I haven't used keet in the last couple months, but I was struggling with the UX tbh. Having to individually select and send photos/videos and having to sit with the app open as it takes minutes to send the files wasn't ideal. The main usecase for me was private file sharing.

The difference I see (not a US voter), is that the 2 on the left seem to have a greater chance at ushering in a bitcoin age to their own detriment (in regards to their power, not necessarily their prosperity). Is single issue, bitcoin voting a bad idea?

That NOSTR removes censorship power from small groups of people.

Well, it let me create this note... I am confused haha. This is part of the issue of NOSTR for me, unexpected errors with no indication why.

2024-07-23 13:23:17

I keep getting this when trying to create a new note on primal, anyone have any idea why? I am still able to quote & reply.

For some reason I was unable to post this via primal, and had to use amethyst. I kept getting an error that the note couldn't be posted.

I'm now reading Dalio's 'Principles for dealing with the changing world order'
Hits different with the current state of US politics. Talks of civil war...etc
Great follow on read from The Sovereign Individual. Reality is harsh, but it's better to live in reality than in a fantasy world.

What's the go to method for storing and using an nsec? Password manager? Offline only and write it to login to new clients?

I just got the 8 a few days ago. Feels like a big upgrade from a OnePlus 9. Smaller screen is actually a plus for me too.

I'm on android. I ended up providing 'kyc' 😉

2024-07-20 11:54:38

Urgh, I just found out I have to KYC to use lightning with primal. Can someone recommend me an alternative client for android that is as clean as primal.

2024-07-19 15:25:13

Switched to primal from openvibe/plebstr. This is a way cleaner app, that so far seems to actually function properly. Perhaps I'll be on here more now..

2023-08-20 11:16:32

Are BIP119 and drivechains actually being talked about more and gaining popularity, or am I just deeper into the tech echo chamber?

2023-08-20 11:15:11

Why is my followers list on here so janky? The number is always changing and when I click someone in my list it sends me to a different persons page.

Nevermind, I just had to do a robot test thing 😅

2023-08-12 00:36:21

Just got this on twitter, never seen it before, I can't seem to close out of it, are we now forced to kyc to use Twitter? https://nostrcheck.me/media/public/nostrcheck.me_4456934678795230241691800533.webp

Luke, are you a supporter of CTV or drivechains? Or any other BIPs? Trying to learn more.

2023-07-28 00:46:53

Who is a supporter of CTV? Is it time to attempt another soft fork yet?

2023-07-15 15:48:39

Big up blixt. Big fan. Hopefully they spend some of the cash on UI design as it's a little less clean than breez and phoenix.

2023-07-07 21:42:37

This is every way you can acquire bitcoin, am I missing any?
-Buy on exchange.
-Mine it.
-Direct P2P purchase.
-Sell goods/services for BTC.
-Lightning channel fees.
-BTC cashback, ie. Satsback.
-NOSTR zaps.
-Podcasting 2.0, ie. Fountain App.
-Lending for interest (not recommended).

So we will probably sideways 31k I guess then.

Is this related to my followers not correctly showing? The number I have changes everytime I refresh it, but never actually shows the correct total amount of followers.

So far plebstr is my favourite android client.

2023-07-03 00:36:15

I think plebstr is a better android client than amethyst tbh. Deserves more promotion.

2023-07-02 18:52:51

Nearly 2 weeks of consolidating around $30k.

A step by step guide to share with no coiners, so you don't have to waste hours of your time.
Step 1:
Read the following document. In 15 minutes, it covers almost every topic relating to Bitcoin.
https://george203.substack.com/p/bitcoin-basics?sd=pf
Step 2:
Read the bitcoin whitepaper. The original document published by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008.
https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf
Step 3:
Watch the videos in this YouTube playlist, in order is best. You can probably move onto step 4 after the first few videos. But be sure to keep watching, as there is a lot you can learn here, in around 24 hours of videos.
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1D6Yv8tqcOJ_3OjzWrvf-XEBq0rys1nI
Step 4:
Purchase bitcoin from an exchange. Below are the best options imo based in the UK, each have different fees for purchases and withdrawals, and different ID verification levels known as kyc.
https://relai.app/ (1-2% buy fee, no kyc for small purchases, no withdrawal fee)
https://peachbitcoin.com/ (2% buy fee, no kyc, no withdrawal fee)
https://www.kraken.com/ (0.26% fee, need kyc, 0.0002 BTC withdrawal fee or free with lightning)
https://nexo.com/ (0.2% fee, need kyc, 1 totally free withdrawal per month)
https://www.coincorner.com/ (1-5% fee depending amount, need kyc, no withdrawal fee)
https://pro.coinbase.com/ (0.6% fee, need kyc, withdrawal fee varies depending on network traffic)
Step 5:
Withdraw the bitcoin from your exchange account to a self custody wallet where you hold the keys, ideally a hardware cold wallet or your own node, otherwise a mobile hot wallet. Relai and Peach come with a mobile hot wallet. Below are some other wallet recommendations.
https://blockstream.com/green/ (mobile hot wallet, liquid network wallet, connect to hardware wallet)
https://samouraiwallet.com/ (mobile hot wallet, connect to hardware wallet, high privacy features)
https://blixtwallet.github.io/ (mobile hot wallet, lightning network wallet, lightning mobile node)
https://blockstream.com/jade/ (hardware wallet, liquid network wallet, bitcoin miner)
https://coldcard.com/ (hardware wallet, extra security features)
https://bitbox.swiss/ (hardware wallet)
https://nunchuk.io/ (mobile hot wallet, connect to hardware wallet, multisignature)
https://bitcoincore.org/ (official bitcoin node, best security of all, not for beginners)
https://umbrel.com/ (unofficial bitcoin node, lots of extra features, highly secure)
Step 6:
Always keep learning, run your own bitcoin and lightning nodes, open lightning channels, start a NOSTR account.

I can only seem to tip 500 sats minimum, is this because of amethyst client?

2023-07-01 23:28:34

- reply

Oh cool, thank you. Hopefully breez, phoenix or blixt can sort out lightning addresses soon so it's non custodial. I guess I can just forward them to my other wallet.

2023-07-01 23:22:06

- reply

And you just add your lightning address in the settings?

My twitter mobile app just won't refresh anymore, hasn't shown posts for the last 2 hours. I just get "Cannot retrieve tweets at this time". Time to focus on nostr.

2023-07-01 21:43:59

- reply

So how do people see this post without followers? I'm still a little confused aha

2023-07-01 21:37:08

Finally made it to nostr, I imagine a lot of people signed up today with the twitter issues.
