Before, I never heard his videos say the word Monero, and now I'm hearing it in a lot of his videos. Something seems to have changed.

Add nostr support to read/write to relays in wallets such as Cake, Feather, Monerujo, GUI, etc

Signup:

1. Wallet generates nostr npub and nsec (and stresses hard to the user to keep it safe since it is the most valuable piece of information they will ever own)
2. Wallet generates a polyseed
3. Wallet encrypts seed and publishes it to say 10 nostr relays

Login:

1. User enters nsec or uses an auth app such as Amber
2. Wallet reads all notes to get the encrypted seed
3. Once found the wallet discards all notes that are not encrypted seeds
4. If only one encrypted seed is found, it is used. Otherwise, a list is shown to the user and they can choose which one to use.
5. Syncs wallet and use as we do today

I see three existential cons with this.

1. Loss or theft (possibly by physical force)
2. The encryption algorithm turns out to be flawed.
3. Quantum computers break encryption.

This also would have privacy implications since if other applications start using it that could basically turn your npub into a public digital ID (ala worldcoin/social credit score). Sure, each application may use encrypted data, but somebody would still know that you use a ride-sharing application, or a Monero wallet, etc. And what times you use them at (at least for interactive apps such as rideshare/websites).

Another one mentioning Monero: https://odysee.com/@Crypto-Tips:b/can-bitcoin-repeat-574-returns-this:4

This one brings a ton of excellent updates. Take a look at the change log.

I am a Kagi user and have been for 7 months now. I signed up for the 300 searches per month plan because I felt like that would fit me well enough and it turns out I average 87 searches per month. That's a lot lower than I thought it would be by quite a bit.

I have mentioned before that the main problem I saw with Monero is the price fluctuations of items and that it could be fixed by simply choosing a number and sticking to it. Well, I decided since nobody else was doing it I would. Items at my store will only be up for a potential price change on April 1st, August 1st and December 1st of each year. This allows the possibility of actually beginning to make a budget in Monero that won't be invalid in the next 5 minutes. I want to be a general store selling baking pans, small appliances (coffee pots, toasters, blenders and the like), and some common household tools (hammers, tape measures, etc). I am open to suggestions from the community as to products they want and need to get closer to living daily life on Monero.

Edit: the August 1st price change will be 0 and will be reviewed again on December 1st.

Thanks to the DOS attackers 1.0.9 comes with many connection reliability improvements.

This is a mandatory update.

At least I still have the memory of it.

Prices of things are becoming absolutely insane. $800+ rent, $30,000 cars, $10 sub sandwiches, etc. It would be nice to do a 3/1 split and cut everything by 2/3. Then we would have $266 rent, $10,000 cars, and $3.33 sub sandwiches. Wages, debts, everything would drop to 1/3 what they are now. It would also make coins useful again since a vending machine soda would be 2 quarters again.
