Happened to me on other providers. I think someone is just scraping LNURL's off of nostr profiles on relays
Android isn't cool with teenagers, and that's a big problem

Would help if they delivered devices to literally anywhere except 10 metres from their front door
Starting to think work-from-home policies make those companies less competitive. Nothing beats building something in close proximity, whiteboard, shoulder time, doing all that online is simply not the same

This is not what I had in mind guys, appreciate getting paid to get this crap but would be nice to set a minimum receive threshold
In our country, electricity is regularly turned off for 2 or more hours a day, on a schedule. How bout you?
Applies to Samouari as well
Paying "capital gains tax" on #Bitcoin "gains" is pretty messed up if fiat is becoming worth less. Our argument is that Bitcoin is better money and better reflects the value we want to store over time; I'm not "gaining" ground or capital, I'm trying to save what I produce, fiat is simply much worse. My gain is due to their loss.
If the unit value of fiat collapses versus Bitcoin, taxing me seems not only unfair but a pretty perverse incentive to collapse even further, in order to take back a bigger portion of the capital they destroyed.
So long as governments refuse to acknowledge Bitcoin as money, and continue playing fiat games, they'll appear entitled to a portion of this "gain", when really it's an inflation tax levied on savers. At minimum, my input cost should be inflation adjusted.
Let this be a warning. If you're planning on selling somewhere near the top of the coming cycle, get those transactions or deposits ready when fees are cheap, so that amongst the panic you aren't getting romped at 200+ sats/vB
https://m.primal.net/HPlD.mp4Getting bombarded with what looks like a SPAM attack of fake followers. Anyone else seeing this? What's the best way to limit something like this?
Curious if (because the protocol is completely open) a small POW (aka hashcash) be a viable deterrent for brand new accounts and maybe the first 10 posts or something. This could make it easier to allow all new accounts without prejudice, and very little friction for the user, while preventing someone from just coming in and mass creating 1,000s of accounts and posting mountains of spam. (could even make them bitcoin block hashes that are handed to the primary relay, maybe one day after years of this some relay wins a totally random block reward 🤣)
For any accounts that make it past the initial "POW zone" and still end up spamming relentlessly, could just be managed on a per occurrence basis. I suspect a simple barrier like this would likely prevent the overwhelming majority of the problem. 🤔🤔
I guess in principle:
- Clients should be able to ask a relay if its POW enabled, posting the npub at the same time, and it gets back a positive or zero difficulty target
- The relay decides how to treat unknown/new or abusive npubs, raising the necessary difficulty target if needed. Relay owners discretion if it gets raised based on events per minute, content, or whatever
- There would need to be some kind of nonce/POW field in each posted event JSON
- The client must then use the POW field as a scratchpad for adding a value that allows the whole events hash to meet the target difficulty, or be continually rejected
