@Cervecita156497 @TFTC21 @callebtc From what I know, Nostr VPN is an overlay VPN (an alternative to Tailscale). This is differe from a traditional VPN service that routes your internet traffic through a VPN server, like Proton VPN.

@TFTC21 @callebtc What's the difference to Nostr VPN for free?

Europa is a new decentralized VPN marketplace built on Nostr and paid exclusively with Bitcoin. It launched this week from @callebtc, the developer behind the Cashu ecash protocol. The concept is simple but the implications are significant. Instead of trusting a single VPN company with a global server fleet, one privacy policy, and one monthly subscription, Europa lets independent VPN operators list their servers on an open directory. Each operator runs their own infrastructure in their own jurisdiction, writes their own no-log policy, and sets their own price. Users browse the directory, pick an operator, and pay them directly over Lightning or Cashu ecash. The marketplace never touches the money and takes no cut. After payment, the operator delivers a standard WireGuard or OpenVPN config file. No proprietary app, no custom client. Users import it into the same open-source VPN software they would use anywhere else and connect. When the bundle runs out, the tunnel goes quiet. No auto-renewal, no card on file, no surprise charges. The reputation system runs on Nostr. Instead of editorial ratings or paid placements, recommendations and complaints come from people in your social graph. Sign in with a Nostr identity and the directory weights endorsements from accounts you already follow. If Nostr is not your thing, ignore the feature entirely and start with the smallest bundle from an unfamiliar operator to limit your risk. The entire protocol is built on public Nostr events. Operator listings, reputation data, and payment coordination all live on the Nostr network. The Europa website is just one viewer of that data, not the source. Other directories can exist. If Europa makes bad editorial choices, users can leave without losing access to the underlying marketplace. The protocol spec is CC0 (public domain) and the code is MIT licensed. What makes this meaningful is the architecture. Traditional VPN providers consolidate trust into one company in one jurisdiction. If that company gets acquired, served with a warrant, or breached, every customer is exposed at once. Europa distributes that trust across independent operators. Users can spread their traffic across multiple operators they actually chose rather than trusting a single brand to make every decision for them. Anyone with a server can become an operator. Anyone with a Lightning wallet can become a customer. No accounts required for either side.

@rizpecto I got this warning. Should I actually be worried?

If you have Gemini Pro , stop stressing about API keys. You can get Gemini API access through Google Developer Program for free . Just use it in Hermes. Gemini 3.5 Flash is genuinely good.

@Rothmus Tucker Carlson is the typical "hate the West so much that you start loving its enemies" type, same as Hasan Piker.

Tucker Carlson is really simping for THIS?

@Anaya_sharma876 I use Macs only because of the hardware and software compatibility, for me, macOS itself is worse. Bonus points for .DS_Store, Preview saving stuff to external drives, and fullscreen mode turning every app into its own planet

If Linux is so powerful… why do most developers still use macOS?

@LightningNewsX I thought CashApp was some kind of fiat app, isn't it?

NEW: CashApp reveals nearby payment feature, 3 to 1

@dlouhymichal @AdriChochelova Humenné mentioned 💪💪💪💪🇸🇰🇸🇰🇸🇰🇸🇰🦅🦅🦅🦅🥃🥃🥃🥃

@AdriChochelova Se odstěhuj do Humenného. Tam maj hezkej skanzen.

Památky nám znovu nevyrostou. Nový stavební zákon je může nenávratně zničit. Naše kulturní dědictví je to, co dělá Česko Českem. Vláda s ním nebezpečně hazarduje. Dnes slavíme Mezinárodní den památek a sídel. Tak abychom napříště neslavili jen Mezinárodní den mrakodrapů.

@Schnecek @bratricek @RadicalFalk In my opinion, this isn't patriotism but irresponsibility-risking the lives and health of my children and wife just so I can be a "proud patriot" who never left.

@vortexzephyron @bratricek @RadicalFalk Yeah, that’s patriotism. Fighting for your country. A duty... At least that’s how it used to be. Once everyone’s gone, it’ll be the neighborhood’s turn. And then what? Do you think they’ll stop at the border? LOL

I'm leaving Germany | Brutally Honest Review

@bratricek @RadicalFalk And what is he supposed to do? Put his daughter/wife at risk just because he was born there?

I live literally next door. Everybody knows that your country is being ravaged by an invasion of the worst people kicked out of the third world and your leaders are anti-white communists literally hating your skin color and hoping you will die. You are just too afraid to being called "right wing Hitler" so you rather leave. Absolute German cuckery on a level never seen before.

@iwarpbtc Muj dell vydrzi tak 2h (psali ze 18)

What is stopping you from coding like this?

@Kicom21 Co je zas kurva Tarafab

Updated version. For all the $TSLA fanboys.

@xNZNKMT @callebtc Yes, cashu itself is a protocol/payment system. However, cashu.me is the reference wallet built directly by the core developers of the protocol, so it essentially acts as the "primary" wallet for it

@vortexzephyron @callebtc I actually had no idea cashu was a wallet I had thought it was more of a payment system rather than a wallet.

Build on Cashu. The most popular Chaumian Ecash protocol in the world lives on Bitcoin. - ton of projects - libraries in many languages - active open source community - building wallet? use existing mints - building mint? use existing wallets - best-in-class privacy by default

@xNZNKMT @callebtc cashu.me (PWA) – Best overall nutstash.app (PWA) – Best for privacy Minibits – Android app (I dont like ux) Macadamia – iPhone app If you can't use PWAs, use the apps, but I personally recommend learning to use PWAs.

@callebtc Do you have a wallet recommendation?

@Bitcoinvkapse Tohle se mi deje cim dal tim vic, hlavne u protonu

Jak se připravit nesmyslně o zákazníka 🤡 Ano, mám VPN. S českou IP. Asi jsme zločinec nebo tak něco ...

@TousiTVOfficial No one is willing to sacrifice themselves for a woman like a white man, not a feminist.

🇮🇷 🇦🇺 UPDATE: Only 7 Iranian women’s football players managed to run away from their IRGC handlers and defect to Australia The rest are being sent home by force and the Australian authorities are just standing around watching it.

@tarabys Co to je?

@JaroslavBeck If you're going to get an AI agent, give it a male personality. That way you can freely tell it to fuck off.

I just canceled all my cloud LLM subscriptions. Now running all major tasks on a small local cluster powered by 2× Mac Studios working in tandem. This definitely was not on my Q1 2026 bingo card.

Když už si pořídíte AI agenta, dejte mu chlapskou osobnost. Ať ho můžete poslat do prdele.

@openclaw Any chance of nvidia dim api support?

🦞 OpenClaw 2026.2.9 just dropped 🔍 Grok web search provider 🧠 No more post-compaction amnesia 🛡️ Context overflow recovery ⏰ Cron reliability overhaul + 40 more fixes from 25+ contributors Elon we added your model btw, you're welcome. github.com/openclaw/openc…

@mernit @openclaw How? 😅

@vortexzephyron @openclaw need to implement it as a subagent, not in openclaw directly

PSA to everyone using @openclaw nvidia has a *free* kimi k2.5 API you can use instead of opus 4.5
