I definitely get ya. I use Amethyst, too, now. So, I'll remember what to recommend based on use case. When I try to explain freedom and privacy technology, in general, there are some people who get it in principle, applaud it, even personally recognize how much we need it, but then just buckle under and type of extra steps - even a little bit.

I talked to a lady yesterday. She was completely intrigued. Kept asking me questions and dialoguing for an hour. At the end she said (and I didn't even bring up this topic), "If the apocalypse happens, just let me die. I'm never going to have the skills to do something different." To which I said, "Alrighty, then. Well, it's been great talking to you. Lol."

Maybe she'll pass the info onto her husband or kids. (shrug)

Noted! Lol. Will pass on message to any recruits.

Hmm. Didn't remember that. Probably because I didn't divulge my personal info (my own best practice, so I don't really think about it anymore.)

Glad you reminded me. If I onboard others, I'll make certain to remember.

Is there a kyc issue? If so, I didn't encounter it during setup. Will something change on this when the DVM feature rolls out?

haha. most people don't even know the nostur hack to enable zaps lol. see this is what im talking about. things are too damn complicated because not everyone wants to deal with apple's bullshit.

you're more technical than you believe. most of the world will not be using cashu in it's current form. you're ahead of the pack here.

again i do agree that more notice in the onboarding process should be available to users.

the primal wallet is able to hold a maximum of 1M sats. it's not an incredible amount of money. it's just a spending wallet.

i think that they're filling a niche of users that want to use nostr, use zaps, and need to buy bitcoin to do so. i met 3 of these users in person at nostriga. they told me they were not bitcoiners and needed bitcoin for zaps and had no clue how to get it. primal solves this problem for them.

i believe the vast majority of people don't care about some of these things that you may care about. most people use centralized exchanges, right? if we want people to not kyc and use decentralized solutions then those solutions need to have a better user experience. that's just the world as it is now, man. not everyone is super technical.

I could be wrong here, but it seems like you're upset that this is Primal being celebrated because they're a VC funded company. Am I close? I believe any client should be celebrated that is adding features like this with great usability. When the next client adds a great feature with a great UX you better believe me when I say I'll be shilling it. I shill all Nostr clients and services that I use and like 🥹

I agree on the second part. People are told that they don't need to KYC to use Nostr and then it's confusing that they are asked to do so here.

The worst part about nostr is the npub

Why don't we normalize NIP05 sharing instead of npub sharing?

It's so much easier!

i will tell you that the primal implementation of DVMs seems to be better UX than what Amethyst has. this is just based off of screenshots though. we'll see how good it is when it launches next month.

it's been a while, but i believe you have the option to skip the wallet setup. i will have to nuke my local storage and run through setup again later to confirm.

i've been using the DVMs on Amethyst and Nostrudel since launch too, but that doesn't mean i can't celebrate when another client adds this features?

you don't have to use the wallet and kyc yourself. you have that choice. you also have the choice to use false information 😉

i used to say this too, but with the upcoming DVMs and Highlighter integration, it's actually bad ass. it feels powerful.

Yeah, it was just frustrating because on my tablet, I could get Amber to work as a bunker application, but for some reason, on my phone, which I have graphene installed on, it wouldn't work, and I thought it was a problem with graphene. Turns out I'm just an idiot and didn't let the app talk to the internet.

Yes, Ditto will serve the Soapbox Web UI for you.

I mean, not that I really figured it out. That's just kind of how Ditto works out of the box. Ditto comes with yourdoimain.com/relay is your instances relay. If you don't add any other Relays to your instance of Ditto, it only reads and writes from itself.

For some reason I felt the need to add other relays to the instance of Ditto when I first set it up and that it ingested a whole bunch of random crap into the global timeline. Not really ideal for a themed relay.

Three guesses.

I don't think you can, unfortunately. But make theforest your private draft relay, in the settings, or people can watch you move around, and it can be impossible to delete, otherwise.

nostr only on phone has been great lately

no urge to redownload or engage in the legacy virtue socials

Mosha started having trouble with one of her back legs, she can't put any weight on it 😬 Heading to the vet in an hour 😟

Pretty sick option with the free LNURL now WoS and Alby arnt easily available. Having a play with it now

No normi is going to give up Chrome for a Tor browser. Brave browser would be a good compromise.

I think the media environment has a lot to do with it. Frankly though I’m only ever worried about the party in power. Right now that’s liberals. When the conservatives were in control I was liberal. Now that the liberals control society I am conservative. I will likely always be in opposition to the dominate authoritarian side. Just what feels right to me.

A lot of people are tired and worn from seeing rich, old, white men in charge.

You're allowed to bitch and moan however you want, but enough want this to be different moving forward.

It's either that or we start shooting each other.

I hated the fedimint move but don't want to kick someone while they're down.

Shitcoiner/vp capitalists turned “bitcoiner”. They’re not really a Bitcoin exchange, more of a referral situation/working with prime trust behind the scene. Middleman scammers brokering Bitcoin through prime trust or whatever they changed their name to to the suits. They aren’t providing value by facilitating transactions like strike or cashapp. They’re just using a third party/white labeled version of prime trust to broker your Bitcoin behind the scenes. Also partnered with nefarious actors to offer cloud/institutionalized mining services and now they’re trying to IPO. They’re against everything Bitcoin stands for and the company provides no real value.

Even though our account on X was mistakenly suspended for a short while today, it was nice to see that our Nostr account remained ever-present. 💜

🇻🇪 In 2020, Venezuela, despite heavy economic sanctions from the United States, began to record growth in its GDP.

Maduro managed to survive the difficult years and the painful transition under sanctions.

The people lived under severe sanctions and poverty after Maduro's predecessor Chavez decided through a referendum to nationalize oil and expel the globalist oil companies, Chavez died and Maduro succeeded him in 2013.

Immediately after this Obama imposed severe economic sanctions on Venezuela, after which a massive decline began of the economy and poverty in the country.

Maduro not only had to contend with sanctions, he also had to contend with several coup attempts by the CIA.

One of the most famous is when the CIA-backed Juan Guaido proclaimed himself president and was immediately thrown out of the country like a rag, and the coup attempt was stifled with the enormous help of the Russian Secret Service.

Since 2020, US sanctions have no effect on this country. GDP growth started despite the sanctions. Just like with Iran.

In a few years Venezuela will have a 5% growth in its GDP, completely independent of the US dollar and with a complete industry of its own.

They will also join the BRICS, and China has announced major investments in the country.

This was therefore the CIA's last chance to stage a coup, although it is already clear to everyone that it will not succeed.

Should be a nip-19 entity or the raw hex ID

I'll make a special "exchage" kind of UX and transaction type if there will be more USD mints.

😂

CANNOT BE BANNED.

IMAGINE FADING THAT.

Never forget what the elite took from us! This is from the 20s and it is 100 years later and our toaster tech is dog 💩 compared to this. 😂
