Agreed, that's why Phoenix tries to abstract pretty much everything away from the user. Maybe they could abstract even more things, but then since it's self custody there are things you **have** to tell the user. And when you charge them fees, users **want** to know how much and why. Seems to me that's the only two things Phoenix still explains in its interface.
Honestly I don't get why we get into convoluted trusted solutions (trust the statechain entity bro, trust the federation bro) when Phoenix exists.
People will freak out at the onboarding fee without realizing how cheap it is compared to the cost of DIY (I'm talking "mental cost"). IMHO there are 3 factors that can explain this:
- people don't understand how LN works and are afraid of using Phoenix (vs custodial solutions)
- people don't care about self-custody
- people don't use Bitcoin as payment enough to see the point of Phoenix.

The third issue of Latest Strikes ⚡ Reborn is out! It's a bit late because I was visiting citadels with the gf during an extended week-end. To make up for it, there are a few castle pics inside 🏰📸

Honestly it amazes me. I've been using it on and off, with extended periods (years) where it was sitting in a drawer. I guess the battery probably degraded a bit, but I recharged it yesterday, left it idle all night and listened to some music this morning, and the displayed battery level hasn't moved.
Another great thing is that it's still natively supported inside Apple Music on Mac, letting me easily put music inside. Apple doesn't even sell iPods anymore!
Stiller rocking this thing 15 years later

Muliple relays support is huge! Is relays configuration available in the UI, or only through the env?
Hey! First thanks to the team for their phenomenal work? Do you have any ETA for Amber support? I saw it's in projected to be in the 0.3.0 release, so should we expect it to come around in December/January?
Hey nostr:npub10r8xl2njyepcw2zwv3a6dyufj4e4ajx86hz6v4ehu4gnpupxxp7stjt2p8 I noticed a discrepancy for the Obsidian app between the hash indicated in Zapstore and the one advertises on GitHub and that I was able to obtain as well by downloading the APK from GH and computing the hash.
Noticed this because Zapstore refused to install, since hashes don't match (which is great!). What could cause such a mismatch? Does it mean the file was replaced on the Obisidian GH release page?
Thanks!
Don't mind me, trying something nostr:naddr1qqgxvefn8yenzdmzvfjnjwpsxgcnwq3qfanjsgy7jghu7d3l5hfq79a3c9kt959x638d5qhjmeeseyr7xp2qxpqqqp65w0utd7d

Welcome!
Vine revival developed by nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 with nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m backing. They already include old Vine videos salvaged by the Internet Archive.
The news coverage on Divine is quite impressive. If it manages to deliver on the user experience under the influx of new users, it could be an actual tipping point for the Nostr.
Imo the "no-AI slop" stance is really selling. Nostr is for humans.
Thank you!
