nsec leaked! moving to a new npub npub18wdd9mmhlaqa7fhp66fje3yy49k5regc82llwxejlvd54e8f2wcqa7p4vh

Explain like I'm five: What is, "fiat food?" #asknostr

so sick! recently I purchased a NUC and had so many issues with it that I'm thinking of returning it and getting one of these. I learned framework laptops can be purchased as parts and assembled into a desktop rather than a laptop! I love that company!

What's it mean when my pee consistently leaks out of me?

I have been very often critical of Bukele, especially of the state spyware Chivo Wallet, and of the statist propaganda of many bitcoiners who portray El Salvador as "Bitcoin heaven."

I must admit that it is good to read the president admit in his TIME interview that the adoption of Bitcoin in the country has NOT been the success that was expected.

Truth always wins.

TIME: I also want to ask you about the adoption of Bitcoin in El Salvador. (…) In your opinion, has it been a success?

BUKELE: Yes and no; a lot more could definitely be done. Bitcoin hasn't had the widespread adoption we hoped for. (…) It hasn’t had the adoption we expected. The positive aspect is that it is voluntary; we have never forced anyone to adopt it. (…)

For me, it is an option we have given to Salvadorans. I'm not going to say it's the currency of the future, but there's a lot of future in that currency.

TIME: You bet a lot on Bitcoin.

BUKELE: El Salvador invested $135 million. Now, we have $400 million in Bitcoin in the public wallet alone. (…) I feel that it could have worked better, and there is still time to make some improvements, but it hasn’t resulted in anything negative. On the contrary, it gave us branding, it brought us investments, it brought us tourism. (…)

In the end, the fact of being a “First Mover,” I think, gives us a small advantage, as far as it goes. I feel that it could have been much better. I wouldn't consider it a resounding success. Still, I do believe that the positive outcomes outweigh the negative.

It's been like 1 or 2 years? I dont like the time preference in Bukele's response. You gotta wait at least 8 years to make a call.

yeah that's a good one. I'm in the Nitter Matrix channel where xcancel admin hangs out. Hes got it running using 500 twitter accounts lol

I legitimately love web scraping. Can anyone relate?

I wish nitter wasn't dead.

Yeah it's still mildly usable. You can use it with a burner account and you can do some light browsing. You're going to get throttled pretty quick unless you have dozens of throwaway accounts.

But it's not thriving like it once was, and that makes me sad.

Thank god for #nostr

I'm building an X to Nostr bridge. I want to use NIP-26 delegation to get permission to publish kind:1 events on user's behalf.

After reading and writing some test code, I realize that the delegator (the user) needs to generate a schnorr (BIP340) signature using their private key (nsec.)

I don't think any Nostr browser extensions can do that. Nostr browser extensions are designed to sign events, not sign NIP-26 delegation tokens.

This sucks for my project because I was hoping to generate a NIP-26 delegatee key that has permissions to post as the delegator, but doesn't require that I custody to the user's master key.

I think it's still doable, but I'll have to give instructions to the user and they have to come up with the signature so my app can post as them.

Unless there's a better way?

I want a write-only Nostr UI. No feeds, no distracations, just a large Markdown editor for posting.

So let me get this straight. If I use NIP-26 delegation to create a child key, and the child key gets leaked, there's no way to revoke the child key?

I have a dream to get rich, move to Japan and single handedly solve the low birth rate issue.
