Exactly. You can't self-host Signal, also it requires a (proprietary) phone number, which you don't own.
The article fails to mention the multitude of platform providers that make self-hosting easy - such as Start 9, Casa OS, Umbrel, or Cloudron.
With these you can deploy your own simplex server, matrix instance, or nostr relay.
The UX of Simplex has improved significantly in the last 12 months, and they are now working on solving the "large group" issue.
Two more ways to hide your IP over nostr:
-
Onion-routed messages (wrap your message in ANOTHER message and pay someone ecash to forward it on): https://github.com/hzrd149/nostr-onion-farm
-
HTTP-over-Nostr (wrap request/response into events / blossom blobs and execute on a remote server): https://git.nostrdev.com/stuff/1120-messages
This is actually pretty common around the EU - we're personally aware of dozens of people who are doing the same (zero-fiat). One guy in our team hasn't used a bank since 2023.
There are a few things you need to focus on:
- Orange Pill your local merchants (eg the island of Alderney, they added 6 merchants in the last few weeks)
- Move! To a Bitcoin friendly place (eg Madeira). Check https://btcmap.org
- Join local meetups for p2p trades. You pay KYC-free bitcoin, they pay your rent / bills / give you cash / whatever.
- Use https://shopinbit.com for general "stuff"
- Use the shopinbit concierge for other stuff
- Get paid in Bitcoin (we're hiring - https://bitcoinerjobs.com/job/1640030-full-stack-developer-nostr-dev-team )
- Robosats as a lifeline
Try and get out of the habit of "whipping out" your bank card or mobile pay / whatever. If you really can't use Bitcoin, always pay with cash. And never purchase anything without first asking "can I pay with Bitcoin?"

You just need to prefix the npub with
nostr: -> see: https://github.com/spacecowboy/Feeder/pull/483/commits/95340d4b5ad7cf13cb740305c3ad1fb6b929a2c9You might be able to use this RSS reader, which recently added Nostr support: https://github.com/spacecowboy/Feeder
Yes, you should send to a new wallet, maybe even several (different passphrases?)
This way if you are ever obligated to provide an xpub, you don't lose privacy
Aah sorry yeah I misunderstood
No, they haven't built anything like that, not sure they'd bother tbh
However much you send them, that's the amount of internet you get. No change.

you mean, from a tollgate operator?
It would be possible, because you'd be online by that point and could verify (claim) any change
you can generate an offline token, offline, for any amount using most cashu wallets (eg minibits)
an early version of tollgate did require old style tokens (amount is a factor of 2), pretty sure that's resolved now
operator sets the price. amount you pay is the amount you get
Both starlink and subscription cellular require that you reveal your legal identity and meatspace location, as well as to purchase fiat to pay their monthly bills
Tollgate is a promise of free (as in freedom) internet, without fiat subscription shackles
Would you be prepared to earn some precious sats for sharing your connection?
