Pretty normal to charge a small surcharge to cover possible fees.

This is a client specific issue. If you want to be able to see blocked replies, ask for the feature from your client to get the ball rolling.

They'll probably develop it in a week.

Does that even work? Doesn't tor create its own tunnels between nodes?

I like that there is more thought about giving the recipient what THEY want.

It does require the recipient to advertise their preferred mints, but it improves the trust element of ecash payments.

Another concern I have had in the back of my mind is the idea that ecash is good for service credits. If the ecash that the service provider accepts is their own, then you're really paying them up front. It means that I'm not paying micropayments for streaming Netflix for example, I'm just using the credits that I bought.

The only way to solve against this is to create dual-trusted mints, I. E. MasterCard?

Don't post personal information, don't post photos, don't reveal your location.

Don't hint how much bitcoin you have.

Just a Japan resident/native?

"What's that?"

"That's the sound of money."

If you don't know, it's probably advanced.

Honestly, I don't understand the problem. Either you are talking to a bot and then you realise but there is no harm done, or you recognize a bot and get annoyed but then block them and continue with your day, or you interact with a bot and it starts asking for personal details or tries to get you onto another platform like a telegram channel, or it asks for your seed phrase... Things you should not give to a bot OR another person.

So honestly, I'd like to hear real stories about what people are experiencing so we can catalog it and understand what the problem is.

Saying "how can we identify bots" is like saying "how can we identify nostr users who have blue eyes?" Like 1. You can't, 2. Why do you want to filter them anyway?

If we treat bots and people the same, then the question becomes: how can I protect myself from scammers (which I THINK is the real question)... That's an answerable question but still difficult to answer until we have case studies.

Who does that? Sounds silly.

Eh? This makes no sense to me.

I mean... Good luck gatekeeping large numbers?

You're baking this into Amethyst?

Now include people who don't hate calle. Idiots too?

Hahaha 😆

In case your nostr client tries to be "helpful" Iike mine and replaces the cashu token with a receive button, this is what it looks like:

Just type a hidden message, choose an emoji and copy the emoji at the bottom and paste into a messenger or Nostr client.

If you want to hide ecash, then you need a cashu wallet and you need to figure out how to get a text copy of a cashu token. It would look something like:

Use that as the secret message and now you have ecash hidden in an emoji 👍

Sad that #Nostr (or maybe just #Amethyst) doesn't support Phoenix Bolt 12 addresses yet.

Thank you, will bookmark this and read ASAP. 👏
