 Day 3 of tigs' No Prize #photography 30 day challenge

Argh! Woke up just a little bit too late and I've missed the beautiful morning sunrise, Was aiming for something that would melt the soul and spark imagination and thirst for the day. Not sure I achieved that. 😅

Intentions were to play with the different lightrays that come off on the lens when angling for the Sun.

 Day 2 of tigs' No Prize #photography 30 day challenge

Ironically, like @Marce - I actually chose to do something with light and shadow too 😅.

Intentions were to play with the different light filters on the iPhone14 that are inbuilt and not some snapchat filter etc. Can see some decent results happening if I bothered to get the angles right!

 I hear this song and I imagine the Bilderberg 500 doing this at their conference, table top dancing.

 Hello everybody I’m Nandi 

#introductions 
 Heya Nandi! Welcome to the weird world of Nostr 😄 
 P.S. Might want to setup your Lightning wallet! 
 Fill out the survey peeps! Make the best source for Nostr + Bitcoin news even better!  
 New users may be confused as we talk about relays on Nostr. What is a relay? What kinds of relays... 
 We should make a video wiki with you at the helm Derek! :) 
 Hmm.. Not sure about the WoS -> Phoenix problems you're having. Wondering if a channel has to be established or some kind of liquidity has to be made first on Phoenix. Don't think so from memory.. (Can anyone clarify?)

Also the Damus Wallet issue.. If you don't want to open up your lightning wallet every time to zap... in the Damus Wallet Settings there is the ability to attach to an Alby Wallet or to attach to a wallet I believe through a NWC (Nostr Wallet Connect) style connection. What this means is that when you zap... Damus takes it upon itself to zap without you having to use your Lightning wallet!

Also the mining idea is fantatsic btw... I've been using Apollo Futurebits as they only take 200-300W of energy. I'm contemplating the Apollo 2 however which has just been released.

 just cause it’s not sake 🤪 
 Hahah - If we had hot sake... I think we would still be drinking now! 
 On my original/root post? Or? I don’t think my replies have PoW (NIP-13) setup. 😝 
 Haha nah I just meant nice Proof of Work (actually doing something! 😄)

The Nostrverse thanks you! 
 Thank you for the informations, well explained and helpful. 

I can’t use WOS on Damus anymore,... 
 Hmm
Do you mean zapping people's posts on Damus or the actual zap link on their profile? I know Apple are anal and decided to stop post zapping but allow profile zapping.

For a complete self-custody setup I guess there is Zeus wallet and Mutiny wallet. They require 50,000 or 100,000 sats to open some channels and get liquidity going, after that you should be smooth sailing but sadly I've found them recently to be not quite as responsive as WoS/Alby.

Hardware wallet is probably mucho recommended unless you go for a paper wallet and have it laminated and in different places etc. I recommend https://boltz.exchange/ for swapping from Lightning to On-Chain and vice-versa. There should be many other swap services around though I think.

For buying non-kyc sats/bitcoin I use Robosats and sometimes Bisq.

https://learn.robosats.com/
https://bisq.network/

Best thing though is to find a miner who will sell you non-kyc sats for the market price. If they complain, tell them that cash/fiat is disappearing as well and a fair tradeoff is what you're after.

Good Luck! 
 There is an active Fountain Telegram group for bugs and reporting.   
 Oh sweet! Thanks.
 
  @fountain_app Yo! Just thought you should know that I can't subscribe to Premium on iOS. Tapping subscribe to premium results in nothing, if i tap about 10-20 times though it says I'm subscribed... But the transcripts still say I'm not.

Any fixes on the horizon? 
 Trying to install a new wallet, since #WOS disappeared in my settings.  #asknostr Which wallet wo... 
 Wait... disappeared?

Try going to the App Store on iPhone or Play Store on Android and pushing Open. I have a thing where my shortcuts disappear completely from the phone but can be launched from the respective app store.

Recommending wallets though... if you're happy with WoS then I would recommend setting up a Alby wallet on your desktop, then linking that to Zeus or Blue Wallet on your phone. Basically it means no phone usage for when on the desktop as Alby does the lifting. Also it means your sats balance is shared/the same between Desktop+Mobile.

If you are looking for something that won't get you rug pulled, then it's probably wise to look at Mutiny Wallet or Zeus with their own LSP. Mind you it can cost a little bit to open a channel and it's fairly slow compared to WoS/Alby ... but it's self-custody and that can make the difference. 
 - Default is 11 sats but you can change it in the pop up.
 Rest all points you mentioned are true... 
 Ahh ok! I'll check the default/popup in a moment.

No worries with the testing! I hope to be around for the next iterations and releases of it 😄 
 On https://cornychat.com/frogtalk !!!

Lots of emoji's to really express yourself too ;) 
Will strive to make it!! 💜🫂🥰

 *Day 1* of tigs'  no prize #photography ~30 day challenge.

Today's theme: Trying to capture a hidden gem (passion fruit) in an sea of green.

Challenges: Taking a photo of a passion fruit without it looking like a tomato.
Thinking of doing the whole thing on my iPhone 14. Got a few cameras lying around but for the spontaneity and must-capture photo moments. I figure the iPhone will suffice.. for now.
Will install/setup a DJi OSMO Gimbal with the camera to get more stable photos!

Biggest challenge for me currently with this subject is capturing a passion fruit that *looks* like a passion fruit.

 The Universe could just be a very elaborate and intricate Rube Golberg machine. 🤷 
 Nothing gets me excited like watching a 100 part rube goldberg machine in action 😆

 Thank you :)

No doubt will read this and find some gems.

 Woah!! You were part of hl2world?! Very awesome Garry's Mod is based on the same code from a hacked, unreleased version. I had absolutely no idea, just figured someone knew the unleaked HL2 engine really well and pushed it to the limit. 

That's really shitty of Gaben though... especially getting the hacker's hopes up with a potential job. Same time I remember Valve being up in arms about the HL2 source being grabbed. 

Thank you for the trip down nostalgia lane 😄 
 nostr:note12mcq2vz4a39k34evhc5hkk2p3xz7gcka4hd2dwcx5gsq5q4z6gasmmd9ap A true test of time... The best games are dead games. Because they have the most active builder communities in them. Well freaking done on creating something that stands the test of time!

Robin Walker originally created Team Fortress (first mod ever for Quake), grew so huge he eventually got hired by Valve to work on TF2, L4D, Counter-Strike and the list goes on. I picture nothing but great things for you 😉 
 This is def the new side event! nostr:npub1zu5tdnq7w63fgmsfz85te7e6zeg7y2lt8q8r9jp5zcg68jfy73jqra... 
 Nice one!

Gotta say though @Anna ... That guy on the right is holding a Martini glass, not a gun 😂

Remind me to never get on your bad side 👀 
 Heyo @Memestr_app

Needs a NIP-07 login first and foremost I think.

-Zapping seems to only do 1 sat? 
-Can't click on it to increase zap amount. 
-Also I can't seem to zap extra sats or choose a custom number of sats to send.
-Get Started Text/Link takes you nowhere

Otherwise looking like well on the way!  
 Only two more days left to vote!

There are some awesome entrie... 
 Trying to get to https://habla.news/u/nostr.build/zy-1d_a6a9nl--mks1f2c - but sadly it's showing a endless loading circle 🤔

Tried on Firefox + Chrome, everything else on habla.news seems to be working... 

If my vote doesn't get through... I'm voting for Marce. #ProofOfWork with #Photography is great 😄 
 typo on twitch.tv btw! youtube link takes me to youtube.com instead for some reason too... And I'm already a member of the DC 😄 
 Sure! NIP-42 is a way for clients to authenticate to relays. From the user perspective it’s sea... 
 Awesome! Nice PoW 😃 
 Bitcoin doesn't belong to the US; it belongs to the world. 
 Well said... If we want the hope that Bitcoin brings to embrace only one nation... well that would suck. Not very often does an invention come along which is for the benefit of EVERYBODY on Earth.  
 Agree heaps with alot of what you had to say! The magic of PoW and the essence of it does seem to have shrunk. I shall totally join you on your photography journey. Nice one!! 
 返信をしてみるてすと! 
 🫡I like the boxertwin.info/nostr/ NIP5 ! Sugoi! 
  @Spirit of Satoshi - Your opennode payment gateway might be down? Either that or Alby is crapping itself. Anyone able to confirm? 
 Gm! I need that image to enter my brain just before I fall asleep 😅💜 
 It depends xd Will have to disable Legendary probably since that is causing problems. nostr:npub1... 
 Yeah the legendary is going to take 90+ years to PoW according to Kieran I think it was 😂

Um... honestly I'm not 100% sure @verbiricha But I think it was about an hour or two. It wasn't too bad actually. Does the PoW rely on the badge creators CPU? I'm rocking a 7800X3D so that might have sped things up... But maybe I got lucky?

Not sure if the PoW is like Bitcoin where it can be ~10 minutes (which means 1 second to several hours). Might have just gotten lucky... I'm happy to create another Epic badge now though and to actually time it 😂 
 GN 🌖 PV 🤙

Everything is about to get really weird. 
 GN! 💜🤙🫂

The weird can be fun too 😁

 A DDoS attack on Primal’s infrastructure started around 8pm Belgrade time on New Year’s eve. ... 
 Happy New Year! 🫂🎉💜
Will happily wait months for this site to resurface if it ever went down :)

Wonderful day indeed and some wonderful words on   your part 💜🎉 
 It's time for #Bitrefill to get involved!

What are the "must follow" accounts here on Nostr?

#a... 
  @𝕾𝖊𝖗 𝕾𝖑𝖊𝖊𝖕𝖞 and @5c508c34 and @island and @Marie for your dose of frogtalk.
 @QW and @AviBurra for their PlebChainRadio

For the best in the Nostr and Bitcoin news I like @NostReport alot. 

Can thank countless people for their communal and pro-bono efforts in basically every area of Nostr. 

I found the https://nostr.world/ website to be helpful. I just looked up everyone that was a speaker 😂 - To be honest though, *everyone* that attended Nostrasia imo is a must follow account.

There are countless champions and builders on this protocol 😃
