These are damaging times for Bitcoin, getting more aligned with Yahtzees for the last several months, starting more or less in Nashville. It could be the worst thing to happen to BTC?

Ok I’m trying OpenVibe. Hooked up some of my socials that are decentralized in one way or another. So far so good. We’ll see how it goes! Maybe we can do sosh medes and be less dependent on broligarchs.

(Will this post to each of my connected accounts? I think so. Maybe? Still learning...)

A side effect of monitoring local fires here in L.A. is seeing on the Watch Duty map many prescribed fires around the West.

Studies confirm that this strategy helps. The Forest Service has made changes around Rx fires, new approaches launched in 2022, should be helpful over time.

Hopefully the incoming incompetents won't roll back these changes, but who knows with the orange clown closet.

I don't even like Trump but he was talking about forest management practices to reduce fire risk back before COVID and most people on the left just made fun of him for suggesting that the forests be "raked". Unlikely these changes will get rolled back

I consider myself as a progressive, but in my experience that conversation isn't even happening in the places where it needs to be happening. It is instead being politicized and mainstream outlets typically point to climate change as the only driver and not the mismanagement, which perpetuates the p...

I'm into Bitcoin because I hope we can get to a place without permanent inflation. Inflation has averaged ~ 3% throughout my lifetime. It ends up funneling wealth from wage earners to those with hard assets. There are some other public policies that contribute to income equality, but this is one of the big ones, even though it's but a steady trickle. Pretty sure it's the only trickle that actually moves money and the direction is up, not down.

Anyway, I assume people reading like will mostly agree. Feel free to zap me if you do agree ... or if you miss the zapathons.

Feature request: I would like to be able to click on the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy links on my iPhone.

I can see that there are links as I make the bottom of the Wallet screen appear by holding my finger to the screen as I scroll up, but the moment I try to click a link, I have lifted my finger from the screen, and the links disappear below the fold. It's impossible to visit those links. Please design for all resolutions, including iPhone SE screens (375x667).

A bigger comment: This Wallet screen is baffling to me. It asks for highly sensitive data and does not say why. There is no help, no docs. Somewhat of a worst-case scenario for KYC, trustworthiness, etc.

I will continue to use Primal on the web and hope Primal for the phone gets there. I see the improved design on the phone and remain hopeful!

Collecting KYC info is a legal requirement for offering a custodial wallet service. Agreed, we need to do a better job communicating this; it's on our to-do list for the next release. The Privacy Policy and Terms of Service links should work from within the app. Maybe it's an issue with smaller sc...
