 Unfortunately it’s only Canadians right now! 
 Has anyone made a DM only nostr client with similar UX to telegram/signal?

 Paid relays seem like the modern sub Reddit or discord server?

 Has anyone ever bought from one of those crypto ATMs? They look sketchy AF.

 Is there node software that the wallet/lightning channels can be governed by a signing device? 
 Sold my car today.  Price is dropping tonight. 

Sometimes the stars align 🤩 
 Am I the only one that has more followers on nostr than on twitter? 

TBH, that feels like good time preference 
 Well - technically it's not 300% more because dividing by 0 is challenging. 

But - you have just increased your follower count by 17% 🫡 
 Ya thats how I feel too

Though I will say, struggling through the UX of early tech sucks  
 Preserve your nsec, and think 100 times before entering it somewhere. 

It's literally your digital identity.

 I mean, sending notes is way more frequent than UTXOs
But some sort of signing device that allows me to prove I own the nsec is cool. 

The thing clients need though is access to post via npub. 
But granting a signing a timed authorization (say every 30 days or something) would be cool idea! 
 I like what you sew. 

I think some  @bitcoinwell users could use some custom merch 👀 
 npubs in UX have got to go

clients are also way too loose with NSECs

 The worst part about nostr is the npub
Why don't we normalize NIP05 sharing instead of npub sharing? 

It's so much easier! 
 Phones are too easy to steal and insecure. 

Having your phone associated to your npub would actually make them way safer. But npub would need to dictate sim, not the other way around. 
 I've been thinking a lot about his. 
TBH an account with password and cryptographic proof of ownership that is nuked if I don't periodically check in would be way better. 
 
 Why? 
 No that is way better than having to copy/segregate/paste from a post on external site

Brain clipboard >  
 LARP 
 This is really nice. Great UX 
 Ya let me be clear, npubs are super important. I just mean the sharing of npubs is pretty bunk 
 They're not supposed to mean anything. 
They're supposed to be an easy way to identify an npub 

Think payment address vs LNURL. 
I give my payment address out verbally and via post 100% of the time - never copy/paste LNURL 
 Feature, not a bug. 
As long as it relates back to the npub, it's good. 

It's meant for simplicity of sharing a profile. Nothing more. And it acts perfectly. 
 Next time you meet someone, please recite your npub and let me know how it goes. 
 Shockingly, the snake can likely put that frog away. They are marvellous creatures.  
 I just had the sickest proof of work/accountability app - needs a  nostr dev 

Anyone around here do that? 
 What is Nostr Reads? Is it like an X article? 

I feel so out of the loop 
 That sounds awesome! Meeting up at the Edmonton bitcoin events would be so much fun! Can’t wait... 
 Are you in Edmonton?

 I hope to meet her at the Edmonton bitcoin meetups and events! 
 Is an npub publicly associated with an LNURL?

Is there a decoder for this? 
 I want to receive npub and know payment address agnostic of client

 I just sent sats directly from my bank in Canada to my @primal payment address. Less than 1 second from “e-Transfer accepted” to “sats received”

Super excited to release this in the wild. Well done @bitcoinwell team! 🤩

 I should clarify. I sent dollars which were instantly converted to sats and sent to my primal payment address.

 I’m going to try and make share more stuff like this with videos

 Very sad to see @fiatjaf remove the payment address bridge. 

Are there other viable solutions to get a payment address pointed to my node?

 Looks like Scotiabank thought my stay at home wife was too scary to continue the banking relationship. 

It might have something to do with the fact that her husband runs a non custodial bitcoin company.

 Nostr is suffering from low time preference. 

Its core principles will help it thrive for generations… something the high time preference of legacy social media will not be around to see.
