But gosh do so many of us want to. Hopefully more of us are able to make the jump sooner than later.

thankful for spooks in canada and nostr:npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8 for reminding me of the importance of non-kyc lightning apps such as #robosats. Decided to ditch shakepay today and will be focusing no-kyc exchanges only. The ux in these apps are pretty rough. Looking forward to contributing to these when I can.
I would love a native client for robosats, bonus with an order book backed by nostr. So much work to be done here.
You sir are the man.
Mine hid from the Nazi SS in a barn during WW2 so if she had the technical capability, she'd be a #nostrich. She's still alive too.
Wow. Wild to think about.
Zoom out. Decentralized protocols and apps and things, a la web5 will hopefully.
Let it cook.
You're a real one man.
I hope it does...
In the quest for good UX and an effective search, I think there's a crucial need for emotional engagement and FUN — qualities that captivate and retain users. And not just "logic".
While rad innovations like #zaps and key pair encryption, clients, relays (etc) are awesome, they won't keep users around with just abstract logic (bitcoin/money).
I think it's up to us to pass down the cool influences that brought us here, if we're self aware enough to discern them. It's the art, music and stories we grew up that led a lot of us here. But it's mostly overlooked.
Recognizing talent, like the UX designer behind nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5, and influential figures in these spaces is crucial. If we want Nostr to #compete.
There's a chance this might take another decade/new generation. And zooming out further, to really compete is to completely shift perspectives and worldviews. This is web5.
And so I see it as up to us to pass on the influences that got us here.
And tip your local client-tender folks. nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z
Yes we'll said. FOSS and decentralized systems are like this.
TLDR: host your own password manager.
Password managers are great, but you run the risk of the company getting hacked as has happened to LastPass and others. You could use something like Bitwarden and set up 2FA and use a Yubikey. This will protect you against your passwords getting hacked, but if the company’s servers go down then you’re screwed. If you enable cache then you might be ok, but you’re still relying on a third party to store your data and if you opt for the plan with yubikey you have to pay a ~$10 annual subscription.
Solution: host your own instance of Bitwarden (Vaultwarden). Not only do you get to keep the convenience of using a password manager, but you can rest easy knowing you’re hosting your data in your own server. This does require you spin up a server, which can be done fairly easily nowadays. I’m a big fan of StartOS from nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll they sell plug and play servers, but you can use an old laptop if you don’t want to buy new hardware.
I would suggest you keep the passwords to the Server and Vaultwarden on a piece of paper inside a tamper evident bag. This way you keep the gatekeeper passwords offline, and if someone were to come across those passwords at your house they would still need to know what to do with it (go to your server LAN address). There are some tradeoffs and nuances, but I think this is a pretty solid option
Thanks. I've committed to hosting my own server. Going to get a Start9. I'm slowly going down this path and can conceptualize what you're saying... thanks.
Thnx. I'm wanting to get into self hosting. Going to buy a Start9 and start from there!
Watching the power structures grapple with FOSSy type stuff is disappointing and disheartening. They're so afraid of not having control.
Thnx. No this is Green Wallet questions. I just don't even know how to locate the code in Github.
Thanks man. I actually tried this today. GPT did pretty good but I had to copy and pasta it bit by bit. Finding the block of code I'm looking for is the first issue. GPT even couldn't help locate it.
Powershell. I shall look this up now.
Need advice on a better way to manage all the passwords one has.
I'm against a password manager per se as they seem like honeypots. What methods do you all find useful?
I need someone who can understand and audit code. Specifically CSV timelocks on multisig. I'll send some sats for the help...
