I don't understand established Nostr accounts with no zap wallet attached.
Feels passive-aggressive.
Discussion
Some people don't know or care, also, I think sometimes they have one and for some reason it doesn't register they have one.
nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 doesn‘t like lightning.
LOL I hadn't even noticed that. Was wanting to zap some of my followers and the button doesn't light up.
fiatjaf is an idiot, so there's this further evidence
This is why there will never be a NIP merge in your name. 🤣
yes, before i even had any idea of making one he already removed names, so there's that too
sooner or later he's going to lose his welcome in the community with the clear sabotage he is constantly engaging in
most likely his real reason for this is that he's being paid by the CIA or something and like a heap of other devs in the scene don't think of self-sustaining models of funding as being "desirable" since they further decrease the potential for cooption of the system
this is how the advertising model of revenue on the internet led to manipulative, politically motivated skinners boxes - this is how they make it into propaganda
when it's business, they lose control of it
you wouldn't believe how much of the VC scene is full of people being loaded up with black budget profits to promote things that help their handlers
Maybe they are too humble to receive zaps for their content.
Sometimes, we need to show the humility to accept praise and thanksgiving.
They can always donate the zaps to a good cause.
I agree. But the "we" are not the "they". As they please. And about the donations, people are capable to overthink this. They are like, to who, why and why not another one. Mental breakdown looming...
No. Feels like it's tome to move on to better blockchains that cannot let them trace you.
I don't have a zap wallet attached but I have a Monero address in the profile description.
yeah, i'm not following anymore you seemed so reasonable and i suppose you don't know that lightning uses onion routing
He's reasonable about everything except sound money. 🤷♀️
well, if you can tolerate the occasional stupid ok but it ruins my whole impression
I have other criteria for my mute list.
yeah, my other one is more important and less frequently arising - like happened yesterday, someone trying to gaslight me, that's never ok and that's the end for me
Get a life, seriously. Turning into a sect won't help the cause.
Your bitcoin is traceable by design, nothing can be done about that. You still need to move some funds on-chain to open a channel. That's the moment you're busted. Or your node operator, to start with.
I see posts about "no-KYC sats" here and there. Would that even be an issue which sats are KYC and which are not if the onion routing helped?
L2 "solutions" won't solve the problems rooted in L1. They are merely crutches. And crutches break over time.
lightning's problem is its brittle network topology
the use of onions was specifically about reducing the chances of an attacker knowing the whole path, but for practical reasons the endpoints are not anonymised from each other
also, it's not a sect if you are chasing after the real thing, all cults are about a false goal, that is promoted by a person or group
monero sacrifices supply rate guarantees to get its anonymity and this is not anacceptable trade off
the fixed supply is far more important than the anonymity
I suspect the wide availability and popularity of Bitcoin makes people forget how essential its design is to fulfilling the nature of money.
People view it as the commodity that it is and get bored and want to tinker around, but money should be a commodity. My money should be boring.
Code something else.
and stop adding BIPs ffs!
Yes. Losing sight of what sound money is and tinkering because you can is a ngmi approach.
WORD!..🧡😐
The most boring money is called Tether. Really, if you pull your head out of sand, you'll see people use USDT-TRC20 for transaction convenience the most. Heck, I have some too (because fuck ERC20 with those fees). But will I use them for any serious business? No, I'll use Monero... or whatever will suit my privacy needs best at the moment, because I'm not a slave of brands and dogmas.
"this is not an acceptable trade off"
*for you*
I always find this argument kind of funny. Other critical components of Bitcoin rely on cryptographic assumptions that would be catastrophic if wrong and you trust those. I never see you talk about those.
What about the downsides of having a transparent chain?
-Surveillance
-Non-fungibility
-Targeted mining censorship
You keeping up with the Roman Sterlingov case?
A common theme from many great minds that paved the way for the creation of Bitcoin placed ***great*** emphasized on "privacy", "anonymity", and "untraceability". Many Bitcoiners now ignore, don't know about it, or treat it as a side issue. They weren't arguing about "fixed supply" or NGU.
onion routing usefulness is greatly reduced or even nullified when most users are going thru a few massive centralized LN nodes. They have a picture of the overwhelming majority of the network.
it is passive aggresive
and it is not gamification, it's low friction payments, that's the whole point of it
nobody gets kudos for zapping themselves, i mean, circle zapping, or whatever, do they?
