 Hi Nostr nice to meet you! I'm Rod. The community around here looks awesome. I'm a startup founder, former listco CEO (ASX:JAY), an NED of Australia's greatest startup community (Fishburners). I'm passionate about free and open internet – so what better rabbit hole than Nostr? 

I hope to share some things I learn and chip in a little if I can find a way to help #nostr #bitcoin #kiwi #austrich

 Welcome aboard! Was there any one catalyst event that finally made you jump in? 
 I've been watching for a while now but two things got me over the line. The community of builders here is awesome and worth being a part of if I can figure that out. And second the fundamentals of the platform and what that means for free and open internet. If this place keeps working it's going to be so much faster and more powerful and more resilient than the current mega corporate internet. More like the internet I grew up with. I'm hopeful! 
 Welcome and kia ora fellow #austrich ! I think you'll enjoy it here. It's nice to have a place where we don't have to worry about musk or zuck nuking everything we have built up over time 😀 
 Welcome mate. I tried to zap some of your posts. Dunno what’s up but it didn’t let me. 
 Too kind, with thanks. Node seems to be up and running. If a bug, how would I diagnose? 
 Just tried to zap your profile and got invalid lightning address https://image.nostr.build/8e08d07ef319e18549cb68bc25af3adef81fdf672d34fb441ab5c0f9a4448c0c.jpg  
 Thanks for trying! I wonder what happened? I continue to get zapped by others. Maybe an intermittent bug. 
 Dunno mate. I tried again with same problem 
 Welcome! Here's a good starting place to get caught up 👇

 Hey thanks! Added to my reading list. 

I have written a series of guides for people on my experience of getting set up—mining a pubkey, self-hosting lightning, getting NIP-05 and Lightning Address at your own domain. More to come. 

Do you think any of it would be helpful for your audience?
