Yo, #costarica plebs, best tips for a family of 5 doing a trial trip to #uvita to see whether we can live there? Where to stay for a few weeks? Thanks 🧡

Good morning… that TikTok vid I made about #Nostr is popping off, but riddle me this: why do people keep jumping in my comments claiming Nostr was made by the CIA? 🤨 it just doesn’t seem controllable enough for those folks.

6.15 #bitcoin hit your wallet, what would you do ?

Welcome.

Gave up on umbrel on my piece of crap pi that sounds like it's running full fan capacity 24/7. just gonna stick with core.

PV! I'm in Costa Rica now... anyone out here? Feeling a little out of my league traveling here tbh. Will be near Uvita tomorrow

A Fin Whale can emit a low frequency sound that can be heard for over 10,000 miles.

At 20 hz the distance between peaks on that sound wave is 75 meters.

It is emitted at 190 decibels, louder than most gunshots.

Primal wallet down? Can't zap like 30% of people right now lol

After months of work, I've discovered a way to build Chaumian Ecash mints on Lightning that don't hold the users' funds.

It's not clear to me yet whether this can actually be made useful or it's only theoretically possible but the sheer possibility makes me incredibly excited.

NOSTR ONLY

BITCOIN ONLY

NEVER LOOK BACK

JUST KEEP RACING TOWARDS OUR DESTINY OF FREEDOM AND ABUNDANCE

I sell a $20 product, used to get 70,000 sats per sale.

Latest sale just brought in 27,000 sats, which is almost a dust utxo at this point

You also trust your hardware device’s secure element. And you trust its generating a seed phrase with *actual* randomness. And you also trust someone else’s node. And you also trust your not being MITM attacked on a deposit.

And this may not all apply to you and we are all learning. But believe it or not, there’s a lot of trust still existing in the hold your own keys camp.

Coinbase Custody offers a really secure institutional product, but yeah these funds should absolutely be looking at where there are still gaps in that security and how they can improve. Solely holding their own keys would scare the absolute shit out of me though.

Your WoS (or any other LN custodian) account can be hacked as well. Infact even more easier to steal from WoS accounts: you simply log in and funds are yours.

Cashu has no logins. You'll need to hack the actual phone and hack the wallet to get out the ecash.

Potentially, but if you have a remote node you’d probably just want to install NWC on the box directly

Nice. What's it called?

And the VPS provider has to KYC?

How do you protect your IP?

VPN + Tor?

If anyone’s got a NWC implementation in Java or Kotlin, we could put it in ZEUS today. nostr:note1hjxlql3qpcd0hjyfyjgpvd3u8wk2d98ryfh08t59a53xqa5hjrcsxju40n

the internet is undefeated. may we protect it and its currency at all costs

You clearly don't know how capital gains work. It's FIFO. You have to match up each sale/spend transaction with a corresponding buy based on the FIFO rules. If you are buying coffee every morning, semding tips around, etc for 365 days It is nearly impossible to comply with. It has to be manually entered in. Also, there are numerous wallets installed. How many sats do you pass around and receive, etc. It all adds up.

#cashu is probably a more based solution because of the privacy benefits.
