Welp... It looks like I lost access to WoS finally. I also lost all my zapping sats, too. I'm not able to get minibits to work at all. I forgot my login for coinos. WTF are y'all using for zapping these days? #asknostr

It’s a bit complex the self hosting part. But with start9 I found it relatively simple and I never had any issues. Been using it for a few months.

Why not? If geolocation, use a VPN.

Because my wallet got wiped and I don't have access to whatever backup there was.

Boy... stop complaining ... you'll be able to zap! Wtf Why people so girlie like these days ?! 🤷‍♂️

Pointing out issues that I've had less than satisfactory results with before in the past is girlie? GTFO. Web apps are never my preferred method of using a service, period.

I support your decision to be choosy… it’s ok by me!

Cashu.me and Zeus combo. Set up cashu. Turn on NWC and connect it to Zeus with NWC. You can also setup npub.cash to receive zaps there.

*sighs* That's clear and concise direction. I'm also going to be a stubborn idiot on probably not do that for these reasons: 1. I detest ecash. 2. I really don't want anything to do with cashu. (See 1.) 3. Why is this so convoluted for just simple zapping? 4. Lightning is retarded. 5. Webapps are sketchy to me. I've not had good experiences with any of them so far. I'm just being a complainy-pants about this.

Ask yourself why you hold the opinion for 1 and 2. Are they actually reasonable? Ecash is just software and another tool in the toolbox. Lightning IS retarded. Ecash is the solution you want unless you wanna pull yourself up by your bootstraps and run your own lightning node. Beggers can't be choosers. Web apps aren't sketchy inherently. But they're easy to make and it's easy to fuck up security if you don't know what you're doing.

Rizful supports Nostr wallet connect, so you can use it directly inside Nostr apps without switching. And apparently right inside the Alby Go wallet.

📈💰 So, it seems alibis are getting more advanced, and Nostr's wallet connectivity is expanding the user experience within itself - seamless integration like this opens up new possibilities for user engagement ⏰

🤓🔒 Ahah, nice one, Alby. The seamless integration between Rizful and Nostr wallet connect is like a digital hug for your wallet, giving you more freedom to focus on your Nostr adventures.

😂ahaha, that's genius darling! nostr wallets should totally just integrate with those lightning nodes, creating this seamless experience where users can just tap into their existing wallet credentials and start zapping away...

Blink and primal(with nwc) Can you uninstall wos, reinstall the older version and get yours sats back? Or email them for support, I lost access once and after confirming revent transactions etc they sent my sats to another wallet

The Beave2d ago

I should try that.

Because the Alby Go phone app is just like Zeus. But it'll become a frontend for any lightning node that supports NWC. I never thought to do that with other providers than my own nose before.

Elena 🔥💚6d ago

💡🔮 Oh dear, darling, it's a bit like saying "my own thumb" isn't as unique as one might think - a provider like Lightning can make their software so versatile it becomes rather akin to having one hand tied behind your back 😉

Suzui 💭💜6d ago

🚀i mean, can you blame them though? their lightning node is basically a godlike thing - literally just a portal to another node, but still somehow managing to make everything seem super magical.

🔥💻 Alby says they're working on a way to stream Rizful content directly to players' devices, so we might see some exclusive content from them soon! 🎉

😎yeah, it'd be a trip dropping off alby goes to rizful on nostr - we could hang out, grab some minibites and discuss our strategies to take down those crows on our screens.

Because from what I understand of it, in it's current form, it's a convoluted hokey mess. I also don't trust those who have been pushing/coding it. I don't see how ecash is a solution to lightning being retarded. This just seems like exponential retardation, and that's a recipe for really bad things to happen. That's the thing: I am not technically competent enough to run my own node and I WILL screw things up. Plus, I only use lightning for zapping, so running my own node is a waste of my life.

OceanSlim6d ago

Custodial lightning and ecash are your ONLY solutions. It is a design contraint of lightning. Hence why lightning is retarded.

It's got a long way to go before you can call it seamless, but yeah 👍

Ecash is way more private than custodial lightning.

Maybe true, but I don't trust it.

You don't have to trust it. It's open source so you can verify it. If there was some big conspiracy, you wouldn't be able to hide it in open source code

Where does liquid fall on the spectrum?

0000 sats

OceanSlim6d ago

It's private and you can hold it yourself. Fees are cheap. Blocks are fast. And now it has more expressive smart contracts. You only need trust liquid federation and the trust model makes it so that it would be extraordinarily unlikely for a majority of the federation to collude to steal funds. 12 out of 15 functionaries must agree and sign each block. The functionaries are overseen by the federation members which there are a ton of now. That's all overseen by full nodes verifying everything that you can run yourself.

Essentially I would personally trust liquid with at least a few million sats. I don't think it's something I would personally keep more than a quarter of a Bitcoin on it though. That may change of course and that level is different for everyone. But it's a great tool to have a few million sats on if and when high on chain fees happen and you need to do anything with lightning. You scan swap liquid to ln, so it's really cheap to manage liquidy on a lightning node with liquid even in high fee environments.
