Yeah, Commander and Pauper are the main formats places run these days


Or rather, it appears that the background service is busted.  It can't register as a background service.  Which would make sense why it has to be "active" for it to work.


nvm, it seems to be broken again...


#coffeechain What home espresso machines would you recommend?


I love that command line tool lol.  Just repeatedly typing `fuck` in the terminal


Where can I find more info about NIP-60.  Looks like it isn't merged in yet?


I actually think that Brave may have been the problem?  Brave's shields were up for nostr:npub1uf9gd9pax7534dy96mu603nqjlp9mht8az73ka0dy54rcfnvlxasumv8xc, I turned them off and it seems to work ok now?

Maybe I’m smooth-brained but how do you avoid using a browser?


if your nostr client doesn't support deletes, you can use this web application to delete your content: https://nostr-delete.vercel.app

you'll need to have a nostr web browser extension installed to proceed.  i like Alby or Nostr Connect.

there are two caveats with this tool.

1) this will only work for relays that support NIP-09 deletes. *most* relays do support deletion, but some may not.

2) caching services or applications that use them may hold onto your content until that cache expires.


*using Brave browser for what it's worth.


Having an issue with nostr:npub1uf9gd9pax7534dy96mu603nqjlp9mht8az73ka0dy54rcfnvlxasumv8xc, I'm using it and Nostrudel.  Nsec only seems to be able to "sign" Nostr events if I hard reload the page.  I've removed all application permissions and re-added Nostrudel.  Still no luck.  Unless there's an issue on Nostrudel?


Is the post menu the only location where you can set up zap splits?


Any #ai experts on #nostr wanna chime in?  How might I attach a running ollama instance to my Obsidian vault as a kind of copilot?


So in all actuality, what can we do?


While you were busy making fun of the UK for criminalizing free speech, the UN finalized its Cybercrime Convention which will overrule bank secrecy and criminalize hacking, whistleblowing, and security research.

The convention, which was finalized last friday, drastically expands government surveillance powers and enables the widespread sharing of personal data between UN member states.

The convention mandates the identification, tracing, confiscation and seizure of "proceeds of crime, property, equipment or other instrumentalities" and the collection of real-time traffic and content data on behalf of requesting member states.

It further mandates member states to establish criminal offences for "the concealment or disguise of the true nature, source, location, disposition, movement or ownership of or rights with respect to property" and  "the conversion or transfer of property [...] for the purpose of concealing or disguising the illicit origin of the property" when committed intentionally.

As the Electronic Frontier Foundation explains, the convention includes "documents saved on personal computers or notes stored on digital devices. In essence, this means that private unshared thoughts and information are no longer safe. Authorities can compel the preservation, production, or seizure of any electronic data, potentially turning personal devices into spy vectors regardless of whether the information has been communicated".

While the treaty defers most articles to the governance of local laws, it states that states "shall not decline to act [...] on the ground of bank secrecy".

The US just recommended a 30-year prison sentence for alleged Bitcoin Fog operator Roman Sterlingov.

Sterlingov's case became known as the case to "put cryptocurrency tracing on trial", as much of the evidence presented was collected using Chainalysis' blockchain analysis software Reactor – The prosecution "haven’t pointed to any smoking-gun digital evidence retrieved from Sterlingov’s possessions or devices", as WIRED reported following Sterlingov's arrest.

Chainalysis described Sterlingov's guilty verdict as setting precedent for "Chainalysis blockchain analytics being used by prosecutors as evidence when they take criminals to court", arguing that the verdict "affirms the ways in which our solutions have become the industry standard, made possible by our partners in government who use our tools everyday to fight illicit activity".

The only problem: experts believe that the government's got the wrong guy, and that the jury has convicted a user of Bitcoin Fog as its operator – arguing that Chainalysis' tools are "flawed" and "shouldn't be trusted to convict defendants when they face decades in prison".

2024 is the year of dangerous precedents in which not just your right to privacy is on the line, but the very question of how much science matters in a court of law when it comes to BTC.

GM #nostr #grownostr.

I genuinely hope each and every one of you has a great day today! ☀💜💛


Oh shit!  ☹ Feel bad for all the folks that just lost their jobs.


Question about this, so do you strictly do on chain (ie not Lightning) for this?  Been curious to see how folks have been handling lightning as a business.


Thanks!  That makes a lot of sense.

Seems like the norm is very data hungry or at least causes a lot of extra network requests?


GM! 💜


What is the difference between the “norm” and the outbox model?


There are some clients that show a "most popular in last 24hrs" or "trending", but otherwise it's only who you've actively followed.

Bitcoin features are optional, but encouraged.  Reactions are a dime a dozen, but posts that add real value will often have lots of "zaps".


#asknostr anyone have a good #vaporwave mix?  I need some background music for work


GM #nostr 💜

Have a fantastic day


Getting better at it!


Oh I see you responded to a previous post I had made. I’ll check it out.


#asknostr Is there a way to log out of nsec.app?  I seem to be having an issue.  Trying to test out some other desktop/web clients and not able to sign into them.


Which desktop/web client do you recommend then?


Question for anyone using #nostrudel, how do I change the default quick reactions?  I hit the customize button but don't seem to be able to change anything


F


No worries. Just heard about it the other day and it seemed related.


Where can I learn more about stables on ecash?


Have you checked out https://radicle.xyz/ ?


I have fond memories of thinking I knew what I was doing and bricking a phone trying to install Cyanogenmod


That’s what I assumed too, but was just unsure if there were some existing business tools for it.

I wonder if nostr:npub155m2k8ml8sqn8w4dhh689vdv0t2twa8dgvkpnzfggxf4wfughjsq2cdcvg has anything?


What is a Runes transaction?


So, #asknostr how the heck would a business operate on lightning?  Specifically with regard to taxes?  Like genuinely how would you report gains/losses?  Do you only do it when you settle up on chain?


What’s everyone’s #nostr client of choice?  On mobile, I’ve enjoyed Primal but on desktop I’ve been using Nostrudel.  #grownostr


Oh, I didn't realize there was a music feed event.  It pops up in nostrudel, but doesn't open.  What client(s) support it?


Are there some notes/vids you could link me to so I can better understand what's going on with Cashu wallets?  Can you use a cashu wallet for zapping notes?


yeah!


What are the benefits of using a cashu wallet, something I see frequently discussed here, and the one built into primal, for example?

Can the cashu wallets be used for the tipping functionality?


Definitely not real, but still hilarious.

Still find it slightly confusing on the UX front. It’s still not as smooth as other social apps, but it’s certainly better than it was a year ago.

There’s so much technical complexity going on under the hood.


Good afternoon!  Have a great day today ☀⚡💛


Can we still buy it? Lol


I need to start posting more. Gotta start earning those sats somehow


nostr is still mainly used alongside twitter. in the best rare case, as a replacement. and only because people are running away from something about twitter they don't like.

there is nothing that people want to run to nostr for yet. zaps were promising, but bitcoin is still a hurdle (one that primal is doing the best at overcoming), and it's doubtful lightning could scale to a massive adoption moment.

nostr needs a feature or experience that's unique and sets it apart. i *think* that is the ecosystem of microapps over the long term...but it's definitely not in the short term. and that might be ok.

for twitter the initial draw was the simplicity and weirdness of 140 characters (we started with zero network effect, facebook had it all...that's built over time). later it became the conversation which lead to the "public square" (owned by a private corporation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). and then as it grew, it had a single point of control/failure people could attack.

nostr doesn't have to worry about that last bit. it's an incredible feature. but not one the average person cares about (no matter how much they yell "FREE SPEECH!"...if people actually cared about free speech, bitcoin and nostr would be all they used...they don't).

all this to say, we're not doomed. but what we think is the killer feature isn't right now. who's going to discover the one that is?

There’s a couple of ways to go back to the old one


What is everyone’s preferred method to buy #bitcoin?


What are your biggest concerns at the moment?


Not to spoil the fun, but what happens if Wall Street and the like two custodians they use slurp up all the coins?  How do we prevent Bitcoin from having the same fate as gold?


For folks that are running their own #lightning #node, do you run it at home or do you run it with a hosting provider?

What hardware or providers would you recommend?

If running it at home, how do you prevent channels from being closed in the event of a power or network outage?


+1 for proton


Ok I was like “hold up” lol. I have a vpn I use from protonmail. Mainly use it for sketchy WiFi


Do you just leave it running all the time?

I would. It is interesting to think about why solana does have an equivalent concept.

You could also filter out posts or only follow certain relays if you didn’t want to see that content.


Man that’s unfortunate. That game is a ton of fun.  o7 helldiver


How do I do that?


Gaming content?  Tech news and reviews?


The price or the style? Or both? Lol


So question about the #halving,

With the mining rewards being cut in half relatively soonish, how do the large scale (or even individual) miners stay profitable?

The price of BTC would have to double in order for the miners to maintain their current cash flow, right?


I don’t remember it, but I did actually!

What widget provides that info on the lock screen?


Might use GPT to help with wording of specific sentences, but otherwise toughing it out.


Kinda sounds like sats streaming in fountain, but for songs instead. I like it.

I think the challenge would be getting the quantity and quality of content into the catalog to warrant use.


I don’t think the people voted for it no. They ran this idea and asked for public opinion a few years ago.  90% disagreed.


What better thing to do when sick than rewatch #lotr


I love this lol


So, I know on one of the clients you can set up splits.  Does that share a percentage of all zaps you receive? #nostr


It feels electric ⚡lol


Ever wondered why opening loot boxes in video games had these elaborate over the top animations with lots of bright colors and effects?  It's for the same reason.  It's designed to trigger dopamine release in the brain.  Keeps ya hooked


oh shit, my first zap!  Thank you so much!


Just found out this morning by using nostrudel on my desktop that I had set an invalid LNURL as my address in primal.  whoops


Found out this morning that primal let me set an invalid LNURL as my lightning address on my profile.  Hopefully no one tried to Zap me!

#nostrnoob


Thanks for sharing.  I'll have to check it out


Thanks!


Welcome! 💜🧡


Welcome!


Never mind I thought it was the same as npub.cash


Does that only work for receiving or you can send too?


Damn.  So, if I wanted to use that as my receive I can, but for zapping I'd have to use something else like the build in one?


✨ Multinuteral payments – Pay a single Lightning invoice from Ecash balances on multiple Cashu mints.

We use Lightning multi-path payments (MPP) to achieve atomicity.

This has wild implications for UX and privacy and is a significant breakthrough for Cashu.

Most Cashu wallets have multiple small ecash balances across mints to minimize the custodial risk.

Paying a large LN invoice, however, was a pain. Amounts larger than any of your ecash balances required a multi-mint swap first (swap ecash across mints via LN).

Not anymore!

Instead of one big LN payment, wallets could send multiple small ones from a dozen different mints all running their own LN node.

Either all payments succeed, or all fail. The mints don't communicate with each other. Receiver doesn't notice anything.

Imagine the beauty of this.

This eliminates the need for inter-mint coin control almost entirely. Wallets could show the user one unified balance across all mints and handle it all hidden away from the user.

You simply scan an invoice and an orchestra of Ecash mints and Lightning nodes begin their play.

This is yet another cool example of how ecash can significantly improve the safety and security of custodial Lightning wallets.

The deep integration of Cashu with Lightning makes this possible. And we have more ideas.

https://m.primal.net/HiqI.mp4


Can you use npub.cash as the wallet provider in primal?


Alright, so is it possible to use the npub cash wallet as my wallet provider in a nostr desktop client?  And what about ion iOS?


Reposting to save and watch later

nostr:note19q27e6fd87r7u64mw8kg4d6pze7l8dug4c5yug3ktz53w6ha80gqeqkf2l


Warning: if you have a mint running on the LNbits demo server, close it down. They just announced that they are going to rug all mints running on that server by end of March.

Run your own infrastructure!


Does using npubcash provide the mint in this setup?  I’m not running my own lightning node just yet

Introducing 🌀Vortex - The fastest way to use bitcoin on macOS

Vortex is Raycast extension that uses Nostr Wallet Connect to let you control your lightning wallet with unprecedented speed — send and receive bitcoin with a keyboard shortcut.

Get Vortex here: https://www.raycast.com/saunter/vortex

Just set any keyboard shortcut to send, receive, view recent transactions or see wallet balance. Access you wallet functions anytime and anywhere in your macOS.

You can currently use Vortex with  nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm,  nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg,  nostr:npub1aghreq2dpz3h3799hrawev5gf5zc2kt4ch9ykhp9utt0jd3gdu2qtlmhct and  nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll. Create #NWC pairing string and paste it during Vortex setup to connect your wallet to the extension.

I am not a developer, but my dev friends from Alby are always preaching how easy it is to integrate bitcoin with apps with NWC. So I decided to test it and built this extension with GPT with 0 knowledge of typescript or js. It took me one weekend to do this and now this is my favourite lightning wallet interface. Even though I can't code! If I can integrate bitcoin into an app, so can you!

Find out more about how to integrate bitcoin into your app at www.nwc.dev

Vortex is MIT licensed and open to contributions https://github.com/getAlby/Vortex

LET YOUR SATS SWIRL🌀


I feel like a boomer, but is there no way to view posts you liked?  I’m trying to go back and find something.

Otherwise good update. So much smoother than it was 6 months ago


How do I search posts that I liked instead of zapping? #nostr


Yeahhhhhh. I had a heat sink on mine and a fan it always was lava hot


Down days are the best days to #stack!


Yeah!  Some days I miss driving stick, but most of the time I don’t. Might get one again some day


Waking up to an all time high!  What a way to start a Monday!  Gm #nostr


I’d try it


Recommend an account to get a summary of ongoing efforts?  It feels much more lively than last year


Farming for shitcoin airdrops and swapping for BTC is pretty lucrative during a bull run


It’s a subsidiary of block, which does have it on their balance sheet


I feel called out lol


Is that talk posted on YouTube yet?


So, what’s the latest tech/updates on scaling #bitcoin, is it still #lightning primarily?


Stupid question, why do I see a different set of posts on primal in web browser versus on the TestFlight app?  #nostr  #nostrnoob


DNS-based ad-blocking (eg PiHole) makes it a little better.  Can't do anything about the cookie popups though 😟


I’d never heard of this before. Neat
