If you invoice with Zaprite, it'll convert the price into sats for you at the time of payment (: Supports both Bitcoin and fiat payment rails.

How to use Nostr while you're offline via Amethyst

Yesterday, some of you may have seen my test notes as I was testing out a scenario where I had lost Internet access and still wanted to use Nostr. Maybe you live in a rural area like me and sometimes your cellular service is spotty. Maybe you are about to board an airplane and don't want to pay for expensive and often shitty WiFi. This solution will work for you, if you have Android.

First, you'll need to install the Citrine relay on your mobile device. This is a relay that runs locally on your device. You can install it after you download it from GitHub or you can use an application manager such as Obtainium or Zap.store.

https://github.com/greenart7c3/Citrine

Once installed, launch the Citrine application and copy the relay URL from your notification drop down shade. It will look something like this.

ws://localhost:4869

Next, head into Amethyst's relay settings and add this new relay. Press save. That's it!

The next time you are without Internet access (or you can turn off WiFi and mobile data to test) you'll need to make sure that your new local really is running and then you'll creates new notes and replies as you previously would have done and post them as normal. This time however, they will only get posted to your local relay on your device.

Once your Internet connectivity has returned, you will need to re-broadcast your notes and replies out to all of your other relays for other people to be able to read them. That's easy to do, though you do need to do this manually for everything that you created while offline.

That's it! You can now use Amethyst offline and broadcast your offline events to the world at a later time.

I did try this with Primal on Android and had issues. First, when I added the new Citrine relay, all of my relays were nuked and I had to add them all back. 😡 Second, Primal will post to your Citrine relay when you're offline. I verified that the notes were there via Amethyst. However, once back online, the notes no longer showed up ony profile tab. Lastly, even if they did show up, Primal does not give you an option to broadcast an event from your timeline.

Good luck!

Citrine doesn't keep track of what it has and hasn't been able to broadcast and do that itself when connectivity returns?

Doing my best every day (: LOL

tl;dr: He posted a Bitcoin Pizza Day post with pics of him and his new girlfriend, tagging her account. Her account has a picture she took before skiing of her butt that said "Bumbum check before skiing". Bumbum Check is now a viral meme. The End.

The ones I've funded, yes.

I live 45 mins from El Yunque, the giant mountain in the middle of the rain forest on Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 (: I love to go hike there all the time!

Just one more in a long line of reasons to...

**GET YOUR DATA OFF OF GOOGLE'S SERVERS**

"UniSuper, an Australian pension fund that manages $135 billion worth of funds and has 647,000 members, had its entire account wiped out at Google Cloud, including all its backups that were stored on the service."

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/05/google-cloud-accidentally-nukes-customer-account-causes-two-weeks-of-downtime/

"UniSuper is an Australian "superannuation fund"—the US equivalent would be a 401(k). It's a retirement fund that employers pay into as part of an employee paycheck; in Australia, some amount of superfund payment is required by law for all employed people. Managing $135 billion worth of funds makes UniSuper a big enough company that, if something goes wrong, it gets the Google Cloud CEO on the phone instead of customer service."

Your daily reminder to not put all of your eggs (backups) in a single basket.

If there's not three distinct copies of data stored in different places, consider it gone.

Oh damn... I'm gonna have to get mine out and see where I have gaps. I've had a subscription since the 90's and bought a bunch of back issues back then...
