#AskNostr most nostr dapps are updating my profile picture when I change it but one or two like @Nostree are still using the first ever image I uploaded to nostr how do I change it so my new picture is used throughout nostor?
I was all about #cryto over all + #bitcoin then I started listening to @Peter McCormack with his #WhatBitcoinDid podcast and hearing about #nostr and #LightningNetwork layer 2. This has mad me more bullish on bitcoin only and now I want to learn how to set up a relay and lighting node and run it all myself
I did not think noster would have bots, like on twitter that bombard you with scams but here I am
is anyone else having issues with noster inturms of UI stability and loding on any nostr dapp
Off to bed now. I will talk to all of you, my darling angles, tomorrow
The Lightning Network is a significant advancement in the world of Bitcoin, providing a layer-2 payment protocol that enhances transaction efficiency. Its main goal is to enable fast, low-cost transactions, bypassing the limitations of Bitcoin's main blockchain. Here's a concise overview: How Lightning Network Works: It's built on the concept of payment channels, allowing two parties to transact an unlimited number of times, almost instantly and at minimal cost. These transactions occur off the main Bitcoin blockchain, in a separate layer, enabling quicker processing and reduced fees. Users open a payment channel by locking in a certain amount of Bitcoin, and these channels can be kept open for continuous transactions or closed as needed. When a channel is closed, the net result of all transactions is recorded on the Bitcoin blockchain. Key Features and Products: Some notable features and products over the Lightning Network include Loop, Pool, Taro, and Faraday. Loop facilitates transactions between Lightning and on-chain Bitcoin addresses. Pool manages liquidity needs. Taro helps in issuing assets on the Lightning Network, and Faraday is a data analytics tool for optimizing node operations. Advantages: The Lightning Network addresses several Bitcoin blockchain issues, such as scalability, speed, and high transaction costs. It allows for micropayments, which are much smaller than what's possible on the main Bitcoin blockchain, and it operates with lower energy requirements, enhancing Bitcoin's environmental footprint. Challenges: Despite its benefits, the Lightning Network has some limitations. Setting up a payment channel can be costly, and once funds are locked into a channel, they might be at risk due to technical issues or counterparty actions. There's also a scalability challenge in managing multiple payment channels, and the need for constant vigilance against fraud, often outsourced to watchtower nodes. Future Potential: The Lightning Network is continually evolving, with growing adoption and development of new functionalities. It's enhancing Bitcoin's capabilities and addressing the blockchain trilemma (scalability, security, and decentralization), making Bitcoin transactions more efficient and practical for everyday use.
so it looks as though kt will only post to twitter when I right a not and not a quote or reply
OK i think I figured out alby and how to connect it for instant zaps 1. head to https://mutinywallet.com set up the web wallet there 2. then head to and download the extension 3. during alby setup choose the option with no lightning wallet, in the list of app scroll right down to the end and choose Nostor wallet connect 4. head back to https://mutinywallet.comthen go to your settings and choose wallet connections 5. add connection and give it a name 6. put the link it gives you into alby (at this point you may get a connection error but don't worry it should still work) 7. head back to the nostor app you use and refresh the page at this point the alby app should pop up allow the connection then your wallet should be added to the nostor dapp and you can send and receive zaps
@Alby I am trying to connect mutinywallet though Nostr Wallet Connect but keep getting an error
