Agree, specially with the "mass adoption test", good insight, will try that myself.

Phoenix is hands down the best in class for self custodial LN wallets, its simplicity is what is needed for mass adoption, geeks wallets are good for testing, nothing more, non technical people will just scare away

Zeus, which in its web site defines itself as "an open-source, self-custodial Bitcoin wallet that gives you full control over how you make payments." is for geeks, I played extensively with it, but will never recommend it to anyone that is not technical.

BOLT12 is definitely a step in the right direction, no web server and onion messages for end-to-end-encrypted connections between nodes, hopefully the adoption will speed up.

Well, if you have to ask it means you have a lot of research to do, I give you a few pointers:

Here a study published by Larry Sanger, co-founder of Wikipedia:

Last bug not least, Wikipedia have been infiltrated at all levels , not only at ideological level but at corporate level with a massive bias to push for their donors commercial interest, I personally had to deal with that years ago, it was amusing to corroborate personally what many where already exposing.

Yet, a large amount of the population keep looking at Wikipedia as a good source of information...

It is so bad, that when I use AI language models I explicitly request the model to remove Wikipedia as a source of information...

Wikipedia neutral? LOL!

I do not see Wikipedia as a serious source for anything.

Check SimpleX web site and decide by yourself, I will check TOX for sure, thanks for sharing either way, SimpleX works for me so far, if TOX is better that is a bonus

I use SimpleX and file sharing may not be great but it works fine, the group chats as well are a feature that works fine, basically now you can create not only group chats but Channels as well as we do in Telegram

A quick query using the AI from Brave offers some light on it, not familiar with TOX, but according to this answer there is a good reason why Libertarians and Bitcoiners alike are turning into SimpleX and not TOX. (If accurate...)

Tox and SimpleX Chat are both decentralized, open-source, and end-to-end encrypted messaging platforms. While they share some similarities, they differ in their architecture, features, and design goals. Tox is a peer-to-peer (P2P) network with a focus on file sharing and group chat, whereas SimpleX Chat is a decentralized messaging protocol with a focus on user privacy and metadata protection.

Encryption Features Comparison

Pros and Cons

Tox

Pros:

Supports file sharing and group chat Decentralized network with multiple nodes Open-source and community-driven

Cons:

Central node can be a single point of failure Limited scalability compared to SimpleX Chat User IDs can be used for tracking and profiling

SimpleX Chat

Pros:

Fully decentralized with no central server Ephemeral identifiers prevent user tracking and profiling Scalable architecture with low overhead Open-source and transparent

Cons:

Limited features compared to Tox (no file sharing, no group chat) Steeper learning curve due to its unique architecture

Table

Note: The table uses ✅ to indicate a feature is present and ❌ to indicate it is not.

Thanks, got the answer in NOSTR, on Minibits settings there is Mint information that provides the limits on the wallet itself!

Did not know the mute feature existed, nice! Thanks again, very useful! LOL

Excellent, thanks for sharing, good to have another option in EU for on ramping besides Peach, which is actually quite nice.

For the tech savvy, Robosats and Bisq.

Dude, shut up already, stop embarrassing yourself, either way.

Muted, what an unpleasant person you are.

For the short sellers...

I think you are right, perhaps a quick crash from panic sells followed by moon

I used to think similarly, but the more I study the case the more I concluded that doing that will make it worst medium to long term.

I think that the root of the problem with medicare and medicaid is that the medical attention and the medicines are private, when the health system is private, sickness is a business and therefore the incentive is to treat you and therefore milk you, not to cure you and thus, most protocols are created in that line, is all business, doctors are trained in medicine school that way, thus, they do not know better until they are seniors and understand better how the cookie crumbles...

If all the health system, from the pharmaceutical conglomerate to the last hospital was state owned, the business of the state to reduce cost will be to heal people. Very well spent taxes...

I had that epiphany while working few months in Spain, noticed that most of their health system is public and worked well at that time, doctors were quite different than in USA, they will talk about stress control, diet, exercise, avoid prescribing pills unless strictly necessary... It was refreshing and weird at the same time... Yet, medicines are expensive, not as much as in USA, which are unreal, but neither that cheap.
