 are raspberry pi power hungry devices? 
 Depends what model, how many, and what you have them doing

Just one, not really 
 They're a good way to do it for sure 
 After a few days checking out #Nostr it seems like it sucks because nobody but me can design & implement a good new infrastructure plan

Kinda surprising - thought there might be more competition for credit or whatever 

Guess I better try not to die before fixing this thing  
 #Nostr ecosystem needs more support for tipping methods other than #lightning - focus is too narrow-minded right now, stack knowledge not just sats

Vital in my view to develop support for on-chain #BTC #XMR & #DOGE

Maybe #ETC or even #ETH might be good too

There are also some like #RVN that could be uniquely useful to nostr in other ways over time  
 Seems like a bad omen 😒

 The amount of sats needed to open the channel is crazy tho. Sounds bad 
 1. It should be if we're trying to design a system that isn't trash 

2. Putting your money in sus holes so the feds can probably take it isn't the way to get freedom in this broken system  
 You and I have different ideas of holding our own keys πŸ€” 
 1. Phones aren't secure
2. Lightning is sus

Having keys to regular on-chain crypto on a hardware wallet is much closer to holding your own keys 
 A minimum deposit requirement is a sus way to "pay for" something, and this is an insanely high minimum deposit requirement for tipping on nostr  
 So in your world, it's hypocritical to criticize security flaws while testing platforms? Weird post  
 Such a high deposit requirement does alienate people 
 I guess my first try for at least a temporary solution would be like, a NIP to add non-lightning tipping support  
 Probably worth the price, but makes me paranoid  
 No. Lightning is absolutely sus. Testing the infrastructure available to me while I criticize it in pursuit of a better future isn't anything like hypocrisy 
 Might have accidentally double posted this

 Recognizing that Hamas can't discriminate between civilians and military in Israel comes with recognizing that Israel may need to be genocided in the worst case scenario.

People always bring up the Israeli children somehow being meat shields. It's illogical. When parents want to kill kids, sometimes you can't save their own kids from them. That's not a reason to let them also kill more in addition  
 No, I'm saying the Arab world might not be able to stop Israel without indiscriminate attacks like bombings  
 I wish for the best, I'm just saying I won't be angry at what people have to do to survive if they do it in the name of survival. I condemn those acts done in the name of evil  
 For Israelis it's a choice

For Palestinians that choice may have been made for them already  
 Good morning

Weird bumping into you here after knowing you on Bluesky. Remember telling "blocked by pfrazee" to use nostr more?

Just randomly saw one of your posts being boosted by someone else on here, I've only been fully exploring nostr for a couple days. Still using temporary keypairs lol  
 Put my nsec in a #Nostr client for Android called "current" but it didn't work.

Guess now that app just has this key for no reason lol 

Will keep trying to get it working but this is part of why I'm on a temporary account while I explore the nostr ecosystem  
 Got this working but it's a bit buggy compared to Amethyst. Had to loop through a weird process a few times to get it to work. Might still be worth using alongside other clients.

 is there a nostr based podcast app? 
 Does nostr not allow audio attachments? Seems kinda odd but at least on Amethyst I don't see a way to attach audio at first glance 
 I'm waiting for nostr to support dogecoin someday πŸ˜‚

Actually just getting started with nostr, gonna try a few clients and stuff before I might set up zapping πŸ€™ 
 The dogecoin developers might also have to come up with a lightning equivalent or something. The secret sauce will be invented someday πŸ₯˜ 
 This guy reviewing a #Nostr client on Google Play is exactly the kind of user we need on Nostr πŸ€”

 There are pictures of me online already, no reason nostr should be seen as more dangerous than the corporatist segments of the publicly accessible internet

 I wish all civilians well including Muslim and Jewish people around the world

However I don't think there are necessarily civilians in Israel. At least not many. It depends how you define civilians in a such a murderous democracy

 Wonder who runs DissentWatch and what exactly it is. I unfollowed over a really weird post 
 Stark canned reply 14:

To entertain the notion of blaming anyone but Israel for this atrocity, you have to think Israel didn't start this fight.

If you shot at someone for being Jewish and they died of a gunshot wound, but forensics showed it was an attempted self-defense ricochet, should you go free?

 I have empathy for the captives in Gaza but not much. They shouldn't be released, they're enemies, and their own allies are trying to kill them so I can't really let myself care

 Based on what? Is there censorship on nostr?
