First time using @Fountain 👌👌👌 Great episode, especially the second half about non-devs messaging devs in regards to "cleaning the toilets on the spaceship" - I totally get that. I am sure I can bring something to a team/project just not the hard coding. I just need to step up - thanks for the confidence boost.

Two months on Nostr and I'm still loving it. Cheers for making this space.

Are there any alternatives to Google Pay, Samsung Pay, PayPal etc for digital fiat wallets? I've come across Cards and Curve Pay, but just a tad unsure. Yet I don't want to succumb to using Google. Is there a FOSS, privacy focused Wallet?

Strictly Come Dancing on the telly while trying to write a blog on self sovereignty is a headache of a juxtaposition.

Relays, in this case specifically lightningrelay, is constantly "unsuccessful" when posting. My understanding is that the server could be "down" for whatever reason (unlikely) or it could be me (my settings or profile) or it could be relay specific demands. Is that about right? What is the likely reason for "unsuccessful" posts? #newb #nostr #pleb #plebchain

I pop the radio on every morning, I like a bit of music first thing, that and a cuppa. And then the news interupts my enjoyment. For the past couple of month I have realised an increase in the mention of 'cryptocurrency' and always in negative ways - today was in connection to cocain and the Russian war machine. I am not blind to the potential uses, scams and risks of cryptocurrencies, as I am not to those of fiat money either. I've simply observed the increased use of the word 'cryptocurrency' in association with negative news stories. No accident. No mention of freedom, decentralization or safety. No balance of pros and cons, no mention of the challenges involved or the potential. Just 'cryptocurrency' = negativity. Drip drip.

Hey ##nostr I've just set up a @Fountain account, looks good. I've linked it to nostr and the feed is obviously full of podcasts and tunes. Q: how are the two linked? If I post a bangin tune or podcast in nostr is it auto populated on fountain? What about fountain to nostr? Otherwise looks good 👌🙏

Bugger me it's cold and blustery

It's cold and wet (ice and slushy) It's a great day (progress is made) Smiles are on faces Plans are afoot

Can anyone school me on mobile SIM vs eSIM security and privacy please? My understanding is eSIM's are better, but my brain doesn't want to believe it 🙃
