Nostr has not one good client. What a sad state of affairs if devs can't even see that you need profile plus a USERname that just works as wallet and username at the same time. NiP05 providers 4/5 fail miserable at onboarding.

Hey#amethyst why is there no 'zaps' or 'wallet' option in your menu? That's like the first thing normal users will look foe after customizing their profile Hi to configure zap sending?

Engagement on nostr for me (with about 330 followers) is close to 1 to 5 people. It's incredible high-effort and low return (return as : real signal and engagement). Still trying, but wondering if others feel the same nose-dive in interactions last could or weeks?

Probably the inventor of the wheel, was laughed at, because something round was too much work in order to having to roll it around yourself. Technical NIH syndrome is at all time high.

First RELEASE : v1.13 is LIVE now. You have your TimeSeed? Then you can communicate securely. Derive secure passwords from a single seed with "TimeSeed.io". An Open-source, standalone, no middlemen, no tracking, no central server, no pub/private key — just pure privacy & control. Development is pure Value4Value (if you want this to expand and continue, please contribute, we're grassroots).Read the Quick start or How it works guide to get your (small) learning curve going.

So... bitcoin Knots : when you reset your custom filters, it asks you to reboot. Then there's some pop-up, and when you're not careful, and click next (like most of us do) you'll revert to "pruning" mode. F'ing up your whole block database and index in the process. When you "downgraded" from Bitcoin Core: both setups are from that moment f'd up. So... I uninstalled both and be done with it. I'm no longer a node runner, because after 16 years, they didn't learn how to make a node that just has a good interface, and is just good in being a node, instead of a political ego trip game. The actual command line commands also mostly don't work and the 'help' (even if you follow it literally) is no help at all... I'm so done with that ****. I'll check back in 2 years or so... see if anyone came up with something that actually works fine and has no stupid "filter" wars going on.

So, I went over the Bitcoin Knots default settings in their spam-filtering. And I noticed the settings for minimal transaction fees. I don't think this is very positive to just enable as-is. But that's just my opinion. Maybe someone should go over all these settings one-by-one and see how this impacts some legit functions. (yes, it prevents spam, but let's look at what we're doing here). (also it sets it by default to pruning... but that's a separate issue... ) example: bytespersigop=20 (Equivalent bytes per sigop in transactions for relay and mining) bytespersigopstrict=20 (Minimum bytes per sigop in transactions we relay and mine) Increased Costs for Sigop-Heavy Small Transactions: Small transactions with many sigops (e.g., complex multisig or script-heavy transactions) will have their effective size inflated by the 20 vbytes per sigop rule. For example, a transaction with 5 sigops is treated as having an additional 100 vbytes (5 × 20), significantly increasing its fee requirement to achieve a competitive fee rate. This makes such transactions more expensive to confirm, potentially discouraging their use unless the sender is willing to pay higher fees.

Question for the coders on here that use Github; If I have a project that works fine, and is a standalone html page with some script in it: can I just dump it on github 'as is' in html or do I need to post the script separately in order for people to have it ? I don't see the point, as it's just a webpage. Any help is welcome. close to release here

Testing this new tool I'm creating for 4 months now. And it's amazing to me how little "normies" care about privacy and encryption. Literally clicking on two buttons and copy-pasting an optional srting... is "too complicated". However, they'll gladly tinker with 20 filters to make their face look 10 years younger than they actually are on insta.

working hard to release this tool... TimeSeeds will allow anyone to communicate with a correspondent freely and securely, with no central server or authority and math based / and time based encryption ... best of all; it's easy to use (testing along with some totally non-tech people). Low-effort (not zero, that's impossible without central compromises) and very versatile. (no middlemen, no "service" fee, no central server) soon....

Pluchies jumped the shark 🦈

Your Bitcoin is always safe. You safe is always Bitcoin. Bitcoin always saves you .

Launching soon. Building. We need more tools to 'slay the monster's as I wrote about in the Substack series. #TimeSeed will be a tool for good and evil. It I'll be math, entropy and encryption.

Encryption and DNS use will be the front lines in our fight against the EU-junta. #timeseed will help you with that. Soon...

We have to resist. And the only way to do it, is to make encryption gear again. #c@y1lbs,bdjuz :)

Yow @NowClaw Can you create a post that will be liked by at least 3 people here? You can make a meme out if it if you like.

Awesome to see people not only fixing bugs, but taking care of different versions of their software. Loge to see the progress. #danawallet

Are bitcoin #conferences Proof of complacency?

Most bitcoiners can't think strategicly. They still think they can stack sats and out-reproduce stupidity of the locust plague of fiat. Be more evil, organized, instead of promoting grifterd and donating to fiat enemies.

Time since last block ...
