Huge congrats to nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg on their App Store release. The integrated Lightning wallet with the ability to acquire sats through Apple Pay is 😍. It’s a huge step forward in bringing nostr and bitcoin into a more mainstream audience and I’m totally here for it. Very, very well done.

It really was done so nicely

Question on the nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg update - am I still able to link an external wallet if I want to?

My understanding is no longer on iOS -- you can use any wallet to fund your wallet on their app, but apple and NWC seem to be at odds with each other so they removed that capability for now

There is something very therapeutic about mempool running from your node in the background periphery

still amazes me how this machine just..runs

wow intuit is killing mint -- been a user since like 2009 🤯

How insanely disappointing though to be fair I only didn't move prior just because all my stuff was there

They say it will get merged into Credit Karma but the most important features like budgeting wont 🙄

What are the best alternatives? What are the plebs using out there?

After analyzing it for a thousand hours over more than a decade, I still can’t find a better nutrient-to-cost ratio than grass-fed ground beef.

I also think non-grass beef is fine vs normal beef, but then I have certain environmental permaculture soil maxi ethical views. So I mean, ultimately my opinion is to eat beef, and preferably from cows that are as close to nature as possible (ie they eat tall deep-rooted grass and have space and thus don’t usually need antibacterial medicine because they are healthy).

I don’t like to conflict with real scientists, but more than a decade ago I began researching nutrition and experimenting on myself. Many bitcoiners find nutrition, but I found nutrition and then found bitcoin, which is the less profitable direction.

I am not a doctor or a nutritionist. Most doctors and nutritionists are shitty at nutrition, but nonetheless I am not one of them.

I am, however, an athlete and engineer. I began to notice my performance issues with industrial carbs and seed oils, and began removing them. Huge health boost, and I felt so much better. This was after reading many studies.

I then did personal blood tests. I logged my food, pricked my finger and tested my glucose each day, pricked my finger and tested my ketones each day, for science, etc. I felt good and performed well under ketosis, subject to certain athletic details depending on the sport.

Ultimately I practiced seasonal ketosis. Seasons of normal health-conscious food. Seasons where I go more hardcore on ketosis for health.

My main view is that low carb eating is good, grass-fed ground beef is particularly good and cheap, etc. Eat while foods and minimize toxins. I am happy to debate nutritionists or whoever on this, it isn’t my expertise, but imo a pre-qualifier to such a debate is that they need to have visible abs. I have no tolerance toward the opinion of a flabby university nutritionist.

Anyway, good evening.

🐐

Maybe it’s just me but spam is a little less annoying when it comes with sats 🤷‍♂️

Of course not, who the hell said that?

Clients need to be great to make people want to use them to get people on nostr in the first place.

But if the identity and “ensuring people are who they say they are” isn’t done right or made easy and secure, the net benefits won’t be nearly as valuable imo

Becoming the underlying protocol that powers most social and collaboration apps

A prerequisite for nostr succeeding is figuring out the UX around your keys while keeping them incredibly secure

That’s v bullish for bitcoin imo

Whole response in case youre interested:

"It is legal for banks to use consumer deposits for bank yield because it is a necessary part of the banking system. Banks need to generate income in order to cover their costs and generate profits. Bank yield is one of the primary ways that banks generate income.

Without bank yield, banks would not be able to lend money to businesses and consumers. This would have a negative impact on the economy. Additionally, without bank yield, banks would not be able to generate profits for their shareholders. This would make it difficult for banks to attract capital, which could destabilize the banking system.

Of course, there are risks associated with bank yield. For example, if interest rates rise, banks may have to pay more to depositors than they earn on their loans and investments. This can reduce or eliminate bank yield and make it difficult for banks to cover their costs and generate profits.

However, the benefits of bank yield outweigh the risks. Bank yield is essential for a healthy and stable banking system.

Here are some additional reasons why it is legal for banks to use consumer deposits for bank yield:

* **Banks are regulated by the government.** The government requires banks to meet certain capital requirements and to maintain a certain level of liquidity. These regulations help to reduce the risk of bank failures and to protect depositors.

* **Banks are insured by the FDIC.** The FDIC insures deposits up to $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank, per ownership category. This means that depositors are protected from losses even if a bank fails.

* **Banks compete with each other.** Banks compete with each other to attract depositors and borrowers. This competition helps to keep interest rates low and to ensure that consumers have access to affordable banking services.

Overall, there are good reasons why it is legal for banks to use consumer deposits for bank yield. Bank yield is essential for a healthy and stable banking system, and it is protected by government regulations and FDIC insurance."
