Yes! Also, RSS will live forever, because it's still orders of magnitude simpler than Nostr and already deployed across the Web. So we will have to use both for the foreseeable future.

thanks for the explanation. Did you try RoboSats before with other wallets.
I am not sure if I follow correctly, because in RoboSats afaik the payments stay pending until the trade is completed. this is a bit confusing, but part of how it works.

It's not possible to know what users want, therefore developers should work on what they think will good.
But even if it was possible, if it was known that users wanted a _bad_ thing, should developers work on that anyway? Or should they instead work on a _good_ thing?

I mean what’s in the logs before those lines.
unlink should not be needed.
in such cases some connectivity issue is there. but I am not sure what caused it.
it could be that the hub could not connect to the relay for some reason.
-
@ 330fb143:7ee42dac
2024-12-15 19:54:06
what's happening around there - before this?
I think that error means that the Alby account tries to connect to the hub via NWC but does not get a response.
-
@ 330fb143:7ee42dac
2024-12-15 19:31:03
restart the hub.
unlock it.
try to use alby go or something else
then get the app logs. - it will be a lot of noise but we would look for some relay issue. or some error.
-
@ 330fb143:7ee42dac
2024-12-15 19:05:06
albyhub logs, yes. I think you can check in the settings -> debug.
and do you see something about the relay? and after you try to use an app like Alby Go what do the logs say?

@ 330fb143:7ee42dac
2024-12-11 13:16:58
it does it through NWC. The Alby server gets a NWC connection which you can also setup manually and only give it permission to create and check invoices.
But at least it sees the invoices created through the lightning address then.
does that answer the question?

the buzzpay app is simply using NWC so you can give it any NWC connection.
By default the family&friends sub accounts have also the permission to send - so be careful there.
but you can create a family&friends sub account, take the nwc string and head over to buzzpay and enter it there.

Some companies already do this with usage credits and/or time-limited plans. I think the problem with using Cashu (as is) for this is that you can't accept fiat and give out tokens that people can then convert to BTC on Lightning through your server without becoming an unlicensed exchange. It would have to be utility tokens that are only spendable for your own service to avoid this, no?

The EEC was enough for free trade agreements. And you don't have to be in the EU to participate in the Schengen treaty/zone (for visa-free travel). Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein, and Switzerland are not in the EU, but part of Schengen, while Cyprus and Ireland are EU countries, but not in Schengen.
The fact that people conflate the EU with these things is simply that this has been the narrative that was pushed. Also, people who were e.g. against the EUR at the time were vilified as right-wing extremists, same as anyone who criticizes the EU today.
