That's extremely valid for personal mental health

Unpopular opinion:

It makes no sense to delete Twitter in order to grow Nostr. Growing Nostr makes Nostr grow, not the shrinking of another platform.

NOSTR exclusive content is helpful for growth as is the sharing of NOSTR exclusive content outside of NOSTR.

Deleting Twitter is just virtue signaling, not something that is helpful for growing the Nostr network.

Lol don't get hung up on the products for suits. That's not where the revolution happens.

Both were an issue.

Custodial structure made you reliant on their infrastructure and their node was unable to pay due to either their infrastructure, liquidity, visibility, or some other restriction they created on their infrastructure.

I haven’t used BlueWallet for Lightning since they had a custodial offering…

Today I see I can remotely connect it to an nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm Hub node āš”ļøšŸ”„

Thoughts on Blue vs Zeus for this use case? Zeus is brilliant for the-node-in-the-phone, but I haven’t used to connect to a node remotely before. Pros/Cons?

I *loved* BlueWallet’s UI/UX for Lightning, until they started wrapping up the custodial service, and outgoing payments would fail 90% of the time. I’m assuming that wouldn’t happen for the Alby Hub connection, since BlueWallet is simply providing an interface for a remote node… right?

Using Alby Hub won't guarantee that you have payment reliability since that is related to your channels you maintain on your Alby Hub node.

We're working on some tools to support this at Amboss, so stay tuned.
