Devs who keep telling users not to use Primal because “x, y, or z doesn’t work” the way they think it should are missing the point that Primal provides the easiest to onboard and most reliable user experience on nostr for users who don’t have time to tinker with stuff all day long. Your self-imposed purity tests of what a true nostr client/user should be are a waste of time and energy and will lead people to ignore you. You have to build things that normal everyday people will want to use, unless you are specifically building for a niche market/audience. I use a variety of nostr apps, including Primal. Each is good for different reasons, and Primal is good because it’s easy to set up, easy to use, looks beautiful, and for the most part every button and gesture does what you’d expect it to do.
It’s merely a convenience for users who want it and don’t mind. You can buy/acquire sats elsewhere and send them to your primal wallet. Or if you’re on Android you can even link any NWC-compatible wallet to your primal app instead of using the built in one.
Understanding is fine, but it’s a UX issue that app devs need to account for. Think of web browsers, if I copy a hyperlink from a webpage in chrome and paste it into the address bar in Firefox, or into another webpage that someone using Safari clicks, it loads the content the user is trying to access. Whatever good reasons there may be for different nostr event ID formats, it kills the user experience when moving between apps, and moving between apps is touted as Nostr’s superpower.
Some of the formats allow for embedding info such as which relay to use to find that event or user profile. I understand it’s useful, but it’s only as useful as its interoperability across apps.
I’m on iOS. Primal doesn’t support them. I think Damus added support a while back but not sure. Nostur supports them. All of the iOS apps give note1 IDs when you copy them to share.
If the last few elections have shown anything it’s the impact of people having access to information. The major network news outlets have taken a back seat to social media and podcasts. This trend needs to continue with decentralized tech such as nostr giving people access to more information, uncensored and uncontrollable by corporate and government interests.
💯 People also are hungry for answers and authenticity, and a podcast gives much more time to understand an issue and a person than a speech or news segment that’s been edited and cut/manipulated and only lasts a few minutes at best.
Life is not better if the government is always trying to kill you. Some bitcoiners disagree. Politics isn’t completely useless unless you have nothing and no one to live for.
Even if someone doesn’t think presidential or national level politics are worth engaging in, local politics absolutely are worth it and probably more immediately consequential to them and their families.
Lol reading and seeing some of the comments people make, I’m just like, “Do you hear yourself right? You’re doing exactly what you’re afraid the other side is going to do.” Lol
Not sure how much weight to really give a poll like that. Guns are also a universal technology, but if you posted a similar poll in a gun enthusiasts forum I imagine you’d have similar results.
My wife, who isn’t nearly as obsessed with Bitcoin as me, said: “Whoa, Bitcoin is way up! But now I can’t afford to get as much of it.”
She’s a keeper. 😂🧡
Nah she doesn’t have the time (or the interest really, lol) to learn what any of it is. She just trusts me on bitcoin and has watched it do what I told her it would do so she wants to get as much as possible of it. Lol
Vote or don’t vote as you like. That’s not my point. Politics is about a lot more than voting for President. All I’m saying is that advocating for bitcoin adoption and the obsolescence of central banking is about the most political thing you can involve yourself in because it affects the very way that governments fund themselves today. Don’t fool yourself into thinking support of bitcoin can be done apolitically.
The humor here is that steps he describes is simply what republicans did in 2020 after they questioned the accuracy of the voting numbers that ultimately resulted in them being accused of staging an “insurrection” 😂
It all depends on your sending wallet and their receiving wallet. If someone is using ZeusPay or Alby hub and their wallet is offline when you try to send, then you’ll have to wait until they open Zeus to claim it, or in the case of an offline Alby hub the payment will just fail. Other causes of failure could be poor outgoing liquidity/connectivity from your sending wallet, or on their receiving end. Also some wallet providers like ZBD block payments from IP addresses in certain regions because they’re not legally allowed to operate in those regions.
