The unavailability of LN addresses was the only thing that stopped me from using non-custodial Zeus lightning wallet as my number 1 solution. nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 fixed it. Changed my default Lightning address for Nostr to tony@zeuspay.com. Help me test this.

Payments no bigger than 100k sats please - don't have much inbound liquidity ๐Ÿ˜„

How do you get a ln Addy through Zeus?

Good morning - that's a gorgeous image, I'd love to be able to produce images to that level of quality

The Boer war explained:

A load of dutch farmers settled in South Africa, they were called Boers .

The area that they had settled in had a load of gold and diamonds. That was lucky for the Boers now wasn't it?

Britain had a small presence in the area.

Britain was all like "Fuck these farmers , we should own the gold and diamonds."

Used the media to manufacture outrage that Boers were mistreating the English.

British public took the bait. "Please do something !" they all cried as they clutched their pearls .

Britain does something to remedy the problem that they manufactured in the first place.

Expands police force in that area to the size of a private militia.

Use private militia to push Boers further north to a new area.

Takes all the gold and diamonds .

Turns out new area Boers were banished to has even MORE gold and diamonds, Boers are delighted.

Britain wants those gold and diamonds too.

Asks Boer president to let British live and work in new area.

Boers aren't cunts , they allow it , despite Britain being an absolute cunt in the past.

Britain repays this kindness by dressing their soldiers up as Boers and attempts to stage a fake insurrection against the Brits in the area, as an excuse to send in their army and take the area over.

Boers find out about it , and stop it before it happens, Britain again looks like a cunt .

Britain lets the whole thing cool off for a while cause everyone is like , cmon you were caught being a dickhead, cool the jets.

Britain replaces guy that fucked up the fake insurrection with new guy that nobody cares about , and waits long enough for people to forget what was going on , then...

Start war with Boers cause , cmon, we want gold and diamonds .

Boers winning war due to guerrilla tactics .

Britain looks like a cunt AGAIN , because these are farmers vs trained military.

Britain gets bright idea .

Locks Boer wives and children in concentration camps, oops sorry , workhouses, where they would deliberately allow disease spread.

Boers are forced to give up arms rather than see their families die of disease.

Britain "wins" the war .

Home in time for tea and crumpets , jolly good show .

and that was the Boer war .

Lovely stroll this morning ๐ŸŒ„

#proofofwalk #proofofsunrise #photography #autumn

Not competing but I've now lost count ๐Ÿ˜† also, how many equivilant cups of coffee are there in the typical energy drink, because I've had two of those too ๐Ÿคช

It certainly is, today was just a taster to remind me how much I still need to prepare ๐Ÿ˜†

What's happened? Another atrocity?

Woke up at 5 this morning and have had two coffees already โ˜•โ˜•

It's also bloody cold on the boat first thing ๐Ÿฅถ at this time of year ๐ŸŒก๏ธ so time to starting burning the ethanol ๐Ÿ”ฅ

It's gonna be one of them days ๐Ÿ˜†

You're starting in the best place in social media history imho ๐Ÿ‘ welcome to the cult ๐Ÿฅณ

Interesting perspective on anonymity on #nostr - I started out anonymous on the forums back in 2014 but realised I needed to put my name to my work so ceded the comfort and started posting under my real name.

nostr:npub1dtf79g6grzc48jqlfrzc7389rx08kn7gm03hsy9qqrww8jgtwaqq64hgu0 mentions that some of it could be a throw back to traditional social media where people needed to be more careful, and that could be true for some.

However I think privacy is the main driver behind anonymous posting on here. Am I right?

The other think I like about anonymity is that it forces a person to confront an argument, not a person. If you don't like someone's view you can't insult their character or person of you don't know anything about them...and let's be honest, we've all seen it happen, or done it.

Enjoy your rest ๐Ÿ’ค

At some point we'll look at the amount of sats we've zapped in the past and think to ourselves "each one of them zaps would have been enough to buy a house" ๐Ÿ˜†

That was a solid start, if you're anything like me you won't have been able to keep count through the course of a whole day ๐Ÿ˜†โ˜•

If you hold down on the zap icon you'll get a menu where you can adjust the amount of sats you want as options when you go to zap a post, you can also double click it to set a custom amount for a single zap - you can also hold down on the like icon and you'll have a menu to preset a range of emojis you can add as reactions to posts

Lovely time of year ๐Ÿ‘
