keep in mind I'm doing relay server ops on my own, building three nostr clients, an embedded relay/db, and managing a team of devs. I have users telling me every day that damus sucks because it doesn't have as many features as other clients. I can barely pay the people who are trying to help while their grants get rejected. I am trying my best to keep up, so I'm not sure when I can get to it. thx for your patience.

Ok well if you trust the operator, we're back to a weaker form of banking

2 things on cashu. It is self custodial sort of and sort of not, but you have to trust the issuing mint operator to be honest.

It isn't linked to dollars. Sats and LN are the native currency for 'exchanging' for cashu tokens. Send sats, get tokens.

I don't want a signer though. I just want someone to securely store my nsec. From what I gather (after completing the onboarding) this will require me to approve events. I don't really want that.

OpenKeychain is an open-source Android app that implements the OpenPGP standard, enabling secure encryption, decryption, signing, and verification of data. Compatible with tools like K-9 Mail, it simplifies cryptographic key management and secure communications. Learn more at openkeychain.org.

Can you share what nostr apps are you using?

Only using on wifi or you use nostr on mobile data?

Since the last update, Citrine uses 25-45% of my battery 😂 I had to uninstall it. Hopefully a new update comes out soon and fixes it.

No, I'd recommend to follow Agron's advice.

have been at this for years now, the POW is there.

Below are the metrics for Once Bitten. It's great to see the flippening happen, but let's widen that gap!

I’ve tried some stuff on ollama but it was running too slow to be useful

Any Ai model that’s as good as chargpt 4o but doesn’t censor?

Venice AI seems too dumb to be useful. Can’t even find basic things.

Me too, I would prefer if nsec.app was the signer, I must be honest with you guys, it feels much safer instead of typing your NSEC everytime you want to sign in to Primal; device keyboards store your entire input history.

I don’t think there’s a an easy way. I just sent a few txs and left 21 sats in the wallet.

Looking at potentially supporting both, but haven't decided yet.

Yes, we are working on adding push notifications to Primal.

How far you want to go depends on your threat model. The higher the threat model, the more you will have to sacrifice convenience. It may be a situation where radio communication with frewuency hopping and encryption is better than using a cell at all.

Keep your phone's location services off. Either way, your SIM can track you, your phone is constantly pinging cell towers. The only way to use a cellphone anonymously is to have airplane mode activated 24/7 with no SIM card, plugged directly into a modem, no WiFi. Then use Tor, or at the very least an always on VPN with killswitch engaged. GrapheneOS will spoof your phone's MAC address.

The travel phone should be kept in a faraday bag when it's in your car and at frequented locations that could doxx you. This is not always possible for many people, but the more convenience, the less privacy.

The idea is to understand the more often you use it outside and where you use it, the easier it will be to fingerprint and track you and act accordingly.

New scanning tech allows your device to be "fingerprinted" to your tag number and registration, and all the other signals coming from your car (car cell modem, animal chip, mobile, even library books) with a scanner WHILE YOUR CAR IS MOVING.

Definitely put the phone in airplane mode or turn it off and keep it in the faraday bag whenever possible before turning into a parking lot. Scanners are often used in parking lots.

If you have to travel, silent.link has some pretty awesome pay as you go, super fast data only esims. Because they are anonymous international esims, the cell providers can see that they are on the network, but because they are roaming on the network, the network provider cannot attach that sim to your identity.

This does not however prevent device scanning or triangulation, hence the faraday bag.

You have to know your threat model. Some people with more extreme threat models may choose to use no phone or use multiple throwaway phones and multiple esims.

When travelling, carry an open source travel WiFi router like the Beryl AX with OpenWrt, OpenVPN, and Wireguard pre-installed and connect to that LINE-IN instead of the hotel WiFi.

This one was a banger, I think you're gonna get a lot of value as a great discussion. We crossed the 2 1/2 hour mark.

When will android version be available on fdroid or obtainium?

They already "opened sourced" everything back in March or April.

Keet is Bitfinex's UI for pear and holepunch, which will probably never be open sourced

(Pear and Holepunch are FOSS)

Can I download it through fdroid or obtanium? Dont got the playstore on my device

It's already happened, its just barely begun. Pear Runtime was released in February but i already use it constantly. Except for the game (which was a test and run over pear but was barely a rough draft) these are all real examples of things i do regularly.

YubiKeys have quickly become a very popular hardware device for Casa users.

Since we released it 3 weeks ago, 25% of new users are using a YubiKey as one key in their vault. Already the third most popular hardware device.

And the top 3 are very close - number 1 is 33% of users. YubiKey could easily be number 1 in short order.

Cool keys are cool 😎

They bothered to implement anti-exfil (provably random nonces). This means that a malicious firmware or even malicious hardware wallet can’t steal your coin! For every other hardware wallet, you’re blindly trusting Amazon/UPS/five factories in China/the webserver you got the firmware from/etc/etc. The idea that none of these parties have anyone working there who might want to go steal people’s coin is absurd, frankly.

Bet it’s monero people. J/K. But, seriously, I’ll bets it’s monero people. nostr:note1jy3myg3d38e28xyjavdjlme97x4phh3c6qacas69uwqry94mad5s0dlfpr

Has an unprecedented amount of insight into the chain and could assist the feds in deobfuscation techniques, etc.

I still stand by what I said.
