The answer is gold. It's always gold. The Americans and Canadians own the largest gold mine in Latin America, which is in the Dominican Republic.
The Dominican Republic is a western creation to deny the people of Hispaniola the profits from the mines on the island.
The Dominican Republic has been a USA vassal since the Americans invaded in 1965. Keeping the island and people impoverished and devided has been the responsibility of the CIA ever since.
By having an imaginary line drawn, and supporting crime gangs, warlords and human trafficking on the other side of the line, the Americans can easily keep control of the wealth they've stolen by having controlled instability on the island.
It's litterly the CIA playbook of operations.
This way, those that profit from the occupation are content, while people on social media spread western propaganda on behalf of the USA/CIA.
I really don't care what you think. And I don't think anyone else does either. Yet you are very interested in my opinion. You're also easily triggered too.
Your name calling is very childish and indicates a limited education. I doubt we could ever have any meaningful conversations.
You have fun with your name calling though, it suits you.
Not going to answer my question? How about you stop giving people false assurance that they don't have to trust a bunch of anonymous nobody's.
Who's embarrassing themselves?
Why don't you put your money where your mouth is and personally guarantee people's funds then if you're so confident that it's impossible for Zeus to keep people's payments?
Will you do that?
I bet you don't.
Because you know damn well that Zeus can change the way they process payments at any time and keep people's Bitcoin.
But you seem reluctant to say that, but you're happy to insult me for telling the truth.
What's your name? What's your company address and phone number?
If you won't even say who you are, why should people trust you?
You're different? You're anonymous. Why should anyone trust you,
What makes you any more trustworthy than every other scammer that said 'trust me bro'?
So, you admit that you can choose to stop processing payments and keep them yourself? And people should just trust a bunch of anonymous nobody's because you're different?
I'll say it again and I dare you or anyone to say I'm wrong.
The only way to have a non-custodial lightning address is to own the domain name and run your own lnurlp server.
Anyone that says anything different is lying and should not be trusted.
Anyone that says their lightning address service is non-custodial is a liar.
You can bugger off with your bullshit too.
They control the domain name. They control where the payment goes. They can choose to forward the payment to you, or they can keep the Bitcoin themselves.
Users have to trust that they won't decide to rug-pull them, which they can do whenever they want by charging the way they process payments.
Am I wrong?
Can they change the way they process payments and keep any Bitcoin they receive whenever they want?
Go on, answer that question. I want you to say here that it is impossible for Zeus to change the way they process payments and keep people's Bitcoin.
Bloody hell, you're really laying on the bullshit today.
This conversation started when you said...
> Our service is not custodial.
You're the one that claimed your service was not custodial.
I called you out for this bullshit claim. And now your trying to play the victim by insinuating that made I've made false claims about you.
You inserted yourself into a conversation to advertise your service by making a false claim that your service was not custodial.
And now, you've finally admitted that your original claim was indeed a lie and your service is custodial and you can indeed rob people of their Bitcoin.
I never told any lies, you did. Everything I've said in this conversation is the truth. You've done nothing but try and hide the fact that people have to trust you with their Bitcoin if they use your service.
Which is the exactly the same risk everyone takes if they are using a lightning address service that they don't personally own themselves. You're no different than anyone else providing this service, except that you lie and say yours is not custodial.
There is some trust involved that we mitigate with Nostr events but it sounds like you don’t know how hold invoices work.
Read more on how it all works here: https://github.com/supertestnet/zaplocker?tab=readme-ov-file#four-problems-zaplocker-solves
Bloody hell, stop this bullshit already. Users uploads payment hashes to zaplocker. Zaplocker decides to rug-pull and replaced the user payment hashes with their own payment hashes. Users Bitcoin is gone.
When a user gives their payment hash to a third party and has to trust that third party won't rug-pull them, that's custodial. Being the custodian of payment hashes is still a custodial service.
Just be honest and tell your users that using your address service requires a certain amount of trust in your company.
The more you keep saying you're lightning address service doesn't rely on trust and is non-custodial, the more you sound like scammers setting up a rug-pull.
And who's invoice do they serve? It's not the users, it's theirs. They sure as hell can spend or keep that. If the Bitcoin isn't in your channel, it's not your Bitcoin.
They 'hold' the Bitcoin until their users collect it. What do you think hold means?
The only way anyone can have a non-custodial lightning address, is by owning the domain that serves the address. If you're using someone else's domain, they can take control and keep any Bitcoin sent to the address. And there's nothing you can do to stop that. You just have to trust the domain owner.
Oh, well, those addresses aren't done by wallets. They are done with a Linux server running lnurlp software. When you see wallets like Zeus or Alby offering those addresses, they are a custodial service that forwards the Bitcoin to you after they receive it.
If you just want an simple lightning address, go to lnwallet.app and you can create an address with a single click. When you receive zaps ⚡, just forward them to your Phoenix wallet. It includes a NWC connection so you can link it to your nostr client to send zaps.
You can also register a nostr NIP-05 address at onlynostr.club and point it at the lightning address you created in the previous step. That's what I do. That's how I have that same vanity address as my lightning address as well.
There are some. With no algorithm to push their posts into people's feeds to encourage an outrage response, they're mostly just left to themselves. You'll find them yelling at clouds if you want to search for them.
If you can't stand the heat, turn the thermostat down.
Paid relays, and WoT relays aren't going to have much, if any, spam. For getting notes from the people you follow, and making sure that people that follow you can read your notes without getting flooded by spam, especially for people with limited data, they work well.
You can add or remove as many open relays as you want. You can chose to see every single ReplyBuy bot post, millions of them if you want to. You can run your own relay and help ReplyBuy spread his spam if you want to.
The person paying to run a relay, gets to choose what it relays. That's the beauty, and censorship resistance of nostr. You can run a relay that exclusively does ReplyBuy bot spam and no one can stop you. Just as no one would ever use your relay if you did that.
If the captain has died of scurvy, the crew were already dead. Who is going to write in the Captain's log, if the captain is dead?
You've presented zero evidence of your hypothesis. There's over five thousand years of history about scurvy. It's causes and prevention are well understood.
Without any scientific evidence and data, you're litterly just making shit up. You're not a qualified biologists and you've done zero research. Eating meat alone will cause a vitamin c deficiency and scurvy. That's a scientific fact. And will remain so you until someone, anyone presents data that refutes that.
If you can point me to any scientific research or evidence, real historical evidence, I'd love to read it. Because if you go and actually read some shit yourself, well, start with Cook's journals. His research into scurvy was ground breaking and led to the great age of discovery.
Yes, relays store everything. You can run a personal relay to store your own stuff. I use Citrine on my phone.
If they used Amber, they wouldn't have been able to make this rage post. 😂
They absolutely did get scurvy. It was Captain Cook that proved that scurvy was preventable by forcing his crew to eat sauerkraut which had a high vitamin c content. Only eating meat, caused scurvy which is a vitamin c deficiency.
Hold down a lightning bolt like you're going to zap someone and keep touching it and after a few seconds, a menu screen will pop up so you can change the zap amounts.
