Crypto Ball, Bitcoin Investor Week, and DC Blockchain Summit are in my backyard and I'm itching to go! Are y'all heading to any all of these events? I've been to a few StandWithCrypto events and Bitcoin Policy Institute events in the past, but these seem like a whole different league! I think it'd be cool to meet Saylor, @jack mallers , @Caitlin Long , @Dylan LeClair IRL.

Kind of cool that @primal found a way to get around Apple’s In-App-Purchases by rebranding Satoshis as Zaps and allowing the purchase of it via the App Store and credit card! (Reposting this because I forgot to broadcast it)

How do people post long form content on Nostr like this you see in the Read feeds in @primal?

I'd add the DCA'ing on Strike is also another way to do it.

I’m starting to believe the only way to onboard people to be non-custodial holders of their Bitcoin is to use pass phrases with their seedphrase. Save the seedphrsse in some password manager, or use Passkeys to protect them, and make the passphrase simple and personal enough that they can remember it. As long as software wallets support pass phrases on top of BIP39, we’ll be good to go. Multisigs and hardware wallets are not the answer for 99% of people.

Just connected to the Premium Relay! Testing this out after subbing to #PrimalOG!

I just became a #PrimalOG. Proud to support the development of @primal and the proliferation of Nostr!

Can’t stop thinking about this post by @Brad Mills

Adding further comment here because this will affect all blockchains that some will remain durable over time. If you believe in a multichain world,...

Working on it with my team at Pocket Network and Grove. Will follow up as soon as it’s ready. View quoted note →

@fiatjaf I'm curious if there is a need to have multiple gateways provide access to nostr nodes? We currently do that with other blockchains on Pocket Network via 7 gateways that are regionally distributed, and I wanted to discuss if this is something you would think would be useful.

New social networks require unique value propositions that large groups of people care about. Most people don’t care about censorship resistance or shadowbanning because most people aren’t affected until they are. A more unique front-facing set of features is needed. Zapping is not one of them either because most people still don’t care for bitcoin, let alone lightning. Nostr will struggle until it had a unique value prop. Hell, Farcaster has frames which is cool, but also not a good enough selling point. We’ll need full on dictatorships, be it authoritarian, or communistic in nature, plus ridiculous inflation in the west for any of these platforms to really take off. View quoted note →

Does anyone have a recommendation for a view-only bitcoin wallet for iOS that isn’t BlueWallet? That wallet is unfortunately very slow due to having a UX tethered to API calls completing their requests.

Grateful for another opportunity to stack sats!

Stacked so many more Sats this evening! Big fan of @jack mallers @strike!

No more lurking! Hello, #nostr!
