“PWA”? Oh, you mean “GAB”!

Andrew Torba’s Gab; years ahead of the pack in execution, front end and back end infrastructure.

“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

This is not true.

What it actually means s that in the TOS, you need to specify exactly what the context of a Zap is; that it is a mere gift, and is in no way to be construed as payment for anything whatsoever. That should be enough to be compliant with this Apple Rule.

Users are at liberty to use Damus for whatever they want, even for purposes outside of the Damus TOS. Apple is concerned only with what the incorporation that owns Damus (is there even one?) is doing in its relationship with its users, not the private arrangements users make between themselvs.

Furthermore, the fact that mining taks place for a fee cannot (and probably won’t) be construed as anything to do with the act of sending a Zap. This is like saying Apple will claim that because you pay for ISP/Cellphone service fees, or monthly payment on your phone, or electricity, with a credit card that charges you a fee, that using Bitcoin is, “A violation of their guidelines”. Clearly this is totally absurd, and would mean that the other payment methods which certainly attract fees to get things done, would fall afoul of Apple’s rules meaning that their language makes no sense.

The guideline is this; don’t put on the layer’s hat unless you’re a lawyer or have experience in interpreting a TOS and its terms. If you don’t have a lawyer, get one. No, ChatGPT cannot act as your lawyer. If you’re serious about launching and running a world changing app, and you’ve been funded, you really should have a competent, high power law firm with many international offices and with expertise in this area at your disposal. And NO the EFF is not good enough.

The numbers say RFK is right about Autism and Ivermectin. The curse of the credentialed is that they cannot go against “the prevailing wisdom” and this is true across all professions, including economics, which causes the flat rejection of Bitcoin.

In the case of medicine and Bitcoin, the facts and numbers don’t matter to Vinay’s class; they believe “The Consesus” over any fact. We can still defeat them however, by showing utility and using the market as stick, carrot and whip.

Once Bitcoin is in the hands of billions of people, the prospect of swarms of people depositing money directly into the phones of the Vinay class, or more likely, that they see that happening in someone else’s phone, it will not be psychologically possible for them to oppose Bitcoin.

Furthermore, because that money goes right “into” their phone, they will know that it’s actually private. This will set off an endorphin cascade turning them into drooling Bitcoiners.

The credentialed are human beings who can and will be turned into Bitcoiners. The key is not onboarding them but onboarding billions of people who don’t come from their demographic; everyone else.

Thinking adversarially is a good thing. You might think, "We've got into the App Store, and hyuk hyuk we got AI to write our TOS and application; WE'RE WINNING! LET'S GOOOOOOO!".

That's all well and good, but are you thinking adversarially? Do you see every step of your process as just an item on your checklist to be ticked off? Have you considered, "What happens to our users if our app goes away from iOS for any reason?

If you think adversarially, you might hold the following: "Look at what happened to Andrew Torba and Gab. Because his platform allows people to say whatever they want that is legal speech, Apple and Google won't allow his client to be distributed. We need to construct something that allows our users to move their entire accounts as a blob to another platform in a snap (no, not Ubuntu, clever man) so that our users can never be cut off. We should perhaps abandon the idea of a native app entirely and launch a Progressive Web App like Gab did that will run on any device no matter what Apple or Google says."

Perhaps this, given the "Censorship Resistance" mindset to Nostr people should have been the position from the start. Because Andrew Torba and Gab are pariahs amongst many they would not (if they even know any of Gabs architecture woes) have sought to emulate him lest they and Nostr be associated with "Gab Ethics" (free speech).

The answer to Nostr client on iOS and Google Play is to go 100% Progressive Web App. Andrew Torba I'm sure would be willing to help with the design, saving developers many hours and tears of frustration.

Why continue to beg like Plebs when you can write software and be totally free? Gab has resisted the German and French governments successfully and others. No one can ban their app or have any control over them whatsoever.

The App Store and Google Play are SPOFs that can damage the short term ability to use Nostr; why wait for the hammer to come down? Do it now. Turn your back on relying on the behemoths and begging like peasants.

If you don't know anything about Gab, you should learn about it and their battles that they've won very astonishingly and bigly.

Or not!

You dont know wjat youre talking about…and thats OK. And im not a “dude”.

Stop wasting your time. This is exactly why I don’t come here its full of...

The legal classification in the USA is that it is speech. See the Bernstein case.

You need to make lessons from Andrew Torba. No IS company will obey any rule handed down from a British judge. Do try to GET A GRIP ON REALITY.

People in Bitcoin would do well to understand what the word "Jurisdiction" means. If a court and legislatures in Afghanistan or Saudi Arabia outlawed Bitcoin, all the huffing and puffing ignorant Ugly Americans wouldn't be clutching their pearls about it, but if it is Britain that does it, all of a sudden, THIS IS A HUGE ATTACK ON RIGHTS!

Americans don't understand their own country, why it is special and why the judgements of backwards countries like Britain simply don't count for much to anyone who can actually THINK.

If Britain never ever used Bitcoin forever and the rest of the world settled on it, what on earth do you think 67.33 million people not using Bitcoin compared to 7.888 BILLION people in terms of difference of outcome would make?

The real question is this; do you have ANY APPRECIATION OF ANY KIND OF THE SCALE IF THE POPULATION OF THE EARTH? Do you know what the difference between a BILLION people and A MILLION PEOPLE is?

If you do, you don’t care a HOOT about what silly little Britain decides to do about Bitcoin; the world is an absolutely HUGE PLACE with literally BILLIONS of people on it.

If Bitcoin served only ONE SEVENTH of the world’s population, it would be 117.15 times as many people than are in Britain, and there are TWO BILLION unbanked so the number is probably three times 117.15, taking into account everyone else who will be onboarded.

People like to whine and go into panic mode about tiny little inconsequential places that go anti-Bitcoin, but the reality is the situation is EXTREMELY POSITIVE for anyone WHO HAS A GLOBE IN THEIR HOUSE and who knows how to COUNT.

You people need to GROW UP and stop HYPERVENTILATING about problems that are literally NOTHING compared to the big picture. We are going to WIN THIS, and there is NOTHING ANYONE CAN DO ABOUT IT, if we keep calm, carry on, incorporate wisely, spread Bitcoin as fast as possible to both the richest and poorest and…

LAY OFF THE FUD BOTTLE!

No, because Apple has an absolute right to set their own rules about what they allow in their “App Store”. Do I agree with them? Obviously not. Are they 100% wrong? 100% yes. Apple is a behemoth with many hires of inadequate people who can’t reason, but who fill their diversity quotas. It was probably someone like that who triggered this outrageous snd discriminatory FILTH.

It’s not a commodity as if you asserting it is doesn’t make it one.

The money is the key to the empire.

Anyone can make promises.

If the money doesnt change, the system can reboot itself.

A Socialist can’t fix anything.

No one should be forced to wait for other people to figure things out.

Trust no one. Especially politicians. Doubly so for Socialists.

Bitcoin is everything to do with the required change.

Principles matter. They’re everything.

Violence is always wrong.
