Ok found it. Looks like it is Android only though. Need iOS or desktop web for this one.

Where is the place to add to a bounty to get nsecbunker/NIP46 support for the popular clients like nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 Amethyst, etc?

Having problems testing out nostr:npub1uf9gd9pax7534dy96mu603nqjlp9mht8az73ka0dy54rcfnvlxasumv8xc and we have so few clients to test with. Couldn’t get Coracle or Nostrudel to work, coracle just spent forever adding relays and then failed, while NoStrudel just gave a spin wheel and never requested permission.

Who is running https://cascdr.vercel.app/?

I have my alby wallet extension active and running with multiple nostr clients tied to it (easy single click for all of them) and I couldn't test anything on the website because it would only let me "log in with Alby username and password" which i went through 3 clicks and windows only to find i had to break out my keepass and go hunting for the alby password and user to actually use this. I didn't seem to be able to either pay directly (like sats4ai.com) or just connect to my extension - both of which would've gotten me my test so i could decide whether to commit more to the application.

Sorry but I'm at a point where if its using lightning & nostr but I still have to go through some login process with usernames and passwords to access it, it feels like using nostr makes no sense, because thats the major benefit, imo. I don't have my password manager on this browser for a reason - this is my nostr only browser.

Hope whoever is working on this project sees this, because I'd have been using your product today had it not been for this. And call me lazy or whatever, I just get so annoyed when i have to go through some obnoxious login process that 90% of the time I just close the tab now.

Also nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm if there is an easy way to use NWC with your wallet, I wasn't able to find it in a scour through all of the main tabs in the settings. If this is going to be more prevalent and a significant option for connecting to services, then it would be huge if I had some simple drop down or connection button that gave me the necessary string to make those connections.

I just know that if it's a roadblock for me, 99% of users aren't going to deal with it. I know there's massive promise for NWC but its not well integrated into the UX and it definitely could be.

The only major change in my perspective since I realized the shitcoins were all just a giant sham, has been that I no longer feel this urgent need to stop everyone else from doing dumb shit.

I used to feel this sense of obligation, that somehow I was supposed to fix everyone’s stupid. Then I realized what a fucking absurd notion that was. Not only is that battle literally infinite, but going in like you are going to “fix it” doesn’t even seem to work as a strategy.

Now I just look, shrug, tell them my point of view and why I don’t play stupid games, and then I go about my merry way. Not only is it 100x easier and less stressful, it also seems to work better. nostr:note170wkmwnuefxw3hx378n2yr3wzvtvqr2hexukwgcjqw8cv4ragdpqc242d9

100%. Almost ALL of the "elegant life" is really about chasing status, and people constantly confuse status for happiness. It is not and will not make you happy. To the contrary it will make you feel empty and all you will want is to chase higher status.

the real things in life are far simpler, and having a solid grounding, a family, doing what you love, and securing your life against the storms of the world will give you more happiness and fulfillment than anything else I know of.

Chasing clout is not only shallow, but all the people who spend their lives chasing it are shallow too. Don't spend your life with them, and don't try to be them.

Yeah it would have to be pruned by default, but I bet they would have a full node option. Which aside from the storage cost would still be really cool to have a working reference implementation for a mobile centric full node

Everyone is misunderstanding. I’m talking about the meme creator 😆

And I did think it was funny, btw. I was just musing on the fact that it was hard to tell unless you really went looking. And my 2 second assumption told me it was a real image.

I read the post now and it kinda sounds serious, but I was legit just brain farting a thought about how good fake stuff is now. 😆

100% power is internal. This is the danger of the victim culture. It’s training people to be weak, and to value being even weaker, and then to hate the world for being stronger than them. Learned weakness to become a crumpled, useless mess whenever someone challenges you or says something “bad,” is literally a force of destruction and hate.

The #Bitcoin bull market hasn't even started yet.

Keet wont be until it’s out of Beta, but the entire protocol stack and Pear runtime is released and open source.

Very much so. Maf was working on BitTorrent and basically moved straight into this architecture from there, it just required tons of modular units because it is a full replacement for like 3 or 4 other major protocols of the internet stack.

The massive benefit of the pear model is the ability to distribute a file or application to millions of people with ZERO infrastructure cost.

What’s the biggest issue with relays and making a global network with #Nostr? Monetization. Even right now the costs of having a popular relay are very significant. This means that the network can’t “passively” exist at scale, and it’s a huge centralization pressure because nobody will donate $5,000 per month to keep relays running just to help the network.

In the Holepunch alternative, this cost is essentially nonexistent. Every individual feed will act like a live torrent and you simply download from all of the other followers, and they can selectively store old content as they wish and it’s automatically available from those who do.

The more people who join/follow/chat/etc, the faster and more responsive and less costly all of it becomes. Whereas in the relay model, the bigger it gets the more expensive it is and the worse the experience is without aggressive scaling, which means they need money.

In short, the client/server model is a major reason why the internet centralized around platforms. The Holepunch protocol fixes the client/server barrier.

Everything that’s real food can go bad really fast… but I’ll accept the milk maid option.

That’s just a horrible orientation. If someone’s goal is to force some imagined society onto someone else that isn’t even relevant to them, and they think that this will somehow make them successful and happy, then they simply have a mental illness.

Believing that you can accomplish something is a prerequisite to actually making it a reality.

In other words, if you believe everything you want is something you can’t get, you are right 100% of the time.

If you believe you can achieve all the things that you want, and go for them with all you’ve got, you may end up wrong with a lot of it, but when you get it right, you can do absolutely incredible things. nostr:note1jy805mfxjgdy97jl8uwgmmqtwwh0jy3usmmetv326wlfql6ye7askng3j4

I’m sorry you are so bothered by this. I don’t know who shit in your cornflakes but hopefully you have a better day tomorrow.

The monetization model of the *entire* financial and money markets of the world is based on middle men.

We are disrupting middle men in money & finance with #Bitcoin, and the platform and network middle men with @Pears_p2p and #nostr

I don't think people are properly accounting for how much is going to change this decade.

There’s two projects that I am aware of from private conversations and they are both taking a different approach. I don’t want to share things that they don’t want to be public, but all I can say is that they are being built around two very prominent projects that don’t seem like they have much to do with mining pools. However, I suspect/hope both projects will actually be public by the end of the year.

Happy Valentine’s & Pears Day!! ❤️🍐

🤣🤣 would you say, there is a second best?

The real issue is more fundamental, the loaned money is indistinguishable from the “real” money. There is no way to root out leverage because it’s systemic to the money itself. If a bank creates a loan and then deposits from thin air, it’s fundamentally impossible to price it separately according to its counter party risk. Bitcoin fixes this

Jeff Vandrews had a company around getting this setup. I just remember talking about it with him at length a couple years ago

On Meetup•com you can’t make an “unvaccinated” meetup group because they claim it’s “hate speech.”
