"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." H. L. Mencken, 1921

I like it better than Primal now

Disclaimer: I have no idea what I'm talking about.

But my guts tell me that nostr can become THE global payments network.

On chain is for savings. And ecash over nostr is for spending. Npubs could be stores/stalls for small businesses, rather than a twitter like profile it could be a storefront.

Yes, receive address based on npub is mandatory next step for nostr, IMO.

I don't know if this means that nostr relays must become mints but that would seem reasonable.

No, umbrelos can run on many other systems as well but it can also run on a raspberry pi. For a 24/7 bitcoin node best to get a raspberry pi with 2tb external hard drive, set it up, plug directly into router. You access it via your browser on PC on same network or via Tor from anywhere.

Yeah I'd also recommend some small dedicated machine that you can leave on 24/7 to do this. There are several of these like umbrel, start9, etc.

You can purchase them, or more fun to build yourself! But yeah, it inevitability gets a bit techy and you will probably expand your IT knowledge in the process. Though umbrel makes it super easy. Step by step instructions here. πŸ€“

Yeah no doubt. So much talent in the software space here in this community tho. Would be super cool to have Foss ICs.

Is there no way for true #plebsilicon ? Foss hardware... ICs made on some gargantuan scale (much courser than the nanometer processes of modern chips) that is accessible to hardcore nerds? I would think with all the 3d printers and home CNC we might be able to have some diy solutions to signers or even an basic seed signer.
