@jb55 Minor @damus feedback: After opening an image the clickable X area to close the image seems too small. I often have to tap several times trying to close it but it either doesn’t register or it thinks I tapped the image

Balaji 90-day thing is alarmist and (hopefully) not a realistic timeframe but also more sensible than millions believing their savings are somehow held somewhere risk free

Obviously not. Why is anyone implying or asking this? No one wants a chaotic or violent transition. Some might expect it. No one wants it.

Kinda ironic that closing BTC onramps promotes non-KYC methods of accumulating BTC.

Not a Bitcoin or crypto attack though. USD bank card and PIN. And phone, presumably to prevent me from easily locking card. Inexpensive lesson in hindsight.

There’s no article. I got targeted. I didn’t know there were drugs like this til today but I can tell now this is exactly what happened.

These scopolamine attacks aren’t just a Colombia thing. It’s done in New Orleans and probably other party towns and tourist spots. If you’re gonna drink around strangers the private keys for the bulk of your coins need to be totally out of reach. Not in your hotel room, not somewhere you could make a phone call and retrieve them. Inaccessible. Because this drug can make you very compliant.

When do you expect there to be noticeable “bad for Bitcoin” impacts from those two failures? What will those impacts be?

Bitcoiners are more educated about Bitcoin and its risks than normies are educated about bank accounts and their risks so I think normie faith in banks is far more brittle than Bitcoiner faith in Bitcoin’s value.
It’s very easy to imagine millions or maybe billions of bank account holders all suddenly being like “wtf *that’s* how all this works??” in response to major banking system failures. I can’t really imagine Bitcoiners getting rugged en masse in the same way other than maybe if it turned out SHA256 is backdoored or Satoshi suddenly dumped his coins. Most of us accept that Bitcoin could go to 5K any time. Few accept or understand that they might suddenly not get a paycheck or be able to access their bank balance.

The irony is you can’t invent money that no one can print without also democratizing the printing of money.

Got it ok more like an IG feed

Initial thoughts on the iOS app from #[0] :
- Interesting to see a UI that isn’t based on Twitter. Having a post take up most of the screen regardless of the length of the content is clean looking but it’s gonna be too much swiping. Makes the feed impossible to skim.
- The app starts up empty half the time. No content. Hopefully an issue with the default (currently unmodifiable) relays that will be resolved soon.

Might be a decent way to mitigate spam. If (unuseful) bots don’t have real people followers they might not get into the feed much even if you set it real high like 20 degrees or something.

If you mean you want to see every reply to every reply in one big scroll I think that’s too much. Twitter seems to have found a sweet spot, but I can’t tell exactly what their ruleset is for which replies to show, how deep, and how to sort.

For me the Custom Zap Amount numeric keypad is covering the Zap button and the only way to get the keypad out of the way is to tap the Comment field which is also mostly covered by the keypad.

Awesome. Another thing is when zapping a post and entering a Custom Zap Amount it’s not obvious how to get back out of that field and complete the zap. There’s kind of a workaround if your screen is big enough that you can tap the next field but it seems like the numerical keyboard needs a Done button or something.

#[0] I’m on Damus 1.1.0 and in Settings I can edit the value in the Default Zaps Amount field but then exiting Settings in any way seems to reset it to 1000 sats. Am I doing something wrong?

Yeah except I heard the gif inventor pronounces it gif instead of gif which is obviously wrong

Yeah I wish Phoenix had LN addresses. I don’t know enough to know if that’s something Phoenix’s product model can’t allow for at all or if it’s a feature they could add.

Non-custodial zaps requires running a LN node, is that right? Which node and wallet software would you recommend?
