Assalamualaikum everyone,

My brothers and sisters i didn’t have any interest to be in nostr. But sad to say, all other social medias are just messed up. New X rules are totally garbage, that's why I'm here.

Would be cool if I could connect blockstream green as my main wallet to my Nostr stuff. Maybe one day? Or maybe it can't work I honestly don't understand any of this stuff well.

On that note, is Blue Wallet a better choice? I remember hearing that there was some reason not to go with Blue Wallet and I chose Green instead. Suggestions?

Also if I do want to change is there a way to migrate my btc from one wallet to another? Ideally without fees

Does anyone recommend a cashu app I can use on my iPhone? I tried to play with it and it seems like the payments invoices for cashu is the same as lightning ? Have I understood it properly? Meaning I can pay a lightning invoice with cashu and receive money in cashu from a lightning wallet?

How do you all split your time and posts with X and Nostr?

I feel like at this point it’s worth posting the same content on both. Does that kind of bot already exist?

Hey frens!

I'm pursuing the launch of a podcast incubator with the aim of producing about a dozen Islamic podcasts with topics ranging from children's stories, relationship counseling, financial planning, nasheeds/tilawa, personal development/health and more. If anyone has passion and experience in this space and wants to co-produce, help develop, or be a show host then please let me know. DMs open for 24 hours for this.

Every few weeks I try to explore something new in this tech infested world and it always ends up being far more complicated than it should be for an end user. Bitcoin, KYC, nodes, Bisq, wallets, lightning, relays, Nostr, key management, etc. Tons of reading and time invested. It just needs to be simpler. I get the complexity is what makes it secure and anonymous but it will NEVER achieve widespread adoption in its current form.

I've spent the better part of two days trying to actually understand how any of this works or why, and how to best manage my account security and keys and everything. The BTC wallet I normally use isn't compatible with Nostr I guess so I had to create a new wallet with Alby just to be able to send/receive on here. That's its own hassle. And then Primal lets you send but only using THEIR wallet (in app) which is annoying. But the other Nostr iOS apps are bad (Damus seems good but primitive).

All in all I hope that this whole side of tech, the actual future side, manages to simplify its process to the end user. As it stands you won't convince people to abandon anything this way. The moment they left behind a simple email and password they're going to want out. So a straightforward replacement must exist (private key login is good! But then there is the issue of key security and needing extensions to hold them instead of the individual sites).

Simplicity is key.

“Due to its desire for quantification, modern civilization has been atomized and reoriented to stimulate illusory needs of material human nature - a thriving cult of progress that only need output more and more artificial needs to satisfy modernity's march toward extinction.”

Spot on; if I may add something, Guy Debord as well as Baudrillard argue that capitalists and communists have, in the first case explicitly, in the second case implicitly, accepted and promoted pseudo-needs, as something essential to our being. Debord in his analysis of the Commodity as Spectacle, concludes that exactly those pseudo-needs will drive the economic system to overheat thereby crashing it.

PS. Maybe instead of a tearing down of such systems, an incorporation, via cosmotechnical means, could offer another route, cybernetics with an Islamicate touch. But we are not a people of awareness any longer, how often do we contemplate about Mizan(Balance) and the ayat Allah swt. has placed in nature. Shameful to say the least.
