What's your go-to #Bitcoin wallet for day-to-day spending? What are its killer features for you? #asknostr

@Zapstore I'm trying to install #bitchat 1.6.0 and keeping getting an error, "App did not fully download." Happens repeatedly.

Credit where credit is due: #CoveWallet is slick. And offers key features needed for those who actually use #Bitcoin day-to-day: * hot and cold wallet support * beautiful UI * transaction exports * shows the transaction memo inline in the listing (small, crucial detail for making sense of transactions) We need more wallet developers (especially in #Monero) that obsess over #ux like this. ColdCard + Cove + #Cashu feels like a very sweet combo (though I’ve not tried Cove with a hardware wallet yet.)

What’s the cheapest path from on-chain #Bitcoin to a #cashu wallet?

@Cake Wallet I love Cake, but wondering: when can we expect to see support for transaction exports? The lack of this feature makes it borderline unusable for me for day-to-day use. (Manually capturing transactions in a spreadsheet is agonisingly painful. 😎)

Programmers have a saying: Don't Repeat Yourself. (Duplicate code is a maintenance burden.) But when it comes to spreading a message, here's a better version: Repeat Yourself. State your message, clearly and concisely. Over and over. When you think you've made your point loudly and clearly, make it again. Say it one way. Say it another way. If you're worried about sounding like a broken record, don't be. Spaced repetition isn't just a trick for learning languages or chess openings. It's a tool for amplifying your signal. Use it.

Also, resist the temptation to think that your users *should* care about #privacy and #freedom. A chef thinks that people should care about how food is made and where it comes from. A vegan thinks you should care about animal welfare. A doctor thinks you should care about eating healthier and exercising more. A (naive) programmer thinks that you should educate yourself more about technology. An environmental activist thinks you should focus on reducing consumption. A politician thinks you should get more involved in democracy. Our attention radius is limited. You can try to bonk people over the head convincing them to care about something they don't. Or you can tap into a problem they *do* care about and bundle the payload of your real mission alongside a solution so good they can't ignore it.

How to sell people on the value of #freedomtech? Sometimes the best way to win people to cause X is to win them to cause Y - which is a much more compelling cause to them - knowing that more people doing Y ultimately means more people doing X. For example, Jacob Lund Fisker created an amazing site and community called Early Retirement Extreme: https://earlyretirementextreme.com/ It offers a revolutionary approach to achieving financial independence early in life. It focuses on radical anti-consumerism and a Thoreau-like self-reliance. Many people followed his advice and retired in their 20s and 30s. But: Fisker openly acknowledged that his real motives were ecological. He just shrinkwrapped the push for lower consumption in the incentive of financial freedom, to appeal to a much wider audience. He embraced their self interest to further his own. So: For those seeking to attract users to their #private/#decentralised/#permissionless freedom tech app, maybe the killer feature for those who want what you're building is none of those things at all. Maybe it's something else your product offers that you aren't bigging up enough, such as: * Low fees * Low/no server/licensing costs * Speed of getting up and running * Beautiful UI * Similar to another product in that space - but blazing fast * Seamless integration with XYZ In fact, maybe the best way to win people over to freedom tech is to ship a thing that solves the user's problem so well that the fact that it *also* offers tremendous freedom/privacy/sovereignty benefits can be enjoyed without distracting from their focus on the problem at hand.
