I had posted this last year voicing concern and was widely ridiculed for 'not understanding bitcoin'

i dont think im there yet in my fucking around hahah. i could also see a reasonable reason for this being how it is set up ... perhaps
amethyst, oxchat, coracle all seem to play quite well with nip42. freerse did not. have you tried any ios apps like damus or nos.social with attempting to just try and converse within your nip42 relay?
also, seems like nip 42 auth does not apply to notes the relay received when the user was not authorized. so if i am inviting friends to a nip 42 private relay, they dont get to see the previous conversations. would be nice if there were functionality to grant them auth to the relays past notes akin to joining a telegram group.
You can filter by kinds and see what DMs were written but nostr:npub10npj3gydmv40m70ehemmal6vsdyfl7tewgvz043g54p0x23y0s8qzztl5h would know
i think i figured it out, related to this setting

im testing out nip 42 read auth on relay.tools
in my testing, it appears one can still write DMs to an npub using the relay even if they are not an authorized npub on the relay settings. the read/write auth does seem to work in terms of normal notes published to the relay.
anyone else experience the same?

this was an amazing commercial, thanks for sharing brings me back
glad ur here friend 🫡
Ah, like what nostr:npub1vp8fdcyejd4pqjyrjk9sgz68vuhq7pyvnzk8j0ehlljvwgp8n6eqsrnpsw was saying about paying out-of-band
I guess I pictured it like doing RBF or CPFP “through” a wallet run by mempool or something, in cases when the user’s wallet doesn’t offer those tools
But are you saying there are some transactions that literally can’t be sped up in those ways? I think I remember nostr:npub1r8l06leee9kjlam0slmky7h8j9zme9ca32erypgqtyu6t2gnhshs3jx5dk mentioning something like this in his ad-read for Mempool. I assumed he meant that a Lightning node couldn’t initiate the RBF, rather than the transaction itself not being eligible.
Interesting. So much to learn 😁🫡
ya there is wallets that still cant rbf, or instances when there isnt an option to rbf or cpfp. if youve ever been in a situation where you needed to speed up a transaction out of band and tried to use the existing methods...this is extremely cheao and acway easier to use service in comparison.
my first npub was late 2021 i believe.
TIL Gupax is not really maintained anymore but there's Gupaxx (a fork) which is, that includes the XMRvsBeast hashrate raffle and will (hopefully) embed a local node for maximum cypherpunk mode. #monero #mining https://github.com/Cyrix126/gupaxx
appreciate the info!
starting a new podcast, id guess prolly to drop the word bitcoin and try for larger audience
hell ya. ocean with lightning receiving is 🤌
Fountain 1.1 with #nostr is now live on iOS and Android!
Why Nostr?
We regularly hear from both listeners and podcasters that the social features in Fountain are a great way to discover content that's worth listening to.
When you support a podcast, or comment on an episode, your message is surfaced to your followers in the Fountain home feed and anyone that sees these can add the content to their library.
But this came with a few problems. When you first start using Fountain you wouldn't have any followers so your posts wouldn't get seen. If you wanted to share something you were listening to, you had to choose between leaving a comment on Fountain, or sharing on another social platform.
Today we are excited to announce a massive update to Fountain that solves these problems with Nostr:
- You can bring your existing profile and followers to Fountain
- Your boosts and comments will be surfaced in other Nostr clients
- Posts shared from other Nostr clients relating to audio will appear in your feed
- Conversation and interactions now flow freely across multiple apps

can i listen to stuff offline yet?
the idiocracy event horizon has been passed
