So if they got too popular they'd risk the security of Bitcoin? Sounds like Darwinism to me. All hail sidechains the new Bitcoin 😄

Hey Jeff, is there anything happening Friday and/or Monday this year in Riga? Monday's usually BTCPay server day but I haven't seen anything advertised yet. At Heathrow, coming in hot.

Stupid question, where is it? I don't see a location

It's completely absurd. How did it get to this point? It's baffling to me that the UK has become this husk of liberty and expression.

Cheers, coming for a few days extra and planned to visit Jurmala, now will get off a stop early as you suggest. Might do the boat trip too, sounds great. Can't wait 🪇

Bullrun incoming!

I fully misunderstood. Why do you say that war is a permanent part of their culture? Perhaps I'm being naive but I'm hopeful a regime change in Palestine, and eventually Israel, will change the dynamics. Netanyahu's government did fund Hamas (https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-hamas-now-its-blown-up-in-our-faces/), and Hamas were voted in by the previous generation of Palestinians (median age of 20 in Palestine means the current population weren't of voting age when Hamas came into power in 2007). These facts alone suggest future times under different leaders will be very different. There will be a lot of anger towards Israel, which perhaps will create more extremists in Palestine, so this could domino into effect what you stated about perma-war.

Maybe, Netanyahu et al are nutters... But it'll be harder and Israel risks alienating itself if all these other countries recognise Palestine as a state.

It looks promising. Strange final paragraph: Despite decades of global support for a two-state solution, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres admitted this week that the prospect is 'farther than ever before'."

Building a side project to help tune mountain bike suspension and it's an obvious choice to use Giftwrapped DMs to communicate to the backend. Saves configuring DNS or firewall. Incredibly secure. So many more features available such as payments and data sharing. Nostr rocks.

Might bring in another group of people who then happen to experience the other good things

Also curious so posting for reference!

Assume less, determine more

That's pretty awesome

Love and nourishment. Hopefully see you at BHB
