@Oscar Merry fountain subs are buggy. You say sub from $5 (5.530 sats) which is then converted to $55.30 incorrectly and that amount is calculated in sats (61.162) . This is a serious bug fix it soon.

@cloud fodder Trex stopped working, cannot browse events on my relay. It's not showing any events when I put in a specific kind that must exist (eg kind9 as chat msg). Tried desktop and mobile, neither works. Otherwise curious about this issue as well: Can't auth to my relay with nak, but only when I want to send events. Returns "Failed... you must auth" I gave it the auth flag and otherwise when I run "nak req ..." it works. Only problem is when I want to post. Other relays also auth alright (e.g. filter.nostr.wine) Appreciate your help. Due to the nak problem + trex not showing I cannot delete any events from my relay.

Today I started to implement a new #WoT UX for #SatShoot . Client-side Web of Trust is already working, taking extended social follows, mutes and reports into account. New users are bootstrapped with SatShoot account follow network (can be switched off in settings) Plan for improvements: 1. Implement Mutes as blocklists. Network (ppl you follow) mutes can remove from WoT but user-mutes (kind 10k) will hide blacklisted ppl from Services and Jobs feed. You can still land on a profile page or service/job landing page of a blocked user avatar will be shown as blocked. DMs will be blocked from these ppl and there's no way to allow them in Reputation calculation. Only affects visibility 2. You will be able to show/hide ppl outside WoT in Job/Service feed 3. I will implement #Vertex analysis in Profile pages. I will query top 5 reputable follows (personalized). I will make this feature paid (thinking 100 sats / query) but Vertex is not yet able to handle ecash or LN payments easily so I will get some credits myself. I'll cache the result so it will be reusable. Will show the user if he follows any of those reputable followers of the analyzed pubkey. I think of this as sort of a fallback or extra info for the user to be able to trust more and eventually follow people in freelance context (kind30k) which is explicit trust in SatShoot. Later community memberlists of uswr can be added as well, when they come alive. Plan to demo this in the #wotathon later. Thoughts? #devstr

#Ecash bears will have a hard time explaining why self-custody Lightning fees are skyrocketing when Bitcoin adoption hits new levels. ... Or why we still won't have a single self-custodial LN wallet that competes on UX with fiat wallets. Think in spectrum rather than religious dogma. Black and white. We need multiple solutions with all kinds of different tradeoffs for a gamut of use-cases. Do you think #Zeus wallet adopting ecash was a simple decision? Do you think they don't care about Self-Custody? They did what reasonable people do: act in a careful and smart way to meet people where they are.

In my demo of BudaBit in #Bitfest I was asked if I was after the 10BTC bounty originally promised by Jack Dorsey to replace GitHub. My answer has always been: I really don't care about bounties as primary incentives to build anything in freedom tech. I like when people donate to worthy projects but that motivation alone gets nowhere. I build #SatShoot and #BudaBit for my own goals: Making code collaboration and digital work platformless and social. I put my own sats and time in my projects and will see how far that goes. If people find it useful enough they will contribute in ways they can, money or otherwise. I already received a lot of support from many people in the space which I am really grateful for. But receiving charity support is not my goal.

#Ecash people fret the critics too much. Just remember: Attention doesn't have polarity. Successful projects capitalize on this fact. Bitcoin too.

NUT13 seeds and NUT14 HTLCs make #Cashu #ecash safe. Nostr NIP60-61 make ecash ubiquitous and allow zaps to build verifiable Reputation. They both will soon be available in [SatShoot](https://satshoot.com) and any Nostr web app using NDK: View article →

#Cashu seed backups (nut13) are coming to Nostr wallets (nip60-61), thanks to @rodant ! Reckless people feel free to test on [SatShoot](https://satshoot.com) . Recovery needs some more work but it's getting there. Cashu.me recovery should already work.
