no idea about what other NWC capable wallets. let me see...

Serve NWC from your own custody

Alby Hub — the reference implementation. Self-custodial, LDK integrated or LND/Phoenixd/Cashu remote backends, and per-app connection strings with independent budgets and permissions, so each app gets a scoped key rather than your node. Docker, Umbrel, Start9, or their cloud.

LNbits — NWC via plugin, flexible about funding sources, good if you already run it for other things.

Zeus — embedded node plus NWC connections since 0.12; works as a wallet service, though only while the app is alive.

Your own node — cln-nip47 plugin for CLN, or nostr-wallet-connect-lnd as a bridge for LND.

Cashu backed — Minibits, Cashu.me, Nutstash, or Bankify to turn any mint into an NWC wallet. Note Nutstash's NWC only works in the foreground.

Custodial, no infra

Coinos, Primal Wallet, Rizful (instant disposable nodes, good for throwaway/testing), LNCurl (create a wallet with one curl — genuinely useful for scripted or agent wallets), Buho, and Zap.land on nwc-enclaved. Alby Account still exists but they're phasing out the shared custodial wallet in favour of Hub.

alby hub is really easy to run?

No, Pete Hegseth did not serve in the Marine Corps. He served as an infantry officer in the **U.S. Army National Guard**.

Here is a breakdown of his military service:

* **Branch**: U.S. Army National Guard.
* **Role**: Commissioned as an infantry officer after graduating from Princeton University in 2003.
* **Rank**: He reached the rank of **Major**.
* **Service Period**: He served from 2002 to 2021, resigning in January 2021.
* **Deployments**: He participated in active-duty deployments to **Guantanamo Bay, Iraq, and Afghanistan**.
* **Awards**: His military awards include two Bronze Star Medals, a Joint Commendation Medal, and two Army Commendation Medals.

While he has appeared at Marine Corps events in his official capacity, his own service was entirely with the Army.

_________________________

haha. after analysing the file deepsnek sez it's fake:

Left crop is the tear; right is the final frame's leg and shoe. Both fail. Building a contact sheet so you can check it without taking my word.

Verdict: generated. Not a film frame, not a colourised b/w frame, and not two stills either - your two screenshots are two moments of one clip.

**What the file actually is.** Animated WebP, 853x480, 222 frames, 15 fps, 14.93 seconds, loop count 0, 26 MB. Every frame is stored full rather than as a delta. 853x480 at 15 fps is the output envelope of a video generation pipeline, not a scan of anything.

**The failures, in order of how hard they are to explain away.**

1. **Identity instability.** The small figure in the brocade tailcoat with the bow tie ages and de-ages across the clip: a child at t=1.0s, a child at t=6.6s with a finger to its lips, a full adult with heavy lipstick and a broad grin at t=9.3s, a child again at t=13.3s. No cast member, no makeup department and no post house does that. It is the single hardest artifact to fake and the hardest to explain.
2. **The final second.** At t=14.7s the character has become a full-size adult in wide black trousers and modern flat shoes standing in the straw - a different body from the one the previous fourteen seconds were about.
3. **The tear at t=11.9s.** A chain of discrete bright beads with no wet track under them, no meniscus, and no gravity-consistent path down the cheek.
4. **The jacket.** The brocade pattern melts and re-forms between t=9.3s and t=10.6s.
5. **Skin and eye.** Poreless with uniform subsurface glow, iris rendered as a flat disc, eyebrow dissolving into the forehead, and in the leg crop the calf meets the shoe with no ankle joint at all.

I have put the contact sheet and the two failure crops in the chat as downloads so you can run your eye down them yourself.

**Why it read as real to you.** The colour cast and the grain are a deliberate style layer - warm Eastmancolor shift, soft contrast, halation, dust. It is a convincing imitation of a 1960s fairy tale transfer, and at 400px inside a desktop screenshot the eye has nothing to catch on. The tells are all at 1:1 and in motion, which is precisely where a screenshot cannot reach.

So: not the 1960 DEFA film, not Genschow, not a colourised frame of either. A generated clip dressed as one, posted by someone testing nostr.build's upload path. The Rumpelstiltskin reading was the intended reading - the generator was aimed at exactly that.

maybe i'm just ambitious but afher 4 months i'm almost at the end of the path to MVP on a compiler, and barely started on a semantic lattice AI engine that can translate english to japanese and i have not had any time to scratch myself between keeping the clanker constantly grinding on finishing that compiler and more importantly, completing tasks i am getting paid to do.

i'm sure you have a bucket list of projects that you have forgotten about. like, stuff born out of frustration with apps you had to use for work.

and programming languages, if there is one i think you would benefit from studying it's erlang. erlang has a strong isolation, message passing architecture that helps a lot with making reliable applications. my moxie language has an architecture very closely reseemling it. even if the language doesn't explicitly support the principle of "share by communicating, not communicate by sharing" the architectural chops you will win by learning to work with actor/csp model almost all languages will let you build that way and the untangling of things fixes so many bugs all by itself.

A fun extra stress in my life right now, pasting a train timetable that had the word turkestan makes deepseek say "let's tark about something else, that is outside myscope." i pasted a link from a google emergency message about wildfire risk in kazakhstan nearby astana, " outof scope..."

china censorship. There is a color revolution being cooked up in western china. Somethingyou may have heard about the uyhur and the tibet. These are beingdone tocut china's main route of land based logistics for trading withthe neighbours, russia andthe midle east.

it's throwing this shit up for the first time only since i arrived in kazakhstan. and kazakhthan is a tinderbox. Chinese infrastructure development and chinese workers, uzbek and tajik immigrants who all wish they could go to live in germany or aushralia. kazakh expats heported from russia refusing enlisment. Russian boys leaving to all over the place to evade enlistment. It's a pressure cooker. Kazakhstan is going to blow up within a few years, almost certainly

2026-09-22T19:51:11Z

so, i have decided that i'm going to be traveling to georgia via train through russia. the reasons:

- zero risk of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) with my healing surgical implant stuff inside my leg
- total cost will be about the same, a little more, than the cheapest, horrible 2 hop flight via baku with 9 hour layover.

travel time will be about 4-5 days, 7 hours from astana into russia to the main train line west, then a bit over 2 days in a 4 person sleeper cabin, clack clack clack zzzzzzzZZzZzZZz and then the roughest part will be crossing into georgia, maybe up to 7 hours. whatever. it's not gonna kill me. i'll be so well rested at that point from the most pleasant sleeping environment i have been in since i left croatia.

plus as a bonus, i get two russia stamps in my visa pages.

recent events with me having an accident entirely not my fault and landing in a creepy hospital under a psycho doctor's care involving turning my veins into a pincushion and stealing my passport and the way that the nostr community, with the exception of the few i have done proper business with, not so much the lack of material help but really more the indifference has kinda soured me on ttis community pretty much irrevocably.

those who have been supportive, please don't misunderstand me, i am eternally grateful for your moral support. but i cannot in all honesty say that there is any kind of community spirit here. i probably am going to go underground now. focus on the few real people physically around me who aren't hypnotised by endless nonsense of the endless distractions of the internet.

i am going to be fine, thanks to the few humans out there. but i can tell that my contributions are not sought or valued.

breaking the links of the utxos, this excludes lightning state channels. changing hash functions instead of fixing the difficulty adjustment, this reduces security and requires centralisation... bitcoin needs confidential transactions, and production ready algorithms have been around for years. it needs the instruction set cut down to only sufficient for lightning. taproot must be deprecated.

KYC is so gay.

so, the last option i'm trying to use is binance pay for this kazakhstan VPS provider. but because my phone screen is cracked and there is a screen protector slightly mussing the image on the front camera, their facial recognition system refuses to accept the image any which way i try.

now i am stuck with the bank helpdesk trying to figure out why the payment gateway is refusing to allow me to pay.

and i'm pretty sure it's because of sanctions against russia. even tried google pay, same issue. through VTB bank. same issue. freedompay, same issue. and binance won't let me put credit in it because my phone has a fucking screen protector fuzzing the edges of the image.

gay, gay, and most definitely thoroughly gay.

it looks like maybe my final workaround is that O! mobile provider has O! bank and with that i can go draw cash from an ATM, then load the O! bank account and charge it that way, then it's a kyrgyz bank talking to a kazakh/russki bank and maybe that gets around it.
