Here’s what I think is coming:

1) force all US wallets to be registered under FBAR. Don’t worry, they’ll make it easy to do. Just hand over your tax ID and xpub.

2) release an API to check if a wallet address is registered

3) force exchanges to block all withdrawals to unregistered wallets; force software wallets to block all transfers from registered wallets to unregistered wallets; force businesses to block receipt of payments from unregistered wallets.

3) create a penalty, seizure and / or jail, for having control an unregistered wallet. If your unregistered bitcoin is transferred to a regulated entity, poof it’s gone.

Of course this won’t stop bitcoin. It’s just going to make life for Americans hell unless a few States stand up and push back. Also, countries will compete for bitcoiners so there will be places to go.

if you do not have a lightning address attached to your nostr account you are missing out on some sweet scarce sats

Build 8 removes zap initiation from posts but restores note zap information from other clients. Submitted this to the app store.

On a more positive note, its my son's 7th birthday today and we’re surprising him with a trip to Disneyland Paris! Not going to let apple ruin my day if Damus isn’t accepted and it is removed. I did my best.

Any GrapheneOS users who use Projectfi for their cell service?

Had another call and they’re making me remove the zap button from the post now

My phone doesn't get hot whatsoever

The more i read this apple guideline the more I realize it can be used to remove any bitcoin or p2p payment app at any time:

“Apps may enable individual users to give a monetary gift to another individual without using in-app purchase, provided that (a) the gift is a completely optional choice by the giver, and (b) 100% of the funds go to the receiver of the gift. However, a gift that is connected to or associated at any point in time with receiving digital content or services must use in-app purchase.”

Specifically:

“a gift that is *connected to or associated at any point in time* with receiving digital content or services must use in-app purchase”

This means when users start saying “zap me with your email to receive my art”. Then this would give apple an excuse remove Damus at any time, even with only profile zaps. This is true of every p2p payment app as well from what I can tell.

Not to mention: “100% of the funds go to the receiver of the gift”. So what about miner fees? Apple could argue miner tx fees on bitcoin txs violate their guidelines. This also means damus splits + support star are very much not allowed and they won’t be pushed to the app store 🥲

Overall everything is very vague which gives apple the ability to remove your app for any reason. Fun

LinkedIn has western commies taking selfies smiling ear to ear and the post is about getting laid off and begging for a new job 😂 their delusional vanity has no end
