I think lightning and nostr proved a very important concept that may have gone overlooked. Using completely open protocols and freedom incentives, you all donated over 3.5m sats to me with one ask. This is actually a serious amount of money. No VCs, no boards, no strings. And we are still very small. I hope this signals to other developers to take a chance and build on these protocols. The community highly values this kind of work. I am extremely humbled by the outpouring of support, it did make me a bit emotional if I'm being honest. It's highly motivating to keep building, and it basically proves that nostr and lightning is definitely gonna make it. Thank you all again so much 🥺🥺🫂🫂🙏🙏

See what I say here In the seventh month of this year I talked about the idea of what if Noster supported investments in Noster via the network and mining by buying directly from Noster telegram wallets. https://njump.me/nevent1qqsgfsyz2g089tjldr6ax9m78pw86ddvvg6aap6azjs3eqthq7zwnqspzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtczyqr43kkglejjezuccdr9mmx2ym2q6n2kyrm5a9lmwx3mu3pms8slcqcyqqqqqqg8gxhmm

It’s about the interaction (online/ offline) and the events are a big help. From the Nostr events to local meet-ups. Share your craft, and try to collab with others. Its better to grow together. (Because you can’t do everything and also know what you can’t ) I would suggest to post daily your craft on Nostr (creating is what you already love to do so no problem to post about it) Meet the people you interact with in real life and cool things will happen. But most important, do what you love, once you do this you can’t stop doing it and this energy will attract like minded people and the ‘money’ will follow. But it’s all about Proof Of Work. Without battles and hard work nothing will work out. Keep standing up and believe in yourself. Don’t look to much to others their path, only get inspired by others 🙏

The ask is the most crucial part of #v4v. It's not begging, it's explaining a very new model to those who might not know or may know but have forgotten. Don't ever be shy about the ask. nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzpckv7l8jqspl8u4y54dn9rcduwlrs4v2040nxce0m2h0cunvrj8tqqsd939cr9nnd8ez933lagh6jrqklfzcw24a5pst34g3e4qasp9lqhqz74t6t

am purple pilling my media students... hoping to get them on board as content creators... just sharing how mindblowing it is that from one post, you can essentially be gifted lunch money for a day! The hard part is getting them to see that it isn't a scam! 😃

I think it is well deserved. @utxo the webmaster 🧑‍💻 has put in the proof of work. I would encourage more zaps to be sent their way. #asknostr @utxo the webmaster 🧑‍💻 - If you have a min, what is your suggested set of #nostr stacks for a user or relay provider to run that provide complementary features and UX/UI experiences? If you have a one liner for what each does, that is a bonus. I am looking for an educated list of what a UI/UX or relay provider would want to deploy to provide the best "signal" on the #nostr protocol in its current state. I want to have a set of good tools without a ton of redundant projects. I want to have a local implementation of infrastructure that would rival a X or facebook type offering and other clones, but all using the #nostr #protocol. I am also interested in the implementation of things like the wrekt bot, to provide good curation feeds or automated curation for users looking to discover fantastic reposts on target content, but done for improving the ecosystem and access to tailored or even other external content. Bonus question: What approach do you use to obfuscate the host IP, such as cloud flare, to protect against DDoS when serving relay services? I will also be zapping more sats your way, but I am also trying to survive on zaps earned, which I have not a lot to offer, yet. I think you also did some work on creating a relay of some sort that collects notes on specific criteria, it would be really cool if there was a way to have an open source UX that would allow these content feeds to be assigned to create tailored feeds in the UX with tabs or some mechanism to navigate them. It could use some logic to combine the data from each topic into a usable feed. It would also be good to have a dashboard of some sort that can check the health of various nostr services that are running and support for each tool can be submitted by the tool creator/plugin or some setup. nostr:note16tztsxt8x60jytrrl6304yxpd7j9su4tmgrqhr23rn2pmqzt7pwqu4ny5x

I want to join the zapping. As somewhat a creator with some tech knowledge, can someone point me to up-to-date resources to set up lightning and zaps via an Umbrel Bitcoin node please? (I know, I preferred Start9 but for now Umbrel will do) I found some stuff online of course but I trust this community more. And sorry to take advantage of this thread to ask for info.
