102 sats \ 0 replies \ @runningbitcoin 6 Nov \ parent \ on: Let's rename the app to Boris - Gigi nostr
Adding Web Bookmarks is working now. 👀 But still no import option afaik.
As mentioned, I think you're right that the simple approach is totally fine for occasional use. The electrs setup would mainly be for those who want to increase their security, as it hides their balance from a potentially hacked main computer. It addresses a specific risk and is not something that everyone or even most people require.
Thank you for your comment, and I think it's a valid one. The setup addresses an issue described in the Sparrow Best Practices, where different considerations come into play depending on the size of stash. For beginners like you described, it's perfectly fine to run solely a Bitcoin node. To improve this setup, especially if you are storing larger amounts, it is recommended to set up electrs to address the following:
Unfortunately, Bitcoin Core stores your public keys and balance unencrypted on the computer it is running on. If this computer is regularly connected to the internet, it is at risk to hackers...If this is a concern to you, consider running an Electrum server, which does not keep any record of your balance, but indexes all Bitcoin transactions equally
So you're right, this setup with electrs is probably not required for beginners. However, if you are storing a significant amount of wealth, it is perhaps worth considering.

Same here. I'm curious to see how this project evolves. Looking at the different icons, I would assume that more formats will be supported. Let's see!
I tried Boris today. Unfortunately, it seems that just nostr content is supported yet, or I just haven't figured out how to import other writings, such as links from Stacker News. Have you tried using it yet?
I have written a guide that might be helpful #834397.
Hi, thank you! Unfortunately, I couldn't replicate the setup from the book as it's more US-specific. The book actually recommends VoIP.ms, which they configure for GrapheneOS, but I don't have firsthand experience with them, but they might be worth looking into.
Maybe @TempleOfSats or @P2P_bitcoin are able to share some insights?
Thank you for sharing this. I haven't been in an dispute, so glad you're sharing your experience. I think that emphasizes the importance of rating the coordinator who is facilitating the trade. Also reading through your guide, great job putting it together!
Yes you're right. If your a complete beginner you can try
Bisq Easy where you can buy P2P, but don't need to post a bond to get started. I have also made a guide hereThank you!
No Robosats has no reputation model - it's one identity per trade, with no reuse. I think this is an advantage over reputation systems where you create an account and build up a reputation. In RoboSats, there's no way to know if a user has made multiple trades using different avatars. At the end you're rating the coordinator of the trade, not the trade partner themselves.
