After testing all my available options, I’ve discovered that BlueWallet is the fastest, easiest, and most versatile wallet for zapping. ⚡️

Here’s why:

1. It can receive zaps by linking it with LN.tips and Alby, so it has two static Lightning Addresses. (Three, if you count the LN.tips anonymous address.)

2. I can set any Lightning wallet as my default, so I can switch between my LN.tips, Alby, BlueWallet default, or my node just by reordering them.

3. I can choose which of my Lightning wallets to pay from on the fly.

4. I can transfer sats between wallets within the same app and reload with on-chain bitcoin if necessary.

5. It’s very quick, so there’s not much of a delay between sending a zap and returning to Damus.

6. It’s reliable. There have been no outages, and because it allows multiple wallets connected to different servers, any single outage won’t bring it down.

The only caveat is that if you choose encrypted storage, you’ll need to enter a passcode when it opens, so that either has to be turned off, or you should make the code short and easy to enter.

That’s it. Hope this mini-review helps some people! 🤙

Haven’t been to a wedding for years, love a good wedding!

Now that I have my node in sync I’m going to start setting up lightning. What are the pros & cons of LND vs CLN on Umbrel? I’ve experimented a little with both previously and it seemed that more of the Umbrel apps work with LND so I’m leaning towards that at the moment.

I think zaps are only in TestFlight beta. I had to end my TestFlight because it wouldn’t keep any of my new follows or relays

In don't live on my bitcoin, so there's no need to disclose my BTC balance to those shifty Mormons.

I'm ashamed to admit it, but for the past year, up until January, I was a dining out degenerate. Maybe half my meals were from a restaurant. Now it is down to 2 or 3 meals from a monthly YNAB Dining and Entertainment budget. I can't believe all the money I've been wasting.

Prove it.

Oh shoot. I forgot. This whole nostr movement might be a good opportunity to fix one of the main issues with all social media - how they force unidimensionality on everyone.

Basically, me (and all of us) are multidimensional human beings. I'm not *just* a developer or Bitcoin maxi, etc. There is more to me than that, that I'd like to share. But most people will not be interested in other aspects of me. They might want to see only technical posts etc. And then stop following me, as I produce posts they don't care about.

This forces everyone that wants to have any reach to be... just a one-topic pony. You only post about one area. Sure you could have multiple IDs, but that's not very practical.

I wish that users could have "personas" and select persona to post to when posting stuff, and then be able to follow only subset of personas of people they want to follow. Sure, I love your technical posts, but don't want to see your stupid political opinions (and vice versa, I guess), or I don't care about your hiking trips, or taste in cars, etc. If you could post your technical content under "dev" persona, I could follow that and I wouldn't have to unfollow you altogether.

I can send a sat to anyone anywhere in the world.🤯
