This is before even downloading. The APK hash listed in zapstore don't match the APK hash given in the release notes.

When I download the APK from github, I am able to confirm the hash matches the release notes, but I don't understand why Zapstore would show a different APK hash 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, I can receive zaps but not send. I am using NWC, and it seems to crash when the payment request is made.

For context, I am on a degoogled device, so maybe one of the recent changes relies on googleplay services, which don't exist on my phone? 🤷‍♂️

Ugh, I just tried to upload a screen capture of my issue, but the app crashes in the final step of the media upload 😭

Oh trust me, I'm no IPFS maxi. But yeah, it's commonly mistaken for a storage service, so people often publish files without actual actually making sure it's stored (aka pinned) on a server somewhere. As a result their files disappear from the cache and fail to load.

There are lots of examples of IPFS working great when used correctly (i.e. making sure the content is pinned somewhere). Which is where Blossom + IPFS might be interesting... Blossom media servers could pin the files and IPFS could distribute those files very efficiently.

In fact, since IPFS would take nearly 100% of the bandwidth burden, the Blossom servers could be any low cost devices self hosted at home by enthusiasts without worrying about getting DOS'd when their meme goes viral.

When I say distribution, I mean in the sense of a CDN which acts like a caching layer to quickly replicate a file all around the world to distribute the load away from the primary storage server(s); which is what IPFS is. IPFS doesn't do storage it does caching and makes distribution much more efficient.

Don't get me wrong, Blossom looks great, but afaict it's just a content addressing protocol for retrieval from storage servers.

In fact, as I write this, I'm wondering if Blossom could be used in conjunction with IPFS to get the best of both worlds. Blossom media servers would become a lot cheaper to operate if there was a caching layer in front.... Damnit I don't have time for more projects 😆

Anyone know why the APK hash for Cake Wallet shown in #zapstore doesn't match the hash published on github? nostr:nprofile1qqs8y6s7ycwvv36xwn5zsh3e2xemkyumaxnh85dv7jwus6xmscdpcygprpmhxue69uhkv6tvw3jhytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0ekucf3

I'm new to Blossom, but it seems Blossom is intended for file storage, but IPFS is intended for file distribution. It seems they solve different problems. What am I missing?

Lol, so you dodged the main point and decided to argue everything else. Anyone can see for themselves that it would be more private to not have an LSP in the first place, rather than hope that Bolt11 has confused their LSP sufficiently.

I don't think you're actually willing to accept new information here, so no point in arguing. I'm out. Cheers mate 🍻

Do I need an email? Would prefer to just use #nostr ID
