SN release: gun and horse changes, small stuff

gun and horse changesgun and horse changes

We're changing the gun and horse badges to indicate if you have wallets attached. They are no longer really easter eggs:

when you have send wallet + device sync enabled, you get a gun
when you have a receive wallet, you get a horse

Eventually these will be used as a way to communicate the status of your wallet, and other stacker's wallets. e.g. your horse gets sick when it's having trouble receiving and your gun jams when it's having trouble sending. They don't do that yet but that's the eventual plan.

You may have lost your gun and horse on deployment. I was able to add mine back by re-enabling my wallets. @ek might know why that's required to get the badges back.

@south_korea_ln made it so custom tips have more slots and fixed an issue in subdomain dupe detection
@SimpleStacker made it much easier for us to test neural search in development

what we're working onwhat we're working on

@ek is working on wallet UX and wallet attachment UX specifically
I'm working on improving the wallet core logic to support a variety of things stackers have asked for since we've added wallets (paying with CCs and sats simultaneously, better satistics about CCs vs sats, more ways for CCs to decay, etc)
@sox is working on custom domains for territories (currently in QA/review!)

What are you looking forward to working on?

Beyond what I'm working on now, removing things and improving aesthetics internally and externally. We have more product surface area than I'd like.

Otherwise, territory stuff. Our backlog there is the most exciting. We just have to reign in the product a bit first.

It didn’t seem like too much as it was being rolled out. I think we had plenty of time to adapt.

However, I did realize how much more complex SN has become when I was trying to bring a couple of people over from nostr.

Yeah I think on boarding is still clunky

@sox is working on custom domains for territories (currently in QA/review!)

Is this sub-territories?

21 sats \ 1 reply \ @k00b OP 15 Apr

No, it's hosting territories at custom domains.

e.g. you'll be able to host ~movies at jonsmovies.com with a custom logo and stuff (if you want)

Nice.

It's nice to be able to see who has a wallet enabled

I didn't have the gun and horse. What I did was to go to wallets, go to lightning address one, and uncheck enabled, and save. then go to it again and enable it again. and found a gun and a horse. I didn't need to refresh the NWC one. I didn't know what the horse and gun were. Now I know. Should be added to the FAQ page.

Should be added to the FAQ page.

Nice

when you have send wallet + device sync enabled, you get a gun

What is device sync?

42 sats \ 10 replies \ @k00b OP 14 Apr

Device sync: https://stacker.news/settings/passphrase

It allows us to sync your sending wallets across devices.

Thanks much!

Thanks, device sync enabled and I'm almost a full-fledged cowboy now, just need to find a hat.

Why device sync for a piece?

21 sats \ 6 replies \ @k00b OP 14 Apr

Cause we can't easily determine if you have a sending wallet otherwise.

0 sats \ 5 replies \ @0xbitcoiner 14 Apr

Right, I see what you mean! So, if an invoice goes through, that means there's a attached sending wallet. If it doesn't go through, then there's no wallet attached. Or even better, maybe there is, but it's just not working properly!

31 sats \ 4 replies \ @k00b OP 14 Apr

hmmm it's more like: when you turn on device sync, there's an encrypted blob on the server representing your sending creds. If that blob is there, we know you have a sending wallet attached.
