Pretty Cool! qr-ai.netlify.app
So (*i think* the current thing is) Damus users will still be able to get zapped on Damus to their profile pages, but not the individual posts.
Of course, if the sender is using another client... then probably they still can zap a post of a Damus user and it will still go right to their wallet, but i guess they won't be able to see it on Damus. Weird.
Primal or Snort are really both nice ux's for web clients, if the Apple crowd wants to tip posts like the good old days.
Welcome to Nostr!
Are those petunias? I tried a flower identification website (that didn't make me download an app), but they aren't sure, they showed a partial match with "petunia x hybrid's" shape and color, but I haven't seen any with the white border like that.
I wrote something on how Apple App Store censorship sucks (regarding Damus). It sucks now, and it sucked almost a decade ago when they removed EVERY SINGLE BITCOIN/CRYPTO WALLET.
Browser-based clients (and wallets) are a great measure to take back some power.
On a scale of one to super hard, how hard would it be to change Damus into a web client?
Iris is both an Android app and a web client, while Plebstr is an Android app, with web client access "Coming Soon" according to their official site.
So, I am presuming, they are changing their Android app client into a web browser-based client.
(However, I may be ENTIRELY wrong, and the more accurate description might be "REBUILDING their client (from scratch) as a web browser-based client.")
Imagine a post that's an conference, either in meatspace, or a livestream, that you can click on and it adds itself to your calendar, and then your calendar can remind you when you are getting close.
However, they are clearly attempting this strategy.
While Coinbase has been claiming that by the SEC allowing them to go public, this was also giving them the go-ahead to operate, and that what they were selling was not securities, the statement clearly says that the SEC has "not approved or disapproved these securities". What's more, "any representation otherwise is a criminal offense."
I made a thing where I took the Apple vision and put it on Thom Yorke, and then used a frame from the "No Suprises" video, where he is depressed, stuck in a pod filling with water, and put it where the water is just over his eyes.
Looks like a snorkel mask full of water tho, lol
Would love when we see on Start 9 or Umbrel, people running their own Bitcoin nodes, Nostr relays, and maybe...
Open-source self-hosted AI.
A network of computers, where you can both serve your own AI needs and also sell computation to others, in exchange for sats.

The show is a side project from 'The Breakdown's' NLW. His show was on the Coindesk podcast feed for a long time, so he has a VERY mainstream crypto audience. Because of this, this episode is likely the most exposure his listeners have had to Nostr yet, so happy to see this. NLW interviews Andi Pitt.
Oh, that's pretty cool! I've heard of Onlyfans type sites over Lightning... like Starbacker, and definitely heard of porn accepting Bitcoin, but haven't heard of any non-bitcoiny porn sites that were accepting Lightning.
Bitcoin fees are too hig... uh... low!
Yes. Bitcoin fees are too low!
It will never be able to sustain a robust security budget!
Why are Bitcoin's fees ALWAYS SO LOW?!
Texas anti-mining bill defeated (the one that would discriminate against allowing demand response programs.)
Pretty big. Was worried it was going to be used as precedent for DAME tax (30% tax on energy for mining. ) , because it's an example of a law where you can discriminate on Bitcoin because of energy usage.
Can we make a connected network of home gpu AI "nodes." You run AI for your own needs or you can "rent" compute on the network from others for Lightning. Maybe somehow use Nostr for this?
Okay. A thing that's been on my mind when comparing fedimint and Liquid, (besides the auditability problem) is distribution of custodians. When the Fedi guys talk, they make it sound like a Fedimint's 'guardians' will be trusted members of a community, so likely all in one jurisdiction (and vulnerable to nation state attacks/pressure). They COULD be distributed across different countries, but trust doesn't scale distance-wise well. You could substitute reputation and skin-in-the-game for trust, and then you recreate Liquid's federation.
So auditability? Can't be as good as Liquid.
Resistance to nation-states?
Best case scenario? It's AS good as Liquid.
Most fedimints will probably be worse, all keys in one jurisdiction.
(Of course the near perfect privacy of ecash is FAR superior to Confidential Transactions which only hide amount and asset type.)
Because of this, I will definitely be using ecash due to it being the easiest way to privately use Bitcoin.
Ledger should have released their new service as a new piece of hardware, this way, people wouldn't have known that just through an online update could the "secure element" be modified so that the private keys could leave the device, albeit in three (encrypted) pieces.
I thought the picture would appear, lol. It's Absence by Antarctica.
