Is there a mimetype for cashu tokens? nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg nostr:npub1cj6ndx5akfazux7f0vjl4fyx9k0ulf682p437fe03a9ndwqjm0tqj886t6 nostr:npub1q6mcr8tlr3l4gus3sfnw6772s7zae6hqncmw5wj27ejud5wcxf7q0nx7d5 #asknostr #ecash #cashu

Today I sent a friend e-cash in an e-mail (pun intended). Of course the e-mail was encrypted using PGP. I pictured it as literally sending cash in the mail except that the mail was sealed and guaranteed not to be opened but by the intended recipient. I'm living in the future.

I'll recommend adding wss://sendit.nosflare.com to your relay list to get your posts published to as many relays as possible without having to add each one of them.

This is the major issue with off-ramps and the solution (in my opinion) is to NOT need banks. Off-ramp solutions that allow you to pay directly for your everyday needs (no-KYC of course) is the way forward.

One man's meat?

First they ignore you (aeonbtc's blocklist), then they laugh at you ("knots' users are stupid; I hope they get rekt 🤣🤣🤣"), then they fight you (portlandhodl's attack on knots nodes), then you win!

Not silly at all. Should be an available option on all nostr clients.

Bitcoin projects are not nearly as complex as the Linux kernel but there's something to learn here. #oss #git #security https://youtu.be/Zu42F-XMNC4

for something as important as verifying binaries for bitcoin software, it's a wonder that very few people do it.

1. few developers sign their binaries

2. few users verify those binaries

we can do better and for those developers who sign their binaries, unless you suspect your master key has been compromised, there's no need to rotate it. that's what subkeys are for.

gm!

yes, as long as you're guaranteed that it does not share that information with third parties, which imo is impossible to do. the issue comes when you have to trust the agent. these models are at best black boxes; even the open source models are trained using data we don't have access to. we've come to trust traditional computation devices because they are largely dumb and we understand them very well. they do what they're instructed to do and only that. can't say we understand these ai models to the same degree yet. maybe if these systems incorporated something like homomorphic encryption them we wouldn't have to trust them.

gold.

not yet. you might want to try self-hosting it.

one of my favourite features of uptime kuma (https://uptime.kuma.pet) is definitely certificate expiry monitoring. as much as you can automate renewals, some setups require manual handling.

What's good for the goose!

It has a steep learning curve for sure and is extremely different with how files are organized (for good reason). If you, however like to experiment a lot and don’t want to end up unable to boot your system or care about a reproducable and predictable system configuration/package management, it is a no-brainer and very rewarding.

I bit the bullet and switched to #NixOS a little over a year ago. After spending a year with #Nix, I’m attempting to nixify all the things and wondering why I can use Nix on my phone! 😐

I remember ad blocking extensions being a niche thing. Now realizing that Google going after ad blockers means that ad blocking has gone mainstream - to the point that it’s directly affecting Google. It’s a clear signal that users consider ads as being an impediment to their use of the web and want something better.

The client you use as your daily driver has an outsized impact on your #Nostr experience. It’s like the difference between using Coinbase and Sparrow to send bitcoins. It’s hard to know what you’re missing out on until you’ve tried something else. Most Nostr clients are good — for the regular user, even great but for someone who needs something more and doesn’t want to murk around on the command line, you should check out nostr:npub1n0stur7q092gyverzc2wfc00e8egkrdnnqq3alhv7p072u89m5es5mk6h0.

I initially dismissed the client because it lacks that polish that makes it a very good looking client. Looks are important and you don’t always get to make a second impression. However I keep most of the clients around because I like to follow their evolution. All of that “lacks polish” impression flew out of the window when I started to murk around in the settings. You know that feeling when you desire a certain feature but you don’t complain about what you’re given because you didn’t write the client but then you find this one client that implements not just one, two or three of the things on your wish list but like MANY of them? That’s what I found in Nostur and why it’s now my favourite client. I don’t have to go through all the features but the fact that I can:

1. Choose what relays I want to read from, write to and search

2. See what relays I’m seeing a note from and that I posted to (sometimes you need to rebroadcast a note in case a relay missed it)

3. Share an actual image of a note with other apps

4. Use a custom NIP-96 media upload service

5. Configure your own web of trust filtering system and (specifically) restrict loading media to your web of trust

6. Choose what relays to publish as your reading and writing relays

among others, makes it the most powerful client I’ve used to date. Basically, this is the mobile (and desktop) client for power users and it’s become my daily driver.
