Seriously though, my experiences running Breez have also been frustrating. The syncing takes so long and if my phone goes to sleep or I put the app into the background it stops. I could never make it work for me, so I ended up using other Lightning wallets.

good morning nostr, the reason we started ten31 is because suits continue to burn billions of dollars on garbage projects while bitcoin companies often struggle to get funding

How many bitcoin apps have your private key?

How many nostr apps have your private key?

All it takes is a single compromise to get rekt.

A single one.

Why would you want to do that?

You'd break 100% of existing podcast apps; and you'd need people to understand which relays to subscribe to in order to get their favourite shows (there's no "Nostr", just a random list of relays).

RSS is extendable to add new features - and right now is the biggest use of Lightning payments. Nostr is tiny in comparison. And you want to kill that for... why, exactly?

The more i read this apple guideline the more I realize it can be used to remove any bitcoin or p2p payment app at any time:

“Apps may enable individual users to give a monetary gift to another individual without using in-app purchase, provided that (a) the gift is a completely optional choice by the giver, and (b) 100% of the funds go to the receiver of the gift. However, a gift that is connected to or associated at any point in time with receiving digital content or services must use in-app purchase.”

Specifically:

“a gift that is *connected to or associated at any point in time* with receiving digital content or services must use in-app purchase”

This means when users start saying “zap me with your email to receive my art”. Then this would give apple an excuse remove Damus at any time, even with only profile zaps. This is true of every p2p payment app as well from what I can tell.

Not to mention: “100% of the funds go to the receiver of the gift”. So what about miner fees? Apple could argue miner tx fees on bitcoin txs violate their guidelines. This also means damus splits + support star are very much not allowed and they won’t be pushed to the app store 🥲

Overall everything is very vague which gives apple the ability to remove your app for any reason. Fun

I don't get why people think Android is not safe and will start censoring apps any day, but somehow the "browser" is safe and the best place to write apps.
