Protect privacy at all costs... even if you have to sacrifice yourself for it.

It is wild how El Salvador has embraced Bitcoin properly before the USA.

Part of that is on the Biden admin, but these last few weeks have been an open goal.

To think that in many countries, there is no way to accurately view your mobile coverage to your ISP, or any ISP as a matter of fact, is really bad.

At the very least, there should be a way to see if you can connect to the internet with a particular network in in the area that you're standing.

Have you ever had an issue with your relays not delivering your messages?

Maybe it's time you use a paid relay.

I don't have any more details.

Again very grateful for the grant I received last year which allowed me to build all this so far.

It's a tough one to swallow, not gonna lie. I will take a few weeks to think about the future of the project.

They should, but unfortunately the curriculum in many countries is way too ancient and is designed for dinosaurs.

Obviously, bootstrapping your own LN node is hard, but it is also fun, because you get to understand how all the parts fit together, and it's what I do.

But some people prefer apps like Strike, Phoenix, and others which you can download on your phone and open all the channels for you. Maybe because they don't have the budget of many hundredK's of sats required to open enough channels to be well-connected. Or maybe because it's just easier.

The analogy perfectly fits with setting up your own software (or hardware) wallet instead of leaving your coins on an exchange. But that's quite an unsettling comparison because of how often exchanges fail. So at any rate, post in the replies your preference!

It is completely normal for corporations to play 'both sides'. Just look at what Zuckerberg has been doing all these years.

Did not know that Trump uses Nostr. But it's all good, because people need a place to talk where they can't be censored by the social media owners!

I have a pet peeve on WhatsApp. I have absolutely no reason to use it except to talk to my dad, who *does* use it. I'm trying to get everyone off of it, and go to Telegram, the other popular coordination app.

But I understand that Telegram is not much better in terms of privacy.

This is the app I would be using if I had a new iPhone. https://damus.io/?utm_source=getalby
