Working with ChatGPT is like working with an optimistic colleague who takes one step at a time and takes feedback really well. This is me and ChatGPT writing a little Rust program that calculates the final seedword for a set of 11 or 23. The draft was straightforward; if the code failed to compile, I would poke back and get these replies. It is funny how it would say, "You are slicing..." when the code was written by ChatGPT just five minutes ago. However, with a bit of tweaking, I got a working program. - Ah, good catch! That’s due to a change in the crate structure in the newer versions of bip39. The MnemonicType was moved or renamed. - Ah yes — another subtle change in the bip39 crate! - Ah! Got it — thanks for catching that. The issue here is that in the newer bip39 crate versions, Language is an enum, and its word list is not accessed via .wordlist() anymore. - Ah yes — this error means you're slicing a string (&bits[..entropy_bits_required]) at a character index that doesn’t exist. Let's break it down...

Wenn ich richtig gerechnet habe, dann beträgt die Masse aller bisher ausgegebenen Bitcoin zusammen um die 30 kg (https://www.bitcoinweesen.ch/wie-schwer-ist-bitcoin).
I get it: "Enjoy silence with us." Honesty is so convincing. Comparison with other social media: "No users. :D (but it's fixable!)" ✔️. Motivation: "What's more fun than making your own social network, and then being the only user on it, right?" ✔️. This is going to be fun. It looks as if the value of the up-and-coming networks lies in the fact that they are too small, too niche, and too quiet for the vicious, the boring and the posers.

GM - I completed the new backup project using the proxmox backup server software running on a supermicro hardware (this plus Bitcoin = peace of mind 🧘♂️)
Probably even an entire column 🍀

I could use some help. Every time I try to sign into a new app using nos2x-fox, I get 12 pages of signing requests from yakihonne.com. What is happening, and how can I get rid of it?

GM 🍀 friends - my coffeemaker takes about 20 minutes to get ready - enough to fold stacking sats into the morning routine

Vlad, could you please try to get Eric onto Nostr?

In the eyes of governments, the ability to control a coin is a significant plus. Naturally, Bitcoin is a bit weak in that dimension and needs to be supplemented with pre-mined p.o.s. coins, preferably with a CEO.
Life is so much easier for those who stay flexible and adapt quickly. Resisting unavoidable change leads to depression and grumpiness. Every once in a while, it is essential to resist and alter the natural flow of the world. However, unless this is done in a homeopathic dosage, there is a high risk of burnout. Why not enjoy the ride along the flow of the world and work with it rather than against it?
I think I should have used the word profiteering instead of corruption. Corruption only exists outside of the law, while legally profiteering is perfectly possible. The effect is the same: money earned unethically. Hear Woody Harrleson talk about it (and many other relevant topics) in this great conversation with Joe Rogan (https://youtu.be/ztXzOIH7x10). nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzq0dhefp236puqj749n5rd2vp3dhfq5hfuw4gt53v9v78zhcjr7t0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3ezucnpdejz7qpqm983vjfrvh3m4vlx8a3ms4tvtdjzat0ejv6kdn47fvx5ksgq3djqq4r4yr
What is the easiest way to collect all my posts into a json file and inject them into my own relay (strfry)?

So much good stuff is happening for Bitcoin and the people who believe in it, the people who built it, and the people who are building it. It's incredible. This is very inspiring and a fantastic start to the year.
Downloaded the latest @blockstream green wallet (2.0.17) to a MacBook Pro (Ventura 13.7.2) from blockstream.green. The software crashed immediately upon startup (I tried it on two different laptops). Then, I resorted to the previous version (2.0.16), which worked as expected. I hope that no newcoiners will experience the same.

We are zapping. If you host your own lightning address: amazing. If you know the dude or chick who hosts your lightning address: very cool. If you use npub.cash, 1a. If you are on Wallet of Satoshi: it's a start. One step at a time on low time pref.
This is the view from down below; taken on a sailing trip to Norway two years ago. There are people standing on the edge...
I just zapped this note from https://mint.mountainlake.io ✔️
The closer to facts the more ChatGPT acts like a patient teacher. As the conversation gets a more human touch, ChatGPT turns into a very smart mirror.
a few seconds later: thanks for the code, chmod u+x chat4egge & ./chat4egge ... and pray 😎
My goal for Q1 is to ramp up my computing setup: put redundant components in place for instant fail-over switching, and create more capacity for Bitcoin, lightning, cashu, and nostr. Everything without asking for permission and the certainty that Bitcoin will not fail should I screw up any of the config or wiring. The power of de-centralization goes goes far for all of us.
