Is #cypherpunks still a thing? Organisationally, I can see there were previously Cypherparties in various UK cities, but now...?

Have a look at this. The only update is that Nimiq wallet now supports NIM, BTC and USDC on Polygon (rather than ETH). You can swap in the wallet between the three up to a $1,000 monthly limit. Let me know what you think. https://finbold.com/review/nimiq-review/

Thanks, but I do indeed mean integration of another L1. My point is that if we rule out such a possibility, then we have closed off the exploration of another developmental path, and I don't see the logic for doing that, especially given that L2 solutions that tick all the boxes are still some way off.

Let's put it this way: if a candidate optimal L1 payment coin and ecosytem already existed, would we want to spend time investigating it?

Although this is what I want to hear, forgive me that I am sceptical that anyone on this #Bitcoin only platform could be in the same boat! Also, even if you are, let's acknowledge that countenancing the integration of another L1 into the space will need quite some curating.

More tools are already available, the L1 in question effectively presents to the #Bitcoin space as fait accompli. The idea is zapping with a fast & cheap self-custodial L1, plus having the means to easily swap to & from self-custodial #Bitcoin.

Obviously, this is the main bee in my bonnet, so we can leave there for now if you prefer?

That is great, thanks for engaging. You sound like a diligent show host giving out balanced advice. However, whatever the ongoing developments on Lighting Network, I am interested in the possibility that a well-chosen L1 + #Bitcoin may be more feasible to implement high levels of Satoshiness whilst still being suitable for mass adoption.

Thanks for sharing these details, which paint a vivid image of you and your various adversaries! I need to consider my options!

An alternative take would be that this situation exemplifies the lack of non-custodial LN wallets which are user friendly enough for mass adoption, as if such things existed you would be recommending these to your community instead of the likes of ZBD. Question: if non-custodial LN wallets suitable for mass adoption are still not available, will they ever be? If not, is it perhaps time to explore alternative solutions for user-friendly self custodial micropayment solutions?

What is it, then? If not a video camera?

So stickers can stay up for a long time? Like, what is the longest time one of your stickers has stayed up for and what is the average?

I have a couple of things set up, I am sending okay from both Alby and Primal wallet. I just tweaked something in Primal wallet, so try zapping again, if you like. Thanks for the kind gesture and for alerting me to the issue!

Hi, good luck with what sounds like a great event. I am not local, I am merely commenting to test the Flockstr site functionality. How are you finding it?

I am logged into Flockstr now. I guess it is looking pretty good, if they can just finish building it. Calendars seems to be the nearest equivalent of Meetup groups.

Search doesn't seem to work yet. e.g. I can see an event in Phoenix, AZ under Explore, but I can't search & find that event. Which begs the question of how I am supposed to find events near me, or have other locals find my events.

I guess it is what we have, and I will definitely keep checking back.

Thanks, I will probably still take one for the team and give flokstr a go! :-)

Indeed, playing the field and keeping them honest! :-)

Free to sign up for and use, yes. But there is a monthly charge of $15/20 for being able to organise a group. I don’t have deep understanding, as I only ever use it for free.

Does Nostur display the image, in the feed and click through, as Damus doesn’t do either.

This is an interesting one given the current preponderance of expensive walled garden subscription services for event management!

Maybe the thing for the new kid on the block L1 is that although no one is stopping you doing whatever you want, at the same time no one is necessarily giving you the time of day!

Damus > Primal in displaying this type of long form. Primal only displays the link, whereas one click in Damus takes me straight into the article within the client. Text formatting in Damus is utilitarian versus the nicer magazine style formatting of Habla.
