Are you really worried? We don't need Twitter to die for nostr to be successful.

I see crazy potential for network effects in the nostr ecosystem, where all these apps feed into each other. Twitter is done. Still I go there for some dopamine infinite scrolling ...

You got me anxious but I'm still good ...

Greetings from Chile.

Why does nostrnests not support nip07? What is it with this verification of your nostrnests account?

So lets say you rent a car. The company would take your CC and "threaten" to charge it if you return the car dirty or scratched or whatnot. With a Bitcoin wallet I could remove any allowance the minute I receive the key.

For this insurance use case, the wallet would require me to lock up funds with the company. Maybe 2-of-3 with a trusted third party. I see no other way than to involve a third party to force the client's payment.

Of course the third party could also be a respected insurance where the car company would trust to get a payment. This would allow the client to avoid locking up $10k for a car rental in exchange for paying some monthly fee for example.

Not sure if I'm following you. With my Uber configured, I'd usually confirm paying only within the Uber app. My wallet would get notifications and issue payments. If my wallet is not reachable, Uber would tell me that payment failed like it does with an expired CC resulting in the ride not getting booked.

Now my webhoster might not instantly delete my stuff the second my wallet doesn't play along. It could send me a warning email that a payment failed and how it will be re-tried tomorrow etc. again like it does with CC.

All this is compatible with my proposal. What are you missing?

No, I am not working on this but I hope to use this asap instead of CC ;)

I actually did in an attempt to explain why daddy won't take her on a wingsuit ride anytime soon. She was not impressed by Jeb ending up in hospital. Her idea was that he went there for a day or so I think.

The credit-card style recurring payments are certainly not what clients want. With Bitcoin we can do better. We could have Bitcoin wallets that do payments upon request from authorized entities where the user sees:

* Spotify may pull up to $15/month

* Uber may pull up to $100 per transaction, $100 per day, $300 per month

* ...

And that wallet should:

* Show a notification when limits get exceeded: Uber requested $12, exceeding your $300/month limit by $5. Do you want to increase the limit to $305, allow only this payment now or decline this payment

* Suggest lowering limits if not used: Spotify hasn't requested payments in 3 months. Allowance removed. Click to undo.

* Permit to manually change or remove allowances.

Payments would still be push payments but the payer would be in control. No bogus charges where you have no idea who did them. No hours on some hotline to get your subscription canceled. Etc.

Much hate here but I love when I can use my nostr extension to SSO. It better work on mobile, too though, which so far is a bit lacking. But then you can bring your profile and people can follow you on nostr ... why not?

My daughter now wants to fly wingsuit. She's 3.

Nice fix! Or did you film the left side and mirror the video? ;D

Two months ago I caused a similar damage to a neighbors car and in the end they accepted 500€ while them and others convinced me that handling it via the insurance the fix would have cost at the very least 2500€.

At least Snort does not linkify valid urls unless you write a full url with protocol:// https://plebai.com

I'm missing the sovereign individual here. It would be my top book about Bitcoin without mentioning Bitcoin.

What if the "Wallet Of Satoshi" really is the next rug pull?

(Please, if you are a net receiver of sats and use WoS or any other custodial wallet, make it a habit to pull out funds to a self-hosted wallet once a week or so.)
