It’s hard to truly decentralize anything other than money.

March 13 1836 was a grim day during the Texas revolution. Sam Houston and his army learned of the fall of the Alamo and decide to retreat east. Rock bottom morale…
But in 2026 Parker Lewis, backed by the glory of of the Lone Star flag, talks about Zaprite and the P2P app we are building to facilitate payments worldwide.

All Zaprite API Docs have received a update to help you navigate accepting bitcoin payments - AI assisted or old fashioned hand coding. It takes between an hour and a day to get setup end-to-end accepting bitcoin payments to the wallet of your chosing. https://api.zaprite.com

Point your favorite AI model at https://api.zaprite.com/llms.txt if you're looking to integrate bitcoin payments into your app. Less searching and fiddling. Stack more sats.

Sitting outside on a beautiful Feb 25th day in Austin, Tx and it hit me…I remembered the Alamo.
It’s actually day two of the siege at this point. Alamo defenders haven’t yet got word out on just how bad their situation is. But Crockett, Travis, and a sick Bowie are holding down the fort.
Goliad isn’t much better. Fannin has disobeyed direct orders to retreat and regroup and dug in for defense. Urrea is leading a massive force up the coast to meet them.

Disagree. It’s the idea guy golden age. The frauds are in shambles, but those guys already outed themselves having a new job every 8 months.

It’s been this way for a couple of months. X is completely useless. One of the best products ever built. Before it was censorship of right wing voices that threatened it. Musk really did save it. But now the censorship is way worse - anything that is not about Minneapolis is buried. The network effect has been gutted. The worst product team fuckup I’ve seen in a long time.

In December of 1835, Texans actually take control of Texas. Skirmishes from October and November turn into wins with full blow sieges like the one in San Antonio that breaks December 6th. But the Texans are beating frontier troops while Santa Anna raises an obscenely large army in Mexico City to deal with the rebellion.

Charging/paying for events, meetups etc… with bitcoin is pretty bad. So we took our Zaprite checkout and applied it to a simple and powerful new ticketing platform native to Zaprite.

If you are planning a paid gathering of any kind, give it a try!

I’m shocked more people in TradFi don’t kill themselves once they realize their career is a farce and they’ve been working for some guy in Jackson Hole and they have no deterministic abilities in their professional lives.

After extreme patience, on April 21, 1836, Sam Houston strikes at Santa Anna. The Battle of San Jacinto was quick and decisive. In under 20 minutes the Texian army killed 600 Mexicans and captured another 700. Texians death were under 10. Santa Anna cowered after the defeat, disguising himself as a private before being noticed in the makeshift POW camp. He negotiated for his life, and against the wishes of many, Houston arranged for his return to Mexico. The war was effectively over and the Republic of Texas was founded.

What’s the Gulf of Mexico?

2025-04-03 15:27:12 UTC

On April 3rd, 1836, the most consequential naval battle between the Texians and Mexicans occurred in the Gulf of America. Texians had to date been ineffectual in stopping Mexican supply lines, and it was critical to stop them as Houston drew Santa Anna further east. The Texas ship “The Invincible” - was anything but - pummeled the Mexican “Montezuma” after The Invincible maneuvered to run the Montezuma ashore before unleashing hell on the ship. Later the same day, the Invincible intercepted and American ship supplying Mexicans with weapons. These weapons were critical once rerouted to Houston’s army.

On March 21st 1836 James Fannin, having disobeyed orders to retreat and join with Dam Houston’s main army, was captured by General Urrea and being marched towards Goliad in the Texas coastal plains. Santa Anna had already ordered that all prisoners - nearly 400 men - be executed and for Urrea to urgently join his main army pursuing Houston. Urrea wanted the prisoners spared, and wrote pleading for their mercy. He wasn’t just merciful, in many ways he was a superior military general than Santa Anna. Regardless, the Mexicans are arguing over a mass murder, and there are about to be hundreds of very unlucky Texians. Word travels slow though, so there’s time for Houston to continue to gather forces.

Posting Texas facts in Feb/March into the bitcoin void on Nostr loses me dozens of followers each year. The opposite of engagement farming…just for the love of the game.

This is an absolute incredible promise kept from President Trump. He’s saved Ross Ulbricht’s life. Ross was deserving of mercy.

I seriously suggest people stop Doordashing and Uber eating if you live in a reasonably safe area. Inviting the (in many cases) barely not homeless to case your neighborhood and house is a bad trade off.

Non-custodial lightning made stupid simple (big market need). Beta being opened up soon. Just really impressed with how they walked the line of abstraction and sovereignty.
