Have any of our esteemed autists unleashed these AI tools on US Annotated Code or US Tax Code? No one reads that shit and the plebs need access to better resources when it comes to navigating the fiat cesspool.

I've been using an excel spreadsheet to track my personal finances for the last 5-6years and thanks to Cursor and nostr that is going by the wayside. This weekend I built the baseline for a personal finances tracking application that puts all my data into replaceable event kinds and stores them on a self hosted NIP42 auth with npub whitelisted relay. All data encrypted with NIP44. I built an android app and a Linux .deb app that both retrieve the data from the relay and present it to me and let me edit and add to it on either platform. Excel is great but you're trapped by Microsoft and stuck to a computer (also microsoft office tools are now another fucking subscription) and the Mint type tools don't handle bitcoin transactions and tracking. Im sick of having 80 fucking apps just to track my finances and I'm sick of letting companies mine my financial data to sell me ads. Nostr, AI, and self hosting is the future and the future is now. This shit is magical.

People who bought bitcoin early (2010-2015) are not any smarter or better than anyone else. They were idealists and either had a deep resentment for govt and/or understood what many understand now (but didn't back in this time frame), that the current fiscal situation in America/world is untenable. Some may argue that this previous point proves that they were smarter, but that isnt true. Being hyperfocused on a given subject just makes you autistic and they were autistic about the right subject at the right time. They had the advantage of being in social circles that were adjacent to bitcoin (information arbitrage). And they believed so strongly that a digital money was the future, they bet big and won. Watching OGs dump coins and become bears isn't surprising. These people (for the most part) don't care about America/West or the policies that the current administration is trying to implement to atleast stem societal decline and reverse decades of globalist policies bent on making the whole of humanity slaves (here come the "you're a Trump bootlicker" idiots). They don't like the Trump admin (or any other govt) and they resent the fact that bitcoin is becoming a part of the state (this was always going to happen if bitcoin was going to "win"). The OGs never really believed in the promise of bitcoin if they dumped their coins as soon as bitcoin became politically relevent. They just wanted to get rich and fuck off, which is perfectly fine. This is why the price dumped and I'm actually surprised it hasn't dumped more. Bitcoiners seem to be the best at one thing and that's constantly fighting with each other instead of the parasites that are fucking us all.

I've been working on an application that uses nostr at its core called Cypher Log. It's not another social media site but rather a re-envisioned way to help manage all the complexities and tasks associated with running a home and storing information about your life. The goal of the site is to help track the more innocuous things that always get forgotten or lost. It stores info of when you bought furniture/applianaces/things and the documents associated with them, car maintenance and information, companies and services you use but put the contact details on sticky note you can't find, pet information and vet visit info, tracking warranties on products you bought, and planning/tracking small home DIY projects. I'm looking for feedback if anyone is interested in trying it out.

Everything is open source and its encouraged to run your own relay and blossom server to host the data for privacy reasons but if you choose to host the data on public relays everything is NIP44 encrypted so no one can read your intimate details. Pdf/image uploads require a blossom server and do not guarantee privacy unless the server is personal. Access all your information on any device through a browser or a PWA that works pretty well (atleast on android, I dont have an iphone). I think it may even be possible to connect an open claw agent via a NIP26 delegatee key that can manage and add new data to the site without having to do it yourself. Which is batshit crazy and awesome and an avenue i may pursue.
