Thinking of saving up and getting an android phone so as to have more control over what I can use and do, especially when it comes to nostr and bitcoin. What’s a good phone to consider these days? I still have an old galaxy from around 2016 or so, but am unsure if it’s even any good to use these days. I was letting my kids use it for Pokémon go last year so maybe it’s still okay for nostr and lighting wallets?

😆 I guess they can be seen by someone with the know how, which is why I’d not want someone to send it to me via that channel, and also why I don’t really use them 😅

If you sell a physical product and you facilitate the transaction via Nostr, how do you safely collect the shipping information of the purchaser?

It really depends. These days 1 or less. Back when I was a teen I could practice for 3-5 a day. It became a piece of my identity back then and also there was so much to learn and try and I was competing as well so I had more motivation to stand there forever and learn a new technique. Now that I have kids and we’re homeschooling it can be difficult to get in time to yo-yo or feel any motivation to practice once I do have some free time.

Back in August of 2019 when I still had a wood lathe I made a few of my own yo-yos which I named “Cambium”. I gave it high inner walls so that when I let go of the loop and flipped it around the loop tended to lock itself into place, making it easier to catch again. I’ve long since got rid of the lathe (developed a phobia of losing a finger) but I ended up making a cad model of the Cambium which I uploaded to thingiverse so others could try out the design as well if they had access to a 3d printer. Here’s a few tricks on the original design

I tried to document the processes in text above my reply, but happy to answer anything that missed :) lmk

Thank you! It doesn’t always go this cleanly, sometimes I whack myself with the weight 😂
