It is a website but it has a manifest that tells a mobile browser to handle it in a particular way.

This includes hiding the address bar, and controlling keyboard and a bunch of other UI/UX stuff, plus there a bit of client side backend you can implement.

eg you can use “service workers” which will run stuff on the client in the background.

PWA’s have been a thing for ~10 years.

I mostly interact with my VPS tools / junk via pretty PWA’s.

I've literally watched windows mobile, rim, android , and Apple since they all first started. Did tech support for a lot of these also. And over all these years. I have never seen apps suppressed on Android like Apple does. I have witnessed Apple do this with many apps, not just nostr clients and wallets. They are a lot more strict because it needs to be THERE way. Android is open source. So the doesn't happen. Hence why it's not just Google phones that use android. But LG, Motorola, umidigi, Blu, and the list goes on forever. Open source for the win folks. 🏆

Yes, we need to be prepared for all wallet apps on appstore to get refused in the next few weeks. Hopefully wallet apps can give users an alternative way to download the app, if that's even possible with iOS.

quite raw and even confusing at times, but I'm getting a grip of it. Pretty cool!

How to reply to a PoS shitcoiner:

PoS has been around for thousands of years, it's nothing new. Government money is proof of stake, as are company shares.

Egyptians, Romans, and Chinese were using this 2000+ years ago. Italian city states perfected it 800 years ago. Stake based systems are not new.

Using stake to solve the Byzantine General's Problem is also not new. Cypherpunks have been working on this shit since the late 80s.

The cypherpunks on the mailing list (that Satoshi sent the white paper to for peer review) are literally the people who created the *entire body cryptographic of work* used by proof of stake coins today (stake based byzantine fault tolerance). They are well aware of the fundamental limitations of stake based BFT because they are ones who came up with it in the first place...

If Bitcoin was proof of stake *you would never have heared of it* because it wouldn't have survived 5 minutes of peer review by any real cryptographers.

Time-based difficulty-adjusted PoW *is* the breakthrough and is the *only* reason you and anyone has ever heard of a "blockchain".

The failure modes of stake based BFT are well known, and it fails *every time* for a number of reasons, but if you are betting on a shitcoin to increase in value then the failure mode will probably involve the fact that stakeholders have an incentive to increase the supply to benefit from the cantillion effect.

Mathematical fact: you cannot deploy external capital to defend a system that is secured by internal history (stake). This is why stake based BFT does *not* secure against attack by a state or central bank, which means *anything* secured by PoS MUST comply with governments.

Bitcoin's value proposition is that Bitcoin let's you do things that bankers and governments *don't want you to do*. If bankers and governmensts can nuke your shitcoin, then you do what they say or they nuke it.

What's the value proposition beyond CBDCs if your shitcoin ultimately has to comply with governments and bankers?

You cannot out-stake a bad actor who has aquired sufficient stake to fuck with the system, your only option is to fork them out. Then it becomes a competition between charismatic personalities convincing the market to follow their authority (their fork) instead of the other guy.

So how do you solve the problem of removing a bad actor without requiring some form of authority? Read the Bitcoin white paper. Satoshi knew exactly how stake based systems fail, that's *exactly* why he used proof of work instead.

Zaps on Twitter good

Zaps on Damus bad

#[1]​ #FuckApple

Damus will be removed from the app store in 14 days, apple says zaps are not allowed on their platform because they *could* be used by content creators to sell digital content. This is right before I’m about to give my talk at the oslo freedom forum on how decentralized social networks with lightning integration are bringing financial freedom to the masses... pretty sus… 😕

This would be a watershed moment: If people can’t transact freely p2p on their platform, this has huge implications for the entire ecosystem of apps with lightning integration and v4v.

Don’t do it

the battles for energey will still exist.

Have you heard of softwar?

We heard #nostr was dead. So every zap ⚡ must go!
