Yes, the getalby accounts are not working now unless you host in a server Alby Hub or you subscribe to Alby Cloud. They switched to a non-custodial model so they don't want to get in trouble for holding people's funds. The custodial ones that are easy now are Coinos and Wallet of Satoshi. Or you can use Strike but then you need to KYC etc. I have an account there and they are great too!

That's great!

For lightning it's very easy with coinos.io you make an account there and you get a lightning address that looks like an email. You enter that in your Nostr app under your profile settings and you are ready to receive bitcoin via lightning 😉⚡

Let me know if you need more assistance!

Those are the apps I go back and forth on Android. On desktop I use iris.to and primal.net

Yes! What do you think is the biggest pain point..?

I was trying to make some bots to help with content but I am not sure that's helping at this point until we fix more fundamental stuff like how apps display correctly notifications and threads? I keep coming back to Amethyst because of that...

#Nostr has become my only constant social media platform I check on a daily basis...

Twitter is too chaotic. Some good threads but it's not engaging. You just throw posts and comments in the void.

And I only have Instagram left just to go and like my wife's amazing photos 😜

Nostr FTW!

Finally had a chance to have q listen to the show and the different fears related to #bitcoin .

At the invitation of having plebs share some fears, a few that weren’t mentioned and that have gotten into my radar recently are:

- ossification : listening to a few nostr:npub17u5dneh8qjp43ecfxr6u5e9sjamsmxyuekrg2nlxrrk6nj9rsyrqywt4tp interviews has made me wary of what it means to only focus development on other layers and not on the base chain, and what it would mean if little by little we have few and few maintainer developers to make sure that the chain which may hold more than trillions in value starts to lose devs and people who can maintain the decentralized ethos and priorities in the code.

- base layer being self reliant: for the moment miners can rely on the block subsidy. But seeing how in these usd spike moments, transaction fees remain low… if development on second and third layer remain the way to make transacting on bitcoin cheaper, then I wonder how the incentive model will make sense for miners after no more block rewards (long timeframe, but still a fear 😅 for the legacy)

- self-custody blacklisting: the more paper bitcoin goes into circulation, and the more institutions want to hold bitcoin for you, I worry for self-custodial criminalization (make people have to choose to behave outside of the law) and the fact that may result in less and less ways to transact with your self-custodied stack.

Anyway, just some thoughts that sparked off listening to your pod :)

Those are great comments! Never heard of ossification before, very interesting. Now with some ETF players giving back to developers from their profits hopefully will keep them going for longer!

We talk a bit in the upcoming episode about the future of block rewards and transaction fees. I think that will solve itself with time and with the increased value of bitcoin.

Very good point about stuff custody, I have that fear too actually. Hopefully we can vote with our feet if that comes to the country we live in. But yeah that's a big one and Europe was in talks about somehow making self custody illegal. I hope it doesn't happen...

GM Nostr!
