and His purpose or ultimately it has no value to me. Last week when Charlie Kirk was assassinated, my conscience was jolted. I watched, as many of you did, as a man was graphically murdered for nothing more than communicating his views. I then then watched as he and his family, and anyone who spoke out against his murder, were subsequently mocked and ridiculed by people filled with so much hate that they could not bring themselves to show an ounce of sympathy and civility in the face of what had happened. I was utterly disgusted by what I was seeing, so I decided to take some time away from social media. I am saddened that the inhumanity of some continues to be displayed, but I am also not surprised. I don’t know if I agreed with Charlie Kirk on everything, but then again I don’t agree with anyone on everything, and that doesn’t matter anyway for the sake of this discussion. What I do know is that no one should be murdered for speaking about their views and beliefs, and that none of us should take for granted the freedom of speech that we enjoy, especially here on Nostr. What I have come to realize in all this is that I am no longer content taking such a narrow focus with the things I talk about here. I’m not ready to lose the pseudonym…I’ve actually grown rather fond of The Corndalorian…but my life is about so much more than nostr and bitcoin, and it’s time I start letting that be known on here. What good, after all, is a free speech protocol if I don’t use it to speak about the things that are most important to me? I would expect no less from anyone else. I don’t fully know what that will look like in practice. I assure you, you can still expect memes. Maybe you’ll like what I have to say, and maybe you won’t. That’s not for me to decide. It is for me to be authentic, and speak and seek truth. Anyway, this was long. Thanks for sticking around to the end. Have a good Saturday. I’ll check in later. I have a busy day with family about to start. 💜🫂 nostr:nevent1qqsy3pstsj7a4v9e4zf5g8sdycqus33av4n56rfx7llszlpfh86vmwc99x07v

I doubt other people’s definitions of normal/sane. Maybe I’m the normal one. 🤔

Zaps still feel this way over 2 years later 😂🤯

I reset my mobile data stats and then used Primal for about 20 minutes, TikTok for about the same, and Nostur for about 10 minutes, and this is what the data usage looks like for each. Oof 😂 nostr:nevent1qqs057q92ezawlutqvtdg85gpyr6zqx0hmj9345clymp587u034ft4spzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqm7s8k

Reposted because nostr.build is amazing

Clocking in for work at The Nostr. Gm everyone ☕️

What do they know anyway? 💜🫡

Showing up on nostr announcing you’ve quit 𝕏 yet again like it’s a fashion statement gets old. Why quit if you’re just gonna go back when you start to miss the engagement? 😂

He has me muted so he doesn’t even get to see these masterpieces I make. 😂

For all you parents of little ones 😂

How is it so hard to understand that people here simply like nostr, and that you can’t force anyone to like something you made just because you say it is “better? User culture and adoption don’t care about claims of technical superiority. 😂

How to orange-pill

Lmao I shit you not. I just showed my wife that 4 people zapped this 27 sats and she said “Wow good job honey” and went right back to what she was doing. 🤣🤣 nostr:nevent1qqs9j7jvy5y4ja9dsf87v7yzm4uvert28hkuffemyndet4mc09k3pgqpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgj7pr2q

Wife’s car died today. It had a good run. RIP

This would be the funniest way to mine a block 😂

Why do I post so much about zaps and V4V? Because I, like many of you, grew up watching the internet and social media go from being something that was fun, that enabled truly free personal expression, to being full of censorship, dominated by corporate-approved media, completely ruined by advertising, and I really want nostr to continue to be something better than that. It can be. It must be. Otherwise, what’s the point?

“Switch to nostr and you’ll never have to see a Dan Held post again” seems like a good way to convince the remaining bitcoiners on X to finally make the switch.

Happy Father’s Day gents 💪🫡

This is so awesome. Uploaded using Nostur (latest TestFlight) and it automatically mirrored to both my nostr.build and Primal media storage. Primal and Nostur now both support blossom servers to give redundancy, and thus more censorship resistance, to your media uploads. 🔥🚀 nevent1qqswvur0slsfkay4qz9kk783xhka3x45cwr5578qm5t0yhj57zuagqqpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3eryvfwvdhk6msrw3z

Why do bitcoiners who never plan to spend their bitcoin anyway care so much about how others use block space?

Why don’t nostr more clients have zap splits yet? It would be a major boost to #value4value

Just pay people what their time/talent is worth. Doesn’t matter the currency. Anything less is hypocritical.

Me: “Wen gif button?” Devs vibe coding some new pointless bullshit:

lol 😂 The “Bitcoin fixes this” trope gets overused to the point that it loses meaning. Bitcoin fixes a lot of what is broken with money. Money is a fundamental tool of civilization, so better money is a good thing. But it’s up to people to use it to “fix” their corners of the world. Bitcoin is just a tool without good people willing to put it to good use.

Makes sense. I didn’t mean to imply that the booth organizer was doing it, but just thinking maybe someone seeing it’s being used there took the opportunity to try and attack the service.

Lolol hey I bet you’re trending now! 🤣

Lol, zapping yourself from a different wallet 😂

Signups to nostr can’t be limited because there’s nothing you absolutely have to sign up for to use it. You only need to sign and publish a note and BOOM you’re using nostr and anyone can read it. All the additional stuff like media hosting, NIP-05 registration, etc., enhances the experience but you can still publish using nostr without any of that.

US user profiles are geotagged so even with a VPN you can’t login. Also the user data was hosted by a US company (Oracle) and they and other providers servicing TikTok are required by the law to now cut off access for those users.

Hahaha 🤣 Where do you see this stat btw?

You don’t have to. You already know, as does everyone else who still uses that client.

😂 I’m curious if other people use the feature to hide lower amount zaps. Wallet of Satoshi has it. Primal has it too and since Primal’s is integrated with the nostr client you can set a minimum threshold to see a notification, and/or to hide the transaction in your wallet. The sats are still received and other people still see the zap on your post, but it hides it from your notifications. I use it to hide very small zaps like this.

Let’s be honest, at the end of the day this all comes down to gif buttons in clients.

Idk who needs to hear this, but have never once in my entire life opened up a social media app to find dietary advice.

As they say, “People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.” 😂

I’m the guy on the left 😂
