nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s Likely you are currently eating a $750 plate of Sushi somewhere in Hong Kong and this is the wrong time to hassle you with a mundane thing like this.. but maybe someone at your team has an idea about this:

We have a user who is using Rizful NWC with Damus ... and he says: I want to see more transactions in my transactions list. So I am demoing the "list_transactions" call that Damus makes to our relay, and I see this incoming request:

{

"method": "list_transactions",

"params": {

"type": "",

"limit": 10,

"offset": 0,

"unpaid": false

}

}

... This means I think that Damus only wants to see 10 transactions? We actually ignore that and return more, because ten is quite a low number. But.. is this intentional, do you really only want your user to only see the 10 most recent transactions are reported by NWC?

Or am I somehow confused?

thanks

Can you navigate the power that Bitcoin gives you without becoming the system that you escaped?

It is a very niche network, it can't accommodate most people, it's very hard to use and everyone keeps talking about bitcoin. I don't want to use WhatsApp, but if every single one of my family members and friends use it, the price to pay is too high. What does Nostr offer to most people? I've been building for the past 2 years a Nostr client and I just don't see any of my friends or family dedicating the time to learn how to use it, the same goes for bitcoin.

It’s hilarious that there are like 5000 people from all over the world who just use nostr clients and hangout here chatting all day.

We literally don’t care what “experts” say about nost, all of the failure predictions or that we’re largely disconnected from the rest of the internet.

This is our weird little internet hangout spot and we’re truly not fucking leaving 😂

I should dust off that piece I was “writing” about vibe coding - as much as I am super tired of that subject.

someone is always gonna be fasting on nostr

fasting has been a medicine for thousands of years, in all cultures

it's no duh that when you are fasting you are not at normal full capacity but every other part of your body has down time, except the GI tract, and there is many diseases that heal if you just let the gut get some downtime.

many studies have shown also that it extends lifespan.

El ayuno es bueno Nodi también, algo que no te dicen muchos médicos pero se ha comprobado que es bueno

Normalize bitcoin payments.

Bitcoin is becoming the new normal in a matrix we live in.

"How would you like to pay?

- Cash

- Card

- Bitcoin"

BIP177 proposes redefining Bitcoin's base unit by making 1 satoshi = 1 bitcoin.

Currently, 1 bitcoin = 100,000,000 satoshis.

This change aims to simplify transactions and reduce confusion.

Are there still places with vibes anymore? Or did the internet kind of kill it?

I feel like digital spaces have vibes. Nostr has a vibe for sure, but everywhere I go (in America at least) feels flat, steril and homogenous now.

People like to pretend otherwise, romanticizing local charm and it’s fun to do so, but in reality there is no meaningful difference between New York, LA, Chicago, Austin, Miami etc…

The differences feel increasingly superficial. Miami with its neon pink and bad Latin art. New York with its identical minimalist cafes selling identical oat lattes. These aren’t cities anymore, they’re brands. “Keep Austin Weird” feels less like the rallying cry of a bohemian collective and more like a safe corporate brand slogan.

It wasn’t always like this. Cities used to incubate true subcultures that couldn’t thrive anywhere else. Seattle once had grunge music emerging organically from local clubs, distinct in sound and attitude. Detroit was a birthplace for techno and industrial grit that couldn’t have been manufactured. New Orleans had jazz clubs and vibrant local traditions that permeated every street corner authentically. Before the internet collapsed distances, you could sense deep authenticity upon arriving somewhere new. The vibe wasn’t something designed by marketing departments; it was organically woven into the streets, the people, the music, and local myths.

Now, vibes feel engineered and commoditized, reduced to Instagrammable moments and easily replicable aesthetics. I once watched from the balcony of my hotel in Nashville as 200 women waited in line to take the same stupid picture with the same stupid set of angel wings.

Digital spaces, ironically, have become refuges of uniqueness, fostering communities unburdened by geographical homogenization. Platforms like nostr host unique niche communities, from hyper-specific gaming bitcoin cultural milieu to obscure philosophical discussions, that retain genuinely distinctive vibes.

Perhaps we’re now entering a strange inversion, where real-world spaces chase digital popularity, adopting blandness to maximize broad appeal.

In this inversion, digital worlds might become the primary spaces where unique vibes survive, thrive, and multiply—leaving our physical world as little more than a flattened reflection of what used to be.

Nostr is where the vibes are at.

It was brought to my attention that only running your self hosted alby hub when you need to use it is a bad idea, because your lightning channel can get closed on you by your partner.

I then rushed to turn on my machine. Booted up my virtual machine where the alby hub desktop was located. Then as soon as I try to open the app it immediately crashes after a successful password authentication. Tried opening it through the terminal to see of there was any error information and there was none. Just repeated crashes.

I then proceeded to install alby hub desktop onto KDE neon natively outside of a VM thinking maybe it was the virtual machines fault, because it was migrated to a more secure base system. Once I got it to work after jumping through dependency hoops to get it started. My balance vanished and all I had was transaction history.

There is no indication that the channel was closed. No warning that it was going to be closed. When I checked my emails there was notifications to turn it on, but no threats that it will be closed.

So here I am. Working with software that either closed my channel, or lost my funds. No indication of when or what happened. Hoping that some indication of maybe it showing up in the on chain wallet someday, but I am not giving my hopes up.

Went to the live chat support. Waited 2 hours for the first response. Then another hour for them to respond to my answers. Only to get told that I am too advanced of a Linux user for using alby hub in a virtual machine. Followed by that they can't be expected to support everything.

They then gave me a copy pasta how to recover your account article, which is not what I needed, nor asked help for. Their very smug reply that made me feel like oh well you are up shits creek. Good the fuck luck getting your bitcoin back.

It was not a shit ton of bitcoin, but it was all of my earnings for wisdom, sweat, and memes on Nostr for several months. It hurts to not go with your gut and not use a piexe of software. Only to then lose everything you earned while getting a condescending virtual slap in the face from your support team.

So with this type of sub par shitty experience what would you expect me to say about self hosted alby hub?

#alby

that explains why the Alby stuff ain't working. I guess my self hosting of Alby is an illusion.

Ok. Clear about coinos custodial and Alby non custodial.

I created an Alby account yesterday

and get a custom name address (with archjourney). I didn't want a subscription.

Usually i am Nostr from mobile.

So after I created my alby account I had to link an nwc wallet there (and I couldn't find an nwc string in the alby dashboard and settings).

If I understood correct there are three Alby things.

Alby Hub

Alby extension and

AlbyGo.

And you must subscribe for an nwc Alby

OR I must link there another nwc.

Right??🙄

I created today an #Alby Hub account.

I thought I would have after this a working LN wallet which I can connect it to #amethyst (and change the #WoS which I had until today)

But in Alby I needed to connect an nwc wallet first.

Tried to link WoS 😁 Didn't work.

Tried to link #Phoenix 😁 didn't work.

Installed also #AlbyGo.

Before this I had to install #zapstore 😂

Thought that I could find in AlbyGo a connection string (Nostr+wallet connect) which I could connect to AlbyHub... I was wrong 😁

So I created a #coinos account.

And linked coinos to Alby.

But now I have an Alby account linked with a coinos wallet.

I could use just the coinos address in amethyst, right?? What Alby helps here??

And how I secure my #sats in coinos?

I couldn't find a backup seed phrase there 🙄

non technical #pleb here 😁

exploring the crazy #nostr universe...😜

The people born between 1975 and 1995 are the most special generation of all time, and here's why:

They were born between two generations: one before the internet and before technology took control, and the following generation.

The generation before 1985 was old-school and believed in hard, consistent work, while the next generation believes in smart work.

This generation has seen it all: radio, television, Mario Bros, Nokia, cassettes, VHS, DVDs, Nintendo, PS4, video stores, Netflix, Snapchat, and virtual reality.

This is the generation that knows tradition and questions and judges based on reasoning. The previous generation didn’t ask questions, and the next one doesn’t know tradition.

The bridge between the industrial era and the internet age, they understand both sides based on experience. This generation should be leading everything. The older generation doesn’t understand what’s happening now, and the next generation doesn’t know where what they have comes from.

I never saw a notification that the nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm wallet was changing

Having a frustrating time getting my SATS back

Have tried to send with lightning invoice to suggested apps

But nothing doing the trick

Kicking off ZEUS Christmas early, here on Nostr.

We're giving away TWO FREE LIGHTNING CHANNELS from our LSP to kick start your self-custodial Lightning journey. These channels can be redeemed with ZEUS, Alby Hub, or any self-custodial Lightning wallet that allows you to open up your own channels.

To enter, follow us, repost/share this note, and reply with both your current Lightning set-up and the best thing you've purchased using Lightning.

Two lucky winners will be chosen in 24 hours.

Man, all of this Alby hate is so weird to me. Nobody wants to run their own node, because it's apparently too hard. So Alby runs one for two years, gives away wallets for free, then builds all of these tools FOR FREE that simplify running your own node. Then they say they're not going to run nodes anymore, but here's all these free tools you can use to do it yourself, and everyone shits on them and calls them rug pullers for not giving away even more of their time, talent, and treasure.

How much code have you contributed to them?

How many sats have any of you people bitching about them moving away from holding your keys ever given them?

They provided you two years of value, how much have you provided back?

v4v is a voluntary exchange, and either party can choose to change the value they provide at any time. Nobody owes you anything, least of all Alby who have been nothing but generous to all of us.
