You can get a relatively anonymous number from Target in the US, their POA can activate most prepaid brands with only a name, and email address, and most stores will use the store address for the account, can also pay cash.
Client I am making for the new blue site. Notice a certain button?
if people think exchanges are bad at rehypothecation just wait till they learn about banks
Did they really release this video but call the miners "data centers?" 🤣 JUST SAY ITS BITCOIN.
I love this. I have my opinions on certain politics, but never would I externalize it unlike most people these days. It makes a lot of sense!
One of the Bluesky devs, they are closer to us than you think!
I was even manually connecting to them using a online websocket tester, sending the note and then just watching nothing happen. Then I would purposefully mess up the note so the signature doesn't match, and then it immediately gave me an error like its supposed to.
jb55 already said that this is happening: #[6]
And if I could add anything more controversial, no shade, but Nostr is basically Damus. Here I am with the other 70% of people that don't use iPhones, using multiple apps and webapps to figure out which one will load correctly today.
I would send the note, and then... nothing... They didn't even give me any reply saying that something was invalid, my solution was to just add some more hoping at least a few of them will take it. And yes I already made sure they were not paid relays. It was especially true for the damus relay, and the snort one seems to be working again now. I fear websockets might not be as scalable as we think.
I don't think its fair to say that. Just because they didn't have all the federation features available at day one doesn't mean its bad.
I don't seem to have the same experience as you reading their docs, before they even had a web app or android client available, I was able to create an account and follow #[4] just by reading their docs and making http requests.
Just recently I made a silly bot that posts on both Nostr and Bluesky, for Bluesky it just worked, but on Nostr I had problems getting relays to accept my notes. #[5]
Zaps on Bluesky are entirely possible, in fact my account already has a hidden lud16 in its profile data, I made a document about it already. https://github.com/MichaelPriebe/bluesky-zaps/blob/master/README.md For now there would need to be a custom client, but reading some things that the very active developers are saying, it might not be needed in the future.
People are so distracted by everything else in the world. Bitcoin is the only thing that matters and the rest is noise. As long as you aren't harming another human being, you do you.
Does anyone have a website that is collecting and testing relays or something? Seems like only two of the ones I have actually accept my notes lol
He's so handsome! Look at him and that cute little face. Oh the dog is cool too!
They haven't added federation yet. But that's the thing they are working on now.
Unfortunately they went a bit too hard on focusing on a Twitter product and not developer community.
Could we get some clarification on your involvement with Bluesky? Did you give up on them? You seem to really love Nostr.
omg you are so slay!
Promoting Bitcoin is one of the most selfless acts one can do, each sat someone else stacks is one less for you. Now think about why all these exchanges barely promote Bitcoin.
