Some get handed a path, some make one, but me? I messed up over and over again until I hit rock bottom. However, It's quite liberating. Where else can I go?
Replying to nobody

There's a BIG ELEPHANT in the Nostroom many of us are avoiding.

I'm really digging Nostr. You probablly are too. And I'm mostly digging Lightning ⚡️ and Zaps. Except one big inconvenient purple elephant.

Some of these wallets we're using don't (seem to) pass the basic tests of Bitcoin.

Many of you know this but are avoiding it.

Wallet of Satoshi is fun. And has GREAT UX. The Zap icon, the Green screen 😗🤌 amazing.

But if the App we're to disappear tonight, how many people would just lose all their Sats? Poof. I think more than we might think.

Maybe we justify this because it's a relatively low amount in our wallet. But still...

Not your KEYS? NOT YOUR COINS. Repeat it!

This is fundamental Bitcoin practice.

How Lightning works under the hood is complicated. I like that. It seems battle tested and works. But there are issues when your Sats live locked up by an entity that you don't have full access and control to if it were to cease to exist. How do it get settled back to L1 in your control?

We should do better. We know better.

Transferring LNBTC back to the L1 main chain should be efficient too - seamless at best. Submarine/atomic swaps also seem like a lazy solution. Pegging one asset for the other and swapping seems redundant/convoluted. Am I missing something?

Something seems incomplete with Lightning.

I like the ethos of TEST IT AS YOU BUILD IT 🤙✌️...

But here's a sobering reminder that the core and true principles of Cryptography and the Cypherpunks were labored on for good reasons.

Caveat. I don't desire to run a LN node or a pruned one either. If you're a back ender and can explain something I've missed or overlooked, please enlighten! This is intricate stuff.

Keep going all... just shining a light on the principles that ought to stay enshrined. ✨️ ⚡️✌️🤙

I learned so much from this thread even though the question wasn't answered

Time to do some research ig 🫡

I'm new to the platform, and learning more about it everyday

Im sharing what im learning by hosting a ton of Twitter spaces trying to get more of the eth maxis in my audience to be interested in not only Nostr, but the btc standard theory and Sats

It's been going pretty well, I've gotten two to make accounts so far, and gotten a lot of dms asking about it 🫂

Okay, things to learn about Nostr before I start onboarding my Twitter audience

1.) Why am I able to zap some people but not others, even though they have received sats from others?

2.) What is the fastest way to explain the value for value system we have here?

I really want to go on zapping sprees, so if anyone can help me figure that out, I'd be super grateful 🙏

I have a few Twitter friends setting up npubs and looking to explore the site, so I'd to be able to answer their questions as best as possible 🫶

Okay, so when I try to zap people it tells me their url hasn't been set up? But that obviously isn't true because you've gotten zaps from others

What step am I missing?😅

Sorry new to all this, but I'm really liking what I see, and i want to get more involved

So I'm really new to all this

What is this pertaining too? 😅

I'd love to understand this space better so I can help on-board new people from my Twitter

Gm Mac🫡

Thank you for helping me learn about this

The times are dark

The world is cruel

But damn is the future bright

So it won't let me zap anyone 🫠

Am I doing something wrong?

My wallet of satoshis is hooked up as far as I can tell

If everyone falls under a single umbrella, do we not lose the joy of diversity?

Guess it depends on the umbrella 🫡

Only bitcoiners? 🤔

I wonder how stoicism can be applied to over all society to help it deal with growing pains?

Gm, I'm pretty new to this whole environment/community, but I'm loving my transition so far

I'm learning 🫡

Food for thought:

Life has no destination. It is a journey ending in death, and the only currency is time

Spend it wisely

What little action today will propel your future growth?

The butterfly effect never stops🫂

Smile dammit, you're alive

Thank you for that boss👑

Well, since you offered🫣

I'm trying to learn more about Damus, Rootstock, and the future of the LN network

Where should I start looking? Cause googling for answers has left me with more questions 🤣

Coming from eth communities and their "maxi" mentality, I'm loving the amount of open mindedness I'm running into over here

Going to be trying to get more like minded eth people onto Nostr and to start stacking Sats🫶

Slowly but surely, I'm being convinced of btc superiority

Where have you been all my life🥹

I just got onto Nostr and into BTC because of #[6]

This pdf is going to help me out so much

Spreading information no matter the platform, eh?
