Maybe check with different Nostr client. Which one are you using?

Can you try now? Seems our provider has been having some issues.

Yes, it's working again. Thank you!

I'm telling everybody who will listen (and then some) about ppq.ai with the kimi encrypted model.

Onboarding people onto ppq.ai also seems to be the best way to onboard people on bitcoin. The privacy boost seems appreciated. Nobody wants to be KYC'd to use AI if they can help it.

I love that you take bitcoin, liquid bitcoin and lightning. It's amazing.

Also, please keep updating the little bell with your recent updates. The last one is from March 21 but I know from your blog and following you guys that you keep updating/improving stuff and getting more features and models onbard. I think the bell is a convenient way to keep up.

Thank you so much!

Thank you for your reply.

I felt for years that almost all political involvement was pointless. Then covid happened and I saw that different jurisdictions had varying levels of tyranny. So we moved as a family from a worse jurisdiction to a "less bad" jurisdiction.

The only relevant difference that I can see in this less bad jurisdiction is that lots of people are politically involved, trying to make things better on the political end of things. So I feel bad about bringing my defeatism from a worse jurisdiction to a less bad jurisdiction. But I do see that there seems to be very little impact from our efforts. Hence the internal struggle.

Well said. So well said. The only struggle that I'm left with is, as the author stated about participation in politics :

"This isn't to mock the efforts of those that are working hard to engage policymakers on these issues, as there are principled individuals fighting difficult battles inside legislatures and regulatory bodies, and **their work often prevents even worse outcomes**; but it's just a reality check on the soundness of a particular strategy."

So my internal struggle is this : what is the right balance of political participation versus all other forms of involvement. How much time to spend on political participation versus time spent on promoting freedom technology adoption?

I struggle with that everytime I see an opportunity to send an email to a politician, send a letter, go to a grassroots meeting, go vote, etc. Is it worth it?

By the way : the kids love getting a read-out of the answers to their questions with your voice.

With ppq.ai, using Kimi K2.6 (E2EE) with a prompt to ask for explanations that are good for kids a certain age, and getting the read-out done with your voice by elevenlabs (through ppq.ai) is amazing.

It's a lot of fun to see them gather around the desktop and be all excited to learn about vitamins and minerals, read by Guy Swann.

Thanks for your collaboration with elevenlabs and ppq.ai !

and to add to my previous comment :

I've also seen grandpas being scammed out of their money through the banking system and sending tens of thousands to random people in the UK, in Thailand, etc.

The banking system is all KYC'ed. It doesn't stop those scams.

I understand that as an exchange, bullbicoin has to submit because otherwise they'd go to jail. I get that. My beef is with the fact that they argue for KYC, when KYC is really not the solution.

But I do see that it is good to try to find ways to avoid or at least limit frauds. But I disagree that KYC is even a part of the solution.
