I love #Amethyst but the choppy scrolling is almost a showstopper.
It kills the experience π₯Ή

Oh man... I just updated my OnePlus 7 pro to Android 13... and now Amethyst scrolls slow AF....
Any idea Vitor?
Actually, that would be a great premium feature. lf people pay, you could provide such a server based service, no?
If I'm on Wifi, the Relais-Icon shows 4/4 and everything works great
..but as soon as I switch to LTE, it changes to 0/0 and there is no nostr-connectivity anymore π’
Nope.. sadly definitely not working π€·
I'm on Android 11, Oneplus 7pro.
I noticed, that Amethyst only works via WiFi but not on my mobile connection. Is that intentional?
Descriptor wallet got updated to v0.9.2 with better command-line explorer functions: miniscript support, tx fee & minimg info, P2W* witness parsing, RBF info and colors!
`cargo install descriptor-wallet --all-features`
https://github.com/BP-WG/descriptor-wallet/releases/tag/v0.9.2

You should definitely connect a lightning wallet, so you can receive zaps!
All the others will come when it's frictionless and polished ux, and a lot of people to find already. lightning-micropayments are a big enabler, imho π₯
free speech, duh π€
That's no real world solution. Imagine an app was trustworthy but gets hacked for example. keyrotation is necessary, or it's gonna be a cute playground forever.
Amethyst could run background-service that searches for new content and notifies when new stuff arrives π§
#[2] deserves some serious Sats π° too folks, he creates the Android counterpart Amethyst!! It's really promising π₯π₯
Are you referring to NIP-42 ? Don't get it π€
seedsigner is creating am easy tool for managing delegation. @vitor please prioritice nip26, really important for adoption!
