What's your favourite keyboard for #GrapheneOS? I'm hoping for decent voice-to-text. Must be open source, of course. 😎 #asknostr

To improve your Nostr data sovereignty, install Citrine via the Zapstore. It's a Nostr relay for Android. Why? * It ensures that you always have a local copy of your Nostr data, independent of third-party relays. * It works as a private relay so that eg. your drafts, lists, and settings are seen by only you. * It supports broadcasting events after you come back online. * It's easy to fetch all your existing data into it after installation. So: 1. Go to

GitHub

GitHub - greenart7c3/Citrine: A Nostr relay in your phone

A Nostr relay in your phone. Contribute to greenart7c3/Citrine development by creating an account on GitHub.

for info on how to install it. 2. Run it and fetch all your existing events into it (the UI is self-explanatory). 3. Add ws://localhost:4869 as both a local and private relay in Amethyst. That's all. Enjoy! (P.S. If you found this post useful, please consider zapping it. Thank you!) #Zapstore #privacy #nostr #Amethyst

Zaps make people and communities smarter, more efficient. The scarce, physical energy transferred by a zap amplifies the signal on what a group finds truly valuable, what it wants more of. It’s the most efficient way to convey that a need has been met, a problem solved, a new insight gained - from producer to producer.

Social media doesn't suck. Closed networks suck. Closed protocols suck. Algorithmic feeds, architected by those who wish to control you, suck. Providing your passport/phone number/photo/credit card in the hopes you'll be allowed to participate sucks. With Nostr, you choose exactly what you want to see. With Nostr, you decide who is "your people", rather than being bombarded with connections some billionaire wants you to make, masked as serendipity. With Nostr, you don't need an "account" to participate. You just download a client and start participating. With Nostr, you own the keys to your kingdom. #grownostr

In closed systems that rely on network effects, as adoption increases, innovation decreases. With every order-of-magnitude jump in network size, the cost of competing goes up exponentially. In open systems - with open protocols - that rely on network effects, as adoption increases, innovation accelerates. Every order of magnitude increase in network size *incentivises* competition. A larger (open) network unlocks fundamentally new ways to generate wealth. Rather than just improving unit economics for those willing to pay the gatekeeper for access to “their” network in very limited ways (usually advertising), creators are free to build something fundamentally new. New marketplaces. New communities. New platforms for people to share their art, or promote their ideas. It’s entirely possible that Nostr will deliver the most value to people who don’t even realise they’re using it. That the amazing app they use for livestreaming their concerts emerged from a radically open and #permissionless protocol with a funny, five-letter name. And it all happened while the gatekeepers didn’t even notice. Or, maybe they were watching, but could do nothing to stop it. #grownostr

#Monero users would strongly agree. 😎 View quoted note →

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?
