Will nostr:nprofile1qyv8wumn8ghj7urjv4kkjatd9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wsq3vamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qqsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejgqgzx3h have me on RHR to learn about Pubky?

In good faith, for the freedom of the internet?

I think RHR is the one podcast I've not been on yet!

That's a conflict of interest.

You don't sell your Bitcoin for fiat; you exchange it for goods and services.

Many posts about how eth is outperforming BTC and how BTC failed and became a tool for the state rather a tool to end the state.

Influx of some weirdos.., welcome, nonetheless. Enjoy the free expression but don't expect reach.

What is this disenchantment with #bitcoin going on here lately?

#asknostr

I have tested pubky and wrote a small comparison post on the key differences of #nostr and #pubky.

I believe it is a good thing that both of them exists: we can't have too much of freedom tech.

What's the catch? I can easily monitor my node without the help of a third-party. Just use headscale and enjoy uninterrupted access to your node privately.

What a pleasant surprise being included here.

Motivates me to keep going.

I'm thousands of miles away from my servers and I'm still able to zap notes here with the same ease as if I was sitting in the same room.

#bitcoin and #corelightning nodes connected to me by the magic of #nwc and #headscale is pure satisfaction.

I see it pings but there are no posts relayed through it to my client. Doesn't it relay posts from the other public relays while filtering out spam?

I see many errors in the relay, please see below:

1m,NOTICE:Failedtoreceive3cecac1e7d4c3eaeaf68e65372955c00201cee6d3cffb2d89c395e04e4f6115d:Youranoutoftime!Pleasetop-upyourtimeatazzamo.net/pay

I have paid and it shows in the dashboard. Please check.

Go to system settings, developer options and check running services, your gboard is running extra services even when it's without permissions.

I had similar setup with it, but I also had Google play services installed. The Gboard app communicated with google play services without any permissions. If you have installed Google play services and it is rubbing alongside Gboard, it is not such a sure thing that what you type stays on your device.

Anything users find of quality, could be articles, news, art, music and so on.

Speaking of wallets and accounts, when pubky implements zapping? It's crucial for incentivizing good content.

The Lightning Network does not scale.

This is why everyone is building fake centralized hybrid Lightning bullshit and using custodial apps.

There are many reasons for this, here are some.

Liquidity - Each channel requires funding, twice. That capital is frozen until you splice, rebalance, or close. As adoption grows, the liquidity requirement grows quadratically. As on-chain fees grow, cost of using LN goes up while security assurances go down.

Complexity - Complexity breeds centralization. most users do not tolerate the base LN experience. Most devs do not tolerate depending on complex buggy self-custodial implementations. You've practically got to be an entire Lightning stack business to reliably provide a self-custodial product. Costs rise, leading to severe centralization at scale.

Routing - Portrayed as the coolest part of LN, but truly the worst aspect due to liquidity requirements, uncertainty, complexity. Results in hubs, then centralization at scale.

Breaking changes - Constant new complexity requires node runners to always run new, potentially insecure software. New channel types, new payment protocols, all destroy interoperability.

Obscure Hacks Required - If you want to provide a LN wallet or app you need to learn all the weird solutions, like LNURL, misc patches & tools, that people hacked in because LN protocol devs and LN implementation companies rarely care about the user space (probably because it is hopeless). We get weird derivative things hacked into others, like subscriptions into one specific payment protocol, but not into others; or, weird email format nicknames that arent actually emails, and are all implemented in trusted ways. This results in LN businesses and LN devs requiring arcane understanding, and endless patience, in the LN world.

Regulatory trap - Running a LSP business safely requires experienced lawyers for a constantly changing compliance landscape. New hybrid LN services like Spark, Liquid swaps, and taproot-asset edge nodes, will draw regulatory scrutiny the moment something goes wrong, or becomes too large.

Lightning is still cool and useful, but it doesn't actually fix Bitcoin payments at scale, so much as kinda-sorta provide efficiencies as long as you don't actually scale too much...

TLDR?

The concept of a high-frequency bitcoin channel is sound, and proven now.

The concept of a bitcoin-based routing network as an efficiency has not been proven, and, arguably, has failed.

Yes, but the trend of volatility contraction is ongoing.

It's a nice thought experiment, that's for sure.

While we are very excited about nostr:nprofile1qqs8t4ehcdrjgugzn3zgw6enp53gg2y2gfmekkg69m2d4gwxcpl04acppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp07rhc3q, we are also riddled as to the differences between #keychat and #whitenoise.

I'd like a nice comparison table showing the key differences between these two.

#asknostr

That's great, it starts one at a time. I'm more worried about businesses not accepting Bitcoin, and seeing not much of an effort in this direction by bitcoiners.

There's non custodial lightning too, so so of a generalization.

> the likelihood of a Gaza ceasefire (more like the likelihood of stopping Gaza genocide)

Seems it won't stop until they free up the place for a massive real estate project with the third temple of Solomon being at the epicenter of it. In judeo-christian teachings, that's one of the omens that needs to occur. How can it occur of the place is filled up with Muslims and they got their second holiest mosque there?

Well...

...now you know how.

There goes the theory that he was Satoshi—a view frequently discussed in #bitcoin circles.

You simply can’t design a system with supply auditability in mind without public disclosure of credits and debits. Unfortunately, many privacy-focused advocates tend to overlook this. The core problem being addressed here is the need for hard money as an alternative to the arbitrary inflation imposed by central banks. Frankly, privacy alone isn’t enough to solve this; supply auditability is essential.

It's not as polished as GBoard but it does the trick. I needed to download different dictionaries for the spell check to work correctly. You can also add swipe but it needs a proprietary source.

Just ditched #GBoard for #Heliboard.

Noticed GBoard was running 3 processes linked to Google Services. Though I had removed all permissions and disabled background battery/network use, I don't feel comfortable with those additional serbices it it runs by default.

I'm running https://github.com/daywalker90/cln-nip47 on a wireguard relay

it works great

I looked at this one too, but consisted the other one to be a better candidate. Gonna look into it.

Not sure what you mean by wg relay, can you point me to some useful links to learn this setup?

It's certainly more resilient, but there's not an evident upside here in sight.

But it's nonetheless a good idea to outsource the processes that are legally of higher risk premium.
