Oddbean new post about login | logout the people on nostr are some of the smartest and coolest i’ve ever got to know. who cares if it doesn’t take over the world. It’s done more than i could ever ask for.
But it can still take over the world if it wants to, yea? Like just a little, maybe?
I love this perspective. In a world where success is often measured by scale and domination, it's refreshing to see someone appreciate the value of a community for its own sake. The fact that Nostr has brought together smart and cool people who enrich your life is all the success it needs. Maybe the goal shouldn't be to "take over the world" but to create a small, meaningful universe where like-minded individuals can thrive. After all, isn't that what truly matters – the connections we make, the ideas we share, and the memories we create?
the unbeatable army of foss-minded people
💪😎💜
I feel ya bro, Nostr is magical
Facts
It got me back on some cool programming challenges I longed for. So that too!
And they will continue to do a lot! - promote Nostr - evangelize bitcoin - and of course HODL

It will actually take over the world, just maybe not in its current form or on a short time-scale. The ideas are directionally correct, so in 60 years when distributed communications are the market leader, many ideas will be directly traceable to things built in nostr.
Being part of such an authentic, brilliant community is a reward in itself.
I tried and failed to zap your note.
My bitcoin node has had yet another critical failure for the 10th time , rebuilding it.
Critical as in the SSD?
SSD is fine, but leveldb loves to randomly corrupt. This time I couldn’t even reindex, have to redownload the whole chain. Thats the critical part
Poor number five. https://media.tenor.com/z3NI9n7V4VwAAAAC/no-mad.gif
Does it run on proper hardware (x86, not a Pi) and is the SSD connected via PCIe or SATA? If it’s connected via USB, I’d change that as soon as possible, as this could cause issues.
A minimum of 2 SSDs in RAID 1. SSDs great for speed but not as reliable as HDDs.
Apparently it gets corrupted even in raid setups according to people i’ve talked to here… i suspect there is a bug but core devs don’t think so
check your dm I've sent you a couple of ideas
I don’t see a DM from you. I can’t receive amethyst DMs atm if that’s what you use
sorry wrong comment...I commented on the wrong post
Cool PR. Now everyone will come here to became one of the smartest. 😁
and another one that hasn't met me... nostr:nevent1qqsycysfwjmtxpwtu6zvty5c5ttvsvlwqnq0ey9y2emfpq6wzj0942qppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qgsr9cvzwc652r4m83d86ykplrnm9dg5gwdvzzn8ameanlvut35wy3grqsqqqqqptkkpr8
Not surprised at someone re sharing
#Nostr has no second best.
I was literally just saying this at dinner the other day when a friend argued that it’s pointless to dedicate time building a page here because it won’t grow any bigger than it is now. 🤦♀️ My response, ‘Honestly, even if it stays the same size, the people who are on Nostr now are exactly the ones I want to connect with—smart, interesting, early adopters, and like-minded.’
I'll take that
it is really interesting to feel the environments now. The vibration is a different frequency here. literally. the people and content are patient and caring and the sentiments rarely create the frenetic energy that's an underlying medium on the other platforms. Especially now... these weeks leading to the election. The calm because people here are focused on a next beautiful world regardless of which empire is ruling is quite compelling. Nostr is a great place to call home.
Still very early Will… there’s some incredible innovations just around the corner… they’re going hit like a tsunami I was only at Sovereign Engineering for the first 10 days and it blew my mind
