Mom helped me avoid getting forced into the jab back in 2020 by getting a fake vaccine card for me. Then her political views were manipulated by MSM and now she thinks I'm a lunatic for not getting vaxxed. She's had "covid" 5 times and she's triple boosted. I was sick for a week in 2020 and haven't been sick since.
Reply guys have me feeling super popular like Elon musk. I post a note and immediately get replies. Thank you to my reply guys out there doing god's work. Glad you enjoy my notes.
Almost two years on Nostr. I really like it, but as someone who grew up with myspace and transitioned to FB in 2006, it is very easy to see why Nostr isn't more common. It's complicated. The clients break all the time. There are bots constantly cluttering the threads. You can't delete things...etc
If I can't explain to my almost 70 year old parents how to use it in a 2-5 minute tutorial, the average user isn't going to spend the time.
I have friends and relatives who are incredibly intelligent and even they won't spend the time because it isn't intuitive. It doesn't guide you through the process. You have to understand the rationale behind why you should use it.
No one really had to explain to me why I needed myspace or Facebook. They showed it to me once or told me about it and boom, I created an account because it made other things easier. With Nostr, similar to Bitcoin, it takes a desire to educate yourself...a trait that is hard to come by to be brutally honest. I really do hope that it takes off. My two sats for the day. End rant.
Thanks. I'm dumb. I'll read all of this but I don't know how to apply it. I gave up on primal and I'm on Damus at the moment. Amethyst is really cool but has a lot of features that I haven't explored yet.
How would you set up a trustless process to buy a small amount of bitcoin ($10-$20) monthly to hand to someone in 16 years?
Challenges:
Avoiding hardware signing devices
Avoiding/limiting manual processes monthly
Avoiding co-mingling of personal sats and gifted sats
Avoiding the password/keys being in the custody of the parental guardian of the receiver (a toddler)
Avoiding economically unspendable UTXOs and UTXO management frequently
Would like for this to be automated.
This would be for a God-parent to gift to God-children when they come of age.
Could you use lightning via Strike and zaps with a Nostr private and public key pair? How would you do this?
Wouldn't this create economically unspendable sats at a certain point in the future? If you bought a $10 voucher every month for 192 months, and the price of Bitcoin had increased during that time, the fees go up and moving this stack of 192 UTXOs would incur enormous fees?
