 Just have to accept your fate 
 Lol you'd make the same at like Jimmy Johns 
 Basically all freedom tech hinges on if we can get users to hold keys. 
 In some ways, yes. Privacy works by hiding in the crowd. The larger the crowd the better

 Yeah that'd be the best option. You can just have 2 channels open as well 
 Blue sky doesn't seem any better than Twitter or mastodon. Someone else is still in control of your account.

 I started on one for mutiny nwc forever ago. Maybe time to bring that back 🤔 
 You need a comma after the closing " for the npubs 
 like this:

{
 "names": {
    "uno": "hexpub",
    'earth": "hexpub",
  }
}

here's mine if that helps too:

 Tim pool wants a cyber attack sooooo bad. the more he talks, the dumber he looks.  
 He went to far into the "I'm controversial" camp 
 msats were a mistake 
 Lightning, Fedimint, cashu 
 Esats are actually msats 😭

 No, self hosting is mainly so you have less trust in us.

 Based af 
 "Birds aren't real" is a psyop so we don't replace our phones with pigeon based communication 
 It can do header validation but not yet able to run it as a full node. Probably pretty far away from that 
 Schnorr sigs not using RFC6979 is so annoying. Would be able to do so many more things determistically 😭 
 Can always count on you 
 I know you can, but basically every implementation today just generates a random nonce so you can't rely on them being able to do sigs with specific nonces. 
 It's not the standard though so you can't rely on it 
 That anon zap be anyone 
 Defined the existing scheme here, hopefully can spark some debate on how to do derive the keys properly, however idk if there's a way to do with it without access to the private key.

 Better question, how do people do private zaps with a NIP-07 extension? Seems like you need access to the private key to generate the shared secret nostr:note14vfr0se8q8l5fc59pa25y7g8jwhmpfztfjq68vxyvp2rv5jlqq2sacjlve 
 Did private zaps ever get documented anywhere?

 Happy birthday homie 
 I've dreamt of sending signal messages from my laptop 
 Is "tweet" still a protected term now that twitter is dead?  
 I'll use tweet until the day I die 
 Working in open source feels so magical sometimes.

Find a small incompatibility between rust-nostr and alby and in a few minutes, I'm able to fix it on both ends so both libraries are more resilient and compatible going in the future.
