Also… why does he only have one picture he uses for everything? His book, profile pics, website… for years, they all use the same picture. Sometimes flipped horizontally, sometimes with laser-eyes added. Is this just laziness? Or something darker.

If I understand correctly it’s all about the relays. Different apps probably have different default relays but if they were all set the same across all your apps, your feed would be the same. (I think).

Just to clarify: I understand that the transmission itself will need to have callsign associated (legally) so the Hamstr server will know it, but will the resulting Nostr post include the callsign?
And is there a band that you’re currently focusing on? Or is the idea to use multiple? Seems to me that in its infancy it may be a good idea to concentrate on one.

This was a great episode and very exciting concept, (despite being very contingent and niche). A couple questions:
1) not sure how it is in the USA but in Canada my callsign leads directly to doxxing me. Is there a “firewall” of sorts between the RF transmission and the resulting Nostr broadcast that ensures the callsign is not included on Nostr?
2) When more servers get going, what band of HF are you planning to use? I’m just setting up some antennas (so far, for listening only, but eventually transmitting too). Whichever band you’re using will inform the next antenna I’m going to set up.
Thanks!

You can ‘block’ people by being on your own relay that no one else has access to.
Aside from that, I don’t think this is possible because the blocked would need to ‘opt-in’ to their own blockage. Or the Nostr client would need to block the user on your behalf, but would have no effect if the blocked went to a different client.
Sorry. You’re gonna need to just not worry about it and just concern yourself with the things you have control over.

2025-01-25 16:24:06 UTC

Just to confirm, is this how zaps are on iOS?
• iOS apps w/out integrated wallet: (ie. Damus, Nostur)
✅ CAN zap profiles
❌ CANNOT zap notes
• iOS apps with integrated wallet: (ie. Primal)
✅ CAN zap profiles
✅ CAN zap notes
… but only with Primal custodial wallet. ❌
• PWA on iOS: (ie. Snort)
✅ CAN zap profiles
✅ CAN zap notes
… using any ⚡️ wallet, Phoenix, Cashu, Aqua, etc.
I assume the native iOS has limitations imposed by Apple, like how Damus had to remove their note-zapping feature but I just want to make sure I’m not missing something.

An announcement for the Bitcoiners on here:
I have done my best to orange-pill my friends for the opportunity to acquire Sats (Satoshi is a unit of a Bitcoin). Part of the beauty of the network is that is provides:
• one of the only things on earth that can be 'owned' as a bearer asset.
• a currency that transacts at the speed of light on the Lightning network (which uses Sats and does final settlement on-chain).
• a global currency for the rich, the poor, and all political affiliations, borders ignored.
• the invention which created value from simply the production of energy - no need for transmission lines. Incentivizes cheap energy production, reduces waste energy, motivates renewables.
• the ability for a DIY nerd to help run a parallel global monetary network with a little computer at home
• a maximum supply of 21 million (currently less than 19 million in circulation, hitting cap in 2134 or so) meaning it will be a non-inflationary asset against which fiat currency will need to measure, possibly stabilizing commerce throughout the world, possibly alongside national currencies.
But at the this time in my journey, I will no longer evangelize ₿itcoin on this server. I'm going dark orange.
If you have any follow-up or wish to transact, go ahead with your question, and thank you.

Looking for Lightning #techSupport for #LND node: I'm having a hardware problem and cooperative-closing channels before I take it offline for long-term. If I was able to send my on-chain transaction for closing, is it now OK for LND node to go down? In other words, does LND need to be interactive during cooperative channel closing? Or was it enough to just emerge and send my on-chain transaction, and now safe to temporarily die again.

In all seriousness, if someone works to make an SVG image very small, can we still play with inscriptions and not feel like shitcoiners? Sometimes graffiti can be art too. And if sizes are small (say... less than 21k), seems like a good way to make a mark in the universe.

I will auction this off to whoever sends the most BTC to the address hidden in the SVG.
It's kind of like "I'll send you two bitcoins if you send me one", except thanks to #inscriptions and #ordinals, I'm something of an inscriboor myself.
"You send me two bitcoins, I'll send you one inscribed Satoshi". Also... the address is hidden in the art so it's like a game.
