For someone who unfortunately has everything Apple for fiat mining reasons - that wouldn’t be economically viable or am I missing something here?
What’s the big difference? Help a amateur understand 🙏
Discussion
A Samsung Galaxy A15 is $200. If you can't spare that after a few months, your fiat mine isn't worth the trouble they're giving you.
After fiat mine has paid me and looking after the old family I’m left with pennys… stacking sats on here by adding my touch to the ecosystem might help my stack but yes - Africa is tough!
Is your employer buying the Apple products? If so, they could be paying you more instead.
It’s an apple house unfortunately.. company policy..
Minimum wage in where I’m from is okay but nowhere to the point I can just switch up OS.. what is the big difference?
In terms of functionality, probably not much.
The point of the original note is about choosing systems with more freedom instead of ones based on centralized control.
Apple products are always overpriced (compared to computing power) and aimed at people with plenty of spare cash.
Ok I see what you mean… when I was 16-17 I had android and it’s always been Apple since - majority of working class fiat miners are on Apple here for some reason..
The reason is "brag factor", unless there's some shipping, or tarrif, issue with Samsung and your region.
Brag factor = less sats
So my current phone is 3 years old - paid off and I was looking to upgrade - company will pay but if I don’t upgrade I don’t get the cash.. so that’s the catch..
Here it’s a tax break if we buy from a company which is owned by previously disadvantaged people - so that’s the only reason I can think..
Not my company not my rules..
Apple is considered to be owned by previously disadvantaged people?
So buying the products via a company owned by previously disadvantaged people gives the company a better score and bigger tax breaks.. that’s how it works here..
Ah, that makes more sense. I knew Steve Jobs was crazy, but that didn't seem like a qualifying trait.
No it’s our government…
When you wanna learn about it google “BEE Africa” - you’ll understand what I’m saying - becareful it’s a deep rabbit hole if you enjoy history and investigation of how other places work…
All I get are results for Africanized bees. 🤷🏻♂️
Apple is a walled garden that doesn't let you modify your OS (you can with jailbreaking but it's a complex workaround), whereas on Android customization is enabled by default, you can access folders, and make changes to basically anything.
Primal uses a centralized Cache Service which is why primal stuff usually only shows up on Primal but won't show to other clients usually.
They're both unideal if you want a freer experience.
Ooh shit… but I think Damus worked.. let me try 🤙🏻
Nope - Damus isn’t ideal.. it’s laggy.. deleted it already!
If I manage to get to $200 from ZAPS you rate android for NOSTR?
That's the tradeoff, Primal loads things quicker but there's a risk of it not showing either.
I don't see half of my notifications sometimes since a lot of people use primal, so I have to check primal to get primal notifications.
The note I sent above explains the issue pretty well.
Question… is holing the Nsec for a username the same as holding the domain name for a company ?
Nsecs are sort of randomly generated, I'm sure if you get lucky you could get a set of strings in an Nsec/Npubs that use real words but no, there isn't a thing as domain hoarding since every Nsec/Npub is unique, the only way to tie it to a username of sorts is through Nip-05.
I shall do my research what NIP-05 is - thanks for the advice brother!🙏
To explain simply, it uses a website to make a handle.
For Example: since I own acceptcrypto.org, I can use a Nip-05 with my website and create a handle that way.
In your case if you wanted a SatoshisNephew.com, as your Nip-05 you would need to own that website.
I have two Nip-05s
Jordan@acceptcrypto.org (Me)
And my project page
_@acceptcrypto.org which translates to @acceptcrypto.org in most clients.
The _ is basically a way to say only use the part after @, ignore the front, like an blankspace.
Legend.. thank you!
No need for a website with my name…
Any good resources to track Nostr user stats?
If you mean the total Sat zap history on Notes I think Amethyst (the client I use) shows it.
I think a lot of other clients might show it too but I'm not sure how they work on other clients.
