My kids are a part of me that I didn’t know I had until they came into this world. That’s the best way I can describe the feeling of being a parent, at least for now.
I’ve been using it too while traveling. It’s awesome

Great post. It reminds me of a little thing I wrote a couple years ago. Living a good life is how we leave a legacy. https://wiremodal.net/how-to-live-forever
Calle has spoken. Make it so.
I’m using a nostr:npub1vr2nva0s0hhfulthjy8053rg9kruk5erzwaxdw85gjwkfytj994sgudzvx Data.Plus eSIM for the first time. Works great for a Canadian visiting the USA. Highly recommended. No KYC, pay with #bitcoin.
Hi everyone, this is my first note, and maybe it could be my last since I don't understand anything about Nostr and Bitcoin.
If I'm here it's all because of nostr:npub17nd4yu9anyd3004pumgrtazaacujjxwzj36thtqsxskjy0r5urgqf6950x so if you don't like what I'm going to put up take it up with him.
I dabble in watercolour and pencil illustrations.

Very nice! Welcome! I love my original painting from nostr:npub17nd4yu9anyd3004pumgrtazaacujjxwzj36thtqsxskjy0r5urgqf6950x
No problem! I grew up in the gta, now live down the road in London.
I believe the only potential identifying information would be the IP address where the invoice is generated. Thus better privacy for the sender than the recipient. Here’s a pretty good article that summarizes lightning privacy and the various ways one can try to figure out who paid whom. https://voltage.cloud/blog/lightning-network-faq/lightning-network-privacy-explainer/

Hello, I'm still a beginner to bitcoin and nostr and lighting so I have some questions.
Say we have bob.
Bob uses nostr.
He posts on nostr.
People zap him at his lightning address (for example, bob@getalby.com)
Now, he has 100 sats.
I was looking it up on google and I heard that lightning network transactions are private and encrypted.
Does that mean that only Bob and the sender know the details of the zap?
To the rest of the people on the network - is it just an encrypted transaction? And no further information could be deducted from it? Like say for example we have Mike on the lightning network. He sees a transaction, but doesn't know who it's from, who it's going to, and how much it is? I'm a little confused.
Thank you in advance #nostr community!

Alby is a custodial wallet so they can very easily see when one npub zaps another npub. Not very private. Also, zaps are usually published as nostr events so that clients can show the zap tally. Again, not private. If you want to send someone BTC privately via nostr, better to DM some ecash (look up eNuts, Minibits apps, both using Cashu protocol). Still custodial but private.
Typical lightning payments (where a user generates an invoice and another user pays it) are pretty good for privacy, especially for the sender (I believe). Others can correct me here.
As an aside, based your profile pic you may be based in Toronto. If so, hit up nostr:npub1826v365he5ty69lk3xgvzqrwy8587vdfrxnsz0k09khzustf8r7s6j7t95 for a torontoplebs.ca NIP-05 verification handle.
I’ve heard #bitcoin described as boxes, each with a key (or keys) to allow the owner to transfer or repack the contents. I think this analogy is pretty good, but I’d add another critical piece which is location. Imagining Bitcoin as boxes immediately leads one to think of a vault of deposit boxes at a bank. It’s better to think of the boxes as distributed throughout the universe. There are 2^256 (10^77) possible private keys, about the same number as atoms in the universe. It’s amazing to think that one can effectively stash their wealth in the combinatoric equivalent of a single atom in our vast universe.
Thankful for #nostr and #bitcoin. We’ll be here when every legacy platform fails. Come on in. #grownostr

Wow, I didn’t know that you only speak Italian. Your translator is very good!
The main lesson here is that goldbugs are better at self custody.
