@starnold wrote an article summarizing the events of #Nostrasia, picking out some of the most important highlights about #Nostr. It's published on bitcoinfocus.nl If you 've never heard of that it's probably because it's a Dutch newsletter website focused on #bitcoin education and reporting. If you can read Dutch or know how to translate using chatgpt or the like, it's worth reading.

Wondering what all the commotion was about yesterday with Mutiny and Zeus? Here’s our summary of what happened.
@OpenSecret stirred up some controversy yesterday after announcing their decision to disable the ability to zap @ZEUS wallet users. They said the decision had to do with increased forced channel closures due to stuck payments with Zeus’s approach to locked payments, and further said the decision would not affect the ability to pay Zeus invoices or LN addresses.

Meanwhile, Zeus pushed back with their own statement saying, “ZEUS will never block payment to our competitors’ wallets, disparage or belittle anyone trying [to] push Bitcoin adoption forward, or give up on trying to ship self custodial solutions.”

The news was hotly debated and thoroughly memed among #Nostr users throughout the day, some in favor of Mutiny’s decision, and some decrying it as censorship and a removal of user choice. Ultimately, Mutiny issued a further update that gives users the option to assume the risk if they want to, calling it “Freedom to get rekt.”

The two wallet makers ended the night wishing each other well… well, sort of:
“Night night. Don’t let the force closes bite.” nostr:note1v2h3f4q2uel70te5z7yaplf69lv7aclg9nler5mnecs8mt7xv53qmfzt74
“gn, check your zaplocker before falling asleep” nostr:note1tpnz6jwrrcadkfql39ele2w0kd55yfaazjwhmfyge2asynnnwsxsvynlhg
