 I like Amethyst. Was one of the first clients I tried and I've stuck with it.  

 If Alice has tokens issued from Minibits and sends them to Bob who uses enuts, can he redeem the tokens from Alice? He would be trying to cash in tokens that enuts did not issue. 

 Unfollow everybody and tell me the experience doesn't go to shite.  

 I'm still figuring it out myself but from what I understood the differences were that the Zeus Lightning address has a time limitation if the user is offline for more than 24-hours then the payment is returned to the sender. Where as the Minibits Lightning address doesn't. Also, the Minibits wallet can handle ecash along with sats seamlessly, which might be a plus if the user is into ecash. What I'm not so sure about is what happens if the mint operator's server goes down; the ecash is stored on the user's device and any user can run a mint themselves to connect with their client so I think it's easy enough to recover in the event a mint operator gets taken down. I went through the recovery process for good measure by funding the mint, uninstalling/reinstalling the app, and I am in fact in control of my keys/sats so I don't think it's custodial. I suppose a better test would be to restore in a different app altogether. 

 Check out this guide, it's incredibly helpful. relay.tools makes it easy to spin up and customize a relay. You have to install the Kiwi browser and then add the Nosx2 extension to it to sign into relay.tools with your Nostr profile. But once you do that, it's a12k sats/mo invoice and you're on the downhill run.

 Ah, thanks, that was my confusion; I thought the ecash was the token being stored on the device. Didn't realize ecash was an IOU held by the mint operator. The way it's presented on the website is: "Ecash is a digital barer token that is stored on a user's device, very similar to physical cash."

https://docs.cashu.space/# 

 iiuc, Alice & Bob can send the bearer tokens amongst eachother intra mint with no Lightning tx but to send inter mint; the token has to be redeemed by the Alice's mint, sats sent via Lightning tx to Bob's mint, and there new bearer tokens are issued to Bob.

 According to Primal, you have 18 🤔  

 For context, I have 585 relays configured.

 What happened after 20, what was the limiting factor? 

 What's the difference between general relays and others? 

 Incredibly helpful, thank you 👊 

 I started using Nostr about a year and a half ago. NGL I struggled with it, I wanted it to be that Twitter replacement I was searching for but there were several roadblocks: 

• getting content to load
• self-custodial Lightning is a pita
• little to no interaction
• getting a mix of content beyond just Bitcoin

Therefore, I found myself stuck choosing between battling an algorithm or a miserable UX for social media. But that changed when I saw this dude's posts about making a few simple adjustments and that was exactly the unlock I was looking for. 

In the last 24-hours I went from totally frustrated with Nostr to operating my own public relay, running a local private relay on mobile, & getting content to load quickly on my 3 favorite clients - first bullet point ✅.

I continued following his suggestions and funded Zeus to manage some inbound/outbound channels which is made easy with their new LSP. With that setup, I installed Minibits to create a mint and get a Lightning address. I topped off the mint from Zeus, then I configured the NWC secrets for my 3 clients and removed the friction to zaps in a self-custodial way - second bullet point ✅.

But then I figured out being an introverted lurker on Nostr doesn't bode well here. I started following more accounts, boosting, posting, liking, commenting... The more I use it, the better it gets - third bullet point ✅.

Finally, YakiHonne was the key to curating the content I was seeing. There are options to choose a number of topics beyond just Bitcoin-related stories and I recommend checking it out - fourth bullet point ✅.

All in all, Twitter is a dumpster fire as you probably know since you're here reading this and if you have hit some friction switching to Nostr hopefully some of this info helps.

 PIN entry with number keypad for opening wallets instead of the password dialog box would be a nice option. Bonus if the number keypad could be scrambled.

 Our 50th episode! @rev.hodl crushed it on this episode & brought the 🔥 about his creative contraptions, the benefits of permaculture, & how to build a self-sufficient Bitcoin-powered homestead. Check it out.

 Samourai Wallet's attorney endorsed it:

 Thanks QnA 👊 https://image.nostr.build/28813752632e509914b6be8d69755dfbb33c5bda1cc4ee1c5521ec68fb78a24a.jpg 

 IMO Samourai doesn't even fit the definition of money transmitter though. Which in the Tornado Cash case that definition fits because they accepted the users ETH when users made deposits to the pools. As stated in that document, a money transmitter is either "a person engaged in the acceptance of currency, funds, or other value that substitutes for currency from one person AND the transmission of currency, funds, or other value that substitutes for currency to another person or location by any means" or "any other person engaged in the transfer of funds."

In Samourai's Whirlpool architecture, they never accept bitcoin from the users nor do they transfer it. Users transfer bitcoin to themselves by providing a UTXO to a collaborative transaction and receive their bitcoin back in a new UTXO. The user's wallet tx history is a chain of self-transfers that are blinded to the coordinator. It's difficult to even make a fiat analogy because there is literally no depositing, accepting, or disbursing of bitcoin taking place between any two entities. Every Whirlpool tx is just 5 people making identical self-transfers together. 

 Not long ago it was the Tornado Cash case but that was on Ethereum and largely brushed off by many Bitcoiners. Then it was the Bitcoin Fog case but that was custodial and again largely brushed off by many Bitcoiners. 

To some, the trajectory has been clear for several years. Often times those warning of real and present dangers are met with skepticism and dismissed as FUDsters.

Yesterday it was Samourai Wallet, a non-custodial Bitcoin wallet with the ability to coordinate CoinJoins. If you brushed off Tornado Cash & Bitcoin Fog, don't make the same mistake this time.

The language used by the FBI is so broad and generalized in their PSA and their recent actions have been so over-reaching that it should now be crystal clear to any Bitcoiner that any Bitcoin wallet project not implementing KYC measures runs the risk of having the developers arrested for operating an unlicensed Money Services Business. Node projects and miners are not far behind.

The entire pretext to this narrative is false because Bitcoin is software, software is code, code is speech, and freedom of speech is a God-given right. Ask yourself, where do you draw the line? What rights are you willing to defend? And if push came to shove, how far are you willing to go to defend those rights? 

"Give me liberty or give me death" are not hollow words because a life without liberty is not a life worth living. Many have already made the ultimate sacrifices and many more will follow in their foot steps. Every dialogue consists of a call and a response and right now the FBI is having a one-sided conversation. Make a stand and respond loudly and clearly that the erosion ends now.

 > "proper datacarrier respecting templates"

Seems like if anything, "proper" would be Bitcoin Core's dafault datacarrier size - 80 bytes. Knots is a fork of Bitcoin Core with a non-standard datacareier size of 42 bytes. Ocean is 100% censoring Samourai Wallet, Sapprow Wallet, & Bitcoin Keeper tx0's. And BIP47 PaynNym notification txs.

Also, Whirlpool CJ's don't use an OP_RETURN so "learn the fucking technicalities".
