It'd be cool if you added more discovery to the app - There's already lots of good apps on there, I'd like to be able to find stuff more easily. Even more so if you add more apps.

I really don't think you have to assume you lost your nsec, there's been lots of people who lost follows for just data inconsistency reasons, client incompatibility, things like that.

I've lived in Switzerland for 3 years, I really recommend it!
Nature around here is beautiful - It's in the middle of the alps, so you have a lot of big and small mountains nearby. There's also many lakes between the mountains you can go boating or swimming in. In winter there's great access to skiing. Here's some photos from Lucerne / Lake Lucerne and Mt. Pilatus for flavor. 🤩

Local life is extremely safe and crime free - Even the largest cities like Zürich feel safe at night, which is important to me at least.
Switzerland as a country is very Bitcoin friendly: Lugano has made Bitcoin legal tender. Zug is nicknamed "crypto valley" - Sadly that's mostly due to a lot of shitcoins incorporating there, but they do that because the legislation is very friendly and tax rates are low. Which is also something I appreciate.
Income potential in Switzerland is high by international standards - It's roughly comparable with secondary US cities, but the quality of life here is much better! I make a low six figure income working as a programmer here. For types of jobs it's mainly big corporate healthcare / finance / mechanical engineering. Although you can also find some cool Bitcoin and freedom tech companies such as Relai or Proton that are based here.
Switzerland has low taxes by OECD standards, although not quite the absolute lowest globally. I pay around 20% income tax and social security combined. There is no capital gains tax, but there is a (very small) wealth tax. You can sell your Bitcoin without incurring any taxes. But you do need to declare how much Bitcoin or other assets you have, as you're taxed on total wealth.
The only real downside I can cite is high cost of living - The largest cities are like San Francisco levels of gentrification. You spend the equivalent of $28 eating lunch out, and $3k/mo renting. It's not so bad if you have a local salary, I still feel like my income goes pretty far. But you're absolutely not remote working or something from here, that's for sure.
However you get what you pay for in Quality of Life. 🤙

I also tried restoring my current Cashu.me wallet in https://v2alpha.nutstash.app/ and AFAICT it doesn't work? At least I put in the words and the same Mint (https://mint.minibits.cash/Bitcoin), and it didn't find any balance.

I looked into this myself. This is not possible AFAIK, as the VPN apps want to proxy all your traffic, so they fight each other.
But I found a quite nice workaround, which is to do this:
1. Run just Tailscale on my phone.
2. Run Tailscale on my home server.
3. Set my router to use Mullvad as Wireguard proxy.
4. Set the phone to use the home server as exit node.
That way you can VPN back to your home server, but you also get IP privacy to the phone at the same time.

Are you conservative about changes, or do you want to eff with the block size limit? I have a lot of sympathy for ossification, but if you believe that you should keep the current block size. Because we know Bitcoin works today, and you shouldn't fix what isn't broken. All updates to consensus code are risky, and should be avoided as long as possible.
I'm not a core dev, so take it for what it's worth, but altering the block size feels 10x more reckless than even the most risky soft forks being talked about now (I.E drivechains, OP_CAT et cetera). That alters the entire economics around using L1 for miners, hodlers and everyone else. Nobody could possibly predict all the consequences of doing that ahead of time. Which IMO means you shouldn't do it.

Me personally I'm a threads hater... It's basically just a blog post split into > 20 different chunks. The reading experience on Twitter was terrible unless you used TwitLonger to turn it back into a continuous text again.
Nostr has long form content which obviates the need to do this in the first place. Having the thread as a single article in markdown with headlines and such is about 1000x more pleasant to read IMHO.

What's the difference between "de-platformed" and "silenced at will"?

2024-01-11 17:12:41

My thinking on the ETFs are: They're not made for me or people like me, but people who are unable to self custody for whatever reason. The way I'd like to take the ETF discourse is like: Yes, you should self custody but if you can't yet what's the least harmful set of training wheels you can put on?
I've thought about this for a bit, and I think the most important aspect is that you get a ETF with direct withdrawal on chain: So that when you do learn to self custody, you can do so without selling and re-buying your stack, and potentially giving away 20-30% of it as capital gains tax. You can also withdraw in an emergency to "run the bank".
I think odds are pretty good that if we get one ETF to add direct deposit/withdrawal all of them will have to. ETFs list on the same stock exchanges and are very competitive, they just can't afford to be behind their competitors in features.

I've two pieces of feedback:
- It's annoying when you go into replies in the feed, and then back, the position in the feed is not kept. This makes it annoying to read through the feed.
- Have you considered adding web of trust the way Coracle does it? I honestly find it hard to use any other web client these days as comments are otherwise full of airdrop spam.

IMO it's just that RoboSats uses Lightning - If you already have a channel open it doesn't get more expensive to make trades with it, even if on-chain fees spike.
That being said you eventually need to open/close channels and swap out to cold storage and such, this does get pricier.

From my end things look pretty alright on RoboSats? I just had a look at the 24 h mean premium: It's 3.06%, that's pretty normal in my experience, it's usually in the 2-3% range.
My main pain point right now is I'd like to swap out, but my effective fee rate to do that is like 1.5%, so I'm waiting until I stack some more sats first. 🙂

Web of trust would work: You can make any number of npubs, but if nobody you follows followed them, you can hide them.
This is implemented in Coracle as of a few days ago, works great to get rid of shitcoin spam. It's just as effective against any form of throwaway account though: If the new key has no following it won't be seen.

2023-10-18 15:19:52

Web of Trust on Coracle is really great, thanks @nprofile…8rcn ! Finally no more airdrop reply guys. Every client should implement this.

* Firefly III - Great auto personal budget app, use it all the time for both Bitcoin & Fiat accounting.

Maybe a web of trust would be a good idea? I.E. hide replies that are not followed by anybody you're following.
