We need an alternative to YouTube on Nostr.
#askNostr How realistic is this idea?
Nostr for profiles. An open-source, self-hosted frontend/app allows users to view subscriptions and play videos. No reliance on big tech clouds for video hosting; instead, it uses torrents. Users download the video via torrent (the frontend handles this automatically). Content creators seed their own videos, while other users can also assist by seeding the torrent files. There are no ads, users pay 1 sat to view a video. Content creators can share some of these sats with others who help seed their videos.

It's becoming ridiculous how many Bitcoin-related apps I have to install and deal with just to use #bitcoin.
- BlueWallet for Multisig
- GreenWallet for Liquid
- ZeusWallet for Lightning and on-chain Taproot
- Minibits for eCash
- Peach for P2P on-chain
- Robosats for P2P lightning
- BoltzExchange for swaps
These are just the basics, in my opinion.
Advanced users, also known as "paranoid crypto-anarchists", will also need to install:
- Bitcoin Core Node
- Electrum Server
- Mempool
- WasabiWallet for on-chain coinjoins
- Multiple custodial LN wallets for mixing
Even the shitcoiners who are into ordinals/inscriptions would also need a separate wallet app for that.
This growing list of apps makes it increasingly complex and time-consuming to manage. And don't get me started on #nostr...
Is an all-in-one bitcoin mega-app the solution? Thoughts?

When SHTF and governments start cracking down on all #bitcoin holders, labeling them as terrorists or "threats to democracy", how are you planning to get through airport security without your hardware wallet getting confiscated and be forced to surrender your sats?
Think about it. Carrying around a hardware wallet is like flashing a neon sign saying "I've got Bitcoin". Even SeedSigners have become too popular and obvious.
You can store your seedphrase in your mind instead, sure, but how are you going to spend your coins when you get where you're going? You need a strategy that:
1. Doesn't draw attention.
2. Is easy to carry around.
3. Can be quickly replaced.
My approach is to have a brain wallet and two GrapheneOS devices. One of the devices is offline-only, it just handles transaction signing (I call it my "GrapheneSigner"). The other device is internet-connected and will broadcast the transaction to the network.

Any step you take towards greater #privacy is a step in the right direction. However, adding privacy measures on top of stock #android are largely ineffective. Stock Android is pure spyware, and all Google services and apps are spying tools.
It's also not a great idea to download #nostr or #bitcoin apps from the Aurora Store. If the apps are #opensource code, use 'Obtanium' instead, this allows you to download .APKs directly from their GitHub source.
You can still get services like Google Maps and fingerprint unlock working fine, I'm not sure why you'd think they wouldn't work. Uh, #grapheneOS is just a hardened version of Android that's stripped out all the Google shit, but you can still install them back.

This is my current #grapheneOS setup.
I have three distinct profiles on my phone, each serving a specific purpose.
𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲: This is my daily driver, free and open-source apps only. It has everything I need for my daily needs. For privacy reasons, I've excluded #bitcoin and #nostr related applications from this profile to maintain a low-profile and avoid leaking my online identity if someone were to snatch the phone out of my hands.
𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘆 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲: This secondary profile is designed as a decoy. I've installed a bunch of normie apps to make it more realistic, and some closed-source ones that I occasionally need. I rarely use this profile. I only switch to it when absolutely necessary, if you know what I mean.
𝗖𝘆𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗽𝘂𝗻𝗸 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲: This is where my true online identity lies, and where all the bitcoin and nostr apps reside. TOR, E2E chats, secret notes, and files are all here. I only access this profile when I'm alone and confident it's safe to do so.
All profiles have different passwords, obviously. Fingerprint disabled. And I've customized the color scheme of the menus for each one of them, so I can easily tell which profile I'm on.
While inside the Decoy Profile, you cannot see the installed apps from the other two profiles, but you can see that there are indeed two additional profiles on the device. I've taken extra steps to obscure this information by changing the profile picture on all three profiles to solid dark color that blends with the UI, and removed the profile names by using a invisible character, making them appear identical (i know it's not 100% fool proof but it's the best we can do).
All profiles have a pure black wallpaper, and the home screen has no icons, folders or widgets (except on the Decoy Profile). To access an app, I simply scroll up and open it from the default drawer, which displays all installed apps on that profile. This approach saves battery life and adds a slight bit of privacy.
Each profile has its own VPN running continuously, using different IP addresses, with killswitch turned on. All my free and open-source (#foss) apps are installed via Obtainium (aka downloads straight from the source). The closed-source 'normie' apps used in the Decoy Profile are from the Aurora Store (aka downloads from Play Store without needing an account).
Every app installed has most of its permissions stripped away, leaving only the absolute minimum required. Storage and contact scopes are always used.
Microphone, camera, NFC, bluetooth and location services, always turned off, unless absolutely needed for a brief moment.
Finally, I have disabled auto-updates on all apps and the operating system itself (by disabling 'System Updater' app). I want to be in control of my device, I choose when to update. I can't risk crowdstrike-like updates, so I wait a few days before updating.

It depends whether you're syncing a large number of files and making numerous changes on a regular basis. There's an option in the settings that allows it to only sync when your phone is charging, which may help resolve your battery issue.

Flash drives and SSDs are quite affordable nowadays yeah, but internal storage for devices remains costly.
For instance, the Pixel 8 starts with 128 GB internal storage, if you want the 512 GB model, you'll have to pay almost twice as much. You can't add a microSD card to it, so you're essentially stuck with what you purchase initially. This issue is common in most premium laptops and tablets aswell.
About Handbrake, you should be using the GPU for encoding (if you have an NVIDIA card, choose the codec ending with 'NVEnc'), it will significantly increase the speed.
I'd rather not spend $200 right now, compress the files instead, and get more sats with that money.

If you're wondering how I sync my files between my #grapheneOS phone and my #linux desktop without using cloud services, the answer is by using an #opensource software called 'Syncthing'. It synchronizes the files locally, meaning that they are transferred directly from one device to another over a local network, automatically and instantly.

UK authorities have started arresting citizens over their social media posts.
All of you that have a real name and photo associated with your posts, good luck. It might be wise to educate yourself on #privacy matters and practice good operational security (#opsec). However, I'm afraid it may already be too late for most of you.
The most insidious form of censorship is not when big tech shadowbans your posts or deletes accounts, but rather when you are barred from posting altogether out of fear of arrest. #Nostr can't fix that.
Fortunately, those of us who value privacy, often referred to as "privacy paranoids", have been preparing for this eventuality for quite some time.

The AVIF format might be the future, however, it currently holds only 0.2% of the market share, and lacks compatibility with most image viewer software. I recommend WEBP instead.

Convert all your photos and images to the efficient WEBP format, using 95% lossy compression setting. This will significantly reduce file size while maintaining excellent visual quality.
In most cases, you won't notice any difference in image quality (unless zooming in a lot), and file sizes will be reduced by over 90%~.

It depends on your relays and the content you don't want to miss out. Some relays have filters and censors. Some specialize in specific niche topics that not all users subscribe to. Personally, I prefer to use a a lot of relays rather than risk missing some post or vice versa. In the past, I've used fewer relays, haven't noticed any difference in speeds, #nostr has always been kinda slow. Some clients feel faster, smoother, and less buggy than others tho.

Uhm, it seems that most #nostr users use an average of 5 relays. Why aren't more people opting for 30+ relays like me? The only way to ensure that you don't miss a single post from any user, or vice versa, is to have a significant number of relays, especially the top ones. #asknostr

Switching to #Linux as your desktop operating system, is part of the #Bitcoin journey.

Using privacy apps on top of spyware operating systems like Windows, MacOS, iOS, or stock-Android is pointless, as it's inherently contradictory. If you truly care about privacy, get a #GrapheneOS phone and use #Linux as your desktop operating system.

The desktop operating system market share of #linux continues to rise, now at 4.45%, which is the highest ever.

Linux users continue to be ignored by Proton, with the company opting instead to develop new AI features on Proton Mail that nobody needs, and a new Bitcoin Wallet that no one with 2 brain cells will use.
Why bother implementing end-to-end encryption across all Proton apps if the operating system they run on will screenshot the emails, calendar, files, browser history, and employ AI to snoop through everything, then send it to Big Brother's Microsoft/Apple servers? It's utterly absurd.
Linux should be the top priority for Proton.

The idea that in a democracy, an obviously demented and cognitively impaired individual could be voted into the most powerful position in the world is not only a scary, but also a testament to the absurdity of this system.

My microwave, which I use every single day by the way, has 11 buttons. Never once, in my entire life, have I used any of those buttons besides the "+30 seconds" one. Am I missing something?

All hardware wallets are a scam. You don't need them. You think you do, but you don't. And those who've spent their money on one(or multiple) instead of stacking more sats will figure out the hard way. If you bought a hardware wallet from a company, you have effectively announced to the world, including governments and potential threats, that you own #bitcoin. At some point, they will come after you and your coins. Good luck.

Daily reminder to all the garbage sites that restrict my access due to VPN, ad blocker, geolocation, paywalls, or any other excuse — I will always find a way to bypass your little barriers and gain access. I don't mind the extra effort required.

@npub16r0…z5pl I haven't had any issues with TOR, except that it's mega slow. I can see all the images from user posts just fine. And with my 29 relays, even if some of them block TOR, the others will still get the job done.

Unlike Twitter (and any other mainstream garbage platforms that dumbfucks use), Nostr does not restrict access for users who use VPNs, TOR, or Adblockers. There are no KYC requirements for registration, no retarded captchas or puzzles to impede login, and no need to verify login access through email each time the IP or device changes. On top of all that, it's open-source, and I can self-host my own client.

The best way to stay anonymous online is to not get attached to one pseudonym and start over regularly regardless of how popular you get.

“ The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter. ”

2024-05-07 09:30:57

Democracy always lead to tyranny as Aristotle claimed. Letting people vote will eventually lead the masses to support the rule of tyrants and socialism. The best vote you can make right now is a vote with your money (#bitcoin) and with your feet (exiting).

2024-04-27 10:52:17

No cypherpunk would install a #bitcoin wallet from Google/Apple app stores. Developers shouldn't even waste their time putting them there.

2024-04-26 12:36:36

First, they take half your hard-earned money through income tax. Then they squeeze even more out of you with more retarded taxes on everything you buy or use.
Still not enough, they will print trillions of fiat money anyways, causing inflation, making you even poorer.
You are then forced to become an investor (also known as a gambler), but guess what, they slap insane capital gains tax on that shit aswell.
No matter how much they take from you, it's never enough. You're stuck in a never-ending cycle of being broke, a tax slave of the government, with no easy way out without risking jail time.
Their plan? Keep you poor and reliant on them — to control you.
Democracy can't fix this (obviously).
#bitcoin can't fix this (they will come for us aswell).
What can fix this is a civil war. A war between those who value independence, freedoms, and just want to be left the fuck alone, and those who seek to strip everything away from you—socialists and communists.

The #samourai devs were just a bunch of #monero shitcoiners with zero OPSEC who couldn't keep their mouths shut on Twitter. Imagine caring so much about #privacy and then using bigtech DMs.

2024-04-23 09:06:39

Who in their right mind would launch a #bitcoin wallet in 2024 as closed-source? @npub1ajl…zx3q = Absolute clowns. 🤡

Is Taproot considered part of software maintenance in your opinion? It was an upgrade to the protocol, not some minor bugfix/optimization.

2024-04-21 12:45:59

The only attack vector for #bitcoin is Bitcoin Core developers — a small group of individuals with the authority to approve (merge) code changes and make final decisions on the Bitcoin Core implementation, which accounts for 98% of all nodes.
"B-but you don't have to update." — Bro, then why are people crying about inscriptions, labeling them as "spam", and advocating for censoring transactions? You all allowed it, it's part of the protocol now. Shit like this will happen again in the future if changes continue to be made.
Stop this madness. Ossify the base layer.

2024-04-21 12:01:38

Quit calling it a "spam attack".
It's not "spam" or an "attack".
It's just a bunch of shitcoiners engaging in shitcoinery — and burning millions of $ in the process.
They're simply abiding by the rules dictated by the protocol, rules that were greenlit by all of YOU with Taproot. There's no going back now, there's nothing to fix, and nothing to "filter" (censor).
There's no such thing as free lunch. Sooner or later, these idiots will run out of money and fees get back to normal. We need better L2's.
I couldn't care less about the dumbfucks who are getting scammed by Inscriptions/Runes scams, let them learn the hard way.
Rant over.

Oh no! Some random war somewhere something something drones, i'ma sell all my #bitcoin. Anyways...

We're 21 days away from the #bitcoin halving, yet dumbfucks are putting their money into Reddit shares instead. Complete circus of absurdity. And get this — it's only been a week since the IPO, and the CEO and COO already dumped their shares.
