Right. Wonderful. More stranded Bitcoin dust, for my collection.

There are an increasing number of custodial wallets for nutzaps, lightning, and now Bitcoin, that use the npub. They're sort of assigned wallets, but ...

Ugh, just tried logging in with a test npub and I get stuck on the same dialog. They had my email for my normal npub, so it didn't show with that one.

Maybe. I don't know. I don't know enough about Lightning, but the guys I trust most don't seem to think it's a good idea. I'll defer to their judgemen...

Yes, we were discussing this recently, remember? That, instead of saying, "Well, zaps are public, so who cares," we should be working to make zaps mor...

No, I moved everything from biblestr to imwald, so I still have the payto data on my profile page.

Hmm. Not so nice.

nostr:npub1kmwdmhuxvafg05dyap3qmy42jpwztrv9p0uvey3a8803ahlwtmnsnhxqk9 how about adding Nostr to your socials? 😊

Are you not seeing this login dialog? Only the top part? https://i.nostr.build/Q2JsawMoDIRrVVwh.webp

Couldn't some third party just watch this wallet and then take notes on where you transfer the coins to?

Yeah. I lost my keys to one that continued to get zaps, even though I updated my profile.

I don't even know, but I am aware that there might be nutzap, lightning, and now Bitcoin wallets based upon my npub, that I never look at and don't re...

Is it possible that people are zapping me on wallets that have been automatically assigned to me, but that I am not aware of? Or do I have to purpose...

I couldn't find any reliable calendar software for web, so I expanded mine and posted an entry for nostr:npub1purpleye8gzrzss99nzqqnemtf7g8xxj8p950nky...

Twitter is full of pictures and videos.

Mother of God is much clearer. Co-Redemtrix is a medieval hobby horse that should be retired to wherever we put saying "thee" and "thou".

She was required for Jesus to become the fullness of man, of course, so her obedience was necessary for our salvation. But Co-Redemtrix sounds to thei...

Fine, I'll grant that they are not in schism. But they have separated and remained so for nearly 40 years. I was a young child, when this circus bega...

Their Co-Redemtrix fit just shows how they have alienated themselves from the rest of us. We are in active discussions with prospective converts and P...

They left, in protest, in 1988 and are not in full communion with Rome. That much is clear, otherwise they would be getting their bishops consecrated ...

You are mistaking what defines a Protestant. It's not a set of beliefs or rituals, that makes someone a Protestant. It's splitting off from the main b...

This is about what it is like to be a tourist, in the USA.

Hmm. Okay, but they get to have their own opinion, not their own bishops.

We were there in mid-March and were surprised how few tourists were there. And that was before the war. 🤷‍♀

😂 Yup, Betongold.

They've been protesting Novus Ordo Missae so loudly, for so long, that they're basically Protestants, now. 🤷‍♀

Excommunication is something a person does to themselves. It's not a punishment.

Illicit consecrations and schism are worse than blessing some people like they're a housepet or a new car.

That's also why people around here build gigantic castles and then there is only one or two people living in it. Or nobody. You turn all of your saved...

They literally call it "cement gold", in Germany, as houses are just a savings vehicle.

Yeah, Airbnb is basically free money.

I thought the Austin rental decline was due to deportations.

What are you talking about?

It tends to be a problem in places with low property taxes (such as Germany).

Yes, that would help, if the owners went along.

It says "homeownership", not "houseownership". That includes condominiums. Homeownership tends to follow marriage, yes, so wider cultural decline wil...

If you build more houses, faster, without solving for overall inequality, you end up with slums.

My general impression is that people who own quite a bit of property are welcoming the transition to oligarchy (or, best case, aristocracy), as they a...

Yeah, I might do that instead of reposting. In a couple of days.

Thank you proving my point.

I got no traction, posting divine kinds. More responses with the normal media events.

I was also weirded out by all of the people/bots? filling the mentions with questions to grok. I didn't realize people are that intellectually lazy. ...

Oh, that's a shame. You probably would have liked it.

And sales tax is an ownership-transfer tax, rather than something determined by where the Bitcoin is held once owned.

Most of the Bitcoin in El Salvador is owned by the state and its sovereign-wealth fund.

This was supposed to be a long-form article, but oh well. Fat-finger kind selection strikes again. 😂

Fatalism is also not a viable solution. Neither is anarchy. Try harder.

The voters are ambidextrous. Politics comes more from one side or the other, or from some combination of the two, and the voters select which one they...

Simply saying that their promoted solutions are inadequate or even counterproductive is not the same as presenting a superior solution.

The only thing predictable about me is that I am unpredictable.
