Can't get a Wallet of Satoshi address(USA), can't get an Alby address(registration limited). Can't link self custody lightning addresses to nostr. #WTF

How tf are normal people supposed to join nostr and start send/receiving zaps?

#Bitcoin is way easier to use than all the hoops required to use #Lightning

FWIW, I think deletions on Nostr are a "meh" idea and edits are a bad idea. Consider the following:

- It's an additional layer of complexity. Nostr should arguably be simpler and it's already more complex in some ways centralized platforms are not.

- Different relays will disagree on whether to accept the edit or the delete event, so the original note may stay available. It may also become apparently unavailable and then available again in the future. Someone could send the old version to relays you don't use.

- Unlike some specific features like articles, zaps and whatever one can think of, it only makes sense if consistently implemented, but that's something we can only assume to be true of NIP-01.

- It makes retrieving a note less efficient. You now need to wait a response from all relays, just in case one of them has a deletion or a modification the first one to reply doesn't have.

- There is value in having modifications, but there is also value in having platforms that don't allow modifications, IMO, where an ID truly identifies a specific piece of text and nothing else. Now that Twitter allows modifications, Nostr can use the fact that it doesn't to diversify itself so as to convince users to use both (otherwise the network effect plays against Nostr).

On centralized platforms which allow modifications, users sometimes write a post with the plan of modifying it later. On Nostr that would be a bad pattern, however and I think the modification features can lead to bad usage of Nostr and, therefore, a bad user experience.

Ultimately it will prevail if clients and relays implement it and fail otherwise, but I'm not in favor of it.

I just had an idea why don’t you reply to this note introducing yourself

saying a couple things about yourself as short or as detailed as you want it to be

in the hopes of meeting someone new, possibly a new fren, a likeminded individual, idk let’s see what happens

I really respect your work but Mullvad's move is just PR move.

VPN market means big money.

Mullvad is insecure because of their location.

Sweden is becoming one of the most oppressive countries when it comes to privacy.

You must know that in Sweden Police can legally hack your IT infrastructure.

You should avoid any internet services which are under Swedish jurisdiction.

For context re: Craig Wright and Calvin Ayre and why there should be no mercy.

My life changed completely on March 29th, 2019. Almost five years ago now.

I had made several tweets, warning people about Craig Wright, and making my opinion about him clear. A matter of very public interest.

I was sent a legal letter on twitter DM, where it was made clear that I either had to apologize and acknowledge Craig as Satoshi, or they would file a libel case against me in UK.

When I didn't comply, Craig and Calvin put a public $5000 bounty on my identity and then firmly doxxed me after finding out who I was.

They proceeded to put private intelligence surveillance on me, that have tried to gain access to my social circle, both online and physically. Presence in 100s of groups. Monitoring my house. Producing regular, detailed reports on all my activity. Travelled where I travelled and so on. And god knows what else. This is still going on today.

I have been continuosly smeared and lied about on social media and in Coingeek, the publication owned by Calvin.

Threatened directly/personally with bankruptcy and worse by Calvin and his followers on twitter, with my real name, on countless occasions.

Anonymous phone calls with indirect threats.

My dad was fighting against cancer when this all started. I was dealing with constant legal pressure and threats throughout his fight. When he finally died late 2020, the legal pressure was at a peak and my funding situation was uncertain.

I've had to give up tons of private communication in discovery, to prove I had not been behind "an organized and vicious campaign against Craig."

I've had to turn down professional opportunities, since a good percentage of my bandwidth has been continuously occupied with defending myself legally. The amount of legal letters, hearings, appeals, judgments etc are beyond belief.

I've lived since 2019, with the constant knowledge that my house and belongings are on the line, and Craig's stated goal of bankrupting his enemies would be reality if I lost.

All the while I've tried to, and largely managed, to shield my child and family as well as possible, but I know all of this has put stress on them as well.

No mercy for these people.

Only Welcome to Law.

I saw a blogger said once we have limited amount of fucks to give in our life. Life is not about not giving a fuck for everything, it's about choosing our fucks, choosing our fights. The ones that resonates with our core values and that gives our life true purpose.

Laughs in monero
