Got some nprofile1qqs2xugc5jyguqkj36rk0syv4tmnkjdtmtperttl7x9rqjy3ustdcvcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qg6waehxw309aek2mnyd96zumn0wdnxcctjv5hxxmmd9uxa0uz8 updates to report on since it's been a minute!

Recently, I've primarily been focused on QoL improvements and general code cleanup related to performace and reliability before working on some new stuff. If you haven't noticed, here are a few of the bigger changes:

- As a merchant, you can now set a donation rate on sales that goes back to support the site's development and maintenance

- Merchants can now also set their payment preference to receive a Cashu token via DM (the usual) or directly to the Lightning address set on their Nostr profile, making manual claiming unnecessary

- The built-in NIP-60 wallet got updated to the latest revision of the spec and is generally more reliable than before

- Multi-image uploads are now supported, as well as naddr-based search and page routing (h/t nprofile1qqsf03c2gsmx5ef4c9zmxvlew04gdh7u94afnknp33qvv3c94kvwxgsppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qgewaehxw309a5xyu3wvdhhyctrd3jjuum0vd5kzmp0gankr4 and nprofile1qqs8hhhhhc3dmrje73squpz255ape7t448w86f7ltqemca7m0p99spgpzemhxue69uhkzat5dqhxummnw3erztnrdakj7qgmwaehxw309a3ksun0de5kxmr99ej8gmmwdahzucm0d5hsz8rhwden5te0vdhh2mn5wf5k2uewve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5hsxh4ddm for the suggestions)

- Some extensions (primarily Nostr Connect) don't support NIP-44 encryption yet, so that's now checked before allowing you to use the site while signed-in

Also, don't forgort to update your Umbrel, Start9, and/or Tor instances if you're running one! Simply pulling the latest image source and rebuilding should do the trick.

Back to building. 🫡

"Every individual is continually exerting himself to find out the most advantageous employment for whatever capital he can command. It is his own advantage, indeed, and not that of society, which he has in view. But the study of his own advantage naturally, or rather necessarily, leads him to prefer that employment which is most advantageous to the society."

- Adam Smith

"[...] when we say that a network state has “consensual government limited by a social smart contract”, we mean that it exercises authority over a digital (and, eventually, physical) sphere constituted solely of those people who’ve opted in to its governance by signing a social smart contract with their [Nostr keys], in much the same way they might “opt in” to the governance of a centralized exchange by depositing coins there."

This is awesome to see being thought out!

Overheard at the local coffee shop:

"As soon as the tragedy of the commons or monopolies arise, the government must step in, because if it doesn't, there will no longer be a free market."

🤦‍♂️

Those conditions only arise due to government policies and interventionism; more of that won't solve anything.

"The boundaries between states and nationalities are not natural, like the boundaries between species or the physical distinctions between breeds of animals. Rather, they are artifacts of past and ongoing efforts to project power."

Locking in... 🚬

Hot take:

Oil and gas are not energy sources conducive to sovereignty.

A feature that I've been complaining about NOSTR not having exists. it's probably existed for a while.

Absolutely REVOLUTIONARY night for my NOSTR future
