Today would have been my mom’s 67th birthday. She passed away when I was in high school.

Ever since I met my wife, who believes deeply in celebration, we have spent my mom’s birthdays eating her favorite meals in celebration of her life and legacy. I have my wife to thank for inspiring this tradition.

Tonight, we went to my mom’s favorite French restaurant in NYC, and enjoyed shrimp cocktail, scallops, steak, great drinks, and a delectable dessert in her honor.

This has become one of my family’s dearest traditions. We celebrate and honor the person who knew and loved me the most; the one still watching and loving us now, from not-too-far-away 🤍 https://image.nostr.build/45a4786a203634d0040206a9187ad8fe1f0d59668a5949fc311cd67a97e91526.jpg

“The intellect is a wonderful servant, just so long as it knows its place. But once it starts saying to nature, ‘Look, you submit. I know how you ought to be run, and I’m going to take charge.’ That is the moment of hubris.”

I messed up. LETS TRY AGAIN

I've got 100k Sats.
Let's test this new feature.

$boost

https://image.nostr.build/e9b345251f69fe807c14808f3aba87868e56f1b9584b5fb02f2f77ce680bac69.jpg


It’s no fair


Okay so this is an exciting concept.

Think about how it’s going to be implemented over the coming years.

It will all happen under the hood, and this V4V shift will be as normal to the “nostr native” generation as using hotkeys like “command-S” is to us today.

🤯 nostr:note1m99khmn94j5rnwftzcjn2lvzsz3nw0payvptnnykx37uc3mh9uhst547g3


nostr:npub1arcweuxy0zkdcg08sljh058qp02ytrgnpzh4csa3ar42szyfgrpsw6ggtw allows creators to use their reach and numbers to reward their followers in a value for value economic model.

For this exmaple, let's use me. 👀

Let's say that I wanted to reward the people that followed me and also shared a note of mine. I would add the $boost tag to my note. Prism picks it up, and tracks who shared the note. Now let's say that my original note was Zapped 100,000 sats. I could then in turn Zap the Prism created note all 100,000 sats, to reward users for boosting my note. That's wild.

This opens up a completely new advertising model for Zaps. The implications and use cases here are going to get really interesting.

Now back to my example. Let's say a new company with very few followers asks me talk about a product or announcement of theirs, because I have a larger reach. Maybe they do some Zapvertising? Or maybe nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg and I work out a deal where they Zap me 50K sats to post their announcement and talk about their announcement and I send 25K sats to everyone that boosts my announcement note.

This allows those on Nostr without large audiences to participate in essentially what is ad revenue sharing via Zapvertising. 🤯

On Twitter, if you follow some influencer and share their Tweets, you don't get paid for it, but they do! That model is broken, because it takes advantage of people's followers and the person at the top reaps all of the benefits. It leaves a bad taste in your mouth too. 😡

Boosts in this capacity are really cool as they allow for all to participate since we're all building Nostr together. It's more democratic and inclusive. I really like it. 🔥


Okay that’s better nostr:note1uttdxp72zh7c9l68lgac78qw3m9c79jk7zhlndqu5kkrffaw79ysayh4v4

WTF is $boost?


Lol 😂


Eyes are SAFU


Testing this.


I’ve heard if you $boost your own note, it will make you go blind


OK let's try a $boost bounty.
First 10 ppl who boost are in and split the bounty!
Soon as we hit 10 boosts I'll zap this note 10,000 sats! Let's go!


I still don’t fully understand what happened in this thread but a lot of people seem to have been zapped and I like that

In civilizations that operated on a (relatively) sound gold standard see the prices of goods actually decline over time, with improvements in technology? (Taking into account things like slower improvements in tech in the past).

#asknostr


You get it 😁😂


100%

I was just thinking about it….

Whenever someone zaps me, whether it’s one sat or a thousand, I immediately feel a thrill of excitement, followed by gratitude.

So I figure, it’s safe to assume that most others feel that way when they get zapped.

It makes me want to zap people and share/spread that feeling ⚡🫂⚡

Goodnight, nostr 🌙


I assume most Bitcoiners here practice self custody of their Bitcoin, but that doesn't mean that a few individuals may need an extra bit of help in this department - especially new Nostriches that have found Zaps and decided they wanted to buy a little bitcoin and start their journey.

We often say not your keys, not your coins. So, what exactly does that mean? Simply put: If you don't own or have access to the private fey for your bitcoin, then it's not your bitcoin. This can be seen as a true statement time and time again, when exchanges and lending platforms collapse.  People that thought their bitcoin was safe with that entity quickly found out that their bitcoin was not safe.

Taking custody of your bitcoin can be a bit scary sounding, but if you arm yourself with the collective knowledge of all Bitcoiners over the past 14 years, you'll feel safe in knowing that we've done the research, we've tried various methods, and we're here to help with recommendations.

Next up, you may have heard us mention a hot wallet or a cold wallet. What are these? A hot wallet means the wallet is connected to the Internet. A cold wallet means it is not connected. A hot wallet is riskier, because there's an attack vector here. An example of a hot wallet would be a Bitcoin wallet that runs on your phone. A cold wallet would be a separate physical device such as a Coldcard or Blockstream Jade.

Wallets are similar to Nostr signing devices or Nostr signing apps or Nostr signing extensions. They hold your private key for you and sign transactions, just like you do with Nostr. Only one is a financial transaction and one is a social transaction.

Back to wallets, Coldcard is somewhat of an "industry standard", but other cold storage wallets exist. The Blockstream Jade and  Foundation Passport are other good and popular devices.

If you want to learn more, checkout videos from nostr:npub1rxysxnjkhrmqd3ey73dp9n5y5yvyzcs64acc9g0k2epcpwwyya4spvhnp8 on his YouTube channel. He has a plethora of content and tutorials available. Highly recommended. 🔥

All great points! I’m curious what differences in functionality and UX stand out the most.


I’ve thought about enabling this a lot recently. It’s not super clear from Apple’s explanation, though, what the trade offs are (with regard to miscellaneous apps or limited web browsing).

What do you find still works, or doesn’t, that your average person is accustomed to enjoying?


That’s beautiful! Mind if I ask where?

Not good enough, unfortunately. Yes, you gain forward-looking privacy on those transactions,  but the centralized record of your KYC purchase exists forever and governments or hackers will still assume it’s an accurate reflection of your net worth in Bitcoin

Buy p2p to avoid this entirely.

Have you stopped shitcoining yet, anon?


I thought it might be interesting to do a quick technical writeup of nostrdb and the new nostrdb profile searching. This is the first text search index within nostrdb, if you're interested in the nitty gritty details of things, this article is for you!

For the most part, nostrdb has been a copy of the design of strfry, in terms of its indices and multi-process architecture. strfry doesn't support search (yet), so this is a novel feature of nostrdb. What is strfry? If it weren't for strfry, nostr wouldn't work. It is simply the best way to implement a nostr database and relay. SQL servers are just too slow to serve dynamic queries at scale.

I wanted something like strfry that I could embed into native nostr clients like Damus, this is how nostrdb was born!

First, let's look at how nostrdb at a high level.

# nostrdb

nostrdb is an embedded library for native nostr clients. It uses the Lightning-mapped database (LMDB) for very efficient querying. This allows it to skip SQL query parsing and query planning. We don't really need all that with nostr. nostr search filters are a bit more restrictive, so we can build custom indices for the most common nostr queries. This is a huge win CPU-wise, nostr queries can be very dynamic, and skipping the query parsing and planning saves CPU and battery.

Before we get into any of that, let's look at how you would use the library from the highest level. The entrypoint for notes in nostrdb is the `ndb_process_event` function. When you receive nostr events from another relay, this function is called for each event.

## Event processing

`ndb_process_event('["EVENT","subid",{kind:1, ...}]')`

We begin by queueing the event for processing in the multi-threaded ingester. This allows it to return immediately and not block the client.

The ingester is multi-threaded because validating note signatures can be pretty slow. We want note processing to be as quick as possible so nostrdb doesn't have a bottleneck here.

nostrdb is very smart about not burning CPU when it doesn't need to. The custom json parser will stop when it finds the note ID field, lookup that note in the database to see if we already have it, and then stop JSON parsing if we do. This saves CPU for large notes like contact lists, and skips the need to re-validate the signature as well. Even strfry doesn't make this optimization, so nostrdb has a speed, cpu, and battery life advantage here.

During the processing step, nostrdb will detect different note types such as profile metadata. It will look at the `name` and `display_name` field and add a custom index for searching user profiles. Since keys in LMDB are lexicographically sorted and support range queries, our profile search indices is simply (name + pubkey + created_at). This allows you to do a ranged key-lookup on "jb" and it will position the db cursor to the first record that starts with jb. LMDB uses a b+ tree, this is not a linear scan, so it is very fast! Eventually this index will be used for implementing nip-50 search on the nostrdb relay interface, which is coming sometime in the future.

Once we're done writing the indices and validating the note, we store nostr notes in a custom, compact binary format that is easy to access directly in memory from any programming language. We also do this with profile records by leveraging flatbuffers.

So in the end, what does this achieve? It enables you to store as much nostr data as you want with near zero query and serialization overhead. Since the data stored in nostrdb is just flatbuffers, you can access data directly from the operating system's page cache (just a pointer to memory) and from any programming language via flatbuffer's schema and codegen tools. It's so fast it will be guaranteed once of the fastest things in your codebase. You can even run it in your main UI thread so you can worry about other things such as UX and design without introducing complex async logic in your user interface.

## What's next

nostrdb is already partially integrated into Damus iOS. Damus uses nostrdb's compact note format for storing notes in memory, but eventually everything will be switched to use nostrdb directly. The next version of Damus testflight will remove the in-memory and core-data profile cache and switch to nostrdb profiles. Damus currently has a complex in-memory trie data structure for profile searches, but it only knows about profiles it has seen during the current session. This is a common source of confusion, sometimes Damus doesn't auto-complete profiles it has already seen sometime in the past. nostrdb profile searches will allow @ mentions and user search to find every profile it has ever seen in realtime. This will be a huge usability win for Damus and other clients looking to adopt nostrdb.

Right now nostrdb exposes its functionality via direct function calls: `ndb_get_profile`, etc. The plan is that most of these calls won't be necessary. Once nostrdb has nostr filter parsing, it will be able to support dynamic queries of the kind you would expect from your typical nostr relay. This will turn nostrdb-powered clients into relays themselves.

Once nostrdb is more relay-like, then we will be able to leverage strfry's negentropy set-reconciliation queries to only fetch notes that we don't already have. This will be insanely useful for reducing bandwidth usage when querying strfry relays. Eventually it may make the most sense to just let nostrdb do all the websocket querying behind the scenes, becoming a kind of local multiplexing relay.

The future of nostrdb is very exciting. I plan on using it in Damus NoteDeck and Damus Android, why duplicate all this work in every client? nostrdb will make developing native clients much easier.

GM ☀

It seems that in my (possibly tipsy) hashtag rant, my main point got lost in translation.

On-topic hashtags are great: they boost your visibility and help people find relevant content. Onyx does a great job of that — I follow the #nature hashtag and she posts some dope photos of plants.

nostr:npub12z8jsett3k6rv9fa2guau5p540qr2xuvjzkr8e432mglafjt99sqkw9zmx, you’re considerate not to add “Bitcoin plebchain nostr” hashtags to every NSFW post, and it means I’m able to engage with your plant/sky photos without scrolling a naughty feed at my fiat job. This is the right way 🫂🤙 nostr:note14m88v7jeadfatm5hsxzjux6u7z55ve4y554u0utecsr38jjxeltq0uxzhu


That’s a great point. It only becomes a problem when it mixes irrelevant results into your search


Agree


Never 🫂💜


#asknostr

Is it helpful or annoying (or both) to use a huge amount of hashtags to net your post more visibility?

Like if it’s super-specific to the content, that’s cool. And keeping it on-topic will earn you mad respect (hat-tip to nostr:npub12z8jsett3k6rv9fa2guau5p540qr2xuvjzkr8e432mglafjt99sqkw9zmx and your delightful and tasteful nature/flower posts, for context).

But there are some posts/posters which choose “best hashtags for visibility” … and that’s usually a mute from me. I think one of nostr’s core values is authenticity. That’s why “no delete”. It’s why off-brand hashtags immediately dilute the substance of the post.

It’s why I am so reluctant to repost my own posts, even though I know the environment requires reposts to accommodate the absence of toxic algorithms and a global network across 24 time zones.

Now that I've had time to sleep on the "ZBD" issue. I feel that my reasoning yesterday for continuing to discuss this client wasn't so much about ZBD itself, it was because of me being shocked an appalled at the toxicity being sent towards ZBD users. We often say how the vibe on Nostr is different and how we embody positivity, but that hasn't been shown the last few days towards ZBD users.

It's okay to bash a client and securitize it's implementation of Nostr. This is how the protocol grows. However, it's not cool to do this towards brand new Nostriches. They didn't do anything wrong. They're mostly just people looking to play games and stack some sats. There's nothing wrong with that.

This should be a teaching moment for them. This should be a knowledge exchange. We do this for new Bitcoiners, right? We teach them about self custody. The same can be applied here. Instead of telling someone why you feel Coinbase isn't the solution for them, you can tell them why you feel ZBD isn't the solution for them.

Remember, we're trying to #grownostr here, so you need to explain everything in a cool and calm manner here. You could even write a long and precise guide so that you can just give them the noteID or link to the web site.

If we truly believe that Nostr is for everyone and Nostr is open, then we should do better and explain better. We're not toxic. We left that conversation on Twitter for a reason, because we want to build and change the future for the better.

That shouldn’t be too hard!

Start with a small amount. Go to Wallet of Satoshi and click “receive” and then the B to choose an on-chain transaction.

In Bitvavo (assuming it allows you to “send or receive” your Bitcoin off the platform, rather than simply “buy and sell”, then you’ll want to Send the bitcoin (again, a small amount to start with) to the address you generated in Wallet of Satoshi (screenshot below).

If BitVavo doesn’t let you take custody of your Bitcoin and remove them from their buyin platform, well, that’s a huge red flag. In that case, you’ll want to sell all the Bitcoin for fiat, send the fiat to your bank, and then re-buy the bitcoin somewhere else (happy to advise in that case as well).

But hopefully this is an easy transfer!

Also bear in mind that Wallet of Satoshi is a custodial wallet, which means they ultimately control the funds until you send the money to your own self-custody. That can be a second project, but it’s an important one. So don’t put more money into Wallet of Satoshi that you’d be willing to lose. Think of it as, “the maximum cash you’re comfortable holding in your wallet in a neighborhood that’s known for robbery and mugging.”

That’s a great answer! We haven’t made any kids of our own yet, but planning on a few. I’ll certainly be #asknostr-ing any parenting questions, seeing how well so many nostriches seem to treat their children 💜


Very nice! I haven’t seen Ahsoka yet. How is it?

Or,

How did it go?

Whatcha up to tonight, nostriches?

Me, I had a casual dinner date with wifey — delicious quesadillas, then we went for a walk by the river, cleaned the apartment, and now chilling out.

You?

With the collapse of the energy grid they raise money to restore street and traffic lights.

Any time 🫂🫡


Very well-articulated, thanks brotha


These are great answers


CashApp as a direct on-ramp (ie buying Bitcoin within the app) would be your kyc method.

You can also use CashApp (or Strike, Revolut, Zelle, etc.) as a way to send money to another individual, as your payment method for them to transfer you some sats p2p.

The reason for spreading out your payment method is to reduce the centralized records of cash transfers. From a privacy perspective, if you’re frequently sending money p2p like this, especially if the receiving end is a “known” sats seller, one could make inferences about your stacking habits.

Hope this helps!


Definitely easier to accept sell orders in my experience. As for telegram, I’m pretty sure Telegram still works, but it might have moved since Ben’s tutorial video was made


Parthenon is supposed to be pretty cool


Okay I slept on it and definitely still interested in this! Are you able to put me in touch with the metal smith, or something? Would love to get a quote 🤙


Yes, esp on nostr:npub1p2psats79rypr8lpnl9t5qdekfp700x660qsgw284xvq4s09lqrqqk3m82 ;)

Thank you; that makes sense. Those extended permissions are why I’ve still never put my primary nsec anywhere besides the client I generated it within. And I only add extensions to a browser other than the one I use for day to day use.

Appreciate the thoughtful reply 🙏


Certainly possible. For us our the next generation. The future is uncertain - but Bitcoin’s widespread adoption is likely - so I lean towards hedging various regulator/social possible worlds


True that buying non kyc is not intuitive for those used to traditional investing. Absolutely

I agree with leaning toward optimism about the future, as well. After all, that’s kind of the point of Bitcoin and why it makes us all so hopeful/happy/positive about the world we’re creating for the next generations. It’s the first viable way to undo so much of the wrong that has been done!

Thanks for the discussion 🫂


I thought there was a bigger difference, where an extension only saves the data on your device and the web page has more vulnerabilities or ability to leak data.

I don’t have the technical background to claim I know - this is just the impression I’ve gotten from many previous discussions on and about nostr


LOL I had a feeling 🤣


😂 is this you?


It just appeared after swiping around a bit, so maybe it just got sticky for a minute 🤔


Also, I would consider removing the “input your private key here” section and only allow login vi extensions or creating the account directly within.

Private key into web browser is not practicing safe nsecs, and I feel like it shouldn’t be encouraged. Not a bug, but an opinion 🫡


Gorgeous UI, first off.

When you go into Settings, the bottom nav disappears and I don’t see an intuitive way to get back to chats?


That’s the way I’m leaning 🤙🫡


Thank you!


Feels good 💜🫂


I’m at the stage in my nostr lifestyle where it is my goal to finish the day with fewer sats in my zapping wallet than I woke up with.

It’s going well so far ⚡🫡


Another rabbit hole, here we go 😂


Very little space in a city apartment for a desktop computer is the only thing there. Ie my desk if I’m working from home is the dining table….


This is a very rational idea. We also have an absolute piece of crap PC laying around somewhere. Next to zero storage, overheats watching YouTube. Use this too? Lol


Think I will. Finally grabbed the old computer from the storage unit last month


So with a standard laptop and no external storage it would have to be a pruned node?


Thank you! Great answer 🙏


Reset and repurpose old MacBook into a Bitcoin node.

Full node if disc space allows. A pruned node if not.

Yes or no, why or why not?

For the sake of discussion, this is the only piece of hardware available.

#asknostr
#bitcoin


I get where you’re coming from. I’m very “middle way” about this.

The privacy of non-kyc is something everyone should have the freedom to utilize. There also need to be as many easy on-ramps to self custodied Bitcoin as possible.

We also need to remember the massive range and diversity of Bitcoin users in the future. I may be comfortably KYC’d in the northeastern USA and not really need to worry about my sovereignty, but the billions of people living in less-free countries don’t necessarily have the luxury of being comfortable with KYC.


Don’t underestimate the value of my 7 sat zaps mfers. I would never part with a single satoshi under normal circumstances. It means something. Gfy


That’s why two separate stacks 😉


Unfortunately yes. That’s why I like the “two stacks, side by side” move.

Just start a new wallet, buy peer to peer, and hodl the KYC’d stack til “later”.


You’ll get forward-facing privacy on future transactions, but it doesn’t change the fact that your stack details are saved in a centralized record. That’s why the sell is necessary if you want to eliminate kyc


This is the only true way to do it.

You would need to remove the “record” that you hold Bitcoin. Even if you mix/coinjoin/obfuscate your KYC’d sats, the centralized record still shows your original purchase.

If you sell it, your stack is “gone”.

You’ll lose some fiat to exchange rates and fees, but this is the way to convert a stack.

Or you can stack KYC-free in a separate wallet, side by side.


Any time!


I totally get it. But they only lose if they sell - stack harder, stay Bitcoin-only, and extend your time horizon 🤙🤙


Ong Namo 🙏💜 🫂

There’s a beautiful version by Snatam Kaur if you haven’t heard it


If I’d been as early to Bitcoin as I am to nostr…… I’d have a lot more Bitcoin.

Keep that in mind when someone tells you this thing isn’t going to work.

#grownostr


That’s a pretty sweeping statement, but in any case, I’m not sure anything approved by the FDA is 100% effective or safe. Fluoride is added to public drinking water, which is very healthy for almost every human… except for the teeny tiny percentage of people who are deathly allergic to it. But it’s a game of trade offs.


That’s bad ass


A brilliant argument for why Nostr is as important as Bitcoin 😱😉

For real though.

“How can I send [bitcoin] to you, if there’s not a way for us to communicate the address?”

Don’t need a node to have an xpub - it’s just the code that determines the additional addresses that your wallet generates.

Good morning #coffeechain

Whatcha sippin on this morning?


There was a time when there was no bitcoin+no KYC option for translations through #damus. I rolled out nostr:npub109pkdu0k0dau2cz063lzrgn7dl9l7lk8u7njcm2v8pk4pl2a9uzqf6u4w5 to fix that problem and as time has gone on not too many folks are using it.

I want to help the #nostr ecosystem so I’d like some feedback on a new direction. The biggest question is whether you would consider using the service if we made this change.

I’d like to reach a bigger audience so if you repost this I’ll zap you 1k sats.

New direction:
- API keys with no balance will now show any translations that our service has already translated from other people. We have to cache translations anyway because clients send the same note multiple times as you scroll.
- price per character lowers to 0.07 sats per character instead of 0.1

Tl;dr: anyone will get already translated notes for free. If you pay for the service, which is now cheaper, you get translations on notes that haven’t been translated and in effect donate translations to other folks.

There’s pretty much no scenario we make any money with this service, (which is okay because we believe in #grownostr) and we can lower our price because of cheaper/dynamic hosting with nostr:npub1n0delesspp5qyp9sd6d4fql9g3s96k7g4yyvfmpdncpp542wvxzqksp427 thanks to nostr:npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8


Busy weekend 🤙 goodnight nostr 🫂


only took a couple months 😑 but finally got profiles working in nostrdb.

Damus now queries the local relay directly whenever it needs profile info. Its always up to date, has access to every profile its ever seen in realtime, and is as fast as accessing the profile from memory. No longer do clients need to have a separate in-memory cache for profiles, which *drastically* simplifies client code.

The old profile database is buggy and is causing crashes on the current TestFlight build, so this will fix that and make profile loading a lot faster.

Just a small update but a huge technical milestone for nostrdb. Again, thanks for your patience 😁. Damus is evolving into something new 👀

That’s bad, but not necessarily something Cake did. It’s a hot wallet so it’s susceptible to online attacks that hardware signers are not. (Not defending cake here, just pointing it out). Perhaps there was a weakness exploited that day. Did you reach out to them for help?

How long have you had the notification? Today was the first day I’ve seen it. Can you still earn sats without clearing it?


Thanks - I’m not holding anything in Cake - just aware of it as a theoretically easy way to swap Bitcoin for Monero.

How did you get rugged? Thought the wallet was open source and self-custodial


Currently watching Yellowjackets and it is 🔥🔥


Prefer that to the in-app swap in Cake Wallet? Better fees etc?


Hell yeah


Good thinking


Wishing your family peace and grace in such a difficult time 💜🫂


Lame


To be honest, it’s been a prioritization of free sats over digital privacy.

The excuse I’ve made for myself was “Google and Apple already know where I am, so at least I’ll get sats for it now”.

But it’s a fallacy and I know it.

No need to share my location data with yet another company. Better off buying $.05 worth of sats per day.

Strike knows that you sent dollars to another human. Another human knows that someone on strike sent them dollars.

There’s no recorded association whatsoever with the Bitcoin transaction. That’s why it’s a no-KYC buy.

It would take a coordinated and concentrated attack to “scheme” you into buying the no-KYC Bitcoin, which is completely legal to do in USA (currently), so there’s no reason there would be a sting on buyers.

There have been stings on a seller who is evading taxes or operating as a money transmitter without a license (a ridiculous law but it’s a law). But the Bitcoin isn’t the “source” of KYC — it’s whatever fiat platform that seller gets paid on.


Big blockers, people that shilled FTX, rising stars, and idiots proven wrong so many times that I've lost track, are all trying to make a comeback at the same time for some reason. Stay safe Bitcoiners.

@RoboSats is great, with solid variety:

Strike is most popular, but I have seen robots accept payment via CashApp, Zelle, PayPal, Venmo, Revolut, cash-in-person, and stablecoins.

And that’s just for trades denominated in USD!

Also the platform only runs over Tor and the Bitcoin moves over Lightning. So you get considerably better Bitcoin privacy.

Doing the math with the idea of home mining with an s19J pro (104 tH), just for an example.

Cost of energy: > $0.20 per kWh
Profits: negative $3.5K per year

I’d basically pay a 150% premium for no kyc sats…. As opposed to 2-3% premium via robosats, lol

Woof.

Welcome to nostr 🤙 tag #plebchain or #asknostr if you need any help, but it looks like you’re getting the hang of this pretty quickly!


That’s a weird one. I had a similar issue with BlueWallet before they shut their custodial lightning down


🤣🤣

In fairness I really do like the platform. Just within necessarily specific bounds


Does it provide you with a link to look at the txn in a blockchain explorer? Any chance it could have sent it on-chain then opened a new channel in boltz??


🤯

Weird that it’s reflected as a BTC address though


You pay the miner fee for sending to an on-chain address, plus a swap-out fee to Phoenix

But it seems like they often (aways) overestimate the miner fee like 2x 🤦♂


Can someone well-versed in #lightning channel management ELI5 why this happens?

#asknostr nostr:note1zn72pqpc0cvuyl9kcwt3twf3vfnc4cywsjk9l4md6j48vj9mq6msa05lsr


I saw a bunch of people on their telegram who were upset about new fees. Sounds like a double dipping situation on the surface, but I’m not sure I understand it either.


Well that sucks

For once I’m glad not to have access yet 🙃


Technically if your accountant is telling you not to buy Bitcoin, they’re giving you financial advice and that is not a part of their license.

I read this as

Weird part to me is that a bunch of us said wtf and they haven’t acknowledged it

Like, it’s probably bad wording, but a clarification would be helpful from a company with such emphasis on security…


Right. Answer.


Ah, bummer! Guess you’ll have to start stacking from scratch.


It takes a bit of getting used to. Much easier to take existing Sell orders IMO than trying to create & get Buy orders accepted


Thoughts on using nostr:npub1ex7mdykw786qxvmtuls208uyxmn0hse95rfwsarvfde5yg6wy7jq6qvyt9 more in day-to-day use in the States.

I’d love to spend (+ replace) Bitcoin wherever possible. Not just to facilitate adoption, but also to reduce the “normalized invasion of privacy” over fiat networks. This can be achieved using prepaid debit cards, purchased with Bitcoin from a service like Strike.

However, in USA, every single sell/spent UTXO is a taxable event, which includes (to my knowledge) small spends.

How can we utilize Bitcoin conveniently, without needing to deal with the minutiae of what amounts to a “buy + immediate sell” order, from a tax perspective?

My understanding is you have to report every sell order, even if there are no capital gains… right? How do Bitcoin businesses do it? How to stay within legal parameters and not end up with a migraine?

nostr:nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle any thoughts you have re: how to make the strike user’s experience more “tax convenient” would be appreciated 🙏🤙

Legs still kickin let’s ⚡


Zapped ⚡


It’s really quite nice to exist 🫂


For the love of nostrich please don’t revive this thread’s notifications 😳


download Wallet of Satoshi, hit “receive” and then select “Lightning Address” and copy it — then paste to the appropriate field in “edit profile” in your Nostr client (Damus, etc). Then everyone can send you sats ⚡

Make sure to grab the static address (LNURL) rather than the invoice (lnbc…) like this:

https://i.nostrimg.com/556ff891eacfe4e952b2f508a4cc4798e98166b60d23c78c3c7b079e578ceb6a/file.jpeg


The Muun “address” is just an invoice (starts with lnbc…) whereas the address you want either looks like an email (oldestspandex06@walletofsatoshi.com) or a static address (starts with LNURL…)


Following ya too now Matt, sorry to miss you before 🫂


I’m finding it’s a mix. Slow sometimes, but crisp and fast at others.


Worked this time. #[3] zapped ya from WoS and it shows on your counter 🤙

Sleek “sats sent” screen on the new WoS build too 😎


Trying to zap you, and the Damus ⚡ button is yellow and flipped sideways but it’s not queuing up the wallet selection. Doesn’t seem like it would be a WoS issue but I just added my WoS address in Damus so not sure 🤷♂

Cc #[4] thoughts?


Ooh haven’t switched yet lol, that zap went to my ln tips bot Wallet


Sick I’ll try that. Loading real slow for me rn though

PV 🤙


Delighted to hear that 🤙


Are you using the Damus app or a different client?


Ha that’s the way to do it!


Yes, but with 28 relays there’s bound to be a lot of redundancy.


10 relays is a good number. 28 is way too many — your client will be trying to digest too much data and it won’t be helpful. I’m running 7 or 8 and the speed is good, content variety is good. Don’t give up yet!


If one is hypothetically shopping for noKYC sats on a p2p LN exchange, one would need a way to sub-swap


Lol that’s quite fair. I’m still trying to meet and greet newbies but gotta tread carefully 😂


Are those your only remaining unpaid relays?

What effect does it have on your global feed?


Most certainly


You’ll need a NIP-05 identifier. May I recommend nostrplebs.com from #[2]

**Tech Giants Will become Nostr Clients**

#[0]

Tech giants will become #Nostr clients not because they can, but because they will be forced to. Unfortunately this is not a good prediction; a good prediction says not only what will happen, but also when, and I cannot predict the latter. For decades, tech giants like Facebook and Twitter have been enjoying their monopolies gained from seigniorage. This benefited two generations greatly: the boomers and their children. Out of leisure they happily accepted the product as presented to them. Over time, social media was forced to monetize, and users were herded onto platforms they didn't sign up for. The easiest way to monetize free products to users was by selling the user’s attention to advertisers.

Just like no one bought a laptop without an OS, the OS was considered free of charge when in fact it was bundled with bloatware paid for by advertisers.
So, for the first time, the keepers of massive social media platforms have been taunted with a viable decentralized competitor. Will they pivot to the Nostr protocol? Yes, I think they’ll be forced to. Will they create algorithms to manipulate and profit from users? Of course they will. Will they be able to create elaborate walled gardens to monetize your data? Not anymore. Early nostr users flocked to an idea that liberates us from these giant abusive platforms, and more will follow. We now have the luxury of choice.

**#Nostrica | March 19-21 Sunday-Tuesday | Uvita, Costa Rica**

The #Nostrica website is coming along nicely. Have you checked it out lately? The design is 🔥 🔥

https://void.cat/d/PyeYYkYfjtV6y9q1feo2Di.png

The conference is shaping up to be unconference style, meaning there's generally no speakers that are sought after, but discussions are conference participant led and various talks are given based on those in attendance. Though, an agenda is being formed with three stages and talks to be given throughout the day.

* The conference is free. You'll just need to pay for travel and lodging.
* Shared meals will be provided to attendees.
* Family friendly event.
* Nym friendly and privacy mindful.
* Workshops, conversations, music...
* Opportunities to give-back to the local community.

For more information check out https://nostrica.com 🤙


So if you don’t engage in shitcoinery, is there any *need* for a DID that a widely-adopted/internet-saturating Nostr wouldn’t solve?


Excellent answer, thank you 🤙

And in all seriousness: 🚀🚀


Bitcoin mining in Africa can help provide grid stability and sustainability to providers. Bitcoin mining can be good for people and the planet. It doesn't have to boil the oceans 🤣 as you've maybe heard from a few misinformed zealots out there.

*Erik Hersman is an entrepreneur and the co-founder of Gridless. In this interview, we discuss how half of all Africans are without access to electricity, the affordability issue affecting the rest who do have access, and how Gridless aims to alleviate this situation by helping to build out cheap sources of stranded renewable energy.*
