Last Notes
I've completely soured on zaps, as a concept, this week. I'm taking it out of my client. Only payment targets with messages, no zaps.
I am now left wondering why in the world we thought we needed to have zaps, at all. I can't think of any actual purpose for them.
It's like financially masturbating in public.

That's what she said is out. In this economy?! is in.
keep stackin' 🫡
It's a permanent. public record of the money you spent. Like publishing your bank account transactions on Facebook.
No, I controlled for that. I only display the on-chain options over 10k sats.
I know. People are asking me to add Monero zaps, but I now know so much about zaps that I am thinking of removing them, altogether. The whole idea of publishing payments on public threads, on an uncensorable protocol...
This is was never a good idea and I don't know if I want to encourage more of it.
I put #hashtags in the #memo of all my zaps on or off chain. every zap has me & my "signature" all over it. oh, and when I buy something here on nostr. I have to tell them my name, address, email...
"no kyc" oh, ok. thanks. I'll try that.
It would be really funny, if someone made a #FIPS-Interface for #Reticulum.
If I'm not wrong it might be already possible to use reticulum over fips by defining a tun device. Serious people would ask: What for? For fun!
👀 well oh my 😳

if i didn't own my home I would be stacking bitcoin hard until I had enough for the down payment.
bitcoin & real-estate, in that order. the
why pay someone's mortgage for them? you'll stack less.
Yep, inside the screened porch. Couldn’t believe it!
Interesting. I'm gonna take your word for it and give it a try
You’re my personal Spider-Man 😎
I hope it's coming for you too 🫂

I can't be the only user who only uses zaps to send little tokens of appreciation, and does everything else directly wallet-to-wallet. I don't actually want every transaction I have made up in lights.
I wish there were a reliable way to turn off zap receipts. I am currently just giving users the option of not sending the Lightning server the relays, and hoping they take the hint and send nothing back.
You’re a good mom, and the worry is just natural. We went through some unique challenges when our kids were born too. Not exactly the same as what you’re facing, but looking back, we got through it, and a lot of the fear and anxiety ended up being temporary.
Now new challenges are upon us, and we just keep moving forward one step at a time.
Prayers for you, Walker, and your family.
It seems such a hard temptation to temper
seems big, but I'm going with Carolina Wolf Spider.
aka Lycosa carolinensis, but it is now known as Hogna carolinensis

If you are using a vpn you need to configure it to enable connections to local network, also in the android settings the block connections without vpn should be unchecked
Implementing a single event and an associated URI is the sort of simple, easy, elegant, universal, useful, privacy-protecting and dirt-cheap solution that the clever people tend to scoff at.
Why solve a problem simply, when you can solve it like...?

Did you install morganite after installing the new amethyst update?
where are you, again? Texas right?
bah! if we didn't have spiders we'd have bugs up the ass.
flamethrower is for weeds.
But the sex is so good with broken people 😅
I need a ride or die to help me build the exit strategy 🫦
Screened porch on the screen. Think it’s a wolf

on the ground?
or in a web?
I need a couple close up stills. I can figure it out. #amateurentomologist
big brown spiders are often called "wolf" spiders.
oh #amythest... https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/60da3b16601fa977022f2565564e84b56e25ada2cb5345c55ee851b6752d64c6.jpeg
everyday, something new...
ok, wisp, new daily driver, lets see how you're doing lately
It's bizarre to separate users of Twitter clones or shopping sites or recipe books or Bible study chats by payment method. **It has always been bizarre. It never made any sense.** I can say that because nobody is paying me or shaming me to not-say it, but everyone knows it. Money is something that serves the people interacting, not the other way around.
The complete obsession with payment methods has nearly doomed Nostr and turned us into a Bitcoin Maxi ghetto that even Bitcoin Maxis don't want to hang out in because it is tiresome; like watching paint dry. To only have Bitcoin in common is now to have _very little in common_.
**However.**
The most-sensible way to liberalize payments on Nostr is to implement payment targets and make their use seamless and elegant. So that nobody feels coerced into using Bitcoin, or even zaps, in order to use Nostr.
I build on Nostr for Nostr's own sake, and I want everyone to use it. **Nostr is for enemies.**

The point of this is not private entropy but public entropy, for example if you are doing a giveaway and want to make it verifiable.
This uses threshold BLS signatures, where the signed data is the timestamp (can be chained as well), and the signature is hashed to get entropy. The initial keys were also generated with multiple parties.
You can't really bias the output except at setup, if you knew *the future usecase you want to bias*, and bruteforced a key that would return a preferred value at that exact timestamp.
Zaps are a massive infrastructure project, so no.

so far, the deer are ignoring it.
*fingers crossed*
Yeah, it moves. I've set the dust limit at 10k sats, to try to avoid that and not have the payment eaten by fees.

Try again. It should be better now.
