Really unfortunate they don't make it easier for the average user to get local copy of the firmware - Can be done via the CLI method, which is mainly cloning the repo.
They say:
"Note: When using the command line method, technical users will have the option to save a local copy of the firmware version, which they can verify against the source code and upgrade using the file they have reviewed for authenticity."
My reasoning for suggesting it:
My thinking is, something could happen down the line in development that makes your wallet incompatible with your seed for whatever reason, so you'd want to rely the least possible amount on the software being publicly available and functioning as it is right now in the future. So you'd want to basically take a "snapshot" of what you have which is working right now.
Just realised it's uploading the firmware, so can assume you've got the firmware file (unless it's done via an app).
Some advice:
Before transferring any large amount of #bitcoin make sure you test the wallet.
Make sure to also note down the firmware version, and see if you can track down the file for that firmware version to keep safe.
Send a small amount, wipe the device, and restore it. Do this a couple times to be safe. Once you're happy you can reproduce the restoring successfully, then you can use it.
Personally, I'd go as far as wiping the device and re-flashing the firmware also.
Enjoy!
> Have you tried sending large amount with
#lightning?
Yes - Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, mostly large amounts don't work because many channels may not have thay liquidity. If I want to send large amounts of Bitcoin, I'll do so using the base layer for the time being or connect to a channel with enough liquidity.
I'm really unsure what you're trying to show here, that it's not ready for a switch to be flipped that turns all worldwide fiat transactions to lightning? No one suggested as much.
> I’m sure you understand this but when using lightning the security assumptions and decentralization is mostly those of the lightning network not the
#Bitcoin network. As you probably know, lightning isn’t very decentralized. Also, lightning total transactions volume is a small share of those occurring on the base layer or with wrapped
#BTC. So again, it’s not proven that lightning can scale Bitcoin transactions.
Lightning, isn't sufficiently scaled - No where did I ascertain it was, or that it was proven to be.
Anything built FOR Bitcoin benefits off of Bitcoin's network effect, be it directly or indirectly.
When I stated I want my data on the longest running blockchain, I'm not saying lightning runs on the base layer as much as lightning functionality requires it. When a lightning channel opens, a base-layer transaction on the Bitcoin timechain is broadcast and verified - That's the crux here.
> Isn’t the exactly what #BIP300 and #drivechains will prevent us to do? What you say here seems in contradiction with your opposition to the concept of #drivechain.
Unsure what you're saying here or how it related. I was talking about the myriad of other blockchains, not the Bitcoin timechain. We leave that one the fuck alone, because it works well as is for the one purpose it has.
Privacy on phones is a gauge whose end is a purely subjective good-enough based on present knowledge - If you grow in the field, the gauge keeps growing..
Switch to an open-source privacy-focused OS.
Then ditch any big-tech eco-system, ditch most apps, find open-source alternatives, and self-host whatever you can, whatever needs to be self-hosted.
Put as much of your inbound and outbound data under your own control.
Maybe there should be a WIP (World Improvement Proposal) for this.
Here's a thought:
According to #reddit some of the most engaged-with posts, are #controversial topics.
If we head over to #satelliteearth and/or #Zapddit and create a bunch of controversial topics across multiple communities, will it help liven things up and get things rolling in some of those less active communities..? 🤔
#grownostr #discussion
Immich's Developers has specifically stated they're not interested in supporting audio recordings, which is really unfortunate (I didn't think I'd want this either until a few weeks ago when I heard my unborn baby's heartbeat for the first time).
I've been looking at Photoprism and it seems really close to what I want, but unsure - I think it'll be a case of pulling the trigger and giving it a go by quickly spinning up a container for it.
Regarding Moments, don't think I've heard of it, but from a quick search it may have been discontinued? Either way, I think the next step is to just experiment with something and see what fits.
Appreciate the input!
0xchat implementing group VoiP.
Also RoboSats integration into some apps maybe, could work.
Potentially, and I'm unsure whether this already exists, a single place where I can manage any and all types of subscriptions/donations for nostr projects I use, or people I follow.
Also, 0xchat really needs to implement group VoiP.
I totally get this.
Most of nostr's apps that we see as "all these cool things coming together" are very much in an experimentation stage - We all hunger for something more mature, to be daily-driven by the average user, which we can sell to anyone else, and especially given its nostr, to have tighter integration within itself.
A likely stupid but worth-considering example - What stops me from being on 0xchat and receiving a notification that a user I follow is about to stream on zap.stream - We can argue all we want about whether we'd want this, but I think it's the potential for integration that nostr has - One eco-system, one protocol, a myriad of inter-connected experiences.
I think we can all see the end-game, and it's just about within reach - Except it's not.
While it has improvements to be made in terms of liquidity availability, routing etc, I think the only people who don't think so are the ones who do not use it on a day-to-day basis.
I bought my phone thanks to lightning, and use lightning every day. I haven't had a failed route in about a year and have seen adoption for it grow.
Slowly, yes, but also surely. Best it be slow, lest it pressure development - This gives us time to build in a healthy manner, with proper discussion towards healthy consensus.
The way I see it, we build native solutions to native problems. We're not going to take another blockchain that made immediate trade-offs for immediate solutions.
At the end of the day though, Time Running == Level of Security & Decentralisation.
I want my transactions, be they money or others forms of data, to be recorded on the longest-running, most secure and decentralised network because it is the most resilient to attacks.
Any other coin may have smart-contracts, for instance for notarisation - I don't want any other blockchain to be my source of truth for the house I've bought, but I also realise perhaps my one notarisation doesn't necessarily need to be stamped by itself on the Bitcoin blockchain. Perhaps it's bulk process.
I want it to be the longest running one, because in this specific case 'first to market' meant the 'happy-accident' that was its proliferation, none can compete with that.
We don't need multiple blockchains to solve a problem. We need developers that understand Bitcoin's base-layer scalability problems are a mere by-product for it being the most secure global monetary system, and that are clever enough to work with that. Up until ~2015, most didn't think that was possible for the problem Lightning solves, and yet it did - Improvements to be made aside.
Every day #BIP300 is seeming more and more like a trojan horse against #Bitcoin, and a last-ditch effort from #shitcoins to remain relevant - They're feeling the pressure of their own impending doom.
Over the years, for everything shitcoins claimed to do better at a base layer, we've had things built ON TOP OF Bitcoin's base-layer timechain - Not in it, and not beside/against it like leeches.
It's been done with #Lightning, it can be done again, for any other feature one might think is missing - Will it have to be developed form scratch? Possibly. But if it's such a necessary, killer feature, surely it'll gain momentum and users will opt-in in no time.

I'm using Lineage's stock Android keyboard and have been for years, so I'm thinking their minimalist keep-most-things-as-stock-as-possible might be the culprit here.
Usually the app itself has the extra options rather than the keyboard to keep the typing experience as smooth as possible, but I guess that's been changing.
Thanks - I thought this might be the case, weird that my stock keyboard doesn't have such options. Guess I'll need to look for another one.
Thanks again.
I may be misunderstanding, but those are reactions.
I mean emojis whilst posting.
@Vitor Pamplona
Having trouble figuring this out.
How do/Can you type emojis on
#Amethyst for Android?
I see it supports custom emoji lists etc, but unsure how to configure this, and whether it's what I'm looking for.. 🤔
Looking through Issues on github, nothing showed up either, so I'm thinking I'm just being blind and missing something very obvious (including perhaps no support?).
