I made this leather satscard a while back for @Paul & realized I never posted it here. Working with leather is tedious, but the end result always creates an aesthetic that cannot be mass produced. This work posed many challenges and after roughly 3 prototypes, I am thrilled with how this one came out.

Sad day
Finally emptying & deleting @npub1mut...23vg 🥲
I was really impressed with what the team put together and had high hopes for its future. But I understand the difficulty and cost in keeping something like this running and don’t fault them at all for their decision to let it go. They made something really cool and maybe someone can find a great way to use the code and bring it back.
Luckily, my deleting the app isn’t because of a lack of options, but because I have my fully sovereign, very responsive, lightning address compatible wallet using NWC and @npub1get...0nfm Hub and most of my other Lightning wallets just aren’t needed anymore.
Kudos to all the amazing builders out there driving us forward 🫡🔥
Onward 🚀

We appreciate the love and support. 🤙 It's a bittersweet moment to read this note. You're right that the vision is still alive and well with other options. Alby Hub is awesome!
We're announcing some cool stuff soon that will enable 1,000s of other "Mutiny" type projects in the future. The core that made Mutiny Wallet possible will be available to all the apps in your pocket.

Christians,
Help me out here.
How does one feel strongly about Jesus? How does one have a personal relationship with Christ?
In general I feel very little or nothing when I think about god and he exists to me more as a vague concept.
Any advice?

I recommend the book of Mark. https://www.esv.org/Mark+1/

I would suggest the book “The Reason for God” by Timothy Keller. It is an exploration of arguments from Christian skeptics. There is a section that focuses specifically on the relationship with God

“How does one have a personal relationship with Christ?”
By making yourself available to Him. Do this and the questions about feelings and vagueness will sort of take care of themselves.

Read a tiny little book called “The practice of the presence of God” by the monk Brother Lawrence.
It’s a 1 hour read and it will change your life.
TL;DR the move is not finding a way to be with Him. It’s to practice never not being with Him. And that takes a lifetime.

Feelings and individuality are over-valued in modern Christianity. But it is possible to feel strongly about Jesus, as a real person, not as an abstract concept. To do that, you have to know who he is — this is best done by reading the gospels, which are in part his biography. This brings you to the same level of affection you might have for Tesla, or Vitruvius, or Archimedes, or whoever your favorite (most loved) dead historical figure might be.
Next, pray and read the Psalms (and pray the Psalms), because they are the words of Jesus, given by inspiration to David et al. This makes you an active participant in the conversation between God and the Church which has been happening throughout the history.
One other great resource for understanding the "loveliness of Christ" is a book by the same name, by Samuel Rutherford. It's sort of a mixture of all of the above, including personal and theological articulations of what Jesus should mean to the Christian. Especially good in seasons of grief, when God can seem most remote, and when Jesus can become most real.
Feelings may wax and wane--they're not a reliable guide. Aim instead to have your understanding of who Christ is and what he did and he is doing sharpened and amazed. Aim at your heart through your mind--see the first few verses of Colossians 3.
Read his word. Study it. Pray and sing with the psalmists. Study something meaty, like the Heidelberg catechism. Find and join a bible-believing church where the gospel of grace is preached faithfully, week in and week out--don't fly solo, we're not meant for that. 🤙
Hope this helps in some small way.

The secret longterm plan for Damus notedeck is to be a nostr browser/os for micro nostr apps. You won’t need to do any of the hard stuff to build a nostr app. Every app will have access fast local relay and database (nostrdb) unlike the web. You won’t have to deal with relay pools or relay models. Just start building. Maybe crazy idea… 🤔
143 days ago•••
I know I personally want to build a few app that run inside notedeck:
- A tab for the notebook app for tracking threads in an inbox/email-like fashion. Pin notes into your notebook for tracking
- a tab for the nostrverse: a 2d visualization of your social graph
I feel comfortable doing all this crazy stuff now because the local relay model is so efficient. Tightly integrated local relay makes all of these things actually doable. Just imagine if any installable app had access to this power 🤔

I'd love a social graph visualization as well!

When I see a intellectual people NOT understand Bitcoin, what is often preventing them from “getting it”, is a deeply held, core belief that the world is spiraling out of control and can’t get better. Because of this pessimistic conviction, it’s almost like it’s impossible for them to wrap their head around it. It’s a very strange yet persistent theme.

Most either (a) think they missed out financially, and/or (b) only ever hear and see negative mainstream coverage and value the opinions of their like-minded peers over new information from the edge. You can be very intelligent and highly educated and still not appreciate or understand the problems it was created to solve.

This is honestly a really sad day. As Mutiny wallet is sailing toward the sunset, I hope that Lightning wallet devs will step up their game to fill the void they left. We need self-custodial wallets that run a node on your phone. We need options. We need the talent.
We probably also need another wallet that mixes Ecash with Lightning to cover everything from very small balances to very large balances. One that let's you start with 100 sat and holds your hands and opens channels for you as you acquire more sats.
I've been building Lightning wallets for years before I started working on Cashu. I know how fucking hard it is. Ecash is child's play compared to Lightning's complexity.
My deepest respect goes to the lunatics who put a fucking Lightning node in the browser and pushed LDK to places where no one else has ever been.

bought a budget android tablet to test out a pre-alpha version of Damus Notedeck on it. Works quite well! Most other apps on this thing are sluggish.
The difference between this app and most other nostr clients is that it only ever talks to the local relay. This reduces the overall experience of latency and lag when using the app. Once the note arrives, it will always load instantly at any point in the future. We will be moving iOS to this model not long after we iron out the bugs on the android side.
Another distinguishing feature is that Damus Android is purely native, it's running directly on the CPU and drawing directly to the GPU. This makes it insanely responsive on all devices, since there is no javascript, web or java overhead.
Excited to release this sometime this year! Building multiple apps in parallel with such a small team is time consuming, but we're getting there. Thank you for your patience!
