Last Notes npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek Been wondering the same thing, nostr seems pretty quiet these past few weeks. npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek It means "nodes hosted on their infrastructure" like cloud hosting that people purchase. npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek #asknostr what are some techniques #Bitcoin has adopted which were not originally conceived in the Bitcoin space. For example, it is my understanding, but I could be wrong, that main chain has some support for zk proofs, or that it's proposed that it will? I am trying to build the argument that if other blockchains "figure something out" that Bitcoin didn't, Bitcoin can and will just absorb those features. Looking for historical examples of that. npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek Monero maxis haven't heard about lighting, even though the vast majority of Bitcoin transactions occur there. Sending a lightning tx does not reveal your wallet's balance. Lightning transactions are only known by you, the person you sent the funds to, and any intermediary routing nodes. BOLT12 and additional upgrades enhance privacy further. Bitcoin has a ways to go on privacy, but it's getting better. npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek Depends on your client, in nostrudel you can add it to a specific note or make it true for all notes in settings. npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek That's up to the agencies that hold the coin, mostly entirely DoJ AFAIK. Generally the president doesn't ask the DoJ to do stuff, they are supposed to operate independently. Trump tried to pressure the DoJ to send out a letter validating his nonsense election fraud claims and his Attorney General (Bill Barr) was /not/ happy with him about it. Most of the senior DoJ staff threatened to resign over it. Congress could force DoJ to do it, but good luck getting that through the congressional gridlock. npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek Strike, works in most countries. It gives you a LNURL which you can put in your nostr profile. Owned by a Bitcoin maxi, makes it easy for them to buy/sell BTC and convert in and out of fiat, which does matter to a lot of new users. Or Zeus. But then you have to manage liquidity, which is hard to brand new users. npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek FWIW I've tried to zap this post several times from nostr, the zap window just immediately closes. My zaps on other posts work so maybe something is up w your profile settings? Just thought I'd give ya a heads up npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek 10. If you're gonna put up 5 you may as well put up 10. Imagine shipping would be pretty similar too, you're mostly paying for size not weight. npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek This is absolutely a thing that exists and that other crypto systems have solved. You have one "master" key, maybe it's a multi-sig, maybe it's in cold storage, that "master key" signs another key ("everyday use key") validating it as accurate. If everyday key gets compromised, master key makes a new key, signs it, and signs a "revocation" certificate for the original "everyday key". You upload that revocation certificate to a keyserver (or nostr relay or whatever) to let people know about the key change. npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek Remember that zeus is self-custody, so in order to receive zaps you must have a channel open w/ inbound liquidity. The easy way to do that is send X sats /to/ your Zeus wallet (on-chain tx fee of like $1 will be incurred), then send those sats back. Now you have X sats of inbound liquidity. npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek Not sure what you mean about the signing keys part, but you can send & receive zaps w/ zeus and nostr. In Zeus, go to Settings -> Lightning address, you can then put that in your nostr profile like I have in mine :) npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek Trump didn't even pardon the people who stormed the capital in his attempted coup. He didn't pardon Giuliani. If you believe he's gonna pardon Ross I've got a bridge to sell you npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek #zeus is a great self-custody wallet npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek #asknostr is there a way to have multiple #zeus wallets on the same phone? Mainly just want to have identity separation for receiving zaps from two separate nostr addresses. Thanks! npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek Also I believe I found a typo in your FAQ. The first instance of "payments" should be "problems" https://docs.zeusln.app/for-users/embedded-node/faq/#im-having-payments-sending-lightning-payments-with-zeus npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek Installing a react native environment is probably a bit beyond my technical abilities, but if there's some way I can download a beta of an apk that has this feature, I can definitely do testing/feedback on this feature npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek I will just keep the old phone for now and wait for a later version. Thank you for the help! npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek Great link thank you! npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek You can have a more private L1 and auditability, Bitcoin just is very very hard to upgrade at L1. Long-term, I hope we do get better privacy on L1. npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek Crazy idea for #nostr. Websites put their LNURL in their DNS records, a browser extension records which sites you read and how long you are on them. You choose a monthly or weekly donation amount. That amount is sent to sites according to how much you viewed them. npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek GM nostr may today be a good day for you, chase those dreams! npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek #asknostr a printer that accepts #bitcoin which makes custom baseball caps w/ no minimum order and ships to US? npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek Yes. If you want to format the drive (drive is empty to begin with), <1 second. If you want to encrypt 1TB of data.. an hour? Check out veracrypt.fr or LUKS if you use Linux. npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek GM NOSTR Tip for #orangepilling: Don't say the word #bitcoin or #crypto, many people have big negative reactions to those words. Say #lightning, people have no idea what lightning is. Tell people how lightning solves their problem, play to their preconceptions, lightning is fast, it's amazing, it's easy. Pretty soon they're like wow this idea is cool. Now that they think it's cool, you can mention that all this lightning stuff happens on Bitcoin, but because it's confronting an idea they already think (lightning sounds cool!), they get way less defensive and combative, and they are inclined to agree with it because otherwise they'd have to admit they were wrong about that lightning thing. You are using their own cognitive bias against them. I have been using this to great effect telling people about #nostr #grownostr npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek Nostr is pretty far along and already well committed to the whole "every user is not a relay" paradigm. Which is fine, it's probably "decentralized enough". One of the key pressure points coming up is going to be the cost of hosting media for relays and the tendency for relays to centralize a bit as the average relay hosting cost increases due to increased users and particularly increased media. If we integrate a P2P way to store and to distribute media now, we can avoid much of that. For example, we have a NIP for associating a pubkey with a LNURL (lightning address). We can also have a NIP for defining a link to an "external media" which is downloaded via Freenet, Hyphanet, IPFS, etc. Let the client do the work of downloading and re-sharing media content while the relays are responsible for text and links to media. At least for Freenet, you talk to it via your web browser via a localhost port. So a nostr client can easily make links to, upload, and download through it without ever needing to leave the browser. The only thing that needs to be true for that to work is for the user to run the freenet client in the background. Unfortunately, they don't have a client for Android or iPhone, but proxy services (like currently used for media) can help with that. IPFS may be another route, I am less familiar with it. If you're doing nostr dev, this could be something that I think would be on the easier side to implement. I'd gladly contribute to a bounties for it, this is something I'm passionate about. npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek If we assume x number of events per day on the network, the more relays, the fewer events each relay needs to store. Text events are tiny, you can fit all of wikipedia's text on a DVD. If we integrate with other P2P networks like #IPFS, #Freenet, #Hyphanet, etc for storage of media, then space isn't much of a concern. Tor isn't needed, NAT punching protocols exist and are mature, plus IPv6. Think of it this way: Can your phone store all the text from all your social media posts? What about all of your 10 closest friends? Yes? Then this can scale. But you don't need to take my word for it, look at existing P2P technologies which have been doing this kind of routing for years. There's no need to centralize around relays. npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek Would love to see this. On the other hand, Lemmy/AP will never integrate it because their userbase rapidly anti-crypto. Which means nostr will retain this exclusive feature. Which means content creators will flock to nostr. Nostr ftw. npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek #asknostr does anybody actually use the PoW function on nostr notes? If so, what's a reasonable value to set? npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek Welcome! npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek The crazy thing is, #nostr is more centralized and less censorship-resistant than existing P2P technologies that have been out for a decade. #I2P, #Freenet, #Hyphanet, etc. If we make each user also a participant in the network (like Bitcoin was in Satoshi's day as opposed to now where we have outsourced certain roles like mining), we can help avoid this fate better. Nostr could have been built on or leverage these existing technologies, and I hope it talks with them at some point. For distribution of large content (videos, etc), storing things on relays will quickly lead to economies of scale and centralization. Peer-hosted and peer-shared content is the way to prevent that. npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek #Zeus, there is no equivalent.

Zeus npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek No idea but would be helpful if you could post any error messages you get and some more information about what your phone/computer is running, what version, etc npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek #asknostr I have #zeus wallet and I want to onboard other #zeus users. When we first setup their wallet, is there a way for me to open a lightning channel w them with a 50/50 liquidity ratio so they actually have some inbound liquidity to work with? npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek Idea for #nostr, make a NIP to integrate nostr with a lightweight #freenet client and use freenet for media upload/download. Post text to nostr, upload media to freenet. The end result would be a decentralized, censorship-resistant, CDN for all the content you upload to nostr without adding additional burden to existing relays. Thoughts? #asknostr npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek Welcome! Use the search functions to find people and topics you're interested in. Don't be afraid to try new clients, all of your information will transition between them seamlessly. npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek You do though, that's what I'm saying. "Electrolytes" is potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium, chloride. You'd struggle to find foods that don't give you at least one of those. It's like asking "How do you refill your calories if you do workouts?". By eating. Eating does it. Electrolytes as a concept outside of chemistry and science are just a marketing ploy to make you buy gatorade and supplements, nobody needs to try to get any more than they already get through diet unless they are on an extreme workout regimen, like immediately during and after a marathon. npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek That's why I added the caveat of saying the concept itself is sound and needs better representation in medicine. Holistic approaches are the only approaches to health that make sense. Unfortunately, many people who use that label to describe their practice just push supplements with little to no scientific backing to their claims or encourage their clients to avoid proven medical interventions to try the "natural" way at the expense of the patient's health. "Mainstream medicine" (and science) has its problems, but many people I have met who are into "holistic" health have over-corrected to the point of being worse. I'm probably not your target audience, but that's what I hear when I hear that label. npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek re: tracking gains/losses, there are several services (koinly etc) that can do this for you. So long as you're using major exchanges and wallets it should be no issue. npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek Worried about the erosion of rights and liberties in the US?

Based on very cursory research, both the US and Soviet Union had just barely gotten subs to be able to carry nukes, and I am guessing those nukes weren't as capable and well-tested as traditional non-underwater nuke launching platforms. Once both the US and USSR had nukes they could station in the ocean wherever they wanted rather secretly, it became hard to detect them and rather pointless to try to evict them since they'd just move and find another nearby secret hiding spot. If anything, if you spotted an enemy nuclear sub, you'd want it to stay there since you now knew where 1/10th of their second strike capability was located and could use that information to your advantage. In other words, getting the soviets to move their nukes out of Cuba significantly reduced the amount of the US they could "hold at risk" at any point in time. Making them move their nuclear submarines around doesn't. npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek #asknostr are there any task or project management tools for nostr? Thinking of like a volunteer organization being able to list tasks and then zap members when they've completed them. npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek @npub1xnf…lpr5 I got Zeus wallet working with #nostrudel, yay! In my "lightning address settings", I have it set to automatically accept payments on startup. But I also have the always-on LND node function enabled. Opening the app on its own doesn't seem to accept these zaps. "Startup" never happens because the app is always running in the background. Is there a different way I should connect my zeus wallet to nostrudel or otherwise automatically accept zaps? npub12xgsu4nad7np6l3e9x8exf26evs202jqkc2ghnuyw4c7hrda9cmqkf32x5 makeasnek He was literally president.
