This may ve a good thread to ask an (somewhat unrelated) question: my relay kept crashing (strfry) and I‘ like to have another go at it: which relay software do you recommend (I have ample resources)?

Bitcoin is counter-culture: leaderless, permissionless, trustless, censorship-resistant, and discussed at an unconference.

I’d say it is for teen science nerds, only

„We'll see that sex, and even the origin of two sexes, is explained by the constraints of this same form of energy generation. And beyond that we'll see that our terminal decline into old age and death also stems from the small print of the contract that we signed with our mitochondria two billion years ago.“ - Nick Lane in Power, Sex, Suicide

In the late 80ies and early 90ties I spent all my time on molecular and cellular biology which earned me a PhD in the natural sciences. This is not a bragging exercise but the preamble to a book recommendation. Granted I studied three decades ago, it is nevertheless amazing how much more clarity and insights I get from Nick Lane‘s books. Had he been my professor then I might never have gone down the software engineering path, might have missed Bitcoin altogether 😬. So, if you have a friend or family member who studies biology - here is the perfect gift 🍀. #biology #mitochondria #energy #life #genesis

I find it both fascinating and surprising how much of the publishing world (including posts and podcasts) is increasingly synchronized daily, with ideas starting with a thought leader on one end of the world and ending with a poll among the people on the other within 24 hours. I admire people who take the time to breed their own ideas to fruition. And I need to remind myself to be more critical of what I read, even if it sounds compelling at first: do I really want to read, digest, and adopt it? Or do I let it pass?

Congratulations to https://thenuttypill.netlify.app for winning the Golden Nut in the #nutnovember contest. It's a really cool Bitcoin history and learning app that rewards knowledge with sats.

Nostr is a meta-world 😂, nobody seems to even register the x,xx billion trillion buckerinies and comments go straight to biology.

You have a point. However, I think that like with Ethereum in 2017 Zcash revenge/frustration investors need to understand when it is time to come back to Bitcoin.

Arabic numerals is a fancy way of saying 0-9, no? Sounds like a solid basis for all levels. secp256k1 on roman numerals?
