We should not push or support technologies or schemes that have surveillance support baked in. We have an opportunity to start again, let's not make the same mistakes again.

No one should be able to block a transaction, no arbitrary prejudice should set a ranking on people, and so we shouldn't support this type of innovation, even if it is inevitable that some people will want it and even pay for it.

A technology built on bitcoin and building on the brand of bitcoin but building out as a monument to compromise is not a good thing. Even if in the short term it may pump some bags.

Interesting clarification in one response:

Clarified by:

Technically a secret cannot be verified 🤷🏻


I sent them an email but I'm sure no one really likes to hear that they have competition when they're building a free open source project.

I basically told them that we should find a way to work together but didn't really give them any contact details because... Who's the CEO of #TheNostr ?

They seem to have invested a fair bit in their tech and maybe they'll be successful having an influencer (Luis Rossman) backing it and now an app in the app store being advertised. 🤷🏻


Not sure if it's a precursor, but this came across my radar: https://gitlab.futo.org/videostreaming/grayjay

Based on polycentric https://youtu.be/xYL96hb_p78?feature=shared

The system looks A LOT like nostr, but it seems to be developed internally as opposed to nostr that's developed in the open by any and everyone.

I may be wrong about that though, I may just be in the nostr bubble and not in the polycentric community (although I didn't find any polycentric community).


Wow, that's a bit late ennit?


TIL warrant canaries ... So you can't be compelled by the FBI or whoever to LEAVE the file in place and/or LIE?


If I watch a video via Amethyst, then my IP is remembered so I can watch it from a web browser if eg. There was a bug in the client?

Literally this video stopped half way on my client and I had to load it on the browser to see the full video.

Second question, does this mean all people in my home network are now permitted to see the video? If I visit via VPN, all people using the same exit node can access this video?

Thanks in advance. This project is super cool. 🔥


Sending money to people in need without politicians being able to stop me is fucking awesome.


🥲 I'm happy now.

What to watch next...


Wait wait... Where did you find it?? Where is it out?


I'm sure I saw this video before but I don't remember that last bit... Hits differently now. 😆


Long form posts should always be drafted offline first.

Even Twitter has this problem when creating threads.


> Lots of BTC people realising LN can't scale bitcoin.

No, lots of us are maybe learning that Lightning development is hard and isn't a super bullet, but devs have said this from the beginning.

Shitcoiners just got up people's arses and got them to say stupid things like "lightning solved bitcoin scaling" and it echoed. Lightning hasn't solved scaling... Yet. Development is hard, making choices is harder still, but we know what TYPE of upgrades can help us scale, so I'm not worried about the future of lightning.

> LN Devs are retiring.

No. A specific developer has announced that he was going to stop working on lightning and focus on on chain development. He did mention a vulnerability within the same sort of time which is a shame because I spoke to him after and although it read like that, the two things are unrelated.

> BTC is going to have to fork...

Maybe, but not any time soon. In fact there will be a literal fork in the future in order to fix a time bug, but Devs aren't trying to fix that right now because we have time and don't need to rock the boat just yet.

> Either way it invalidates the 6 year waste of time they spent all their energy on.

Eat a donkey dick. Sounds like someone is holding shitcoins like bcash and bsv and hoping to convince people based on anecdotal evidence to pump his bags. If he gave a crap about the development of bitcoin, he'd be on the ground and would understand the nuances instead of being in the sky pointing fingers as if he knew what shit looked like.


Fuck yeah!


⚠⚠⚠ CENSORSHIP!!!! 🔔🔔🔔🔔

😆😆 just kidding 😆😆


You could have reported the post he shared as spam. It was the least destructive way to get it off your feed.


Maybe worth having a limit with an indicator that allows to continue loading after some length of nested posts. 🤔


Why did you put this on my feed!!! 😡

I had to mark it as spam just to get it hidden. I think this was the least intrusive way to do it. Blocking the user was too much.


too many nested posts breaks nostr


Is this a Japanese cultural thing? Why are they parading around a massive fish at a conference? I thought this was a restaurant at first.

I just don't get how this guy can go from old to young and back so quickly and so often.

Like surely my brain would understand that it's the same person, especially after a couple of viewings.

The only logical explanation is that this guy can age and deage instantly at will.

Happy Bitcoin white paper day!

Gm


Why?


There are a lot of attack vectors in the lightning network. There are a lot of attack vectors in any and all software. Shit there are attack vectors in all distributions of Linux!

There will be patches and solutions, and there will be more bugs and vulnerabilities.

The good news is this: Lightning is a massive peer to peer network which means that an attack on Lightning will have limited effect as the network grows.

Imagine destroying a bridge or a path in the road. Now imagine a living breathing road which can just reform itself around the wreckage.

That's lightning. More specifically, it is a network built by, run by and supported by people. The same people will fix potholes, repair bridges and learn from structural mistakes as they find them.

Why I'm being vague? The 24hr issue you're talking about can already be avoided by building nodes in the network that enforce lower timeouts or that increase fees. The main reason it isn't a solved issue right now is: 1. It isn't completely breaking the network, so it's not a massive problem,  2. There are many solutions, picking the best one takes time, especially when there are short term workarounds already.


So is Barry 💀

This is a strange one... Normally you're given nothing. But here you're being told to talk to police? And specifically Israeli police... My wonder is... Is this person Israeli or is this related to the war on misinformation?

I don't know if I believe this post or not tbh. Feels off.


You don't want to find yourself suddenly at the whim of a few elite class who decide your bitcoin is one of 42M bitcoin just because you thought your wallet provider was going to have the same idea about what bitcoin is as you forever.

Run a node, don't let anyone speak for you.


I think I may actually be wrong, I think some validation does happen on the phone, and the lightning routing and preimage management happens on the phone too. Similar to Phoenix Wallet.

Breez I believe is a full node, same as Zeus. This is why they are quite slow to start up.

Mutiny offloads some of its complex networking responsibilities that it cannot do within a browser and some computationally expensive tasks, but it seems to do what matters on device, so it's as good as having a node on the phone.

nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg where do we draw the line? Does mutiny run a node on the phone?

(it doesn't 😬)


Yeah, it was shit. So many people were praising it in the comments but it felt like such a great opportunity to drum in the not your keys message and instead gave nothing   to the viewer.


I love this answer, I guess there are multiple right answers, from self routing, to using trampoline channels, and lnproxy servers (am I wrong about this one?).

The mind blowing realisation that as a consumer, you could utilise "banking" to handle complexities of lightning liquidity management but still take control of routing in the future, and therefore your privacy. 🤯


Yes exactly.


Probably the most powerful way to discover content is to follow hashtags.

I followed a bunch of people way back when and every so often I follow people who reply to those people and unfollow those who fill my feed with noise.

You could just copy someone else's follows maybe?


His X profile:

> Help me expose the propagandists by subscribing to my X Premium for $3 ☦ Most VIRAL account on X  thedivewithjackson@gmail.com

So now Elon has convinced people to market on his behalf by handing out censorship?


I would love it if someone made a sign like this and then someone stole their funds in front of them like this: https://youtu.be/lc7scxvKQOo


Something is bugging me.

Over lightning, sender privacy is good.
Over lightning, receiver privacy is bad.
Over ecash, receiver privacy is good.
Over ecash, sender privacy has a middleman.

Of course the mint doesn't know who you are, or what your source of income is, but they may know the target payee... Doesn't this open the door to potential censorship? A mint may refuse to perform the payment.

Also, seeing that the original tokens remain valid upon a payment failure, those tokens can just become blocklisted (breaking fungibility).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems as if cashu improves receiver privacy, but can compromise sender privacy/targetability unless a proxy is used when making payments.

Upon further inspection, it isn't that the cat overlaps the time, it's that the time tints the background and the ears are too dark to get effected enough.

Still cool.


iPhone? That is pretty cool.


How did you get the cat's ear to overlap the time?


Thanks for playing with me. 🖖


Did you SEEEEE THAT?!?! 🤯🍻


I wanna play with someone https://connect4.xyz/hKjeRP


Are you in Greece? 👀


#asknostr does something like this exist?


We need a tool that can evaluate our relays, our follows and suggest a good new set of relays for our content.

This can also include paid relays too but only if they are relevant.


I think min amount is problematic. We're still very early and sending tiny sats is common still.

On the other hand, it's kind of a spam filter 🤔


Does this affect the UK? I think this is for EU and we now make our own Draconian laws.


This could be a happy story, a sad story, it a non event depending on what specifically pilled the merchant.

If it is about privacy and freedom and there was an encouragement to study before buying, this was a happy moment.

If it's about retirement and inflation free savings, it could be a non event, or of the long term thinking isn't there yet, it would be a sad story.


I'd say no, OP refers to the person that posted, nostr refers to the note or the protocol as a whole.

OP is fine here too IMO.


I always found them more trouble than good.

They either did stuff without my permission and removed files I wanted, or they just churned my computer to a halt even when it was supposed to be idle.

They also had stupid popups that felt like malware themselves and I saw too many people fall for popups on websites designed to look like antivirus software and end up installing malware on their own computers.

I since realised I can look after my computer and it's data better than the antivirus.


Who still uses antivirus these days? 😬


1. Bitcoin meetups, the bar we go to accepts bitcoin.

2. Phoenix wallet, it's fast and simple

3. I do, I want only the best. If you want a lightning address, I'd recommend Zeus, it's also self custodial but the app is slow to start, making it not so great for on the move spending. The lightning address (which we use to accept zaps) is the only benefit to a custodial wallet imo, and nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 is bringing it to non-custodial wallets now.

I do use a custodial wallet for zaps today, but I do keep an eye out for non-custodial solutions always.


Do I have an account with you?


It would have to be backed by something else because it can't itself back cash... Can it?


No, my point wasn't that it only happened one time,  it's that it happened and we were fine.


Erm.. that shit already died. Maybe it will catch on again for a bit, we dealt with it already before.


It'll do that. But this is just the first step. Give him hope, let him know that the solution isn't that hard, it's all about taking responsibility for your own shit and it can be a progressive journey.


Not available in the UK 😒


Whatever ALL* the clients are doing.


In open protocols, simple means whatever everyone else is doing. It's gonna be whatever a client has support for, not a step or two that the user has to do.

Let's hear the idea though👂

I'm sure it can be integrated into clients as a one click (or 0 tap) feature.


Shit. The robots have come for us!!! 🤯


Who tf leaves that much bitcoin on an exchange?!


Can you stop shouting please? I'm trying get to sleep.
https://media.tenor.com/TMs7zfSW_xkAAAAM/1111.gif


No worries, sometimes we have to dig deep but then we need to come back to the surface.

Of course your own web server isn't perfect, but for the purposes of attack, it is another layer of protection.

It is unlikely that a hacker who manages to find your leaked key or who leaks your key can/will also hack your webserver. Nor will they be the DNS provider or your ISP etc.

There is no such thing as perfect security, just a better one. A big part of it is not making yourself a target.


Can it be made to work with Amber? https://github.com/greenart7c3/Amber


My point being btw that not everyone can do passwords, but they get by anyway and some have security teams for their company or use services to protect their security for them.

This is still 100000x better than 1 central authority.


Breaches will happen, but I'm optimistic that people will just learn how to manage keys the same way as they learned to manage passwords.

Fortunately some keys are not as sensitive as others. Your or my nostr key is meh, Taylor Swift's key is less meh and bitcoin keys are 👀.

People will work it out and each new "type" of person will make the tools they need for themselves until it just becomes second nature.


No, not necessarily. You own the website (ideally) or the account that provides your nostr address and points to your nostr account.

You can invalidate it and point it to another account if your key is compromised, but you may still need to run a marketing campaign to get people to realise that your account was compromised... Damage control.


No. There are people thinking of key rotation based solutions but they need to be researched and tested and integrated into clients.

Alternatively there are tools that help you keep your private key secure like NsecBunker.

To be sovereign is to be responsible. Be responsible for your own keys and you'll get freedom for it. 👍


Afaik, I think the price pumped then too, but people were expecting both futures and spot and when futures (the more risky one) got approved and spot didn't, that was weird.

Futures have the higher risk of depegging which leads to problems like gbtc had.

Spot is less risky and so people will use that over futures. People are excited about that.

Also, so many people are excited and shouting about it, many traders will trade to profit from it. It's a self fulfilling prophecy. Maybe no one gives a shit about the ETF, but a bunch of traders will push the price up and use it as proof that it must be happening 😁.


I'm glad nostr isn't above this type of content. 🥰

1 BTC = 1 BTC, but also I'm happy that I will have a wider savings net to fall back on when times get tougher ahead.


I don't think that's true, you could argue that if there wasn't a pending etf the price would already be 100k so in that regard, etf and shit don't make bitcoin valuable.

But this pump is clearly fueled by news. People suppress the price, people pump the price.

At the end of the day, just like running your own node means you know what's real and what's not, being your own self means you know what your bitcoin is worth.


I was thinking a solution might be to pass on the terror.

Effectively if you detect that you're getting fucked by this attack, fuck the other channel partner in return.

Kind of dickish since it just travels all the way back to the sender, I haven't really thought that hard about it but could that work?


My company bought it for me, so no. But also it doesn't make me code 55% faster, but it's fun adding a comment for something I want to happen and see it get close for me.

I just don't see an opportunity to use it all the time.

I have a channel id with the following reason:

Channel closed because of an exception: Peer's feerate much too high. Actual: 10979. Our expected upper limit: 6250

Where can I see the tx id to see what happened? Fees vs outputs etc.

It was the Hindus.


sorry* yewillcom


This is the killer feature. Wow. Amazing.


Do you have any resources where I can read about the underlying tech?

My understanding was that it's a lightning network based on bitcoin, but with AI based channel management.

There was some "magic" as far as I could tell which is where I thought the problems would be, but nothing about shitcoins afaik.


Tell me more... I thought lightspark was a bitcoin tech?


How well 👀 I've noticed wallets in the past tend to have shaky support.

I think even phoenix wallet can be used to buy, but not so much to sell with.


Yes, but most people should expect a cooperative close and the distinction here is that there is a difference here between taproot channels and traditional segwit ones.

Segwit will reveal the 2of2 quorum when cooperatively closing the channel.


I'm great.


If you understood the costs involved, you wouldn't say this and if you do, you're looking for a too good to be true setup ... Like looking for a perpetual motion device, good luck with that.


If you go about criticising in an absolute manner, then yes.


Fuck what people call you. Typescript is useful.


If it ain't broke, why try to fix it?


I wouldn't count on it being like that forever.

Popular apps will need to segregate content and keep nsfw content away by default.

Properly labelling content as and when ways of doing so become common is a way to ensure you reach the audience you want without reaching those that will punish the apps you rely on.

But that said, a nsfw focused app is probably a good idea. You don't need to change anything other than what client you recommend, but you publish the same way as before.


You'd have to put up an XNO address or whatever to receive anything, just like you have to put up a lightning address.

A small but not insignificant hurdle.


Allegedly.


I mean, it says it right on the site...

Some "GIFs" are video files.


Because it prevents Peter Todd from getting fucked by Craig's lawsuit 😁


To be very clear, are we talking remote compromises or are they all "physical access required" hacks?


So the intel enclave is a pOs?


Good question, I'd avoid pressing that button because I imagine it will send out a deletion request for your profile and posts.

If that's the case and you don't run your own nostr relay or if your relay might delete your posts if it gets that request, then you might lose your profile and posts.


Surely this is more about other people's content, not your own?


If cashu is supposed to be a custodial system, but it's also supposed to be private, how could it ever have a custodial convenient feature like lnaddress?

The best I can think of is to try and separate the receiver from the lnaddress conceptually. If a mint receives payment to a lnaddress it owns, it published an open statement encrypted with a private key registered to the lnaddress with the mint.

Whoever owns the lnaddress can decrypt it and claim it with a random id within the mints encrypted announcement.

The mint knows how much an address receives, and how many addresses it has, but a user can have many addresses, and if there was a cryptographically safe way to have multiple people pull from the same address, that would be mind blowing.

Maybe users can transfer ownership of private keys without informing the mint like with statechains or something similar?

Have you thought about ln address nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg?


https://acinq.co/blog/phoenix-splicing-update not what is happening. Splicing is the technology employed here and it improves scaling.

There is a cost to opening channels: you need inbound and outbound sats per channel, but with splicing, you can simply add or remove liquidity from a channel without closing the channel or opening a new one.

This means capital is allocated more efficiently. If you have 5 channels to the same peer, that's an inefficiency.

It's still important to predict inbound usage in order to set aside the right amount of money for the user to receive sats and only when that prediction was wrong will you incur an onchain transaction.

Too big, you are locking up too much capital with your customers and being ineffective. Too little, you are not effectively scaling off-chain.

Phoenix used to charge for opening a channel, they'd charge the on chain transactions fee, and a fee for inbound liquidity.

Now they changed their model so that opening a channel is at cost and instead they apply their fees at the transaction level which is why it seems more expensive.

Here's a blog about this change:


Does tether believe that they are an interim solution or a long term solution?

If interim, do they promote self sovereignity (you can't really be sovereign on a promise token, but you could practice sovereign security and then transition to bitcoin)

What do they think about bitcoin and do they let their customers know about it?

The pump has nothing to do with Bitcoiners. We don't give a fud about ETFs and we sure as shit don't trade it in real time 😅.


Gold, silver or even shells can be a good medium of local exchange in the cases where bitcoin becomes inconvenient.

Alternatively, a bitcoin backed note could suffice as long as the issuer is trustworthy. This is possible in local contexts, but not at scale in the global context.


Hey nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424, I was checking out your website the other day. Very nice by the way! I noticed you have a zap button on your page and it is tied into nostr via JavaScript. I don’t think you have ever posted about it.

How do you install it and how well does it work? Thanks! Cheers!

Or if anyone else wants to comment, feel free.

I am looking for v4v methods on websites.

Fair enough, but he does compare it to other brands and honestly I think his tests have merit to them, it just applies a whole year and a half worth of accidental damage in one day.

If they're into sports, tell 'em that bitcoin fixes this. https://youtu.be/czNTQjMwV6I?feature=shared


Drivechain IS a blockchain that it tethered to the Bitcoin blockchain.

In this way, we call it a side chain as it runs alongside bitcoin and progresses as bitcoin progresses.

The details on how it tethers to bitcoin is where it gets all complicated, it involves sending coins to a provably locked address in order for a side chain to inherit those units and miner cooperation for coins to get unlocked in the future.


No, I was studying bitcoin.


Seems like an already lost battle. No one uses SMS anymore anyway and whatever RCS solution there is out there is probably not as private as we need or want.


Talk to your normies from time to time. It's easy to get lost in the rabbit hole that is bitcoin, politics and world atrocities.

It helps to remember that we're just humans and everyone has their own priorities and sometimes it really doesn't make sense for them to jump into your rabbit hole just yet.

The typical normie isn't smash buying bitcoin because they aren't feeling as affected by inflation, war crimes and theft as much as they are by more immediate problems in their situation.

Listen to them, and they may even start to listen to you. 👂

Nosotros.app is a web-based client, the goal is to provide a great experience on mobile (PWA) and to be "almost" on pair with the native clients, but will work great on desktop too.

Nosotros doesn't need permission from anyone (not even from google or apple)

For now the client still readonly, but feel free to enter your npub and check your feed.

All feedback is appreciated (especially from nostr:npub10000003zmk89narqpczy4ff6rnuht2wu05na7kpnh3mak7z2tqzsv8vwqk and nostr:npub1r0rs5q2gk0e3dk3nlc7gnu378ec6cnlenqp8a3cjhyzu6f8k5sgs4sq9ac) and don't forget to add the page to your iOS/Android homescreen.

In the future, bitcoiners will be wealthier than we were, but we will also have more bills. We will need to pay to stay private, and to support our loved ones.

The continuous fight for privacy will drive bitcoin adoption as privacy tech becomes accessible to bitcoiners and people start to understand the need for privacy.

People will realise that we've reached the point of no return, where there's nothing we can do about it but to opt out completely and that may even happen with cbdcs where the lives of friends of friends are destroyed as warning shots.

Privacy tech costs will also fund miners.

That's my random shower thought.


I remember learning how to think critically at school... it involved using officially credible sources 🙃


Want... I think.


Step 1: improve your fingers.


Found it. https://www.fca.org.uk/news/press-releases/fca-introduces-tough-new-rules-marketing-cryptoassets

They're pulling out because on top of warnings, they have to also give people a cooling off period to let the marketing wane.

Good. Sounds like it's the traders and fomoers that are most affected.

I think Danny from @coincorner talked about this on their podcast once.


Just got a couple of emails about new regulations in the UK that apparently has made some exchanges want to pull out...

What's the new rules? Revolut said it's just about giving warnings when buying bitcoin (crypto). 👀


Malicious trolls and faster bots incoming too 👀

Harry I'm very touched by that, after you leave I'm gonna go into my desktop and rename a file after you too. 🤣🤣🤣


I think so too. Not a mention of bitcoin or nostr anywhere... I had to pinch myself to see if it was real.

There seems to be some discourse somewhere about a gossip protocol 2.0 for the lightning network that untethers the link from utxo to lightning channels.

Check out this clip:  https://fountain.fm/clip/KGLO6HwrB6Ymj7RjR7df

Where can I read, learn, hear more about this?

I know it's not a solidified idea, I just want to see what ideas are floating around.


That's not the definition of a walled garden. It's just a mental hurdle.


Wonky like a 3 legged donkey.


Man, I can't believe they called it that. If it flops, it is gonna flop HARD!

"You heard about that new bitcoin wallet that failed? What was it called... oh! The wonky wallet!" 😅😂🤣

Where can I read more about lightning gossip 2.0? That was very interesting but they didn't get into it enough in the podcast.


Most people are unreceptive to hearing that they are being surveilled. The typical response is "well I'm not affected, so I must be okay".

The reason is that mass surveillance is not a secret. We know it exists, we know roughly why it supposedly has to exist and we have experience of how little it affects our ability to do what we do today.

But flip the narrative for a second. Imagine there is no mass surveillance, everyone just lives their normal lives and there aren't cameras everywhere, we don't give away all of our spending habits, our location, and our internet activity everyday, and our emails and text messages aren't being scanned in real time, looking for anyone talking about or even encouraging political discourse beyond what is already on TV.

Wouldn't it feel weird that there were suddenly cameras everywhere? That when you pay for a snack at a local shop, that you're recording your name, location and type of item bought? (I found out that if you buy a lottery ticket, it's standard to add a "gambling" flag to your transaction (as well as other flags for other things). They may not know you bought the state of the art dildo, but they do know you bought an adult product)

Maybe no one is looking at all that data, but they're collecting it. Like if someone had a file on everything about you and they know more about you than you do.

All of this in the name of keeping us safe from crime, but doesn't crime happen anyway? Aren't so many crimes unpunished? And why couldn't they find my laptop that got stolen?

Your intuition is not wrong. Surveillance doesn't work most of the time, yet we keep pushing for more. Why is that?

Surveillance is a great tool for making money. Advertisers have known and used this forever. Taxmen have known this forever too.

Not only that, but it allows for censorship. Frontrun a negative fact that people are starting to understand and people will censor them for you. Penalise people for speaking out and people will censor themselves for you.

I'm sure I was gonna end this post well, but I am tired, hopefully this is useful. I just wanted to write this out.

Bloody crap news.

My ESTA was unexpectedly rejected to the states.

The airline won’t check me in and the USA certainly won’t let me in ⛔

I’m stuck in Lima, Peru 🇵🇪

I’m devastated. I can no longer speak at Pacific Bitcoin.

I’m now struggling to find a way home to Europe as most layovers pass through the States 🇺🇸

I’m really sorry to let everyone down, particularly Cory, P, Stephen and the Swan team.

I was really looking forward to Pacific and just soaking up the LA bitcoin vibe.

At some point over the past month, my ESTA status changed and I wasn’t notified. I checked it before flying to Peru in early September.

I keep a copy of my esta on my phone and didn’t think to log in to the esta dashboard before flying to the states for the third time this year.

Ive searched and the rejection is undoubtedly because of me being in Cuba for the bitcoin documentary I shot there.

Im surprised as @RunwithBitcoin flew to the states successfully yesterday and he was in Cuba as well.

Either way, gotta learn from this and move on.

Next steps.
- work out how to get home.
- find some work to cover the $3k expense of this monumental kerfuffle.
- book an appointment with the British embassy to explain that I am in fact not a Cuban collaborator for a new visa.
- be less of a moron.

I’m really sorry. Hope you’re having a better day than me.

And to those going to Pacific, please send it 🧡

Governments be trying to find terrorists and child rapists by tearing down our privacy rights, while the rest of us are just tryin' to not get our accounts hacked, money tooken all while trying to survive on low class salaries.

It wasn't twitter that fucked him, it was the fact that SMS verification is lauded as secure and supported by regulation, plus the fact that regulators incentivise people to ID check and surveil people using that same telephone number and takes no preventative measures with the heavy hammers they weild.

We think our governments have our backs, but they manipulate and tease us in order to get whatever they want and care not about the consequences we face.

Btw, I've always dismissed this as a "early in development" thing, but #Amethyst is pretty mature now and always getting bug fixes.

This one has been here for as long as I remember: whenever I watch a video full screen:

1. There's always a misalignment so you see the previous page in the background. (See image)

2. It launches a second video player, so it typically starts the video again, and when you close it, the same video on the previous page continues from where it was paused from.

I reckon number 2 is already known, but hard to address, but just in case, for number 1, I am running stock android on a pixel 6.

They ran a report while my father was on the phone to diagnose the issue and the issue was (of course 😂) too many devices connected. They started listing the devices connected and I snapped.

1. They can control the device remotely!? Maybe they can only pull a report, but that's already too much. Worst case, they can access the local network.

2. They're dumb. They don't try to diagnose the issue, they just find a way to make it your fault. At one point we had a "senior engineer" come in, reset the router and when things started connecting, he said "done". Then I changed the WiFi name and password and we started getting intermittent issues again. His answer: "it's because you renamed the WiFi, we don't support that, don't do it" 🤯

Still pissed it seems, even though this is was at least a year ago 😂


I changed my router the moment I learned that your ISP (or at least Sky) can scan your local network and pull a list of connected devices from their high tower.

You're not trusting relays with regards to event timestamps

You're trusting the pubkey. This has always been the case.

Relays are curation, not authorities

The only authorities in nostr are the pubkeys and their signatures.

Each pubkey is the only authority over its own events.

3. You realise that since you gave your phone number and other personal info, you're actually banned, you can't just create another account.

4. Observe banned scammers come back time and time again.

You have now witnessed how KYC and online identification affect only the innocent and not the scammers and criminals.

5. Learn how to get around this (maybe get a new number, maybe a fake passport)

6. You're basically now a wannabe criminal without ever doing anything illegal. But on the other hand, you've empowered yourself to be yourself.

I saw a similar question somewhere and it was to do with functionality on nostr relays.

I think only certain relays support features like fuzzy searching, so to provide a minimum feature set, certain relays are kind of mandatory.

I do wish this was more obvious though, like the inability to remove those relays with more information buttons and a notification when new relays are added for you.

#Amethyst with #Amber on android is great for taking control of your client. But you have to be patient and read everything it wants to sign before approving.

Interesting, but this is where keet also suffers. Without backups of the whole thing, edge case events make the whole thing feel clunky.

#Amethyst is now integrated with #Amber to provide nostr login without storing keys in app.

If I'm not mistaken, this uses uri schemes to communicate, so just putting this on the radar... would be awesome for websites to also allow logging in and permitting actions via Amber!


I think it's a bit too early for this. But I may be wrong. Not sure there are many people that are meaningfully using different nostr clients.

Also being asked to install 3 apps to set up one app correctly might be overload.

Is... is this AI?


I know a bitcoin company that does basically the opposite... because fiat is a necessary evil but if your business has the wrong name or the wrong partners, then you need to find alternative ways to get fiat other than the official ways.

Getting bitcoin is easy... they just earn it.


Just tested, it needs to give feedback when things go wrong... try with this qr code image.

Most wallets like sparrow wallet or blue wallet will scan different basic configurations to find your funds on the blockchain if you are restoring your seed words, so unless you're doing something advanced, they'll find your funds.

That said, typically you just need to know the seed words even if you are restoring to another cold card.

I assume you check your balance using a watch only wallet? If so, when you exported your export file (also called XPUB file) you would have chosen an address type (legacy, segwit, or taproot) you should remember that, because if you export the file again with the wrong address type, you'll see an empty balance.

Good news is if you forget anyway, export them all, one of them will show you your funds 😎

A shitty take by sky news saying that children need love, hope and happiness to grow tall according to some expert.


If all 5 people in a room are Hitler and you are in the room, then you are also Hitler.


#asknostr I can see image posts on amethyst. How do I get my posts onto that feed?

Looks like they are kind 1063 posts.


What is this voodoo. If you redeem, where does it go? Is it recycled and stored as an encrypted message or something?


Press and hold the zap button 👀

Also try double tapping to include a message with your zap. 🔥


What client? Images on nostr posts are just URLs to images... you can put multiple links to multiple images onto a single post.

Zbd should not allow you to log in your own accounts to their app. It should force you to create a new one every time.


Just played with it here on a test deployment: https://0a6a2fcd.mutiny-web.pages.dev/

Looking for some help

Just setup my daughter with WalletofSatoshi and have shown her receiving and sending from my account but would love for her to receive a few random pings.

***  Just single sats if you could please to make it ping, ping, ping for her. Thanks ***

Not interested in large donations, its just the excitement of receiving random sats.

Boosts also greatly appreciated to hopefully increase the pings

I got that one... no idea how it chose that! Did you have to choose who to zap or did it decide for you?


Buggy as! You have to tip each person individually.

I paid one with Zeus, and it wouldn't pay the others citing "failed routing". I paid another with Phoenix Wallet and when trying to pay the final one....

It just loads the details of my payment to the previous person...

Is there like a shared preimage or something??

Unlike Facebook, Instagram, Spotify, Twitter and almost all the other social media sites, nostr is not a platform.

It is a protocol, similar to the HTTP protocol that we use everyday to access websites using one of many universally compatible web browsers. If the concept of a protocol, or the term HTTP sounds too scary or complicated to you, fret not — hopefully this article will still articulate the powerful differences between a platform and a protocol sufficiently.

> **Did you know?** NOSTR stands for Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays.

## Clients and relays
Before we get started, lets quickly define the two main components of nostr.

### Client:
A client is something that a user or content creator might use to interact with NOSTR.

Facebook also uses clients. Users may use multiple clients to access Facebook's content: they may use the official website on a laptop, the official mobile app on an Android phone or an iPhone, and some may even use unofficial clients to access and interact with their Facebook profile.

Nostr has no official website and no official applications, each client is created and designed to present its creators vision of a useful application that users might desire.

Some clients are focused towards photos in order to provide an instagram-like interface, others are designed to show short text notes like Twitter, and others may present long form articles and personal blog posts, but all clients fetch data from the same source, filter as appropriate, organise and present the data to fulfil a vision.

### Relay:
The relationship between a client and a relay is similar to that between Facebook clients and Facebook servers. A relay is a type of web server that clients connect to in order to fetch and post data on your behalf, but as we'll explore, relays have much less power to control or manipulate your data or its discoverability than Facebook does.

Relays are much simpler than web servers; when asking a relay for content, clients are very specific about what content they want, and relays must return only the relevant information.

Relays can not provide sponsored content or advertisements like Facebook does, and relays cannot tamper with user content for any reason; Attempts to do either of these things is trivial for a client to detect and is easy to discard.

## One identity, multiple apps
Imagine you have an account on Facebook, TikTok and Twitter; you will have multiple accounts, each probably with a different profile picture and bio, but likely with some shared information like your name, email address and other identifiable information.

Your identity also has as much to do with the content you post, as the profile you define. Many influencers and content creators need to post the same message on multiple platforms in order to reach different users and relay information to their many followers across these platforms.

Nostr is not a platform; it is a free and open standard that allows us to create an identity and to share information securely without locking in the data with a single platform run by a big tech firm.

Instead of registering for accounts on multiple platforms, on nostr we can define a single unique profile and use its associated keys to post images, notes, videos, streams and anything else we wish to share with the world.

As we touched on above when describing clients, there will be different clients, each specialising and becoming popular for relaying specific content types and experiences. With a single identity, you can simply publish all manner of content, and each app will display only the appropriate content for its purpose to its users.

An Instagram-like application will present your photos proud and clearly, while a Twitter-like application will focus on presenting your notes in a feed.

## Misplaced trust
On a platform like Facebook, every user is entrusting a company to accurately relay their content and abstain from modifying or misrepresenting it before presenting it to their followers.

Although platforms are not known for doing these things, in order to provide any sort of assurances, these platforms take full control of our content, including how and when to display it. This in turn affords them power over both content providers and their followers, demanding that users watch advertisements before viewing the content they wanted to see and demanding content providers pay to ensure their content is presented in an egaging manner.

With identities on nostr, we eliminate the need to trust such platforms by introducing digitally signed content which employs cryptography, similar to how WhatsApp employs cryptography to provide end to end ecrypted messaging; it's mostly transparent to us as the complexities will be handled by your nostr client of choice.

It is worth mentioning that nostr can also be used to send encrypted direct messages (DMs) which provides similar protections to WhatsApp, and as time progresses, more privacy features will develop. Also existing features are constantly being discussed in public and improvements to existing features should be expected as more clients appear, and as more users arrive.

Digital signatures provide two things to our content:

1. A digital signature confirms whom the note was created by, as only the user who created an identity can produce a signature.
2. It also acts as a seal for the original content, as the signature will not match any modified or tampered version of the content.

This technology eliminates the need to rely on "big tech" to guard, arbitrate and declare which content was created, by whom, and when. This in turn allows the data to flow freely between relays which compete to become the source of your data, which further in turn creates an environment where arbitrary censorship and so called "algorithmic bias" is difficult, if not impossible to impose onto users.

With nostr, clients request exactly what _you_ want: they specify the identities that you are interested in following, as well as the topics, time ranges and types of content you wish to see. Relays merely provide what data they have, and clients can easily detect and discard unsolicited data. Of course, relays and clients may work together to serve unsolicited content and advertisements, but users can easily switch clients and read from different relays, so this is unlikely to be a fruitful strategy to employ on nostr.

Another point worth mentioning, is that relays may share data with one another, and users may also push content discovered on one relay to another relay. This helps to ensure that your data is less likely to be lost or deleted, as it naturally spreads across the network, and it further fosters competition among relays keeping them honest.

![Anatomy of nostr](https://i.nostrimg.com/f033d47eef74288c9085b9b1b9be9afa519d3a8ab0f4e2f57e20349163382ab8/file.png)

## Direct engagement and ZAPS!
With no intermediary, nostr can foster a much closer connection between content creators and their followers. Although relays cannot effectively block or hide messages from you, there are still tools you can use to flag sensitive or offensive comments and share those flags on the network.

Compared to top down censorship, user based flagging can become more effective at allowing different clients, such as those that are child friendly, to take a more liberal approach to hiding content, while allowing other clients to present more content, even if they have been marked as spam, offensive or controversial.

When it comes to monetisation, platforms usually use your engagement numbers to collect revenue from marketing companies and paying customers, and then offer you a small percentage of that revenue. On top of this, many platforms like Youtube and Twitch allow users to tip their favourite content creators, but once again, platforms will facilitate the payment, taking their cut along the way.

A payment protocol was developed fairly early on into nostr. The feature is called "zaps" and was initially developed to allow users to tip content creators, acknowledging their appreciation for it.

Today, zaps are quite often given towards funny posts, memes, and thought provoking posts. Nostr has also become useful for asking questions, getting answers and receiving small tips for providing a useful answer.

### What type of money though?
It is not possible to create a protocol to facilitate bank transfers worldwide; banks require intermediaries like Visa and Mastercard to facilitate the payment, which then requires a company to collect and distribute the payments, all which involve fees and often require different solutions depending on your country of origin.

Instead, zaps focus on facilitating payments using Bitcoin on the Lightning Network. This allows fast, cheap micropayments (sub-penny tips that add up when you garner a good amount of engagement) and allows payments to be made directly from user to content creator without a greedy intermediary. It is a great showcase to illustrate how Bitcoin can succeed at facilitating free trade and innovative payment use cases where traditional banking just cannot.

An interesting development that has become somewhat cultural amongst the circles I follow, is how the authors of popular clients will post about the new updates that they have released, detailing new features and many users will zap a small amount as a token of their appreciation. These many small zaps add up and it has become a great showcase of the [value 4 value](https://blog.getalby.com/the-case-for-value-4-value/) idea:

![value for value](https://i.nostrimg.com/4913bc5bab8820db3d7aea3a2f3714ca62116830c915c4396a1e3ace6fe6fa06/file.png)

## Everything is optional, but features are complimentary
Just as clients are free to pick and choose features to provide, relays can do the same; some relays may provide very few features, but will be very fast at providing content, while others will provide more feature rich content but might require a paid subscription to read from or publish to.

Fortunately, relays have a standard way to broadcast what features they do and do not support and any notable limitations in a standard, machine readable way. This will allow clients to more effectively manage how it interacts with relays in order to provide a much smoother experience for their users.

Anyone can operate a relay too. A tech smart family member can set up a private relay that only serves known identities and serves to host and relay private content such as family photos and private communications.

For an influencer, a personal relay could also serve as a more reliable source for people to discover your content without needing to be concerned about which relays might be attempting to censor you.

Relays can be politcally left leaning, while others may be right leaning, some may be focused on music and entertainment, while others focus on preserving news articles.

As a user, you can connect to whichever relays you wish to, and disconnect any that are unhelpful. In this way, relays compliment each other and work together to provide all of the data you expect.

Just like in the early days of the internet, there is a lot of room for anyone with talent to set up, and participate in the development and evolution of this new technology, and it's super exciting!

## Nostr is for public content only (for now)
It is important to note, that there are not yet any clients or standard features that protect the visibility of your posts, so all shared notes should be considered public.

It is not recommended to use nostr for sharing personal photos of your children, or sharing personal or sensitive information about yourself unless you truly want to share this information with the whole world publicly.

The only protected feature on nostr is the DM (direct messaging) feature. Similar to WhatsApp, these messages are protected with end to end encryption, which will protect your messages from prying eyes, however there is still metadata that is public.

With metadata, it is possible for others to see things like what identities are messaging together, how often, and at what times. This is at least not as bad as WhatsApp where they also collect things like your location and your phone number as you use the application.

Hopefully in the future, more progress will be made in this area with features that enable private group chats, and access control management which might mature nostr into a protocol that is suitable for sharing information limited to trusted friends and family.

## Just the tip of the iceberg
Nostr is much much more than just a social media protocol. At its most basic level, nostr provides a way for anyone and anything to communicate reliably and publicly, without gatekeepers.

This technology can be used to disrupt many existing services, especially those that cannot function today without intermediaries that profit, purely by positioning themsleves as middlemen.

Things like Uber, AirBnB, Deliveroo and likely other such services may find competition powered by nostr, and who knows what else.

## Nostr today
This article has been presented to you on a nostr client, and is available to read on many different apps and websites, but it is going to be best viewed on a blogging client like <https://habla.news>

That said, the most popular clients built for nostr provide a Twitter-like experience. I thought I'd close this piece with a few examples of the innovative and unique features I've seen on my favourite client [Amethyst](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vitorpamplona.amethyst) (for Android phones only):

### Express more than a like with emoticons
![Emoticon likes](https://i.nostrimg.com/4cf8667b827a4a70269cbcf2573df8b96efeca9fc9c86ad57683e0449e04f5a3/file.png)

The image above shows a post by Carla, and my own reaction (the laughing emoji: 🤣) is shown where a heart symbol would usually be (see the post below it).

Details can be expanded underneath the post to show all the other reactions people have submitted to the post.

Best of all, you can submit multiple reactions, you don't have to stick to just one!

### Tamper proof image links
![Tamper proof images](https://i.nostrimg.com/aa6133541cdcbe6d4a0a1b062fd7f50087fd03d3c55261b0e16378513d396829/file.png)

An image can be worth a thousand words, but in a post, an image is loaded by a link to another website. The site that hosts your image could change that image very easily, very abruptly changing the context and meaning of your post.

The purple ribbon on the top right indicates that a unique identifier was captured when the image was uploaded and that the contents of the image have not changed since the post was first created, and tapping the icon will provide a short message to explain this to the reader.

With this feature, your words and your images are safe from manipulation and if a host _were_ to change the image some time in the future, users will immediately know that the images in your post were tampered with after its creation.

### Donate with a zap
A great platform for raising money, either for a project or for a charity, is called [Geyser Fund](https://geyser.fund/). On this platform, donations are paid in Bitcoin and are also paid directly with no middlemen to collect any cuts.

Since both Bitcoin and nostr development are done openly and collaboratively, it is scary how interopable they can be.

Upon noticing a note that asked for donations, it occurred to me that many may make the mistake of zapping the author of the note instead of donating on Geyser Fund.

I learnt that Geyser Fund allows us to accept donations via a [Lightning Address](https://lightningaddress.com/), and that my nostr client allows me to specify an alternative destination for zaps when creating notes using Lightning Addresses too.

When using the zap feature, it is possible to send an accompanying message, and I wanted to know what might happen if I send a zap with a message to a note that redirected its zaps to a Guyser fund.

To my surprise, the integration was flawless. The message I sent was received along with the donation to the Geyser Fund platform and was displayed on the site like magic!

![A donation made via a nostr zap](https://imgproxy.snort.social/_6ACG9rqdIwHhFTYtEcHzn88bRd_9Tm9ru-K-zzC3SA//aHR0cDovL25vc3RyY2hlY2subWUvbWVkaWEvYml0Y29pbmJhcnJ5L25vc3RyY2hlY2subWVfZDk1Y2RjMjUxNGE2NWRkZjZiMzdmNzk0OTBkNWIxNGQ1NDgzM2JjNDEyZTRkZDZhLndlYnA)

> Note: The full title of the fund was called "BITCOIN TO MY MUM AND SISTER'S CHARITY CHALLENGE" and funds were promised to an African charity called FOGADD. Details can be found [here](https://geyser.fund/project/joesfam)

### Zapple Pay
Last but not least, is a feature that was designed specifically for Apple iPhones.

Very recently, Apple threatened to take a nostr client for Apple called Damus off the app store unless they removed the zap feature, citing that it violated their terms of service by offering content or products for payments without using Apple Pay.

Arguably, the value for value model of tipping posts AFTER they have been shared should not be considered a payment for content, but regardless, after a few attempts to reason had failed, Damus removed the feature.

Within weeks, a website called [Zapple Pay](https://www.zapplepay.com/) was created to provide users of Damus (and any other clients for on the Apple app store that would also have zaps removed) the ability to work around the ban. Users are able to assign an emoticon to a specific zap action such as "tipping 100 satoshis" to the note author.

To Damus, you are simply reacting to a note with an emoticon; to Apple, Damus has broken no rules; yet for the user, they have successfully circumvented the ban and can continue to enjoy the zap feature.

This is a great example of how open and collaborative nostr development can be; strangers around the world were able to work together and build something for themselves and their users despite Apple's obvious reach for power over their users.

This post will break down what nostr (typically pronounced as `nos-ter`, or `no-star`) is, and why it may be worth your attention.

Sat waiting for a kebab in north London after a bloody incredible couple of days at Advancing Bitcoin.

I got knocked off #1 position at Advancing Bitcoin at Sats-Man :-( But can any Nostriches beat my score of 56,430?!

This game of Pacman with Lightning integration was built by #[1] and his dad #[2] - and for 1000 Sats you can get your name on the leaderboard. Use the event code “nostrich” to get on the leaderboard when paying your lightning integration.

Ooh, using fountain is a pretty neat one. Then I can immediately pay it forward.


I did try, but my wallet balance was too low.


The lack of friction to pay makes it really easy to justify paying.

That said, it does take a little extra work for no-coiners.

Something that I think only exists on damus for now, but is a NIP, so any client can eventually implement it.

But imagine a tip button on every post. If you like a post, send a sat for shits and giggles.

Imagine you post a video that people like...............


Guys, GUYS! It turns out that the GBP in the UK DOES have intrinsic value... We're all fucked.

https://youtu.be/kUlu-XjCgtk


The simplicity of using the internet like an online community rather than a conglomerate of commercial hubs.

NOSTR is a market place, not a supermarket.


Wait wait... Free sats... For you?


Using amethyst on android, comes with 15 relays and shows how many are connected at all times (currently 10/15)

Speed is pretty good, feels like Twitter.


I'll give that one a read tonight. Thanks.


I had a thought, I don't know whether this is already a thing, but ... XPUBs...

If an identity was an XPUB, and messages can be written by a sub key that is hot, then you can use the XPUB to link different public keys to a single person and use each one for different things.

Eg. Key 2 can be used to receive bitcoin, while key 3 is used to sign software etc.

1 public identity, many keys that can be managed differently for different purposes.


Look at all the beautiful checkmarks... I have one too #amethyst_updates ♥


Nah

There is only 1 hexican plus many bots. It's like a game with only one level. You have to  battle the boss at the beginning and that's the game.


I see that you can run a mint with no BTC backing it.

If someone gave me a token from that mint, is there an obvious way to tell it is running in unbacked mode?


Woah


(caching)


People were criminals before... So glad we built a society of only good people now.


For a second (more than a second) I thought I was browsing nostr but I was actually browsing Twitter.

Then I saw an ad.

Just goes to show how polished nostr feels on Amethyst.


Can't wait for the first block and spam wars.

It's very easy to create new accounts and I don't think we've begun to solve for the last 20% part of building social networks.

The 20/80 rule: 80% of the work takes 20% of the time and the last 20% of the work takes 80% of the time.


We need Elon to come in and bring in delete and edit functionality.


Let me guess: "purple ostrich on apple"


This is somehow very compelling


Hey, just got the latest client... I would say the button to copy the nsec is a little scary, there should be a warning before allowing that to go into your clipboard.


Economists may consider those to be perfect currencies as you must spend them as you receive them, no savings = booming economy. Or something.


Aren't you always in that perfect time to see the tiny slither of the current thing?


2am for me ☹


I don't get it, I don't hear anything


19k (GBP) LFG!


Non custodial would be many years away... Users DGAF


I was thinking in case you want redundancy... If an alias provider went AWOL, you'd have a backup ?


If encrypted by NIP 4, I suppose the privacy issue is gone since no one would know that you received a mint token?


I think they may already be here... Fortunately they ain't shitcoining yet.


Phew. At least you could undo that.

In the future, if you're blocking spam bots, you may need a better way to filter and manage blocked ppl.


Oy! 1.2 for a GitHub replacement? Wow.

What's the minimum requirements? GitHub is pretty feature rich these days.


Just having a think about nostr and cashu. Please correct any mistakes in my assumptions:

1. You can send someone an encrypted message (NIP 4)

2. That message may simply be or contain a cashu token

3. Once sent, it is up to the receiver to claim that token against the mint?

4. With p2sh support, you could create a token that doesn't need to be claimed because spending is already restricted to the recipients private key so no need to even keep the token private.

5. Nostr effectively "solves" the storage and backup problem... No need for local backups.

6. You obviously still rely on a mint, but only for redemption of tokens and spending, not for account management or file backups.

7. The innovation is that now you only need to backup your private key (similar to on chain) but of course it is not fit for any sort of ling term storage, just resilient against phone loss or phone theft.

#[0]  did I make any mistakes?


I did it on accident already


And the boost button


What client does? Maybe you can log in with pub key and use another client you trust for posting?


Amethyst is the best I've found so far for Android. Apparently on the app store, but I can't find it. The release can be found on GitHub


I just (accidentally) boosted a post 3 times in a row. Is that a bug or a feature?


Amethyst


Can you have multiple? Is there any benefit to it?


I see an activity count on my nostr posts. What does it represent? It's not replies, nor likes. If it's a view count, how does it know?


Then you have the same issue around spoof/misleading domains.

This coupled with apparently being able to copy someone's chat history, for low impact accounts, this is fine, but for celebs, I don't think this solves anything.

Am I wrong?


It's a shame that it isn't narrated by Jeff himself 😅


Gm 👨💼


Clients should probably request data and validate the data before presenting... I bet they just show whatever they get back.


Is it possible to copy someone's message history so as to easily become an imposter and start scamming people?


Is there a nip for that? So many things happening in this space it's impossible to keep up.

I still can't fathom how a p2sh is going to integrate into a social protocol trustlessly in a way that couldn't just be nostr agnostic.


I wish we were all honets.


Does this mean you have given him a token that he can only redeem using his private key as a description key or something?


So... What are you doing?


Who remembers this meme? https://i.ytimg.com/vi/LqSg9yVfzV0/maxresdefault.jpg


They do need to sync to the blockchain but they CAN use pruned nodes.

They need to watch the blockchain to ensure none of your partners are closing channels without telling you. -- especially if they are closing channels with old channel states. Your node needs to watch the blockchain in order to know if it should punish the other guy.


Probably the ssd


Recently, this is pretty dumbed down but should prime someone in how to think about bitcoin.

Afaik, it looks like people have lightning addresses set up but don't this app doesn't show it. Is this something on the roadmap?

Edward has been a little chatty today. That or twitter doesn't really show me much of him.

He's thinking out loud and I love to see how his mind thinks.

Really helps to hear his thought processes to understand he is just a human and not some super genius privacy warrior. He uses the same tools we all do. It's a bit of a relief.


To be clear, is nostr integrated with lightning, or is it just the clients?

Is there something in the protocol?


Isn't this just the same as standard sats?

Gday from the UK


Edit: a multiple of the version difference of course.


What version is it on now?

Why not pay the version difference instead?


3) how?


Considering Luke's snarky comments at others about not knowing what they're talking about, correcting their interpretations of his words, and being super pedantic about shit...

I'd say this proves that he's just a salty idiot with some good ideas about bitcoin, and an ego.


Fyi, I saw this after seeing a reply and clicking on it for context.

Fyi check out amethyst.

This is the real orange pill app (sorry not sorry)


Did I get a follow? 👀


I find it funny that twitter - considered a censored platform has lots of complaining about political shit and censoring but nostr...

Nostr is just full of mofos rolling around in the mud exploring and not trying to soap box day in day out.

Breath of fresh air.


Omg, didn't even realise that I couldn't do that.


I'm sure you already use it, but fountain app is my go to.

Sorry, replied to wrong thread. 🤦🏻😅


Interesting because all I see is "in reply to <hash>" on astral.ninja


Can you see who is following you on nostr?


Astral feels super slow. To be fair, they all feel slow, but this has a nicer UI and feels a little faster. I actually am running astral, anigma and this client.

Still early, but all seem to have the same issue of lack of context.


Using nostr.rocks right now, I wish replies had context on the home feed.
