Might help to appreciate that Bitcoiners in 2009-2012 probably felt something similar and that early Nostr adopters, like early Bitcoiners are accumulating real and unconfiscatible capital, social this time round.

100% this - nostr:nprofile1qqsrmhh22fcqncju3rf5yyhhex4rvdz0hm4a9d56qnh80l7rcrhhxugpr9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuun4vf3x2unydakxctnrvvqs6amnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dsq3yamnwvaz7tmsw4e8qmr9wpskwtn9wv4tz7j4 you're sharing good content, let people say thanks, get a Ln address up there - also you'd reach more people using hashtags imo.

Alright, this is my dilemma too. But I don't want to figure anything out. I'm lazy and I like me that way. Is there a simple way to get an address? I get hung up on the part where I have to read stuff.

If you are not in the USA, the easiest and cheapest is wallet of Satoshi. Add your LN address (looks like an email address) to your profile. **Disclaimer** Wallet of Satoshi is a custodial wallet so don't leave any amount you care about in it because it can be taken by them at any time.

oh? I felt this a month ago. What the tribe here on #nostr shared is to engage with other people's notes that attracts you. This is how you find people. Yes, it will take a lil adjustment because depending on the clients, u r the algorithm so u need to make an effort to find contents that piqued your interests! We are excited to have you around!

nostr:nprofile1qqsrrxknu7gxxnd7smc5mwwzn9djdm3uvg5tu40cn3x8l656esqa2zsprpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuendwsh8w6t69e3xj73024zler has a recipe database / Nostr app at zap.cooking .. if you post your recipes there it will be automatically added to your Nostr profile. It's a great way to build your recipe collection. I uploaded a basic hollandaise sauce recipe yesterday if you want to look at an example. Search hollandaise in the zap cooking search bar, you might see it on the front page as well. Then add the hashtag #foodstr and #zapcooking to any food photos or tips or ideas you note about! We would love to see your food creations! What's your favorite thing to make?

ohhh I am on THE WAY hahaha. Sound fab, definitely checking your food out! I love to cook Jamaican and Asian inspired dishes but I cook everything. I like great food. Co authoring a second cookbook this winter. How about you? What do you cook??

Aw yes, Jamaican and Asian! Let's go! I look forward to this!!! You wrote a cookbook and have another one coming, that is super cool!! I would love to talk more with you about this!!! Maybe interview you for Zap Cooking? I am a food lover, I am more of a gatherer of recipes, I am an okay cook, I do a lot of basic stuff, or easy recipes for lazy people. I have worked around the restaurant industry for many years, and I think it is fascinating.

Whoo hoo! So excited to have found you! Yes I did and yep the new one drops next year and will be available as a hardback and digital on Amazon. Of course, we can talk more. DM. Ooh an interview on Zap Cooking sound fab, I'm in! Basic, simple food is the best! My mum has been a pro chef over 40 years so I totally get the keeping it simple when en casa. Look forward to talking more with you and seeing your recipe library 😀

More an engagement issue. Do you like, zap, comment on others’ posts a lot? Also it can be useful to use hashtags. Notice you only follow 264 people, would be a good idea to vastly increase that, then can mute/unfollow later if you are annoyed or bored by some accounts. It’s like real life here, moment to moment. Engagement happens when you’re actively engaging, like when you go out and visit people. If you stay home and are quiet, there’s little to no engagement. Hope that helps! Followed you, look forward to engaging :)

@Coinos or @MinibitsCash are my current top recommendations. You get a lightning address and they handle all the backend work. They are custodial, but you can easily move the funds to a wallet or address you control. There are trade off for everything.

Oof yea channel management is tricky. I've been meaning to try an Alby Hub + phoenixd combo to get around this. I think nostr:nprofile1qqsrxra3gv0lnkxz2pcxh0xuq9k4f9dr7azwq3aypqtnay4w0mjzmtqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqzrthwden5te0dehhxtnvdakqz8thwden5te0dehhxarj94c82c3wwajkcmr0wfjx2u3wdejhghqs4nu and they have been trying to get folks to help package this for umbrel/start9 etc and Raspiblitz may already have it (cc nostr:nprofile1qqs24sraj5yfee4d7z9ez4k58sdy4dv5ccfsklwtztkpnyqgckqe5tcpyfmhxue69uhk6atvw35hqmr90pjhytngw4eh5mmwv4nhjtnhdaexcep0qyw8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytngw4eh5mmwv4nhjtnhdaexcep04cexmf?)

Also, what about cashu options like nostr:nprofile1qqstxwlea9ah3u6kjjszu6a7lrnhqkfh8eptp2z6v0e9558tlkkl2rgpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcpremhxue69uhkummnw3ez6ur4vgh8wetvd3hhyer9wghxuet59u4kl3vp? They're not self-custodial, but there's pretty good privacy guarantees for small amounts, and you can sweeping to self-custody once your balance gets to a certain level

Alby Hub is not yet on the Raspiblitz, just doing the basic research: https://github.com/raspiblitz/raspiblitz/issues/4727. Going through the docs it seems the best self-hosted option is to deploy on a VPS with a public IP address readily available: https://github.com/getAlby/hub/tree/master/scripts/linux-x86_64 The other option is using an instance of LNbits with the upcoming NWCprovider extension: https://github.com/riccardobl/nwcprovider Soon to be in a new LNbits release: https://github.com/lnbits/nostrrelay/issues/13. There can also use phoenixd and Blink @blinkbtc as well as the funding source.

Interesting, as I think, this post made many feedback, isnt it? Btw, I saw your post between HODL and Derek Ross. As I am quite new at nostr your post was the first one shown from a lesser followed👍🏻 Do you see improvement?

I feel the same, but I know it’s a problem caused by my own behaviour. I’m used to lurking, liking, and infrequently commenting. I’m still getting my head around ENGAGING, and establishing rapport / relationships. It’s not easy changing a deeply embedded mindset that was previously conditioned by X.

I've been posting on and off on nostr for quite some time and have 500 followers, many of whom like the content I post on X but not the same content when posted here. I think it's the lack of algorithms which means you either see content which already has lots of views (if sorting by popular) or content which has just been posted (if sorting by recent posts).

I can't zap you because you haven't enabled a wallet yet ⚡⚡⚡ lnbc17520n1pndsl2qpp59xruq6aqxlpkvppu6m7tc07mkl3xss57m3zjqze4ggyptka8xggqdp82pshjgr5dusyymrfde4jq4mpd3kx2apq24ek2uscqzpuxqyz5vqsp57se65lc66mdncssv02q2dneu8lj0egc85de3tjss4ggvf7npkqnq9qxpqysgq3v5lc5j9thh4urc4rjq0ywhj0h9ganwq25lamy5hdhytaqugycmpdtd4p2ysj33uw5ma05yld457eq4fe9807w5zhww65y3xjpyw0qcq3xnsf3

The void shouted back 🌍 ... here's what it said ⚡ I SHOULD ENABLE LIGHTNING One overwhelming response was I need to enable lightning. I did have a self custodial LN setup with zaps once, but my channel partners closed on me and I haven't found new peers. I'm not using a custodial solution so my options are probably to find someone willing to peer and/or use an LSP. 👥 I AM THE ALGORITHM Many people told me that I am the algorithm and that if I want to been seen I need to be very active interacting with people such that they interact back. My humble opinion is that this is not actually addressing the issue. Primal is great, and like most nostr clients I have used it has a few feed options ("algorithms"). - Latest - Latest with replies - Trending 24H - Most Zapped - Nostr Highlights - Hashtags This means that 5 of the 6 options are either content which already has lots of engagement or content which has just been posted. I think what's missing is a more sophisticated algorithm which takes into account how many posts someone has made. If you follow bob and alice and bob makes 100 posts a day and alice makes 1, you probably don't want to use any of the existing algorithms, you probably want to see that 1 post by alice, even if it doesn't have any engagement yet, you follow her for a reason (presumably) nostr:note18z3z5dq6f5ttd5a4vfzwm94cefladwq759hqfg773tr2q9xhxwys4utryq
