I created a note 😔 

 Big if true. 

 Huge. Huge note.

 Then talk about your failures in detail. A nice post mortem is zap worthy. 

 The CEO has spoken;

 Building alone doesn't get you zaps.

If you are a socially awkward introvert who has an issue with sharing anything on social media, you won't get zaps no matter how good you are at building whatever you are building.

On the other hand, if you are a big extrovert and get the feel of the community, you get tons of zaps for shitposting alone. 

 I don't mean building or creating in the traditional sense. I mean build your community, stack, family, content, anything. And then talk about what you built. Creating anything goes very far on Nostr. Most people here understand value for value and appreciate Proof of Work. 

 Also, say GM. 

 I believe this is part of the Derek Algorithm, yes. 

 On nostr, I'm a chef, a photographer, an artist, a memer, an educator, a product tester, a gardener, a philosopher, a comedian, a dev, and a part-time therapist (thanks nostr:nprofile1qqs9c5yvxn6csehvwdq64ugvcxh496fr9wulskwgzq72tm8j42fm77qprfmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuer9vdjkuar0deujucm0d5hszenhwden5te0ve5kcar9wghxummnw3ezuamfdejj7mnsw43rzapnvankxepcxsehqmnhvd6nvup5w33hxetnvscryap4dfuryct9d3c8vatn09c82dtgdvcrjv34de5xzat3df4xcdt8xslkyun0v9jxxctnws7hgun4v5q3jamnwvaz7tms09exzmtfvshxv6tpw34xze3wvdhk6f4agk3 😂)

I've been generously zapped for all those things... but really I just do stuff & talk to people.  

 i think that is the key, Dawn. engagement. full stop.

 Do stuff and love what you do 🤘🏼 

 Welcome! Here's a good starting place to get caught up 👇
nostr:nevent1qqsdhmu9sazj5u5p87s5j0pc20u7rthqxqhjclhsmxsk8f9645mfvwcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzvuhsygqqrzm7uvlmy5uyxcuuvt3f9lk8qznf4yas3m3hf3da49cunvu4vspsgqqqqqqsz30ecd 

 Do you have to KYC and set up a wallet though? 

 No.. which app & device are you using?  

 Primal, iphone 

 Ah, I'm am android person. I think you can use their wallet with burner credentials but I'm not 100% sure. nostr:nprofile1qqsr7acdvhf6we9fch94qwhpy0nza36e3tgrtkpku25ppuu80f69kfqpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7x08grv would definitely know better than me on that one. 😊 

 Thanks! 

 Primal is, IMO, trash. I can't help you much since you're an iSlave. (I'm sort of joking. A de-googled android phone is the best option these days if you care about any sort of privacy online, but, you do have to do a bunch of work to make that happen.) 

You can use a bunch of lightning wallets without KYC. You'll have to earn sats or transfer sats to that wallet to start zapping. Primal muddles this tremendously.  

 Primal uses Strike's backend and that makes to KYC to use the built in wallet, but no other solution is point and click easy for sending and receiving Zaps. Cashu wallets are medium acceptable here, I guess, if you use Zeus or Phoenix as your wallet and constantly loop out to Lightning. 

 Setup a company outside the US and backend WoS. 

🤷‍♂️

I think some nostr devs need to:
A. Stop suckling on the teet of people who don't really care about the same things as most plebs.
B. Stop using janky libraries. 
C. Grow some balls and build systems so robust that they can't be taken down.

All of this is just fiat-minded BS that really needs to stop. It's actively hindering building the foundation that nostr needs to not only scale but to literally replace the current internet. (And I'm betting it can, and will.) 

Playing KYC patty-cake and relying on JS turdly libraries is typical pump and dump VC BS. That needs to stop. 

The stupid, egotistical, adolescent "we're number one" mindset is coming home to roost. 

Primal is trash and dangerous. IDGAF what's supposedly coming. Having the lead say "we'll get to that tomorrow" is maddening and shows how little GAF that team has for anyone but their big bags VC money pumpers. 

I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, and even I can see these issues as plain as day. I also have so little invested that it's really easy for me to call out the BS when I see it. Primal harshes my mellow, man.  

 P.S.
Derek, the previous reply was NOT directed at you. I'm just tired and grumpy at other things and I let it get the best of me.  

 Here is corn man to make you happy 🫂 https://nostrcheck.me/media/3f770d65d3a764a9c5cb503ae123e62ec7598ad035d836e2a810f3877a745b24/313de05fefbc23390836378e99798d8f3694da98dc87f5e7c44437ee4510cb25.webp 

 What about ZBD and Fountain? 

 Is there away to connect ZBD to Primal? 

 Which app do you prefer? 

 I use amethyst, which mostly works most of the time.  

 Thanks for the input! Lots to research… 

 Still learning! I meant for that to go to @Derek Ross 

 You can give Primal's wallet bogus information. It 100% works with it. There is not a guarantee that it will work forever though using bogus information. 

 Truth :D 

 Or just agree with the devs and get free sats from them. 

 This is a complete guide. 
Not a comprehensive one. 

But basically yes. 
All you need to do is build or create something **OF VALUE**.

Dog shit on nostr is still dog shit.
