This. It's like saying that owning a precious canvas of a famous painter is a sign of broader artistic experience

Just witnessed an another episode of aggressive caching policy from some client, probably #Nostur.

Someone zapped me and sats went to an lnaddress that I removed MONTHS ago from my Nostr profile.

Unfortunately the address is an LnTipBot address, thus sats are gone.

If you experience something similar with your clients, reach out to devs and signal this stuff.

Good choice, it demolishes your screen time

Domain renewal saga here: finally, after several days in the mempool, the few bucks transaction that I used to renew one of my domains has been included in a block.

MAKE YOUR BUSINESS ACCEPT LIGHTNING TRANSACTIONS!

SETUP nostr:npub155m2k8ml8sqn8w4dhh689vdv0t2twa8dgvkpnzfggxf4wfughjsq2cdcvg, ADD A LIGHTNING BACKEND AND YOU'RE DONE, NO BIG DEAL

Paying onchain fees for few-bucks transactions is annoying

Didn't know, now I know it! And I know I'll do it!

Certainly weak men will arrive after good times. If we assume that Bitcoin will create good times (as I'm pretty convinced it will) then the answer seems straightforward.

I would add also that we cannot avoid it...if ecash were not here we would have something different to make shitcoining possible. Credit and debit systems make shitcoining possible, thus there's no reason to oppose ecash anyways

And then the settings for fertile fiat shitcoin printing will be back again

I agree, although seems rather unlikely that regulators will look out for VPS with ports 5222 and 5269 opened and try to enforce some crazy unlawful regulation to shut them down

Fair enough, the only corner case may be if an attacker collects X nsec (with X being tens of thousands or more) and then in an exact time T he/she runs some script to sign an event that changes the LNaddress for any nsec he/she holds. In that case he/she could quietly wait until someone figures this out and spreads the news a time T+1 This empowers the attacker to steal only the zaps occurred between T and T+1, given that after T+1 people would stop zapping each other as a precaution.

The danger here is possibly bigger from the trust pov rather than economical...am I going to zap someone anymore if I'm not sure that the npub I'm zapping is actually in control of its lnaddress?

Just riffing btw, but clients where you login with plain nsec are possibly dangerous, I agree

1,2,3,4 completely on point. With regards to 5 I wonder how someone could get in possession of sats by simply stealing a nsec. I guess that if I were to receive some zaps but the amounts are not going to be reflected in my wallet I would at least think that something is going on.

Clearly there's a point for services like npub.cash where lnaddress is liked to npub, but only a small subset of Nostr users actually adopt these kind of services.

What am I missing?

This already happened a few times, actually in the US. Nonetheless, that's a rea issue. Stop using damn mainstream messaging apps and start using privacy orientesd ones like Simplex and XMPP protocol

For if very very newbie WoS or Primal, else Phoenix. Else Breez. Else Zeus.

Are you really recommending to KYC to use a simple lightning wallet?

For starters I would suggest Primal (so that you have both Nostr and custodial LN wallet). Clearly Primal wallet is custodial and asks you some questions, but you can always use dummy email etc. for that.

Wheneveer I start thinking that Bitcoin and bitcoin are winning, I look at my monthly expenses and businesses who I interact with. Less than 5% accept bitcoin. And I'm still very biased towards the bitcoin economy. We're very early, but it's time guys...we shall make the sats flow in the real economy.

Plus, we need to make merchants accept lightning. I don't want to pay onchain fees to renew a 10 bucks domain ever again because some famous domain provider accepts bitcoin but still does not have LN payments in its BTCPayserver endpoint.

End of rant. XD

Wow, thanks a lot for the references. Keep it up!

YES.

These are basically giant rats, certain zones in Europe are full of those

I'm finally going to try the Nostr Obsidian plugin, created by nostr:npub10a8kw2hsevhfycl4yhtg7vzrcpwpu7s6med27juf4lzqpsvy270qrh8zkw and that's very very nice to be able to directly push long form written content to nostr!!

One question for you nostr:npub10a8kw2hsevhfycl4yhtg7vzrcpwpu7s6med27juf4lzqpsvy270qrh8zkw, since you're working on nostr integration on a desktop app: is there an another way to authenticate on a Nostr desktop client other than directly inserting the privkey in the config files? I'm thinking about something like Amber, but dunno if that already exists for linux desktop.

That feature would be amazing!
