Oof
So I started out ignorant and buying kyc, eventually i learned better and started buying in small chunks on robosats. Bisq was a bit too complicated for this hobbit and I've never had issues with robosats,so i continued that way. It requires a lock up fee to get started so maybe move some of your sats you get on here to a wallet you can transact with via lightning like aqua wallet. Robosats has a sort of multisig that ensures both parties are getting what was agreed upon before the funds are allocated. I believe they recently updated and allow you to run your own robosats server. Regarding Monero, I've only yet discovered Trocador as a means of swapping lightning for monero, i havent ventured much into more direct nonkyc options but im sure they exist.

I've never had difficulty quitting but I come back to it every few years. I've taken up the 2mg on! pouches recently. Ive heard that the most effective method is hypnosis

I use a Monero centered client called Garnet but it doesn't gut out lightning zaps, just adds xmr zaps in addition

I was the most angry with Monero right before the light bulb moment.

I find myself at a fork in the road on #Nostr . Do I try and speak against the growing popularity of buying #KYC #bitcoin , or do I distance myself from the simps and mind my own business? Do I sit and watch children play in traffic or do I make them feel stupid so as to make sure they don't do it again? It's really a moral problem for me. And to all the "innovators" who have made bitcoin more user friendly while giving the government free access to otherwise innocently ignorant people, all while being worshipped as heroes, just fuuuuuuck you.

No need, they've already started, and have automated systems to handle the majority of the inbound data. 20 years from now, they will have that information nice and organized, ready to knock on your door and force you to give account for every unreported zap. We have nostr sites created by devs on here that track how many zaps youve accumilated.

Tattoos are being used to kyc you. Paired with surveillance state tech, you'll need to do more than just hat and mask up.

Im sure fiatjaf would have tightened up his practices a bit had he known he would be targeted. Normies couldnt care less and will never consider their problems a symptom of their laxity, however, a well thought out threat model and privacy practices will do more than you suspect. Its tough though, ive had this account for less than a week and have already had 3 accidental leaks, whether that be vpn downtime, non anonymous tips through an old kyc wallet, geolocation,etc.

Another reason why we need privacy and online anonymity, because rights mean absolute orc shit. Also, didn't realize brit cops didnt have guns. Why'd he let them in? They ask for a cup o tea?

It seems that the test assumes that if I strongly disagree with an idea, it means I want the government to interviene.

I won't claim that I discovered the legendary berkshire blue amenita, but I'll be interested to see what this becomes in a few days 👀
For the mushroom enthusiast, this would be the equivalent of finding the arkenstone.

Japan screams cause their house of cards fall down. Other countries scream cause Japan holds US treasury bonds and expects to sell. Other countries sell in hopes to beat US market open.

You should yes, sent you some, test it out. There might be a transfer minimum. You might want to wait until you have a certain amount, then use something like trocador to convert lightning to monero for cake wallet, but once again, getting ahead of myself.

2024-08-05 05:38:07

I'm all for wearing face masks in public again. Most people see it as compliance with tyranny. I see it as another surveilance state inconsistency, allowing me to walk around anonymously. Add a ball cap and some #privacy glasses and you got yourself some #ftg apparel.

Ok, amethyst is great, stick with that unless you want to use primal with built in wallet (it will ask for email confirmation but just create a temp email with https://temp-mail.org/ ). Regarding a zap wallet, im not sure breez integrates too easily. For receiving zaps, minibits is an ecash option that gives you an lightning lnurl address to save to your amethyst profile. For NoKYC sats, i would highly recommend robosats. If you are new to btc, don't mix your nokyc with kyc coins.

I would first get out of global view, second i would follow a few hashtags im interested in such as #privacy #bitcoin #monero #nostr #grownostr #plebchain #biblestr etc..follow people you like from there

Alright:
1. What client are you using to access Nostr and what device?
2. What zap wallet are you using? I don't see one available on your profile to test zap.
3. Did you find a good nonKYC exchange yet?

Only until bitcoin can fix its privacy problem. Gold doesnt make sense to me as no commercial cashier is going to know what to do with it, maybe if you are dealing directly with the store owner, but not otherwise. Something that you can convert to digital fiat is the best and most practical option. I prefer monero for simplicity over lightning or liquid which need extra effort and know how to operate privately.

The majority will do whatever the government tells them to do to get their comforts back, only those who are prepared will be able to weather the surveillance state. I suspect that the vast majority of people, including plebs on here, will offer very little resistance before deciding to take it in the ass. The fact that kyc bitcoin is talked about as a valid option on here has brought me to this conclusion.

They think they are going to catch divergent activity from simps who fall for the bread and circus? That's adorable. #privacy #nostr

I was driving through hillbilly country this evening and found the only gas station for miles cozied up within a mountain pass. It was an old fashion mechanical gas pump. When I went in to pay, I was surprised to see that they took CashApp pay. I asked if they took #Bitcoin half joking, and they said, "What's Bitcoin?"

I think it's mainly ignorance. Monero is everything they think bitcoin is.

The transactions are private, but the kyc exchange will have record of the fact that you purchased through them. Once it moves, they won't be able to trace it, but you'll forever be on a government list that says you bought some.
