Oh boy that hypes me up.

Back in the day I used to host a spigot Minecraft server, I had some dreams about build some sort of NANO-backed economy but I never realized it, mainly because of the centralized nature of a Minecraft Server. On a second thought, could’ve created a forge plugin to at least address the custody issue. Anyway, how do you think a “nostr game” should work?

Alternative headline: “AOL still exists”

Now I feel called out because of the state joke I posted earlier.

Didn’t proton run into some hot water by snitching its users or something?

I suppose things are different in your country then, but in Brazil it’s just as I described. Works the same for both fintech and conventional banks. Monopoly money aside, even a BTC wallet starts at zero so it’s not unheard of. Still, even if LN channels were “free” you still need to understand when and why you need to open/close them, the whole thing is not exactly as plug and play as normal transactions from a UX perspective. Just my two sats.

A functional programmer, an anarchist and a nixOS user walk into a bar. These are all the same person and he won’t stop talking about state. Oh god please make him stop.

aktchually… you can, some won’t even wait for your first deposit before issuing debit and sometimes credit cards.

I believe “cumbersome” is the keyword here, unfortunately.

I believe the hardest “step” to self custodian zaps is the amount required for locking in a LN channel.

The client ecosystem seems very extensive though, do you have any specific rough edges in mind? I used to work a “fuller stack” job (embedded/IoT + backend + frontend) so I can relate to some issues and who knows, fix something? Took me long enough to contribute back to open sauce.

Context: I’ve been basically living under a rock for the past 5 years, eating and breathing work until I got burned out, so I lost track of what happened to the stuff I like and the world in general. So I was asking… ChatGPT… for alternatives to zer0net, as the project appears to be dead now, and Nostr, despite not being an apples to apples replacement, got listed as number one. I found the site to be rather beautiful but if you were to ask me to put my pedantic hat on I could list some points of concern I would have regards the UX for an average Joe. I’m typing this on Nostur, from macOS, I love the fact that it’s not some electron slop, but to be fair I haven’t tried other clients seriously yet.

I just arrived here and so far am shocked at the lack of spam, and seeing real people interact for once… wow, this is refreshing.

hello world, I just made this account on https://nostr.com! #introductions
