Using a signing device *but* storing your seed in your iPhone's notes

@PABLOF7z I'm wondering how exactly the new Patreon-like subscription feature works in Highlighter, bacause it seems to me I didn't have to create a NWC connection as I expected to. But I had to sign a kind 7001 event (that's new, isn't it?) which contained the details about my sub (amount, frequency, my pub key and a random id). So my guess is the Highlighter client digest this kind of events and, the next time I open it in a month it will prompt my wallet (e.g. Alby) to create another zap request. Because else I don't see where a connection was established between highlighter and Alby. Thanks!

Ngl this technique works scarily well on me

Just published the latest issue of Latest Strikes yesterday evening. Wondering how exactly @ZEUS is destroying the Lightning Network? Thought it was already doomed due to replacement cycling attacks? It's in there, and more! 👇

Latest Strikes 59 - October 16th-22nd 2023

Hey there, Lightninger! Last week was a busy one, with a big discussion around a new Lightning vulnerability, self-custodial Lightning Addresses, a...

PS: feel free to zap if you wish to contribute to the destruction of the network! I promise I'll settle those quickly 😁

Re Lightspark/UMA, a thing that some people don't seem to quite get is that it isn't really about KYC itself. Rather, it is about the standardisation of it on top of a pre-existing open protocol. What if UMA become predominant over vanilla LNURL? How long 'till it kills it, like Google killed XMPP? That's how you will a decentralised network, as brilliantly articulated [here](https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html). There's a clear path in which "compliant" extensions of open protocols become so widely adopted by the public that you either comply, or be exiled to the confines of cyberspace. What is happening now to LNURL will come to Lightning itself. The openness of the protocols we use & love means there is no way to prevent States and Corporations to implement their own controlled versions of it. The only hill we can really fight on is acceptance and awareness. And I think the earlier we fight back, the better our chances. As Eric Hugues [wrote](https://nakamotoinstitute.org/cypherpunk-manifesto/): "We cannot expect governments, corporations, or other large, faceless organizations to grant us privacy out of their beneficence. It is to their advantage to speak of us, and we should expect that they will speak."

(L/VA)SPs are useful, but there's no such thing as a free lunch, as is demonstrated once again.

Yo Nostr! Are there any fellow 🇮🇹 or 🇫🇷 Bitcoiners living near the frontier who would be done for meeting up? I just moved to [REDACTED] (France), I can straight up walk to Italy, and I'm thinking I'd love to see more of this transnational love and understanding that Bitcoin brings to us plebs. Who's done?

Seeing some pictures here and there: is BHB2023 hosted in a warehouse?

Coming soon to a block explorer near you

Good yard nostriches

The latest issue of [Latest Strikes](https://blog.lnmarkets.com/latest-strikes-48-august-1st/) is out. It delves into some notable news that happened in the Lightning world last week: - how a user took advantage of a bug in @Stacker News - @nodeless.io becoming open source (thanks to investors not grasping how cool it is) - the @Human Rights Foundation / @HRF (RSS Feed) and @Voltage partnering to help activists worldwide integrate Lightning into their online presence - many wallet news (mostly custodial ones: @Alby,@`blinkbtc`, Mash) - looping out to an external xpub - splicing merged into Core Lightning (cc @Blockstream 🚀) - and the blueprint of real-word data gathering for endorsement-based reputation systems to help fight channel jamming. As always, baked with 🧡 and ⚡️

I’m currently trying @nos.social on MacOS again after a long time, and I must say this client is sharp! Notes and content load quite quickly, the general experience is very smooth. The “Discover” panel is interesting, although its format is quite different from the “Feed” one. Me likey.

The .channel TLD was made generally available in June this year 👀

Awesome stuff! Wondering whether it would be interesting to add the ability for the funding to "trickle down". The package developer could add a `recursive` property in the package.json funding area, which would be a decimal between 0 and 1 describing how much of any received funding would be automatically sent further down to other packages devs. It could be achieved even more granularly by combining PkgZap with ZapSlitter.
