Just thoughts out loud.

If you tell me to recommend a desktop wallet for bitcoin, it's clear to me:

Sparrow

If you tell me to recommend a bitcoin wallet for mobile, I have it clear:

Green Wallet

If you tell me to recommend a custodial lightning wallet, it's clear to me:

Blink (like WOS but open source).

If you tell me to recommend a self-custodial Lightning wallet:

Sorry, I'm not clear, I'm not convinced by any of them.

Phoenix is the one that works best, no doubt, but I am totally against applying a 0.4% fee to send through Lightning.

Zeus and Blixt, I like them, but let's be honest, comparing them with phoenix they fail a lot, although zeus has improved a lot using their LSP, even so, it's not even close to the experience I want to recommend a wallet to a friend.

The green lightning wallet looks promising, but it is the one that fails the most.

As for mutiny I don't share their philosophy of being a pwa.

Breez is perhaps the most balanced app but I don't like that the app has functions beyond a lightning wallet.

JUST IN: Jim Cramer says #Bitcoin  is "topping out."

Are you a Bitcoin developer in need of testnet coins? Reply with your testnet address and I'll make you testnet rich!

NOT YELLING. JUST SPEAKING CLEARLY.

ALL CAPS UNTIL NOSTR IS THE STANDARD.

A functional calendar to start. Going to have to figure out a way to get access to all of our family calendars (iCal)

The camera is pretty bad. Took some incredible pictures of my kids with iPhone 15 and they easily synced via iCloud. This isn't the worst thing in the world because it's a good excuse to take out my DSLR and take proper photos.

Maps, and some other things I can't think of right now. But those were the big ones I realized today.

Also found it impossible to completely get off Google services cold turkey. Still using Gmail.

Any NAS recommendations?

SEC employees are not allowed to own bitcoin.

EVERY SEC EMPLOYEE IS EFFECTIVELY SHORT BITCOIN. 😂😂😂

I received my Pixel and it's ...OEM locked! It's also carrier locked. I originally planned on installing #GrapheneOS but I'll just keep the device using Amethyst zaps and some Android only #Bitcoin and #Lightning wallet! The device is super GORGEOUS and the pictures are top notch so I'll give it that. 😌

Is that a question?

In any case, I did 5 years using Pascal more than 20 years ago .. does that make me qualified? .. Coding? 😉

Within the last week or two I have started to use #bitcoin core, an #electrum server and #whirlpool ..

Withinin the last 6 months I have learned how to fully install and partially use #linux ..

And in the last 8 months I have started to use #nostr as my main social media app ..

🤔

.. am I still not classed as a shadowy super coder? What are the requirements? What needs to be on my CV?

For some people it is easier to manage that by having a file on their website, for others it is easier to do that through DNS records, there are no obvious best choices here.

However, for a hosted service like nostrplebs.com or zbd.gg to have a username for each user, it is vastly easier to do it through the well-known URL.

It is also much easier and familiar for client developers to make HTTP calls than to do DNS calls.
