What do you think about Signal? Any know issues/risks? (That’s what I recommend people)

Amazing song. Thanks for the reminder!!!

A follow up question since most people are calling out the advantages of ecash. Are there any advantages of custodial Lightning over Cashu/ecash?

I believe with Lightning the biggest advantage is that nobody can rug pull you, you can always force close the channel and keep your funds. But that's not the case with custodial Lightning.

Maybe there are none?

From my friend Damian:

With Cashu you can select which mint you use/trust. As @SwapMarket pointed out, you can't pick mint when you receiving ecash token but you can move it to another mint. Single Cashu wallet can use many mints. Lightning wallets are typically limited to single server provider.

Also, ecash can have spending conditions.

Valuable answer - haven't heard this one before. Thank you!

And yes, I will refresh myself on the PGP and WoT -- those are good pointers.

Yes, a senator doing cocaine won't post on NOSTR with their signature. In this case, there might be another observer (maybe a journalist) who will record it and post and you need to trust that journalist.

Great effort!!!

Many older men friends told me I should do that but I fell like it was weird so I went against their advice. So far 11 years (and four kids) in and I don’t regret this at all. And my wife and I fight a lot. We are from very different cultures and different personalities.

I’m convinced that once you have kids, there is no way back.

I’m sure there are some crazy exception cases when divorce is the only way out but I like to keep that option terrible, expensive and unknown. Burn the ships!

This is brutal

Haha

Amazing! Thanks for posting the progress.

The zap amount is all-time (ie since the beginning of nostr)?

How are the nostr users counted?

Awesome!

Great response! I think this is why its so important for all of us who are technically able to understand and help to really talk to people who trust us, and help them self-custody.

When “everyone else” does it, you also wont look as stupid if anything goes wrong. That’s my observation how people work.

Yep, I think its legit concern. In today’s fiat system in the US, any significant income to your bank account, ie if you wanna buy a house, is scrutinized (ie where did you get this from?) and its reasonable to assume that centralized exchange will be forced to do the same. So if you need to sell it on an exchange (finding someone peer-to-peer requires a lot more work and danger to get screwed, especially to normal people who trust the institutions), you will need to prove where you got it from and it will be easier when the institution can prove when you bought it.

Not saying I endorse this, just my attempt to explain.

Love Kevin Kelly. Thanks for bringing this interview to my attention!

Very impressive that he adapted to you being different and embraced that. So wonderful and inspiring!
