Hey there #damus peeps and #nostr - Happy New Year…. After getting fed up with the shit that Alby did to my Sats combined with their shitty documentation I decided to look at alternatives.. unfortunately there is zero way to self host a lightning wallet (due to the need to have liquidity on the chain to back it). But so far for the 100 bucks worth of bitcoin I spent using #cluborange at least I have something that seems stable enough and there’s enough usage of it that I won’t outright *lose* sats..
I’ll get right to the point - If you are looking for a decent way to send sats around without the risk of losing a lightning channel - for now at least Club Orange seems to get the job done.. and I have a referral link if you decide to join…

we no longer have rights, only privileges.
if you tell the truth, they will hate you.
don't be a tool, be an agent.
only download Open Source apps that have some popularity. these developers post the code publicly (usually GitHub) for anyone to review.
you don't necessarily have to review the code yourself, although it is pretty easy to copy & paste into chatGPT or similar.
with popular apps, you can be fairly certain someone else has reviewed the code and the developer is not committing project suicide by putting a line of malicious code in their app for anyone to see.
even on nostr:nprofile1qqs83nn04fezvsu89p8xg7axjwye2u67errat3dx2um725fs7qnrqlgpr3mhxue69uhkgctkv5h8xapwvajhymtp9e5kutmwdaehgusqhknul, best practice would be to only install apps signed by the developer.

Choose 1 or 2?
Country1: this country uses three gigantic computers controlled by three gigantic companies. These three computers act as backend servers to frontend applications. Consider any application: banking, messenger, uber, netflix, instagram, email. As we know, all applications communicate with backend servers in order to function. Use of technological applications is subject to approval by one of three companies.
Country2: This country uses thousands of small computers controlled by individuals and businesses alike. Any application, be it for buying food or talking to friends online, needs to communicate with one of these small servers.

you have a podcast with Bitcoin in it's name. you don't know why miners are separate from nodes now?
the most revolutionary proposal in Bitcoin is not new.
run your own node.
or trust a third-party node : the exact system you all think you are escaping.

stop using trusted third-party services to receive zaps! be self-sovereign and run BTCPay. if you need help, ripsline.com will get you up and running your own node in less than a day.
are you using alby's Integrated LSP service or do you connect your own lightning node?
that's great news. I am experiencing a black map, and stores don't actually seem to be near my location. any ideas?
happy to take offline. signal: ripsline.01
has anyone had success using nostr:npub1864jglrrhv6alguwql9pqtmd5296nww5dpcewapmmcazk8vq4mks0tt2tq on nostr:npub1235tem4hfn34edqh8hxfja9amty73998f0eagnuu4zm423s9e8ksdg0ht5 without Google Play Services?
we tested zaps on this note… we made six attempts to⚡zap this note, at zap@ripsline.com, over a period of 9 minutes. all six attempts were successful. please check on your end to be sure you received. average zap time was 9212ms (9.2 seconds). we consider this zap time slow... generally, zaps should complete in under two seconds. (other nostr users might think your zaps are broken, might not zap you again.) if you wanted to fix this... you could try getting a free rizful lightning address -- https://rizful.com ... if u get it set up, pls reply here so we can do this ⚡zap test again.
"all six attempts were successful."

nostr is real because you can't delete notes.
