Alby Hub update allows you to receive via BOLT 12 now! This enhances privacy for both the sender and the receiver. For the receiver, it helps by not having to reveal their node information every single time they request a payment, since the offer can be reused without sharing too much detail. For the sender, it adds privacy by allowing them to make payments without revealing their own node details as well. This reduces the amount of information that’s shared publicly. Windows users might run into a virus detection prompt for Wacatac.B!ml if you use Windows Defender as your antivirus. Probably a false positive, but noteworthy. #nostr #lightning #lightningnetwork

@Alby Hub 1.18.4 update blocked due to virus on windows device?

It's harder to convince someone to start their own business than it is to convince them of Jesus being raised from the dead.

At the dentist to get a permanent crown on my front tooth. I find that I'm angry at myself about this. Not because I broke my tooth, but because this seems so superficial to try to fix something like that. I feel like one of those prosperity preachers that are botoxed up to pretend they are blessed with eternal youth. Weird emotions today that aren't auto defrag processing.

GM ☀️ My wife gave my oldest daughter a task list of chores to do before she got back in the afternoon. It's been an hour and she is still dancing around and listening to music. I don't have the heart to remind her. Some life lessons just need to happen, like canon events.

I'm going to take some crap for this on here from #Bitcoin maxis, I can tell already. But here is my attempt at responding to the recent #Monero Leaks report where it looks at "leaks", "attacks", and "case studies". I appreciate the aggregation of points. Many of the critiques are valid in specific contexts, but the conclusion is heavily shaped by the authors bias and omits VERY critical nuance. I will admit that I am not somehow immune to bias myself, but this is a particular fight that I am "pro" both sides for very specific and different reasons. I just hate the obnoxious, unnecessary bullying. Privacy is a spectrum. Don't let maxi ideology obscure the evidence on either side. https://noeljbass.me/is-monero-really-worse-than-bitcoin-for-privacy.html

NostrSync.live seems to be down and hijacked. I simply took the github code and hosted it under my subdomain at https://nostrsync.noeljbass.me This basically helps you mass broadcast to all major relays as well as save a copy of your older posts locally. Here is the original repo:

@Alby hub is working pretty clean with NWC and Nostr zaps 👀. A lot quicker than minibits. Happy so far with it. Good job guys.

Testing zpay.live as a paywall option. Zpay requires sellers to have an alby account, so I went ahead and got another channel going. Hopefully, it works out better than it did when i tried it 7 months ago. Woooo https://paywall.zpay.live/jm2wtA This is a customGPT bot I prompted that I've been marketing to families. It puts parameters around gpt and defends a Christian worldview while holding to a socially conservative, young earth creationist position. This particular one is my broadly Evangelical tradition one but I also created some for other traditions I'm exceptionally familiar with (Charismatic/Pentecostal, Reformed/Calvinist/WCF, and Eastern Orthodox). Here is a demo version for all you v4v guys who hate that paywalls exist even though I'm basically giving it to ya'll for free anyways:

A Christian educational assistant created to help users grow in faith with biblical wisdom. Please enjoy this free trial. Full version can be found...

I wanted to prove to my techy friends that I could paywall a gpt bot and people would use it. It's been working phenomenally. #biblestr #nostr

GM Happy Lord's Day #nostr

Does anyone know who created zpay.live ? I couldn't find it on GitHub. #nostr #asknostr
