Bullish for nostr honestly
Most of my Bitcoiners friends are laughing about nostr (centralized, bad UX etc…) but they would refuse to KYC themselves
We need encrypted group chats though in all clients ASAP in order to be ready for the great X exodus
Honestly I see you more on Twitter than here
People love to hate the algorithm but sometimes it’s useful lol
Even now I just saw your post on nostr thanks to Primal “24h trending” algorithm ,otherwise I would have totally missed it with the basic “latest” feed
TBH I''m surprised that their is not yet a nostr based shoppinf app good enough.
A competitor to Shopify/Woocommerce/ Amazon, or a new Silk Road with Bitcoin embedded, makes so much sense...

Paris is by far (fight me) the most beautiful city in the world

It's so obvious that I can't believe we are still talking about it in 2024 just before the 4th halving
I'm sure he will eventually
Kind of agree on that, Odell has nothing to gain from doing false claim, it's not what I mean I believe him.
Still it's always a very different and more nuanced story once you've heard all parties involved, I'm sure anyone here already experienced such situation.
Some dumbass are accusing me of dick riding because they just hate Saylor for some reason, but they are the one being stupid at that point.
Totally agree but could we have the Saylor/ARK version of the story before drawing conclusions
?
Maybe Saylor just explained why he personally believes that the funding of core devs by big tradefi entities was a potentially dangerous idea, without threatening anyone, and that ARK/21S finally agreed ?
Release time!
In our biggest update yet, we've completely redesigned the home screen, added a nostr-based profile setup walkthrough, and have finished our initial fedimint integrations by adding a federation discovery & recommendations!

Most lightning wallets these days are what we call "invoice-oriented." We want to go back to the basics to solve what people are really trying to do: paying a person. We've added a new wallet creation flow to make the wallet about you!

The new version of Mutiny now allows you to create a new nostr profile, or import a nostr private key from an existing profile. From there, you can now DM other mutiny & nostr users to send or request money directly from the app. No more copy / pasting invoices!

To double down on social, we've redesigned our home screen to put people first. We now include a row of recent profiles for quick access. We also now have tabs on the home screen for looking at your payment activity, your friend's zap activity on nostr, and your payment requests.
Next up, better fedimint support!
Mutiny has had beta support for the fedimint protocol for a couple of months now. Instead of opening a lightning channel on your first receive, with a minimum of 100k sats, you can get started on a fedimint with just a few sats.
This new update adds a way to discover available fedimints to join. Naturally, the discovery process is powered by an open protocol built on nostr. You can see who recommends a federation, and add it with one click.

You'll automatically receive funds to that fedimint, as long as the amount is smaller than 200,000 sats, and you'll automatically spend out of that fedimint, with a fallback to your regular lightning balance. You can also swap from fedimint to your lightning balance at any time.
Coming up shortly after this release, we'll be adding federated lightning addresses that lock incoming payments to your key, which you may redeem at any point by coming back online. We'll be rolling this out to Mutiny+ users first, stay tuned!
Let us know what you think! We're excited about this new direction and need feedback to help us continue driving forward.

Is there kind of a list of the federations already available for testing ?
Out of your "discover feature" (from which I can only see one mint recommended by nostr:npub1t0nyg64g5vwprva52wlcmt7fkdr07v5dr7s35raq9g0xgc0k4xcsedjgqv by the way, I don't know if it's normal), is there another way of finding federations for testing ?
Thanks and congrats for the work !

Just discovered nostr:npub1w0rthyjyp2f5gful0gm2500pwyxfrx93a85289xdz0sd6hyef33sh2cu4x , it's a nice and innovative client, love it.
It's a shame though that we can't "go backstage" by just paying an invoice, rather than connecting a wallet IMO
People told me that this episode of Citadel Dispatch with nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx was what made it click for them.
If you've been sleeping on Cashu and Chaumian Ecash in general, give this rip a listen. We go into depth of what this tech means for Bitcoin.

Really interesting indeed, the carbon paper / enveloppe analogy is great to grasp a how it is done, and the privacy improvement including what ecash allows in term of atomic multipath payment from multiple mints is quite interesting.
How I see it for Bitcoiners in the future:
-savings+ big tx (real estate, big purchases in general)--> Bitcoin
- day to day payments --> hybrid wallets :
self custodial LN (with LSP or not) coupled with an ecash wallet. The self custodial Wallet could top up the ecash wallet at will, allowing better privacy to send from many mints and asynchronous payment if no satisfying solution is found by then.
