Where can I drop you guest suggestions for Mr. O? I directed some notes at you here on nostr with a guest suggestion, not sure if received, but I just thought of another one.
Not that the current ones aren't any good, f.i. I do like Kaminska's reasonable outsiders view on this one. I did however disagree with the part about Europe's future economy as a Disneyland, thats not doing justice to the massive tech and component industry and engineering base that is still present in Germany, Netherlands, France and to some extent Italy. (Have to admit: Its future is massively undercut by EU's retarded energy policy and population decline, while EuroDisney future looks less spotty)
Peter, how is your Dutch? I think enough English interjected to figure out what he is saying.

Would make for an interesting guest I think?
He's a bitcoiner for some years already, and his character and other interests make him stand out from most (ex-)footballers.

Is there a way to mute keywords in embedded content? nostr:nprofile1qqsyvrp9u6p0mfur9dfdru3d853tx9mdjuhkphxuxgfwmryja7zsvhqpzamhxue69uhhv6t5daezumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcscpyug
Great song! Through my NIP-05 identifier this song has now been officially recommended by nostr.com and the Nostr corporation.

I'm in a catch 22 now, I can't nutzap it into existence until you code nutzaps in Amethyst into existence. Hope the IMMEASURABLE opportunity costs of not having nutzaps will force your hand...
Cool, i now have a nostr.com nip-05! Thanks nostr:nprofile1qqswnep8vjgrwjsd4am4nl2lgaw7lahlhxc0chaf3jgzkh6t9l3mhgspzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcrunmm0
I would prefer 2-note-threads like:
'1) HERE IS MY LONG STORY ABOUT Y'
'2) LONG STORY Y'
over single 'LONG STORY Y ALL AT ONCE' notes. This for readability and ignorability.
Agree that anything over 2 notes is needless complication
Expected lifetime, or end of maintenance or planned shutdown date.
Probably specified nowhere yet at mints, but I think ecash and mints are by nature fleeting, and such a mechanism should probably exist.
Maybe some sort of web of trust score, or previous record of mint manager if available
I think it will stay this way for some time still, then it will get better because of better tools (like tailored DVMs that now popup).
Then if Nostr popularity picks up because of its special qualities it will get worse again.
Most people will use Nostr to emulate the current social networks, maybe even create exxagarated versions with addictions feeding tools (like tailored DVMs that now popup)
Chaums ecash did not fly at least in part because nobody had solved the unconfiscatable, scarce digital commodity problem, there were no reliable sources of value on computers.
That Bitcoin and Lightning were invented makes dipping in and out of ecash possible, and makes Chaumian ecash suddenly a useful tool and solution for different problems than BTC and LN.
Its IMO (maybe even in its current highly beta state) at the very least useful for local meatspace or trusted networks where you have small transactions, interactions and need to keep score. Caution obviously should be taken with it, balances kept low and temporary and trust (between mint&user) is necessary and not minimized in chaumian ecash. Even with its drawbacks I think it could power the thriving of circular economies, it's quite a good replacement for normal cash or (trad)Bank-transactions.
Maybe a bad analogy could help illustrate: if you have an induction furnace and an oven for cooking your meals inside in a safe, reliable and comfortable way where only major fuckups get you burned, you might still want to add a barbecue. Although its harder to get the meal right, you then have to be outside and are more likely to get burned or get wet a BBQ is still not a useless tool. I think its clear whats what in the analogy? For the right job, circumstances, and with proper handling, something which is otherwise not very good can be a delightful tool.
Might be that induction devices are crappy and clunky because of the manufacturers standard fiat mindset of cost reduction.
Regardin clunky, to bring it back to ecash, with all its drawbacks, it could be a very smooth payment method. Where lots of internet payment methods bring a lot of clunkiness, like the elaborate but unsafe credit card authorisation or all the blockchain or node-related mess of other cryptopayments.
Also, what is a likely higher-order effect of regularly sending text-strings which represent monetary value:
[ ] more focus on encrypted and private communication
[ ] less focus on encrypted and private communication
Ecash is the purest/leanest form of money as data. It can probably not get any leaner than just a text string.
Trust without guards or third parties is central to many relations (also over the internet) where value is exchanged, for example any provider-user relation is inherently (partly) trustbased. Blinded Ecash can be an improvement of the risk you face in these relations, also compared to solutions using traditional banking payments.
Because of the points above, and for many other reasons, the payment solutions possible through ecash can be swifter, more private, less burdensome in resources, bigger in transaction throughput than a.o. things like Lightning network, ApplePay, Visa/mastercard
Ecash isn't so much a store of value, but it is up there with the best medium of exchange.
I don't know, maybe they don't have a public figurehead or foundation with a standing place they could hound down? Oh no wait, they do have that and more!
Wouldn't it be better to set some arbitrary fixed limits to how many follows are possible, as that's way easier to implement for all clients, smaller for relays to save, which will give better and more predictable behaviour of nostr as social mediain general.
(Arbitrary fixed limits is how Bitcoin and twitter got their success)
What if you click the "pending X sats" ( with refresh symbol)? It will show if this ecash value is still pending (not spent or at least not received)
Most likely possibility: did you (by accident) create an ecash-token of 15000 (e)sats? If thats the case you can click the outgoing '15000 Ecash' under 'History', it will open a popup with QR, (the ecash-token) click 'copy' to copy a cashu textstring, and 'close' to close the popup.
Then click 'receive' in mainscreen and paste the cashu textstring into the textbox and click 'receive' to redeem the token in your own wallet
I think my tips for brisceaux could also solve it for you, see Note:
nostr:nevent1qqsr2fpd62g6q2p3wvpgesm0j8wt692p26rtluw9pespellfj67edlqppamhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5pzqdx4rsptqm88mm0rxseeedpjdakf7snjffjmnyjmgcx4mx8qjc23qvzqqqqqqyevyx32
No, I don't think it automatically creates an ecash token. However as an introduction to a new app like cashu.me takes some getting used to, and will probably involve some messing around, you can create an ecash token without being conscious about it, and as soon as a token is created its value will be deducted from your balance, which can be quite confusing. I think something like that happened
I'm sorry but I think your statement is the distraction and the waste of time.
Ecash is not only cool, but improves privacy, transaction success and reduces entrance costs of Lightning. Like being able to run a LN Node on a RPi was, this is another paradigm shift in improving decentralisation and lowering friction for money transaction.
Anyone who feels comfortable with that risk, because of his measures for anonymisation of the mint ownership, or his expectations of profit, or because he feels he is legally covered. Other reasons could be ignorance or unawareness of the risk, or for activism. Even apart from the last one I think we get plenty of mints.
Because of ecash characteristics, with at least some trust involved, and it just being text there is plenty of ways you can disguise your mint and you would need to have total communication crackdown to prevent transactions.
Even though its technically not a layer of Bitcoin, anything that can reduce the load of transactions on Bitcoin like cashu could do is important and not a distraction IMO
From what I understand of Nostr and apps in general (which is not a lot) and from what I see connecting through Tor, I think this makes sense:
nostr:nevent1qqst5qe2ff477l9lu4ms6xkyxurg7qkye5m7wdudnddhl8jhl3pd5tgpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejsygxsm6lelvfda7qlg0tud9pfhduysy4vrexj65azqtdk4tr75j6xdspsgqqqqqqslsu9zc
Maybe we just aren't there yet in Nostr development, the point at which you can and should develop a good local cache
I thought it was very sensitive, not sure if still the case. You could get full access to someones wallet and funds when you had his wallet ID. Since then some login, superuser and password functionality has been added, but I m not sure this locks wallets/funds.
Circusses (as in bread & circusses, "are you not entertained?")
Its why normal, lazy people give up on nostr: here you need to keep looking, keep refreshing your follows, go out of your way to continually have fresh, exciting, emoting content to look at. Facebook, Twitter, INSTA shove whatever they think entertains you in your face through their algos
I was thinking the same, great video, would like to send this to close relations. However if i send this to my parents who are not fluent in English, they would get stranded on language like 'broker' or 'ledger'. So I second you in asking for various language versions!
Maybe Lyn can make a zap poll with a couple of translation languages? That way you can figure out interest for a specific language, and she immediately gets funding to make it happen or put out some translation bounties?

I agree, nostr should by default work well over a bad connection, like a minimal Tor-connection. Things like profiles, names ( instead of npubs), avatar pics should just display (maybe by caching this on device). If that means (further) limiting Max follows, name size, avatar size etc. for this to work, so be it. Arbitrary limitations are necessary anyway, otherwise all implementations will vary to wildly to be interoperable
Hello I use your app and LN address service, I think they are great, thank you for making them!
However, I was told that when someone tries to zap me, they get an error. Its probably because of/ only when tried through Tor and maybe related to Cloudflare
Tried to zap you, but also got an error, I DMed you about both errorss
