I think the Amish are the true cypherpunks. This community is completely off line, self sovereign, lives off the land and all that shit that all these bitcoin podcasts say they want.

Guys, they don't even have phones that's how much they take their privacy seriously. 🤣

Yeah, but then you get them hooked to online media and are they even Amish at that point? 🤔🤣 I jest.

Talked to a guy a recently who's in the online marketing space.

He had a lot of interesting questions about nostr.

BUT

He just couldn't get past the fact that you won't be able to force people to watch your shitty ads in the legacy, attention-hijacking way.

If you want people to see ads you'll have to earn it.

He felt almost INSULTED.

Entitled to the ability to drop a few $$ mils on Facebook's lap and get immediate access to millions of targeted eyeballs.

As if someone had taken away he had taken for granted, the unalienable right to pay to feed shit down people's throats

Like a central banker having their handy printer taken away.

The amount of cope, yelling-at-the-clouds and hate we'll see will be unprecedented.

Interestingly enough, I think nostr will be amazing for SMART marketers and true talent and honed craft will shine even more than in the legacy web.

This explains why ad quality has been going down the drain in the fiat era. I remember superbowl ads were an EVENT. Now, nobosy even remembers them. Creativity has been phased out of the ad industry, because they don't need it, they can simply shove it down our throats. So good creative ads are less valuable than ever. Sad state of affairs. Bitcoin and Nostr fixes this.

Checks out.

Notice how the NPR article doesn't mention why DOGE cannot be stopped. Coping hard.

OK ODELL, you win.

Every damn day I login to Nostr, the first post on my feed is you commanding us to "LIVE FREE" in ALL CAPS.

It was cute at first, then it got really annoying. "I KNOW! I AM TRYING!" I might have shouted into the void a few times.

Now I am resigned to your Pavlonian slogan. My parents might have escaped Communism, but I don't think I can escape Nostr.

**#CakeWallet the only mature wallet out there that I know of that is doing anything rn to further the privacy of Bitcoin transactions with full send, receive, and privacy preserving scanning support for Silent Payments**

**Silent Payments**

Silent Payments (BIP-352) is a protocol for static payment addresses in Bitcoin without on-chain linkability of payments or a need for on-chain notifications.

This protocol protects the receivers privacy by automatically having the sender generate a new Taproot address on chain only the receiver can know is theirs and spend from everytime a transaction is sent to their Silent Payments address.

For a more detailed explanation on how Silent Payments works, please visit https://silentpayments.xyz/

One major difference of Silent Payments is in order to fully protect the privacy of the user and not have the server know which Silent Payments transactions belong to them, we opt for on-device scanning of transactions instead of having a light wallet and making the node do all the work for us. This incurrs greater synchronization time, device power consumption and hardware utilization, but protects the privacy of the user much more.

Silent Payment addresses start with ```sp1```

**Scanning**

In order to enable Silent Payments, tap the switch on the “Silent Payments” card to start scanning blocks for Silent Payments.

The wallet will start scanning from the height of when you first opened it after installing 4.18.0 or higher, or continue where it left off. Silent Payments scanning will automnatically turn off once it has reached the current blockheight. If you would like it to automatically scan for Silent Payment transactions on new blocks, please toggle an option under Menu -> Silent Payments settings -> “Set Silent Payments always scanning” to on. Silent Payments scanning will automatically toggle on if there are new blocks to scan and toggle back off when it’s finished.

**Receiving**

In order to receive a Silent Payment, you must give the sender your Silent Payments address, which can be found by switching the address type to Silent Payments following the instructions at the beginning of this page. When you want to receive the transaction in the wallet, you must enable Silent Payments scanning.

**Sending**

You can send Bitcoin to an existing Silent Payments address (```sp1xxx```) using the same flow. No extra work is required to send to a Silent Payments address, the wallet will handle the unique address generation in the background before sending your transaction.
