The thing that kinda irks me about the nsec.app & nostr.band expired SSL certs: I've done a quick check, and their SSL cert was issued by Let's Encrypt... so it's not like they need to pay anything to renew it, it's literally free and a quick shell command will renew and install it for you. I guess I'm just hoping they're travelling off grid, and unable to renew it. #nostr View quoted note →

This is so true. I'm also having so much difficulty bringing more of my liquidity onto lightning as I want to bridge and swap alts from various chains into BTC on lightning. It helps #Bitcoin adoption to have these rails, we need to make liquidity flow easier, even if you personally don't believe in other cryptos. We don't believe in fiat yet we all accept on and off ramps are vital to liquidity flows into BTC. View quoted note →

I'm becoming more and more a fan of @White Noise as I go further into the #nostr rabbit hole. Ideally we have protocols that cover this type of secure messaging, but one cool thing about White Noise is that it builds on top of nostr to leverage it's scalability and censorship resistance. It's now my preferred way to receive secure DMs on nostr. View article →

this might end up being the Wikipedia of #nostr, very neat! View quoted note →

If there's one thing I think we can all agree we need more of, it's "Idea Guys" 🫣:finnadie: View quoted note →

Absolutely agreed! This is a same take and exactly my position as well. If and when the risk comes closer to fruition, the #bitcoin stack will upgrade as necessary, from nodes to wallets. Once there's consensus on a way forward this whole attack vector will become moot. We already have quantum resistant algorithms, we just need to agree and move when the time comes. Happy holidays @Lyn Alden! View quoted note →

#Nostr Compass issue 2 just out! I loved the first issue, can't wait to read through this latest one. 😻🧾 Great job folks! View quoted note →

Well said, and so true. It all begins with an idea, a build, and as people pick it up more builds come rolling in. Been amazing to watch it grow over the years. My only regret is having a ~2y break from it. But I am excited and grateful to be back. :cat_happy: View quoted note →

arfy wishes you all a very happy #Christmas holiday! From our tree to yours. 😻🙏🎄

I'll need to check, but this was one of the first accounts I followed back in early 2023 when I first joined. amazing to see people still heavily active and giving here! 😻 View quoted note →

be liberal with your mutes/blocks and conservative with your arguments on #nostr. save your energy for something positive. feeding the trolls is a -EV game. IMHO. :CatNerd: Remember you can do private or public mutes.
