Sorry, I still don't understand.

The mint (= some dudes who give out tokens for ... whatever reason. It could be for lightning payments or for goods and services or for fiat payments) issues IOUs. The number of tokens might be one per sat or one per dollar equivalent according to this and that exchange or according to that non-exchange index provider aka oracle? How does a DLC improve anything?

To my understanding, a DLC works as follows:

* We lock up funds with this script

* An oracle is needed that publishes hashes for opposing events and only the pre-images of actual occurring events

* With pre-image of hash A, it can be spent in one way

* With pre-image of hash B, it can be spent in another way

Who pays into this DLC contract? Where does the contract pay to?

I think it's not a bad idea to discourage spam and fake account by making accounts costly.

The problem is that Musk wants $1, not because it changes his bottom line but because he wants the KYC which not only helps with bad actors but more importantly helps with targeted advertisement and now he can roll out payment solutions to all his known customers etc.

On nostr we could have proof of burn which is essentially the proof-of-work that already is being used but we could also turn this into "proof of supporting something that's probably not just your other pocket". I would give an ear to any account that zapped more than $10 to a project I care about in the last month. Each user might have a different list of causes and the causes and of course if I value the Snort nostr client, Kieran could spawn spam accounts that zap him but then that's my problem and not everybody's.

Can you please elaborate? Excuse my ignorance but how do DLCs fit in here? A Chaumian mint is fundamentally custodial and while it can provide all the transparency in the world, it can close shop at any time, right? A DLC contract could force hands between mint operators but not between token holders and the mint, right?

If we want to promote nostr the protocol over clients, we could use links like client.domain/onboard/npub... and host https://github.com/fiatjaf/njump there, with each client provider putting their personal preferences for acceptable clients there. I would find it a nice gesture to link between clients, with the own client on top.

The use of any domain is problematic as there is no guarantee for these links to work ten years from now or ... tomorrow.

If Snort works fine without being logged in, why not default to snort?

I'm conflicted about what to share to get people join nostr. "Follow me on nostr: npub..." ... people have no idea what to do with that. Sharing my profile link on one of the clients is "wrong" but more accessible. Those who know, know how to find me on their preferred client. The noobs though get a reasonably decent experience. njump is just an indirection.

Hey, have a "like" even though for all I know you might be a bot. These are virtually free these days, too. ;)

I want to see who of my follows' follows is following me and how many. Anything beyond that is not really relevant.

nostr:npub1qg8j6gdwpxlntlxlkew7eu283wzx7hmj32esch42hntdpqdgrslqv024kw is the real Adam to my knowledge. But he's not really around these days.

I still can't get why many people here are so into zapping that they organize zapathons. I find it awkward to zap anything less than a decent coffee worth of sats.

The way to get me to tip tiny amounts would probably be as follows:

* Every "like" pays a tip of an amount that was made public in my profile

* Receiving is opt-out: Clients come with their integrated wallet (keys derived from npriv). Sadly this is difficult with LN as the receiver needs to be online and active. With most people using a custodial lightning node, using a custodial chaumian cash instead wouldn't make things worse and it could be interoperable with LN.

* Sending is opt-out: Unless you define a different amount, your profile gets set to 1sat per like

* Clients show last month's sats tipped via likes

Primal notifies me of followers. Follower count is an obsolete metric. On nostr, creating millions of follows is cheaper than on any other platform. Stop notifying me of fake Adam Back's following me.

Nah. For now I'm good not debugging it further. Maybe I find time to dig into it if it's not fixed by Monday.

Snort does not work for me right now. I instantly get that screenshot above.

I'm all for that but for now I have to use primal or coracle ...

iris is now snort ...

both stopped working for me 5 minutes ago.

OMG. This is real time rendering? Imagine what's possible with slightly more time to fabricate all kind of fake video evidence. We are so screwed!

Watch the shadows that fall through a grape whine for example. Many moon-shaped spots.

(My most fun observation from the last eclipse here.)

In the last years, bundling "free" whatsapp with mobile plans became popular but on the other hand mobile internet is wildly more expensive in some parts than in others.

I feel like Chilean internet must be the cheapest in the world when I see posts like this. I pay $15 per month and my GB allowance went from initially 40GB over 400GB to now 1TB and I remember the limit wasn't even hard here. I had exceeded the 40GB and it just switched down from 4G to 3G.

In Germany on the other hand, many of my friends paid even more for 15GB plans or less. How is that possible?

When I was in Germany for three months, I "survived" with the roaming my Chilean company gave me "for free". 2GB + 1GB per month and unlimited WhatsApp for calls. During that time, I did not use nostr on the go and I wonder if those plans that are not agnostic to the use of the data are a stumbling block for nostr or if mobile data will get as cheap as it is in Chile all over the world, making some GB a non-issue.
