Why would you do that to yourself? Up to 4 hour flights in economy are doable. Over that, it's just torture.

I have.
Keystone has 3 types of firmware available. One for BTC + DeFi shitcoins, one for BTC + XMR + ZEC, and one for BTC only.
If you want to use privacy coins and also play with the DeFi, you’re shit out of luck, unless you don’t mind spending 10+ minutes flashing a new firmware every time you want to use one or the other.
The hardware itself is secure (audited by the best of the best AFAIK) and has some nice features that the competition lacks, such as the ability to store up to 3 different seeds. This would solve my problem of not having to travel with multiple Trezors IF there was a firmware that supported all crypto I’m interested in, instead of separating it by use case into its own set of firmwares.
The Zcash integration with Zashi still needs some work. Zashi only supports a single transparent address, so you need to reuse it before you can shield your coins, which somewhat nukes your previous privacy. Also, you don’t really know whether you’ve correctly imported your Keystone wallet into Zashi because there is no way to confirm the generated Zashi addresses with Keystone.
Overall, I’m hopeful for the future but I can’t recommend this setup to anyone yet.

Are there any videos on how Cashu’s nut-21 is supposed to work on the wallet side? I set up authentication for my mint via Ory Hydra, but I can’t test my setup because I have no idea how to auth a user. Is the wallet supposed to redirect user to the auth page automatically? Is the user supposed to do something? I wasn’t able to find any info apart from the nut-21 spec, which isn’t really helping.
I’d be okay hiding the mint behind Tailscale and adding the mint users to my Tailscale network too. However, Nutshell mint has some issues with HTTP requests over Tailscale so I can’t even connect my wallet to it.

No wonder. Many of us had generational wealth and families destroyed by communism.

You can't use zcash privately AND securely. Unfortunately, there's no HWW support for shielded addresses yet.

Yeah hit me up if you run into any issues.

Weird. Even the manual setup is fairly easy to do. Have done it myself several times. Wrote this tutorial in case you wanna give it a try again (although using docker is the recommended way) https://freedomnode.com/blog/how-to-setup-btc-and-lightning-payment-gateway-with-btcpayserver-on-linux-manual-install/

Went right over my head :D I spent last 2 days hacking the events “pagination” thingy so not much energy left for social interactions lol.

You mean directly on the relay side, right? I was thinking about building a simple rest api for my relay just for the search. I guess centralized search is slightly better than no search at all in my case.

Do you know if anyone has proposed one?

What about the rest? Do you download all notes every time the app is open? I’m torn between doing just that (like pretty much every other client) and subscribing and resubscribing just for chunks of data as needed. However relays don’t seem to like this approach as they sometimes reply slower with subsequent resubscribes.

Is it possible to search in nostr remotely? I'm building a lightweight client that doesn't follow the typical nostr approach of downloading everything from every connected relay to a device and doing search on top of the local data.
I don't see how this approach scales in the future.

Hey PWA nostr devs. Do you store notes in browser’s localStorage/indexedDB? If yes/no why?
I’m building a client in Preact and deciding on what to store persistently.

I know the difference between nostr and a client (I’m building one on preact btw). I just thought by “here” he meant a channel or something.

I see, I thought you were referring to a channel which afaik don’t work on Damus yet. I see lots of seemingly random chatter but have no idea where it’s coming from.

What is “here”? I’m on Damus and a bit confused about what exactly you’re referring to.

I’m kinda afraid to make mine public yet.
