GM!
Did you know:
When a person with a British accent says "Beer Can Man"
It actually sounds like a Jamaican saying "Bacon Man" enthusiastically.

Did you hear the one about a Jamaican ordering a beer can sandwich?
Is this Biden's definition of male and female or Trump's?
No, anonymity in public attracts attention. Privacy means you or your actions are not in the public eye.
Taking actions in public that preserve your anonymity: suspicious.
Taking actions in public that preserve your privacy: oxymoron?
I sold... Some fiat.
Nothing is truly private. Lightning is fairly private, and cashu is even more private, but in order for them to be at all trustworthy, they must build in layers atop one another.
In hindsight, maxis are kinda toxic but I love it 😅
I set up an hourly DCA. I hope there is more to come. 🤑
Same, maybe I used the wrong words.
So you're saying we can build from source and use that as firmware on the cold card? If so, cool, thanks for informing me, I haven't had the time and motivation to verify yet.
By the way, the souce code is fully reviewable here:

Software license details here:
AFAIK, it doesn't have the verifiable builds. Am I wrong?
Sure, but innovation is just many small iterations. No one can look at nostr and think: ah, this is the client for it. We start somewhere, find the issues and opportunities and iterate.
For example, login is already unique for these social client clones, so they aren't really clones. Zaps will be introduced, the way media is uploaded and stored is completely different. So behind the covers, everything is different.
Question: is there any merit to attempting to mystify transactions by increasing the number of outputs?
If I use an input of $300, and pay a $40.98 bill, I could have two $40.98 outputs, and my remaining change can also be split into two outputs too.
My theory is that it is harder to detect which output is a payment or change, and unless I am wrong, outputs don't require signatures so the transaction size cost should be minimal?

That's like asking if the internet should be the backbone behind tiktok, insta etc.
It isn't nostr that is skinning itself as those platforms, it is entrepreneurs/hackers/tinkerers creating nostr backed alternatives to those platforms.
Eventually all clients need to monetise. So far the popular ones, even the reliable relays, monetise through donations and subscriptions.
Yes they are real risks, but they are not immediate risks.
The magnitude of the risk is this: you have to learn/figure out how to set up a real multisig wallet and then also be prepared to follow some potentially technical instructions to get the funds into a new wallet you have created.
You should also keep an eye on the company. The company may alert you when things are getting wavy through app notifications, but I wouldn't rely on it.
Get it set up, and then take your time but start building up your shared knowledge of a more self sovereign solution.
Context is Apple are evil overlords and Damus is not allowed to have zaps turned on because Apple wants their cut.
Somehow this workaround works and Apple haven't clocked on or doesn't care.
