Talking shit

No you would need to send to a lightning invoice - likely because they need to associate the incoming sats to issue you ecash- if they were using a lightning address I don’t think they could associate the balance to your key

They did this in the United States during Covid - I was able to go into settings and disable it, you can probably do the same

Govt can get bent with the fear mongering (and everything else it does)

Anyone watch what bitcoin did with Eric wall?

He was trying to claim all Nostr users are using centralized services to do micropayments and that eth users are actually being more decentralized, this is demonstratively false although some are using central services (myself included for receiving zaps), it’s easy enough to send sats from self custody and there are things in the works to do receives to self custody and if you are enough of a power user now you are already doing this.

Default wallet settings for cell network and default for wifi

Reason is I can’t zap from my node unless on my wifi (could use Tor but unreliable lately)

It’s an implementation of chaumian ecash. No blockchain, basically you can deposit bitcoin(over lightning) into a mint which will issue you a claim to that amount of sats which you can send to others asp using that mint (centralized) or make payments out to others accepting lightning which will burn your ecash and send sats over lightning. It’s trusted and centralized like wallet of satoshi however the balances and payments are hidden from the mint due to blinded signatures

Could be a pain in the ass if your mac isn’t always on and running - I use a dedicated raspberry pi and it works well enough for like $200 bucks

Anyway to get a lightning address from local node?

Just switched to Zeus connected to my own node

Shit is smooth

Ministry of nodes has great tutorials on this to make it easy or just use mynode start9 umbrel etc
