How are we going to fix this for the greater population when adoption increases? I don't think anyone will care or will want to care about this
So you’re not daft. Just didn’t know that fact yet! I’m still daft about most stuff though 🤪
Relays are just plain stupid servers. It’s the crypto involved in signing of notes, paired with the idea of having free-to-choose easy-to-run relays that makes nostr powerful. So, no block chains or PoW in that sense.
there’s no need for that type of consensus here. Bitcoin needs it to prevent double spend etc.
Although, when I first joined I actually thought exactly like you, that there were blockchains involved.
When are people going to stop using Telegram?? Why do so many products in the #bitcoin space still have telegram groups advertised on their homepages?
At least stop listing them and list #signal or #simplex groups instead.
We're pro #privacy right?
I deleted my telegram account last month and feel much better for it. I lost contact with a lot of groups sadly, but its worth it.
This was interesting. I've definitely noticed this in Japan too. Especially for myself, as a foreigner who only started learning japanese later in life, due to using mobile and computers for typing, I have no clue how to write the characters.
But even my Japanese wife struggles.
Unlike Chinese, Japanese also has a phonetic character set (hiragana) which can be used to spell all words but due to the high number of homophones (because of few base phonemes), this can be ambiguous and hard to read too. So usually Kanji (Chinese characters) are used for main words, often similar to those in Chinese.
I am able to recognize the characters when reading even though I cant write them. When typing, Japanese keyboards let you type with phonetics and then they offer kanji words that match the phonetic word you typed. So all you need to do is pick right kanji word/character to replace your phonetic hiragana.
I think this is the reason people are forgetting, or never quite gaining, the ability to properly write. Its a different type of memory/recall.
I think the topic is nostr relays. So no blockchains involved
I’ll need to read up. I know the basics of how lightning works but need to actually reread stuff, or implement something to learn from doing haha. Haven’t read Bolt12 but I see it’s getting adoption now in more clients
The idea is for it to be hands off for the receiver.
I don’t know the #lightning protocol well enough. Is it possible create an invoice on behalf of someone?
UX Eg. Can I create a QR code that when scanned, will show a payment to send 21,000sats to my friend XYZ’s LNURL?
All I know is my friends LNURL and the amount I want to be sent to my friend.

Thanks for the transparency! Keep up the hard work.
Might be my ignorance to the tech but I thought all signing was done on the front end and so signing in (with an extension for example) was just a client side session and that the nsec never got shared server side.
Recalling first day of #Nostrasia ‘23 when I was still a fresh noob to the bitcoin world.
I was standing in line for the toilet and chatted to the guy next to me and asked his name. He said “I’m nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8 “ and I had no idea who that was. I think he told me he was part of the media team, probably after realizing I had no clue.

Just try not to buy KYC
Dude. This is awesome. Just started following you!
Which prefecture are you based in? (no need to respond, if you wanna keep privacy).
Don't think you'll get hate, as much as different perspectives.
Many here aren't "trading" or "investing" so it's not about "taking profits".
I certainly would not be trying to time the market and take profits before it goes down. I'd be saving in bitcoin. It's a non-inflatable store of value, of energy, of hard work.
If I needed to make some big purchase in the future for which I didn't have enough fiat, I'd sell what's necessary of my stack.
I wouldn't be putting fiat into bitcoin that I know I'd need for day-to-day expenses, or short-term big purchases. I'd only be putting into bitcoin, what I plan to hold for the next 4+ years (at least)
If you bought KYC, they know how much you bought. Mixing it doesn't take that fact away.
Imagine the conversation:
Gov: You bought N bitcoin on this date at this price, please pay unrealized gains taxes on it.
(mixing seems irrelevant here)
The Bitcoiner: Um, but I don't own the coins anymore.
Gov: Prove it. Show us your transaction trail and where it was sold, and the CGT you paid at sale time.
The Bitcoiner: Actually, I lost the wallet with the coins in a boating accident.
I'm not sure how they will try to prove whether someone does in fact own it or not.
With AI (or smart pattern analysis algos) it's likely they can identify correlations between KYC fiat income (eg. bank debits) and transactions downstream (post-mixing) of your KYC addresses they know. Off-ramps will be heavily monitored to find these I'm sure.
So cash would be the only safe transaction, if they aren't watching with drones / street cameras and AI at that time.
Man I'm super black-pilling now. Haven't actually thought about this before..

Have a sick day
I thought the same thing! He's using it to be insulting, but I just heard a factual descriptor 🤣
Why is Amazon’s interface so crappy. The functionality and reliability etc is amazing.
But their UI sucks. And we’re just used to it. But it could be so much better.
What really annoys me is the filtering options. I live in Japan and use Amazon JP, but when I search for books usually it’s Japanese language books that top the results. You’d think it’d be easy to filter by language. But it’s not an option.
