This is something I haven't talked about publicly yet, but some of the key reasons why I've shifted focus back to Bitcoin over Monero (but haven't abandoned Monero or changed my stance on it as a powerful tool for freedom!) in the last ~1y below:
#[0]
We're certainly glad to have you ser.
Agreed and #Nostr is a better place now that #[3] and #[2] are here! Love you guys, keep educating us
Cheers Dave!
In the interests of learning and helping a Nostr newbie I don’t mind if you try a Zap on my post. I can they say I helped the esteemed QnA, it would make my day!
I don't think my setup is fully NIP57 compliant yet (waiting on BTCPay) but...
Sending client doesn't have to do anything for support AFAIK, so should work fine for sending :)
That worked, as Seth said the sending client is separate and can be whatever client your Nostr client supports. Damus is what I use on iOS and Amethyst on Android

Appreciate all you do Seth!
Respect 🫡
Network effects too strong in bitcoin, it will overwhelm everything else
How do you see monero as tool for freedom?
Two pieces of content where I lay out this view here:

Will check it out! Thank you!
Why is mining empty blocks not a valid decision miners or pools can make? Devs decide what is a good use or am i misunderstanding what you said at HCPP22?
Mining empty blocks is disincentivized through transaction fees, so would only be done with other incentives (like a government subsidized pool to attack the network, or the government themselves attacking the network.)
There is no “legitimate” reason to mine empty blocks unless there are 0 transactions in the mempool.
Thank you for responding. I understood that mining empty blocks is not economical (in probably all cases) but a developer decision what is good or bad isn't better imho. And force-feeding "updates" (from devs who can be, i suspect, easily brought to service from [entity]) to users like in the case of monero isn't a viable solution for me.
I'm not sure your point, devs have no control over blocks being empty or not.
decentralized pools via p2pool - /censoring or mining empty blocks/
Devs provide sw which censors miners mining empty blocks.
Anyway i don't agree with many other statements provided at your presentation. But since it do not hold monero bags i do not really care. ☮️✌️
