@ WebSummit in Lisbon
a lot of talk about disinformation and social media
feels like no one has ever heard of nostr

we are so ahead ⚡


This is the very reason why the "I can't believe you spent X amount of bitcoin to buy *something*; should've just hodled!" line of thinking is ridiculous. Bitcoin wouldn't have any value in the first place if people weren't insightful and crazy enough to first exchange it for goods and services and accept it as payment.

URGENT: PROTECT YOUR PRIVACY COMMUNICATION RIGHT NOW!

on 4th Sept 2024 #ChatControl regulation representatives of EU goverments will resume work based on a secret document according to Patrick #Breyer, former Member of the European Parliament.

Help to mobilize everybody to defend our #privacy of communication and its developers, investors!

If no preventive actions from your side now, this regulation will be endorsed on 12/13 December 2024.

According to the draft regulation dated 28 May (Council document 9093/24), ChatControl deploys to do, for instance:

🔻 “upload moderation”, users of apps and services with chat functions are to be asked whether they accept the indiscriminate and error-prone scanning and possibly reporting of their privately shared images, photos and videos.

🔻Scan by “artificial intelligence” technology previously unknown images and videos;

🔻If a user refuses the scanning, they would be blocked from sending or receiving images, photos, videos and links (Article 10).

🔻End-to-end encrypted services such as Whatsapp or Signal would have to implement the automated searches “prior to transmission” of a message (so-called client-side scanning, Article 10a).

During the last discussion on 24 May, the Council Legal Service made it clear that indiscriminate chat control scanning of non-suspects is still envisioned and remains a violation of fundamental rights.

Nevertheless, most EU governments are determined to go ahead. https://netzpolitik.org/wp-upload/2024/05/2024-05-28_Council_Presidency_LEWP_CSAR_Compromise-texts_9093.pdf

🌎 Tell your goverment and parliamentarians, that the proposal should be rejected altogether!

🔴Is your government in favour?
→ Ask for an explanation and for your government to revert its course.

🟡Is your government abstaining?
→ Ask why and demand that they take a strong stance against chat control.

🟢Is your government opposing?
→ Great, but take a closer look at the reasoning: Some governments like #Germany e.g. only object to the scanning of encrypted communications, but are fine with the indiscriminate scanning of other private and public communication, with the end of anonymous communication by requiring age verification, or with introducing a minimum age for “risky” communication apps. Also critical governments need to do more, exert their influence in the Council of the EU and agree on a joint list of necessary fundamental changes to the proposal. Absent such revision they should ask the European Commission to withdraw the chat control proposal as it stands.

🔴 In favour of ChatControl: France, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden.

🟡Abstained: Estonia, Netherlands, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Austria

🟢 Opposed the proposal: Germany, Poland

When reaching out to your government, the ministries of the interior (in the lead) of justice and of digitisation/telecommunications/economy are your best bet. You can additionally contact the permanent representation of your country with the EU: https://op.europa.eu/en/web/who-is-who/organization/-/organization/COREPER/

thanks for the suggestion

I installed blue wallet and imported my wallet but it states that it has 0 sats. that isn't the case.
should I wait a bit or does that make no difference?


how do I recover my #alby wallet if I only have the 12 word key for it?
It's asking me for my email account associated with it, which I don't know

in the browser extension


happy that you're here as well ⚡


finally finished my thesis
hello again, nostr ⚡


a massive win for everyone

that's why I wanted to post this here, everytime I read smart contracts in bitcoin I get suspicious but hopeful


anyone familiar with BitVM? found it while browsing the web and I find it interesting. would be nice to know if it works

https://bitvm.org/


can't stress how I love only needing to have an nsec to have access to so much

keep growing, nostr ⚡


on #amethyst 0.86.5 ⚡


agreed, interactions are what matters ⚡


just to share that i lost my Duolingo streak of almost a year
F


done ⚡
I have good expectations for this project, keep going


also, there's going to be a Tor community meet this saturday in Lisbon, Portugal
anyone going?

#tor #portugal


indeed


great! will follow your work

can't zap you btw, from #amethyst


kind of a bummer that some wallets can't receive zaps under 10 sats

imo, this is wrong. I should be able to send 1 sat zaps if I want to


how do you know that user accessed nostr through nos?


is openvibe based on plebstr?


seems like a neat idea, going to try it ⚡

this note brought Tor directory servers to my attention - https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#search/flag:authority
as nostr:npub16jdfqgazrkapk0yrqm9rdxlnys7ck39c7zmdzxtxqlmmpxg04r0sd733sv points out, doesn't this centralise Tor? it seems that who has controls over these servers, has control over what can be seen on the Tor network, and what circuits are built


in april i had the chance to meet and hear from Roger Dingledine, The Tor Project's co-creator
he gave an imteresting presentation, reminding us all that there are no safe places in the internet

and he encouraged me to finally fix my Tor node

does nostr have any presence in New Caledonia?

France banned TikTok, and it seems they might ban more internet access (which should be under surveillance by now)


nice one ⚡

followed ⚡


great iniciative ⚡


is your connection to gitlab.torproject.org awful aswell?


correct
and one may do so by verifying its underlying code, as it is all open-source

if you are unable to verify by yourself then yes, you'd have to trust someone. but that someone can be one who you already trust, eliminating the need to rely on people you don't trust (which is the current state of affairs)

what's your setup? ⚡


when can one add pubkeys to lists with #amethyst?
if no one is working on it, I might do it


I believe no one here is going to build a market that operates on fiat, and I don't think they should
you can trade sats for fiat elsewhere, transactions should only be in sats


"(...) there are no ways to prevent such attacks except when the user's VPN runs on Linux or Android"
windows bad ig


any way to backup lists? can't do it on listr.lol neither on metadata.nostr.com


finally updated my lists
timeline feels so much more clean now


List deleted by owner


yo, back after a while
been reading a lot, what have you been building? ⚡


I receive the error message "Could not fetch invoice from http://hazeem.xyz/BTC/UILNURL/pay/lnaddress/tkay"


where is that?

can't zap you for some reason, using Amethyst


thinking of setting up a small relay, what made your server blow up?

#dev #asknostr


I muse about how nostr is crypto anarchy because anyone with a private key and a lightning address can start a business selling something on nostr, without any government controlled corporation such as Facebook market place. It is a true public square on the Internet, crypto-anarchy in action.

This is a long form article, you can read it in https://habla.news/a/naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzqadlydf3460e333fjkaqwxg7fz82636ew5m36c7hml2xhhsml2y4qqtkummnw3ez66tn943hy7tsw3hj6ctwv9exx6re3rdprz

Listen to the Audio version [here](https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloggingbitcoin/episodes/Nostr-Is-Crypto-Anarchy-e2iei3t).

I've never felt comfortable calling myself an anarchist. I never sought out to be one. Before bitcoin, I was into the punk scene. I know nothing about music or how to play an instrument, but I liked hanging out with punks who wore mohawks, slept on couches, and traveled by train like hobos.  Some of them were accountants. Some were homeless heroin addicts nodding off in the afternoon.

**They were anarchists**. I somewhat sympathize with this worldview. It's like Walden with a modern touch. I don't think I could live that way though. I don't find this type of anarchy all that appealing. It's too Mad Max for me and I own too many damn computers to live in a van.

Sometimes, I'll catch something on the news that makes me pause and ponder the most important philosophical question of modernity, "What the fuck?"

![national debt](https://i.nostr.build/BReWK.png)

Then I remember some of the crypto anarchy literature and think:

- We can communicate with each other.
- We can create contracts.
-  We can conduct commerce on the Internet.
- We can do all of this on nostr.

**That's kind of a big deal.**

"Computer technology is on the verge of providing the ability for individuals and groups to communicate and interact with each other in a totally anonymous manner. Two persons may exchange messages, conduct business, and negotiate electronic contracts without ever knowing the True Name, or legal identity, of the other. Interactions over networks will be untraceable, via extensive re-routing of encrypted packets and tamper-proof boxes which implement cryptographic protocols with nearly perfect assurance against any tampering. Reputations will be of central importance, far more important in dealings than even the credit ratings of today. These developments will alter completely the nature of government regulation, the ability to tax and control economic interactions, the ability to keep information secret, and will even alter the nature of trust and reputation."

--Tim May, the Cryptoanarchist Manifesto

## The Nostr Marketplace Is Crypto Anarchy

![Start a nostr business](https://i.nostr.build/yqDBP.png)

Anyone with a smart phone and the ability to write down 12 words can create a pseudonymously owned business.

- You don't need to build a website.
- Don't need a business licence.
- Don't need to worry about Congress force sell your stocks because they don't like your national origin.
- Don't need a business checking account.
- Don't need a 21st century blue check ID.

![Belt from leathermint](https://i.nostr.build/PO5n7.png)

It's early as an infant taking his first steps, but we are on the verge of changing the world. A few days ago, I bought a belt from LeatherMint. I never would have found this website if it weren't for nostr. I haven't checked my PO Box yet, but it's on the way. I have no idea what LeatherMint's legal name is. I don't know Leathermint's gender, race, nor ethnicity. Hell if I know what LeatherMint's preferred pronouns are, yet I can still conduct business with this person, ghost, robot, or whatever. It doesn't matter because **LeatherMint's identity is not required to do business.** LeatherMint's quality of work speaks for itself. **Reputation is greater than identity**.

"I am fascinated by Tim May's crypto-anarchy. Unlike the communities
traditionally associated with the word "anarchy", in a crypto-anarchy the
government is not temporarily destroyed but permanently forbidden and
permanently unnecessary. It's a community where the threat of violence is
impotent because violence is impossible, and violence is impossible
because its participants cannot be linked to their true names or physical
locations."

wei-dai, b-money

Nostr is not far off this vision. It's not totally anonymous yet, but it allows us to achieve free speech for ourselves despite living under regimes with totalitarianism tendencies.  As the debt and speech banning grows we can exit the mainstream platforms. Wave goodbye to Facebook Marketplace. Say hello to the nostr marketplace, where our money is not subject to debasement. We call it freedom tech.

very cool ⚡


yes, BTC is transparent, and chainanalysis can indeed track BTC through several wallets

but Bitcoin wallets have the possibility of using a different pubkey for every transaction, making it harder to track

mixers also exist, which further obscures the origin of the BTC


been using it more recently, it's a treat

nice onboarding over there


nostr isn't designed with the goal of being a platform for payments. Bitcoin works well because Bitcoin works well in almost any environment
nostr is a worldwide notepad where people can write and post stuff, not a vehicle for monetary transactions

so I don't think it's worth the effort to try and make more currencies viable in nostr, that's just not the point. but the beauty of it ts that if you want to integrate whatever coin in nostr, you can just go and build it ⚡


nostr is for everyone, even for stupid people


don't like that it presents Lightning as being nostr's principal purpose


that depends on what latitude do you live
1h is a nice average for all countries that do it

yes, that's the one
a lot of libertarian ideals are discussed, and the story itself is amazing


1984 or Animal farm are good reads by George Orwell

The moon is a harsh mistress is a great sci-fi novel as well

Do not resort to compulsory taxation. There is no worse tyranny than to force a man to pay for what he does not want merely because you think it would be good for him.

marked the exact same quote on my reading of it ⚡


finally got to reading "Animal farm", by George Orwell

a short but entertaining satire on the creation of a communist system. the amount of diverse social personalisations in the animals gives a great POV of different social classes

enjoyed it very much and recommend it to anyone

Bitcoin literally needs you.

We need more people writing code, experimenting with it, just having fun. You don't need to start a company. You don't need a brilliant idea. If you don't know how to start, read the code and submit bug fixes for the software you're already using.


where's the link?

Why nostr:
- You own your identity
- Your speech stands on its own
- You can run your own everything
- You own and control your social graph
- You are free to say and do anything, but you are not free from consequences (non-repudiation of cryptographic signatures)
- You can proof realness via proof-of-work, either directly or indirectly
- Proof-of-work is what allows you to successfully combat bots, spam, and trolls, as it brings real cost to destructive actions
- Ownership and realness allows you to build and curate webs of trust, which allows for canonicality without central authority


how?


I never played oldschool, played the other one when it came out
came back to the game a couple of years ago but didn't like it at all, if i try it again I'll go to the classic version ⚡


nostr is for all

of course they should have access to cheap energy
just not the way the western countries did it, by burning fossil fuels

it's unfair to ask them to skip directly to clean energy sources to mend the west's mistakes, but there's only one planet; our planet (so far at least)


crazy to know that
are there still two different versions? classic and current?

# Nostr is not decentralized nor censorship-resistant

Peter Todd has been [saying this](nostr:nevent1qqsq5zzu9ezhgq6es36jgg94wxsa2xh55p4tfa56yklsvjemsw7vj3cpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6ur4vgh8wetvd3hhyer9wghxuet5qy8hwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnddaksz9rhwden5te0dehhxarj9ehhsarj9ejx2aspzfmhxue69uhk7enxvd5xz6tw9ec82cspz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3vamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwdehhxarj9e3xzmnyqy28wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wvfnsz9nhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wspzpn92tr3hexwgt0z7w4qz3fcch4ryshja8jeng453aj4c83646jxvxkyvs4) for a long time and all the time I've been thinking he is misunderstanding everything, but I guess a more charitable interpretation is that he is right.

Nostr _today_ is indeed centralized.

Yesterday I published two harmless notes with the exact same content at the same time. In two minutes the notes had a noticeable difference in responses:

![](https://blob.satellite.earth/53b3eec9ffaada20b7c27dee4fa7a935adedcc337b9332b619c782b030eb5226)

The top one was published to `wss://nostr.wine`, `wss://nos.lol`, `wss://pyramid.fiatjaf.com`. The second was published to the relay where I generally publish all my notes to, `wss://pyramid.fiatjaf.com`, and that is announced on my [NIP-05 file](https://fiatjaf.com/.well-known/nostr.json) and on my [NIP-65](https://nips.nostr.com/65) relay list.

A few minutes later I published that screenshot again in two identical notes to the same sets of relays, asking if people understood the implications. The difference in quantity of responses can still be seen today:

![](https://blob.satellite.earth/df993c3fb91eaeff461186248c54f39c2eca3505b68dac3dc9757c77e9373379)

These results are skewed now by the fact that the two notes got rebroadcasted to multiple relays after some time, but the fundamental point remains.

What happened was that a huge lot more of people saw the first note compared to the second, and if Nostr was really censorship-resistant that shouldn't have happened at all.

Some people implied in the comments, with an air of obviousness, that publishing the note to "more relays" should have predictably resulted in more replies, which, again, shouldn't be the case if Nostr is really censorship-resistant.

What happens is that most people who engaged with the note are _following me_, in the sense that they have instructed their clients to fetch my notes on their behalf and present them in the UI, and clients are failing to do that despite me making it clear in multiple ways that my notes are to be found on `wss://pyramid.fiatjaf.com`.

If we were talking not about me, but about some public figure that was being censored by the State and got banned (or shadowbanned) by the 3 biggest public relays, the sad reality would be that the person would immediately get his reach reduced to ~10% of what they had before. This is not at all unlike what happened to dozens of personalities that were banned from the corporate social media platforms and then moved to other platforms -- how many of their original followers switched to these other platforms? Probably some small percentage close to 10%. In that sense Nostr today is similar to what we had before.

Peter Todd is right that if the way Nostr works is that you just subscribe to a small set of relays and expect to get everything from them then it tends to get very centralized very fast, and this is the reality today.

Peter Todd is wrong that Nostr is _inherently_ centralized or that it needs a _protocol change_ to become what it has always purported to be. He is in fact wrong today, because what is written above is not valid for all clients of today, and if we [drive in the right direction](bc63c348b) we can successfully make Peter Todd be more and more wrong as time passes, instead of the contrary.

Discord 🤝 Downloading update


Bitcoin is the best representation of capital that humanity has invented to date. It is not a bond, because it is not based on debt. It's pure wealth, provable because the account balance in each and every wallet can NEVER be negative. It has no inherent revenue stream built in other than the system of mining, which secure the transaction record in exchange for the transaction fees, each new block on the chain generating a reward of a certain amount of Bitcoin into the network. It is not redeemable at any given price because it's a free market for exchange value against fiat currencies that are falling in value.
The SEC does not regulate Bitcoin. It is the one cryptocurrency that they recognize specifically as NOT a security. But no regulations can apply because no regulator can demand that the network do anything, they have no influence and no controls. Thus Bitcoin is completely independent of all existing governmental systems. It operates without aid or hinderance from any third party actor.
The value of the fully released Bitcoin network, 21 million BTC, is equal to the total sum of all financial value in our global civilization. All assets, all property, all futures.  That's hundreds of Trillions of US Dollar value today, and the economy will continue to grow and expand as long as humanity continues to grow our influence on Earth and throughout the solar system.  That's what people are not seeing, the whole picture. It's just potential, certainly, but IF Bitcoin were accepted as the global reserve asset as the store of value, exchangeable directly for goods and services as the medium of exchange, and used as the measurement device for determining the value of those goods and services as the unit of account, then there is no other conclusion possible. Will that happen? Nobody knows. Early in the development and evolution of the network it was possible that governments could have stopped it before it achieved the first few milestones.  But now I believe it's too late to stop and we are headed down that path no matter what.
And when it reaches potential, we won't be talking about it being worth $1M or $10M or $100M of US Dollars because US dollars won't exist. Nor will the Euro, the Yuan or any other fiat measurement. That's what becoming the unit of account will mean.
I have been buying Bitcoin since 2017, when the price was around $2500. I now hold enough, but I'm still buying no matter what the price does. Because when the full transition comes, it will seem silly to have held off buying it at $68k when the actual value is 1/21M of the entire world economy.


well, guess I'll try Mutiny now ⚡

oh indeed I mostly send 1 sat zaps and there's nothing in amethyst that indicates that limit (as expected)

why the minimum limit?


what is this puzzle? what's the goal?


#amethyst can't zap #zeus wallets


1 sat zaps are the way ⚡


wish we didn't have to do this every 4 years


slowly but surely ⚡


would be of massive use⚡


yes, it'll show them
but it doesn't allow editing them


got a 404 on plebed.lol


still no list management in #amethyst
is anyone working on it?

lightning isn't that scalable


awful


still need to read a lot about cashu ⚡


it requiring telegram is not optimal
it's not that used in my region, I want onboarding to be as easy as possible


it requires email address, date of birth and country of residence
that's not at all good


not going well

tried bluewallet, couldn't create a lightning wallet
tried WoS and Primal as stated, both not good options
tried breez, can't create a LNURL

how hard can it be to be zapped in iOS?


I have to give a lot of PII to access that, apparently


gonna try that ⚡


tried WoS but need to make a 100k sats on-chain deposit to get a LNURL


trying to onboard a friend on iOS and it's so difficult to find a good lightning wallet to use with LNURL

also, zaps on Damus are disabled right?

hmm, this opens the door to a lot of mischieving
is this a NIP?

any way to pin a note in our profile in #amethyst? if not, is there any client that can do this?


great feature ⚡


this, I personally know no bitcoiners and no nostr users


#nostrudel has been quite slow and a lot of features seems to not be working anymore (zapping, search, relay management)
what's going on?


still not working, #nostrudel indicates a timeout


ok, testing


tried to update my relay list in metadata.nostr.com, after I updated it twice it just ignores my changes and defaults back to the old one

any help?


the search function in #nostrudel is a bit unreliable
tried to search for notes with "F1" in them, the client showed me 2/3 notes that matched but the rest had nothing to do with F1 whatsoever


this season's F1 cars are all chunky af
cool new Sauber as well

kind of a turn off that it focuses on americans, but will put it on the list ⚡


I can't reach https://relay.nostrati.com/invoices tho


I assumed your lack of presence on nostr indicated that the relay was no longer operacional. that was indeed a mistake, and I'll improve that in the future ⚡


keep up the great work ⚡


zaps haven't been working all that well recently
a lot of invoices not being generated for some reason

using #amethyst and #phoenix


this is just the start ⚡


confusing unit of measure, would love to know the reasons behind its adoption


we can't allow a bug in one client to alter a user's profile in the entire nostr ecosystem


have no idea what covenants are, will read about it

URXO sharing also confuses me. is that an UTXO that can be spent by multiple pubkeys?

have to read more about lightning channels, they still confuse me

wander around and set up a lighthing wallet so that users can zap you ⚡


relays do what relays want, I guess


do you feel #nostr is adopted in your country? and among your peers?


ads?


I'll try to pay again once I'm home


that would be kind of a nuclear option, I don't think I should lose write access for the relay


I payed for the relay a long time ago, probably had the payment confirmation but can't remember


these are ones of the first relays that I payed for

I believe in the past I had access to them, but I can't guarantee this. I don't believe I used a wrong key because I only have one


1 sat is 1 sat, amount comes with value


my two mute lists. what type of lists are mergeable?


and I couldn't figure out how to change a relay to be read or write only


the same is happening with wss://nostr.nostrati.com
did these payments expire for some reason?

I feel like most nostr users are just lurkers


how did you do this? very cool
something with unicode?


Exit your Bitcoin/Nostr optimism echo chamber and stop being sheep that listen to a different group of people and say they aren’t sheep.

Step 1. Unfollow influencers that don’t point out flaws with Bitcoin or Nostr or don’t say anything slightly controversial and keep constantly pushing unrealistic optimistic crap


is nos.social only for iOS?


seems interesting but I failed to see the goal of this, could you explain a bit?


I can't zap you either from #amethyst or from #nostrudel


I believe you're correct ⚡
why can't I zap you? do you have a LNURL?


how can the noderunner see all the addresses associated with your wallet? afaik, only if you provide your private key


thanks!

#amethyst bug (?)
if I zap someone and then go to the previous page (ex: zap a user's post while seeing the post and going back to the feed), the zap isn't sent. or at least the app doesn't show it, maybe in the backend it goes through

how is the halving going to affect the bitcoin ecosystem? are more/less miners expected in the future?
with a decrease in the reward value, I'd expect a lot of mining setups to become unprofitable, and will therefore cease operations, is this idea wrong?


awesome initiative, would love to be able to go
is there a way to see the conferences online?

nice work, one at a time ⚡


a zap for your troubles ⚡


marketplace in #amethyst?
how does this work?


on #amethyst 0.82.1


"Leave the World Alone" just showed to a global audience what we know is coming

great movie tho


infosec tip: reduce your mobile attack surface. check apps for unnecessary permissions. look for secure privacy respecting foss alternatives. delete unused apps. rinse and repeat often

when would NOW be a good time to do this

ye, I know the struggle
recently was able to run some Steam games on Arch, but the experience is not so enjoyable sometimes


spend sats, don't just hodl ⚡


ditch Windows


yes, that greatly increased the amount of carbon in our atmosphere, while saving lives from natural catastrophes


better infrastructure and awareness helped lower deaths


satellites


any way to self host a GPT model that's trained on internet data?

if this question doesn't make sense, please tell me


#Bitcoin fixes a lot of things, but it doesn't fix stupidity

Stay vigilant 🫡


good outcome

onwards, better this time ⚡


the ability to embed text messages in transactions is a powerful one
ordinals are but a branch of the immense use cases this presents, and considering ordinals as spam builds a dangerous precedent

anyway that's up to the miners whether to include that TX or not (correct me if I'm wrong)


safe travels in the debug boat 🫡


can I filter my node's mempool if I'm running Bitcoin Core through Umbrel?


btw I can't zap this note in #amethyst, invoice value is always different from the value that I selected


that can only be done by miners, correct? nodes don't have access to the mempool, right?


followers aren't relevant

interactions are ⚡


yo I can zap you on your profile but not on the stream (using amethyst)


the variety of nostr developers out there, with different ideas and methods, is astonishing
always eager to know what is being developed, the possibilities seem endless

anyone can thrive in this environment ⚡


that's what I did


OCEAN really went from one end of the spectrum to the other in the nostr hivemind


can't install the PWA on Android, with Firefox browser. I click install and nothing happens


another concrete and glass behemoth
looks cool, but not too ecological of a project, it seems


Curiosity Stream has terrible customer support
been without their service for a month now and they still haven't resolved the issue


how long can a transaction be in the mempool before being discarded? or does that never happen?


wtf is going on with the mempool?

#mempool #bitcoin


how do you have a personalised lightning address? by running your own node?


why can't I zap you?


what is that?


in #amethyst 0.81.5 ⚡


people just need to break free of the stigma towards Bitcoin

once they realise Lightning is as easy as "regular" payment methods, it's a question of months for majority adoption in some areas


set up a LNURL so that users can zap you ⚡


fair points

wouldn't another solution be to use several VPN endpoints? you may have tainted one but not all

but yes, privacy in the internet these days is hard. we may have tainted somethings we take for hidden


is the nostr a layer 3 or 7 protocol?

does in work on top of TCP? or is it something different?


only the VPN provider has that info
and that depends on the VPN provider


contributed a little, great project ⚡


It's very attractive to the libertarian viewpoint if we can explain it properly. I'm better with code than with words though.


just found out that #nostrudel has a built-in emoji keyboard, how much better can this client be?


everyday loving nostr more and more ⚡


posting from #amethyst 0.81.3 ⚡


aaaaand zapped for entry into wss://relay.nostr.com.au
testing testing once more


just zapped to access eden.nostr.land
testing testing


any open source project needing a hand?


where do you create badges?


tested?


making progress in having a GrapheneOS phone

have to wait 6 days for Xiaomi to unlock my bootlader, wth


finally cleared my bookmarks
there were so many of them


still can't add an npub to a list in #amethyst


it's my main browser client now, best from the ones I tested


ok testing relays


and you can create lists in the app, marvelous


just now discovered about nostr goals

loving noStrudel, really nice browser implementation (and it works with vimium)


is wss://nostr.milou.lol down?


is wss://relay.orangepill.dev still up? not been able to write to it recently, and nostr.watch couldn't read from it either
nostr:npub16jzr7npgp2a684pasnkhjf9j2e7hc9n0teefskulqmf42cqmt4uqwszk52


kudos to nostr.watch, a very well done tool


the client shows the responses of the relays to your note, very cool


testing things on noStrudel


a lot of apps in nostrapps.com aren't maintained anymore
crazy the amount of work abandoned


posting from #satellite
neat client so far


where can I see nostr stats like active npubs per day, notes per day, etc?


who's Charlie Munger?


are you seeing this note without a VPN?
go fix that ⚡


all i want for christmas is a small portable nuclear reactor to mine bitcoin


set up a LNURL so users can zap you ⚡

how do badges work in nostr?
 do they have a special event ID?
 are they client based?

so, the most recent Hunger Games is meh at best

nice backstory, but nothing else much good about the almost-musical film


anyone want to open a lightning channel? would be my first


so a friend of mine just installed the #breez wallet and I wanted to share her Lightning address but the wallet only allows for invoice receiving

how can I see her address?


yes, diversity is required, both in wallets and clients


if for some miracle that number is less than 300, I'll order one


is listr.lol working for you?


was that the message embedded in the zap or an additional comment to the note?


been using your wallet for some time and just now realised you're on nostr
great work with it, kudos ⚡


great initiative! kudos ⚡


most people are lazy, they're only going to change when they're forced to; when their government fails them

most people alive today won't ever accept Bitcoin. they're too accustomed to their govs. to waht to change

lucikly, we don't need them to grow Bitcoin. change starts with those who want to see it

use your sats, incentivise the economy ⚡


it's impossible to move faster than nostr
good work here ⚡


Binance CEO pled guilty to money laundering. BINANCE will pay $4.3 billion in fines per the WSJ

Remember: Not your keys, not your coins.
Also, don't let your hard-earned money be used by these transnational criminals.


love to see that colossal red line in #bnb


don't like to read "trust" there
I'll stick with lightning for now


set up an LNURL so that users can zap you ⚡


this is true, governments only lose with bitcoin adoption

change must come from the people, it will never be incentivised


each day loving nostr more and more

 *this* is freedom of speech ⚡


only when obligated by the government (sadly)


one step closer to make the public understand it's self custody or bust

this won't help bitcoin adoption in a short-term view, but it solidifies its long-term trust


just read the news about #binance, yikes

self custody or no custody ⚡


tell that to government institutions


different people, different clients
the power of decentralization ⚡


there will be many different types of nostr clients with different tradeoffs and user experience

a client focused on a mainstream demographic will be very different then one focused on power users

users can change clients at any time and will strongly benefit from client specialization


how?


starship is a monster

kudos spaceX

1 sat is the only comparison that you need to be doing
a "fraction of a penny" is a very fiat mindset


this is so stupid


what wallets are there that support liquid? and how is it different from Lightning?


yup, same thing


uninstalled my last social app a week ago, life has been better ⚡


as nostr:npub18kpw3akvdsyk239lx0jgwksr74sq4nlha3r8u9g2rnrhztfpfhysy469c4 said, I also believe that in a hyperbitcoinized world most people will not transact on-chain


how did you change the opacity of that last hashtag?


I zap a lot of users, but around 20-30% of users that I try to zap do not have a LNURL

why is that? maybe client onboarding should explain what is a LNURL and why everyone should have one


what is a CPFP?


why would this fail?

nostr:nevent1qqsqqqq80ln5dnqakkfvrk9v0uvljauselqem996st58z2vca4r7mqspp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqzyrfawsfymha4hhrphrcc697rxddmknuvwyvz5d0wyuc55jdyada36qcyqqqqqqggxvu39


never heard of Ark, is it similar to Lightning?

ye, there will be a lot of L3, sadly


so in a hyperbitcoinized world, on-chain fees are through the roof? that will impossibilitate widespread usage, imo


still no notifications on #amethyst
tried to use ntfy for it, but it still doesn't work. anyone got it working?


this won't be good for bitcoin adoption
doesn't Lightning ease the onchain fees tho?


I support this, easier to find stuff


why do you say that?


we keep building ⚡


just contributing to the nostr ecosystem with notes is enough ⚡


I use the F-Droid version, which doesn't have translations


#amethyst is for Android


doesn't #amethyst do that?


this emphazises something that was been troubling me
we can never say that our wallet are completely secure, and in a quantum world, even less

unfortunately


what's a PWA?


set up a LNURL so people can zap you ⚡


so many redundant projects at #websummit
most of them involving AI, a lot of e-commerce platforms (with no lightning integration)

a lot of web3, very little Bitcoin


what the fuck


because you called me


nothing should be banned, forbidden or censured
people can and should make their own decisions


what is a rule book?


where was this?


a lot of debate about energy's future at #websummit
a nice break from all the AI


you didn't ask anything


At Web Summit in Lisbon

AI everywhere, both useless and good applications of it
Web3 is also annoyingly everywhere


just found a Worldcoin booth in one of my city's metro stations
troubling


why the sudden interest?


people prefer convenience to privacy, sadly


is Alby usable on Android yet?


nice work, keep it up ⚡


learned something today ⚡


zapping isn't as flowy as is it in #primal  or in #amethyst  tho


been using #coracle  while at the desktop, liking this client

what do you use as a desktop client?


Flew over my head then


I'm not from the US


is it zapathon?


yo, where to find cool posters?


finally uninstalled Instagram


Banks “approve” your transactions.
#Bitcoin “confirms” your transactions.
The difference is a matter of your freedom.


ok so none of that worked
going to look into it


what's happening in the mempool? not aware


tested?


on #amethyst 0.87.7, and just installed ntfy for push notifications
at last, Amethyst with notifications (I may be a few versions late on this)

help me test it, ping me with smth


from my experience, people overall still don't know a lot about Bitcoin
is this just from my region, or do you also feel that people living in your area don't know a lot about Bitcoin?

a lot of work still needs to continue for Bitcoin's adoption


great stuff!


been loving Tom Misch, in particular the album where this is from

https://open.spotify.com/track/2RmoWGJh7j7zkZHPTNCFkq?si=UI1ZTtELT7ehl9mNTzD7iw&utm_source=copy-link


if that were true, mobile data would be incredibly slow, satellite communications wouldn't work and video conferencing would be rubbish


great race for Leclerc


comically true


same, Amethyst crashed while loading that note
why tho?


kudos ⚡


just finished "The moon is a harsh mistress"

what a beauty, top 5 in my list

you're right, I overstated
my point stands tho


been using Aliexpress a lot lately (for electronic components mostly)

feeling somewhat guilty because I'm using something that comes from a country which I dislike for so many reasons

but, unfortunately, it's just plain cheaper to cut out all the middle men and buy directly from the source

using eBay or Amazon is almost the exact same thing, if not the same in some cases


would be a neat feature in some clients


spend your sats. incentivise Bitcoin's economy ⚡


nice one

very interesting concept

when you spend cashu mint tokens, someone has to receive the same amount of tokens, correct? how does the cashu protocol move these tokens around the network with no logging?

curious with the protocol tho


I believe nostr doesn't has a large enough network of users to have multiple "big personalities" in their own separate bubbles

without more adoption, we all converge on the same


I love progress ⚡


This really is the worst. Instagram started the trend with their hideous "log in or else" flow. Then Twitter and reddit went to insanely privacy-hostile API changes instead of simply requiring a proof of work or anon payment. Even some major nostr relays seem to be doing Tor blocking now (damus? Not sure, but I get a ton of errors connecting to certain relays via Tor.)

Platforms have become so fearful of bots/spam/scraping (or rather pretend to be fearful, so as to justify blatantly commercial and anti-social decision-making) that they've totally destroyed the open access model that a functioning freenet depends on.

This is the main reason I want to see "unowned" protocols succeed. Jack has it right: we're at a turning point.

been reading about Cashu, but can't understand its advantages over lightning, not even its differences

could someone shed some light on this?


3 months now only with Arch Linux

been having a pleasant surprise; very few things have broken, and those that did were easy to fix. very active community with a gigantic user repository with everything you might need

it's going to be hard to leave this OS, so far the absolute best for PC


don't understand its differences with Lightning


The fact that Bitcoin isn't yet accepted everywheree and for everything really underlines for me how few people have actually used Lightning. Whenever I show somebody how it works, there's always that "wow" moment. But why was it a surprise?

The problem is that normal people still understand BTC from the one half-remembered opinion piece they read in 2017, and are operating under the belief that transactions still take an hour to settle, rather than being instantaneous and irreversible — money transmission without the Paypal Problem. The public mind needs a cache refresh.


on #amethyst 0.76


https://docs.cashu.space
started reading about this new protocol Cashu
can't understand its advantages over Lightning, or even its differences


what is Cashu? is it a protocol?


nutted too slow ⚡


you don't need to use a VPN, but it grants you a layer of extra privacy, and not only on nostr

Mullvad is a great VPN provider, it only records your account number


a Keynesian? what is that?

agreed that not everyone has the "luxury" to spend their sats. I say that in quotes because 1BTC = 1BTC at any time, most holders don't want to spend it because they're always comparing it to an inflationary currency (USD, EUR, ...)

but holders of Bitcoin who can spend it, should do it as much as possible, otherwise Bitcoin is just a gimmick, instead of an actual currency


stop being surprised when corrupt governments do fucked up shit

expect it - route around them


saving Bitcoin doesn't stimulate its economy, which hinders adoption


Never let someone tell you who you are. Show them who you are instead.

Gn & Pv! 👊⚡🫂🌜


how do they gather such data? do they say?


preach it

bitcoin is to be used, not saved


we can't scroll through the comments while hearing a post with a video in #amethyst

pls fix? might do it myself if I have time, such is the magic of FOSS ⚡


how many sats for a coffee?


growing my nostr network by the day ⚡

it's important to interact with different points of view, and nostr certainly does that very well

In that case I'd just use a new one, yes


Sure you can have multiples, but I don't think there's any benefit to it. Maybe if you want, for some reason, to have two separate lightning accounts


Can you give anymore details on what that is? A 2FA for lightning transactions?


Had used bitcoin before, but until nostr, I had never used lightning.
Fast forward a week and I'm setting up my own lightning and bitcoin nodes!
I hope what happened to me happens to everyone that experiences nostr.


Not the first time that someone complains about that, but never happened to me.
Never used astral tho


Markdown in comments? Yes please!
Which client did you use to post this?


Snowden effect at play


you ok there, mr processor


Go to his profile, his LNURL is there. You can use that to tip


Great job! Zapping you


How do you use Alby for mobile clients? Isn't it browser-based?


For what platform?


Sadly, I'll be joining virtually. No money to travel off country


In a perfect world we could pay for plane tickets with bitcoin. Until then, have to join the #nostrica virtually


Link is client-based tho. The unique feature of a post is its noteID, which I can't seem to link here properly. Maybe another client-based capability, like posting images


OK just found out that I don't know how to link to other posts


Ups, meant to write note13fg8fz3kshp4c96554fq3080agzqq6f8207gk95tjx23s3f9rpxslgzz33

This works!! Thank you so much


I have my public key in npub format, what I don't have is the private key in an nsec format. Is it the same procedure? nsec1 prefix and 6 chars checksum at the end?


How can I apply this to convert my private key into nsec format?


Sorry, that left me even more confused


Yeah, using a combination of color + different characters is always the best option, not only on social networks, but on everything that has color and tries to relay information to the reader
