This is actually pretty common around the EU - we're personally aware of dozens of people who are doing the same (zero-fiat). One guy in our team hasn't used a bank since 2023.

There are a few things you need to focus on:

Try and get out of the habit of "whipping out" your bank card or mobile pay / whatever. If you really can't use Bitcoin, always pay with cash. And never purchase anything without first asking "can I pay with Bitcoin?"

You just need to prefix the npub with nostr: -> see: https://github.com/spacecowboy/Feeder/pull/483/commits/95340d4b5ad7cf13cb740305c3ad1fb6b929a2c9

You might be able to use this RSS reader, which recently added Nostr support: https://github.com/spacecowboy/Feeder

Yes, you should send to a new wallet, maybe even several (different passphrases?)

This way if you are ever obligated to provide an xpub, you don't lose privacy

Not having a phone number is definitely the way

Aah sorry yeah I misunderstood

No, they haven't built anything like that, not sure they'd bother tbh

However much you send them, that's the amount of internet you get. No change.

Thankyou!

seems to rely on a central identity store and requires a personal server

yeah, mirotalk is the underlying platform of hivetalk

mirotalk

you mean, from a tollgate operator?

It would be possible, because you'd be online by that point and could verify (claim) any change

this is why a vpn is an integral part of tollgate

it's not for everyone, though, admittedly.

pihole will cut a chunk of that back out for you

you can generate an offline token, offline, for any amount using most cashu wallets (eg minibits)

an early version of tollgate did require old style tokens (amount is a factor of 2), pretty sure that's resolved now

operator sets the price. amount you pay is the amount you get

Both starlink and subscription cellular require that you reveal your legal identity and meatspace location, as well as to purchase fiat to pay their monthly bills

Tollgate is a promise of free (as in freedom) internet, without fiat subscription shackles

Would you be prepared to earn some precious sats for sharing your connection?

yes, it would display a price in sats

It's a document signing tool on Nostr

Whilst not the primary purpose, it does let you sign a message (eg pdf or word doc) with an offline computer - so long as you have an offline signing mechanism (ie, on the same computer)

The sanctum tool you shilled looks great. Is it available for offline deployment?

Agreed that browser extensions are generally bad, but what would be the retarded part about using it in an offline computer?

for info, SIGit also supports remote signer flow (which could work on, say, an air gapped mobile with amber and citrine)

With SIGit there is an offline flow

You sign the file(s) with your Nostr key (eg browser extension) then transfer the encrypted result using preferred mechanism (eg usb pen drive)
