After all the discussions we had about on-chain privacy and the negative effects on the privacy of ALL users when identities are tied to a BTC address you have to put it on the front of the profile?
I want to be able to at least opt out of this!!

With the perception of Bitcoin being a tool for speculation and investment we won’t reap in more true believers. Because the true believers are here for freedom and agency, while the others are rent seeking and waiting for others to do the work.

This generational wealth idea will die together with bitcoin if no one spends their on-chain bitcoin or is only holding financial products built on Bitcoin. Who shall pay the tx fees for security?

An email is something private that you send to someone trusting that person honors your quest for not publicly disclosing their name. Jb could have just ignored or declined via email. It’s an asshole move to doxx someone and it has nothing to do with censorship resistance just being human and respect.

Address reuse is not only bad for the privacy of the whole network but also reused addresses will be an easy target for (in case they come) quantum computers as the public key has been exposed in a previous transaction.

I hope no one implements this for hardware wallets.
Yes. You can opt to use seed phrase. But no one will use it as it‘s „inconvenient“

Thanks for a link or info

OpenAI and everything that Sam Altman touches is to be avoided. Just remember Worldcoin. Same founder, same ethics.

At every Engen and Shell in South Africa. Ask for Scan to Pay payment and use @npub1y0f…m5py app to read QR. Open invoice in your LN wallet

They say: the bottom is in, the market is nervous, people are exiting their Bitcoin projects out of fear…
Me: I am buying petrol, clothes and groceries with bitcoin in South Africa. @npub1fqq…qzch has been on the Bitcoin standard since 2022 and we keep on.
Either you are convinced that Bitcoin is the best alternative money or not. Actions count.

Yes. @npub1fqq…qzch has been running on bitcoin only since its start. Purchasing whatever possible directly in BTC. Easy in South Africa with grocery stores, petrol stations, many coffee shops accepting it. Fantastic in Kenya where you can pay for anything via @npub1tan…8sax, esims at @bitrefill, hosting at Flokinet.is, Domains at Namecheap.com

One of the hardest things of being a digital nomad is that I have to work even in the nicest places.
Nature and beach are only 3 minutes away and I am still doing DNS entries for my newsletter tool and writing blog posts and and and…
Just a short rant.
My life is actually awesome.

But there must be clients that allow YT links, because I used them too. (As far as I remember)

I think they should be clearly marked as AI generated answers.

I am on Nostr daily, but I also don’t know how NIP-71 works….maybe it’s a sign that things either need to be self-explanatory or easier to use!?

Not good. 😢 But understandable after all the hate she got.

While the bots are going crazy, we humans connect IRL.
@npub1dk4…zmcn, Bitcoin Tofo (Mozambique), @npub1xxc…tfly (Zambia), and @npub1vpq…2e62 (Ghana). They are pioneers doing grassroots education in their communities and we @npub1fqq…qzch are proud to have been supporting all of them.
