This unironically

What if your community had a fund that anybody could pay into. Any member could submit expenses, and any staff member could pay them out. A small Bitcoin OpenCollective right inside of your community.

It's no surprise Lightning software is full of vulnerabilities and getting taken offline. This is exactly the type of fragile, complex infrastructure we've been fighting against building Nostr. View quoted note →

strfry now supports giftwrap deletion by recipient:

I have been forced to finally master Nostr SQLite. I started on SQLite, hit walls, moved to Postgres, hit further walls, and finally landed on ElasticSearch/OpenSearch with infinite scalability. But now I am forced to finally master SQLite for local database on Android/iOS. I've built 4 different variations of Nostr SQLite and I'm benchmarking them against each other. The current fastest implementation (for reads) stores tags in an FTS table like "t:hello e:abc123..." The naive way is to keep a separate nostr_tags table and JOIN it, but then the query planner behaves wrong. This way has 25x read performance for 100k+ datasets.
