#Nostr is very fascinating and is somehow the melting pot of privacy and freedom entusiasts with the "social network" people. I really find it very strange and fascinating that these opposite and very different tendencies can exist together in one place. I'm still trying to understand which one I want to be... ...or can I be both?

Just witnessed an another episode of aggressive caching policy from some client, probably #Nostur. Someone zapped me and sats went to an lnaddress that I removed MONTHS ago from my Nostr profile. Unfortunately the address is an LnTipBot address, thus sats are gone. If you experience something similar with your clients, reach out to devs and signal this stuff. #calltoaction

Domain renewal saga here: finally, after several days in the mempool, the few bucks transaction that I used to renew one of my domains has been included in a block. MAKE YOUR BUSINESS ACCEPT LIGHTNING TRANSACTIONS! SETUP @BTCPay Server, ADD A LIGHTNING BACKEND AND YOU'RE DONE, NO BIG DEAL Paying onchain fees for few-bucks transactions is annoying

Wheneveer I start thinking that Bitcoin and bitcoin are winning, I look at my monthly expenses and businesses who I interact with. Less than 5% accept bitcoin. And I'm still very biased towards the bitcoin economy. We're very early, but it's time guys...we shall make the sats flow in the real economy. Plus, we need to make merchants accept lightning. I don't want to pay onchain fees to renew a 10 bucks domain ever again because some famous domain provider accepts bitcoin but still does not have LN payments in its BTCPayserver endpoint. End of rant. XD

I'm finally going to try the Nostr Obsidian plugin, created by @James and that's very very nice to be able to directly push long form written content to nostr!! One question for you @James, since you're working on nostr integration on a desktop app: is there an another way to authenticate on a Nostr desktop client other than directly inserting the privkey in the config files? I'm thinking about something like Amber, but dunno if that already exists for linux desktop. That feature would be amazing!

GM Nostr 💜 Imagine being a multibillionarie, being deplatformed and censured and thinking to solve this issue by creating your own social media. I guess that going Nostr only would have been a much cheaper choice
