Maybe the thing might be mutiny, can't be censored through app stores. It can have integration with cashew mints that pop up whack a mole style. Easier to spin up a mint than an entire custodial solution. That might be the bandaid until a real more non-custodial solution comes.
With WoS shut down, I severely fear the implications for Nostr/zaps of Alby being shut down.
Can people start more custodial services? Just so one move doesn't debank 85%-90% of Nostr? Not a real solution but a quick one.
I wonder if a bunch of people in your situation gave WoS their Gmail which is basically light KYC
Is he? I mean he expected a shotgun KYC first I think, but he never saw this lasting.
9:50 this evening. I get the not caring about 50 bucks but don't say "I trust them" lol.

Agreed (that's been even more clear than ever after this last week). I will say Bitcoin "was always meant to have" a covenant opcode though, and once did. It will eventually come.
That it did, that it did. But I meant no changes from the Bitcoin people use today. Not the version from pre-August 2017, over six years ago.
Yet another whitepaper drops (which doesn't require a change to Bitcoin.) This one, Durabit uses Bitcoin backed E-Cash to incentivize filesharing through torrents. This has been a CLASSIC altcoin project remember BTT (BitTorrent token on Tron)? I would love to see sats become the native currency of filesharing.
Someone from the Monero community commented on one of callebtc's posts, something like "let me know when you have significant DNM use with E-Cash." He has a point. But maybe filesharing could be the first real use case for Bitcoin E-Cash.
https://fortune.com/2023/10/17/twitter-x-charging-new-users-1-dollar-year-to-tweet/ there ya go. Not about killing bots. About deanonymizing people. Usually when you pay for stuff, no ads. On Twitter, you still get ads, because those ads are worth more to a deanonymized person, which will be more people soon.

Note, this stuff is so dumb but affects mempools.
For about a week, the amount of brc-20s went down greatly. Brc-20s, unlike the jpegs don't stretch blocks. When this happened, it allowed the stretching of the jpegs to go unencumbered raising the avg block size. (Until, they came back.) Brcs also caused the massive fee spike. The date of the spike is circled. See how the avg block size shrank in the middle of blocks being 90% inscriptions? That's brc20s.
Honestly, it was supposed to be here already, but it got put on hold for supporting Ukraine.
Why Nostr exists: New "Elon making his garden wall higher" just dropped. Another move to make it less pleasant to click off platform. This, will likely be pretty ridiculous come election-time as people try to guage retweeting an article or not (because we know many do *before* they read) on only looking at a picture.

You know, nvm, that's only for when I send, you can make LNURLS go to nodes though, they need the 100% uptime. As for noncustodial receiving of zaps without a node, still waiting on async payments (or something like greenlight (a virtual node on the cloud, obviously not the best direction, but a better direction than WoS, since people hold the keys.)
Sorry about replying to this one, your reply disappeared for me, lol, nostr.
With all the PWAs I've been seeing lately (Mutiny, all the Cashu stuff, Nostr), there should be a Bitcoin and Nostr-centric progressive web app store.
Yeah, I'm happy to see it. Honestly, the only other community I wouldn't mind having around. But Lightning has some limitations that are (very) slowly being solved. Async payments is a (very) big one (being able to recieve payments when not online) Nostr took the path of not waiting for the right way to do something, and just using any way to do it. (Probably the right move. Its been great having zaps at all.) LNURLS can't be entirely trustless, but you can make it go to something you hold the Bitcoin keys to, your node, or a Phoenix Wallet or something like that.

Luke Palmer, at Monerotopia23, a little after the 13 minute mark starts talking about Nostr and how to implement Monero for zaps. I have heard of other ecosystems implementations using Nostr (mostly Monero and Minds) But I'm sure we will see other ecosystems end up here. I don't really mind, I think the biggest community here will be Bitcoin. The only thing that can ruin that is a well-funded a16z coin. Any other community that joins nostr will just be making nostr (Bitcoin's platform) bigger, even if that particular community isn't a Bitcoiners community.
Note: At one point he refers to a "Lightning improvement proposal" I guess the phrase would be either a NIP or a BOLT. Probably a NIP, that doesn't sound like a problem with the Lightning network in general.
Any blink 182 fans out there, a new song with the original lineup. They got back together for the kids. Great vid. https://youtu.be/fSKQRDq3RkM?si=i0bDIGEW2FeN8fMg
