 Legit Question: is @MainVolume a real person or a bot? 
 Haha I've asked myself the same question. But I'm assuming and hoping for the sake of. humanity, bot 🤣

 Serrano. Rugged 
 Absolutely  
 Lol, just had to use PayPal to send someone 20 bucks (don't ask...). $2.99 fee 🤣🤣🤣🫠 
 Guess so!! What a shit show racket 
 exactly! 
 haha yeah thats true - but layer zero  - I'm so used to Lightning at this point I forget about fees! 
 What makes you think I'm not.... 
 Haha. The real answer is that I'm Welsh, but in Canada, so I got that Canadian speak.

I'm intrigued how you called it in the first place 🧐 
 Loool, that's a fair giveaway tbh 🤣 
 Wavlake no longer available in the Canadian Google Play Store? :-O 
 I'm so so sorry my friend. Absolutely devastating.   
 Wallets are free 

Yall weird  
 Maintaining the lightning channels is not though, and there's other associated coats with building these services.

I appreciate where you're coming from though (I can't afford to lose 20k sats just for the ability to zap 21 sats now and again).

I just don't know where the balance is 🫠 
 Great tracks man, sounds awesome. Congrats!!! Next time I'm in your neck of the woods I'll give you shout, its been a while! 
 I don't know, but the one to the right looks like an ageing globe holding on to a handrail  
 No context, but this footage looks like it's from New Zealand  
 Oh I was right 🤣 
 Yeah, also he looks panicked 🤣 
 I installed pokey, then uninstalled it. 😝

Appreciate the work but the last thing I need is nostr notifications - unless it's a notification telling me to stop using nostr 
 Haha, nah it's an Android app that runs in the background and pulls nostr events and shows you notifications - basically push notifications, which typically haven't been something that works well with current Android clients

 ThinkPad T490!

That is all. 
 Lol!! i7-8665U, 16GB ram. I just installed Fedora 41 - mission shit-fuckery and posting on nostr 🤣 
 I've just always grabbed Fedora or Ubuntu for ease of use. I like Fedora because flatpaks work well! 

What do you use or recommend?  
 Interesting, I haven't tried any of them, will check them out when I have time. It's funny actually, Fedora 41 was not playing well, network kept dropping to a crawl. Installed Ubuntu for now and it's pretty cozy I'm not gonna lie!  
 Appreciate the thoughtful response. I think I might still need the training wheels for now 🤣, but I see where you're coming from. Main thing right now is just playing around anyway, so I think doing the VM thing might be a good route for me while still having something that generally works.

Anyway, I'll definitely reach out if I have a question 🙏

 Would also love to know this 👀 following thread 
 Yes, a way to do this would kinda solidify the censorship resistance part of using nostr. Sure, I can get banned from a relay(s), maybe they also purge my notes. But a way to then move to a more accepting set of relays and re-broadcast - BOOM!

 Yeah I went a short way down the lightning node rabbit hole and definitely wasted quite a few sats. I guess it was fun, but yeah not a long term solution for me, ended up using Phoenix for holding some sats and Wallet of Satoshi for fun zaps 🤷‍♂️

 Heh heh couldn't resist. 

Yeah I like Signal, not many of my contacts use it unfortunately, but I have got my core family members on to it and that's the main thing 😝 
 Yeah I kinda keep Signal for like close family and friends tbh. Yeah SimpleX is still not particularly mainstream feeling yet.  
 I see you, didn't see a notification for you first one though.

Anyway, nope I haven't heard of Tox before which is interesting because it's been around a while by the looks of it. Will check it out, thanks 🫡 
 I guess the one in the video is a bit different 🤣.

As a non gun guy I just stay naive and enjoy the alien go boom 😝
