i'm really liking my thinkpad/omarchy setup.
i know it's not "real linux" but transitioning from the appleverse... it's great. does what i want.
getting rid of apps was pretty simple too.
so many people bitch over the stupidest things.

2026-02-23 14:05:23 UTC

- reply

just my take...
nostr is kind of like bitcoin. many don't want to hear it. they just want the thing to work. nostr has a bit of a branding issue.
maybe... when people make apps or platforms, instead of including some kind of reference to nostr (or even bitcoin), the branding states what the thing does and have nostr in the background.
another one is the npub/nsec ordeal. it's no different than username/password setup, but the branding of those two is also another turn off for most general users.
just some observations from trying to onboard.

Yes, actual performance. Load times, tx sends, transition between options. I'm not technical enough to comment on those details of why, just my ux from using other wallets.
I was testing sends from blitz to various other ln wallets, and it just performed a lot slower. Maybe its routing, maybe its something else.
An example: went to steak n shake. at POS. need to pay quick, fast and in a hurry due to the building line. it took a moment for the wallet to load, so I opted to another one to handle.
Note, these aren't "deal breakers", but when I need something functional it does weigh on choices.
Again, I think the overall wallet looks really slick. I find it very aesthetically pleasing.

UI:
slick, sharp and simple to navigate somewhat. I do think there's good art direction with the overall design. but could be more stripped down.
UX:
might be my expectations, but with such a sleek interface, you'd think the app would move faster. i'm not a tech aficionados, and even though i read the doc on Spark, I don't understand it enough to fully embrace it. what are tokens? why do I need them? feels unnecessary. like bloatware.
the gifts part is confusing too. is that ecash? I don't understand, and makes me hesitant.
the shops section, while potentially useful, feels like more bloat. for me, I want a wallet to just be a wallet. not an everything app.
the USD token part... I feel is asking for trouble down the regulation line. would rather it just be bitcoin only.
there's a lot of potential, but just my personal preference is a more simplified wallet. my everyday driver is ashigaru and blixt. just button down bitcoin wallets. cashu.me was an interesting and simple web wallet, but not understanding proofs and mints well enough keeps me at arms length.
hope that makes sense/is helpful.

tried setting up the amazon kdp account to sell the books from... so many issues. first off, i don't have a phone number, nor a bank account. poetic considering the book is about living on a bitcoin standard. the pain points made real. making adjustments.
messed with clawbot. wasn't going to. but got help. did a lot of testing. research and exploring. it got its own lightning wallet. i sent it some sats. it went to buy something all on its own. still messing with it. but i can see the potential.

On Capital and Art
A friend says Martin Scorsese can't get funding. Can't make the films he wants to make. Not without begging. Not without compromise.
This seems wrong. He's acclaimed. Proven. A master of the craft.
But the system isn't broken. It was never meant to work for you.
Capital moves like water. It seeks the path of least resistance. It pools where the ground is safe. Where return is certain.
Art is fire. Unpredictable. Dangerous. It consumes what feeds it and asks for more.
You can't make water flow uphill. You can't make fire burn cold.
## The False Analogy
Some say this is like carpentry. That a skilled filmmaker should be a safe investment. That quality reduces risk.
But carpentry is objective. Film is subjective.
When a carpenter builds a chair, success is measurable. It holds weight or it doesn't. The joints are tight or they're not. The legs are level or they aren't. Quality carpentry *guarantees* a predictable outcome.
Film guarantees nothing.
A masterful director with a brilliant script can still fail. Audiences are fickle. Timing matters. Cultural mood matters. What works one year bombs the next. The same film released in different months gets different results.
You can execute perfectly and still lose everything. That's not true with chairs.
So capital avoids this. Of course it does. The system isn't failing to recognize quality. Quality just isn't enough. Vision means uncertainty. Uncertainty means risk. And capital doesn't love what it can't predict.
They'll fund the formula. The sequel. The proven thing. Not because it's good but because it's known.
When art succeeds it succeeds in spite of money, not because of it.
## The Pragmatic Solution
So what do you do?
You become the capital. But not by staying in the industry. Leave it.
Learn to invest. Build a business. Provide a service that actually makes money. Use that capital to fund your work.
This isn't defeatism. It's pragmatism.
Would you rather spend five years begging studios for funding that comes with compromise? Or five years building your own means to make exactly what you want?
When you come with film in hand, you have control. When you beg for funding, you're already compromised before you start. The art gets diluted the moment you need permission to make it.
Art first. Money later. Keep them separate. Make the work because it demands to be made. Let profit follow if it will.
This is the only path that doesn't compromise the fire.
