What's the smoothest and most seamless zap experience? Using Primal and Amethyst. Primal wallet didn't let me sign up as Larry Fink, so I'd like something non KYC. I have my own lnd node that's self custodial and always running with Start9. I have it connected to Zeus wallet. I have a minibits wallet for receiving which works okay but sometimes fails for reasons I don't know. I also have Mutiny wallet which I have used for sending, but have had channel closes quite often which is annoying. Ideally I'd like to come as close as possible to one click zaps without having to leave the Nostr client, and without having to open up another wallet app at all to send. Mutiny is good but when I open it up say once a day to send zaps that I've made throughout the day, it sometimes loads slowly and I never know whether it's finished sending all the zaps or still working on loading them. That plus the force close issue makes for an annoying experience. For receiving I don't care if I have to open a wallet to finish the process, but I want to be able to open it a week or a month later if I want and still receive the zaps. Is that doable? #asknostr #questions #zaps #lightning

Has anyone read "Bullshit Jobs" by David Graeber? I remember reading it a few years back and being so impressed by the research and data in the first few chapters. He goes into detail with lots of anecdotes about how many of the jobs today are complete bullshit and provide no value to anyone. He even points out how there's often an inverse correlation between how worthwhile a job is and how well it pays. Then instead of asking the obvious question, how government and corporations can afford to pay millions of people to do nothing productive, he went full retard and blamed everything on "capitalism" 🤯🤔. What a disappointment. He had all the evidence to point directly to the monetary and banking distortions of economic forces, and instead he ended with a Marxist delusion of UBI and central planning where somehow everyone will magically become more productive through less incentive and we'll all sing kumbaya and become nuclear physicists and brilliant poets in our spare time after working 4 hours per week and somehow maintaining civilization with robots and AI. Excellent book, but someone really needs to take his data and draw conclusions based on a real understanding of economics and the monetary system. It's just depressing how someone can get the data so right, and the causes and solutions so wrong.

It's a matter of when, not if...

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Is "contented woman" an oxymoron? 🤮 #memes

Just posted an article on UBI, giving my comments and criticism on @The Progressive Bitcoiner episode with Scott Santens. Big shout-out to @Trey Walsh and @Margot Paez / jyn urso for tackling a topic they know will get a lot of criticism from the Bitcoin community! Agree or disagree, I respect anyone who voices their opinion, and appreciate the effort they put into the show. Check out the article, and give the episode a listen. And subscribe to their podcast, because even if you don't agree, there's nothing more boring and intellectually cowardly than living in an echo chamber. I'd love to hear your feedback in the comments! And if you want to see my future articles, consider subscribing to my Substack. I don't promote it anywhere outside Nostr, so your support means a lot.
