When do you put your Christmas tree 🎄 up?

If you had to live with a someone from Nostr for 2 days who would it be?

I remember how upset some people got back in February of this year when BlueWallet announced they were shutting down their custodial Lightning node.

BlueWallet got accused of conspiring to rug their users, and there was a lot of bad information circulating, for example that the entire app was shutting down, or that they were no longer supporting the Lightning network.

They even gave their users about 3 months to withdraw their sats from custody and still a nonzero number of people found out too late that they could no longer access their wallets, because they didn’t get the memo. I did my best to get the word out.

Ultimately, I think this was a good decision on their part, even if they didn’t do the best job of communicating to their users. They had built their LNDhub.io node in the early days as an experimental feature. They never intended to be a bank, and didn’t want to be in the business of holding user funds indefinitely. It was about demonstrating the potential of the technology and encouraging other users and developers to build on it.

There is no room for complacency in bitcoin. Your funds are ultimately your responsibility, and when you pass that on to someone else because it’s easier, you are exposing yourself to more risk and potential for loss, but there really isn’t anyone else to blame.

Stay safe out there. 🫂⚡️🤙

iOS folks with zaps enabled are able to do the % donation, is there a certain percentage that would get you there?

I'd encourage you to use Phoenix if you like a mobile experience. You can still (for now) use Alby's lightning address, but then transfer your Alby wallet balance to Phoenix on occasion so that you'll maintain custody.

Transferring will just mean generating an invoice in Phoenix and paying it with your Alby wallet.

Transfer on a regular basis so that you wouldn't be hurting if you lose access to the funds held on Alby. That amount is probably around the amount of cash that you'd be feel comfortable carrying in a physical wallet/purse.

Today is the first day in the States where I feel it’s appropriate to put up Christmas decorations. For others who derive joy having Christmas decorations up all year long, in the wise words of Sheryl Crow “If it makes you happy, it can’t be that bad”.

And I restored your moderator permissions too. You’ll need to logout and back in for them to kick in 🐶🐾🫡

Image restored! Thank you! 🐶🐾🙏🏻🫂💜

Done 🐶🐾🫂

You have one. 🐶🐾🫡 I can restore it

Do you have media? Can you check?

Yes, that’s why. Do you want me to delete your account so you can proceed and then add moderator permission again? 🐶🐾🫡

Yes, but maybe it shouldn’t like I did for npub/note/nevents.

How did Twitter handle this? Did URLs factor in into the 140 limit?

Happy Thanksgiving for the Jacks guys, and let’s not forget the Shawn’s Sean’s Shaun’s ! 😇😅

Not so sure about privacy. DDG is apparently just a skin on Bing.
