Just tried downloading from Zap Store, bundle is 290MB vs 40MB on Play Store. What's the difference?

Big miners have been and are going to do this anyway regardless of what nodes want, because nodes already accept much larger OP_RETURN sizes in mined blocks
... nodes already accept much larger OP_RETURN sizes in *mined blocks* ...
This change *is not* about changing about what nodes accept in blocks (consensus)
It's changing what nodes gossip about pre-block
It's saying that if nodes ignored the gossip, then folks will just tell the miners directly at a higher cost that they are so far happy to pay (shitcoin economics, see BRC20 vs. Runes)
"Core" is saying that pretending to not listen to gossip when you're going to accept the block anyway does not meaningfully stop spam, but it does affect miner centralization
Ironically, the only thing "Core" is forcing is a change that would actually hurt miners by reducing preferential miner fees and opportunities for miner centralization through degraded block relay
Ironically, the thing they are forcing is better for decentralization (accurate mempools, predictable fee estimates, less miner centralization pressure)
____
These are the arguments as I understand them so far, but I do agree that communication was handled poorly and that they should never the option to configure in and not force a single setting on nodes
But I also agree that the default should help decentralization and network health. So I agree that raising the default size of OP_RETURNs that nodes *gossip* about with an option to configure is good, given that there is already a much larger limit nodes will already accept in mined blocks today
None of these are consensus changes that can result in any sort of fork though. Nothing here changes what a valid mined transaction is. So comparisons to blocksize war don't really make sense to me because it's not the same game theory at all

Is there a swap service on signet yet too? Could be a good way to make your own inbound (cc @nprofile…3478)

Just be careful with small amounts onchain in case fees spike again in future

Oh that's interesting
Also interesting that Phoenix doesn't wake up if my phone is locked. It woke up fine in the background yesterday when my phone was unlocked and I was in the strike app

Just download a wallet that had lightning addresses in it:
- @nprofile…l3vp is a great ecash one
- @nprofile…tmj8 is a decent one if you're outside the US
- @nprofile…l6f0 allows you to link a self-custodial wallet to a lightning address
- @nprofile…89x0 is a nostr client with a built in wallet

Looks like there's no public channels on your node and no route hints in your invoices if the channels are private
There's supposed to be a setting to enable hop hints for private channels in btcpay if you do have private ones

Also, what about cashu options like @nprofile…l3vp? They're not self-custodial, but there's pretty good privacy guarantees for small amounts, and you can sweeping to self-custody once your balance gets to a certain level

Sad day indeed, we need tools that they can't deplatform you from ✊🏽
Also, don't forget to add your lightning address to your profile for zaps ⚡

I just finished watching @nprofile…uay6's talk and oh my god I didn't know there were so many other Nostr things out there 🤯
I pretty much only knew the early things (astral, snort, coracle) and now it's just Amethyst for me. I really need to start exploring!
Can anyone shill me a good list or resource of all the Nostr things folks are building?

Here's the story. We setup a geyser project as well and all zaps would be recorded there, so please consider sending some sats this way 🙏🏽

Alby, BlueWallet and WalletOfSatoshi as well probably. What _are_ folks using these days? 👀

Hi from Amethyst

@npub1gcx…nj5z looks like we can't do "Zap the devs" if any one of the devs doesn't have a lightning address linked here 👀

Ikr! They actually charged my card $4.46 but the extra is probably just Google's cut

From your explanation so far I don't think the multisig distinction matters. In both cases you'd simply be trading one asset (btc) for another (ecash tokens)
... and by this logic, couldn't I claim that I'm not depositing btc to something like Coinbase for custody, but simply trading btc for Coinbase ledger entries?

Only useful from any higher level accounting system that is using a lightning gateway below it (custodial systems like LNBits/Alby/Blink, ecash etc.)
You'd need to cancel the invoice on the lightning gateway (lnd in our case) directly after accounting for it in the higher level system

Christmas came early this year, guess the integration 🤩

They'v been really aggressive on nostr inside their own app
... which is really annoying when you consider that the only people who can zap those addresses and folks with IPs from select states 😑

What's that?
On searching I found "Hive Social", and then "Hive blockchain"?

Why cowardly, what should they have done differently if the pressure from the USG is likely happening now?
Alternatives were to:
- wait around un-registered in the US market and likely incriminate themselves further
- start pursuing kyc and compliance, which would also mean they'd absolutely need to shut down asap until compliant
They made the only move they could as a custodial service imo. It's why @npub13lj…cfhw has never served US users from the start

It's not bad when you zoom out
My math is, if I were to hypothetically load $1,500 a month in there to spend on expenses each month, I'd pay $6 in fees overall which is totally manageable for what you get from Phoenix
It's better to think of it that way than trying to compare to your own node or other custodial options

For the bitcoin devs, check out our custom bitcoin layer we've been building for the @npub1gal…z3t2 stack!
... it's got some pretty robust internal accounting built in and it's written in Rust 😉

@npub1xv8…lk3x @npub13sa…h4np any idea why we're getting a "failed to load invoice" error when trying to zap someone with a blink[.]sv address from the browser? (e.g. @npub1and…rxaw)
It seems to work fine from mobile apps

Can walk you thru it. Can you get the blink.sv app from that website? (it's not available in some countries)
