When is the next Nostr event in the United States?

The itinerary for this event looks so good, I wish i was in the room. 😭

ZEUS is pleased to announce the integration of its lightning service provider, Olympus by ZEUS, into Alby Hub (nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm).

Alby Hub is a self-custodial, LDK-based Lightning node and web interface with a focus on connections to other web apps.

Big!

Nostr is a community-run digital network highly resistant to censorship and corruption.

Good morning Nostr friends.

Onward!

Guilty of posting AI slop myself.

I've done a bit of reflection these past few weeks and I think the Nostr protocol creates an environment where an individual is more insentvised to be be authentic and more self aware.

At least this has been my experience.

Good morning spicy frens.

Have courage today to do the thing.

Bank security practices are so byzantine and broken it's absurd. I spent 45 minutes helping my mom unlock her Chase account today (which was locked because she sent $500 via zelle to a friend who is in the hospital!) Here's how it went:

- Locked for no reason

- Number on website goes to automated answering machine

- It asks for her debit card number (what?) to identify the account

- This is lost and also needs to be replaced. There is no alternative method, 0 doesn't get us to a person

- I call Chase customer service, different number, very similar system, but I am able to get a person on the phone

- They verify her identity by making me hand the phone to my mom and ask her to state her name (what). They also ask for her ssn and a security phrase she doesn't know, although she does manage to share the security phrase for her other bank.

- They re-order the debit card and transfer us to another department, where we do the whole verification charade again

- They send a 2fa code via sms. We receive it, but the site shows an error and won't let us put the code in.

- They then send a different code, and ask me to give it to them over the phone, which the text message explicitly says not to do.

- Despite my better judgment I gave them the number. They then do something on the backend, and I enter a *new* code they gave me over the phone into the web portal to get it unblocked.

It's no wonder old people get scammed! Force someone to deal with this BS for 20 years and anyone would get confused and give the wrong code to the wrong person.

They're so cooked it's almost funny if I wasn't so angry about how awful it is.

BTW it's the same BS dealing with ISPs.

WE'RE NOT NEARLY ANGRY ENOUGH.

Brought my drums to the beach ⛱️

I've been using Strike for a while now.

I'm considering on switching to Zeus or Mutiny.

What's your favorite L2 lightning wallet?
