When I enter my Nostr passphrase into Shopstr in order to edit my user profile, I get the error message "invalid tag". My passphrase is correct. Any gremlins going on?

Anyone have ballpark figures on @npub15dc3...yv6e trading volume?

Normalise Signal instead of WhatsApp.

I may be speaking to the choir here but I don't have X or Facebook, so... A sheep is used for its wool, milk and flesh, for the profit of the shepherd. The shepherd even brands the sheep to keep track of it so it can't escape. If you use WhatsApp, your time, money and resources are being used for the profit of Zuckerberg. He even brands you with a digital profile to keep track of you, so your monetary value can't escape from him. The sheep gets free food because it is the product. WhatsApp is free because YOU are the product. Signal is free because it's not-for-profit. So why the hell are sheeple using WhatsApp? Switch to @Signal . It's right there on the App Store. Yes I know SimpleX and Session exist, but Signal is the easiest to onboard normies.

If WhatsApp were so privacy conscious, they'd use Nostr to communicate with us and not Twitter. But if they were on Nostr, they'd be getting daily attacks from us over their privacy practices. I can see why they'd hide from us.

Just phoned o2 in the UK to get my PAYG SIM replaced with an E-SIM emailed to me. They said they must register my phone number in order to email me the E-SIM. Bullshit. I need an E-SIM so I gave them a fake name, fake home address, fake D.O.B. and a throwaway email address to email me the E-SIM. So I got around their surveillance grab with fake info, but this is the latest example of the noose tightening -- demanding personal information for a simple Pay As You Go SIM. Phone carriers are part of the Regime and I'm sure it won't be long before they demand digital ID to get even a Pay As You Go SIM for cash at the supermarket.

So it turns out Nostr uses Cloudfare? That's interesting. Bastyon stayed up...
