Agree - this is iris doing that? Was very annoying and not quite sure why it’s necessary other than to force a client use

Hello nostriches fellows~!!!!

I have been in china recently and busy with catching up friends and families so im kind of quiet here recently.

I am very happy to share with you guys that we had a small nostr meetup in #shanghai For "some" reason, we wanted to keep it anonymous and private here so we only get a "proof of footster". I feel so blessed catching up with like-minded people. Here is some some interesting topic we talked about;

why nostr?

"It provides mentally comfortness because I know there is no centralized entity recording my behaviour during the registrication and using experience. I know there are bugs, some UX design problem. But nothing can compare with the safety provided by nostr."

"I dont care how convenient it is, and im surprised how convient it is when switching different app"

what kind of topic will interest you about nostr asia?

"Im not a developer, my girlfriend is having its own online shops and everything is on WeChat. I think it is not a secure way. So i hope there will be a panel about how nostr can power small business, in a non-dev way"

Orange pilling in china

"During my work on orange pilling, I found there are many popular material that is not in Chinese. I am okay with it but when i try to convenice my family, I hope there are more materials in mother language. We need to make them feel interested first then dive into the security model details about bitcoin"

"At the beginning it is my database of recording my study journey of bitcoin but then i realize i need more people know it."

nostr community

"healthy, friendly, making me willing to share and join the discussion"

All above coming from different persons I am talking to. Feel free to comment below if you are ok letting people know who you are ~ lets keep building and keep being weird :)

Hope I can join next time!

First small homework reward sent out. Will send out more later. Too bad we don’t have a trusted identity provider to guard against Sybil attacks :) the price we must pay to be early… great time at HKU - had fun!

Make sure you add a wallet of satoshi address to your Nostr profile - such as “qualityowner16@walletofsatoshi.com” so I can send reward :)

Teaching a class on Decentralized Identity at Hong Kong University this morning. We will learn about Nostr and Polygon ID.

Take a unique photo of me in class, create a Nostr profile with a (Wallet of Satoshi) bitcoin lightning wallet, reply to this post or message it to me, and I (and maybe even others…) will pay you to complete your homework with a zap.

Lodge skillet on Amazon. I brought two of them to China. Highly recommend.

Have a good weekend.

The last time I was there, my health code turned red because it thought I crossed into Russia. Good times… beautiful place!

You can either withdraw Bitcoin from a lightning capable exchange like Binance or River. Or you can send Bitcoin on change to the receiving address… but there is a fee in WoS

I tried the Maotai Baijiu Luckin coffee today. I have to say - it’s actually pretty good. An Irish coffee with Chinese characteristics 😂

It must be insanely hard for a brand like Maotai to take a risk in doing this. Kudos for whoever pulled it off - and executed it this incredibly well.
