I thought it worked the same as other clients but this is what tipped me off. if you aren't seeing the same content from other apps, then its not using your relay list to read from. it must only be using their caching relay.

this means they can censor people unilaterally. all the benefits of nostr are gone.

when I read the option it looked like it was just for proxying writes?

its basically just the twitter model. I think its pretty deceptive that they have a relay list when its only for writing to. seems most people think it just works like other clients when its just the twitter model of a central server + api. you can switch out the caching server but noone runs caching servers except them.

I think a) those clients should remove DMing until they support NIP-17;

b) clients that do NIP17 should not allow DMing someone without inbox relays setup and perhaps check if the user recently sent a NIP 04 DM recently, if so, let the sender know their DM will probably not be seen

grateful for the time, sacrifice, and dedication of all the bitcoin developers around the world.

it’s often thankless work. let’s thank them today.

Someone asked me today “what is the point of Bitcoin?”

How would you respond in one sentence without using any technical jargon, buzzwords, or clichés?

Hey nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg .. is this a joke? Lol, why not just ask me for my passport?

Thinking about locking 1 BTC in my nsec as a proof of key safety. If somebody gets my key, they can steal the 1BTC. And if they do, I will know my key has leaked.

On Nostr, unless you monitor your own posts VERY closely, you never know if your key has leaked or not. That creates lots of liabilities for businesses and some risks for users. Adding a value that is appropriate to the size of the account could work as attack notifier. And business might even be able to insure that amount with cyber insurance. 🤔

No idea, in my device it didn' gett flagged

Where did you download it from?

Inverse-Cramer does it again as #Bitcoin shoots back over $42,000 within days… 🚀

Fedimints are racist. The arguments and references to them for use in the developing world often assume an exotic behavior about these societies that is unsubstantiated. Yes...Fedimints and chaumian mints, as described by countless poverty porn pushers in the bitcoin space, are a type of colonialism. It's the digital equivalent of bringing democracy and womens rights to Afghanistan by America. The reality on the ground does not match the fiction in your head, and it kills more of the women than are saved.

The on the ground reality is 7 of 7 influential community leaders are just as likely to steal from the local people and get away with it through various means and social mechanism, as have "consequences" applied to them. All the quixotic arguments for pushing fuckmints and ecrap on the developing world, i have seen, come from people aware of the economic principals and game theory of Bitcoin, but who also simultaneously make the "other" an exception to them.

"Those other people over there" use money differently. "Those noble savages are closer to the land, more communal, more holistic" implies the wording. The reality is grannies and children hoarding small amounts by wrapping it in their clothing , or sewing it in beds, burrying it in the ground, anything they can do to keep it AWAY from others. You know... like bitcoin was once trying to do.

A type of ignorant colonialism, Fedimints and ecash, as presented don't even work in the developed world, yet will work for the "underdeveloped" for some reason, a reason always alluded to in unfounded social science based on some unique and exotic charachteristic of those societies.

The real life behavior, hoarding and limited sharing of physical CASH by community leaders assumes qualities of Bitcoin that are no longer even popularly sought. Privacy, fungibility, low transaction cost.

Families, tribes, groups, hoard cash FROM eachother and share limited amounts for specific reasons. This behavior can be replicated with Bitcoin using simple wallets, truer digital stand-ins than complicated multisigs and over engineered collateralized trust networks or custodial "banks", Lightning.

The developed world and its voice, having the majority of Bitcoin, now want to, in the style classic sociopathic narcisism, push a watered down and hyper controlled Bitcoin on the poor, while also passing it off as "Freedom" money.

These contradictions will not resolve in their favor.

If the ETF is rejected, we dump and I stack more bitcoin. If the ETF is approved and the price pumps, I stack more bitcoin. If the ETF is approved and the price dumps, I stack more bitcoin. The goal is to stack more #bitcoin. It hasn't changed. Don't forget the plot.
