Can anybody explain to me why it is so difficult to find a great NOSTR app that doesn’t make it impossible to zap with my own wallet. I like the interface of Primal over Damus (especially for Zaps) but I can’t use my own lightning wallet (on iOS). I’m probably missing something, so if there are any experienced NOSTR users out there: help me out.

Yo @jack mallers I’ve been testing Strike Europe for the last couple of days. Really impressed with the speed and usability of the app. One question: I deposited EUR into my account. I’ve send 5 EUR from that account to someone in the US. He received USD (5.36 to be precise). The question: was the lightning network used in this tx? E.g. where my EUR swapped for LN BTC, send to US and swapped back for USD? Or did you swap EUR for USD? Thanks and keep it up, the app works like a charm. Also did some LN payments from and to my node, no issues there. image

I analysed Bitcoin's price against the top 40 fiat currencies: - 7 have exceeded their all-time high Bitcoin price - 9 are within 15% of their all-time high Bitcoin price - The Euro and Pound are 5% closer to their all-time high than the Dollar Bitcoin has reached an all-time high against seven currencies: the Hryvnia🇺🇦, Lira🇹🇷, Yen🇯🇵, Rupee🇵🇰, Peso🇦🇷, Rupee🇱🇰, and Naira🇳🇬. What do these countries have in common? They have all experienced significant inflation in recent years, leading to devaluation against the Dollar. The next cohort includes 11 currencies: Taka🇧🇩, Rand🇿🇦, Krone🇳🇴, Peso🇨🇱, Krona🇸🇪, Dollar🇳🇿, Shekel🇮🇱, Ringgit🇲🇾, and Forint🇭🇺. It's interesting to note that European countries Norway and Sweden are 10% closer to all-time high compared to the Euro. The British Pound💷 and the European Euro💶 are both 20.5% away from their all-time high bitcoin prices. This is 5% closer than the US Dollar💵, which is currently 25.8% away from its all-time high bitcoin price. It's clear that these differences have been sparked by the turmoil caused by the Dollar in recent years. Nearly every currency has depreciated against the Dollar, which is reflected in these all-time high percentages. However, there are three outliers... The Swiss Franc🇨🇭, Brazilian Real🇧🇷, and Mexican Peso🇲🇽 are all currently farther from their bitcoin all-time high prices compared to the US Dollar. This indicates that these currencies are among the few that have actually appreciated in value against the dollar. image

I made my own dedicated mempool terminal. The terminal itself is an old Hanimex Super 8 projector. I replaced the screen with an LCD and added a raspberry pi. The #[0] instance is pulled from my #[1] full node. I think it looks pretty dope next to my blockclock. image

We are raising bitcoin for the people that lost their home in the earthquake in Turkey. Our friend Mus is on the ground and making hot meals for the people who can’t return home. Donations are possible with lightning and on-chain. Let’s zap some sats to help the people who need it most.
