Even though many of these use "Android", it's their own highly customized version of the OS, because open source rocks.… Vitor Pamplona Sep 14, 2024, 11:39 AM
Just loaded up an app codebase from 3 years ago. Nothing works and it barely compiles. 😅 Code is perishable.… Vitor Pamplona Sep 13, 2024, 9:11 PM
It's great to see OpenSats going outside of Bitcoin and Nostr with Tor and now WireGuard… Vitor Pamplona Sep 12, 2024, 6:56 PM
Has anybody onboarded friends/colleagues to your Alby Hub's via the friends and family app? Would you add a friend to your hub/node if you are onboarding them to Nostr?… Vitor Pamplona Sep 12, 2024, 2:06 PM
I openened several channels when starting my Alby Hub to test out multiple LSP providers. 95% of your zaps came through Olympus by Zeus. All the others are rarely used. Why is that? Are their fees that much lower?… Vitor Pamplona Sep 12, 2024, 12:23 PM
Testing an old idea: NFC-based transient accounts: accounts that log off as soon as the app goes to the background, deleting all traces of the account from the phone. It looks like this in debugging speeds: If you are an activist and if your phone is confiscated, they will… Vitor Pamplona Sep 11, 2024, 8:46 PM

Nostr smart contracts are coming. Then we add verifiable computations. And boom. Trustless machines for everyone.… Vitor Pamplona Sep 10, 2024, 8:13 PM
Ok, it seems that the option of activating Tor for .onion relays is the bare minimum we should do. The question is now, as a project, do we want to offer more privacy straight out of the box or not. I am leaning towards also using Tor for: Relays gathered… Vitor Pamplona Sep 10, 2024, 12:06 AM
We can also scramble some relay connections and randomize them: some via tor, others clearnet. Or maybe only Auth via Tor. Or maybe only Auth and send events via Tor. So many options... 🤔… Vitor Pamplona Sep 9, 2024, 11:53 PM
What should be the default of a fresh Amethyst install? Tor enabled for relays, but clearnet for all videos, images etc (since they are slow) Tor enabled for everything, user can disable Tor disabled for everything, user can enable… Vitor Pamplona Sep 9, 2024, 11:45 PM
