nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 tried to send to my Zeus lightning wallet android app from Blink, got no route found. Is that common?

back when programming languages (or scripting languages rather) had the philosophy that there was more than one way of doing things.

Just bring your papers with you. It's not that hard. I've lived in foreign countries most of my life. I always check that I have them with me, every time I leave. Once I left everything behind in a hotel 4 hour drive away and noticed in evening at the hotel at checkin. I went to the police and reported that I had lost it, they registered it and wrote a statement that it was registered, and first thing I did was go back to retrieve the documents that luckily was there. Anxious, because I realized that was my bad and if worse happened that was my responsibility.

Your argument only has any real effect if you imagine the state appartus salivates at the prospect of deporting as many people as possible. And since it is like that, all sorts of sophistry is needed that makes law enforcement much more difficult if not impossible.

I don't leave in a world of fear. I take responsibility.

Same thing happened to a friend of mine. In that case, though, Revolut just asked him "give us A wallet to send back to." He gave them his own. Sucks, but at least he kept the funds. FWIW, as long as it lasts.

At least it increases the cost of compliance so that smaller providers and incumbent challengers will have a harder time.

The main problem is what they force you to share, and thus make prone to leaks.

I stayed at a place in Diani, Kenya once where the german proprietor had written and maintained a POS software for decades written entirely in excel. It looked just like regular POS system.
