About the Brave recommendation, what is your take about these shortcoming? #258621

Possibly the best Bitcoin meme ever. Zap Guy Swann cause he created it.

hahaha, right. I wanted to ask you the full list, but it's not worth it. People should do their work and educate themselves in Bitcoin.

I'm on Librewolf (a hardened version of Firefox) and Vivaldi for chrome-like experience. Jitsi meet and other visio chat web based to share screen are not compatible on LibreWolf (nor Firefox). It's a shame we have to rely on chrome.

You can check ungoogled chromium that is a good recommendation. https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium

Anyway, Brave source code is on github, (but who has time to audit the code?) since then, if the company listened to the community and things have changed in a good way for user, please let me know. Don't trust verify. https://github.com/brave/brave-browser

First red flag for me is the BAT. Many years ago, when it started, I was for it, but since I went down the rabbit hole for Bitcoin, I cannot stand BAT anymore.

Do you plan to add TOR support to better have the node on the TOR network? I'm coming from start9 where you have one iso file and everything is ready to be deployed for you. So to me, microbolt is more hands on to learn more in depth every piece.

Why not put your shorts on a chair in the evening, so you don't have to pick them up from the floor?

How now I get it why we have 17% of lost bitcoin. Sad story.

🤣🤣

@adam_coinos_io I had a question, would you consider doing a package for Start9, so for plebs running a Start9 node they could easily host your solution? https://docs.start9.com/0.3.5.x/developer-docs/packaging

https://blog.jinformatique.net/Bitcoin/2024/MRUNotFutureReady4BTC.webp Since 3-5 years, they suffer from inflation like other countries. On BTC map, only two people accept bitcoin on the whole Island. The difference with South Africa is striking. Someone should tell them about bitcoin… 🤔

This one resonated deeply inside me as I’m facing the exact same situation currently.

I agree with you. I had to start somewhere and Alby is providing ease of use. Later I plan to run my own node.

not exactly. I thought I lost my SN account following Alby's migration with the creation of new keys, so I created another one, because I was not able to log, I just had lightning activated. Alby support helped me to log back again in my first one using old LNDHub. I took the opportunity to add my bio. That's why you see all this activity here.

Thanks. I subscribed to your posts.
