Payment services like PayPal or Strike are really doing their best to advertise Bitcoin, whether they mean to or not. Last year, Strike held back a payment I got from overseas, labeled *me* as untrustworthy 🙂, and froze my account. Even after weeks of back-and-forth emails, nothing moved forward.
And now PayPal just decided to hold a payment I received today for 21 days. Their reason? I haven’t used PayPal as a recipient before. They say if I had 10 regular incoming payments, this kind of treatment wouldn’t happen.
Well, that’s not gonna happen. From now on, I’m only accepting Bitcoin for international payments.
Thinking of writing a quick how-to guide—like, how to download a good Lightning app, buy Sats through a connected exchange service, and then use those Sats to pay someone.
Anyone know a super simple app for that? The Lightning wallets are mostly good enough—it’s really the exchange integration, where you can directly buy Bitcoin into your Lightning wallet, that’s the tricky part. Are there any without KYC?

Isn't that a debt with interest? Why else would they offer it if they didn’t make a profit from it?
Riba is any kind of profit that is effortless and at the same time guaranteed, meaning without risk. Lending is effortless, and a contract guarantees profit.

2025-04-16 05:27:06

- reply

Hard question. I don't think so. And even if it did, most people have no other choice. And I don't see the fiat money receiver being involved in some form of riba, which is defined by effortless and guaranteed profit, like with interest. But Allah knows better.
But it's definitely better the less you're involved in this whole fiat system — for yourself and for society as a whole. If I have the choice, I always prefer to be paid in BTC, even if I sometimes incur losses when spending due to volatility.
I was thinking more of these wallet offerings where you borrow cash against your BTC collateral. I know 2 BTC wallets that offer that and 1 popular person who generates profits from his Bitcoin holdings in this way.

Next in line: @npub1wvs…33pu
A new and promising exchange and wallet provider aiming to make "life on the Bitcoin standard" a reality.
Quick first take:
Website and onboarding? Really good.
KYC process? An absolute headache.
I get it — they’re using Sumsub, like a lot of others, so they’re not handling the KYC themselves. But as a provider, you’re still responsible for the partners you work with. Most users probably won’t even realize there’s a third party involved; they’ll just see the process as part of your service.
So yeah, this definitely goes into the review as well.

You only need one buyer, just one, who declares their purchase from you in BTC on their tax return, and then they start tracing the blockchain, find the recipient wallet, monitor it — maybe for 10 years — and if they can link it to you, because you might have made a small mistake over those 10 years, they’ll be at your door.

@npub1yzv…rf8q , @npub1h2q…w8ch , or @npub1wl3…kjnr ... whoever’s responsible for this, you guys need to fix this bug.
Lately, it’s been happening more and more (feels like 50% of the time) that when I zap a note, I don’t get any feedback. I zap from Yakihonne, the waiting dialog pops up, and then it just sits there for minutes.
https://image.nostr.build/9e3c0209aecdb29a24e23616090220d70feb2c5744d47e05c4c26755555b59db.png
In the meantime, I go to the Coinos dashboard and see that the zap actually went through, the Sats were transferred.
https://image.nostr.build/27b6eb2fc6c34d28cff82f7a026b44073387a0c0f051f5a5676e907e3565f171.png
But when I go back to the zap window in Yakihonne, the dialog is still there and it looks like the zap hasn’t gone through. Sometimes it just stays like that for half an hour — I know because I went off to do something else and checked back later.
Sometimes I get an error message saying there was no response, but sometimes I don’t. Either way, there’s nothing to do but close the dialog. And even though the zap went through according to the Coinos dashboard, it doesn’t show up under the note.
I get it, it’s all new and buggy and all that, but this is about payments, and it needs to be fixed. Before I knew about this bug, I accidentally zapped the same amount multiple times until I thought to check my Lightning dashboard — and sure enough, there were multiple zaps in a row with the same amount.
Happy to share more details if one of you reaches out!

You all have probably heard about the incident at Microsoft's AI conference involving Ibtihal Aboussad. There are now rumors that her account has also been canceled on LinkedIn, which is known to be owned by Microsoft. It's no longer there.
Regardless of whether she was deplatformed or if she deactivated her account herself, I will also be deactivating my account there soon. If MS has blood on its hands, I will not acquire customers through their platform and thus earn blood money in my income.
There's a lot of buzz about this right now. I'm going to wait a few more days to see if there's any clarification or additional information. But if it turns out to be true, I’ll be leaving that platform as well.

What always makes me laugh when I see it in movies or on social media:
Americans just crack two eggs in a pan and call it "a meal." 😀
For example, there's a scene in a movie where a guy wakes up in the morning and his wife has made him breakfast. He walks into the kitchen, and she says, "Honey, I made you breakfast." And all you see is a fried egg. 😄
Or a guy says to his daughter, "Sweetie, are you hungry? I'll cook you something." And then he just cracks an egg in the pan and serves it to her after two minutes.
Honestly, man ... Americans. Is that what you call "cooking"? Just an egg in the pan? No tomatoes, onions, or garlic sautéed in butter, maybe some green pepper slices and some sucuk? Not even a little bit of celery or parsley sprinkled on top at the end? We call that Menemen, and it's considered a construction worker's fast food in Turkey.

Not even dried red pepper, black pepper, or at least some salt thrown in beforehand? Just an egg in the pan and then put onto a cold plate? 😂

You know what bothers me about social media in general? These artificial thought and mood worlds that are collectively built, maintained, and defended.
For some, it’s all about constant outrage and doom-and-gloom, while for others, it’s all about the implied success, whether in business or in the superficial (unearned) beauty and lifestyle realm ("posing"). Then there are those who are always in a fit of laughter, from sarcasm and schadenfreude to silly memes.
Nostr isn’t immune to this either. There’s a kind of cult-like worship of developers, lifestyle, and so-called freedom. But overall, these collective moods are anything but realistic; they feel more like a mass delusion, no matter the direction.
All driven by that youthful desire for belonging and recognition.
To be honest, I'm too old to get caught up in those mass narratives and illusions. That just doesn't work anymore after a certain age. Let the kids play.
I stand by my old opinion: real social media is just one-on-one chats or phone calls. At least you get the real vibe of the other person authentically.

Some people love to play the tough guy on social media, hiding behind a fake name and acting all combative, especially here on Nostr. You can toss that nonsense out the window. What we really need aren’t these fake displays of masculinity from attention-seeking, late-blooming kids who are out of touch with reality, but real strategies and tactics for dealing with the world as it is—no matter how limiting it might be.
Anyone can beat their chest like King Kong and shout. Even my 7-year-old can do that. But real men stand out from little boys by navigating the harsh realities of life without cowardly hiding behind fake identities.

What a lot of website operators, even those based outside the Eurozone, don’t realize is that as soon as they offer their products or services to European customers, they fall under European data protection laws (GDPR). The GDPR, with all its details (like a complete privacy policy, cookie consent banner, imprint, etc.), becomes mandatory for them as soon as their website reaches European customers. If they want to avoid this, they would need to actively use technical measures to block Europeans from accessing their website.
I’m not a lawyer and can’t provide specific details, but as far as I understand this issue, negative consequences can hit them as soon as someone is willing to go through the whole bureaucratic process. And that process exists if you ask AI. Just being on the other side of the pond doesn’t automatically protect you from it.

2025-04-01 06:24:47

Well, I guess it's 'game over' for that idea then.
The governments of this planet haven't been able to successfully fight Bitcoin itself, but they've definitely managed to combat the establishment of a circular economy based on it.
Taxes.
On both sides, for consumers and providers. Instead of spouting off dumb, tiring slogans about Bitcoin, we should have focused on making the practical side—like how to handle Bitcoin spending and income from a tax perspective—well-known to the public. But we didn't. Instead, we just kept patting each other on the back for being such great nerds who understand Bitcoin. In theory. Failed.
There aren't even enough usable tools for it, like a simple Bitcoin cash book with fiat tax management. But there are millions of Lightning wallets that only offer a crappy CSV export at best. And they can't even get that right.
@npub1zv7…82ke , I'm talking to you. How come your CSV exports in my tax tool end up showing a -1 sat balance (instead of zero)? I've gone through all the entries manually a thousand times and reached out to you. No response. And that's just stacking. Total fail. Other exchanges also. Crappy CSV exports. Hours wasted.
The glorious Bitcoin community couldn't counter this trick from the governments and just kept burping about "self-custody."
By the way, shameless self-plug, I also offer Bitcoin consultancy services for businesses in my area. The practical side, not the theoretical side. Hardly any business gives a damn about it.
Have you all ever tried to set up a real international small business based on Bitcoin? If not, then just be quiet—you can't really talk about it.
You can't rely on the much-praised anonymization measures either; businesses need to be transparently accounted for. All it takes is one customer on the other side mentioning a Bitcoin purchase from you in their tax return, and you're in trouble. It might be 8-10 years later, but eventually, you'll be in the hot seat.
Just sit down, stack and hodl. And pray that they don't come up with even more crap, like taxes on unrealized gains. Because then you can also forget about hodling. #note1ejq…m5vg

It's true. You can even see this dumbing effect within a single generation.

He could calculate the square root of any large decimal number in seconds with pencil and paper. And I can't do that (anymore).
Well, at least there’s something good about it. We old folks are the smartest generation and won’t be surpassed by any subsequent generation for a while. At most, just by a few autistic individuals in specialized professions. #note1ptd…98fh

We rule this planet Sir. Or have you heard of a dwarf president?

At least you're still human. Not a dwarf or something.

I hope you all realize, that this is KYC'ed. They have your email address, if you pay for their Premium, they have your real name and address. This way, they know exactly to whom this wallet belongs.

Finally, after pronouns, shitcoins, and bottle caps attached to the bottle, we have a concept for a flying car.

Can you feel how Nostr is changing right now? Less of the worn-out Bitcoin slogans, more memes, many new users, more diverse topics ...

I use https://listr.lol/feed for that. It's easier to add people there and you can access your list also in Nostrudel.

Really great tool.

After a few weeks playing it, I think I don't like Civilization 7.
The appeal of the game has always been to rise from the Stone Age to a nuclear power and, in the end, to lay the whole world to waste. Or to launch a space shuttle. That’s no longer possible now.
Sid Meier's team should focus on developing a new "Masters of Orion" instead. This Civilization/Colonization mix just isn't fun.

I'm chill Sir, don't take me too seriously on these topics.

Yeah, you might get the impression that it's mainly about the client rather than the whole ecosystem. Especially when you consider the follow-up question. Primal has always seemed like it wants to create its own platform based on Nostr. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but I don’t think it’s going to be successful unless they get some big-name influencers on board, go for mass appeal and populism, and push out the old nerds who actually appreciate the tech, the protocol, and the ideas behind it. That could work, though. It’s worked before, like on Twitter. Google Plus didn’t make it because it was too complicated for the masses, which is why they shut it down.

Sorry, to break it to you, but zapathons are over. People have become stingier.

An important reason for the decline of societal values. Woke people steer clear of this topic and comfortably sit back in the belief that all men are basically beasts that need to be tamed. ⬇️

Plus we taught men for more than 50 years now the nature of women. How they are, how they feel. But haven't taught the women the nature of men, how they think and feel.
