Yeah cause you didn’t update the version.

Zapping ⚡️ people on Damus today while everyone else had automatic updates turned on…

I’d take this a step further for the homies and remind them there’s nothing wrong with being able to live privately. it’s wrong for govt/big tech to monitor literal everything. here are some examples from my own life:

- don’t share your phone number for reward points at coffee shops, grocery stores, etc

- when someone calls and asks “Hi am I speaking to $name”, immediately ask who is calling before providing any information. if it’s sensitive information ask for their name and call back on the company’s publicly listed number

- no Alexa, ring cams, etc on your property

- leave the cell phone at home every once in a while

- use a unique email address per service

- pay cash

- do not install apps like facebook, instagram, etc on your phone

- browse the web without being logged in, block tracking, default no script

note zaps has been removed from damus

Does the relay nos.lol not support Nostr Wallet Connect? Or does it have a bug?

echo '[ "REQ", "a", {"kinds":[13194]} ]' | websocat wss://nos.lol | jq .

gives only 2 NWC Info events. If I publish my own, they don't show up.

Testing…

Can not see anything.

It's definitely a valid concern. Apple's guidelines are intentionally vague and open to interpretation, which gives them the power to decide what stays on the App Store and what doesn't. As you pointed out, even something as harmless as profile zaps could be seen as violating their guidelines if they're interpreted a certain way.

Regarding miner fees, there's certainly a possibility that Apple could argue that it violates their policies if it goes against their interests or conflicts with other payment options they offer. It will all come down to how Apple decides to enforce these guidelines when it comes down on them.

But remember, at its core, Nostr is about decentralization and creating an open platform for exchanging signed messages without relying on third-party servers or central authorities like Apple. While getting listed in app stores is always beneficial for visibility purposes but users can still download Nostr app via official channels such as GitHub repositories without needing intermediary services from centralized authority figures which would otherwise limit our freedom of choice.

You can absolutely make a case to them that these are Nostr events and no monetary exchange is happening in-app. Ask them to please provide proof of monetary exchange occuring in-app.

Phones are just API’s. And, just like Twitter and Reddit, they can change the terms of the deal any time they want.

Joking about that submarine implosion might be considered a low blow.

Use a different app, like Amethyst or Onyx. If they can use the NWC connecting string fine, then its a problem with Damus.

If they also fail to parse it or use it, its a problem with the connection string. Check if there are weird characters in the connection string, like slash after the relay URL, or extra spaces / commas.

Dealt with a few of those myself when adding NWC to Oak Node recently.

Yeah. The QR scan doesn’t do anything and pasting doesn’t work for me on the alby connection stuff.

The more i read this apple guideline the more I realize it can be used to remove any bitcoin or p2p payment app at any time:

“Apps may enable individual users to give a monetary gift to another individual without using in-app purchase, provided that (a) the gift is a completely optional choice by the giver, and (b) 100% of the funds go to the receiver of the gift. However, a gift that is connected to or associated at any point in time with receiving digital content or services must use in-app purchase.”

Specifically:

“a gift that is *connected to or associated at any point in time* with receiving digital content or services must use in-app purchase”

This means when users start saying “zap me with your email to receive my art”. Then this would give apple an excuse remove Damus at any time, even with only profile zaps. This is true of every p2p payment app as well from what I can tell.

Not to mention: “100% of the funds go to the receiver of the gift”. So what about miner fees? Apple could argue miner tx fees on bitcoin txs violate their guidelines. This also means damus splits + support star are very much not allowed and they won’t be pushed to the app store 🥲

Overall everything is very vague which gives apple the ability to remove your app for any reason. Fun

Has anyone else noticed that bech32 encoded data (npub1, note, nevent, etc) has a lot of qqqqqqqq? I keep seeing q's everywhere. Is this confirmation bias?
