Of course. But as we know, division of labor and specialization is key for success. So I see it unlikely to have multiple successful "everything apps" that do all by themselves. I see it far more likely to have multiple providers for specialized tasks and then have multiple "everything apps" that simply bundle those services in a single app.

It's not so discrete as true/false. It's a spectrum. One metric to measure your sovereignty that may be useful is how easy it is for you (and your family, if applicable) to relocate to a different country with minimal disruption.

What's your point? They are all signing the hash of the serialized event data (the whole object basically)

2023-03-10 13:48:46 UTC

- reply

The signature signs the whole object (minus the signature of course). Let me quote NIP-01:
> "sig": <64-bytes hex of the signature of the sha256 hash of the serialized event data, which is the same as the "id" field>

2023-03-10 13:18:26 UTC

- reply

It's not that strict. It only says that the encoding is UTF-8 and that there shouldn't be white spaces or line breaks. I have seen different implementations serializing the same object differently for example when you use stranger characters like emojis. So here when you calculate the event ID/signature you have to pay attention on how the rest of the clients will serialize your object so that their calculations will match yours.

2023-03-10 13:09:22 UTC

- reply

This is offtopic but isn't it strange that Nostr uses a JSON-serialized string to calculate the event ID/signature? It's somewhat vague as different implementations may serialize the same object differently (e.g. due to escaping). Maybe something binary would have made more sense.

I'm using LNDg for automating these tasks. But imho it's better to let the network balance the channels for you by changing your fees as needed.
That said, I'm not happy with Umbrel. Being tor-only makes your node collect much less fees than a normal node.

You can put media wherever you want. In the text, in a centralized server, in a (web)torrent or something new. Ideally you should create a NIP to formally specify your idea though, so others can follow you 😅

2023-03-07 07:35:19 UTC

- reply

No. You can create your own NIPs and implement them in your own client (or relay). "Official" NIPs try to simply "sync" different clients. But clients sometimes do what they want. A good example are reposts. Fiatjaf hates them and there is no NIP for them (there used to be a basic one but it was taken down) but most clients support them.

2023-03-07 07:29:25 UTC

I disagree. The "design" of Nostr is quite basic. You can add virtually anything you want through some NIP.

In WoS your fees can go as high as 100% of your total holdings (if they decide to rug you). In theory this can't happen in Muun (assuming they use proper submarine swaps, which I don't know if it's the case because they are not very transparent about this process).

> Why do you think that God would have to exist outside of our reality and not within it?
It becomes a matter of how you define Creator, reality, etc. In my case the Creator would be the entity that created our reality, so by definition it can't exist in it.
But to be honest I don't spend much time thinking about what could lie outside of our reality because that would be just fantasy. I don't even know if Creator is a good term. Those terms such as create, entity, intelligence, matter, time, energy, etc. are only meaningful in our reality. Maybe there is nothing like that outside.

Well, kinda. I don't like thinking of the "creator" as some kind of a super man. For me it's something beyond our capabilities to understand. It's not a person, and technically it doesn't even exist because the concept of existence is undefined when applied outside of our reality.
That said, in some cases it's useful to think that it can hear you and that it has some power over you, especially when you're going through bad times. But being objective I think it's a psychological trick and nothing else.

Moving to another country is a good option too, especially to have a "fresh start" (most countries ignore/don't care what you do elsewhere if you maintain a low profile).
Imo the best option is to be an "eternal tourist", hopping from country to country and never becoming a tax resident (this is not feasible for most people though).

Regarding xpub: Muun is multisig so there is no traditional xpub. You can still get your keys to assemble a watch-only wallet if you want.

2023-02-22 05:49:16 UTC

- reply

Muun is great for mixed LN/on-chain usage. If you use mostly LN then you need something else. Personally I like Phoenix. The good thing is that you don't need to marry any single option. Use as many wallets as you need. But recovery/backup becomes harder the more wallets you have.
