sorry. forgot to turn off cross posting suffix

Well then, I apologize for coming off as entitled. Payjng to use someone’s work is not a a novel idea to me, I am just used to a different paradigm when it comes to what I’m paying for.

As I said before, I have no problems paying a subscription when I know the money is being used to propel the development forward and not just lining the devs pockets.

Certainly not the way I wanted to start this relationship and I wish I could delete that original note.

The problem with lifetime licenses is, no one knows how long that will be. What if you closed up shop next week and I just paid you $100?

Personally, I don’t have a problem paying monthly fees if I know that money is going towards server costs and other recurring costs. Unfortunately, it seems like iOS devs just want another revenue stream. If you want to see what I mean, check out the mastodon apps. almost every one has a subscription, yet, offers no reasonable excuse for why. They basically want you to pay every month so that you can continue to use the features you have already paid for and that’s bullshit.

There are a couple apps that are more reasonable, mammoth being one, I actually have a subscription for that til next year( $10, I believe), I just don’t use it anymore because the fediverse is no different than the other social platforms. I also bought a lifetime license for Mona as well, that was only about $20. Coming from the Android world, supporting devs has never been the issue. The major difference is, they seem to do it for the love of coding and genuinely trying to make their user’s lives better. I have never had to buy a “lifetime” license , that’s not how they work.

Now, I do acknowledge that things work a bit differently here and maybe I got soured on iOS devs after seeing how the mastodon devs operate. If that’s the case, I apologize. But anyway you split it, $100 is a lot to ask, for any app, regardless. And if we’re being raeally honest, $100 is only, what, 24 months worth (just a guess), so if I were to stick around longer, you would end up paying for having me on your service at some point.

Personally, I would remove the lifetime license, be a bit more clear about where the money goes, and just stick to monthly payments. I have no issue with that at all and I don’t think anyone else would either.

Maybe we got off on the wrong foot and that is obviously my fault, so I apologize. Trying to get used to how iOS devs operate has probably been the hardest thing to get used to since switching last year. I would like to try out your service at some point, that was just a bit more than I was expecting to pay.

Take care.

sorry. the way these timelines are set up, it’s not always that easy to see who is responding to who.

it really is. I just deleted my nostr app, I’ll just use this since everything seems to be fully functional.

gonna have to show this man some love as soon as my wallet gets set up.

I didn’t get it are you on oxchat?

Are y’all really that fucking dumb? Just because I don’t vote Republican, doesn’t mean I vote democrat. I’m not stupid enough to box myself in like that. Another moron. 🤦🏻‍♂️ BLOCKED

I think current and YakiHonne are the only apps that have push notifications working.

Stupid AF at that, Trump doesn’t give a shit about bitcoin, he’s just doing like he has been doing for the past year, telling the lemmings that are dumb enough to listen to him, what they want to hear.

What was his position 4 years ago?

I had worse getting my cartilage pierced.😂

Let me know now if you’re a MAGAt so I can just block you now and save myself the trouble down the road.😁

The Bitcoin cultists think that Nostr could prevent Biden's handlers from making statements on his behalf. They're totally delusional, obviously.

Let's say that Biden needed to use a fingerprint to Tweet. All someone would need to do is take his finger, whether attached to him or not, to make a Tweet "as Biden". And all the delusional drones who think, "signing proves identity." are just that; completely delusional and unaware of how anything actually works:

Noster can't fix everything, and neither can Bitcoin; and there is a class of Bitcoiner that has shifted this narrative from "Bitcoin fixes this" to "Nostr Fixes this". It's the same Bitcoin Cult under a different name.

People who think software services like X, Bitcoin and Nostr are "technologies" betray their complete lack of understanding of what a technology is. Services are not technologies; they are made out of technologies.

And if you think a "signing key" will protect the launch procedure from being hijacked, you really don't understand how signing keys work, probably never used GPG, and are ignorant of the history of Cryptography.

Which is fine. No one can be expected to know everything.

These things are being said because it is important for people who prefer not to be ignorant hear them to reign in the drooling fanboyism that masquerades for insight. They throw around words like "Open Source" and "Centralized" not knowing what these things mean or whether or not practical use can be made of them. They also don't like it when "Open Source" is used against them as intended, when their work is forked and someone makes a copy of it for profit.

Publishers of books are the worst offenders in this, breathlessly talking about "Open Source" whilst protecting their books with copyright.

One of the rare exceptions is Boldrin and Levine's "Against Intellectual Monopoly" that you can download for free AND buy on Amazon. Not so clever people think they're being smart by finger pointing Boldrin and Levine for selling their books thinking they're not available for free, only to be silenced by pointing to the URL where they are. How pathetic.

Thankfully, Bitcoin can't suffer from the delusions of these people, who are toxic and retarding of the expansion of Bitcoin's use. Once again, if Bitcoiners can't overcome the voices of these people then it was always doomed to fail.

So far. It is THEM that are failing, not YOU.

Well, that was…interesting.🙄

I wouldn’t say irrelevant, lemmings do what lemmings do. Regardless of the fact that neither candidate is fit for the job, y’all are going to vote for one or the other anyways.🤷🏻‍♂️
