this was the issue. tysm!
hmm damus doesn’t render images immediately and require a tap to load/render?
would be happy to pay a relay. which do you recommend?
i like primal but notifications are pretty bad (likes not collapsing is really tough). trying out damus for a bit here. multi client open network FTW
oh great. that wasn’t so bad! got purple. i guess no easy way of doing recurring sat payments monthly?
wait can i not pay for purple with sats?
Thank you nostr:npub1xxxxxxxepkq0caa5erw2zc8p0w2202es4fasrta7w6akthjt9rsqtvg57d
The only thing you are doing wrong is existing in Tim Apple’s world nostr:npub1jpvsahpy0vgq7gu8nfqjkeskce0gwjk8jpss590xkvjh5xxe4epsruqgsz
oh shit it worked! okay gonna play around with damus for a while now
i’d use damus but i can’t seem to zap on it. am i doing something wrong?
yeah totally. i’m just trying to understand what the trust assumptions exactly are 😅
it's a real site that arkb's official website links to as its proof of reserves: https://21shares.com/en-US/product/ARKB
but real ppl send this to me as a proof of reserves and i can't understand how it works
trying to understand the chainlink proof of reserves product for bitcoin etfs. for example this is the site for arkb (https://data.chain.link/feeds/ethereum/mainnet/arkb-por)
how does this work? seems like it's not really tied to the bitcoin blockchain and is simply a custodian attestation but how do the chainlink oracles get access to arkb's bitcoin balance at coinbase? it's non public information no?
i’m willing to pay sats to good relays and good clients. please charge me for services i value. ad attention based internet of the past has set bad norms and we need to break out of them.
now that i *use* sats (zap ppl everyday), sats feel more money-like to me intuitively. there's something primal about using a form of money that makes you believe that it is money. i'm excited for the world to bypass the whole intellectual journey of "is bitcoin money?" and just intuitively experience bitcoin as money by using it
can send to anyone. they need to redeem (or kind of like “claim”) the esats at the mint and can send it out via LN to themselves somewhere else, keep it there.
also if you’re at another mint you like better the mints can swap ecash so that you end up with your preferred ecash
when ppl say offline payments is possible with ecash, is that practically true? yes i can give you a ecash token offline (via QR code scan or paper mail or something) but wouldn’t the recipient need an internet connection to check with the mint for double spending? so the payment can be initiated offline but cannot be completed offline. is this wrong?
