You can now reach my WOT-Relay with PKDNS. FUCK ICANN!

Still can't zap you from WoS :)
and I can't zap you ๐ ๐
I will check my channels.
Well, sometimes the zap goes through. Sometimes not. My channel to WoS ist stable and balanced. Something is wrong :-D
I gave up on running ligthining nodes just to Zap people here on Nostr. I'm not using ligthining for anything else. I'll accept the risk if WoS loses a few of my sats.
That's exactly my position. I just shut down my channels and now I just move small amounts of BTC into a custodial wallet as needed. I never keep more than 50k sats in the lightning wallet as I only use it for zaps. The rest is kept on-chain. I just don't transact enough volume to justify the expense of running my own node.
I hear you, but for me, the cost of maintaining self-custody is a small price to pay for true freedom. Depending on third parties for control over your assets is essentially sacrificing freedom for convenience.
I take the liberty of saying these thoughts out loud again and again, as it could be important for others who think like me and need to know about this fact.
I generally agree, and I maintain my BTC in a self-custodial wallet, but for the small amount of sats I use for zaps, it just doesn't make sense to pay for my own lightning node. The monthly expense usually exceeds the amount of my transactions. If I used lightning for more than zaps, and transacted over 100k sats per month, running my own node would make sense, but that's just not my situation.
+1. Plus, Nostr can sometimes feel like a targeted ads platform for certain Lightning ecosystems. Very few people are willing to admit that running a Lightning node to transact just a few thousand sats per month actually sacrifices not only convenience but also time and hard-earned sats.
To be clear, nostr:nprofile1qqsq4hm8gawvch9y2m7nqghydaw4ym4s4a3gf0u9f9xqm4uy0ul9qvcpremhxue69uhkstnrdajxjmn8v9ex2mnp9e6x7up0da6hgcn00qq3vamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3dwfjkccte9eshqup0qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tcht4zgq, I'm not talking about youโyou're not trying to hide information or mislead anyone. But I enjoy being a bit of a contrarian. There's too many people on Nostr funnelling users toward the same two or three companies selling "convenient" Lightning software and services. Iโm 100% in support of users running CLN/LND nodes, as long as they have a clear understanding of what theyโre getting into and why.
I ran Alby for a month, and there's no question it's a nice platform that makes running a node very easy. But when you tally the channel fees and subscription fee, it really only makes financial sense if you're transacting at least 100k sats per month. Even at 100k sats per month, you're effectively paying 20-30% in fees. For average users who are just zapping, a custodial solution makes a lot more sense. It's significantly less expensive, and lot easier.
Your key is your self-sovereign domain name.
No ICANN.
No blockchains.

Holy mother fucking shit. What the actual fuck.

The domain are very complex. Is it possible to create easy to read domains?
We would have to ask the developer and follow the development on Github.
I can imagine that pubkeys can be mined, just like npubs. With prefixes or postfixes.
The project seems to be very, very fresh and I'm curious to see what else will be added.
But easy to read, I don't think that's the aim of the whole thing. It comes from the Normie world. As a first step, getting full control over DNS resolution detached from ICANN is a powerful step.
How to test this address
Exciting and awesome.

I'm unable to get this working. Downloaded the binary and followed the docs but kept getting the following error.
Forward ICAN queries to 8.8.8.8
Error: Os { code 13, kind: PermissionDenied}
I thought it required root access but the error message is now AddrInUse.
the last error message means that your port 53 is already in use.
on debian based systems it is systemd-resolved
This is why pkdns was an ambition not something we actively tried to sell to people, convincing users to do any of this is pretty hard. Luckily app developers can add support Pkarr and Pubky by embedding it in their apps without asking users to change anything on their system.
Didn't expect many people to get as excited as you about it, but maybe one day browsers and popular DNS servers like 1.1.1.1 will support it natively, and users will get it without much configuration
Can we convince Mullvad VPN to support it? ๐ช
I am just more like a user. Not really a hardcore in depth developer.
stupid questions arise in my head: in my user world I dream of something like a package I can install and then it will just hook into my systems dns.
sudo dnf install pkdns-plugin
and then my system can resolve all the things.
I'm not tech savvy. Does this mean you can get domains for free? You don't have to go through domain registrars?
like nsec and npub on Nostr, yes. but we have to point our address resolvers to a special DNS server.
But devs could include it in their apps, so we users do not need to mess with our DNS settings.
But maybe in future some public DNS servers support pkdns.
and not free human readable addresses ;) those are like shitcoins, lol.
bleib open minded und nicht von irgendwelchen Leuten die Begeisterung nehmen lassen ๐ช๐ค
