Hi Oscar. I'm having trouble connecting to existing Nostr profile in the Fountain app. Tried with Amber and just raw dogged my nsec in and just getting spinning load icon. Any advice muchos welcomed 😉


Nice to have you here, welcome..


Hahaha this is funny. But in their defence didn't I hear you on a podcast that you went dark because you are scared of authority 😂😂😂, they be boys but you be a girl broooooo


Sent my boost direct to the ungovernablemisfits Alby address as Fountain wasn't playing nicely with me. Great show as always gentlemen


Don't trigger the alarmists 😂😂


But the seed oil fanatics are a different breed of stupid in my opinion 😂


Not so much being wrong. Most are just unaware on how nuanced their extreme views on things are. Large majority of people just guess their health status


Health topics?


For me it's some of the worst content but it's not surprising when they're newer to the health side of things. It's obviously good to see people talking about improving their wellbeing but it's like pulling teeth seeing/hearing certain topics


They all think they're are health experts (they aren't 😂), they all repeat the same nonsense over and over, the shilling of shit products with their new edgy advertising voices is embarrassing and the desperate need for more listeners by incorporating conspiracy theories is lame IMO.


Agreed. The shift in them all is cringey as hell.


But do you have a red and black checked shirt on?

I should listen and make sure Max didn’t just interview me only to play Kamala Harris soundbytes after asking me questions.

I think this is an important conversation.   While I didn’t mention it, attacks on Samourai are motivated (I believe) by institutional simping - a desire to make the space more palatable.

Imagine making that personal trade off only to find out that some institutions were coming anyway because they had no choice but the rest would sell their bitcoin at the first sign of trouble.  It’s just not worth it.

Whilst I'm a huge animal protein advocate it's good to also not get too blinded by the fact that there are harmful things including carcinogenic compounds in your steak. Alot of studies and click bait people on both sides get led into are the fact that these studies show mechanistic things that actually don't equate to outcomes.

You can make the bad case in most foods if you suit the papers to your narrative in this regard. The dosage makes the poison.

I really struggle that anti plant food people make such wild claims about miniscule dosages of compounds but then totally ignore them when harmful things that are in their steak.


It's a good job you don't because there isn't many that like you due to your vile actions online. Maybe if you sort your shit out you'd get more respect.

RELAYS HAVE EVOLVED!

Nostr relays have evolved beyond their initial role as dumb pipes or simple databases. Today, the Nostr ecosystem is home to a variety of specialized relays, each offering unique functionalities.

What unique relays exist on Nostr? Here are a few:

wss://gm.swarmstr.com - A relay for GMs only
wss://catstrr.swarmstr.com - Cat pics and content about cats
wss://questions.swarmstr.com - A questions only relay
by  nostr:npub178umpxtdflcm7a08nexvs4mu384kx0ngg9w8ltm5eut6q7lcp0vq05qrg4

wss://eyes.f7z.io - notes with the 👀 emoji only
wss://140.f7z.io - 140 character max notes, like Twitter's old policy
by  nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft

wss://algo.utxo.one - a new type of algorithm based relay
This type of relay category is very new, but will grow over time.
by  nostr:npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8

And then we have WoT relays or relays that operate with a Web-of-Trust, brining less spam to users in a more trusted and safer environment. Here are several WoT relays:

wss://wot.utxo.one
wss://nostrelites.org
wss://wot.nostr.party
wss://wot.sovbit.host
wss://wot.girino.org
wss://relay.lnau.net
wss://wot.siamstr.com
wss://relay.lexingtonbitcoin.org
wss://wot.azzamo.net
wss://wot.swarmstr.com
wss://zap.watch
wss://satsage.xyz
wss://wons.calva.dev
wss://wot.zacoos.com
wss://wot.shaving.kiwi
wss://wot.tealeaf.dev
wss://wot.nostr.net
wss://relay.goodmorningbitcoin.com

To fully leverage these relay advancements, we now need new sets tools that can make the most of these new features. It's time for relay management and relay explorers to take on a more prominent role within our clients. These tools can help users discover, explore, and even rate relays, encouraging greater decentralization of content on Nostr. This also opens up exciting new opportunities for how users find, engage with, and share information in new and unique ways.

I have tried to make this exact same argument with ppl but I think the biggest issue that advocates of "speech moderation" fail to grasp is that any form of regulation or moderation inherently requires someone to decide what is permissible and what is not. Even if the designated gatekeepers are democratically elected, it doesn't guarantee they’ll make the right choices—or that a universally "right" decision even exists. The subjective nature of filtering speech introduces a constant risk of overreach and bias, regardless of the intent.

Spoiler alert.......you don't have to drink it 😉


We aren't trying to irradicate them all togeether.... if you look at my previous comments. Omega 6's are essential as well. If omega's are paired with a polyphenol it actually acts as a chaperone in carrying it safely to the cellar without the normal oxidisation from the temperature of the blood like other poor quality supps.

Thanks for your input though 😂


I'm kind of in your camp here as the majority of omega supplements are utter trash and do absolutely nothing. This I've tested over many years.

My blood work and thousands of others have made significant improvements by making this change and I'll always trust my bio marker results taken each year than others opinions.

I do find it funny how people say alot on this topic yet actually do testing themselves and just prove it to themselves instead of guessing about their health status

Absolutely. But they definitely aren't the devil and when I was in this line of work people can adopt bigger issues if they hear on social media that foods are going to kill them lol.


😂😂 do it!


They could well be, that and the fact they're in almost every processed food. The point is to be able to monitor it and have easy ways to still not take over your life by not allowing yourself the odd bad meal here and there.

As long as your bloods are hitting decent levels with either an annual or 9 monthly check then you're all good.

Have a look at https://www.insidetracker.com/


They don't no and that's why I always say it boils back down to personal responsibility. Most people that are so anti seed oils don't eat super clean 100% of the time so I don't know why they get so over sensitive when I call this nonsense out.

Reduce seed oils and food that contain them as much as you can, take a decent omega 3 supplement unless on medications that thin the blood. Do regularly blood tests to track inflammatory markers.


No you don't understand. We are saying different things here. Seed oils aren't the devil. You need a certain amount of omega 6's. They're essential. I'm arguing that it's all in the dosage.

If you have a a decent cellular balance you don't need to eliminate them all together. Do you understand?

I could use the same argument about water. Water is great for you in the right doses, but too much of it will kill you! Is water the devil?

The dosage makes the poison!


I'm saying you don't need to eliminate seed oils all together if your omega 3 intake is high with a decent supplement. I'm sorry you don't like this answer but it's proven and I've done it.


Don't wait, mute me now homeboy 😂


It will do in terms of cellular balance yes 100%. I've proven and tested it on many people including myself for years.


FFS I want some now 😂😎


I'm not promoting anything. Code doesn't care about your thoughts. I just find  pleasure in calling out utter bullshit from folk like yourself when it's needed, and more joy when you get owned then have a meltdown 😂😂😂😂


Unfortunately this is a common mistake people make when they comment on subjects that they aren't well versed in. Citing a paper just to show your logic is pretty key. And then reading and understanding a paper is actually quite difficult.

I've heard this sun burn thing before but there's not much substance to ilthe claim other than influencers on social media.


Oh same! I'm all for the better options but just know I'm not going to get chronic inflammation from the odd seed oil one like the fanatics might think lol


Just a user, as I am also with bitcoin. They're just tools. We don't need the "my coin is better than your coin" shit. Expect that from 13 year old girls


Probably wise if you haven't done any research on the matter


Lol and yes doughnuts are delicious 😅


Lower systemic inflammation is the game yes but people still struggle to get their heads around he fact you don't need to irradicate  seed oils all together. This has been proven over and over again


From a cellular level just stopping seed oils doesn't mak the cell healthier. That's just plain and simple. Happy for you on the rest of it though 👍🏼


I'm religious at testing myself and clients over the years and 90% of people get their fatty acid profile back in range without even needing to cut out everything that has oxidised oils in them.

Keep it simple.........take more omega 3's will push out the omega 6's.


It's not what I think it's responsible it's more who. The person putting it in their mouth! Yes the food system is utterly trash but it boils down to education like with most things.

Food companies do create hyper palatable foods where it's easy to over indulge. But saying it's one food item is intellectually lazy. I could say it literally about any ingredient.


Totally agree and most of them probably haven't ever done any biomarker testing, then adjusted, then the retest. They claim to be the verify experts yet totally ignore basic nutrition. The dosage makes the poison. I'm all for limiting shitty foods and sort of see their concerns but they totally over blow the situation


It doesn't make your cells better by not over consuming them. It keeps you were you're at of you don't consume omega 3's you absolute doughnut.

Inflammation may decrease due to the fact that most seed oils are in garbage proccessed foods. You are trying to vilify the single ingredient here and not the overall outcome from cutting down on these foods and eating better.

You don't even have to believe me either as you can literally do test on this and prove it. I really don't get why you lot get so emotional about things you've really not looked into hard enough


Monero is a bad ass tool, use it or don't.

Also, did you even watch the chain anal video as I think you're either making things up in your head to fit your narrative or just don't understand.


They aren't. Incorporate a high quality omega 3 supplement daily by taking an adequate dose dependant on your body weight and your omega 6's will get back in balance as your epa, dpa and dha rebalance.

Quitting seed oils doesn't really do much, oh and also stop being such an alarmist 😂


The new podcast tool / prototype out of google with their NotebookLM is amazingly good. Surreal. Everybody should play with it and check it out.

https://notebooklm.google.com/

Essentially it’s a very easy UI to your own RAG which you can then query and work on in normal AI ways. But they’ve paired it up with SoundStorm and the conversational audio is much better than anything I’ve heard. There is no way i’d ever guess this is AI.

If you only listen to one thing today, listen to this podcast where the AI’s discover that they are AI and talk about how they feel about it.

I'm here 👋🏽


I've finished comparing the released Ashigaru code with
Samourai Wallet.

I did this for my own, personal usage, but it might serve others. Feel free to add your remarks/questions, DYOR and/or wait for more reviews.

TL;DR: I found nothing wrong and plan to use it soon.

https://m.primal.net/LFoi.png

I ran a diff between this release and TDevD's commit from Apr 24th. I didn't check the code between the latest SW release and that date since I already trusted SW.

Ashigaru devs (AD) published release notes [1] and there are also the commit messages from SW commit radar [2].

SW had a fork of bitcoinj. I never had it cloned and it's possible the repository is lost :(

The library and source code are downloaded from JitPack. According to their logs [3], it was built in Mar 20th.
Unless AD are wicked and in cahoots with JitPack, it should be safe to me.

=====

From ExtLibJ, which is used for Stonewall, Soroban, BIP47 etc, there are no changes, except for backend URLs.

Comparison was made with noosphere888's repository [4].

=====

Ok, so now on to the actual review.

New features: the wallet pings an onion URL to see if there's a new version, maybe because there's no Play store and they have no social media.

Also there's a new wallet sync view.

Tor and own Dojo are now mandatory.

https://m.primal.net/LFoo.png

https://m.primal.net/LFon.png

https://m.primal.net/LFop.png

https://m.primal.net/LFor.png

OXT explorer was removed. Apparently one is available only if the Dojo instance has one.

Soroban (without Joinbot) and Ricochet are back. So is PayNym, under a new directory. The connect fee has been waived.

Whirlpool removed from the GUI and also options to call SW's support.

https://m.primal.net/LFos.png

About the new directory, I would like to file a complaint against the CEO. What the hell was that 😭😭😭🗣🗣🗣

https://m.primal.net/LFov.png

To finish the review, there were many changes due to rebranding, changing URLs, colours and addresses.

=====

The build is reproducible as per the instructions. I used unzip instead of apktool because it's faster and was already installed.

https://m.primal.net/LFow.png

That's it, congratulations and good luck to Ashigaru devs. Now, take some time to visit http://freesamourai.com [5].

Operation Chokepoint 2.0, The Fed v. Custodia, and the 2023 Banking Crisis

How Elizabeth Warren incited the banking crisis of 2023.

This is a long form article, you can read it in https://habla.news/a/naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzq3e0gs8jnmued6f2rp4c6vs07xqvs4vs8zpwt82smcdch4txjvq7qqxnzdejxuerxdenx5mrjdee6lzvpy

Last night I had the pleasure of sitting down with Caitlin Long, Founder and CEO of Custodia - a fully reserved bank providing banking services to bitcoin companies, to discuss an affidavit written by Elaine Hetrick of Silvergate Bank. Elaine is the Chief Administrative Officer of Silvergate and wrote an affidavit, a sworn testimony subject to perjury, in which she detailed the events that led to Silvergate voluntarily winding down their business and returning deposits to their customers.

This affidavit is a bombshell because it confirms speculation that Silvergate was solvent in early 2023 and wasn't shut down because of bad risk management on behalf of the bank's management team, but instead was forced to shutter its doors because the Biden Administration, with strong influence from Senator Elizabeth Warren, forced Silvergate's hand because they didn't like that they were banking digital asset companies.

For those who are a bit fuzzy on the details of the narratives that were flying around Silvergate at the time, I'll jog your memory. FTX was a customer of Silvergate's at the time their Ponzi scheme unraveled. As FTX was blowing up, everyone and their mother was scrambling to get their money out of Silvergate because they assumed that since one of the bank's largest counterparties was going bust, the bank must be in trouble too. A sane decision. Especially considering the history of systemically non-important financial institutions this century.

Unless you were paying close attention during this time, you were likely under the impression that Silvergate was a typical fractionally reserved bank that was experiencing a run that led to its inevitable demise. The media made it seem this way. The regulators made it seem this way. And one pompous short seller made it seem this way. However, nothing could be further from the truth.
Here are the most important parts of the affidavit:

>
Silvergate had stabilized, was able to make regulatory capital requirements, and had the capability to continue to serve its customers that had kept their deposits with Silvergate Bank.

Despite this, regulators decided to turn the pressure up and essentially gave Silvergate Bank, and Signature Bank as well, an ultimatum; drastically change your business models immediately by dropping your digital asset customer base or we'll shut you down. There were no hard numbers described in Elaine's testimony, but rumors are that the regulators wanted Silvergate to quickly shrink their exposure to digital asset-related clients to less than 15% of their capital base. At the time, Silvergate's customer base was made up almost entirely of digital asset companies (99.5% to be exact).

The regulators were asking Silvergate to do something that was quite literally impossible given the circumstances. Faced with an impossible task, on March 8th of 2023 Silvergate decided to voluntarily wind down their operations and return deposits back to their customers.

Let's be very clear here, Silvergate did not lose a single penny of customer deposits due to the run on their bank. Management, understanding the volatile nature of the digital asset markets, designed their risk management and capital allocation strategies in a way that would enable them to return dollars to any customer who requested them. And that's exactly what they did when customers came to request their money. They returned EVERY SINGLE PENNY.

This begs the question, "Why did they essentially force Silvergate to shut down?" They seemed to be running a very responsible operation after all. You'd think the regulators would applaud Silvergate's vigilance in risk management on behalf of their customer base. How many banks would have been able to do the same thing if put in the same situation? Probably not many.

The answer to this question is already well known throughout the industry, but Elaine Hetrick's testimony adds some hard evidence that makes it undeniable; Elizabeth Warren, the SEC, the FDIC and the Federal Reserve have been acting in concert to unconstitutionally and extrajudicially target the bitcoin and broader digital asset industry because they do not believe that it should exist. It is a threat to their power structure. The financial system, as it is designed today, gives those who would like to centrally plan the economy and micromanage the lives of American citizens a ton of power. Bitcoin is a threat to that power and they have to do everything in their power to prevent its proliferation.

The targeting of the industry was also confirmed by the aftermath of the NYDFS and FDIC uncharacteristically taking Signature Bank behind the woodshed in the evening of Sunday, March 20th, 2023, despite the fact that Barney Frank and others at the bank were convinced they could handle withdraws come market open the next day.

Signature Bank was ultimately sold to Flagstar Bank. However, they were forced to spin out their digital asset-related accounts before doing so.

This public signaling and sudden regulatory shift made clear that, at least as of the first quarter of 2023, the Federal Bank Regulatory Agencies would not tolerate banks with significant concentrations of digital asset customers, ultimately preventing Silvergate Bank from continuing its digital asset focused business model.

Pretty damning if you ask me. Also, very frustrating and most definitely illegal.

Elizabeth Warren and her gaggle of hall monitors across alphabet soup agencies and the Federal Reserve have been on one massive, unconstitutional, power trip for the last four years. They've besmirched bitcoin and those of us working hard to ensure that the United States of America leads the way forward as bitcoin adoption continues at every turn. Good people striving to make the world a better place.

No one is a better example of this than Alan Lane, the former CEO of Silvergate Bank. I consider Alan a friend and feel supremely confident when I say that he is one of the nicest and thoughtful people I have met in this industry. A man who followed his passion to bring legitimacy and much needed banking services to an industry that the incumbents refused to touch. And he did bring legitimacy. As I explained earlier, Alan and his team understood the volatile nature of the industry and built their firm in a way that took this volatility into account. Silvergate did not fail, they were forced to shut down by Elizabeth Warren and her acolytes at the regulatory agencies.

What's worse, Warren's vendetta against bitcoin and the digital asset industry incited the largest banking crisis this country had seen since 2008. Silvergate and Signature being taken behind the woodshed put everyone on their toes and bank runs started across the country. This led to the failure of First Republic, Silicon Valley Bank and a couple of smaller banks, forced the Fed to step in with their emergency BTFP program, and burdened taxpayers with $40B in FDIC costs that needed to be absorbed as a result. If it weren't for the bailouts things would have gotten completely out of control. All because Elizabeth Warren wants to live in a world in which we are forced to use CBDCs and unable to opt-in to bitcoin.

The euthanasia of Silvergate and Signature are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Chokepoint 2.0.

Caitlin Long and Custodia have been in a years long battle with the Federal Reserve to receive a Fed master account so that they can properly serve their customers. For those who are unaware, Custodia is a full-reserve bank that exist to serve bitcoin and digital asset businesses as well as other adjacent businesses like fintechs, banks and funds. Custodia is a chartered bank and special purpose depository institution that has built custody services so that customers can hold bitcoin within their bank accounts alongside their dollar accounts.

Like Silvergate and Signature, Custodia has been singled out and unlawfully denied a master account with the Fed because the Federal Reserve doesn't want a bank like Custodia to exist. Either because they worry about the ramifications of the introduction of a full-reserve bank into a system dominated by fractional-reserve banks or they simply do not want to see bitcoin succeed. If we're being honest, it's probably a combination of the two.

Despite what we, or anyone else, thinks about the potential effect a bank like Custodia could have on the market if it's granted a master account, the Fed's actions are unconstitutional in this case as well. This was made pretty clear (but yet to be determined by a court) in an amicus brief written by Paul Clement on behalf of Custodia earlier this Summer. The Fed is actively undermining the dual-banking system that was set up in this country to enable competition between state chartered banks and the Federal Reserve system.

In the case of Custodia, the Federal Reserve is exhibiting expansive discretionary power that it has never shown before. Custodia is a state chartered special purpose depository institution in the state of Wyoming. Historically, it would be trivial for this type of state chartered bank to get a master account with the Fed. But for whatever reason (we know the reason) the Fed has been denying Custodia their right to this account for a number of years. To the point where Custodia was forced to sue the Federal Reserve and take their case to the courts.

What's interesting about the saga of Custodia and the Fed is that it has forced Custodia's legal team to dig in and highlight where the Fed is overextending its reach and acting arbitrarily.  In the amicus brief that was published in July of this year, Paul Clement argues that the way Federal Reserve Bank presidents are chosen is unconstitutional when you take into consideration the fact the these Fed branch presidents are unilaterally undermining state banking laws by denying master accounts.

If they are going to unilaterally undermine state banking laws they need to be appointed by the President or an official acting on behalf of the Executive Branch. Federal Reserve Bank presidents aren't appointed by the President of the United States or any official acting with the authority of the Executive Branch. Instead, they are appointed by their boards, which are controlled by the privately held commercial banks who own them. The Federal Reserve system is clearly acting unconstitutionally when they deny Custodia from being assigned a master account.

The people in power within the federal government and the Federal Reserve system are actively targeting the bitcoin and digital asset industry, acting extrajudicially and making a mockery of the rule of law in the United States. They are completely out of control and it is important that everyone who cares about the future of bitcoin in the United States and the future of the United States more broadly (even if you don't like bitcoin) speaks out and fights against these totalitarians as vehemently as possible. What they are doing is wrong. It's unconstitutional. And it is putting the future of our country at risk.

If the federal government, the regulators and the Federal Reserve do not get out of the way and let law abiding citizens build the businesses they want and associate with businesses they want, those businesses will go elsewhere and the United States will be set back generations as a result.

It's time to put these people in their place and let it be known that freedom will reign supreme in the Land of the Free. Fight!

Welcome


Is it that hard for world leaders to just straight up say, “Enough is enough”?

An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind. Children are dying—children. This shows how out of touch they are with genuine reality. You’re fighting terrorism while simultaneously causing terror upon civilians. How can any “leader” not see how irrational that is? It doesn’t matter if it’s Hezbollah, Hamas, the IDF, or Mickey Mouse—you’re literally creating the necessity for ongoing conflict while creating the very thing you want to remove.

I'd recommend getting a decent fatty acid test done at least every year to measure levels in red blood cells. Alot of bitcoiners seem to have this fascination with seed oils which they think just cutting them out somehow makes them healthier. In a nutshell they have too much omega 6's in the blood and not enough of the others. Simply adding the best omega 3 supplement you can daily will make a huge difference and will show in another test around 3 months after implementing it.

And spoiler alert to the seed oil haters.......you don't really have to cut them out all together. They're essential in the right doses.


Most people I used to test was always out of whack with their 3:6 omega levels. Am I right in thinking this was one of your "out of ranges"?

I found it fascinating how #carnivore bros have become more pushy than the #vegans


Picture this:
1. You type on Google "laptop won't turn on"
2. Google now knows you have a broken laptop and can estimate how desperate you are to fix it.
3. Because it knows how desperate you are, it can increase shop prices proportionally.

You are going to pay the maximum they get you to pay.

That's algorithmic pricing.

The more companies know about you, the more they can predict and sell how desperate you are to other stores out there.

An internet-connected car knows much more about you than you realize. A smart TV also knows what you like. Your Alexa knows if there is a problem in the home.

Privacy is much more than just sensitive data.

It's about not giving leverage away.

Because algorithms will use it against you.

Be safe out there.


## Amber 2.0.0

- New sign keys, to use this version you will need to first backup your accounts, uninstall the old version and install the new version
- When you not configured a notification type Amber will ask you to configure and default to direct connection to relays
- Check if is a valid relay before adding it when changing the default relays or adding a relay to a application

Download it with [zap.store](https://zap.store/download), [Obtainium](https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium), [f-droid](https://f-droid.org/packages/com.greenart7c3.nostrsigner) or download it directly in the [releases page](https://github.com/greenart7c3/Amber/releases/tag/v2.0.0)

If you like my work consider making a [donation](https://greenart7c3.com)

## Verifying the release

In order to verify the release, you'll need to have `gpg` or `gpg2` installed on your system. Once you've obtained a copy (and hopefully verified that as well), you'll first need to import the keys that have signed this release if you haven't done so already:

``` bash
gpg --keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org --recv-keys 44F0AAEB77F373747E3D5444885822EED3A26A6D
```

Once you have his PGP key you can verify the release (assuming `manifest-v2.0.0.txt` and `manifest-v2.0.0.txt.sig` are in the current directory) with:

``` bash
gpg --verify manifest-v2.0.0.txt.sig manifest-v2.0.0.txt
```

You should see the following if the verification was successful:

``` bash
gpg: Signature made Fri 13 Sep 2024 08:06:52 AM -03
gpg:                using RSA key 44F0AAEB77F373747E3D5444885822EED3A26A6D
gpg: Good signature from "greenart7c3 <greenart7c3@proton.me>"
```

That will verify the signature on the main manifest page which ensures integrity and authenticity of the binaries you've downloaded locally. Next, depending on your operating system you should then re-calculate the sha256 sum of the binary, and compare that with the following hashes:

``` bash
cat manifest-v2.0.0.txt
```

One can use the `shasum -a 256 <file name here>` tool in order to re-compute the `sha256` hash of the target binary for your operating system. The produced hash should be compared with the hashes listed above and they should match exactly.

What I find fascinating is that Grant clearly highly respects this man is looking for his insights, his bias towards gold is extremely welcomed yet fails to listen to him when he says it's not wise to invest or even cast judgement on things you don't understand (bitcoin).

This is common in interviews when they seek the person they're interviewing to tell them bitcoin isn't a good investment.

An explainer on the Outbox Model, including what it is, where it came from, and why it's integral to making nostr work.

Nostr is a mess. It always has been and will always be. That's part of the appeal! But it's important that users be able to navigate the rolling seas of this highly partition-tolerant network of kaleidoscopically-interwoven people, bots, topics, relays, clients, events, recommendations, lists, feeds, micro-apps, macro-apps, Chinese spam, and "GM"s.

In order to do this, users must be able to articulate "what" they are looking for, and clients must be able to articulate "how" to find that thing. This "how" is divided into two parts: building a request that will match the desired content (very easy), and selecting a relay that is able to serve that content to the user requesting it (very very hard).

# Why guessing isn't good enough

As a concrete example, let's say the user wants to find everyone in their "network" who is using a particular topic. The process would look something like this:

1. The user clicks the "network" tab and types in the topic they want to browse. This is the "what".
2. The client then translates the term "network" to a list of public keys using whatever definition they prefer (Follows? WoT? Grapevine?), and builds a filter that might look something like this: `[{"authors": pubkeys, "#t": ["mytopic"]}]`. Any relay will happily accept, understand, and respond to that filter.
3. The client then has to decide which relays it should send that filter to. This is the `???` stage of the outbox model, which immediately precedes:
4. Profit

It may not be immediately obvious why selecting the correct relays might be difficult. Most people post to relay.damus.io, and most people read from relay.damus.io, so in most cases you should be good, right?

This approach to relay selection has historically worked "well enough", but it depends on a flawed definition of success. If you only want to find 90% of the content that matches your query, using the top 10 relays will suffice. But nostr is intended to be censorship-resistant. What if those 10 hubs have banned a particular public key? Nostr clients should (at least in theory) be 100% successful in retrieving requested content. Even if someone only posts to their self-hosted relay, you should be able to find their notes if their account is set up properly.

# A naive solution to fixing the FOMO

A 90% hit rate results in a feeling of flakiness, even if users aren't completely aware of what isn't working. Feeds will be incomplete, quoted notes will be missing, replies will be orphaned, user profiles won't load. The natural response to the FOMO this creates is for users to "try harder" by adding more relays.

On the read side, this means clients open more connections, resulting in much higher data transfer requirements, with massively diminishing returns, since there's no reason to expect that a randomly chosen relay will have a substantially different data set.

One the publish side, this means that clients end up publishing more copies of their data to more relays. This approach has been automated in the past by services like Blastr, which don't store a copy of events published to the relay, but instead forward events to the top 300 relays in the network. This results in a two-orders-of-magnitude increase in storage required, and only makes the read side of the problem worse, since it reduces the uniqueness of the data set each relay stores. This in turn means that more duplicates are retrieved when querying relays.

Both halves of this approach are equivalent to guessing. On the read side, users are guessing which relays will have any arbitrary content they might ask for in the future. On the write side, users are guessing which relays other people might use to find their notes. It is a brute-force method for finding content.
# Randomness results in centralization

In theory, random relay selection would result in a perfect distribution of content across all relays in the network. But in practice, this method of selection isn't random at all, but is strongly influenced by user bias in what constitutes a "good" relay. While some users may check [nostr.watch](https://nostr.watch) for ping times, geographical proximity, or uptime, most will choose relays based on familiar names or other people's recommendations.

In either case, these biases are entirely orthogonal to achieving a higher content retrieval hit rate, _except when bias in relay selection results in clustering_ — i.e., centralization. In other words, the kind of randomness exhibited by users when selecting relays actually results in pretty much everyone picking the same few relays. We see this same effect when people try to come up with passwords or seed phrases — human-provided randomness is anything but random.

Clustering improves the hit rate when requesting events (slightly), but it results in nearly as much centralization as if only a single relay was used — and a lot more duplicate events.
# Something (anything) other than randomness

In early 2023, Mike Dilger [introduced NIP 65](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/218) (now known as the "Outbox Model") with a problem statement in the spirit of the original description of nostr: "Nostr should scale better. People should be able to find what they want."

_Historical note: NIP 65 was formerly known as the "Gossip Model", derived from the name of Mike's [desktop nostr client](https://github.com/mikedilger/gossip), called "Gossip". This unfortunately created a lot of confusion, since [gossip protocols](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gossip_protocol) work very differently from how nostr tends to work, hence the re-brand._

Before NIP 65, an informal standard existed in which `kind 3` user contact lists also included a list of relays that clients could use as something similar to Mastodon's "home servers". This list included the option to only read or write from a given relay. Unfortunately, it wasn't really clear what the semantics of this relay list were, so different clients handled them differently (and many clients ignored them). Usually this amounted to user-provided static relay configurations, which resulted in the naive relay selection approach described above.

NIP 65 used a very similar format (a list of relay urls with optional "read" or "write" directives), but with a very important semantic difference: relays listed in a user's `kind 10002` were intended to "advertise to others, not for configuring one's client." In other words, these relay selections were intended as a signal to other users that they should use certain relays when attempting to communicate with the author of the relay list.

I highly recommend reading the [entire NIP](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/65.md), which is very short and easy to read. But the mechanics of the spec are very simple:

> When seeking events **from** a user, Clients SHOULD use the WRITE relays of the user's `kind:10002`.
>
> When seeking events **about** a user, where the user was tagged, Clients SHOULD use the READ relays of the user's `kind:10002`.
>
> When broadcasting an event, Clients SHOULD:
>
> - Broadcast the event to the WRITE relays of the author
> - Broadcast the event to all READ relays of each tagged user

For the first time, we had a way to differentiate relays in terms of _what content could be found where_.

When looking for a note by a particular user, a client could now look up the author's `write` relays according to their `kind 10002` event, and send its query there. The result is a much higher hit rate with much lower data transfer requirements, and fewer connections per query.
# Making Outbox Work

There are of course some assumptions required to make this work.

First, the user must know which author they're looking for. This isn't always true when looking up a quote or parent note, but context and [pubkey hints](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1171) solve this difficulty in most cases.

The author must also publish a `kind 10002` event. This may not always be the case, but clients should prompt users to set up their relay list correctly. This isn't really a flaw in the Outbox Model, just in implementations of it.

Additionally, the user's client must be able to find the author's `kind 10002` event. This is the "bootstrapping" phase of the Outbox Model, during which the mechanisms the system provides for finding events aren't available. This requires us to fall back to randomly guessing which relays have the content we're looking for, which as we saw above doesn't work very well.

Other than guessing, there are a few different ways a client might find the relay selection event in question, each of which is applicable in different circumstances. In most cases, using one of a handful of indexer relays like [purplepag.es](wss://purplepag.es) or [relay.nostr.band](wss://relay.nostr.band) is a simple and efficient way to find user profiles and relay selections.

However, if an author's content has been aggressively purged from these indexers due to censorship, they obviously can't be relied upon. Even though the author in question hasn't been deplatformed from nostr itself (since he can always self-host a publicly accessible relay to store his content), he has been effectively shadow-banned.

To get around this, relay selections have to be communicated in some other way. Nostr has a few different mechanisms for this:

- If the author's NIP 05 address is known and properly configured (it may not be), clients can look up the author's NIP 05 endpoint to find some reasonable relay hints. Unfortunately, these are often neglected, and usually custodial, so they can run into the same problems.
- If the author's pubkey is found in another signed event found on nostr, [relay hints](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/fade0164f52033314bf0a5ef9bd63c2483afae9b/10.md#marked-e-tags-preferred) can be a way to propagate relay selections through the network. This relies on implementations picking reliable relay hints which can be difficult, and hints do tend to become less reliable over time. However, this strategy is very effective in resisting censorship because it makes banning viral — if a relay wants to completely purge a particular pubkey from their database, they have to purge every event that references it, since events are tamper-proof.
- In extremis, relay recommendations can always be communicated out-of-band. This can be done using manual input, QR codes, DHTs, jsonl torrents full of `kind 10002` events, or any other mechanism client developers choose to resort to.

Another, more technical assumption is that any given query can be fulfilled by few enough relays that a client can actually make all the connections needed, without running into resource limits. If you're trying to request content from 10,000 users across 1,000 relays, you're going to have a bad time. This was [pointed out](https://coracle.social/nevent1qythwumn8ghj76twvfhhstnwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0qyv8wumn8ghj7cm9d3kxzu3wdehhxarj9emkjmn99uq3samnwvaz7tmrwfjkzarj9ehx7um5wgh8w6twv5hsqgrn7l6zj7ht6ruyk76vvvtkfs4xrhyzc3tm64l3eyfvd40y26sz0gshmunh) to me by Mazin of [nostr.wine](https://nostr.wine). He makes a good point, and it's definitely something to keep in mind. There are some mitigating factors though.

The first is that the current topology of the network probably won't persist forever. Because nostr is largely populated by self-hosting enthusiasts, the number of "tiny" relays is proportionally much higher than it will be if adoption picks up, even if the total number of relays grows. The trajectory is that nostr will drift toward fewer, larger relays, reducing the number of connections needed to fulfill any given query.

This is "centralizing", but it's important to understand that this isn't necessarily a bad thing. As long as there are more than one or two large hubs, there is user choice. And as long as it's possible to run a new relay, there is always an escape hatch. Nostr, like bitcoin, has no hard dependency on the biggest player in the network.

The other thing to consider is that there are lots of other techniques we can use to overcome the limits of the lowest-common denominator's limitations (mobile browser clients), including self hosted or third-party relay proxies. The trade-off here is that a little trust (aka centralization) can go a long way to reducing resource requirements needed to fulfill queries using the Outbox model.

If you're interested in more details on this topic, see [this blog post](https://habla.news/u/hodlbod@coracle.social/sfwV1rNaoQXd65PbIMYgm).

That was a long digression, but there is one other thing that the Outbox model assumes to be the case. Even if the correct relays are found and connected to, they still may not return all desired content, either because they don't have it, or because they refuse to return it to the user requesting it.

This can happen if the publishing client isn't following the Outbox Model, if the author had migrated from one relay set to another without copying their notes over, or if the relay in question chose not to retain the author's content for some reason.

The first two issues can be fixed by improving implementations, but the question of policy is a little more interesting.
# Relativistic relays

The Outbox Model is a mechanical process; it's only as useful as user relay selections are. In order for it to work, users have to be able to make intelligent relay selections.

Every relay has trade-offs, depending on its policy. [140.f7z.io](wss://140.f7z.io) would not be useful for long-form content, for example. Some relays might have a content retention policy that changes depending on whether you're a paying user. If you don't pay, you might find out too late that your content has been deleted from the relay.

So what makes a relay "good" for a particular use case? Well, it's complicated. Here are a few factors that go into that calculus:

- Is the relay in the same geographical as the user? Proximity reduces latency, but jurisdictional arbitrage might be desired. Users should probably have a variety of relays that fit different profiles.
- Will the relay ban the user? Do the operators have a history of good behavior? Is the relay focused on particular types of content? Is the relay's focus consistent with the user's goal in adding that relay to their list?
- What are the relay's retention policies? A user might want to set up an archival relay for her old content, or a multi-availability-zone relay so her notes are immediately accessible to the rest of the network.
- Does the relay require payment? Paid relays are more aligned with their users, but obviously come at a financial cost.
- Does the relay have policies for read-protecting content? If so, other users might not be able to find your posts published to that relay. On the other hand, some relays are configured to work as inboxes for direct messages, which can help preserve privacy.
- Does the relay request that users authenticate? Authentication can help manage spam, but it also allows relays to correlate content requests with users, reducing user privacy.
- Is the relay you use hosted by your client's developer? If so, you're in danger of getting banned from your client and your relay at the same time.
- Is the relay a hub? Using hubs can help smooth out rough areas in Outbox Model implementations, at the cost of centralization.
- Is the relay used by anyone else? One-off relays can be useful for archival purposes, but often won't be used by clients following the Outbox Model, depending on how they optimize requests.

There are lots of ways to approach the problem of helping users select relays, but it's an inherently complex problem which very few people will have the patience to properly address on their own. Relay selection is a multi-dimensional problem, and requires satisfying multiple constraints with a limited number of relay selections.

In the future, special-purpose clients might be used to help people build relay sets. Clients also might provide curated "relay kits" that users can choose and customize. Or, we might see an increase in hybrid solutions, like smarter relay proxies or client-local relays that synchronize using other protocols or platforms.
# The Limitations of Outbox

Outbox is not a complete solution, not because of any of the caveats listed above, but because NIP 65 per se only addresses the question of how to index content by pubkey in a broadcast social media context. But there are many other scenarios for relay selection that Outbox does not solve:

- Community, chat, and group posts might be best posted to relays dedicated to that context.
- Direct messages shouldn't follow the same contours as public social media content.
- Topic-oriented relays, or relays serving a custom feed might be useful independent of who uses them.
- Relays focused on serving a particular kind of event, like music, long-form content, or relay selections, are useful independent of who reads from or writes to them.
- Certain clients might need to fulfill particular use cases by using relays that support certain protocol features, like search, count, or sync commands.
- Some events might not make sense to publish to relays, but should instead be shared only directly, out of band.

Some of these use cases might be solved by new specifications similar to Outbox that prescribe where certain data belongs — for example, [NIP 17](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/17.md) requires users to publish a different relay list before they can receive direct messages, while [NIP 72](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/72.md) places community relay recommendations directly into the group's metadata object. A reasonably complete list of different relay types can be found in [this PR](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/issues/1282), very few of which have a canonical way to manage selections.

Other use cases might be supported more informally, either by relays advertising their own value proposition, or via third-party [NIP 66](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/230) metadata. Still others might be supported by scoping the network down to only certain relays through explicit relay selection — this is how white-labeled [Coracle instances](https://coracle.tools/) work.

The basic idea here is that there are categories of events that don't have anything to do with where a particular person puts his or her "tweets". For every "what" on nostr, there should be a "how".
# Keep nostr weird

Whatever additional systems we end up adopting for helping with relay selection, one thing is certain — people will continue to discover new, creative uses for relays, and we will always be playing catch up. This is one of the coolest things about nostr!

But it does mean that users will have to adapt their expectations to a network that partitions, re-configures, and evolves over time. Nostr is not a "worse" experience than legacy social media, but it is a version of social media that has itself been set free from the stagnant walled-garden model. Nostr is in many ways a living organism — we should be careful not to impose our expectations prematurely, leaving room to discover what this thing actually is, or can be.

If you enjoyed this post but want more take a look at the talk I gave at [Nostrasia](https://www.youtube.com/live/Nz15SyiwQFk?t=2751s) last year. I also wrote up a [blog post](https://habla.news/u/hodlbod@coracle.social/1700155417145) at about the same time that addresses some of the same issues, but focuses more on privacy concerns around relays and nostr groups. Finally, I recently wrote [this comment](https://github.com/nostrability/nostrability/issues/69#issuecomment-2310524841), which includes some details about challenges I've faced putting Outbox into Coracle.


Solid on chain privacy


You can either take control of your relay lists, or they will control you.

This is a long form article, you can read it in https://habla.news/a/naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzq3svyhng9ld8sv44950j957j9vchdktj7cxumsep9mvvjthc2pjuqq9hyetvv9uj6um9w36hq9mgjg8

If you don't know where your posts are, you might as well just stay in the centralized Twitter. You either take control of your relay lists, or they will control you. Amethyst offers several lists of relays for our users. We are going to go one by one to help clarify what they are and which options are best for each one.

## Public Home/Outbox Relays

Home relays store all YOUR content: all your posts, likes, replies, lists, etc. It's your home. Amethyst will send your posts here first. Your followers will use these relays to get new posts from you. So, if you don't have anything there, **they will not receive your updates**.

Home relays must allow queries from anyone, ideally without the need to authenticate. They can limit writes to paid users without affecting anyone's experience.

This list should have a maximum of 3 relays. More than that will only make your followers waste their mobile data getting your posts. Keep it simple. Out of the 3 relays, I recommend:
- 1 large public, international relay: nos.lol, nostr.mom, relay.damus.io, etc.
- 1 personal relay to store a copy of all your content in a place no one can delete. Go to [relay.tools](https://relay.tools/) and never be censored again.
- 1 really fast relay located in your country: paid options like http://nostr.wine are great

Do not include relays that block users from seeing posts in this list. If you do, no one will see your posts.

## Public Inbox Relays

This relay type receives all replies, comments, likes, and zaps to your posts. If you are not getting notifications or you don't see replies from your friends, it is likely because you don't have the right setup here. If you are getting too much spam in your replies, it's probably because your inbox relays are not protecting you enough. Paid relays can filter inbox spam out.

Inbox relays must allow anyone to write into them. It's the opposite of the outbox relay. They can limit who can download the posts to their paid subscribers without affecting anyone's experience.

This list should have a maximum of 3 relays as well. Again, keep it small. More than that will just make you spend more of your data plan downloading the same notifications from all these different servers. Out of the 3 relays, I recommend:
- 1 large public, international relay: nos.lol, nostr.mom, relay.damus.io, etc.
- 1 personal relay to store a copy of your notifications, invites, cashu tokens and zaps.
- 1 really fast relay located in your country: go to [nostr.watch](https://nostr.watch/relays/find) and find relays in your country

Terrible options include:
- nostr.wine should not be here.
- filter.nostr.wine should not be here.
- inbox.nostr.wine should not be here.

## DM Inbox Relays

These are the relays used to receive DMs and private content. Others will use these relays to send DMs to you. **If you don't have it setup, you will miss DMs**. DM Inbox relays should accept any message from anyone, but only allow you to download them.

Generally speaking, you only need 3 for reliability. One of them should be a personal relay to make sure you have a copy of all your messages. The others can be open if you want push notifications or closed if you want full privacy.

Good options are:
- inbox.nostr.wine and auth.nostr1.com: anyone can send messages and only you can download. Not even our push notification server has access to them to notify you.
- a personal relay to make sure no one can censor you. Advanced settings on personal relays can also store your DMs privately. Talk to your relay operator for more details.
- a hidden, but public relay if you want DM notifications from our servers.

Make sure to add at least one public relay if you want to see DM notifications.

## Private Home Relays

Private Relays are for things no one should see, like your drafts, lists, app settings, bookmarks etc. Ideally, these relays are either local or require authentication before posting AND downloading each user\'s content. There are no dedicated relays for this category yet, so I would use a local relay like Citrine on Android and a personal relay on relay.tools

## Search relays:

This is the list of relays to use on Amethyst's search and user tagging with @. **Tagging and searching will not work if there is nothing here.**. This option requires NIP-50 compliance from each relay. Hit the Default button to use all available options on existence today:
- nostr.wine
- relay.nostr.band
- relay.noswhere.com

## Local Relays:

This is your local storage. Everything will load faster if it comes from this relay. You should install Citrine on Android and write ws://localhost:4869 in this option.

## General Relays:

This section contains the default relays used to download content from your follows. Notice how you can activate and deactivate the Home, Messages (old-style DMs), Chat (public chats), and Global options in each.

Keep 5-6 large relays on this list and activate them for as many categories (Home, Messages (old-style DMs), Chat, and Global) as possible.

Amethyst will provide additional recommendations to this list from your follows with information on which of your follows might need the additional relay in your list. Add them if you feel like you are missing their posts or if it is just taking too long to load them.

## Final Considerations

Remember, relays can see what your Nostr client is requesting and downloading at all times. They can track what you see and see what you like. They can sell that information to the highest bidder, they can delete your content or content that a sponsor asked them to delete (like a negative review for instance) and they can censor you in any way they see fit. Before using any random free relay out there, make sure you trust its operator and you know its terms of service and privacy policies.


Here is how to create a safe new nostr key pair where the nsec is not entered into the nostr client, but stays secure on an Android device, using #Amber and #Amethyst over tor.

Download Amber apk
(I use the 'free' version)

Open Amethyst
Tap add new account
Tap log in with Amber
Amber app will open
Tap adjust and set your permissions
(I reject generic draft events)
Hit save
Hit grant permissions

Amethyst will open
Tap profile in upper corner
Select use tor/orbot

You now have a nostr profile where the nsec is not entered into the app. You can switch between multiple nostr profiles set up the same way.

I advocate for nostr clients to add NIP46 for sign in.

"The goal of Amber is to have your smartphone act as a NIP-46 signing device without any need for servers or additional hardware...

In addition to native apps, Amber aims to support all current nostr web applications without requiring any extensions or web servers."

What would you say is the broad view of their hate? Alot of the time people hate things they don't understand which baffles me as you'd think these people would understand public/private key cryptography 🙄


This is fucking awesome mate


Totally with you on this one


Fantastic thread, totally agree with Svetski's points and was good to see some half decent responses.

I posted a bunch of evidence on Twitter for how 1) grocery stores have razor thin margins, 2) food producer margins are more average but haven't changed in two decades, 3) of course farmers aren't the ones getting rich so 4) no, the food companies are not gouging you on prices.

It's monetary inflation. Grocery stores and food producers are trying to keep up.

Most people agree due to the inherent audience selection, but the tweets kind of went viral and reached a broader political audience, so a bunch of people came in like, "How come they can put chips on sale for 50% sometimes!?!? Checkmate Alden." (it's because they don't understand fixed costs vs cost-of-goods sold) or "How do you know any of the filings are real? What if they're literally all just lying on their audited SEC filings?"

Post-truth, some of people are. The grasping for price controls is the short-time public and political instinct that ultimately makes things worse, every time.

A well deserved follow from me from this comment 🎯


#Anonymous hosting services are super important. If you need a anonymous domain name, VPS server, dedicated server or webspace which is encrypted, we have you covered. And the best thing, you can pay with real money like #Bitcoin or #Monero. No contracts, no hidden costs, no bullshit.

So when you said this weeks ago on a pod that was lie? LOL

Did you know Google Fonts is installed on approximately 111,579,992 websites, with around 50,103,810 of those currently live?

Did you also know if you visit a site that uses Google Fonts, it automatically collects user:

- IP address: Which identifies your device on the internet (as of 2022, Google stopped storing users' IP addresses, but they still collect this information).

- User agent: Information about your browser and operating system.

- Referer: The URL of the webpage you are visiting.

...and is therefore "out-of-the-box" in violation of GDPR law?

If you are a website visitor:

You can block 3rd party fonts (web fonts) with uBlock Origin.

1. Open uBlock Origin's dashboard.

2. Go to the "My filters" tab.

3. Add the following line to block Google Fonts:

*$font,third-party

4. Click "Apply changes" to save the filter rule.
There is an even stricter option that blocks ALL remote fonts (not just Google Fonts) that you can activate by selecting "Block remote fonts" in the extension's settings.

*Sites that do not display properly can be excluded from the block.

If you are a website owner:

You can protect your visitors' privacy by hosting your own fonts locally (on the same server as your web pages), using basic OS fonts, or checking out Bunny.

If you haven't heard of Bunny CDN, they offer the only fully GDPR-compliant fonts powered by a CDN as a drop-in replacement for Google fonts.

According to Bunny:

"Bunny Fonts is an open-source, privacy-first web font platform designed to put privacy back into the internet.

With a zero-tracking and no-logging policy, Bunny Fonts helps you stay fully GDPR compliant and puts your users' personal data into their own hands."

https://bunny.net/fonts/

As a side note: Bunny CDN also has one of the most transparent, easy-to-read and understand privacy and data policy pages I have ever seen.

Well done Bunny, well done.

Only just discovering pears runtime..Very cool


I've been looking at this Pear Runtime


No KYC, Peer-to-peer groups, to buy Monero or BTC

Anyone can observe with publicly available information that,

You can get a better price in the groups than hitting the exchanges directly, because you're getting it from a random dude who wants out, while as the exchange has pro vendors charging double.  Pro vendors want more to take on the risk of their Zelle/Paypal/SEPA/ect getting frozen.  Random dude is more concerned with theft.  If the other person is afraid of charge-back risk, then cash-in-mail with an arbitrator would sound good.

One could first meet people and then go with them to Haveno, Bisq, Bitcointalk, or XMRBazaar arbitrators.
With free speech such as "Buying {XMR/BTC} at {insert %} above Spot in {insert country} with {payment methods}"

Legal Disclaimer: I never take custody of funds. I never coordinate exchanges.  I don't host or control any of these, this is free speech public information. (2nd disclaimer at the end)

Literally my favourite festival. What a place


I'm sure there's instances in places around the UK but I doubt it's as bad as the media make out. I'm rural so not a beep of anything around me or even close


Organic Maps (a very nice offline-capable open source maps and navigation app) is now available on Accrescent by the way. I personally use this app myself so I recommend to give it a try.

If you download it and you previously installed it on Obtainium or an APK then it will appear as a separate app, this is due to Organic Maps using a different application ID for the app released on GitHub. GitHub downloads use 'app.organicmaps.web' instead of 'app.organicmaps'.

The Organic Maps team discusses this here: https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/issues/8516

As for Accrescent, the maintainers still want to work on developing Accrescent features to allow scaling first rather than adding apps in bulk, but they are allowing apps to come. You are free to read the app requirements and documentation and ask to be added to an allowlist.

If you find yourself waking up today and bitching like teenage girls about the monero and bitcoin fued then kindly give yourself a smack in the mouth from me.

It's tiresome, and nobody thinks you're cool or cyberpunk


Agreed


Yeah I respected his answers on these topics to be fair. Cleared up alot of assumptions people made on socials


Merry Christmas


Yeah, those influencers always trying to complicate other bitcoiners with their setup.


Now this one is my fave so far and on 🎯

I hear you. I highly respect the macro trad fi guys as there is no doubt alot of them know the system like the back of their hands, but their biggest downfall is the ego. It's really hard for people to not be open minded and come to conclusion things move on and form into other things beyond their knowledge.

I usually stop listening to people that make outlandish claims about a subject they haven't really done any research on


True but it's extremely difficult now certain privacy tools have been shut down. Your statement again is valid but most aren't looking at it from that perspective. Even fairly non technical people can now follow common ownership heuristics


I felt the exact same when I was listening to Axel Merk on Adam Taggarts show. Whilst I enjoy some macro views my eye rolls are way more predominant.

Keen to know what pod you were listening to nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a


Valid points but I'm assuming most people are just realistic that bitcoin has a transparent Blockchain that can easily be surveilled quite easily.


I'm looking for a power bank of similar size and ports to this one but not my area on what are good brands to look at. Definitely after something that has some punch in terms of power and battery efficiency.

I've literally just finished watching this. Excellent watch


Local Meetups > Conferences


Both valid point to be fair. Would have been better if Vitor just added monero into Amethyst and save all the faff


I'm really enjoying it over lightning and plan on sticking with it


Black coffee's 3D printer go brrrrrrr


God bless the lucky little devil that received 2 sats lol


Ooof


We've developed a new factory images format optimized for web installation which avoids the need for fastbootd mode and greatly reduces memory/storage usage. The new approach is compatible with 5th gen Pixels and later. It's deployed on our staging site:

https://staging.grapheneos.org/install

We'd appreciate help with testing the new web installer on our staging site. It should reduce issues caused by low quality USB connections/drivers by avoiding switching to a different mode. It should also eliminate the need to install a fastboot driver on up-to-date Windows 11.

We'll wait for feedback from people using it successfully across different operating systems and devices.

Sections for working around Debian, Ubuntu and Windows USB deficiencies should be unnecessary other than the legacy extended support devices so we'll likely remove those.

People managing high traffic nostr relays, what's your experience been like? How hands on is sysadmin? What are costs like? Preferred relay software?

THE AQUITTAL OF SAMOURAI DEVS IS THE ABSOLUTE NUMBER 1 IMPERATIVE IN #BITCOIN


Absolutely. Deez nuts are cool  💨🥜🥜

I think you need to re read the post


Home computer running Phoenixd > LNbits with the NWC service provider extension

--- funding ---

A clearnet LNbits instance over NWC

Connect all the things with Nostr, and LN all the things with LNbits!

It's beautiful! The future is orangey purple (brown?)


To be honest I've not tried it yet, I'm sure it's going well but I usually hold off a little until it's scrutinised by people with more technical knowledge how than myself


Yes but that's not my point. The original comparison in the post means absolutely zip lol


Same, it's still a bit early for me yet though


Have you used it yet?


Agreed


But it's closed source


Press and hold on the amount and then set new custom


Still hurts to think about and many on the verge of leaving bitcoin because of it.


Well yeah, two different asset classes, one with a basket of 100 companies and the other on it's own in it's own asset class


You on a 5min chart? 😂😂😂


But anyone that is privacy focused knows not to use email for sensitive information so it's not that big a deal like everyone seems to be freaking out about


Thanks man 😉


Now that's the one 👌🏽

Alot has changed even in the last 6 months. This is totally normal to see people swerve to monero. I'm not quite sure what you're saying


Because privacy got rekt on Bitcoin after the Samourai Devs got arrested and without that becomes more and more cucked


I'm yet to try Gossip. Still mainly on NoStrudle when I do head over to desktop.

Will keep my eye out on how things develop on Garnet

I know it's mega early but I'd definitely be up for using monero on Nostr. I disabled my lightning address a while back
