We thought we had problems with nostr being too bitcoiny 🙄

It would be just a task and get for most projects.

Yes I get it. Umbrel should make sure setup pages are completed, and disable services after x mins. Not blaming Umbrel or anything. It's just a lesson that can be learned from.

In the umbrel scenario there are a load of projects that would be impacted by autopopulating funding sources. I would say Umbrel is responsible for not creating backdoor. As I said we can also add safeguards fkr that scenario.

Sure, but in Francis instance it was Alby

It didn't happen to lnbits it happened to alby.

Which is what happened to alby in this example?

2026-01-29 16:25:55 UTC

- reply

Reading replies was this umbrel connecting the funding source?
Then if any fixes should be applied thats where it should start. We can also add something.
Bitcoin is built on blood and sacrifice of early adopters, it sucks, and no future users understand the pain and suffering of those who came before them.

As far as I can gather the issue was autopopulating the funding source for lnbits by alby, and Francis enabling lnbits but not setting up from lnbits launch page? We didn't autopopulate the funding source, alby did. We can add an extra safeguard to help albys flow, by disabling the setup page after x mins, but using lnbits this way by a service like alby, is not something we do or account for. I'm not playing the blame game, but its a vulnerability not created by us. We can try safeguarding it, but any service that alby autopopulates should be monitored by alby and disabled if not set up correctly.
As far as I understand the issue.

They probably just hadn't thought of it. Best ideas are hard to see but seem obv in retrospect. Like nostr itself.

Yeah, flip the switch @nprofile…nk6j @nprofile…msvh its minimal resources, great marketing for proton (at)pm nyms everywhere, and trivial to implement.

Annnddd cracking free marketing for them, people having pm nyms on nostr

It would be so trivial for them to implement and would cost barely any resources. I also love proton 🤩

2026-01-28 21:19:54 UTC

Protonmail are bitcoiners and know of nostr, they could switch on nip05 support for email addresses. Easy peasy extra product right there.

Thank youuuu for your contributions sir 🫡

Fucking newbs.
We are lucky coming from bitcoin, and understanding pitfalls of something that seemingly makes sense, such as a "foundation". I don't think there has ever been an open protocol that became hardened against centralising forces more than bitcoin. It's a unique experience that equips us well for building something like nostr.

It kinda comes from this. Having the stripe payments in the pos is useful as you can do things like sell bits to customers. That went through fine, however when someone bought "buy bitcoin" stamps from the webshop, stripe blacklisted us 🤣. Was first time I had to deal with "permissioned" system for a while, and it felt so odd. First time I zoomed out and look at just how backward flatland is for years. Thank God I live in bitcoinland where things make sense.

It’s so odd that for most jobs, you’re required to have a bank account so your employer can pay your hard-earned money into it, and then, by the bank’s good grace, you’re allowed to access the money you actually earned. While the private bank recklessly mismanages your money and surveils your spending. A weird and recent arrangement dressed up as normal and inevitable.
Fuck banks.

I had a flooded soakaway last week, that required days of digging through slimey stinky mud in the rain, but listening to 100s of Empire podcast I had a great old time.

I think we only use /whatever for njump on the site. So we could just pass all those and let njump handle?
We do also have that caching issue again, seems like it slowed.
