Same regarding Strike - one of the ranchers here in Denver uses it. I’ve debated accepting bitcoin payments for my tennis lessons, but I’d like to just send them to a wallet vs having to use a zaprite or BTCPay server.

I have time to research stuff, since semi-retired, but still highly weight personal recommendations.

Bitcoin vs global liquidity:

Bitcoin vs global liquidity:

I was intrigued - it has good reviews and seems like it is designed with an eye toward the future with Onchain, Lightning, Liquid...even handling stablecoins. Not that the last use case means much to me. Most of my "gotta have it now" transactions would be in support of the circular #btc economy by paying with sats vs USD for small purchases.

I'm just not the type to want a bunch of wallets with small amounts in them - want to consolidate. I am using Sparrow for watch-onlys with my different hardware devices...now want a good mobile hot wallet that can do "all the other things" and act like the "checking account" with pretty small balances.

And have you tried Phoenix and Mutiny to have a comparison (or even Muun).

Question for #asknostr - what happens if users are reported? I noticed a “report user” option on Primal. Do the client devs get that report and if so what’s the process there?

Do clients provide some level of content moderation or is it mostly up to the user to choose what and who they see?

On TikTok there are a lot of repliers who seem concerned about trolls or other villains. As a veteran of old-Twitter, I’m not very concerned, myself, haha, but I am curious how this all shakes out in #nostr.

last night I had a buzz and ordered this on Amazon

do you know what it is?

Since I stack sats, versus spend them, I keep very small balances in Lightning wallets...a BlueWallet that I use to zap on nostr and a Muun wallet for transacting with other bitcoiners in person (I used this one at Pacific Bitcoin).

I'm interested in moving off of at least Muun, but what's the latest reviews/recommendations on mobile Lightning wallets...particularly:

- Aqua (handles Lightning, on-chain, and Liquid...if I ever decided that was of interest)

- Phoenix

- Mutiny

- BlueWallet (old, familiar standby that I also used for watch-only with ColdCard before moving to Sparrow)

I'm confused. physical sims work on signal

If we spoke via email, please use the protonmail, the other one had issues

In 2007 US Debt-to-GDP was 62%. Today it's 129%.

Political insiders absolutely fleeced the country over the past 16 years.

And before they try to convince you it's your patriotic duty to pay off this debt, remember this:

As the bombs dropped overseas, the infrastructure crumbled at home.

Central Bankers suppressed interest rates and enabled political graft while health and education standards fell.

Politicians voted on legislation by day, and managed 7, 8, and 9 figure portfolios by night.

And the media propagandists made sure that the rabble looked left or right, instead of up at the leaders, or down at their pockets being emptied.

So today the debt bill sits at $31.6 Trillion.

And currency debasement is the only way to pay it off.

The plutocrats have gotten theirs, and now they're going to stick the rest of us with the bill.

But there's a way to protect your hard-earned monetary energy: #Bitcoin

It's the only money they can't seize, debase, or manipulate. Which makes it ideal for surviving the coming fiat flood.

I grew up in an ag community in south Texas...they were feeling things then, but now it is crazy.

Pro/Con of “Privacy” Phone Numbers/Services

JMP.chat

Type: Number

Pro: No KYC VoIP to XMPP (or Matrix) for anonymous Bitcoin, so you're using an open source client

Con: Only US and Canada numbers. They're just reselling Twillio VoIP, which means that not only are you just paying more just for anonymity, but many services recognize these as Twillio VoIP numbers and will block you.

Solutions: There exists the possibility of buying a real world physical SIM and then transferring over service to JMP VoIP. But you’re better off using 1 time burner services for most account registry.

Hushed

Type: Number

Pro: No KYC VoIP for Bitcoin, similar to JMP.chat

Con: Uses their proprietary client which isn’t private through the Google Play store. I’d avoid Hushed.

Silent Link

Type: Number + Service

Pro: No KYC Crypto SIM card that separates billing and identity from the literal cell tower carrier

Con: Uses eSIM which requires Graphene’s Google Push service sandboxed. No outgoing calls.

Calyx Institute Hotspots

Type: Service

Pro: No KYC WiFi hotspot for Crypto

Con: It’s just reselling T-mobile service, so if you use this in your home and your home is KYC, then T-mobile will likely figure out that it’s you since celltowers see geolocation.

Solutions: You can avoid this by putting the hotspot in a faraday bag, and only using it outside your home.

MySudo

Type: Number

Pro: Multiple burner VoIP lines

Con: Requires Google Play store JUST to PAY for it, but then can be used on a degoogled phone once you add credit.

Solutions: This can be sandboxed or put on a separate old device and you can use bitrefill to buy the credits with cryptocurrency

SMS.usmobilenumbers.com

Type: Number

Pro: Quick easy cheap burner anonymous SMS verification for cryptocurrency. It’s real SIMs and not VoIP.

Con: US only. They resell the number for OTHER services, which MAY trigger anti-fraud for SOME services including Zelle, eBay, PayPal, LinkedIn, and others. So you risk a ban on accounts.

Solutions: Avoid putting money in any account for a few days to see. Use a residential proxy IP instead of a datacenter VPN, especially for eBay.

VirtualSim.net

Type: Number

Pro: Great for abusing foreign numbers in poor countries such as Cambodia or Ukraine for Signal or Telegram. Quick easy cheap burner anonymous SMS verification and/or longer term monthly numbers for cryptocurrency. It’s real SIMs and not VoIP. Their customer support is excellent and we highly recommend them for Telegram verifications.

Con: They may loose access to the burner number after a period of time (like a year) where you can’t renew and someone else COULD potentially verify the number.

Crypton.sh

Type: Number

Pro: Huge amount of countries for real SMS anonymous crypto. Get sought after Western European #s here that normally have strict KYC rules on physical SIMs

Con: Overpriced setup fee for 1 time SMS verification, but if you actually live in (or desire) that country it’s okay. There’s no real purpose in all their “at rest encryption” advertising, because SMS is unencrypted transport.

unfortunately for the carnivore maxi’s i have introduced a slice of sourdough bread into my diet and there is no going back

also as an alcohol “enthusiast” since i was basically 16 (cool!) i have come to realize in my 15th day of sobriety that alcohol is a shitcoin and life is better lived without it, or with but in extreme moderation

nicotine and caffeine are still goated.

booze has been cut from the roster
