If you use a hardware wallet that uses Bluetooth, you should be mindful of these new attacks:
“BLUFFS is a series of exploits targeting Bluetooth, aiming to break Bluetooth sessions' forward and future secrecy, compromising the confidentiality of past and future communications between devices.”

The “third party” doesn’t have access to your password and they can’t gain access to your account with just the 2FA! If for some reason you don’t like yubikeys, there are several open source U2F devices you can also use on https://www.crowdsupply.com/.

You can’t mask the location of your bank 🤷🏾

Imagine that your online banking application was written by third parties with no relationship with your bank; how would you scrutinize it? That’s precisely how you should treat your bitcoin wallets.
Any application that handles or (worse) generates key material should be scrutinized to the highest degree possible.

I just realized that DMs on #nostr are not as private as some people think they are. When you send a DM to someone on nostr, you signal to the entire flock and anyone (with the right tooling) can see who you’re communicating with and the frequency with which you communicate with that account.

🙏 I knew that. How do I signal that I value a particular note? I figure I have to use a different client?

BTW, your lightning address isn’t configured right. Can’t zap you!

Censorship-resistance is the ability to say what you want to say or transact with whomever you want to transact with and not have anyone able to prevent you from doing so.
With #Bitcoin, censorship-resistance is accomplished with an alignment of incentives: miners are rewarded for allowing transaction freedom; proof of work makes it incredibly difficult to be exclusive of anyone using the protocol.
With #Nostr, a relay operator can decide not to store or transmit your messages; there's no mechanism to prevent that from happening but you don't care because another relay will probably store and transmit your messages for you and nothing stops you from hosting your own relay as well.

#nostr may not be censorship-resistant but it is censorship-agnostic.

Did #[0] silently deploy NIP-57 support or do I have to sacrifice my firstborn in order to join the whitelist?

Agreed. There are so many people whose access to the Internet involves the use of NAT and shared IPs. It would be a shame for them to be blocked from using certain relays because someone else abused it.

WTF is this? And it’s enabled by default?

Zapping is great but have you tried paid relays?

Totally forgot that BTCPay Server has support for Lightning Addresses. Updated the Lightning Address on my nostr profile to reflect that!
