I want to do Nostr correctly. Non custodial, distributed relays, max reach, able to send and receive sats … what stack do I need ? macOS/iPhone. What’s the current best doco place for nostr ?

Hey nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 & nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft .. for someone technical starting off with Nostr and wanting to do it the right way - decentralised/resistant/support giving and receiving sats in a non custodial way - what stack would you recommend ? Or any other good in-depth locations for nostr doco/best practice ?

One of the things you realise when running a business … it’s lonely. There are very few people who think the same way i.e take charge of their own financial security by creating value. It sucks to have so few people to talk to.

All of cgpgrey videos are amazing. Been following his content for years and his podcast ‘cortex’

I can only answer this personally …. I want whatever is being sold more than I want the #bitcoin. There is nothing wrong with spending bitcoin for another asset you want … food/holiday/house. I don’t sell my bitcoin for fiat … I sell them if and when I want to enjoy an asset or service. Talking about my business personally, I offer a 50% discount on the price when paid in #bitcoin because I want to encourage people to get out of the FIAT system as much as possible.

I run a business (https://learn.cantrill.io) and because of nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx driving home the ‘get paid in #bitcoin’ point I created a self-hosted BTCPAY server about 18 months ago. I’ve noticed a huge increase in #bitcoin sales over the past few months, an even bigger increase when I started offering a discount over cuckbucks and what’s most interesting .. the past 90 days have shown a significant increase in lightning based sales … they are now 50%+ of my total sales volume in BTC.

I’m giving away 5 licenses to my #AWS training at https://learn.cantrill.io to any AWS interested nostr friends :) use this link https://learn.cantrill.io/p/all-the-things-plus?coupon_code=NOSTRAPR&product_id=4928199 ($600 USD value each).

All I ask is that you repost this to spread it around :)

I also support payment with #bitcoin for all purchases and offer a 50% discount over cuckbucks :) https://btcpay.cantrill-infra.net/

Who said I use apple? Or did you assume as much because I called out Bisq for being years behind an architecture change ?

And it’s still not native apple silicon. Just embarrassing.

Any idea on a beta release or release of notedeck ? :)

Brain washing works.

Trying out gossip ...it's for sure the Sparrow of Nostr, thans nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx for raising its profile.

All of this is the fault of the people running the services or the apps not surfacing it.

Testing primal wallet. Can someone zap me … I’ll zap back ;)

There was a URL which let you sneaky enable zaps in Damus for iOS … can anyone help me out ? :)

I’m thinking about a learning resource you would read. With Visuals. Theory and Practical. Easily translated. With audio companion. Also easily translated.

Upgrades to my UPS yesterday, I added an extra external battery. 2h 39m minutes of power with the update. That's for my firewall/router, switching, CCTV server, 2 POE access points (wifi), a NAS and 2 64GB virtualisation hosts (Proxmox)

Diminishing returns from here until I get the new house with full off-grid setup.

So do we have any #brisbane people on Nostr ?

So far this month, over 60% of my bitcoin payments via my business have been using the lightning network. That's a significant increase ...
