Welcome to #Nostr.

Great to see you representing #Taiwan!

I would provide ample time for independent learning and discovery.

Depending on the age group, this could look like lots of library time or some lightly-guided projects for older students where they can take weeks to explore a new topic and to design something to show what they found most interesting about it.

Each and every single one of you can be a teacher.

Start with yourself. Pick a hobby. Develop a new passion for a language. Discover the glories of past empires.

Share what you've learned with your friends and family. Discuss your interests with your neighbors.

Bring your skills to your communities: your neighborhood, your church, your community center, your office.

Bitcoiners and freedom lovers,

We have done such a great job of telling people about the importance of financial literacy, freedom tech, and so much more.

Some of you have even branched out into farming, beef, homesteading, prepping, and similar fields.

Thank you for all that you do to educate yourselves and those around you.

Dearest Nostr eGirls - NostrFans - #Bluesky Refugees,

Once you accumulate enough Zaps that you'd be sad and/or pissed off to see your money disappear, it might be time to talk about the next phase in your Bitcoin journey.

While Bitcoin is money you can't fuck with, many of you are using Wallet of Satoshi or Alby. You can fuck with these wallets. These are great and easy to use wallets, especially because they support Lightning addresses for Zaps. However, these companies hold your Bitcoin for you. You don't control it. They do. If that company went away or suffered a loss, you would lose your Bitcoin!

History has taught us time and time again with Bitcoin that it's "not your keys, not your coins". This just means if you dont own the keys to your Bitcoin, if you don't custody it yourself, it's not yours, it's theirs.

To fix this, you can run these Lightning wallets on your phone with nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg or Phoenix Wallet (and soon nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5). These are special wallets where they run a "node" (a mini server) on your phone that you control. They're fully self custodial. These wallets do not have Lightning addresses, so you can't "Zap" to them.

Here's what I recommend. Use Wallet of Satoshi or Alby until you hit a certain amount and then send it from that wallet to your other wallet that runs the node on your phone that you control. That way large amounts of money are in your control. This is now money no one can fuck with.

And most importantly, be sure to write down and store the backup words in a safe location. You'll see what I mean. ๐Ÿค™๐Ÿป

If you have questions, just ask here or ask #plebchain

Do any self-custody wallets exist hat will both work on mobile for zaps and for zaps & sign-in on desktop?

Hab keine gesehen, aber hoffentlich kรถnnten wir ein paar bald haben!

There are now quite a number of popular hashtags we #Nostriches use.

So as to avoid reinventing the wheel, I'll simply #asknostr:

Has anyone put together a solid guide to help newbies know when to use each? For example, when should they use #plebchain vs #grownostr? Should a #coffeechain tag come with a photo of your morning coffee?

What are the norms of our community?

I follow quite a few Bitcoin-related podcasts and blogs.

Are there any decent ones that focus on Monero? Where should people turn to learn about and keep up with Monero?

A friend has been asking for help in setting up his first #multsig wallet. He asked me for some pointers on what he could use to get started.

Never having done so, I now turn to #Swarmstr!

What desktop, mobile, or hardware wallets would you recommend to a total newbie for setting up his first multisig? Which would have the best online support (in the form of videos or blogs with step-by-step instructions?

I supposed that depends on where I am, but generally speaking I connect to servers in other countries but within the same continent.

Occasionally, if servers are overwhelmed, I'll look elsewhere.

So for example, if I'm visiting Spain, I'll connect to servers in Germany or Czechia. Or if I'm in Taiwan, I'll connect to ones in Japan.

I realize that a VPN doesn't provide anonymity, but it does offer one small degree of #privacy. Hopping to another country also offers one more step of separation between me and my data, allowing for slightly better #security.

#VPN #privacy

I loved Spain but haven't been or haven't spent time in any of the others you mentioned.

Any favourite cities or destinations within those countries? Any activities you'd recommend?

A week or so ago, I switched from #Amethyst to #Plebstr on my Android-based mobile.

The UI/UX is much better, and everything feels clean and smooth.

The only thing I wish Plebstr had was a bookmarking feature to save notes for later review. For now, I just copy the link to the note and save it externally.

So...@`plebstr`, any plans to include bookmarks in future iterations of your app?
