A lightweight rust-nostr app for Android
I think we would have some evidence by now. Their wallet does a lot but not everything and that's reasonable. I'm only surprised it doesn't have coin control by now.
I think they have been around for years and something do with the VPN from Calyx.
So what? Ecash mints should have more privacy and it's super easy to spin one up.
Good luck playing whac a mole with possibly any lightning node hosted anywhere.
That's it. The UX is terrible because you're more frequently interacting with the raw seed phrase.
Must be time for a Ten31 retreat.
Crypto Wallet Makers Metamask, Phantom May Be Liable for Lost User Funds
https://decrypt.co/300424/biden-cfpb-crypto-wallet-metamask-phantom
A Hail Mary filing by an appointee of Joe Biden’s outgoing presidential administration seeks to hold crypto walletdevelopers liable for any fraud or erroneous transactions impacting users—but the move is almost certain to be quashed once Donald Trump takes office later this month.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau today announced a new proposed interpretive rule that would grant it the authority to regulate digital asset wallets as financial institutions offering electronic funds transfers. Doing so would allow the Bureau to hold wallet providers like MetaMask and Phantom responsible for fraudulent or erroneous, “unauthorized” transactions.
The agency, which was created to protect consumers in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, says it is legally permitted to make these adjustments, but is opening the proposed rule to two months of public comment as a courtesy.
“When people pay for their family expenses using new forms of digital payments, they must be confident that their transactions are not tainted by harmful surveillance or errors,” the Bureau’s director, Rohhit Chopra, said today in a statement.
The response to the proposed rule by crypto policy leaders was swift and critical.
“Hacked because you… believed that fashion model in Malaysia needed 5,000 bucks to fly to see you? Don’t worry your wallet might have to cover it,” Bill Hughes, senior counsel at MetaMask creator Consensys, quipped sarcastically in a post to X on Friday. (Disclosure: Consensys is one of 22 investors in Decrypt.)
“This is like holding a hammer manufacturer (who in many cases gives hammers away for free) liable for the misuse of a hammer,” Joey Krug, a partner at Peter Thiel's tech-focused venture firm Founders Fund, posted in response.
Many in crypto saw the move, if galling, as unsurprising—given the deep connections between the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and Elizabeth Warren, perhaps the industry’s most hated villain.
Warren herself proposed the creation of the Bureau back in 2007, while still a professor at Harvard. Rohit Chopra, the agency’s current director, is a longtime Warren ally who was nominated to the position by Joe Biden in 2020.
If crypto leaders are frustrated about Friday’s proposed rule, though, they don’t seem overly concerned about its potential harm. In 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the president can dismiss the Bureau’s director without cause.
Given the incoming Trump Administration’s intensely pro-crypto positioning—and Republicans' long-simmering anger at the mere existence of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau—it appears likely that Chopra, and his efforts to rein in crypto wallet providers, are living on borrowed time.

Is the wallet address delinked from the original seed phrase and then linked to the existing wallet seed?
I think the issue is fixed. I reinstalled with the latest update.
I'm very thankful for the Tor library.
nostr:npub1235tem4hfn34edqh8hxfja9amty73998f0eagnuu4zm423s9e8ksdg0ht5 what's your view on the direction of atomic #Linux distros, like #Fedora Silverblue, where the root OS is sealed in an immutable boot image that is only updated via atomic transactions, and all user space is pushed into containers via Flatpak and toolbx?
I need to look into toolbx. I primarily use Flatpaks but I'm confused by how the rest of the apps get installed.
nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqx458tl7h9xcxa66vr4a8pg0h2qz96pnhwnfpcra0le9090uk5t5qjlvqlu Fedora is much better than Debian-based distributions and Silverblue is much cleaner than the traditional approach. Regular Fedora isn't that much different from a security perspective if you use them in a similar way. It comes across as if Silverblue is making it work like a more secure mobile OS security model but it's only part of the way towards resembling the approach of a mobile OS from 10 years ago.
How is it not that much different from a security perspective?
I'm a fan. Zap me and I'll check out your products or services. nostr:npub1jg552aulj07skd6e7y2hu0vl5g8nl5jvfw8jhn6jpjk0vjd0waksvl6n8n sent me a good zap recently.
I also recommend Mempal. You can connect it to your Mempool URL over TOR. https://github.com/aeonBTC/Mempal
That's a completely seperate point.
Primal is open source and their app doesn't have trackers.
I think a few "influencers" gave them a boost.
nostr:npub1lxktpvp5cnq3wl5ctu2x88e30mc0ahh8v47qvzc5dmneqqjrzlkqpm5xlcis one of my favorites. Take your time. Ask many questions.
You can use the same connection string for all of those apps..
Yeah, I've done that. I just wish it would have been safer back then.
It's a shame that Amber didn't exist when I created this keypair.
It works and doesn't have a disgusting UI. And Damus for Android hasn't been released yet.
NWC stopped working for me at some point. This is the second time I've seen someone say they didn't receive sats. I've never experienced it personally.
Have you tried LND Connect?
