Privacy, and an unmentioned one, self custody mobile wallet selection and diversity.
I have yet to see one single user friendly, technologically up to date, mobile wallet I can confidently recommend to onboard newcomers.
This also counterproductively diminishes the perceptual difference when they go the custodial route, strengthens coin casino apps, and heightens the "useless and wasting energy narrative". The network needs at least one modern, natively developed, easy to use self custody L1 wallet per major mobile platform.

I have no idea why anyone would want to core functionality of their tools implemented through any other means than local compute.
Even with POW we should aspire to have more distributed mining sites, but at least that only concerns one specific, highly automated use case.
For any design related work remote compute seems all but self sabotage for individuals and collectively viewed alike.

I see these takes too often for comfort, frequently directly associated with some kind of institutional orthodoxy.

He ask about fame, different than talent I suppose.
Skill wise I resent Mozart for his saccharinity.
I can live with Bach, but, probably embarrassingly, I suggest Scriabin or Rachmaninov.
I think Rachmaninov effectively concluded classical composition and fulfilled its premiss and potential.
Scriabin, while I heard some real drivel supposedly written by him, at his most successful sounds completely beyond, and unbound by conventional implements. I think he went to places that few people ever managed to bring something back from in any discipline.

If I may put a spin on this, I have wondered at times, "can I say anything really completely true?"
I wondered whether this had more to do with language or with understanding itself, but any notion ultimately seems to come with one or more caveats, and it can feel futile to explain things at all.

2024-08-01 02:22:56

- reply

I see, that evidently makes it considerably more challenging. I appreciate you taking the time to explain, thanks.
Do you generally see BOLT12 as a practical way to transition Zaps to non custodial transactions, or do you find it too complex for the purpose?

2024-08-01 01:22:04

- reply

I only know of Phoenix for now, at least on iOS. I imagined a first implementation exactly like that, just pass off the offer.
I just think creators want to get paid, but some also really need to protect their privacy, and the current system puts them at an impasse, especially technical newcomers.

Something I would see as the choice and responsibility of the user rather than the client. But thanks for clarifying.

2024-07-31 23:08:58

Understood, but on the Nostr level it just means relaying a slightly different address string, right? Seems simple, why do Nostr clients care about the Zap address format?

2024-07-31 22:51:42

- reply

I understood Alby as only a custodial service, my mistake, I apologize. Still BOLT12 seems like the much simpler solution, or do I miss something here?
I fail to understand what prevents clients from simply giving users free choice over the Zap address type they enter.

2024-07-31 22:47:07

@npub18m7…q955 @npub1zaf…26k5 Where lies the challenge in implementing this:
https://github.com/damus-io/damus/issues/683 , why does BOLT12 have no priority on the roadmap?
Just allow any address string, why filter at all? Leave formatting checks to the wallets.

2024-07-31 21:34:45

- reply

Custodial wallets will likely never offer a sensible KYC-free Zap solution. I would disable Zaps in your case until a suitable Nostr client adds BOLT12 Zap address support and you can directly receive Zap payments in a non custodial mobile LN wallet like Phoenix Wallet.
Cases like yours arguably show exactly why it never made much sense to ship custodial Zaps in the first place and hopefully provide some motivation to add BOLT12 support in Nostr clients rather sooner than later.

To me it makes sense when npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6 argues that protocol level unique basic note, event, IDs maintain simplicity, so pointing notes at other notes for replacement seems like a sensible next step.

@npub1xts…kk5s Phoenix Wallet added BOLT12 support today, but the reusable address format comes with a "lightning:ln" prefix. Phoenix Wallet has supposedly been supporting LNURL too for some time though.
Does the LNURL spec require a "lnurl" address prefix as the Damus Zap address field hint text suggests?
Could Damus Zaps technically work with the current Phoenix Wallet for iOS 2.3.0 BOLT12 address format?

I used no screen protector, I can just say that subjectively the recognition, inertia processing and possibly other parameters outside my technical knowledge made the Pixel 5 touch controls feel distinctly less fluid and fast.
Regarding GOS taking parts out, that mainly referred to everything Play services related, and I found dead ends in the Settings and overall navigation structure because of it. At the time GOS had no option to add back Play services sandboxed, or none that I saw anyway, I think they added that more recently.
I use iPads for very specific productivity apps and tasks, beginning with pen sketching in Freeform and Procreate, to CAD in Shapr3D and recording in GarageBand, Logic Pro after they added that last year. I also enjoy that I can occasionally play some console grade games like RE4 Remake, Alien: Isolation, Death Stranding, since I use no consoles or desktops. I support open source, at least unrestricted software installation in principle, but I know no electronics company that employs that to convincing or subjectively useful results.

Well, in my case Google sells no Pixel hardware in my country. I did make a rather cumbersome import of a Pixel 5 phone to test the GrapheneOS experience, and came away wholly dissatisfied. Touch response felt lacking and the Android UI settings and UI structure hardly made sense to me, particularly with all the parts Graphene takes out.
iPads offer two control schemes that really work for me, touch for browsing, Pencil for sketching, just the touch typing always feels so awkward with the larger form factor. Does newer Android, and GrapheneOS, do anything original to make touch typing on tablets more ergonomic?
Also only iPads can run my current main productivity apps, I have seen no convincing CAD, DAW or drawing apps for Android. Open to suggestions though.

2024-05-16 17:42:11

iPad with Smart Folio for light weight and touch and Pencil focus but awkward typing, or iPad with Magic Keyboard for more convenience but also weight and distraction away from the native control schemes?
