No one grants me freedom, for I am a free man. Intrinsic value doesn't exist. #Bitcoin Remnant

NDK? He doesn't even have a changelog, so he releases a new version and you don't even know what the changes are unless you want to review each commit... Documentation unmaintained, issues unmaintained...

I didn't know applesauce, so I'll give it a look, but I've been giving a look to SNSTR, and I cannot wait to migrate to it, as it seems like it's a 1000x improvement over ndk/nostr-tools...

And what about libraries used to build nostr apps? They change function interfaces every other day in minor version increments... It's like an eternal v0.0.0.1...

"US BTC Reserve" didn't happen, so I wouldn't say it's happening faster...

Anyways, we shouldn't want a government "reserve", so everything's fine.

Hey @nprofile1q...

Is there any way to know what are the latest changes in NDK? It feels dangerous to update to use new versions of libraries whose source code has not been published...

> to them it seems that Bitcoin is a right wing project

The problem is much broader than that. I've been trying to explain Bitcoin to adults and children for some years already, and I've noticed that for people to understand Bitcoin, they must first have to understand the problems Bitcoin solves.

Because of the indoctrination people have been subjected for all their lives, undestanding that somebody taking 60%+ of what you earn is a bad thing may sound like a "right wing", but it's not. Your government taking 60%+ of what you earn is plain slavery, and you have to understand that prior to understanding Bitcoin, or you'll get the usual "yeah, but with Bitcoin you can avoid paying taxes, and that's wrong".

So yeah, it's very difficult to explain or understand.

Remember that now in @nprofile1q... you can Zap the verifiers of your favourite Bitcoin wallet.

For example, let's say you use @nprofile1q... wallet. So you see in X or Nostr that v0.11.4 has been released. You ideally do this:

1- Go to WalletScrutiny.com
2- Search for Zeus. Then choose Android (because you shouldn't be using iOS...)
3- You see that v0.11.4 has been verified to be reproducible from sources by @nprofile1q... , so you click the verification for that version
4- You check if the verification has the quality you would expect
5- You Zap Danny some sats to thank him for the time spent verifying
6- Optionally you can follow his steps to reproduce the wallet yourself and create a new verification.

If you find that your preferred wallet doesn't have a verification yet, you can push the maintainers to do the verification, or do it yourself if you have the skills. Maybe you can earn some sats when other users Zap your verifications!

This is a reminder to use @nprofile1q... before downloading a wallet to your phone or desktop computer. You'll learn if it has any red flag, check if users have found the binaries to be reproducible, or if it's fully fake, like in the iOS Sparrow case from a few months ago.
