Thanks much for an understandable, sensible, non-emotional explanation. I'd zap you some coin but ran into all kinds of kyc hurdles trying to use primal wallet and others here on nostr - but that's another can o worms.

you wont learn anything re BIP110 listening to the most recent RHR. @odell's rants were all emotional, personal attacks, with a FU conclusion based on speculation of the worst possible outcome of the BIP110 soft fork.

Hey @odell help me out. I'm afraid my ride or die journey to become a freak is ending & i don't wanna die. Usually i can find a sensible conclusion to your cryptic posts by researching previous posts & following back/forth argument threads to their end. Your BIP110 rants all lead to an emotional, personal attack, FU conclusion based on speculation of the worst possible outcome of the BIP110 soft fork. What if the BIP110 soft fork succeeds and results in less non-monetary data stored on-chain and some of the spam problem is mitigated? If all i see is an FU response then my advice to you is go back to twitter cuz all your doing here is bringing nostr down to twitter level.

anybody signed up for Starlink service anonymously? Just got a mini today and would like to get service without giving personal info. I realize the antenna's location will be logged but don't want personal info attached. Nothing nefarious, just a privacy freak. - i see some of your eyes rolling....'thats what they all say'

yeah, No kyc money was the primary reason i got into BTC. But more of those doors are closing than opening. Too many pseudo bitcoiners playing by the suits rules to make a buck -Strike, et al

Since launch, Square Online has shown impressive quarter-over-quarter growth. In percentage terms, it is the fastest growing ecommerce platform. In absolute numbers, it is now a mid-size platform in the ecommerce space, with approximately the same number of stores as established platforms like Magento.

isn't the @Alby wallet just as good or better than bull bitcoin and phoenix? why not give @Alby a mention also? Especially considering @Alby browser extension since many shop from their desktop. Alby Go mobile wallet available also. Don't think you have as many options w bull or phoenix.

Regarding older than..., I started my privacy journey way before the internet. Look up Robert Ringer. He advised to never associate your name with any real estate you own, especially your primary residence. Difficult & can be expensive but worth it.

Great work, love Zapstore! too bad it's under appreciated by some.
One question if you've got the time. Is something/somebody blocking Fountain app from install? Thanks.

not really specific to bitcoin/nostr but i'm very proud of this composition i created & recited in 3rd grade. figured i must memorialize it here.
There once was a man
Who became head of the U.S.
And wouldn't you guess
He was full of B.S.
needless to say my 3rd grade teacher was not thrilled with this limerick but the class loved it.

Ditto, thanks for the affirmation! 1 yr ago i decided against @strike account because i thought it might end in the horror story you described. @strike is not transparent. could not get details re their KYC policy without giving KYC info. No human contact/support, just like faceless fiat institutions.
Check out river.com -a different animal but much more transparent & customer oriented - i have no affiliation or experience with river but their web site has gobs of good info. only other options are cash.app for payments or @sqaure for point of sale (POS) stuff but these are pretty hi fee.
The bitcoin influencers keep up the "we are winning" mantra but i have my doubts. The only people winning are those bending the knee to the KYC tyrants.

KYC required for primal wallet stops me from "using bitcoin and nostr" together.
Not trying to be an a-hole, but just figured out why i can't activate my primal wallet. Also, while searching for info regarding primal wallet, a lotta posts indicate users are not even aware they're KYC'd. Maybe (hopefully) they're nubees, but it does seem to me that primal is not very transparent regarding KYC info.
Still admire your work and dedication, from a wannabee ride or die freak.

a quick glance @ the 1st line in jack’s post & i thought this was a Public Service Announcement telling us to get off our phones and strike up a real conversation with a real person around me.
this clicked open the thought of an AI app for introverts. Voice input their immediate situation, where they are, who is around, what's the function, venue...etc. The app will give him/her the perfect opening line to start a human to human conversation.
realizing that for this to work as intended there must be an all caps, bold message "TURN THE PHONE OFF AND PUT IT AWAY BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOUR CONVERSATION. I thought, wow this app could really help save civilization.
then i thought how ironic and impossible the app is. An AI app to get humans to act like humans. The final picture came into my human brain. Two humans speaking to each other, looking only at their phones in hand. We are doomed, AI agents using humans as their communication channel.

Hey Matt, what makes somebody a ride or die? what makes somebody a freak? I think i may be one or the other, maybe both. You should have some freaks & ride or dies on RHR like you had genz'ers. I'd like to know more about these people so i can become a better ride or die freak.
