Important to know it doesn't change trust in the provider, it just reduces single-jurisdictional or single-datacenter risk of surveillance or compromise.
I think for most people it's overkill in almost any scenario.
Let's make privacy in Bitcoin the standard 🤝

More would be writing for those who don't have a side, rather than trying to win over the hardcore Samourai/Wasabi crowd either way.
But definitely agree, need to think deeply on if the inevitable pushback from all sides is worth the potential benefits.
Thanks for chiming in 🙂
Some additional clarifications:
- I *will* be commenting on aspects of Samourai Wallet's approach that I don't like or view as less than ideal.
- I *will* be commenting on aspects of Wasabi Wallet I like or appreciate.
- I *will not* be going into depth on JoinMarket as I don't have a deep grasp on its approach. I'll only cover the basics I know and leave it at that, and likely publish follow up work with more in-depth thoughts.
I said I was biased in response on Twitter as all people are.
I also made it clear I won't comment on what I don't know, and thus have very little to say on JM.
Yet again you have some core hatred for me though we've never met and you've never actually interacted with me online, only thrown shade blindly 🤷♂️
It's not a comparison, never said that was the goal.
It's breaking down my understanding of the pros and cons of each.
Somehow it's already Sunday, and thus time for #SkepticismSundays 🤔
The goal of this thread (which I'll post weekly on Sunday's) is for discussing the uncertainties, shortcomings, and concerns some may have about Bitcoin.
NOT the positive aspects of it.
Discussing things with a critical thinking approach and level-headed discussion helps us learn where Bitcoin and it's community can improve and go from there. We had a *fantastic* amount of good conversations last week so I can't wait to see this week's!
What's gotten you thinking, has you concerned, or always irked you about Bitcoin, its ecosystem, etc. this week?
Goal for this week is to put out a blog post with a summary of my thoughts on Samourai, Wasabi, and JoinMarket.
The idea is to be as open and honest about tradeoffs of each as I can, but I admittedly have very little experience with JM so that will be only a short section.
Any specific points of interest you'd like to see covered for any of those three?
Any core comparisons that would be helpful for you all?
What relays do you pull from there? Wonder if I should set some specific relays in the Nostr plugin.
Sent a Zap but don't see the event showing in Amethyst (yet)
So odd, wonder if it is the rate limiting mentioned by #[7]!
Can you try again? Will zap back 🙂
Shows for me, let me tweak relay settings for it.
Fully self-sovereign Zaps in pre-release for BTCPay, public release of the plugin update any minute now.
Bounties. Work.
Thanks so much for the hard work on this, #[3], huge step forward in being able to use Nostr the right way!

Think I've got non-custodial fully self-hosted Zaps working 👀
Can anyone Zap a sat to test Zaps to BTCPay Server??
👀
Excited for this both from a personal perspective and for the sustainability of #[1] themselves. Signed up a couple weeks back, can't wait!
