Kaum auf der Welt, direkt Neuwagen fahren! 😅
Aber nein, herzlichen Glückwunsch euch!
Dies anyone know of a privacy preserving alternative to AWS/Azure that is prepaid with Sats, does not require KYC and offers services like Lambda and EC2? 🤔
How come cdn.satellite.earth pictures do not automatically load inline on Amethyst but only show as clickable links? Anyone else with this problem or a solution? 🤔
Hey hey hey 👋 - For sure! With our official launch we have created some guides on how to set up your own federation 🚀
Feel free to review them here - https://support.fedi.xyz/hc/en-us/sections/18214787528082-Federation-Setup
The Docker instructions at https://github.com/fedimint/fedimint/tree/master/docker
Still mostly refer to mutinynet setup and are not updated for the latest stable release. Hoping that will follow in the next days. Really appreciate your work!
Could one not consider Satoshi's coins to also be 'Lost coins' as he is unlikely to ever return and move them?
“Over the coming months, [Fedi] will eventually become fully AGPL open source, so that we don't just use the best freedom technologies. The Fedi app itself becomes a freedom technology.” - nostr:npub1kp7jzme0qs3wcqjjmkq6v5fm359sclhc22glhadgtmerlr0h37nsn8487l of nostr:npub1uq70uqgas9pyhds2zt57kr9se8rg3s68ztphjnq82ts8rzeknmeql7u0c2 on nostr:npub10qrssqjsydd38j8mv7h27dq0ynpns3djgu88mhr7cr2qcqrgyezspkxqj8
Fedi takes the best open-source freedom technologies ( #Bitcoin, Lightning, the fedimint protocol, Nostr, and Matrix) and combines them into one community super app.
Congratulations to Obi and the whole Fedi team! 🔥
Massive respect to Obi and Fedi for launching such a giant project out of beta!
I am not certain that matrix really is the best freedom technology for messaging.
If Fedi already relies on nostr identities, it would probably be easiest to message over Nostr like with nostr:nprofile1qqsth7fr42fyvpjl3rzqclvm7cwves8l8l8lqedgevhlfnamvgyg78spz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kuegpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqj9swg4 or 0xChat.
And get a readable identifier using NIP5. It would be indistinguishable from the enduser perspective, you could get fault tolerance if every guardian runs a relay so no single matrix server can go down and users could even keep their identity if they leave a federation and move to a new one (just point a new NIP5 to an existing npub)
In case you didn't listen to the podcast I mentioned above: Global Village does not make any decisions on operations of SimpleX or the other projects they fund. They just throw money at small projects that look somewhat promising and hope that in a few years that paid of.
No one is stopping you from running an instance yourself, in fact I run one myself DM me for connection string.
Ist dein Nachname Rach und deine Profession Restauranttester? 😜
Probably because SimpleX presented a good business model. They said they are woeking on offering dedicated messaging infrastructure for corporate clients. Global Village saw a potential that this business model might work and put some VC money in. Nothing out of the ordinary. Evgeny talks about this in a podcast episode with Seth for Privacy ( https://optoutpod.com/episodes/s3e02-simplexchat/ )
Just back from a long weekend away at an AirBnB in country Victoria where me and the missus put our phones away for 4 days and didn’t go online at all.
Had time to cook; made a beautiful pasta dish with a sauce including some super cheap lions mane mushrooms ($1 for 250g) we picked up on the way and homemade salami, grilled some fantastic scotch fillets from nostr:npub1ulv87e4aqd4wwc97kakn6cpenjvrv6zl8rh396s2ufhns9aanzfs4puzvk and had an incredibly good Sunday roast with made-up sides which turned out really good considering the ingredients we had on hand.
Beachcombing, kangaroos in the yard and absolutely everywhere, wombats, a warm fire, stargazing in perfectly clear skies, watched Saw 1/2/3, got some good pics with our new Instax Mini Evo and the dog had an absolute blast!
Anyway, what’s been happening? Did I miss anything?.. 
That's the way! A secluded cabin by a lake with no phones to distract you always sounds great to me. Just reading and chilling. Heavy rain at dusk makes it extra cozy.
Yes, perhaps they should have gone to court over it but I doubt the court would have ruled in their favor. All of this proves that their encryption works and they actually do not have a way to bypass it themselves. However it also proves that many people don't think about linking a supposedly anonymous email account with their real name recovery email.
If you don't do that there is no known threat against your data at protonmail.
As I only ever heard that the recovery address is passed on to law enforcement by Proton, I am fine with trusting ProtonMail. Don't set a recovery mail/phone number, use a VPN/Tor and you should be fine.
Unless you can provide an instance where actual mails were handed over to law enforcement.
So we need to buy more sats?!
Some examples:
Tamper-proof bags (25€ for 100pcs)
https://my-litfax.de/Organisationsmittel-Sicherheitstaschen_Safebags-wg.htm
Letter stamps (24€)
Washers (16€ for 60pcs)
https://www.hellweg.de/a/suki-karosseriescheibe-8-4-x-24-x-2-00-mm-50-stueck-888850
It's actually cheaper than I stated above, you can even buy a set of 100 washers for your fellow plebs and split the costs.
Swiss-designed robust metal backup for secure, discreet storage of wallet recovery words. Built to withstand extreme conditions, it’s reusable and heavy-duty. Features secure closure, discreet design, and compatibility with up to 24-word recovery phrases. The ultimate metal backup! 💪🔒🇨🇭🛡️

That's hella expensive if you ask me. Cost for the tamper evident bags and backup cards is no more than 2€ in production.
I feel similarly about other products: Just buy the punch letters on amazon for 30€ and the washers for like 10€ at a hardware store.
Another backup only costs you the extra washers and you can go for two backup locations on some good V4 stainless steel.
Will there be setup instructions for semi tech savvy plebs on how to build a federation themselves and how to deploy guardian nodes, lightning swaps etc? The docs right now don't explain that nearly enough.
A good federation shouldn't be limited by the reputable guardians not being coders or having a day job 😉
This little blue butterfly was magically attracted by our #weedstr scent. He flew around for the duration of the entire joint!

"As long as the final decision on the digital euro has not been taken, it makes little sense for the Eurosystem to launch a large-scale public awareness drive." - Deutsche Bundesbank President Joachim Nagel
I could not disagree more. People should know what their governments are doing.
The need for this transparency is precisely why I have been working with the Human Rights Foundation on the nostr:npub17xvf49kht23cddxgw92rvfktkd3vqvjgkgsdexh9847wl0927tqsrhc9as CBDC Tracker to document CBDC development around the world.
Furthermore, the need for transparency is also why I wrote my book to provide everything you need to get up to speed on CBDCs.
From the myths to the risks, this book will help you decode what "CBDC" means for the future of money.
Could also optimistically be interpreted as Joachim Nagel not concerning himself too much with the digital euro because he does not believe it will ever be rolled out widespread.
