## Resource

UTXO The Webmaster joins to discuss his new android nostr client Wisp, spark wallet integration, encrypted nsec seed backups, and his controversial "Send Money" normie mode that denominates zaps in dollars. We get into follower count philosophy, what actually counts as a user on an open protocol, and why half of bitcoin twitter still hates nostr. Then we go deep on AI: his local rig running Qwen 3.6, on device spam filtering with nspam, whether Claude is subsidizing us into oblivion, and what happens to big tech jobs when a unicorn only needs three employees.
