I love using nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg with the ICE theme (blue and white) - it’s such a calming way to browse

For this reason, I agree with nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle that focusing on the utility of Nostr as a lightning directory and micropayments enabled social graph will push adoption far faster than the free speech angle
Nostr fixes arbitrary censorship but doesn’t fix the European trend towards authoritarianism.
I can see this happening to relay runners in the future, and police will still come knocking on the doors of nostrlings who say things their government doesn’t like if they dox themselves.
That could be as obvious as setting up a ”regular“ social profile like mine or more subtle like having a Lightning address for zaps or leaking an IP address.

After my first personal experience with censorship / deplatforming and watching nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m talk with nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx at Nostr Riga and regardless of what happens with Simply Bitcoin’s YT channel we will be posting our news aggregation content, video content, and livestreams to Nostr regardless of initial viewership engagement
As a Bitcoin media organization we feel like it’s our responsibility to promote protocols where not only can people transact freely but can also speak freely without any risk of censorship
Appreciate the support from nostr:npub1cj8znuztfqkvq89pl8hceph0svvvqk0qay6nydgk9uyq7fhpfsgsqwrz4u and nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr on this front. If anyone else has additional resources for me so the Simply Bitcoin team can learn to post our video / livestream content to Nostr it would be highly appreciated 🙏

Welcome to the lifeboat 🫡
nostr:note1gv42x7fvn8vcyr29w4gh9qn46we26tzvqksg9v2j9d6zae30f8asree0p8What I love about the Nostr protocol is that features can be defined in the NIPs and you aren’t tied to one client. So even though Primal doesn’t support delete, snort does.
Which lightning node is best suited for deployment via nostr:npub155m2k8ml8sqn8w4dhh689vdv0t2twa8dgvkpnzfggxf4wfughjsq2cdcvg in 2024? LND or CLN? 🫢
A lot of the online comparisons seem to be years out of date... for example, LND now supports pruned nodes since version 0.13, which was a big reason to choose CLN on a small server...
I've spun up CLN so far, mostly because it's supposed to be kinder on resources than LND... but have found it almost impossible to run it with less than 4GB of ram, and there seems to be a bug that stops payments from server despite liquidity (Github: #6793).
The essential plugins (like rebalancing) are also not integrated already, meaning some hacking about with docker fragments etc.
So now wondering if I should have gone with LND... it seems to be better integrated with BTCPay, and is still (I believe) the more widely used node?
So before I tear it down and start over... which are you using and why?
I've created a nostr:npub155m2k8ml8sqn8w4dhh689vdv0t2twa8dgvkpnzfggxf4wfughjsq2cdcvg plugin for aMember Pro. It allows you to accept #bitcoin for recurring membership subscriptions.
It's available free on my GitHub:
Been on a steep learning curve this week... But I now have a working Lightning⚡️node on my nostr:npub155m2k8ml8sqn8w4dhh689vdv0t2twa8dgvkpnzfggxf4wfughjsq2cdcvg, my own #NIP05 domain and (hopefully) a working custom lightning address. 🤞
