 What would be the reason I don't see many zaps on noStrudel? When I try to zap it doesn't show up on the post even after paying the invoice. @noStrudel #asknostr 
 15 proof of work here. 
 Yeah, 15 was just a few seconds. Cool! 🚀 
 20 proof of work here. 
 OK. That took a little less than a minute so I'll try something reasonable like 15 next so I don't notice a difference but it adds some proof I am a human. 
 Another 10 proof of work to see if it is instant again. 
 It was instant again for me. 
 40 proof of work here on noStrudel. 
 It took over 5 minutes so I stopped. 
 I posted this note on noStrudel with `10` proof of work? Let's see how long it takes. 
 That was almost instant for 10 proof of work. 
 Why is it that often when I use a webclient for Nostr I have trouble 
making posts or liking? I am using Mullvad but I wouldn't think that 
would matter. I'm also using Firefox and Linux. #asknostr  

Even making this post the send button wouldn't work. I had to refresh Coracle. 
 I adjusted my relays with the Amethyst client. Maybe that will help. 
 What is a better client? I tried to setup Gossip but I couldn't figure it out. 
 I'm going to give NoStrudel a try. 
 So far so good! Posts actually go through! 
 Explain how a 9-5 job is not slavery?

🤔 
 Because you choose to do it. Taxes are a different story. 
 I mean, there is a number of ways to make a living but there isn't many 
ways to not pay taxes, whether sales, income, property or capital gains.

Nobody is going to arrest you if you quit you 9-5 for a 2 hour part time
 gig and cut your costs of living.

People will arrest you if you decide 24% tax is too much and only pay 2%
 every year.

When people come to your door and arrest you for not doing what you want
 is when it becomes slavery. When people use physical force against you 
to make you do what they want, then it is slavery.

 He did say in his video he expects the attack to improve. Be very careful about signing from untrusted devices! 
 Nostr Wallet Connect is badass! I can use cashu.me with my mint and zap using my own funds! #cashu  #bitcoin  #nwc 
 Aqua is getting good for payments with some of the new updates. Aqua uses the second layer lightning network and Liquid sidechain on bitcoin. By using both it makes it easier to use both the lightning network for payments, but also store bitcoin easily on Liquid temporarily before deciding to move a lot of bitcoin to a more secure and permanent location. https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/aqua-wallet-v0-2-0/ 
 On Android, use Amber.

 Me neither! 
 An address starting with a '3' probably is some kind of multisig. I wonder why they didn't use bech32. 
 Is there any money to be made in running a cashu mint? 

I suppose not because then everyone woul... 
 Yeah. The lightning channels can be configured to take a fee on each deposit and withdraw. That's an honest way.

One could also rugpull after running a mint for awhile by turning off their mint and taking all the SATs in the lightning channels. So, be careful which mints you trust! 
 What's the best way to strip metadata in media before posting on nostr using android?
#asknostr  
 I think GraphineOS strips metadata from pictures when taking the pictue.

For vanilla Android Im not sure. Sometimes I have used another app like Signal to send and image to myself.  I think apps like Signal will remove meta data when they are compresses. I sure hope they do! 
 Help… I need your advice #nostr fam…

I met this girl online… she likes all of my posts and... 
 🤣 funny.

I troll them back saying crypto is boring. Im interested in finding a girlfriend and having a family. What is so exciting about money anyway?!

I keep asking them more about themselves and if they want me. I don't tell them anything about myself at all! 
 Where is a place on Nostr to comment on something Eric said?

Holding bitcoin could be seen as a service or businesss. Holding and hopefully selling, lending or using as colateral for a profit.

I don't follow why holding bitcoin is high time preference. Compared to what?

 Don't forget about Cheapair.com. They have been accepting bitcoin for a long time and even have their own BTCpay Server to accept bitcoin. 
 I'm not sure. Best to ask in the Minibits Telegram chat as these clients are under active development. GL

 Getting zapped in nuts it's even more fun!

What's your nuts zapping address?

 I'm jealous of you bitcoin celebrities getting nutted on all the time from zaps. 😳 
 I believe it is legit. Hope.com is Saylor's domain. 
 How often are you not able to find or see a note?

 I have been wondering about that. I have no idea how many I see

 I thought everyone did.

 Minibits or eNuts is very fast for custodial lightning. Phoenix is probably the fastest for non custodial. I have never tried Phoenix. Mutiny is also very fast and doesn't require to install an app. Cashu.me also doesn't require to install an app to use lightning.

 Money is a tool helping decide how and where to use resources. Messing with the money makes the money less effective. The economy becomes distorted, confused and corrupted. 
 I have never heard of Tangem or Safepal. If you can get the seed of those wallets you can import in into Electrum or Sparrow to do the CPFP. Im not sure if Blue Wallet does CPFP. 
 #AskNostr anyone know if there is a Nostr like Instagram, tiktok and YouTube

Thanks, for telling me how to set this up in minibits! 
 Does anyone know why I cannot "discover" on OxChat? Are servers and relay down?

#asknostr @water783 
 Yep. I'm using Mulvad and had a USA endpoint. I switched to Australia and it connected right away. Is the USA blocked? 
 Australia works but I also tried Belgium and it didn't work either. 🤷 
Event not found
 Great points! Are you guys working on Cashu for Mutiny? That would be super fantastic!

Lightning works but I'm often frustrated by needing to open the app every day to avoid channel closes.
