It would be helping the enemy

They are both unacceptable, that's why most people used their dojo. If it were up to me, no wallet would have a default node, regardless of wether it's a dojo, electrum or bitcoin-rpc

The option was always there for the users: run own dojo, which they always repeatedly and most users did.

Sending xpubs to dojo was not a whirlpool requirement (sparrow iust uses electrum servers). It was purely a UX decision to make the experience on mobile bearable.

They justified in an interview that for the postmix account (which can have hundreds of transactions), using block filters requires gigabytes of network traffic. For mobile that is simply unacceptable.

I liked your note, just to prove a point.

I was really shopping for 1 in the top 50 of BOS ranking but couldn't find one. Shame.

Maybe well established nodes don't feel like risking their rank position on new tech.

You can host websites fully on nostr without domains: https://github.com/vitorpamplona/nostr-web-server

This would just require building browsers or browser extensions that could understand this and use note ids to fetch content and navigate hyperlinks.

Suddenly, ordinals seems like a much smaller problem, doesn't it filteroors?

This is what being attacked looks like, it's not just degen gamblers burning money on jpegs.

Where we are going, we don't need no DNS 🙃

In nostr everything gets routed from note or user ids. Those can be sort of made human readable my mining it.

POW is the only possible decentralized name system since it does not rely o Man but on math.

Chrij, a legendary #csgo player liked one of my tweets so I went to investigate.

Apparently, he is ultra based. We need to get this legend on nostr

sentrum now has aarch64 builds in the GH releases page for all the potential node runners wanting to run it on a raspberry pi or similar:

If you need builds on other platforms (macos arm, freeBSD, etc) just let me know and I'll add it to the release job pipeline.

All bitcoin tradea have some level of KYC since the trade partner needs to know something about you in order for the trade to happen.

The goal is to make each trade partner different each time so that a single entity does not collect information about all your bitcoin/fiat trades.

The way to achieve that is p2p, no reuse of identities and to give out as few information as strictly required.

I'm in EU so revolut is what works best and it's reasonably private from your trade partner since he cannot see your full name.

Instant SEPA also has loads of liquidity.

I cannot Amazon gift cards. They are more iliquid, with higher premiums and you cannot spend them privately since you need an amazon account with a valid credit card to use them.

I can usually get 1.5k USD orders filled within 8 hours. I usually set the premium to 2%, but honestly I would pay 10% if needed.
