Has anyone seen anything shared about what actually happened to Boltz that's got the service down — or is it still under investigation?

What’s the best way to connect to Chinese open-source models like GLM 5.2, DeepSeek, or Kimi? Would something like OpenCode be good? I’ve only used Claude Code with Opus, so I’m not really sure. I’m a bit tight on money lately, so I probably need to look for something cheaper.

I’ve been very positive about Bitcoin, but I’ve always thought that, in terms of storage, it would inevitably cost much more than physical gold and silver. Since I own both, that’s simply been my experience. It’s a deeply unfortunate thing. There are so many footguns where one mistake can wipe out your entire net worth, and I’m skeptical about whether this is something ordinary people can realistically handle. It’s easy to blame victims for not being careful, but most people can’t be cryptographers.

gm. I miscalculated the date and realized that something I thought could be reset today actually turns out to need waiting 10 more days.

I’ve decided I can confidently recommend Nostr to people around me once DMs are reliably delivered in about the top 5 apps by usage.

The most frustrating thing about Lightning is that, no matter how well I set things up, a payment fails if the counterparty’s side is misconfigured. The second annoyance is that when a payment fails, it’s hard to tell right away whether the problem is on my side or the other party’s. A better solution is needed.

In the past, while building a Nostr-related app, I realized that Nostr's pub-sub model lets you act as a server without needing a domain or a fixed IP — and I thought that was incredibly useful. Around the same time, looking at Lightning Address, I thought it was kind of lackluster, but figured it was unavoidable if you wanted a fixed receiving handle. Then not long ago I finally saw CLINK. Why didn't I think of that?!

I think I’ll get fired at work this year. Being a developer doesn’t seem to suit me, so I’m considering doing manual labor.

I’m wondering whether there is a “pay‑to‑read” service on Nostr. On many platforms, if I click a link to read an article, I’m immediately prompted to log in, so I just close the page. A micro‑payment system could be a better solution for that. Legacy social networks don’t have built‑in payment features, so it seems impossible there, but with Zap and Lightning becoming common on Nostr, it should be feasible, right? Would it be difficult to implement the part that receives the payment and distributes it? I haven’t thought about it deeply yet. In my usage pattern, when I click a link to a long‑form article that interests me on Nostr, I’d probably be fine with a small payment request. Nostr makes it possible with a single click.
