I agree on this one
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.
Primal is the Coinbase of nostr
I liked your note, just to prove a point.
archlinux has 0 bloat
Linux world is vast but you're right in the fact that most distros are just garbage.
I sure hope so. I was more sure before than now
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.
Fedora Linux 40 is out!
Ships with PyTorch (for deep learning) and ROCm 6 — open-source software that provides acceleration support for AMD graphics cards, GNOME 46, KDE Plasma 6 (for KDE spin), Fedora Atomic Desktop, and updates all around.

What do you mean "ships with pytorch ..."? Preinstalled?
If yes then I'm shocked by how can people use OSs with so much preinstalled bloat they need...
What other good routing nodes and LSPs also super Simple Taproot Channels?
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:
https://github.com/sommerfelddev/sentrum/releases
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.
