My main beef with nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm #NWC is what I perceive to be fragility. Every time I connect my node, I end up having to reconnect it a day or two later because I think the connection is broken.

But I’m realizing that this might only be partially true.

Say I zap someone via NWC. The zap shows up as pending. Sometimes the zap goes through, but sometimes it doesn’t. I only find out about this by refreshing several times. I don’t see a payment from my node, the zap didn’t work… what gives? NWC must be broken.

But as I’ve been using good old fashioned manual zaps I’ve realized it might not be a problem with NWC! Sometimes when I go to zap someone, my nostr client is unable to get an invoice. This could point to an issue with the node that I’m trying to zap. The zap via NWC might just be failing silently because of that.

I just wish there was a way to get that feedback from NWC. Like, “hey your zap failed because we couldn’t get an invoice, go try that again.” #wishlist

I mean sure that’s an expected generic jab at “corporate media” or whatever but I’ve personally witnessed people in MAGA hats flying nazi flags the same way I’ve personally witnessed a bunch of yokels in Cooperstown NY flying confederate flags. It happens and it’s stupid.

Always gets a chuckle out of me when I see people flying a trump flag next to a nazi flag. You know, the flag of the guys that tried to kill us in recent history.

Makes about as much sense as people in the northern US flying confederate flags… which I have also seen.

This is dumb.

Makes sense, thank you kitty cat

Creed was one of those interesting bands that people really hated (myself included) but in hindsight didn’t suck that badly. I own it.

In some diametrically opposed manner, I would wager.

Oh hey it’s you again! Did the stupendous befall a hidden moratorium this time or what?

Sir, when New York?! I’m sure Bitlicense is a massive pain in the ass but are you working on getting approval to operate in NY? What is the process like?

Thanks for that. So what I take from this is that there is no privacy benefit to Cashu in the case where I run my own mint, am the only user of that mint, and “cash out” some of my tokens to pay a LN invoice. Because at the end of the day it’s still a lightning transaction from my node where my funds were not commingled with others?

I mean as long as my mechanic accepts bitcoin…oh never mind

😂 😂 😂 that was impressively fast

So I’m curious, what kinds of stuff are you using ecash for? Is it your main funding source for zaps? What else? And what mint are you using?

Oh and sorry for the profane message on the token. Didn’t expect it to be grabbed by a human 😂

Always a pleasure to have my nuts grabbed by an Argentine 🤝

lol wow yes. the bot instantly grabs my nuts. quite impressive tbh.

Been a while since I used Cashu. Is the nutgrabber still a thing on nostr? Let’s see:

I’m sorry you feel that way, I really am, but I am prepared to die on this hill

This might be a hot take for an American but it’s fall and that means it’s pumpkin spice season again.

Pumpkin spice flavoring turns whatever you put it in into a waste of that thing.

Im done with it.
