Some time ago I have found in a book bought at a charity shop a father's advice to his son. It was something about not getting involved in someone else's wars. It was a book about Che Guevara. The handwriting was at least a couple of decades old. I have been thinking about the father and his son many times since. It makes me always very sad.

But now I hope that your little brother going there just for holiday. And I wish him a great one. ❤️

Good to have such adventurous brother though.

anyone can recommend a VOIP solution for mobile similar to ZoiPer, an Android app?

#asknostr

I realise that there various #nostr users, yes. I find personal - well, accounts, profiles? - more authentic than the ones business-oriented. It happened though that I was persuaded to buy something with personal statements like that.

Sharing that with you because I think I don't mind that type of business. I remember guy who was doing it almost in a subliminal way on the dead bird site. Pokeblink or something like that.

Just saying, that being yourself might actually benefit you by showing that you're a human.

There are nostriches like that I believe. Thinking about a particular one, who often reminds me a catfish. Well we all sometimes do that. But I still follow them because it's entertaining. To the point that I have sort of existential thoughts re wasting time. Not too often though.

Overall #nostr cheers me up.

You sound quite positive now. It was rather worrying a couple days ago. Why is the change? Sorry for being nosy but you went public with your doubts about life. I didn't ask then and I feel sort of guilty about that. I couldn't probably help much but I believe that sometimes just expressing concern might make positive change.

But... But there is the time you'll need to fly away, isn't it? Shame that when we grow up we loose most of ourselves.

Is Robosats a Scam?

After completing several successful trades with different coordinators on Robosats, I think it's a promising platform with great potential. The concept is appealing, especially as a non-KYC exchange tool, and I genuinely hope it gains more users and achieves long-term success.

However, I've recently experienced situations where I felt I was unfairly penalized, resulting in the loss of my fidelity bond for posting an offer. So far, this has cost me around 30,000 sats.

Here are the offer settings I used:

Public duration set to 23:59

Escrow/Invoice time set to 8:00

These settings should ideally allow you to sleep without risking your bond. If someone accepts your order right after you've gone to bed, the 8-hour escrow time should give you enough buffer to wake up, pay the invoice, and complete the trade.

The issue is that if someone takes your offer close to the end of the public duration—say, with only 1 or 2 hours left—the 8-hour escrow timer does not extend the overall duration of the offer. If you’ve gone to bed with less than 8 hours left on the public timer, you might have less than 8 hours to pay the escrow invoice before the offer expires and your bond is forfeited. This essentially penalizes users for not being able to respond instantly.

This setup seems flawed, as it forces users to stay vigilant during sleeping hours, risking money if they can't respond quickly enough.

I’m unsure if this issue varies by coordinator. Most recently, I noticed this with the Temple of Sats coordinator, but I believe I’ve had similar issues with others.

If this is the intended behavior, it raises concerns about potential bad actors using automation to take orders right before expiration, betting that the trade creators won’t respond in time—causing their bonds to be lost.

Has anyone else experienced this on Robosats? Any advice on managing it?
