Feeling like making an experiment. I wanna feel and give love to this wonderful community at #nostr. The commitment: I'm gonna quit #smoking tomorrow. For every cigarette I don't smoke I'm gonna give 10 SATs to some open source project. That's 1000 SATs/day. Maybe it does not sound like much, but I'm a 3rd world guy, so for me, it adds up. But I feel it's gonna come back as love and support from you all. Let's give it a try!!!!! #freedom #support #love

Meet the backyard. I feel satisfied by it and all the experiences lived here (with my 3 yr old and life partner) what more can I ask for? Nothing. The fiat mine days are feeling like a weight I wanna leave behind. #btc will help me accomplish that. Hope you all find your place in this world. Nothing else matters. #love #family and #friends.

Turn to your community folks. Or take Thoreau's advice: "When he has obtained those things which are necessary to life, there is another alternative than to obtain the superfluities; and that is, to adventure on life now, his vacation from humbler toil having commenced."

Unfortunately there's a level of inconvenience I cannot bear.
- banking app won't work without gsf (I need the app because that's the only way to get tokens for wire approval)
- Garmin because I train and need to upload tailored trainings to my watch (that I solely use during workouts)
- private medical insurance app needs Chrome (yes that's right) installed. Even though I take all permissions away (even network) it demands chrome for login/working.
-WhatsApp (I only converted 5 contacts to signal)
That's pretty much it
So far, second profile is OK by my standard

2024-02-17 13:47:51

Hi #grapheneos community! Question: if i need to install Garmin Connect, Google play services (for some banking apps) and whatsapp, wouldn’t it be better to have an iphone with all that on one hand and a #grapheneos phone without that kind of cr*p on the other? Thanks!!!

I would love to say that you can do 'X' or 'Y' and have a privacy respecting OS on your OPPO. But I'd be lying. If you want privacy, stick to your phone till you sell enough things or save to get a Pixel 6 or newer. Then flash graphene os, put as minimum apps as you need, and you'll be where you wanna be. Bear in mind that privacy is a journey. You don't do A B C and be done with it. It's an ongoing mindful effort that, in the end, is worth your while. All the best, and reachoutI if in need.

Some good ones migrated from blue bird to mastodon, but we should find ways to incentivize nostr adoption. Making it easier to find those content creators would help a lot. I don't mean economically since zaps are mind blowing concept. I'm thinking about easier ways to connect creators with (potential) followers.

2023-07-07 23:54:00

Please don't take this the wrong way, but I feel like #nostr needs to improve content quality. I don't see full posts or content on topics (other than btc, which is great). Maybe categories, topics or something like that could help. What do you think?

Dude, Apple has to go. You can't even set a custom ringtone to third party apps. And that awful iOS dock that will not go away. Android (GrapheneOS) fixes this.

Glad this topic is being mentioned. Privacy is a must. Keep in mind that GrapheneOS and CalyxOS are different in many ways. Calyx still uses google services by default, and lacks frequent security updates. This is not the case forma Graphene, since BY DEFAULT,there are no google services installed. Please do check with each dev team before installing. Stay safe! (And stack sats :) )

- First sats bought on binance
- Learnt that “not your keys, not your coins”, so I transferred to paper wallet
- kept buying and also did some staking with Luna
- lost my Luna (not much) and kept stacking btc
- bear market came, bought every damn dip using kyc (exchange)
- bought a ledger nano, transferred from paper to that
- ledger fiasco, bought #Jade
- made a multisig
- left kyc exchanges, now buying non-kyc, on my way to that whole coin.
Baby steps…

Some lessons are learned in the heat of practice. Never should I’ve trusted a closed source, multi-coin product. I always turn to FOSS every chance I get, but I was too much of a beginner and fell for their good marketing campaigns. Now, with the power of open source looking after my sats i can finally be in peace. The way I store my assets and my values are aligned.

Ledger having a backdoor for the govt to seize my sats (that cost me a great deal to stack) is my worst fear and the reason that got me to making this multisig wallet.

2023-06-07 02:04:22

I succeeded in creating a multisig wallet with sparrow, #[0] jade and ledger. Exported the wallet in order to safely back up that file. Now waiting for fees to be mercyful in order to test it out with a little amount of sats… feeling more peaceful now that I know that sparrow and Jade are watching my six just in case ledger pulls something naughty (or the govt or whoever gets their hands on their FW)…

If I had paid it with credit card they would’ve charged me 350usd in taxes for it (that’s More expensive than the mk4 itself!!). I’d paid it for my peace of mind (sats airgapped). But I don’t have that option now…

So my #coinkite mk4 came to my country faster than expected. But due to customs regulations I can’t get it (among other things they need me to pay for it with credit card or PayPal; I bought it with the hardest money: btc). Any other option for cold storing my ledger funds? Thx!!!
