The XMRmada Concord group now uses my own relay to pass around the encrypted blobs (messages!)
Dittos and Vectors defaults are still there too for redundancy.
Come check out our group chat if your into that kinda thing.

We should just enforce total surveillance on everyone in every facet of their life and there would be no crime.
we're not blood relatives, just old friends.
but his wife and kids you know?
shitfuck
bro has the pancreatic cancer.
they're dropping like flies recently.
hold your loved ones, don't take it for granted.
@npub1yxp…399s is really worried you don't understand how the transaction fee you pay on a L1 affects the fungibility of your transaction.
so i wrote some stuff.

Lol
Somebody is FINALLY trying to use LN to obfuscate the trail of funds (fucking 8 years later 🙄) and now this asshole has to publicly masturbate about it.
#nevent1q…srp2
For the record, I think people should not genocide each other.
So theres no #monero bros on nostr running the FCMP stressnet?? Lets send some testnet Monero around!
I thought I was late to the party?

Monero: v0.18.5.3 'Fluorine Fermi' has been released!

Sorry. I don’t support proprietary software like iOS
Fair point and that's what 0.17 changed: a personal watcher runs on your own machine, so the view key never leaves you and since 0.18 amounts stay private too. The tx-proof route is interesting: no view key at all. The blocker is wallets: none hands txid + tx key back to the app yet, so senders would copy them by hand. If wallets add a callback URI, I'd gladly support it.
Tails 7.15 is out:

tip people on Nostr with Monero
no Lightning
no custodian
amounts stay private

Do you know by chance if this will work on Linux mobile such as #NuraEco? They are making their system immutable and so things like flatpak and app image would be necessary. I want to say they already use flatpaks, but I'm not absolutely sure on that.

Recent Ledger-related theft (~$100M from user wallets tied to a reseller) saw the attacker route millions through Tornado Cash into Ztrash’s shielded pool. On-chain analysts still followed the full path via withdrawal transaction patterns, precise timing and value matching on exits. Hacker should have had a better opsec.

I think I've come to a tentative conclusion about what's causing the problem, and I think that it might be TorVPN. To test that, I am trying out invizible in VPN mode to see if it stops happening. I was also having web browsing issues where sometimes I would get unable to connect messages like the website wasn't reachable, and I thought that it was because they saw that I was coming from a Tor exit node and refused to respond or something like that, but perhaps it was actually telling the truth, and something with TorVPN may have actually been the problem.
I had never used invizible as a whole device VPN before, so I thought it was normal and it turns out it may not be.

Only if your adversary is somebody like the United States. Otherwise, it's perfectly acceptable to use.
I2P is way too low in the bandwidth department.
I wouldn't hold your breath, that's for sure.
What the actual fuck?
Syncing #Monfluo to #tor nodes did a partial sync, then totally stopped pulling data before the sync was done. Changing to a different tor node did not restart the sync. However, changing to a clearnet node did.

On-chain yes, and receipts carry no txid. On Nostr the tip is public (recipient, amount, note) but the sender is anonymous by default. The watcher sees your incoming payments via the view key; we plan to make running your own watcher easy.
Another weekend, another experiment. Or weekend project? I'm not even sure how to call these things anymore, since all I do is think a little bit and talk a little bit, and out pops an app.
I didn't even want to do this. But after one too many slight annoyance of my favorite nostr clients I was like: "fuck it, I'll build one myself"
Less than 48h later, and I have something that covers my feature set reasonably well. And I didn't even have to sit down at the computer to build it. I just spoke into my phone, installed from Zapstore, used it a bit, spoke into my phone some more to mention all the issues I just noticed and the features I'd like to see, and so on, on repeat.
It was a normal weekend, which means time away from the computer, spending time with the kids, being outside, and so on. I truly built all of this on the side. (Yes, sneaking away for a quick 30-second "phone call" from time to time, but you get what I'm trying to say: I didn't have to sit in front of the computer, grunting away, staring into an IDE, borderline losing my mind.)
That's the best part about all this: development feels *effortless* now. Effortless development. Who would've thought?
At least it's for me, in comparison to all the development I did before. Before, it was actually hard work. A craft. Now, all you need to do is to talk (or type).
The limiting factor isn't software development anymore. It's taste. Taste, and maybe some imagination, and maybe drive on top of that. If you want to build the thing, you absolutely *can* build that thing now. One hundred percent. You just have to be stubborn enough.
It was clear to me that we'd arrive at this point at some point in time, which is why I posted "taste and values" over and over and over again in the last 18 months or so, ever since I entered into some state of AI psychosis.
But it's wonderful. Wonderful, I tell you. We can build anything now. *You* can build anything now.
Unhappy with something? Tell your clanker to fix it. Want to build an app? Tell your clanker to build it. You don't even need to sign up to anything, or join a walled garden, or anything of that sort. Look at @npub1fet…jzfa for some inspiration, to get an idea of what's possible right now. The permissionless future is bright indeed.
I'm typing all this in the compose view of Feather, while sipping my morning coffee. An app that didn't exist 48 hours ago. A view that didn't exist 9 hours ago. Is everything fixed and perfect already? Of course not. But there's no excuses anymore. If you *care* you can fix it. If you truly want it you can build it. No more "I don't know how to do this." Just say what you want and your clanker swarm will figure it out. Ask and you shall receive, and all that. What an incredible time to be alive.
Where to go from here? I have no idea. Apps will be superabundant, that much is clear to me. The cost of software is going to zero. There will be very little secret sauce left, if any. You can reverse engineer anything now, whether it's open-source or not.
Software development has forever changed. We used to stand on the fields with picks and shovels; now we have internal combustion engines, hydraulics, excavators, and Bagger 288.
We still need human ingenuity, that's for sure. Human spirit. (If you don't believe me, listen to every lecture John Vervaeke ever gave. I'm serious. You should.) But above all, we need taste. Taste and values.
Without the right value framework in place anything we build will be meaningless.
So here I am, 18 months later, still posting about taste and values. But it's not as vague anymore, and my hope is that it will be even more clear 18 months from now.
It seems to me like you have to make a distinguishment between AI slop, where somebody just creates something and puts it out there and is never going to maintain it, versus somebody creating something and putting it out there, and then taking feedback for what needs fixing, and what could be better done this other way, and etc. etc., and maintaining it over long periods of time to mold it into a good shape.
Lol

if it's fips over USB then @npub1hw6…65gr beat you to it lol
not bad at all. now the monostr relay can be set to require 8 bit pow to relay

For the record, I think people should not genocide each other.
#Monostr is the first #Nostr client I have used that has NIP-13 PoW. Pretty cool except for the fact you can turn it off.
My thought process was make it mandatory and then in the future clients would be able to turn on a minimum proof of work required to show the note at all.
Nice to see we think alike!
But if I'm going to synchronize through Tor, why not just continue using Tor to make the transactions as well?
looks like @npub1p47…2qfl and I had the same idea of adding PoW to #Monostr. The difference between the way they did it and the way I was going to do it was I was going to make 8-bit an absolute mandatory floor and not allow it to be turned off.
monostr: a Nostr client with Monero tips instead of zaps (public beta, Android)
https://stasher.news/items/340638
Love seeing this pop up!

Should be available to all monostr users, not for paid relays only.
Don't make me love you even more @nprofile…9kky 😭😭😭 https://github.com/derekross/llama
You really are running a challenge to make people not accept Monero as a payment method, don't you? 😂
But the QR isn't static either, as each time you can generate a new one-time QR.
