       Americans, now that lnurl is getting some adoption, if you host your own lnurl server make sure you're blocking Iranian, Cuban, North Korean, Russian, and Syrian IP addresses so that you don't wittingly accept a payment from users in those countries! Not worth jail time or fines.Just got around to setting it up on mine, luckily nginx makes it easy.

       if ($geoip_country_code = "CU") { return 451; }if ($geoip_country_code = "IR") { return 451; }if ($geoip_country_code = "KP") { return 451; }if ($geoip_country_code = "RU") { return 451; }if ($geoip_country_code = "SY") { return 451; }Okay, I know, not perfect, but making a best effort goes a long way.

       It’s the “custodial” requirement here that gets you no answer. Ignore that and there’s a few Breez SDK wallets, some LDK-node ones coming soon, plus Mutiny, Phoenix, etc. custodial wallets aren’t legal without KYC most places in the world…

       I don’t really understand this kind of criticism (and not to pick on Will here, it seems to be from ~everyone).Bluesky took a different approach - first build a product people want whose technology supports decentralization, and add the features the geeks want later. It’s easy to shit on their lack of decentralization, but Bluesky has made clear and consistent progress on that front since day one, and I assume they will continue to do so.The result has been a product that’s growing (those user stats are pretty realistic, doubly so when you look at the number of accounts actually posting real content) way more than nostr with tons of anti-centralization features that nostr is missing (anyone can create a feed algorithm, and there are many, decentralized content tagging is a really cool innovation - different “adult content” tagging services, opt-in different moderation services, etc).The federated model of Mastodon led to a trainwreck of fiefdoms run by weirdly obsessive and controlling mods, but Bluesky took that and addressed the issues by splitting moderation from hosting.Sure, Bluesky’s hosting model means you don’t get the relay-redundancy that sets nostr’s censorship resistance apart, but that’s not all that hard to add in the future (with the sync assumption they make making it easier to make efficient, too).Building the kinds of stuff Bluesky has on nostr is gonna take a huge investment, we can’t leave folks like Will stuck building critical nostr apps by himself.

       See that’s not true. They have actually made material progress towards their decentralization goals and suggesting “it’s just Web 2.0 centralized crap” is just being intellectually lazy.

       Yep, basically that. They can choose to push it in the future (eg if they run out of money), or might not. Given they’ve gone a lot of work towards it I assume they’ll at least try, subject to potentially limited budget.But in the mean time they added a lot of decentralized features that have lapped nostr in some domains (anyone can create a feed algorithm, even if it’s run centrally, is huge! Same for ban decisions being shared lists).

       Do any of them have any kind of moderation tools (to prevent the inevitable flood of spam and illegal content)? At least gitworkshop.dev doesn’t appear to actually use decentralized storage for everything, still requires a git host.radicle seems like a much better concept for how to do this type of thing (just use git for everything!) vs bothering with nostr, but if someone managed to build a product that met the requirements on nostr that would also be fine enough.

       Worth pointing out that radicle’s approach is substantially more censorship-resistant and decentralized than nostr.

       Well, I suppose not strictly more censorship resistant on the ability to post, depends on the config, but certainly around takedowns.

       Right but then it’s not really a complete GitHub replacement? If we still have to host gitea or whatever why shouldn’t we just use it.

       This. Build the best Bitcoin to get more normal sane people to use Bitcoin and drown out the crazies.That and don’t bother engaging on social media. Sorry to the crazies you’re just never gonna get to interact with any Bitcoin dev at this point - people gotta protect their time.

       Man it’s disappointing to, yet again, watch bitcoiners eat each other alive and drive great people away. Bitcoin is so much worse off for it, we could have so much more…
