Reading throught the Nostr spec, amazed how simple and elegant it is...

Do NOT use Telegram.
1. It is not end-to-end encrypted by default. Wtf UX is that you have to explicitly select encrypted chat!?) The default is BAD, it leads inexperienced users to shoot themselves in the foot.
2. Group are not encrypted. Seriously!?
3. It uses their own encryption, not the audited and trusted standard. Why? Its's ridiculous!
4. It has overall bad reputation. There are claims, that they are cooperating with governments.
Use signal.org , It does/has all above right.
(Of course, aboud Facebook, WhatsApp and plain texts. Those are 100% compromised.)
Are you using StreetCompletee? Its's like PokémonGo but instead of stupid Pokémonos you are actually helping to map the world. And it's fun! 😁

I have a list of sadness. Here is the Sadness #8:
There are no reliable NoKYC Credit Cards providers
Requirements:
- Card is bought (topped up) with Bitcoin (ideally Lightning Network)
- It must work over Tor or VPN (both aquisition of the card and the payment)
- Card must be worldwide accepted (usually prepaid card are not working at many stores)
I don't believe it ever be solved. Here and then a new company pops up, it works for a while and then its shut down by card provider, bank or the regulator.
