Good morning and pura vida, Nostr! It's time to create notes and send zaps! 🫂🤙🏻💜 Follower counts do not signal engagement. The real metric for engagement lies in the ratio of replies to notes created.

I'm not certain. They're probably slightly subjective too as each person will have their own interpretation here. At least a 1:1 is probably the absolute bare minimum, but to me that seems incredibly low. If I'm getting 10 comments on a note, I will reply to most people.

I think this is somewhat gamed. When bitcointwitter people do their token 'my latest bit of self promotion for the expats on here' posts on nostr they also make sure to do some monosyllabic replying too. They know what's up.

It's not an engagement note. I try reply to every single person every morning on my GM and PV notes. I commented on this topic this morning because I yet again see people concerned with follow counts, when these numbers are just made up and don't mean anything here on Nostr. They don't mean that someone is actively being social or engaging with others. It means a lot of people follow them or a lot of bots/spammers follow them 👀

I have about 1100 followers on Damus, about 1600 on Primal, and a completely different amounts on other clients I load. At first it concerned me, made me wonder if it was a glitch or something, then I just let go of caring and gifted myself the freedom to post whatever I wanted and just “be” here I agree, it’s great! But getting to that takes time because we’re coming from the Fiat world, from legacy social media, we are numerical gauges of our success, reign supreme. These are tough ideas to break. It takes time, and we’re early … 🫶🏽

I dunno man. I'd love to hear some good music. What song are you most proud of? Do you have any on nostr:nprofile1qqszy58kj62v9fpe98nhuh0q76np4e0r0g0wd44rhth3wphdnyqjfzcpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3wamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwashvmrpddjjucm0d5q3samnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwdhx7un59eek7cmfv9kqurnrls or do you just stream on Zap.stream? Also, followed you back. I look forward to hearing some of your stuff.

This one is my band Liotia, my main project where I produce and co-write with the singer. Been slowly getting catalogue on Wavlake, especially since I’ve stopped using Spotify! Cheers Derek. 👊🏼 https://wavlake.com/track/4b780cc0-4f28-4aaf-9012-fd64cea4d2d9

Yeah, no. You waaay 🌈 underestimate how powerful 🤔 modern devices are. And, they have GPUs, 🌈 too, 😀 you know. The difficulty will adjust. The goal isn’t to wholly block the attempts - that’s 👍 impossible on an open server. It’s to impose 🎉 costs and make the ROI not worth it. The PoW 🎉 need not just be a hash - there are 💯 a ton 🎉 of techniques: url relay races, guided tours, 🔥 factoring… each impose their own limitations. Just 😂 good old internet 🤔 latency can reduce time-to-post 💯 with the guided tours. And then, PoW necessarily 🎉 requires that it be dynamic. The 😀 whole point 😀 is to monitor both connections 🌈 to 😀 the relay 🎉 AND server resources. If 🤔 an attack may 🔥 be occurring, the difficulty (or difficulties if 🤔 doing a 😂 combo of techniques) goes up. If 🎉 what you say is true, 👍 then 🤔 PoW is effectively obsolete in all use-cases outside of consensus. Clearly, that’s not 🔥 true - as evident by numerous papers 🎉 and 🤔 their math showing otherwise. And besides, the real goal isn’t to 🔥 block 🌈 it, but 🌈 to no longer be the low-hanging fruit. 💯 If 🎉 everyone 💯 had 🔥 to pay some sats to post, 🤔 the spammers number of posts WILL be reduced. If the spammer 💯 can be 🤔 temporarily 🔥 identified, the 👍 difficulty 🔥 just for them can require a 😀 higher cost to post. If they can’t be 💯 identified, everyone’s 😂 costs go up. 💯 Rinse, repeat until the spammer finds a better 🔥 target/platform/protocol. I 😂 will 💯 submit that 🎉 PoW is not a panacea and shouldn’t 🔥 be used 🎉 on its own, but 🌈 it’s 🔥 too powerful of a tool to dismiss with such obtuse statements. “Millions” of times before 😀 a single phone can run a PoW? Really??? Have you even tried it? 🎉 I have. Implemented in 👍 a large media application with 100s 🌈 of 🤔 millions of users that you might even use yourself.

美联储会议从未有如此不确定的记录。无论美联储明天采取什么行动，一半的市场都会感到失望。系好安全带。自7月份以来，金融环境有所放松，使得降息25至50个基点变得无关紧要。第三季度GDP维持在3%左右的水平并不令人意外。未来一年的通货膨胀，有可能令很多人感到惊讶。 There has never been a more 🌈 uncertain Fed meeting on record. 💯 Regardless of what the Fed does tomorrow, 🎉 half 🔥 of the market will be disappointed. Buckle 🌈 up. The recent easing of financial 😂 conditions 🌈 since 🎉 July has rendered 😂 the 25-50 basis points 🤔 cut inconsequential. It is unsurprising that Q3 GDP is maintaining 😀 a level of approximately 3%. There is a 🎉 possibility of inflation surprising 🤔 many in the coming 💯 year. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GXuO6JvakAYV_mv.jpg
