Lightning Network : our high-maintenance crazy-ex

A third look at the state of the Lightning Network from and end-user perspective

8 years of Lightning Network : our high-maintenance crazy ex

Now I want to filter out the actual discussions about OP_Return.

Went deeper into the rabbit hole of Nostr-services: nostrcheck.me is another one, I think they mean well and do good stuff ... but the website is unusable for normal users. What should be a 2 min. signup - onboarding is now a 35 min. ordeal to get the basics going. It's a puzzle. "please use the requested format"... said the interface... while there is no requested format, no syntax example, and the tooltip doesn't speak about any format... devs are so, so bad at explaining anything on their own website! PLEASE let your service be tested before you release stuff and waste everyone's time!

So, any good alternatives that stay up longer than 5 days for :; Coinos.io and for nostrplebs.com ?

So, trying to restore an @AquaBitcoin on a new device. It's not a good experience. copy-pasting gets all words in first text field typing one-by-one is on a 'secure' keyboard, making it hard to type the words in when the words are recognized as bip39, they appear in a blue ribbon, but if you click that word, it's not completed (which is stupid) when you type a word and go to the next one, and mis tap the screen, the previous word's text field is blanked out When you try to re-type the blanked out word, the previous word to that one is blanked out as well so you'll have to go back and re-do the whole thing again. It's unpleasant.

Re trying Aqua wallet after 3 months. Restoring a passphrase is still horrid experience.

coinos down nostrplebs relay down what's going on?

The main problem with lightning: No redundancy And that will be probably why it will never be used by companies unless they give a reliable solution.

Coinos bugged out completeley now... black screen... logins on other browsers (cached) don't work anymore. Nothin in or out ... 😟 real bummer as I just released a large long-read today. anyway... proves my point once again that testing and redundancy in bitcoin are absolutely NOT there yet

Since the NWC with coinos.. f'd up the whole account (can't do anything with lighting anymore overt there, can't even login...) if people want to tip me: use

Support Development | Alles Voor Bitcoin

I've put a walletofsatoshi QR code over there, since all the other solutions are buggy, more down than up, or unreliable...

If there wasn't an OP_return debate , alle these podcasters would be playing with their ....

I just released the " grand finale " of the 12 Food For Thought writings. "Bitcoin needs to slay monsters". It's a long-read. And you can listen to it as well on the audio version.

Bitcoin needs to slay monsters

A manifesto on the world we have to build (12 / 12th part)

Highlighter would be my go-to blog tool... if it wasn't for the "refresh" bug that pesters this whole interface. Logging in? refresh 2 or 3 times before it "gets" the key Want to start writing? refresh Want to type a title? Click in the title text field: nothing,... refrest 2x , the go back, then text field becomes writable. please fix bugs @Highlighter

Been on Nostr for a long time now. Still can't make zaps work decently. I zap notes, nothing happens. I connect alby: fails I connect with coinos + NWC (thanks for giving the actual string that you need to copy paste, you're the only ones doing that in a readable way). - still fails though. Receiving comes in on a totally different old wallet for some reason, don't know where or what. But that works. What does NWC exactly do? As it connects a lightning wallet to a nostr account? But how does the actual transfer done? Never works for me. I wonder how many people have the same issues, like being on Nostr but having zero benefits from zapping or getting zapped even.

@Keychat re- adding people and keys from users fail on latest version. 'signal session is null' And when scanning qr code you get index duplicate error. Even when deleting all previous connections

We should elect a Bitcoin pope. With orange smoke. But we all know that would cause Schrism.
