I especially love the “Service charge” part of the taxes section. Not sure about other countries, but they have it in UAE. Probably the main reason service staff often doesn’t get any tips.

You’re spot on. Things are looking quite sad on iOS in terms of Nostr extensions. Orion supports browser extensions too, but there’s some issue there with displaying Nostr-related web pages there at the moment. Yet I heard nostr:npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x say they’re aware of the problem and hopefully Orion guys will be able to fix that. Would love to have Alby work as a mobile browser extension on iOS .

Here’s why private-public key account system is worth the “headache”. Unfortunately, most normies won’t realize this until their account gets stolen via a sim swap. nostr:note1vws08rtt27p2a0xyjrqk5yglt7nng3rh8h8shg76cxy9wxv6ks7slsl609

#Nostr is so powerful, it allows you to connect two strangers in a country 5k miles away from you. nostr:note15w50hxf64kytuvygpy5lcpc50cs3rmu5fwlymxrspcc0hsqv3ucq6z53va

Yep. Next News title is gonna say “All Cannabis Shops Across US Now Accept Bitcoin”

In the Silk Road era, bitcoin was stigmatized as a tool for criminals. Now, a decade later, it’s clear that any centralized organization has the power to arbitrarily prevent any legal business or even an entire industry from accepting payments.

#Bitcoin is for everyone.

Open protocols - be it #Nostr, #Bitcoin, or anything else - and infrastructure built on top of them are usually less convenient than traditional platforms. That’s a trade off caused by the higher levels of security, privacy and/or censorship-resistance.

As long as masses are comfy on their couches absorbing the stuff pouring on them by centralized media dictated by the elites and spoofed by algorithms, as long as they don’t feel their comfort threatened, most people will prefer convenience over sovereignty. Yet, as people start feeling their privileges endangered, many will turn to the tools they deemed unnecessary and overcomplicated.

Embrace free tech now and gain first-mover advantage, or join out of necessity and struggle keeping up later. nostr:note1w5mmm9qfxjgfja9w8hajkt7urckanhc2cexqlc2k37r4d6zgjrdskjln6k

https://www.21ideas.org has been my project aimed at the Russian speaking audience for the past 4 years, and lately I’ve become unhappy with two things about it:

Closed source

Lack of structure

For now I want to structure whatever info I have in Russian in a way that any newbie or bitcoiner can visit the resource and find what they are looking for - be it a full-on step-by-step onboarding or a specific topic.

That said, we did adjust the website to support English in the future and once we’re done with the Russian version and if we’re happy with the outcome, we’ll add the English section. There are many nice bitcoin resources in English, but I feel like we could create the one which will be useful and intuitive for the readers.

Another thing I love about this project is that anyone will be able to contribute - add an article or any other material they find useful.

Exploring Obsidian plugins now to make contributions a breeze. h/t nostr:npub1zvvv8fm7w2ngwdyszg3y6zgp6vwqlht8zrr8wcmjaxjecrvpjfwsd0zs7w

Open-sourcing 21ideas educational #bitcoin-only project is in full swing. Worked on improving the website for two days and I’m happy with the progress: the structure is pretty much figured out, formatting is set.. obviously, tons of work ahead, but we’re getting there.

The biggest challenge i see now I setting SEO properly, so if there are nostriches who can give an advise or help out in this field, please let me know. Will be happy to #zap you for your efforts!

As masses become ignorant in regards to privacy the fight for freedom may seem impossible to win.

Now is the time to embrace open protocols and spread awareness among our close ones.
