Gm! Stay fit, stack bits. 
F*ck! Lost my keys!
Not really. Am back in Europe and the experience is much better here.
My problem was the .htaccess entry. I did what the tutorial said, but it didnât work.
Non-techies donât even get so far.
Iâm rather techie and wasnât able to do it. How will non technical people manage?
Can anyone enlighten me on how weâre going to identify and âblockâ scammers and imposters here on Nostr? Itâs hard enough on a centralized platform like Twitter, but how am I going to prove who I am here?
Reputation system?

After 6 months in Zimbabwe itâs time to say goodbye and hello Zambia!
Nostr experience on Damus here in Zimbabwe is not very good. Canât open threads, uploading pictures is difficult, canât load follower list. Will be in Zambia soon, infrastructure should be better there.
Revisited Andreas M. Antonopoulos talk from 2017 today. Goosebumps then, goosebumps today.
Money has not 3 main properties as economic textbooks teach, it has 4
- store of value
- medium of exchange
- medium of account
âŠand yes, Bitcoin isnât textbook money because I doesnât serve the 4th property
- a system of control
Andreasâ work has made me understand Bitcoin and inspired me to do the work I do.
aaaand our Bitcoin flyer is available another language!
Learn how to use Phoenix and Blue Wallet in Brazilian Portuguese!
Looking good
So far I have used the megazap âĄâĄâĄ from #[0] :
- to tip sats to best posts on https://stacker.news (and fund daily rewards, #[1] )
- to fund sats to a project from #[2] on https://geyser.fund
- to boost sats to a podcast episode from #[3] with https://breez.technology
And obviously to zap kilozaps âĄâĄ (my full access chmod 777 sats signature) to many posts here on Nostr đ„đ„đ„
Thank you!
In regions where the internet is slow or unstable, using Bitcoinâs Lightning Network with self-custodial wallets can be a challenge.
That's why I did a review of the best Bitcoin Lightning wallets in rural #Zimbabwe for @BitcoinMagazine
I hear and read statements saying that newbies need convenient, easy-to-use tools, otherwise they would be overwhelmed and wonât use Bitcoin. I think this is wrong.
People who are being onboarded onto custodial services are harder to convince to step up their game toward financial sovereignty and start using non-custodial tools. There is a big resistance to change habits.
If a person starts using a custodial wallet, they very, very often believe that they are using Bitcoin already. They will tell you that they never faced any problems and that they, therefore, donât see a need to change their setup.
As a Bitcoin educator, it is my first duty to teach people about self custody, why it is important and to make them aware of the risks they are taking. They need to understand the difference between custodial and non-custodial services.
Only then do I present different tools and make them familiar with the pros and cons of each one. Afterwards, they need to decide for themselves which route they want to take.
That is the only way that people wonât consider me responsible for any losses they might incur and itâs the only way that they will understand that Bitcoin is all about ownership.
I was unsure, though, if Phoenix or Breez would work in a setting with bad internet connectivity. Thatâs why I set out to do a test in the area of Great Zimbabwe, about 300 kilometers south of the Zimbabwean capital of Harare.
In my review I included @Machankura8333 @MuunWallet @WalletofSatoshi @Breez_tech @ZeusLN @BlueWalletio @PhoenixWallet @ln_zap
I tested @Breez_tech, @ZeusLN and @BlueWalletio on an iPhone and @PhoenixWallet and @ln_zap on an Android device.
