#asknostr Can someone please help me work out how I verify my identity with nostr? Australia’s social media identification laws come into effect in less than one hour and I am worried about getting locked out of my nostr account if I don’t verify my age in time.

Tether is the best use case for ecash currently. Since tether is custodial anyway it would be so nice if they would ditch the blockchain and run a big ecash mint.

🇦🇺🇦🇺Big moment of national pride for Australia.🇦🇺🇦🇺 There is a worldwide effort to roll out digital IDs but Australia is the country that snagged the digitalid.com domain name. Our digital ID is the best and we have the best TLD to prove it.

Tether's "vision for a stable future" looks quite similar to my "vision of hell".

This week we have a new head of police in Australia. A lot of people have been talking about increases in crime lately and not feeling safe. Lets see what she has to say about what she is going to do to keep Aussies safe: “You’re on our radar … and we will be using all of our capabilities, partnerships and technological capabilities to protect social the cohesion of this country.” Barrett, who on Monday replaced Reece Kershaw as Australia’s top cop, said her agency was shifting gears from simple enforcement of federal laws to tackling threats fuelled by everything from far-right conspiracy theories to the online radicalisation of children as young as 13, and foreign states using encrypted apps and criminals to weaponise antisemitism and social unrest. Her first order of business is to launch national security investigation squads to work with Five Eyes partners and state police to monitor Nazi groups and other radicals, including those activated by the war in Gaza. These groups are not yet engaging in terrorist acts but are potentially breaching new hate crime laws that hand the AFP a new set of nefarious actors to target. —- … oh dear

🪦 R.I.P to the 164 transactions that didn't make it in and are forced to wait. This is why we need bigger blocks.

We have the Patriot Act. Coming soon is the Protect Our Patriots Act to make sure something like this never happens again. View quoted note →

If you are looking to open a channel on lightning consider @LN⚡Server I have had an excellent experience with them. While my channel was open all my transactions went through for low fees exactly as you would want. But where they really impressed me was with their customer service when I needed help. Their customer service was excellent and responsive and it really felt like they wanted to do everything they could to help. It was truly appreciated and left me very impressed. I thought the “Community first” writeup on their website might just be marketing slop but it really felt like they mean it. If I am looking to open any channels in the future LNServer will be my first choice. 5/5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I want to say a huge thank you to @Roland for helping me avoid disaster and recover my lightning nodes backup file and save my sats. After being told multiple times it was impossible to do anything or recover any of the coin I was unwilling to give up and it was amazing to be able to find a solution. Thank you so much for your help. 💛 Never give up! …and also don’t be like me and keep your nodes updated 😬
