I wrote a new guide about mobile devices in regards of using them with Bitcoin apps.
Some of my readers asked me: Darth, what kind of mobile are you using with your bitcoins?
Is not a very technical detailed guide, is more to give some general indications to new users.

I've been using my de-Googled LineageOS phone for several years now. I love it and I'll never go back to stock or Apple. Would love to try Calyx or Graphene someday though. Good article!
Mine is currently set to 1GB. I had just increased it from 512MB last week.
Wow, what are the chances that they lived so close to you?! That's wild. Glad he was able to get some relief!
Every year that goes by I add more and more apps and services onto my self-custodial bitcoin node and each one that gets added makes me more and more excited about bitcoin. Can't wait to see what it is like in a few more years.
Anyone that says that the bitcoin space isn't building or innovative clearly isn't looking very hard.
Overdue change, but just switched over from using Eletrum Personal Server to Electrs. Given that EPS isn't really being developed any more, I had to finally switch it out. I only used it internally or over Tor. Took overnight for Electrs to fully index, but now it is up and running. Seems to be working well.
There are still good organizations like that out there, but they just don't have the name recognition. They're more concerned with action on the ground than screaming so everyone can hear them. Always seems like the loudest ones are the ones with the worst reputations.
You're a person with true dedication to the cause.
I got my lightning address set up on LNBits with zap support just in time for Zapathon!
I just wrote an article on Blogstack with my understanding of the latest bank failures:
Feel free to give me any feedback.
Hellblade was such a good game. Would love to see what they do with #2.
PSA: For those being *reckless*, even though restore functionality isn't built yet, it is still worth while to download a copy of your backup JSON for your Cashu wallet. In the event you lose your browser data, you can still use the information in that JSON file to repopulate the data in your browser's local storage.
Thinking about scheduling some downtime for my bitcoin node for maintenance right after the upcoming difficulty adjustment so that when it comes back online it doesn't have as many blocks to catch back up on after it comes back online.
I've got big brain moves. 😆
I never cease to be amazed by the number of Nostr clients and the sheer amount of variety in design and features among them.
Just lost all of my following again. First time in a long time that happened. Very annoying, but luckily I had a backup that I was able to quickly restore with this time around.
Oh nice! Good stuff!
Sir, I haven't seen a penny in years...
Ran some analytics on zaps on nostr, it's quite terrible...
~95% of users have their lightning address set to a custodial wallet
~91% of all zaps by volume have gone to a custodial wallet
#[0] is the clear winner of 50% of users and 67.5% of volume

I'm sure these stats are pretty reflective of reality, but it should be noted that a lot of non-custodial solutions for lightning addresses (eg, LNBits, satdress, etc) don't currently support the sending of zap notes (kind 9735) which might then causes zaps to be under-reported for non-custodial. I'm currently using Ligess for my setup which only started supporting Nostr zap notes a couple weeks ago.
My wallet being non-custodial is what makes my experience as a user superior. 😉
