Please welcome our first Texan, @benthecarman, to Spiral. After one year probably doing JPEG work at Taproot Wizards, Ben will tackle LDK Server and a new SDK that simplifies how we onboard self-custodial bitcoin users, two things that his Mutiny wallet work lend themselves to.

the greatest psyop in america may be the normalization of male circumcision
60% of newborn boys in the us are circumcised
it is a difficult topic because no parent wants to admit they made the wrong decision but that number should be zero

@jack showed me nostr recently. Reminds me of a writeup I did back in 2021 on decentralized social media:
https://rossulbricht.medium.com/decentralize-social-media-cc47dcfd4f99
I'll be mirroring my X account here and hopefully finding some good conversations.

Shoutout to @fiatjaf for his amazing window.nostr drop-in, which adds NIP-46 support to apps / sites that rely on window.nostr (NIP-07).
https://github.com/fiatjaf/window.nostr.js
Am using it on my Nostrly website - it looks great and works flawlessly.
Seriously great work 👏

I put all this work into asynchronous batch handling of NIP-07 requests, and nostr clients just `await window.nostr.doSomething()` one request at a time.
It's actually pretty crazy that clients behave like this. This old and busted synchronous request paradigm needs to change, especially for:
* Primal, which requires signing of multiple events with each page refresh, all of them blocking.
* Nostrudel, which has a "decrypt all" button, but then decrypts events one at a time.
Does nos2x support asynchronous handling of requests? I didn't notice anything blocking, so I want to say yes (assuming you have permissions set).
If a client makes requests to a signing device, and those requests have a) permissions and b) no dependencies, then they shouldn't block other requests. Let the requests flow freely!

Just upgraded bifrost to perform single-round batch signing of messages, similar to how bitescrow worked with building covenants.
Batching signatures allows for very fast and robust signing of PSBTs and multi-transaction packages, which will hopefully unlock many kinds of bitcoin protocols over frost and nostr.
The frost2x wallet is almost complete:
```
window.bitcoin = {
getAccount() // done,
getBalance() // done,
getUtxos(amount) // done,
signPsbt(psbt, manifest) // in progress
}
```
Very exciting times ahead!

It learns your refactoring changes in real-time and auto-completes like a beast.

What are the top priorities for improving Bitcoin today?
My naive list is:
* Increased adoption of lightning (more wallets).
* More compelling lightning-enabled services.
* More nodes, lottery miners, and heater miners in homes.
* Migration of important financial products onto bitcoin as a standard, for greater bitcoin adoption and increased transaction fee revenue.
* Better developer education, on-boarding and tooling (to build more interesting startups).
What am I missing?

So we're regularly noticing how unacceptably large Foundry has gotten and it would be good if Bitcoiners in general understand why we are where we are.
First, let's talk about what it is pools actually do, starting from the theoretical going all the way the practical.
In theory they make no difference to anything - they simply reduce variance.
Instead of earning $.X per year, you earn $.X/365 per day.
This is far more consistent and makes day to day operations easier and it's clear why someone would want to do this - assuming they're a smaller miner who is not capable of finding block frequently enough without pooling and splitting rewards with others.
This might be desirable to the point where you'd even pay a split to the coordinator (pool) because it's that valuable of a service.

Can someone sell me on why running an ecash mint is better than a vanilla custodial lightning service?
- Each ecash transaction must go through the mint to change hands, so the server can see everything and strongly correlate your payments anyway.
- You have to backup and store your coins or they are forever lost. The mint can backup your state, but that further strengthens the above.
- You have to use an ecash wallet instead of just a vanilla lightning wallet. A custodial wallet can have zero state, while an ecash wallet has to manage a lot of state. An ecash mint also has to bridge lightning payments if other users want to pay in lightning.
The plus side I guess is that the mint doesn't have to worry about strict accounting, while a custodial lightning server does. And there

As a content creator, one of my biggest fears with investing time in Nostr is "reach", but after only a few days of posting since my podcast launched, the audience data is so insightful
To summarise: Nostr has more 4x unique views than the legacy platforms combined...
HOLY SHIT
So not only do I know I cannot be switched off (eg recent US TikTok users), I can see a future in which people actually find content valuable, and therefore invest their time in consuming it
Nostr is the play
Nostr is the sound capital allocation
Nostr is cornerstone of all future media
Why wouldn't you build with steel instead of wood? Why wouldn't you invest in something you know has superior property rights? Why wouldn't you continue to investigate the nascent technology?
All steam

Had the pleasure of being a "whale" this year at BTC24.
The wine and dine experience was nice, and there was a bunch of celebrities plus high net worth folks walking around.
We had a live feed of the main stage, so you could watch speakers from the comfort of the deep.
The room was packed when RFK was speaking on the main stage, with clapping and cheering at certain points in his speech.
When RFK made the point that Bitcoin is about more than just "number go up", the room was dead silent.
Just thought that was interesting.

I appreciate Elon reversing the globo-homo trend to censor everything on twitter.
But the content feeds are no longer the same. I don't feel in control of my own feed.
I think AI is dead-end for curating content. I *want* a dumb algorithm that I can wrap my head around. I don't want a black-box neural network that I can only make polite suggestions to.
Humans like game loops, you don't have to hide them. Just give us the controls and let us run the loops the way that we want.
Game companies know this. They give users what they want. Yet social media companies are taking these controls away?
Maybe because on social media, you are a product, not a user.
Nostr is in a great place where the users have control over their own loops. And

I agree with this on cash deposits but I don't understand how you would run a real credit system with anonymous transactions and accounts.
How would you measure credit risk? How are charge-backs supposed to work?
There are reasons that credit card holders would prefer transparency and buyer protection over privacy.

Regular reminder that ecash is not going to fix all of our problems. Part of the reason I'm working on Cashu is because I think every custodian in this world should be an Ecash mint. And every credit card on this planet should be replaced by an ecash wallet. That's already enough to fix.

In a few days, I'll be making the case that the nostr relay network is a distributed consensus system for the delivery and receipt of cryptographic messages.
I believe this consensus system may be far more valuable than the social-media use case.
It solves a few important problems in cryptography protocols, and is far more efficient than publishing data to the blockchain.

I may have found a use case for the abandoned "subject" field that nostr notes had with NIP-13.
It would be great if there was a standard "content id" with every note, so that you could reference notes by their content, rather than an absolute id.
The content id would be a sha256 hash of the content field and pubkey.
What this would enable is replaceable tags for notes. Imagine you could in-place update the tags on a note, similar to a replaceable event.
This would open up so many possibilities:
- Easily delete a note by adding a delete tag.
- Easily update a note by adding a ref tag to the new note.
- Update a note's metadata based on the comments. This may be good for special protocols (like zap giveaways).

My primal experience on mobile has not been great.
The app is failing to load new posts or let me sign in. It seems like the app is hanging on connecting to a server somewhere, this is before connecting to a relay.
I gave up on the app and tried using a PWA. Primal web doesn't seem to render properly, and the profile button is unclickable so I can't login.
Also I really don't like how it leaks a bunch of metadeta about my DMs in cleartext. That is really not great.
The sonar loading animation looks really cool though.

I reread my thoughts almost one year ago and still very much feel the same. There's a great thing here that we can all lean in on. Broadcasting and the other stuff.
Though I will say my thoughts on DIDs remain the same too. If BlueSky actually opens up more, and TBD's switch to a DHT based DID instead of ION actually helps adoption more, there's potential worth exploring there as well. I still think it's a more sound architecture but it desperately needed builders and applications.
I think much of the complaints we may have there stem from the intentional closeness in the beginning and the Bitcoin haters/woke community, but quite honestly, their open moderation and feed Algo based system would actually help in our favor if utilized properly. On the technical side, it definitely is more complex, but that's where things could level up
