keep nostr weird

its tru 😥

got a preview of being a pariah during the "vaxx" drama. I guess that's all the preparation many of us will get

well said

Many custodial lightning wallets can send to normal onchain addresses, blink, wallet of satoshi, i haven't tried other ones. You might get hit on fees though. An alternative is a submarine swap like boltz.exchange any lightning wallet can send sats and boltz will send to an onchain address.

You accepted their bad framing and failed before you even started thinking about the issue.

Do these "redditors" realize reddit is just a website on the internet which they also can't moderate?

Do they live in cities where citizens have private homes in which they can discuss anything without being moderated?

These people are just repeating authoritarian talking points. The reason is that people in power need to control the frame in order to continue their campaign of squashing freedom. You are playing into their hands by even considering this framing as anything but what it is: mistaken or poorly thought out at best and abject propaganda at worst.

That sounds ridiculous if you're working on a phd, I can't imagine an good university doing that. Probably a bad sign for your department, be careful.

gui ux will hold you back. just learn the real thing asap and you'll be better off. same with latex.

You need to know how many ecash tokens to send so that the mint can pay your invoice. With a less private custodian they could just pay from your balance but the mint does not know your balance.

Invite only, you can read my notes and some others' too there

The advantages are: private payments, non-custodial (don't have to worry about wos rugging you), low fees if you make a lot of payments.

Probably only makes sense if you get paid in Bitcoin and need to make a lot of payments or if you run a business that accepts lightning payments.
