In my opinion a third-party custodial option for an introductory bitcoin wallet is not a great option and lays the foundation to be rugged and unintended poor UX. It might be faster for adoption in some cases, however without a solid foundation it's not a solid house.

Bitcoin payments are Nostr's exceptional feature. Nostr, for me, is about an economy.

I am at a stable spot for development on satdress, for a bit.

There are a few things to fix and add still, however it does a bulk of what was intended. Some additional ideas for later: - Include an optional njump or oracolo interface (or similar) for each configured user page, so it can function as a business or personal website. - Release distribution to Umbrel, Start9, DigitalOcean and others. - Test with minimal hardware to see the lower bound requirements. - Add multiple wallet connections per user.

I needed a simple plugin for the strfry nostr relay to block events based on author pubkeys. It's configurable with environment variables or a configuration file. It's available here:

I think the important role of hormones, chemical messengers, have been overlooked in the last many decades. The modern fiat environment can throw many haywire. The year-round, widespread, subsidized, availability of carbohydrates is very new. What was a survival advantage to feel a need, via hunger hormones, to eat many of them when available, has lead to health issues instead. I've found a lot of peace in realizing that. A few resources I've found useful: -

Now has NWC support merged into it and work will continue here.

Looks like adding `pay_keysend` NWC support for phoenixd may or may not happen based on these discussions:

I don't know what Blossom is and at this point it feels too late to ask. That was until:

@🟠 isolabellart feel free to use any of these to make a painting. There are several landscapes towards the end (starting around 47 of 75). The photos are from a trip to Costa Rica for Nostrica. Also, I have higher resolution versions available, if needed. https://braydon.com/nostr/photos/nostrica2023/

I just completed a Zap from #Amethyst from #phoenixd with Nostr Wallet Connect. Work-in-progress for #NWC support for phoenixd is here: https://github.com/braydonf/satdress/tree/nwc I also added a CLI tool for exporting the NWC connection string and QRcode from the terminal.
