It seems the domain registrar I used got banned in my home country. I didn't realize this as I was abroad, and everything appeared normal. However, my payment processor was based in my home country, which blocked the auto-renewed transaction. Consequently, I lost my domains, and now they're being resold for a 50x markup. Please recommend a reliable domain registrar that accepts Bitcoin and isn't susceptible to government censorship. #AskNostr

So, it seems you can't contribute to FOSS if you were born in the 'wrong' country. It's a horrific precedent for Linux. https://www.phoronix.com/news/Russian-Linux-Maintainers-Drop

The long-standing question in neuroscience seems to be now answered. How can memories last for years or even decades when the molecules in our brains are constantly being replaced? https://www.psypost.org/scientists-discover-glue-that-holds-memory-together-in-fascinating-neuroscience-breakthrough/

Close enough

I can build a crowd-paywall that unlocks content for everyone after reaching a targeted amount of zaps. 🤔

Once a user purchases content, there's no foolproof way to prevent them from sharing it with others. We could make it harder by becoming content gatekeepers, worsening the experience with authorizations and restrictions. Or we could design it as a freedom tool for both users and creators, allowing them to manage it themselves with mutual respect and a web of trust.

How??

Sorry for the delay in delivering the zPay.live features I promised. I've been going through a very difficult time in my personal life. Hopefully, everything will be better in the next few days, and I will deliver everything I’ve committed to. I just need a little more time. Please keep me in your prayers.

Someone's building Minecraft server in Rust, & CPU usage is 20x better, and RAM performance 100x! 😲

I don’t like sharing graphic images but I just saw a Palestinian child burning alive trapped under the rubble of Israel’s latest “act of self-defence”. A child. Burning alive. Sick of pretending, it's some "war"

Like sci Fi movie. Just crazy

The zPay.live/api/gr API endpoint is now public for testing. It encrypts your content, packages it as a URL with a cryptographic signature, and then shortens the URL. It handles all these steps for you, returning a paywalled URL. Working on other endpoints

Current zPay.live shareable paywall URL takes 2-3 sec to open & 1-2 sec to generate a payment invoice, which isn’t too bad. For U.S. users, it's slightly faster. New version, however, takes mere milliseconds for both processes 🤌, low latency worldwide 🕊️ using concurrency & edge functions. After further testing & polishing, it’ll be live.

Support for selling physical items on zPay.live. Posting this to gather some early feedback. It's a personal pocket marketplace where you can showcase your items, complete with a shareable URL. (Showcase demo soon) Thoughts on the payment process? (or any other suggestions)

After the USSR's disintegration, US became the world's dominant power, potentially the first global hegemony. It had the option to prioritize improving its citizens' living standards and guiding the world toward a better future. Instead, US chose perpetual war and is directly or indirectly responsible for some of the worst atrocities in the past 25 years. The world deserves better.
