'fallen' is bit of a stretch. it's always been this way
i havent seen anyone forcing anyone to use ecash, don't use it if you don't want to
We have recently disabled the ability to zap nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 wallet users from Mutiny. You may still pay their invoices or LN addresses normally but a big problem we were seeing was force closed channels due to stuck payments to Zeus due to their work arounds with locked payments. Which harm both the user experience and other lightning nodes on the network.
Since nostr users are mostly unaware if they're zapping Zeus users or not, we are taking this step proactively to protect users from having a 10 sat zap costing them serious on chain channel closing (and reopening) fees.
The approach we are working on for solving lightning addresses on mobile wallets is a fedimint hybrid approach where the sats end up at a federation if you are offline but get swept to your self custodial channel when you come online. Payments will settle instantly with the federation and it won't lock up unnecessary HTLCs on the network.
Ideally we get the ability to do offline receives normally on LN but that future is looking really grim with LND's continued priorities on shitcoins instead of features, and offline receives depends on a network wide upgrade.
We petition Zeus to move to a more responsible node implementation like LDK unless their plan is to add shitcoins or break LN further.
how much work would be required to switch implementations? I'd imagine a lot?
nostr:npub108pv4cg5ag52nq082kd5leu9ffrn2gdg6g4xdwatn73y36uzplmq9uyev6 I was looking into the Mostr bridge. Im not a technical person but I was curious.
If a user from mastodon makes a note on Nostr and someone comments does the mastodon person see it and do other fediverse people see it.
And is there a way to have Nostr notes show up on Mastadon and other fediverse places. (did I phrase these right. Am I understanding how fediverse works)
Alex was at Nostrasia and did a talk. This is the link. I think the answer is: yes possibly. but there are a bunch of fediverse servers that have the bridge blocked, so they may not get the replies.
Nostr is the future of Bitcoin payments. We can now send hundreds of bitcoin payments with one click and we can do it anonymously, automatically, asynchronously and non-custodially. This is all possible with Nostr as Bitcoinβs Layer 3.
Last week at Nostrasia I shared my thoughts on accelerating Bitcoin adoption and showed whatβs possible in just a few weeks of building with the complete Bitcoin payment stack. Here is the video and full presentation.
Reach out if you would like to collaborate! Letβs build!

this is a dope talk. loved it. love to see it. more power to you
don't know and don't care. don't have time for their bullshit.
So I would like to reply to nostr:npub1t89vhkp66hz54kga4n635jwqdc977uc2crnuyddx7maznwfrpupqwra5h9 's note but in none of the clients I usually use can I open it. I can find it as a reply to another note via his profile for example but when I open it, it just does not work.
Try for yourself: https://njump.me/nevent1qqsqrqvhrgq4zzr8au2dh89kzuzuhnth02u2pzsx6j39xewyqj5leac7ejuku
Ironically he's lamenting about not getting replies in that note so I thought I'd bring it up.
While njump does render the note, clicking these links to other clients usually gives me empty pages or infinite spinners.
what were you going to say...
thanks for invite β but I'm not on telegram π
also i don't run a relay. just was reading some notes yesterday
check out nostr:npub1h0rnetjp2qka44ayzyjcdh90gs3gzrtq4f94033heng6w34s0pzq2yfv0g and nostr:npub1t89vhkp66hz54kga4n635jwqdc977uc2crnuyddx7maznwfrpupqwra5h9 there was a presentation on this at #nostrasia
if you do run relays thank you π
bitstream was developed with nostr in mind. people have been working on this problem in the background. I'm hopeful project like that helps reverse this trend
is this a pathway for enabling nostr relays to charge based on usage?
does it need OP_CAT for lightning?
can decryption keys be shared around?
I dont like to derive hope from politics, but i also cant rly deny that this vid makes me feel a bit more hopefull about the state of the world

glad she is there speaking truth
unfortunately I can imagine her audience thinking all her examples are great reasons to surveil our money and debank people
I would respond:
ok
and move on with my life
its gained 120% YTD in a high inflation environment. whole thing reads like it was written by chat gpt
