If only I could ever get out from under my burrito loans
A drawback of the gold standard days was that it made the feds feel they needed to monopolize gold. It was illegal to own gold in the US between the 40s and 70s.
A bad law indeed.
They had already broken the Gold standard by that point, they just didn't admit to it. Right after confiscating Gold they revalued the dollar against it, going from $20.67 an Oz to $35 an Oz. It was the first visible crack, with WW2 increasing our Gold supply substantially the collapse of the Gold standard was postponed but we stopped being on the Gold standard the moment the first federal reserve notes started being printed.
right ^^
It got left behind in 1933
I would argue 1913... (Federal Reserve Act)
No sound either primal or amethyst
Working for me on Primal.
RIP mobile users ๐ This video is under 3 minutes but weighs in at 350 MB. A 4K video with PCM audio in a mov container. If vlogs are going to work on Nostr video compression really needs to be implemented on clients. The wrong encoding formats means a large chunk of users wont be able to see or hear it, and it will kill peoples mobile data plans quickly.
The most compatible seem to be h264 video with AAC audio. This will work on desktops, Android, and iOS.

tons of gold, less than half of what it once had.

If you encoded your videos with h264 video and AAC audio in an MP4 container they will work for everyone.
It would also help people on mobile connections, this 2:38 video is 350MB. Some of the full length movies I post are less than 600MB.
Sooooooo is there a way I can upload long videos? ๐ 1080 is fine 4k not needed
For most stuff even 1080 is overkill. It's being watched predominately on 6" screens.
720p is fine
๐ฏ๐ฏ
Try 720 for mobile entertainment. Nobody needs 1080 on a 10x5 display.
yes
Limit the bitrate to 600-1,000 kbit/sec
It's not about the resolution... It's about the bitrate if you want smaller size and quicker loading over slow networks.
Wowwww Im learning
So would all this information allow one to do a long format video on nostr or how long?? Best specs?
No audio here on Amethyst.
Same on Yakihonne
For those with no audio, here's the YouTube version
No audio on Amethyst. But once downloaded, it just works with a video player.
we tested zaps on this noteโฆ we made six attempts toโกzap this note, at nomad@stacker.news, over a period of about 1 hour. in each case, we found that your lightning address server did not respond correctly. (the failure point was when we did a get request to your specified callback url: https://stacker.news/api/lnurlp/nomad/pay ). your server did not produce an invoice, thus the zap failed. the error we got was "could not generate invoice to customer's attached wallet". if you wanted to fix this... you could try getting a free rizful lightning address --
... if u get it set up, pls reply here so we can do this โกzap test again.

No lies detected although I wasn't aware that the French got their gold back.
Well done! ๐ค๐ฅ
I believe the French accepted the equivalent in fiat money
Oof!
Finally, an answer to the age old question: WTF happened in 1971?

You can just share the note as a link. Anyone can click & open in a browser.

The question is, why is FDRโs removal from the gold standard overshadowed by Nixonโs act?
