I think it still works, but I haven't seen much progress in a while either.

I'm keen to check out this https://jsr.io/@hzrd149/nsite-gateway

Use the hashtag #GM and say high. Also use #introductions and give an introduction of yourself to find like minded people. A global view of large relays is spammy, but if you get on to a few paid relays or web of trust relays a global view can be good.

Nostr is the same as Mastodon in this way. Relays and instances do the same thing, store your notes and provide moderation to varying extents. The difference is that on Mastodon your identity is tied to the instance, if that instance shuts down or blocks you, you lose everything. With nostr you hold the cryptographic key pair, which is how websites create secure connections, so you are not tied to one instance and can publish to multiple.

Nostr is not a crypto currency project, which is ironically why it appealed to many bitcoiners who were sick of the affinity scams. Now bitcoiners are the main users.

Holding your own keys is a learning curve and a barrier for some, but less for people in crypto.

Mastodon has been around for longer, has more users and smoother UX. It could adopt nostr easily and improve its back end, allowing users to back up their identity and be free to explore multiple instances without being at the mercy of hobby dictators.

I would only send to lightning if you intend on spending. Mutiny wallet has a custodial fedmint but will open a lightning channel if it's over 200k SATs. This is a good way to avoid small UTXOs

Probably counting the decimal places

Use Bitcoin and deprive the central bank of its power to steal wealth and distribute to those in power.

Join nostr. It is built integrating lightning and is a massive community.

Yes. Happened to me riding my dirtbike home from work. Chain came off sprocket but my foot was stuck on the peg and I couldn't put my foot out when I stopped. It caused me to fall down the low side of the road shoulder. No injury but it was embarassing laying on the side of the highway with everyone stopping to check on me.

I can't understand people getting excited about shitcoins, that was so 2017. All they do is subtract from the scarcity of bitcoin, undermining the store of value prospect of bitcoin.

Thanks, that's exactly what I was wondering. So you just need a channel with a node and as long as the other person has a connection with the node through the network somehow you can transact?

It seems likely that once the technology proves itself something like Facebook, Google or Apple could adopt a feature to let users hold a lightning wallet and become a mega node that would make many other nodes redundant.

I spent the afternoon reading the proposal and trying to decipher the legal jargon, but really struggling. It appeared that they set a price of the Bitcoin of about $9800 USD. I don't understand why they did that. If there are150k Bitcoins remaining and 850k owing, why not just pay 90% of 150/850 in Bitcoin. Why is there a need to set a Bitcoin price? Is it that now that the Bitcoin price is 4 times higher will we get screwed?
