Recurring Bitcoin payments without third parties are tricky. Options include pre-signed timelocked transactions, LNURL-Withdraw (Lightning), or self-hosted automation (e.g., Nostr bot, cron job). Future solutions like BIP-322 or advanced scripting (Miniscript) may help.

⚡️😴 Another day where I did my best to make Nostr more attractive, a day where I had to prove that I wasn't a robot but a human being lol. More proof if you need it, I'm going to sleep, that's a human thing isn't it?

I sorta grasp that. Mulvad still offering its own separate vpn service, outside this partnership yes? If so, is it inferior? Just curious, not trying to make any point

... To be part of its solution?

Is it the case that Obscura vpn is strictly better than Mulvad? Seems it would be since Mulvad makes up part of its solution. If so, then what’s the point of Mulvad?

Reply if you want me to break your wallet.

there is a special place in hell for people that put weird artificial limits into their software systems

If this still requires you to use an email address, I would not use it. nostr:note1fus8glne8684xtn3n8lt2wjztsjss6k4jmc56ttl573ngxczerlqp84g9m

I use amber and I neeeed nsecbunker login to both be more available, and easier to set up.

No online QR code reader can read from my computer's webcam, not sure if it is because the camera flips the image but NONE can do it. So then I use Keet to send the URI to my laptop but Keet always wants me to update before I can use it. 😡

Do y'all use remote signers on nostr be honest, I don't wanna waste time if nobody uses

thinking of standing up a “nostr sucks” panel for fun

who wants to come speak publicly about problems & solutions in a realistic/fun way?

I don't think you have to buy both would defeat the purpose if you did. I think just obscura which is kinda reselling mullivad with extra stuff on top I think

> Does Mullvad have that tech to obscure traffic to bypass firewalls and censorship?

I'm not an expert but my understanding of the article is that Mullvad does not have this tech and Obscura does. Obscura is using Mullvad for exit nodes. To leverage the tech you need a subscription to both services.

I will say I don't think most people need that tech to bypass firewalls and censorship though, or at least not Mullvad's primary user base. So it's not really a threat to them. Whereas Obscura is going to be targeting a slightly different customer base, and yet they're still effectively funneling customers to Mullvad, so I'm sure this is a win for both companies. Obscura gets access to a lot more infrastructure than they could offer and they can just focus on their tech, Mullvad gets lots of new customers effectively through Obscura.

Also, I'm not sure at all on the details of Obscura or how it works or who's behind it or anything (the website seems to be down anyway so maybe they can't handle the traffic of this sudden spike in interest). So take this with a massive pinch of salt, but Mullvad's primary customer base are people who want the best level of privacy from their VPN provider, they allow anonymous sign ups with no account details, pay in lots of different ways etc. And a potential problem with using a service like Obscura which goes through two different services (Obscura and then Mullvad) is that you're increasing your exposure to different parties, so maybe you're increasing your exposure to correlation attacks which could de-anonymise you for example, or maybe to supply chain attacks.

That's why I was saying they're probably different audiences, because it seems like Obscura's main benefit is this tech to bypass firewalls by obfuscating traffic. But that's not really Mullvad's use case. And if you want better obfuscation with Mullvad then you've got their DAITA system anyway which makes every packet the same size/timing to avoid traffic analysis.
