"as long as you use libsecp256k1 and don't try to rewrite it at home, this doesn't pose a security problem."
guess that's ok then.
it's not considered a 'safe curve', recommended for diffie hellmann by some. that was not considered to be a problem for bitcoin as bitcoin used ecdsa only.
i cannot explain my unreasonable disgust towards liquid. but fortunately Adam is finally admitting that their federation is not attractive to the market. to say the least.
# ⚡️ Nostr zaps - a guide 💜
Time to get you zappin' with LightningTipBot (https://ln.tips). This is my personal setup. There are other ways and services to do this. Do you own research. This is just a suggestion.
## 1) Set up LightningTipBot wallet
- Click here: https://LN.tips 👈
- You're done.
## 2) Sending zaps
Let's start with sending. You don't need much. Any Lightning wallet will do. I will describe how to use LightningTipBot to zap with.
### Sending zaps in the browser
- Get the Alby brower extension at https://getalby.com/
- Go to LightningTipBot and enter "/link"
- Copy the details and go to Alby and add a new "LNDHUB" wallet
- Enter your details
- Your LightningTipBot wallet can now be controlled from your browser
- Click on the ⚡️ zap icon for example in iris.to and you'll be able to send zaps.
### Sending zaps on mobile
- You can also "/link" your wallet to BlueWallet
- Get BlueWallet from the App store
- Import a new Lightning wallet
- Enter your credentials from LightningTipBot
- You can now control your LightningTipBot wallet from Bluewallet
- Click the ⚡️ zap icon for example in Amethyst or Damus and open BlueWallet.
- Pay and zap on
## 3) Receiving zaps
You can receive zaps with pretty much any Lightning address provider. There are many options. See: https://lightningaddress.com/
However, if you want the zaps to appear under your posts in Damus or Snort.social, you'll have a few less options (still). Here is how to do it with LightningTipBot:
- Go to LightningTipBot. Enter "/help" if you don't know your Lightning address.
- See your address? Mine is callebtc@ln.tips
- Optional: Enter "/advanced" to get an anonymous address if you don't want to doxx your Telegram username.
- Put your Lightning address into your nostr profile
- In LightningTipBot, register your nostr pubkey with "/nostr add
- You're done! You'll receive zaps and they will be shown under your zapped posts!
## 3) NIP-57 support
Zaps (those which appear under a note) are formalized in NIP-57. Currently, they are supported by the following services. This is probably not a complete list and tomorrow there might be even more:
### 💜 Sending (Nostr clients):
- Snort.social (https://snort.social/)
- Damus (http://damus.io/)
### ⚡️ Receiving (Lightning wallets):
- LightningTipBot (https://LN.tips)
- VIDA (https://vida.live/)
- Stacker.news (https://stacker.news/)
- strike.army (https://strike.army/)

wen ln.tips switches to nostr from telegram? i will not use telegram or signal or anything that requires a phone number.
follow feed is better i have zero problems.
inspect element to the rescue!
the moment customs are in play you can no longer hide behind a po box. they will want to know your identity and the recipient has to deal with payments and or answer questions.
how to buy it without doxxing myself tho? that's pretty much the main issue with these gadgets. the price is nothing. the fucking state plunges his filthy nose into every package.
the obvious solution is simply migrate off every platform they can monitor private messages on.
so exemptedDomains simply doesn't seem to work, but privacy.resistFingerprinting=false does work. however that is meh...
i added privacy.resistFingerprinting.exemptedDomains=*.iris.to so this shouldn't be the case. 🤷♂️
so i queried my theme with window.matchMedia("(prefers-color-scheme:dark) and it returns light. wtf? i'm using tor browser. kinda confused about this.
hah managed to do it by hand! just removed the section about prefers-color-scheme:light weird because the browser is explicitly set to dark. but i see a hint that may cause this?
other sites do and it worked last night, but not working today. weird.
