I need some real data. Can you please go to the phone's Settings / Apps / Amethyst / Storage & Cache and tell me how much "User Data" do you have? Thanks!

Mine is 209kb

Trump picked Vance as his VP running mate.

Notably from a financial analyst perspective, Vance disclosed owning bitcoin a few years ago, and has expressed the view that the dollar being the global reserve currency has hollowed out the US industrial base.

Useful discussion on Xitter about how to check if your BIP-353 DNS records have DNSSEC setup correctly:

Almost there! You must enable DNSSEC on your domain.

This should contain "AD":true

So you’d need more than just a bolt12 offer to know how to communicate with the lightning app, right? Sounds more complicated than the current spec which simply requires a lightning address.

Hmm ya maybe it's way harder than it seems, as is most things in Bitcoin 🫣

We’d need a new nip for bolt12 zaps. I still don’t understand how that would even be possible. There needs to be a way to send information with the payment about what you’re zapping. Currently, we send that information when requesting the invoice, but that step doesn’t exist with a bolt12 payment.

Contrary to Churchill’s take, I believe Democracy is perhaps the worst form of government to exist.

100,000 Lichtensteins is the model I think can work at scale. Lots of smaller autonomous communities who are not beholden to the whims of people hundreds or thousands of kilometres away let alone on the other side of the planet, with localised leadership of people who have skin in the game.

This accounts for social/cultural differences between areas and peoples. The people of Broome shouldn’t be beholden to the Socialists of Melbourne - in fact they should share zero governance between them. And the people of Broome and Melbourne should have absolutely nothing to do with edicts from cunts like the WHO or IMF or any other supranational body.

Decentralising will force those with a collectivist mindset to focus on their own backyards rather than being enabled to virtue signal about the poors that they have zero interaction with.

Seeing chuggers successfully go around collecting money mostly from women to purportedly send to some poors overseas whilst there are homeless people sitting 10m away, junkies all over, kids down the street who don’t get regular meals and men forced out of work by immigrants who those women supported importing, that really drives home the need for decentralisation and localisation over these retarded globalist socialist forms of governance.

We miss you Phoenix!

Is anyone working on a bolt12 standard? I already self-host a JSON file for LNURL so it's very little effort for me to add a bolt12 (using cln to receive).

do iOS users need to have the app open in order to receive payments for a bolt12 offer?

New major release! Phoenix Android/iOS/Server now supports BOLT12:

- reusable, non-expiring payment requests

- contact list (Android for now, iOS soon)

- attach messages to payments

You can now receive payments to a static bolt-12 offer via Phoenix and keep a list of offers in your contact list!
