100% sure we should make the trade off clear, or they could use delegated keys or connect a web2 Auth with the account, but we cant save everyone, some people will have to learn the hard way


Lol nostr isn't idiot proof


That's why I am so bullish on nostr marketplaces/classifieds, if people can start to sell their time, labour, skill and products on nostr for LN or even LN based stablecoins, boy then we're cooking with gas


regular reminder that the way bitcoin wins is by bitcoiners holding cashflow positive businesses


That look gooooooood!


In future, Instead of charging a set fee for liquidity flowing through your node, you could set different prices based on your channel capacity to encourage better use of funds in your channel with the help of rate cards

https://thebitcoinmanual.com/articles/ln-fee-rate-cards/


To many people think they're smarter than the market, so let them try lol


Strange how that worked, I mean who cares if they are easily reproduced its unique according to some 3rd party protocol and it took up block space, why doesn't everyone understand the value of whats being created, i paid a lot of on-chain fees for this right 🤣🤣


nostr:npub1f3c4u5cztu5chmxmuw46fl85r25r0w77u9nkkw2x7qmmg6wxrqyq3z3nu7 is the social media manager, shes always the point of contact


The easiest way to dox your stack, buy #Bitcoin on #PayPal and have your fiat purchase records recorded and tie it directly to your ledger wallet addresses while using/trusting a third-party node

What could go wrong? It's so convenient!

#Ledger is really going HAM at being KYC tech, I'm bummed I used and shilled these wallets, the company just keeps taking L's. If you have a Ledger, learn to use it without Ledger Live and maybe acquire a different signing device when you can

Are you looking for a way to obfuscate your seed phrase into something less obvious than 24 words? With BIP39 colours you can make it even harder for others to decode your wallet

Yes I am not saying it's completely foolproof, we will always find ways to game things but we can add additional layers, like age of account, authority, network of followers all as metrics and even user feedback on community notes that can encourage or discourage certain behaviour

There's no central authority here to review content, so it will always be up the community to do it, they would do it in the comments anyway, this is just another way/UX of promoting that behaviour


Lol be careful what you wish for, there is no such thing as free boobies, you pay for it one way or another


Zaps, its got what plants crave, its got electrolytes


I also think criminals are less likely to be criminals if it's not a profitable use of their time.  Prevention is better than cure


For sure, a violation of a contract or attack on your property rights requires a swift resolution. Sometimes just getting rid of that person from your community is also enough of a net positive, be that them running off or goign to jail

Also, where do you draw the line?

- If you were scammed out of $100 does it justify physical harm or is there a certain amount that is justifiable

- Can I go take back someone's property who scammed my grandparents before I was born?


Nope won't change it, only thing it changes is who now profits from the attention, someone has to pay the relays and the clients so I guess its not a total fail, rather plebs benefiting running the backbone of the system than those VCs


I don't see how policing other peoples thought and what they do with their time is helpful though, I mean if you don't like meme culture thats cool, your decision

You can easily choose not to engage in things that you don't agree with especially something as benign as memes, and live a very happy life


So memes are bad now?


Everyone, take a moment & look at this:

Amethyst now has a proper Live section, a Reddit-like communities, and a Public Chat section.

What a great milestone for Nostr! Kieran and Vitor are truly at the frontier of development, pushing boundaries at an unimaginable pace.

What a legends! I have never been more bullish on Nostr.

I switched to CLN from LND a while back and never looking back


Second this!


Lol no its Paxful, I'm stacking some LN Sats


South African Rand lol, its gotten obliterated of late, losing 25% of its value in the last year


How dare they not allow me to #zapvertise?!

For shame! nostr:note16c9dpe4xtmntdlkxfkcczafdkxlltnwxt3a2a9c7ey6zzqt5vx2srhmyhs


Lol damn you're fast, I just posted that today 😉


You can use any one of the following exchanges
https://thebitcoinmanual.com/buying-btc/liquid/

I don't have a local exchange that supports it so I am using Sideshift and buying stablecoins locally swapping stablecoins for it


L-BTC is Bitcoin pegged into the Liquid Side Chain, either by individuals who ran Liquid Nodes or by federation members, L-BTC can only be created through this peg-in system and is destroyed through a peg out system that only federation members can do

Liquid is a fork of Bitcoin but doesn't use proof of work, instead a federation of block signers, so its by no means decentralised. I just use it temporarily so that I can stack sats cheap and then I swap out to the base chain when fees are reasonable

https://thebitcoinmanual.com/blockchain/liquid-chain/


Hopefully clients add it as an option too, would make it a lot easier for more people to find out about it


Thank you :). 4th black out of the day just hit, so I'm off to bed so I can try and get some work done tomorrow

Lekker slaap/Busuku benzolo


When Alby bee sting badge? 🐝


It can mean shocked, like oef, kinda expression or it can mean ice, it's a common way to mispronounce "ys" which is ice in Afrikaans, hence my response below


Have you seen this? nostr classifieds are now a thing
https://nostr.bitejo.com/


Lol met eish ya


Yes, in South Africa we have become used to daily power cuts of between 2 hours to 12 hours per day depending on how much is available for the entire country to use.

So they periodically switch off different parts of the country so everyone can have a ration lol and get their affairs in order for the day


How I am going to plan my day around the 4 sessions of black outs today, lol its become quite the clown world this side


My Alby is working just fine, :)


Cool I tested now it looks like profile zaps will be shown on tab on snort and post zaps are under posts they are not combined for some reason


Your zap metrics will show up on your profile under the zap section if you have a wallet that is NIP-57 compatible, it will be a tab next to your followers.

Not all wallets have added support for zaps the NIP was only merged this week


You won't see the DM and zap symbol on your own profile because you'll never need to zap or DM yourself


I am keen to see when journalists start to adopt it for hosting content they would not have gotten out on something like a twitter or substack! I mean if you're running your own ghost instance and nostr to syndicate you have a pretty strong set up to speak to truth


Turn the world into zap addicts, to many Twitter bitcoiners are lagging

https://media.tenor.com/ESTkzQQMcTEAAAAd/star-wars.gif


People need to get used to paying directly for stuff, the whole its free but I sell my eye balls and my brain cells model is a race to the bottom


So far damus, astral,  snort and nostrgram have zaps enabled from posts but none do tallies yet apart from the latest damus


Lol I dated a pole once and I can confirm this with 6 confirmations


Did someone say poles?
https://media.tenor.com/GNY4BZMXpLUAAAAC/stripper-chicken.gif


All day long and twice on the weekend, I run my node even though we have 2-6 hour power cuts! UPS back up ready to go


Cross-posting from Twitter is bleh!


Looks like Twitter has been restored, clearly they want to control the narrative around rescue efforts in the country

https://www.cnbc.com/2023/02/09/twitter-restored-in-turkey-after-meeting-with-government-officials.html


So relays could have like affiliates or ambassadors? Could work perhaps a % of the fees goes to these superusers attracting users to your relay, tie an affiliate link to their pubkey/set up a unique landing page on the relay site and you got a funnel for converting people


Lol where's the proof someone was this dumb or its not miners wash trading their funds


If you can mine on a gameboy when nostr on gameboy?


Get those relays up boys!


Paid relays are here and they're cheap as chips! #[1]


Lol lifting heavy gives you fuck you muscles


Lol Twitter killer, gives of major ETH narrative vibes, that headline doesn't sit well with me


Well even opening up the discussion I think is what this place is all about and who knows where it might find a niche or edge use case. I mean we already see here in South Africa people moving LN transactions on feature phones tied to their cellphone number, I could see something like nostr /sms/USSD/ln creating a P2P market and people could buy and sell bitcoin or goods using a range of devices to communicate with one another


Lol Open source will provide and the market will decide


All in a days work for the lightning liquidity farmers
https://media.tenor.com/j199KFNF_AMAAAAC/it-aint.gif


Lol Looks like Preston Purple pilled you right on his pod, he sure is doing fine work


I would like a fiver/people per hour client so people could meet up and work on projects together


Lol Linktree's are just a cover for shilling your onlyfans


Agreed, these guys will do anything to try and horse shoe their crappy project no one uses into what people want to use, the sooner stacks runs out of funding the better


Looks like we'll be hearing from you on more podcasts :P


Lol the debt ceiling will increase until morale improves


Looks like the growth stocks, and stay-at-home stock companies are cutting like crazy, according to this tracker its already at 55 970 layoffs and counting, I wonder how this ripples into the rental market, auto loan and mortgage market thats a lot of people who cant pay bills
[Layoffs.fyi](https://layoffs.fyi/)


I am actually surprised the deflation isn't hitting faster, I mean you pushed equities down (not that there isn't room for more) job markets are a mess with some people not willing to come back yet, and others firing in bloated sectors like tech and finance, then that puts pressure on real estate, credit card and auto if people cant service that, so defaults start creating more deflation or so I was told it would unravel

While the US is the market to watch, I am also looking at those developing markets like Egypt and Turkey who are desperately trying to keep their currencies above water as capital flows to the dollar for that "Risk free" return

I'm still watching it all wondering where this is all going?


and I don't think the fed is going to be lowering rates anytime soon many of these massive companies grew on cheap money and have so many bloated departments where people get away with a work day consisting of 3 emails so pretty sure that theres more to come


I am using the cashu wallet and mint, but it still fails, is there a port I should set? I set it to 0


Lol but my DCA bro I'm getting less sats, me no likey


Lol or that could be just the smell of paper hands frying as we pick up their sats


Long may it last, relays all over the world #[1]


Very nice, low lets see paul Allens boobs
![untitled.gif](https://media.tenor.com/iE5ZrKweMx8AAAAC/american-psycho.gif)


Could you create a local black list and import it into clients :P


Wait you can now block people on nostr? Is this client specific or would it go across any client?


Correct, you can see my profile I am NIP verified using the ably wallet so anyone can see on my public profile that I'm associated with this domain, so for alby its more of a branding exercise, while for me, its just to indicate that I am associated with a domain


Lol thats why we hang out on Nostr the sats are literally flying all over the place


Well done! And totally agree, i really felt like I was going nowhere working my ass off and seeing my savings going up in nominal terms but everything I wanted going up faster, I see it still in my normie friends who remain nihilistic about it all, while the ones that are now into bitcoin are far more hopeful for the future


~~crossing out~~

|Product|Amount|Price|
|-|-|-|
|Pleb Shirts|5 units|1000 Sats|


Lol if they won't give us what we want we will make it ourselves, this is the way


Astral maxi lol


I have been checking twitter, not sure if its nostr or the time of the year but it has been really quiet


Lol every wrapper is an assumption of trust, I prefer to verify my bitcoin


I did this a while back, and it did nothing for them years later they still haven't caught on or added to their stack, I don't even bother anymore. I blog online for those interested they find it, but I've accepted alot of people are NGMI especially ones close to you
