1) The Sovereign Individual - that is more practical approach to the BTC, so it's not outside of, yet can't help myself.

(Taking into account how long they spent writing the book, preparations; this started long before the release date. That makes it more impressive.)

2) The Mosquito - Timothy C. Winegard

(Masterpiece, well written for this kind of topic, worth paying to have hard copy.)

3) How We Got Here: the 70's - David Frum

(It sums up the roots of cultural state in the USA for me, as I don't understand the culture well, and I'd like to skip relying on those who try to facilitate it for me, whoever they may be.)

After briefly reading the posts you made here, take a look at this:

Yeah the BitPay. Definitely protecting my privacy and what not. Because using BTCPay is just fcuking hard, right?

Used to take a bus and pay 1,- CZK per minute at the nearest game cafe just to not play games but surf the net.

(16 used to be one beer, 15 big pack of chips, 45 a pack of cigs.)

Crazy how this is now accessible everywhere (mainly LTE/Starlink/GPON FTTP really delivers).

Also, how has the tide shifted and users nowadays have dissociated themselves from the protocol in favor of platforms.

And how smooth the transition was, despite the many times the platform fails in the process of siphoning the userbase, yet users do not change their behavior.

Overall, I do believe it's OK unless I'm forced to use or participate in it.

Suita; just lol.

But srsly, the combination of a shitcoin and referral begging is a natural fit, so it’s no wonder after all.

Step 0: stop fucking begging me for spreading a referral disease.

TIL that Lenovo is manufacturing a mouse (model 400) that isn’t compatible with Linux. Even if the receiver is simply plugged into a USB‑C port, it blocks the boot process.

Incredible, what a shitty product.

I’ve never encountered a mouse that’s unusable right out of the box. How does something like this even make it to the retail?

nostr:npub1kvaln6tm0re4d99q9e4ma788wpvnw0jzkz595cljtfgwhldd75xsj9tkzv for wallet address - how is the name reserved, for how long? I mean what if user stop using the wallet (delete app), or decide to change the name.

The old name is with some expiration, or can it be reused by someone later on?

Or once it's created, there is no way someone can take it? (Same as with most email providers, gatekeeping the address so someone can't impersonate.)

*I suppose the custom address doesn't have different rules from the generic one.

Something not working right with njump lately (maybe this started after the last CF outage).

njump.me as info page is working all the time.

But with a /nevent1, a lot of request ending as:

Usually one simple refresh of the page finishing ok.

I'm not the only one so far.

idk 'AI-Powered', just why

ironfox, it's basically only one option afaik

At least Tuta does have interesting captchas

#rant #fcuk I needed to create an account, a semi-public one tied to another public account within legacy data silos (aka GH and alike). Which required an email address. It wasn't meant to be a super-secret anonymous or pseudonymous account, as it would be publicly exposed anyway. Decided to try Tuta to see what they offered compared to the basic ProtonMail service for this case. Not liking the Proton monopoly in the space much anyway. When created the account, Tuta put a 24-hour hold on it for manual approval.

After the time elapsed, they informed me that I had to contact them with a written email to explain what I planned to use it for.

Did that, and on the third day, the account started working. Tested by sending an email to it, and since didn't receive a bounce-back message about an unreachable mailbox, began using it for my intended purpose. A day later, after I had already created accounts with several other services using this Tuta email, the Tuta login screen showed me only a "Too many failed login attempts" error.

After waiting about an hour, a new message popped up: "Invalid login credentials."

They did it, bastards. Tuta nuked my new account, the one they manually approved, within a day of use, giving me no chance to react. God forbid they let me verify* myself with: a payment, a phone number, or another email (which I had to use anyway to migrate my accounts later on).

It was my first time using Tuta, so, not knowing how they operate, I didn't set up any recovery options besides saving the recovery code. Didn't add a phone number or a secondary email.

Maybe this could prevent some abuse detection, who knows. Imagine if the services I signed up for didn't let me easily change the email to a backup address.

What a fuck-up. Really didn't expect this kind of rug pull. (F*ck email anyway.)

*well rather validate as non bot, verify is not much a case as phone/payment/secondary mail is cheap to bypass - yet still a quite effective.

Tested with notification off. Untill Amber is back from background, no action is usually confirmed. Amber is quite often missing from the list of 'Active apps'.

Don't know why, so many remain there all the time. So far not working good with this setting.

Can the relay connected notification info list be configurable, by default, to display as a single row only, matching the screenshot above?

In some future update.

The 'roll it up' doesn't remain in effect and list often reappear back in full length.

nostr:npub1am3ermkr250dywukzqnaug64cred3x5jht6f3kdhfp3h0rgtjlpqecxrv7 have question - can this notification be completely avoided by switching it off (the 'Service' notification) in settings and let Amber work on background?

Or is it necessary to keep Amber somehow in working state. The list is still rolled out and it taking a lot of space in notification area.

Have unrestricted and run on background allowed for battery.

While posting a bit here, I realized that do not know one crucial thing about Nostr.

When referring to a Nostr note, should I use the ‘nostr:nevent1’ format or the ‘note1’ format?

What is the difference, if any?

As far as I know, ‘note1’ is a shortened version of the long string.

It just happened that I have many favorite notes in the nevent1 format and completely forgot about it until looking at what I'm actually inputting into the client.

Adding this for more completeness.

This is some steak saving advice

nostr:nevent1qqsfsxhqnrqu7ypa956ng8rqdmqpwl0rq8sjwvd4xgd4zjjc69hgxyqpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsygxvn9mdjecgw2wgjqnuzymngquelag37lr5z43mgjjmrld8hwzs3vpsgqqqqqqsrdyr25

Still nostr:npub1am3ermkr250dywukzqnaug64cred3x5jht6f3kdhfp3h0rgtjlpqecxrv7 is the best and only usable solution known to me (for Android) keeping nsec usable (outside of passwd manager) yet quite safe.

And also not that hard to use for an average user.

The ongoing problem is clients not respecting the user’s choice.

For example, YakiHonne doesn’t respect the push‑notification decline and cannot let me leave the app if I do not confirm it.

Sometimes there are many requests for one event.

0xChat asked me for many confirmations for a single message iirc; I have no idea what I’m signing for, so blindly confirming them all.

Hi, nostr:npub1syjmjy0dp62dhccq3g97fr87tngvpvzey08llyt6ul58m2zqpzps9wf6wl - I also would like to explore my bookmarks outside of Android client.

Jumble does have bookmark section, which is great.

But can't find info on whether this is done publicly or the encrypted (NIP-04) way.?

Prefer the latter.

(Amethyst is asking me how I would like to store them. Jumble did not do that, so I assume it's the public tag.)

Can also see the messages in Amethyst, for example.

So 0xchat is a specialized client mainly for DMs, but the metadata is still public (who is messaging whom and when).

So basically, if I do not switch to XChat, 0xchat (DMs in general) have these disadvantages from a privacy perspective?

I only remember from the early days of nostr to not use the DMs at all.

What is the current state? If I may ask.

Installed nostr:npub1tm99pgz2lth724jeld6gzz6zv48zy6xp4n9xu5uqrwvx9km54qaqkkxn72.

Someone with whom I would like to connect also uses this client.

We both have relay.0xchat.com as DM Inbox

Yet I'm getting only this:

and followed by this:

When the QR code generated in the next step, 'Invite Friends,' is shared with the other party and scanned, the attempt times out.

What we are doing wrong?

Hi, nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn so this anon post does work like for each post Coracle create keypair and discard the priv key immediately.

So in case I do like my anon a lot, there is no way to keep him alive?

It's one post one keypair.

The ... options do not allow for deletion request, assuming it's because of that.

(No need for actual deletion.)
