I started off my journey as a shitcoiner in 2017 too 🤷 took me years to figure it out

So did I. Why I specified "long term" shitcoiners. Some people experience heroes' journey.

People who stay shitcoiners long term willingly choose zerosum games over a positive sum winning strategy. They often justify it as: "I know bitcoin is the money and can make the world better, but people are still gonna pump me 10x if I can just hold this bag of shit and convince other people it's worth something."

I was a shitcoiner long before you even heard about Bitcoin. Back in the day there was no hate between projects (except for Ripple). This started with the block size war and rightfully escalated during the ICO craze which was "crypto" looking for a new meaning after Bitcoin de-adopton started in ea...

I do wonder if a growth strategy might be to make some shitcoin clients and relays to bring crypto bros in considering the bitcoiners would rather stay close to Saylor on Twitter maybe we'll have bet...

You will quickly realize that any long term shitcoiners are shitty people inside and out. Net negative.

If people need nostr for something then that will be more organic growth. If they don't, why try to sell them on it? That's like hiring for DEI, or printing fiat money... Dilution, inflation, artificial growth, all cause more unintended consequences than they solve for. Let's just keep working on making the best software possible, and keeping it free of middlemen and rentseekers.

Yep. Ive been talking about this forever. They constantly say they don't "store your messages" but they say nothing of the summaries, analysis, derivative data.

We need derivitive privacy protections, but it will never come through our corrupt governments.

Yeah, the derivative stuff is what gets me. What would actually push back on it?

Everyone accepts that AI agents will run 24/7 on your devices. But suggest running a Lightning node and suddenly it's "unrealistic." It's the same thesis.

Never forget the middle school cheerleaders that learned HTML and JavaScript to put custon music on their MySpace. It's always about how much you care and never about the actual obstacle at hand. People saying it's too hard should be actively shamed for being more retarded than a 12 year old

On minibits-cash github. Still early version, missing readme. All minibits related variables are in the .env, so that it can be deployed by other mint operators without code change, to speedup recovery from their owm mint.
