number go up!
In regions where the internet is slow or unstable, using Bitcoin’s Lightning Network with self-custodial wallets can be a challenge.
That's why I did a review of the best Bitcoin Lightning wallets in rural #Zimbabwe for @BitcoinMagazine
I hear and read statements saying that newbies need convenient, easy-to-use tools, otherwise they would be overwhelmed and won’t use Bitcoin. I think this is wrong.
People who are being onboarded onto custodial services are harder to convince to step up their game toward financial sovereignty and start using non-custodial tools. There is a big resistance to change habits.
If a person starts using a custodial wallet, they very, very often believe that they are using Bitcoin already. They will tell you that they never faced any problems and that they, therefore, don’t see a need to change their setup.
As a Bitcoin educator, it is my first duty to teach people about self custody, why it is important and to make them aware of the risks they are taking. They need to understand the difference between custodial and non-custodial services.
Only then do I present different tools and make them familiar with the pros and cons of each one. Afterwards, they need to decide for themselves which route they want to take.
That is the only way that people won’t consider me responsible for any losses they might incur and it’s the only way that they will understand that Bitcoin is all about ownership.
I was unsure, though, if Phoenix or Breez would work in a setting with bad internet connectivity. That’s why I set out to do a test in the area of Great Zimbabwe, about 300 kilometers south of the Zimbabwean capital of Harare.
In my review I included @Machankura8333 @MuunWallet @WalletofSatoshi @Breez_tech @ZeusLN @BlueWalletio @PhoenixWallet @ln_zap
I tested @Breez_tech, @ZeusLN and @BlueWalletio on an iPhone and @PhoenixWallet and @ln_zap on an Android device.

Thank you Anita, I will recommend this article whenever someone asks me about "the best smartphone wallet" again...
Das bietet in Ansätzen nur nostrgram, ein wenn Webclient. Zumindest soweit ich weiß...
I guess that's the risk of being a first mover. These popular and early paid relays will constantly get more user requests, because everybody wants to join the party.
What service or app have you guys used to create profile gifs? I'm kinda happy with the result, but might wanna change someday in the future if you show me good alternatives...
I used https://www.flexclip.com/learn/add-effects-to-gif.html
Too many robots though... 🤖
It's currently only implemented in the Testflight app, bit in the regular Appstore version.
hm, maybe both does the trick 😉 just try it. But I guess a report would be too harsh in this case...
Still receiving some data, but die doesn't load correctly...
It's not like they are forever gone. You can simply buy new Sats today! 😉

Einmal auf Twitter den korrekten npub verifizieren, bitte!
Potential, yeah.
I don't believe that the 996k followers who might join us in the future will also be as crazy as us when it comes to zapping 😄
"Muting" or "blocking" options can be found behind the three dots in most clients. Not in the user's profile but rather in their Notes.
I like it! I've used it for private purposes, cutting family videos etc... I've also encountered one or two smaller bugs while adding animated on screen texts. No crashes though.

Yeah, you're right. I've got two accounts in Alby, one to my raspiblitz (newest beta) LN Node via LN Connect. The 2nd is your Custodial wallet. Both are working fine now, used both within the last 2 hours or so...
Which LNC do you mean? LN core or Lightning Node Connect? My LN Node is a raspiblitz... so thi should be LND iirc, but why should my Node matter anyway, as this was all about your custodial Wallet?
#[2] mentioned that there might be a tutorial for "how to setup your own lightningtipbot" very soon...
It's working fine for me... 🤷🏻♀️
Ja, Magensäure soll bitte bleiben wo sie ist!
Aber wieso riecht die Luft im Magen nicht nach Magensäure, wenn es die Luft im Raum, in dem gekotzt wurde, innerhalb von Sekunden tut?!
Shower thought für die deutsche Bitcoin bubble:
Nachdem meine große Tochter gestern Abend das Bett von mir und meiner Frau vollgekotzt hat, ist uns eben beim Gespräch am Abendbrotstisch folgende Frage gekommen:
Wenn Kotze das Potenzial hat, ganze Räume innerhalb von Sekunden mit dem Geruch von Buttersäure zu füllen, wieso riechen dann Rülpser nie nach Kotze? 🤢
