Hey, does anybody know how to get the NWC string of a Yakihonne wallet? That Lightning wallet you can create with the Yakihonne client. #asknostr

The biggest challenge in creating a "SAIFnostr" is reconciling two opposing poles: On one hand, we need to preserve the freedom and uncensorability that comes with such a decentralized protocol. On the other hand, we need to exercise a certain degree of control because we do have certain "harams". The first aspect requires complete release and surrender of control, while the other aspect, if we abandon all control, opens the door to everything we don't want. How do you find this balance on a technical level? That's precisely the core problem in creating a SAIFnostr. If any theoretical preliminary discussions are necessary at all, they need to revolve around this core question. Everything else is secondary for now. Have the SAIF chief theorists already addressed this problem?

Back in the 70s, historical movies often showed ancient civilizations like Rome, Egypt, or Mesopotamia as super decadent. They'd always had this ruling class that oppressed everyone else, acting like they were above the law and common decency, while the regular people were just treated as the rabble. Nobody back then would've ever thought that 50 years later, we'd be experiencing similar times all over again. image

Ugh, I was just about to post something super trivial. You know, the kind of stuff all those Nostrfluencers post here. The ones who can't come up with anything new anymore but somehow feel obligated to post some garbage every day just to keep their fans engaged. Thankfully, I managed to hold myself back. ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

Trump and Elon are going for a second round, like a freshly divorced couple. And the fact that Trump is threatening to withdraw subsidies in this personal (emotional) conflict, openly abusing power, doesn't seem to bother the MAGAs in the slightest. Apparently nobody knows what statesmanship is anymore these days. Idiocracy is in full swing.

So that the cantillionaires can keep printing money with impunity and never have to face the consequences of their actions during their lifetime. Meanwhile, the plebs can keep beating each other up over pre-fed nationalism, racism, and conspiracy theories. image

With everything that's going on in Europe, or what's being planned, I find it hard to understand how most people are still asleep, thinking Bitcoin is at best just a neat, modern addition to their investment portfolio. View quoted note โ†’
