Nostr Web Client

Ok team, time to tap the hive mind again.

I have a replacement laptop, a 2nd hand Carbon X1, on the way as my laptop has rigor mortis if its not dead.😉

Whats peoples best suggestions for Linux distro, browser, mail client etc to install on it. Want something lightweight but I am only really just learning cli so will probably still need a good gui experience.

Have been running Zorin to get more life out of the old one when it slowed down on Windows which was all right. Never found a great experience other than Brave for a browser.

In the middle of moving my old legacy business account from Google Workspace account to Nextcloud or just one big Samba share on a personal server I just rebuilt from scrap parts.

Have a Tailscale set up too if that effects things as I move between multiple locations so that is pretty critical. Cheers team, 👍

Well things are getting worse in OZ https://www.fxstreet.com/cryptocurrencies/news/australia-to-tax-unrealized-capital-gains-tighten-crypto-atm-rules-202506030755

and the NZ opposition parties have said they want the same thing for years too.

Lock people in to a country with exit and overseas investment taxes, then start stripping their value without them even having to sell there assets.

Watch out rest of the western, similar legal system type, countries around the world. This is a test to see how bad the revolt from the populace is before the other governments try to bring in the same thing. NZ and OZ have historically been used to test things as a good poll size of population (think Cadbury and the chocolate products they used to roll out in NZ) and this will be no different if we dont try and fight it off.

#Australia update in the War on Cash:

https://ainsliebullion.com.au/News-Resources/Article/CommBank-Asks-About-Cash-at-Home/ID/7722

Banks being "incentivised" to demand details on home cash holdings, on pain of account freezing.

Ignore the last paragraph about metals, that's the source's self-interest.

AUSTRAC actually keeps a very tight grip on private bullion holdings - see Banking Act 1959 and Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006. In case govt "needs" your money - open and explicit in Banking Act. This has been progressively extended to cash and cash-equivalents.

This is why EVERYBODY needs to buy p2p / no-KYC and maintain good OPSEC, even if it costs more. #Bitcoin, metals, and now even cash.

Your government is deciding when to break open the piggy-bank. You are the piggy-bank.

No, they don't fear your reaction, and no, they don't care about the long-term implications of deincentivising productivity. They will be playing golf in Florida by then, just like most of our ex-PMs.

I think the appeal lies mainly in the convenience but it is a better alternative than storing your credentials on a companies server.

Kyle-GolfProCoach 11mo ago

I can definitely see the convenience factor but if your already using a password manager with mostly if not all individual strong passwords and 2fa OTP when you have the choice are you improving or going backwards using them?

Kyle-GolfProCoach 11mo ago 💬 3

For the techies listening, what is the real story with passkeys, are they actually more secure?

I keep getting emails and messages to upgrade my security to use passkeys over passwords but I am not sure and haven't had a lot of time to try and research it properly for myself. So hoping the hive mind can help more.

Another day, another exchange I am suspended from.

All of my funds are conjoined or swapped between LN/XMR for privacy before sending to exchanges, triggering all sorts of nonsense AML flags.

The exchange I am with now is requesting proof of funds, meaning it wants to see fiat coming into my bank account from an entity I have a business relationship with, asking me to "kindly assist them" in surveilling me.

Except that all of my business relationships are handled in bitcoin – meaning that it is impossible for me to show proof of fiat funds.

Alternatively, the exchange says, I could send them “the address” to which I received payment in the last year, matching the amount of money I have exchanged on their platform.

Obviously no such address exists as I create a new address for each transaction (and so should you). Additionally, much of my money comes in through donations, for which I simply do not have an invoice.

I could now send them every single zap I ever received on nostr in the past year – for context, that would be over 250 zaps in the past week alone, s/o to all the zappers – or I could move my business to Switzerland, where I can exchange up to 1000 CHF per day KYC-free (for now), which is what I’m going to do.

However, since I’ll be more heavily relying on peer-to-peer exchanges from now on, I’ll likely have my bank account flagged for receiving weekly payments from randos on the internet, making it fairly foreseeable that I’ll be losing my bank account in the coming months as well.

Fundamental rights violations aside, the amount of complete nonsense work – and with that costs – this system creates both for the Government and private institutions is absolutely astonishing. If there ever was a true bullshit job, compliance officer would no doubt be it.

It’s time we end the global discrimination complex inherent to the financial system in which we are all guilty until proven innocent, only to upkeep an inefficient system that is useless in preventing crime but formidable for imposing mass surveillance on the people.

So no, I will not "kindly assist you" in surveilling me, and if I die on this hill.

Until then, shill me your favorite tools to pay my bills in bitcoin 👇

I learned a little more about why people have such a hard time with bitcoin's "intangibility" while talking to my mom last night.

I asked her what it was like when credit cards were invented, and she explained that before electric cards there was something called a "charga-plate":

This was a metal rectangle you would present at shops, which would be pressed into paper to create an authenticated artifact of the transaction.

The precursor to charga-plates was just regular paper checks. In either case though, the mental model is the same, and credit cards simply extended the same mental model of having some physical cash in the bank (whether or not that is strictly true), and authorizing someone else to talk to your bank and pull some out.

Bitcoin completely breaks this mental model. The problem isn't that it's intangible, because we've been using intangible money since the 16th century. The thing that breaks people's minds is that it is intangible, and has no custodian.

When you sign a transaction, who are you authorizing, and to request money from whom? It really doesn't make any sense from the legacy money perspective to authenticate ownership of a UTXO with cryptography, broadcast it to an etherial network, *pay* one of several miners to include your transaction in a "block" (?) so that the math money can be split and some handed to your counterparty.

Anyway, I think this difficulty might exist for nostr as well. Credentials authenticate you with the account holder, but keys authenticate your content with the reader. To make this worse, users have to custody their keys, making them the account holder and custodian — and when they log in to an application, they have to ask themselves permission to create self-authenticating messages! Weird.

Kyle-GolfProCoach 1y ago 💬 2

Would something like a tapsigner or other NFC tag type device cover the mental hurdle, you still gave the physical appearance like the charga-plate

For those who've known us for years, the business training events we used to travel to OZ for and which helped us sell our management business years ago is holding an intro event.

It is a 1day free session on the latest business improvement and optimizing strategies including some of the latest AI tools. They usually only bring it to Auckland occasionally but this year they are coming to most of the NZ centers so get along if you have or are looking to start a business and make the most of the chance without having to go to OZ initially like we did.😉
