Is it normal that bitcoin knots is taking way too long to sync? It's still @ 41% after 3 weeks of syncing though I regularly have 2-6 peers connected.

If you go to the wallet icon on the far right it will show you the balance and which federation you joined. If you don't see Istiqlalia in there then the same wallet page press + on the top of the screen, then "join" and paste the invite link.
Fedi Global is a community, which is different than a federation. I'm hoping to create Istiqlalia community just waiting for fedi to approve.
Yes please!
Strange. It's called Istiqlalia.
Just created a federation myself. Easy!
They made it easier on the last update. I've applied for a community also let's see how it goes.
You can try and fiddle with it by joining my federation. Just copy & paste after installing the app.

No it's on the Fedi app. They still need to polish it even further. Basically it's a collaborative community custody for btc and a online community centre. All in all it gives you privacy for both btc transactions and chats. Very promising for on boarding newcomers to bitcoin.
I'm still learning how to use nostr:nprofile1qqswq087qywczsjtkc9p960tpjcvn35gcdr39smefsr49cr33vmfauspp4mhxue69uhkyunz9e5k7tcpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7280es3 so if you have any comments I'm happy to consider.
"Store of value"
Cheap shot, I know, but it's important to remind everyone that this is a systematic change. Only expect the unexpected.
Fun fact: Gold's market cap exploded by approx. $12.33T in 2025 so far. If that cash flooded into Bitcoin at today's price, 1 BTC would soar to ~$727K!
introducing nostr:nprofile1qqsqa6p85dhghvx0cjpu7xrj0qgc939pd3v2ew36uttmz40qxu8f8wq8vdeta - the ai agent for nostr
