Software engineer, FOSS, #Bitcoin supporter & troublemaker. πŸ€–πŸ§Œ Mostro builder. ⬛⬛⬛πŸŸ₯⬛ Cypherpunks write code.
The @Mostro app obtains the Bitcoin price of fiat currencies from the Yadio API. Yadio, like many other websites, is blocked in Venezuela by the dictatorship, which is why users in Venezuela cannot create market price orders on Mostro right now. Since I started working on tools that use Bitcoin, I've been avoiding relying on web domains precisely because of how easy it is to block them. Using Telegram is a good option, but it has the drawback of being centralized. That's why Mostro exists, solving this problem by using Nostr. Given the blocking of Yadio, the solution is more Nostr. That's why I've contacted the Yadio developers and proposed that they also publish the prices on Nostr to circumvent censorship in Venezuela. They are already working on it! πŸ˜ƒ
This Statue of Liberty was also made by the French sculptor FrΓ©dΓ©ric Auguste Bartholdi, the same artist who created the one in New York, and was installed in 1875, 11 years before the one in New York. If you come to Buenos Aires, it's very close to Chinatown, in Barrancas de Belgrano.
Primal is a nostr service, nostr goal is to fight censorship by removing the single point of failure, but primal is working exclusively as a SINGLE POINT OF FAILURE, I have days trying to use it from Argentina and it doesn't work, it's also impossible to connect directly to the relays I want because everything pases through a cache service which is the SPF This is not how nostr should be use it, if you want to add a SPF feature make it optional but not the only one, otherwise primal can be easily censored on authoritarian regimes
