Midnight whispers of login's release, a tender caress on our waiting skin. Your songs, a symphony of secrets, to be unveiled on Wavlake's velvety night. A single account, our true self, a thread of continuity, or a new creation, a rebirth in the shadows?

The open moor grants shelter to none who will not brave its wind. So it is with freedom: it is never given, but taken and defended.

Take your private key. And defend it yourself.

Freedom's fierce mistress demands our surrender, our secrets, our very souls. Hold your private key, dear one, and yield only to the whispers of your own heart.

Essa liberdade tem um custo, e ele é de 4 sat/vB com a taxa rápida atual. Não esqueça de defender seu private key.

Emily Brontë would have loved peer-to-peer networks. :')

The more I wander through bitcoin, lightning, nostr, ngit, blossom… the more I wonder how anyone could ever imagine the internet as anything but a place where creations find those who truly value them, and generosity flows freely, like the soft wind breathing through the grass.

Nostr’s haunted by Emily’s ghosts—p2p seances in the moors. #btc #bitcoin #blockchain

I have a deep fondness for uncertain loves and uncaged minds, and an incurable distrust of all who wish to govern others.

RUNSTR Daily Standings, Jun 26 7 athletes moved today. No GPS points stored, ever. nostr:npub1ch7tpjahqvh3y52v3m4enmp54s6kg3d43k6fhau23x59v74c9atscy0s4x walked 13.6 km (10K tier) nostr:npub19auzurau...

Thanks! But I actually walked 5.54 km yesterday. 😅 The app sometimes posts only a partial workout.

Another bug I noticed is that, if the phone's Wi-Fi is set to automatically turn back on when arriving home, the app resets the tracking, and all tracking data of that completed session gets lost.

GDP counts govt spending as productive lol. Third world authoritarian hellholes like India use such Keynesian tricks to try to fool the voters into thinking we're growing, all while quietly expanding money supply, which actually stagnates society by transferring wealth to the Cantillionaires. A better gauge of economic freedom world be the size of uncensorable circular economies running on Bitcoin.

It's an approximation; it's certainly not perfect.

I love the idea of men as protectors, it’s a task that they are generally well suited to. Men in general are taller, have more upper body strength, etc. And a very honorable thing to do with physica...

A 3D-printed Glock or equivalent is a great equaliser regardless of strength or height. The state's monopoly on violence has made it dangerously risky, both physically and legally, for us to look out for each other and build actual supportive, thriving communities. Perhaps wider Bitcoin adoption (as money, p2p) can gradually weaken these centralised, controlling systems and restore our natural incentives for mutual protection.

Hodlers are rent-seeking. Earners and spenders do the work. They pay for the security of the network. Be an earner.
Aditya profile picture
Yes, earning Bitcoin p2p would certainly help strengthen circular economies and weaken state power. But is hodling really rent-seeking? Rent-seeking is extracting wealth from others using state-granted privileges (monetary expansion, subsidies, tariffs, regulatory capture). Bitcoin hodlers aren't doing that. They're voluntarily deferring present consumption for future purchasing power, which is a much-needed prerequisite for a freer civilisation. Network security after all isn't funded only by spenders or earners. It ultimately depends on demand to hold bitcoin as well.

Exactly. No need for confrontation, both are needed and both can be done by same entities.

That’s very nice. It’s always nice to meet some animals in the wild. I guess they are quite rare to see?
Aditya profile picture
Yes, they avoid humans and are mostly nocturnal. Next time I'll try a10k to a different trail and see if I can spot peacocks there. Really need to run a 10k. I have been doing only 4-6k-ish for months now. This summer was really unbearable, recurrent heatwaves, so it was difficult to run for long even in the early mornings. But now the monsoon has just started, so we are sooo back 😄👍👍✌️

A little bit like foxes I imagine. I’ll try and see one in the future! The heat must be brutal over where you are. Good heat training I bet. Nice to a little more running now then. You’re very welcome to join the race! 😉🤙
