GM, not new here .. concur with your point re: coexistence.. but the masses won't manage a cliff dive from fiat .. the individual or group that sorts out a digestible transition method will have served the world well.

There needs to be a bridge for POS transactions to speed adoption. We need a lightning debit card that works everywhere, in order to move it along.

Welcome to true control over your phone. Not sure about tap to pay. Depending on your Hardware some banking apps don't work well (CashAPP}.
I suppose you could let Google Pay run on the sandbox and give it NFC access. Not sure.
Missed you in Riga.

An amazing range of freedom experiences this week at #nostriga .. started the week at Anne Frank's house in Amsterdam. Then walked right out the airport in Riga with no one so much as looking at our passports. Would have been vastly different not long ago (see the meme attached). Let freedom reign! Nostr is key to this, and you are all doing amazing work. https://image.nostr.build/caf9261c342c894987d00ae305ff5ec5456eae20d8580c2d2d1a2eed3b6f04d7.jpg

I think the context added from a personal experience is always interesting, but generally won't compell folks to revisit hardened opinions.
It would be interesting to see someone do deeper analysis of how to find the win-win solution for the parties involved.
As an example, 40 years ago, it would have been unfathomable to visit Belfast as a tourist. The 2 sides impacted by the Troubles generally held entrenched positions which fed the actions of extremists on both sides.
Today, it's a great tourist stop of you're in that region. Somehow Senator Mitchell et al. found a way to identify a win-win solution which both sides could sell to their supporters while maintaining face.
NB: These situations are NOT the same. Nobody rationally thinks that. The experiences and mindset of the NI Catholics were not the same as Palestinians. On the other hand, the process by which a MUTUALLY AGREED upon improved situation was found may have some applicability.
This is something that global leadership should have been constantly investigating for the past 25 years. It may take a thorough analysis by an independent thinker on an open platform to push the issue into the mainstream.
There is a win-win solution. There always is. It won't reveal itself easily, and will take more parties at the table than just Israel and the Palestinians. But there is a way.
I look forward to whatever you generate here.

Mobile browser support. At the moment when I send Zaps the sats are pulled from a different wallet than when I receive them (alby). It would be preferable to not have to level them up periodically.

MagicEarth is the solution and it's good enough for most things. Offline maps are a nice feature. The struggle is that the search function isn't as smooth. You need the specific address sometimes.
Overall @GrapheneOS is a good play.

I'll put a vote in for GrapheneOS. It's not perfect and does require a Pixel. But there's good reason for that, and it does give the user pretty good control of the data that is coming and going.

IMHO BTC and nostr have way more to do with being libertarian over statist, and nearly nothing to do with right/left.

Right there with you. Seems like every time I feel like I'm getting around the corner, I have to cash out some sats for a necessary expense. Sucks.
My takeaway is that I'm not operating with sufficient margin.

@npub1xts…kk5s @npub1gcx…nj5z one approach to curating and growing a follows list would be to be able to see the lists / feeds of people we follow in one place. Maybe both a 1st and 2nd degree of separation feed.
It's not an algorithm that sorts and suggests, it's just a way to peer 2 levels up/down. Then new users could pick their primary follows and grow it organically based on their interests. Sifting through Global is as unproductive as the Fediverse was.
The app Nuzzel did a really good job of this exact thing for a few years, through 2020. Its approach was to just pull news postings from friends / follows and their follows. But a better nostr approach would just be to query multiple levels of npubs. Maybe that can already be done?
A feature like that would ease the transition of X users. Thanks for all of your efforts.
