Anyway who should I follow? We'll see if you're right
It's a chicken-and-egg problem.
Nostr is boring, so I'm boring.
As long as I have Twitter, where almost everything I say gets some sort of reaction, I have no incentive to put 10x more effort in here for 1/10 the engagement.
That's not really true. Twitter took about 10 years
That wasn't nothing haha
And Twitter was easier because people actually responded to things I said
On here it's just crickets
It's probably a matter of personal preference but personally I think nostr:nprofile1qqsyvrp9u6p0mfur9dfdru3d853tx9mdjuhkphxuxgfwmryja7zsvhqpzamhxue69uhhv6t5daezumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcscpyug's Amethyst is the best Android client
I tried Amethyst before moving to Nostr and it's a lot worse.
For the longest time I couldn't search for certain people to zap them
Nostr is kinda boring, ngl
I come here every few months, and every time it's just tumbleweeds
Anyway, back to Twitter
Is Primal the best Nostr app on Android?

Bitcoin is not Communist
Have you looked into RFK’s policy? He’s been pro bitcoin from the jump https://youtu.be/1B03N1ZtUxs?si=5o91Er7aJvcJKvTg
yep, RFK is 1000% better than Trump
he understands how to run for office though heh
LN is extremely private
Nah. Lightning makes bitcoin a much, much better MoE than Monero can ever hope to achieve.
Bitcoiners, especially those actually trying to use it as money, which, in case you weren't aware, is what bitcoin is for.
Using the power of nostr to memorialize the worst bitcoin tweet I have seen in a long while. nostr:npub19z2uxvxz8uurr9kqa7vgmek6swurk3vra40ec8kmpf2eemx3lyqq6zfkd4 https://archive.ph/2024.02.20-173639/https://twitter.com/cguida6/status/1758695501606625533?t=rr8oTH1PH1rF8-Bw-s7c_A&s=19
What do you disagree with here?
The problem is that the initial sync slows to a crawl when UTXOs are stored on disk rather than in RAM.
You can see this effect most clearly in low-resource devices like Raspberry Pis with 4GB of RAM, which used to be able to sync the chain in just a few days, but now take around a month. This has resulted in these devices becoming practically useless as bitcoin nodes, whereas a year ago (when the utxoset was half as large as it is now), they were usable.
I consider Raspberry Pis to be the canary in the coalmine wrt UTXO set growth. Although they should probably never have been recommended, we should consider it a failure as a community when a whole class of devices is excluded from participating in the bitcoin network.
We need to be making it *easier*, not harder, to run a full node, and I consider this to be the #1 priority of the bitcoin community, as it is already extremely rare to find merchants who run their own nodes.
Although most computers can fit 10GB in memory at the moment, if the UTXO set were to expand to 50GB, which it could theoretically do in just a year in an attack scenario, the majority of computers would be unable to fit the UTXO set in memory, and would thus be less and less likely to be able to sync bitcoin in a reasonable amount of time.
Obviously 400GB does not fit into RAM unless you are spending tons of money on high-end servers. Let's avoid requiring high-end servers to use bitcoin.

Bold prediction!
I would love to take devimint, fully daemonize it, the shove it into the backend of a Tauri app (https://tauri.app/) and then steal Polar's nice UI (cc: nostr:nprofile1qqstkse95s2spwj35mhjgfpq2tcnumu8lnwqtqznnjv0w35qkx9l3zcpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq35amnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wdaexzmn8v4cxjmrv9ejx2asv8xf4z ). Wonder how nix plays into this? (cc: nostr:nprofile1qqsz39wrxrpr7wp3jmqwlxydumdg8wpmgkp76huurmds54vuangljqqpzamhxue69uhkummnw3ezuendwsh8w6t69e3xj7spz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq36amnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3dwp6kytnhv4kxcmmjv3jhytnwv46q97ed2z )
I'm down! 💪
Seems nix could be used for a lot of it! Similarly to how devimint uses nix with fedimint now, but now with a UI!
The reason I love fedimint's current nix usage is that it allows lots of customization and close interaction via the command line. So the frontend would be great as a visualization tool, but I think I would be sad if the tmux interface went away. Maybe we could keep both?
