I would love a standard for #Nostr apps to read relays from either

1) A relays list stored in Nostr

2) a standard file format for import and export.

3) something else more cleverer

And all Nostr apps used these methods.

As a user I find it annoying to be presented with needing to copy / paste each relay.

The friction will push us to centralization and reduces the network effect of Nostr. npub / nsec is less portable if I have difficulty keeping relay lists synced. Results in odd behavior. #devs #asknostr

I have had some apps magically have my relays and others not and I’m not sure why or how I can do more. A step in the right direction would be if apps asked nsec bunker or nos2x for the lists. Then I could have them in one place and just upload whenever I wanted.

I don’t, I’m teaching people how bitcoin works. First we buy KYC, next I’ll teach them about software watches and moving their bitcoin off exchanges. Then we’ll move on to hardware wallets. I’ll explain why o but pen source and bitcoin only. Then we’ll get raspberry Pi’s and build our own nodes. One step at a time.

If you take a newby and start using unfamiliar language and technical jargon you will stop the learning process because they don’t understand. If you start with the basics and teaching by doing people tend to become curious about the next steps.

With so much fake idolatry for people with no values, I want to share the memory of a human being we genuinely can look up to. On this day, Nov 9th, 1934. Astronomer and Science communicator Carl Sagan was born. "The cosmos is within us. We are made of Star Stuff". Thanks for inspiring millions to wonder. Humbled. He would be 89 today. Gone too soon.

Bitcoin-only. The others have bloatware that introduces potential attack vectors.

Operation Chokepoint goes just as far as we think. I own a small business and my payroll company won’t direct deposit into my Fold Card account. We checked the numbers several times, confirmed it with Fold and the payroll company still says it’s an invalid routing number. They are lying.

I tried to get my teenage sons set up on Fold, Strike or Swan so they could start DCAing a few dollars a week. We tried each app one by one and the text confirmation never came through. We tried several times over the course of a month or so, following solutions posted in each app’s FAQ and changing settings according to what I found on the internet, with no success. Eventually, after spending several hours researching the problem I discovered that the phone service provider, AT&T, was blocking conformation texts from companies that are not on its approved list.

We had to physically call AT&T and sign a document to allow text confirmations from companies our service provider didn’t think were “safe” for us.

My response to the whole thing “Congratulations boys, I think you are on your first government watchlist.” and “Guess whose going to get a hardware wallet for Christmas?!”
