in case you didn't realise, if the value of your coin does not stay at long term parity with bitcoin, but instead with the greatest shitcoin USD, this means that every monero cent is a hot potato that nobody wants to keep and nobody will hold it and the price will continue to scrape along as a proxy for physical cash on the internet, at best it's never going to be accepted in general, because its design makes too many assumptions and can't effectively be used with any kind of state channel ... and idgaf what you gonna say "oh there is a monero lightning" *cough* build the NWC integration or GTFO

also, say what you want, and i say go fuck your monero, useless shitcoin with weird cult of public anonymity and trolling bitcoiners for "doxxing themselves" the use cases get smaller and smaller with every improvement in the bitcoin infrastructure, and every relay delisting and every time there is another less way to trade monero for anything... and every time the price continues to merely manage to be a literal stablecoin because the only users are on the darkweb and prices are set in fiat

yet another #bitcoin #ATH this morning i see
#GM this morning i did my sit ups routine for the first time... 3, 5, 5, 3, 3 and then 16 as i went to bed last night after standing at my desk for about an hour i had quite a nasty pain that was stopping me from bending or walking normally, and i know it's because my abs are not pulling their weight... so it made me commit myself to actually doing the exercise finally right calf wanted to spasm a little, i probably need to focus more on drinking enough water but i'm cutting the carb intake right back now, it is consistently the precursor to me having serious episodes of peripheral neuropathy, and it's not just the cramps but also pain and tingles in the extremities and muscle weakness that makes walking around difficult LFG!
this is the new cult of monero narrative now "but we need to be able to pay of the value of an average car like maybe once a year, but muh monero" lol payments that size are usually for stuff like a whole car or a small piece of land everything else can be moved around in small amounts and you can use tor and only ever make spends or give addresses to send to via tor you have to do that anyway even with monero, even if there is obfuscation about the payment when it appears on chain the use case just doesn't exist for monero, and you'll eventually figure that out when it goes to zero

#asknostr has anyone written an NWC SDK for #golang clients? i looked up what alby talks about and there is a rust and javascript version and at a pinch i will wade into the rust and port it but if someone already has written a thing that lets me make queries to a wallet tx history to grab things like memos and amount of sats, or even better, if i can open a connection and just have those events streamed to the other side, i would be very glad to hear about it

i think i can do it with NWC? https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/47.md is there docs for connecting an alby hub or alby account to an app that can do NWC? i'm going to be digging into this anyway, being able to monitor a LN payment as a means to add credit to a relay balance just seems like a logical thing, literally just have to have the npub in the memo
also, money comes in, money goes out, when and where and from who, only you and the sender knows, the intermediaries know as much as middle hops in a tor circuit i don't sneer at monaros for nothing, you guys literally don't understand how lightning works or how actually most people use money
lol, yeah, i'm sure literally dozens of people need to send half a bitcoin on a yearly basis at all lol
ah, probably i can do it with alby hub too
if i was in charge anyone trying to extort people of money would be locked up
nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm is there a way to connect a web client to receive payment amounts and memos for this kind of purpose? i'm already running a Hub so if it can be done easily with an alby account this would be very nice for my relay as a feature to have integration like this
#asknostr is there LNURL wallet services that allow you to push the payment details to a server? like, if i have a relay generate an automatic identity, and it publishes (broadcasts) its kind 0 and if you pay to the LNURL of the relay with your npub it can then add you to its allow list, no extra bullshit interface bullshit required i was rather glad to figure out that i can eliminate the need of an interface to add and remove allowed users from an auth enabled relay, but being able to add and remove users based on lightning payments with npub in the memo seems like a really nice thing, just, the interface, any clues most appreciated
that at least is left justified but i think it should be a grid with equal horizontal vertical, like think icons, but maybe not with icons... and of course sort them alphabetically so they are easy to scan
i've finally reached a point with my relay dev where i'm like, well, shit, i can't think of anything off the top of my head that i need to do here, it's already pretty much 100% done - has an access control system based on configuring owners whose follows and mutes determine who can access the relay and which npubs cannot have their events written to the relay - has a configurable admin port that can be used to provide download of all events, all events of users on the relay, or some specific set of users on the relay - has an upload feature on said admin port - admin port can also shut down the relay all i can really think of to add to this is a thing that creates a relay nsec that is advertised in a static interface page at the same https address as the wss of the relay, specifying the current access fee rate (sats/month) and automatically adds users to its follow list and thus grants them read/write access, when zapped whatever amount of sats probably could just use the admin back end port and do like admin:3337/setprice/<sats/month> just need a toggle to enable this feature also maybe some helper tool that sets up a wireguard endpoint for the admin so all they have to do is deploy it and then it makes a wireguard and prints out teh wg config/qr code they need to access the admin back end automatically need to think some more, i like this little set of ideas... much the same as this but for a person's personal relay, this just needs a relay service that is automatically configured somehow... maybe i need to go back to working on the chatbot feature for this... really it's a business model i have been thinking about for ages, which is a web service that basically dishes out wireguard configurations in exchange for fees, and tooling to install a relay on a pc as a background service that listens on the wireguard address that is provided then people can use subdomains to have their own inbox relays that their friends are allowed to publish events and messages to, could even be done on a mobile relay hm well, ok i thought of some ideas i need to learn about how to connect the relay to a custodial lightning wallet so it can catch payments with some specific message string to request to be added to a relay identity owner gonna look into it, so, anyway, the happy thing is now i'm finally done with this horrid beast that has plagued me for the last 11 months, at last i has done it woot!

only people who don't understand that lightning uses onion layered encryption like Tor does think that bitcoin doesn't already have an answer to monaro
if you can make it into a grid it's not as bad, to be clear... just make it regular in both horizontal and vertical no matter what, otherwise you are hurting people's brains
why? because i have to switch from horizontal to vertical scanning to read that... if it overflows the width of the display you can't use horizontal. pls do not do this

the logic of that is like expecting a bully to start his tirade with listing the ways in which he is going to manipulate his victims tho
