Just checked… No KYC, but they want name, email, dob and country. That’s more than most other lightning wallets ask for. Any idea why they need that info?

I’ve tried so many wallets, but the one that’s been the smoothest has been Wallet of Satoshi. It is custodial, however I believe a non-custodial version is coming.

Thank you for the zap 🧔

Rumour has it book.io/stuff.io will be adding Ordinals to the list of chains they mint/publish content on.

Looking forward to hopefully seeing nostr:npub13qrrw2h4z52m7jh0spefrwtysl4psfkfv6j4j672se5hkhvtyw7qu0almy mint ordinals via stuff.io next.

I feel Apple Watch is probably a strong contender. I asked grok the question, and the response was

ā€œApple Watch: Apple emphasizes transparency and user control, with data stored locally on the device or iPhone and encrypted during transmission. Their privacy policy limits data sharing with third parties, and users can manage data-sharing permissions easily through the Apple Health app. Apple doesn’t sell personal data, though it may use anonymized location data for geographically relevant ads. Note that deleting specific data categories is not possible—it’s an all-or-nothing approach.ā€

As the other commenter mentioned, zaps can be sent and received via a lightning wallet. I use Wallet of Satoshi for this as I’ve found it to work the easiest without requiring kyc.

It is custodial, but I only have small amount in it. I believe they are working on non-custodial too.

Ledger devices haven’t been compromised, so that kind of speaks for itself.

Ledger had some customer data compromised a few years ago, but it didn’t affect their devices, which have been rock solid, imvho.

I was using Zeus for zaps, and they said to add another mint. So I added a second, and then, minibits started working again. May have been coincidence too.

Of those two I preferred Surfshark, but I switched to Proton a long while back

The ceasefire announcement was to allow for ā€œwinding downā€, and was to start some hours after the announcement, so not sure (at this stage) if this is actually breaking the ceasefire

There are services that suggest they can delete your data. Personally, I wouldn’t trust them based on my experiences over the years, such as deleting a Facebook years and years ago, recreating it a little while later and still seeing data in the profile that was meant to be deleted. I’ve also caught a company changing my email address after I asked them to delete my data. And only because I had a .com and .com.au version of my email address, I caught them out when I got emails to the non .au domain.

Personally, I think once it’s online, it’s digitally recorded permanently. Somewhere.

I guess it depends on your environment. No risk of people with metal detectors in my location, but valid point. A book in my house would be more risky. Or if you use the washers on a bolt trick, and put it through a beam under the house (if you have access), other nails and bolts would mask it. Each situation is different, use whichever is better for your property.

I’d publish on-chain, using https://book.io, and then use socials and website to gain traction.

One of the advantages of this is that you can send copies of your book to people, without risking the copying of pdfs or epub files

Oh, and for proton, you don’t need any identifying data to sign up. Just an email address to get a verification, but you can use your Gmail, and then remove it from the account.
