If the point here is 100% to be “self sovereign and non custodial”, then you missed the point on the last item

Anyone want to make some Sats?

Looking for some social share cards like the one I mocked up below.

Ideally putting #[1]​ quote of the day on there and linking to the Apps to onboard people to #nostr

It’s Nostream’s anniversary! 🥳

(well, technically it was yesterday May 24th but I missed it)

Thanks to everyone running Nostream, contributors and users for trusting your bits to it! 💜

That’s Zebedinho

where you giving this away at the conference?

some people I know who went said they were explicitly told only to fulfill cash app qr codes, not lightning ones

Not true. I paid Lightning invoices from Blixt.

If this becomes the preferred way for people to use nostr, then the nostr client becomes a defacto custodial wallet, even though they may not be focusing on that.

It's a change from a "push" based payment to a "pull" based one. The responsibility for security of customer funds now rests on the nostr client. How much: All of it? None of it? Some of it? Do they even want that?

If an exploit is found, or bug introduced - hackers will very quickly exploit it to its maximum (one of the best things about lightning! but also one of the most challenging). Even with limits set, that can be a lot of money, and a lot of damage to everybody involved.

What is a woman?

Does that question trigger you? Does that question out me as a certain type of person?

What used to be a simple question that any 4-year-old could answer has now become a political hot potato. The reason is ultimately fiat money. Stay with me, because I can already feel your skepticism. What does transgenderism have to do with fiat money?

The reason is that in a fiat money society the government budget is essentially infinite. And that money is very powerful. But with that power comes a lot of needs. In a normal budget, you have to trade off claims of one group against another. But in a fiat budget, there's no real tradeoff, just the magnitude of the injustice that needs correction.

Thus, every group is incentivized to play victim. The bigger the perceived injustice, the more you'll get compensated through government action. Hence, every group exaggerates their victimhood. It's become something of a contest and it's funny to watch one victim group proclaim bigger victim status than another.

Transgenderism and its claims are another vector to claim victim status. It's what will get influence and more government spending. And questions like "what is a woman" being triggering is a way to claim a bigger victimhood status, and the potential purse that comes with it.

If you follow anything far enough, it always goes back to the money. And we have a terrible, terrible money.
