How do you quote in Amethyst?

lnurl just requires a webserver that can communicate with the LN node to generate invoices on-demand.

Can't that in theory be done with a nostr client daemon that listens to certain events from a set of relays and replies with invoices?

My point is: can't we have an entirely DNS-free lnurl spec alternative that only uses nostr? We can call it lnostr or something.

Even better, allow the poll creator to set the Sat amount 🍻

Does Bolt12 even really solve the privacy issue? It solves the 'need to create an invoice, or need post a node ID with keysend enabled, or setup a lnurl contraption issue'

Well, that's the other core issue -- LN's receive privacy is broken AF right now due to this and people should actually be wary of publicly linking their node.

Wish that wasn't the case but until Bolt12 etc. it's problematic.

Not going to cave to this trend of jumping on things like Zaps early and sacrificing custody of my Lightning sats for it.

Let's move a little more slowly and push for non-custodial wallet and Lightning Address support to be added more broadly and do this right from the start.

We have a chance to build something immensely powerful, self-sovereign, and decentralized with Nostr + Lightning.

I'm old school I don't filter my feed by relay I just follow the right people and my homepage is people I follow.

Maybe I should set up a relay that only people I follow are allowed to post to it 😅

Nostr enables something that no social network has ever supported: the ability to put yourself in someone else's shoes.

Want to see exactly what someone else's feed looks like? Just set up a read-only account with their pubkey.

If this functionality is sufficiently interesting, nostr clients could add a "view feed as..." feature that could be as simple as a button on a user's profile screen.

One relay that connects you to 100 relays. I'm building one.

I am writing a public article that is partially about Nostr.

What are some easy-to-miss Nostr details that would be worth mentioning? Audience will be a mix of bitcoiners and general macro/investing audience. Mostly I sm writing for the latter- people who may not have heard about it yet.

I already included a Nostr section in my latest private research report, and included a slide about Nostr in a guest lecture at Princeton last week. I am spinning up my research on it over time, with public articles and broader reach being the next phase.

What's your ideal book length for a non-fiction subject?

Obviously a book should be "as long as it needs to be" but from a practical standpoint, what do you tend to prefer?

Tried amethyst, then when I opened Damus I was no longer following anyone, doesn’t look like I dropped any relays, now manually re-following people

What's your view on inscriptions?

Upgrading my relay to the latest version to hopefully improve the performance a bit, relay will be down for a couple of minutes.
