bluegrass and cypherpunk share a thread; I tell the story, write the code, and play the music to y'all at events around the world, with my band @immutablestring

Bluegrass wants to be free. We waste our energy resisting that desire by colluding with labels and their underwriters, who make a deal with the devil that is "intellectual property", handing our music over to the state.

Make bluegrass, not IP.

@songadaymann @ArtOnBlockchain @ethereum Yeah, awesome project man. I wish I'd made it work.

It seems we've finally got a critical mass of extreme-long-term thinking. I'd love your help figuring how setlists go onchain.

...like, set a goal to have every GD setlist onchain by a certain block (eg, 'dead by 30m')

@songadaymann Aaaagggghhhhh dang did I miss it? Looks like it just closed?

[Justin Holmes 🎻🎹 🪕🤠 cryptograss.eth @llamasinthecode]

@songadaymann Sure - what do I put in the "mint" and "count" fields?

[Justin Holmes 🎻🎹 🪕🤠 cryptograss.eth @llamasinthecode]

@songadaymann hard refresh, same result. What network is it supposed to be trying to use? Here's the console output immediately after I click mint - maybe an API key limit or something w/ opensea?

[Justin Holmes 🎻🎹 🪕🤠 cryptograss.eth @llamasinthecode]

@songadaymann Nope, just vanilla metamask.

[Justin Holmes 🎻🎹 🪕🤠 cryptograss.eth @llamasinthecode]

@songadaymann Tried Firefox 145.0.2 and Brave 1.82.166

[Justin Holmes 🎻🎹 🪕🤠 cryptograss.eth @llamasinthecode]

@songadaymann Some other errors - no idea if they're related:

[Justin Holmes 🎻🎹 🪕🤠 cryptograss.eth @llamasinthecode]

@songadaymann Same thing - here's what the console shows:

@WSDOT_East Leplowski? That's your name, dude.

You do understand what I do for a living? I literally make bluegrass, and I recently restrung my mandolin.

@R1chardMaur1ce You do understand what I do for a living? I literally make decentralized central banks and rebuilt Wallstreet on a blockchain

@songadaymann Do I have to do something special for my ENS name to be listed when I bid?

@DrNickA Your point is sound, but I don't think this is a good example. All three of your examples are attributable to subsidies; I don't think HFCS is competitive in a free market.

@songadaymann I'm guessing you've already seen this, but if not, it's an amazing take-down of the IP model of music by John Perry Barlow, on a stage with a bunch of record execs:

@WuBlockchain Surely there's more context here that we're missing. The odds of quantum computing being able to pose any kind of threat to ECC by 2028 are very low. I'm not convinced QC will break ECC by 2128, let alone in three years.

Today is @keonne and my wedding anniversary.

If @realDonaldTrump does not truly end “the war on crypto” and grant him a pardon, it will be the last anniversary we spend together for years.

All for the crime of writing non-custodial, open source, privacy software.

@owocki What's the best place to read or hear your critique?

[Justin Holmes 🎻🎹 🪕🤠 cryptograss.eth @llamasinthecode]

Reading up on the Boston massacre. If clashes with ICE escalate to such a thing, it will be nice for everyone to be educated on it before half-cocked opinions start being thrown around.

@CupOJoseph Agh, that's my problem; I've been using it as a big truck.
