Happened to me yesterday on CalyxOS too. Once I sent a voice message in @nprofile…emfz the app was using my microphone forever. The green dot disappeared after restarting the phone. Even if you force stop SimpleX it will continue to access the microphone. You really have to hide the app or restart the phone. Annoying.

thanks for the correction! I’ve got a question… did you ever consider going this route 👇😂🙈 https://image.nostr.build/9614fb9138d046f6d7d5a4e7a29d29c999e343c2b61df735bf5b0ffc4df14881.jpg

Good question. I think the idea is to make things easier for people who don't want to or cannot verify signatures, sideload and add their apps to Obtanium. It's for people who want to have the AppStore experience but feel comfortable with just downloading an app as long as the app is signed by a well-known and trusted signer, at best by the app dev him/herself. At the same time you can see which people from your web-of-trust have already downloaded the app and thus also trusted the signer. In short, I think it replaces the signature verification which many users aren't capable to do and provides an appstore experience people are familiar with.

Doesn't surprise me. It's always like that. I bet if Bitrefill would accept Monero, it would look exactly like this.

I have recorded it for you (iPhone 12 mini, iOS 18.3). I created a fresh nsec within nsec.app and on this video you can see the successful connection to Olas app but the app won’t show up in the list. https://video.nostr.build/2dc7fa9e2b9c5ff23339dc000b69a68cd715080eb29a363800e367e90b18cf84.mp4

@npub1xdt…ntxy nsec.app became very unreliable recently and behaves very strangely. it is barely usable. why doesn’t nsec.app work anymore with services like habla.news or npub.cash? i tested it with my main nsec and with test nsecs. i tested it on iOS (18.3) and on Android (15, CalyxOS). It used to work great on both devices. Now the issues persist on both devices / OSes. And sometimes the entry under the “Connected Apps” section disappears although I managed to successfully log in (on Olas for example where it works, though not without dealing with a lot of other hassles).

Agreed, BUT: in my opinion they should fix the DMs first. Seriously, I don't get why they haven't implemented it yet. The DM-situation is a mess on these clients. I can see new people on Nostr being very pissed off when they realize that whole Nostr (and everyone outside by just looking into it) knows that one has contacted a sex-worker, human rights organization, a political party or what not. I can't code, but if @nprofile…deau has made it, then the others will probably be able too. It can't be that difficult and I don't understand this anymore.

There you can switch between the internal Tor deamon which is built right into Amethyst or you can use an app like Orbot which is a Tor-Proxy. It's your choice.

Good decision. Windows itself became a virus. I don’t know what you mean by “Microsoft Laptop”, but I found that Linux works pretty good on Acer Laptops which are also very affordable. Just start with Ubuntu, Pop!_OS or Linux Mint and see if you like it. Basically all you have to do is get a USB-stick, flash a Linux Distro of your choice on it, plug the stick into your laptop, reboot and follow the instructions. Just visit one of the aforementioned distro websites. You’ll always find the instructions on there. And maybe this podcast episode could be worth listening to:

Das kommt auf dein Gerät an. Wenn du ein Privacyphone hast und keine Google Play Services nutzt, wirst du keine Pushbenachrichtigungen bekommen, mit der Ausnahme von #Amethyst, wenn du dir UnifiedPush herunterlädst und einrichtest. Ansonsten solltest du eigentlich Pushbenachrichtigungen bekommen.

No, if you haven’t paid, you’re not subscribed. You can check it here:
https://nostr.wine/invoices
“Authenticated” just means that this is not a free relay everyone can connect to. You have to authenticate yourself, which in this specific case means that you have to pay.

I am by no means a relay expert so I wouldn’t be able to give you any advice, but since nostr.wine is a one-time-subscription relay (doesn’t apply to their filter and inbox relay) just keep it. They seem to have improved it. I can’t detect any spam coming from their relay for days. Also, your configuration depends on if you are using a client with outbox model (e.g. Amethyst) or not. If you use a client like #Amethyst, follow @npub1gcx…nj5z ‘s guide here:

Monerotalk should consider renaming itself to Trashtalk.
Anyone who knows me knows that I am by no means an opponent of Monero and how tired I am of Bitcoininfluencertalk, but apparently they have also started drinking a bit too much of their own cool-aid.
So much stupid stuff is beeing told there recently that I can hardly list it here. More and more shilling POS and shitcoins, giving Ethereum more benefit than to Bitcoin, constantly pretending that Monero can somehow scale magically but Bitcoin can’t and that Bitcoin is sooooo transparent that even owning a skyscraper in Manhattan is more private than owning Bitcoin 😂 This is the most stupid thing I’ve ever heard.

But there is a lot of other ongoing spam on Nostr at the moment other than the ReplyGuy. Replies with nonsense-content (not from the ReplyGuy), a lot of replying impersonators etc. To test my setup I took an iPhone and started #Damus which doesn’t implement the Outbox-Model, right? I have six wot-relays now plus two inbox-relays and yours and I can’t see none of the spam.

Ok, eventually I got rid of spam on #damus too and I also made sure I’m not missing DMs (except for the gift-wrapped ones of course which should be the only ones you use) by adding these three relays in addition to my six wot-relays:
wss://inbox.nostr.wine
wss://relay.0xchat.com
wss://auth.nostr1.com
So far everything works fine and the experience is clean.
@npub1tm9…xn72 does your relay transmit only DMs or are you pro-actively filtering spam?

Yes, agreed. I am also testing my new relay setup right now based only on WoT. I'm curious to see how the experience will change here from now on. So far I used to follow @nprofile…vzaw 's guide regarding my relay setup.

2024-09-21 15:17:11

There’s always something which is wrong with #damus
The AppStore version changes to darkmode sometimes for whatever reason and the TestFlight version has a horrible UX. I cannot save pictures anymore and scrolling leads to swiping right or left by accident far too often. So annoying…
