TheRefuge on Nostr: Conflating 'maintaining Nostr' with 'adding Monero/other token on an app' = ...

Conflating 'maintaining Nostr' with 'adding Monero/other token on an app' = "maintaining an app" is disingenuous, at best.

Even historically in the crypto space it has worked the same way.

Eg:
Q: You're the Polkadot ecosystem and want EVM compatibility with Ethereum?
A: Polkadot community builds the bridge.

Copy-pasta for Cosmos, Terra, Solana, Thorchain, NEAR, etc ecosystems.

Why is Monero (or any other token) the exception, is beyond me.

Harassing Nostr client makers to integrate it instead of forking the Nosmero piece into an open source git that some other client could readily integrate, if Amethyst hasn't already, for example, is a great start.

But all the Monero community has is this holier-than-thou attitude and the only thing they're actually good at is dissing. Dissing a client, dissing another token like Bitcoin, dissing an entire country like Iran coz "Monero bros know best", etc. Seen some ridiculous posts off late.

Shame.

Buy the token, ignore the community.
I appreciate nostr devs (even )

BUT
it is fucking ridiculous to assert "monero people" should be using their own custom client. this attitude is why we cant have nice things without moving to custodial LN.

i just want a client that lets me publish my supported payment networks.
(without the clusterfuck of mostly-implemented features amethyst has turned into)
