Has anyone bought BTC with cash by mail on Bisq? How was the process? I've used RoboSats before but have very little free time to go through the trade flow. #asknostr #bisq

Got Nostr RS Relay running on StartOS. Added the hex of my npub to the whitelist there and added the ws://...onion as my Public Outbox in Amethyst. Is that the right way to configure this? #amethyst #start9 #asknostr

Lykke Li had some bangers. Totally forgot about her, then heard a remix of one of her songs the other day.

Anyone want to use YouTube comments to coordinate a collaborative transaction? Want to see if we can get YouTube shutdown for acting as an unlicensed money transmitter. #FreeSamourai

What if an LSP were setup as a 501c3 instead of as a business? Would it then be legal to operate in the US (for now)? #asknostr

Been using boltz.exchange a lot recently with Minibits and I have to say, this seems like a simple way to gain privacy. I have sats with questionable opsec in Liquid, so I use boltz to move sats into Minibits, wait, then in a day or two, use boltz to move those sats into a different Liquid wallet. Even easier if you have sats in a Lightning wallet to begin with. Once you have a decent stack in Liquid, you can use boltz to convert back into BTC if you choose. - Always connect to boltz over Tor. - Always use Tor or a VPN on the device running Minibits. - Green can be used for L-BTC and it can be configured to run over Tor as well. - Use random or random-ish values (ie don't send exactly the same amount into Minibits as you take out later) Risk Risk tolerance is up to you. Minibits regularly has withdrawals of up to 100,000 sats each day (about $70 as of today), so you have somewhat of a crowd to hide in. I consider Minibits much more experimental than Liquid, so I don't assume my sats are 100% safe when parked there. The idea is that Minibits is a pitstop only for breaking any links those sats might have. If something goes wrong and my small stack of sats ends up as an unintentional donation to the Minibits team, I wouldn't lose much sleep over it. Liquid is run by a federation that could theoretically collude and steal all the funds, but it has a long track record and if they were to exit scam, that would be the end of Liquid (and Blockstream) and all of the infrastructure they have built would be for nothing. Still, only keep funds in Liquid that wouldn't be devastating to lose. If you feel anxious about the amount of L-BTC you've accumulated, you can use boltz to swap back into real BTC. Fees As of today, sending 50,000 sats from Lightning to Liquid will cost you 544 sats on boltz ($0.38) Liquid to Lightning is even cheaper at 198 sats ($0.14) minibits.cash blockstream.com/green torproject.org #opsec #privacy #minibits #liquid #boltz

Today is a good day to buy BTC P2P with no KYC.

I've started turning off the house wifi at night to limit EMF exposure (haven't researched it deeply but it is a low cost intervention). Anyway, wife's iPhone will connect when I restart the router, but says no Internet. We have to "forget" the network and reconnect, which is really annoying because the password is like 26 random letters and numbers. What is the issue? Don't seem to have the same problem with Android. #asknostr

How's this setup? Bought a Pixel 6a with cash. Never connected it to my home wifi. Flashed it with GrapheneOS. Only connect via always-on Tor on a GL-AX1800 router. Download Zeus via Obtainium. Buy <$600 USD on Robosats each time using CashApp on my other phone and have it payout to Zeus via Lightning. CashApp is obviously the weakest link as they have all my info, but the seller on Robosats only sees my $cashtag and transactions <$600 seem unlikely to trigger some kind of investigation. Thoughts? #opsec #p2p
