I recently compared my son buying skins and pickaxes in fortnite to me as a kid buying stickers or pogs back in the day. But actually I owned those things, I had self-custody over them. 100%. He can, and will ultimately lose access to them. I'm very happy with him being and spending online, just as I'm not a hording dull old fart. The point being, ownership, offline of anything of importance that is naturally based online is essential. I assume this isnt currently possible on fortnite and/or many other online areas other than crypto amd nfts. Are crypto wallets the blueprint for this? This is me learning. Please feel free to chip in and school me. #asknostr #nostr #plebchain

he's 12, I fucking love him

I've just found a Vib-Ribbon emulator. Absolute classic.

Anyone used Mercuryo in the UK for buying crypto with fiat? Looks smooth, its promoted/recommended by some very reputable wallets and doesn't look like it needs KYC.

hey #nostr, any friendly advice for finding remote tech jobs? my cv is a little sparse on the tech specifics. Bit of a career change. I am currently self-employed, so I'm not desperate, just wanting to have a more flexible work-family schedule. #plebchain #nostrdevs #nostrs-devs

Anyone got recommendations for crypto wallets that are privacy focused, can do swaps that don't involve going via a CEX with KYC, and that offer an onramp (again no KYC) for fiat. I know it depends on the coins, but so far I've only found Cake, Unstoppable and Best Wallet.

I'm slowly compiling an Online Privacy Guide for my family and friends (I'll eventually make it public too). I am aiming for it to be very easy to read, understand and execute, think "could my mother do it?". Ultimately a checklist with easy to follow steps, reasoning (not to techy) and links to further info. Now, I'm fairly new to privacy tech, but have made considerable improvements and want to help others claim back their privacy. Obviously #nostr has been an amazing source of info and help, but I want to double down and be a bit more conprehensive. So, can anyone please recommend any resources, accounts on here or X to follow or suggest some areas to cover? I'm looking to learn more, improve my understanding and take my time to compile the guide slowly so that people aren't overwhelmed and put off. Thanks in advance #nostr #nostrdevs #nostrs-devs #asknostr #privacy #onlineprivacy
