We’re taking back the internet from the surveillance capitalists. We’re building a new foundation of open source, privacy preserving freedom tech. You are the resistance. https://i.nostr.build/ROAZ.jpg

We are the waves, realizing that we are the Ocean. 🌊 nostr:nevent1qqsfh2ljwkvwwmvp3jwkquzc8cvkl5q34kv0f4a8tnltwjqguzxfd6cpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfdupzqvhpsfmr23gwhv795lgjc8uw0v44z3pe4sg2vlh08k0an3wx3cj9qvzqqqqqqyskalcd

Awesome that you found us! What brought you here? Well either way, welcome home 🫂 👋 You’re welcome to #followme and my following list if you are interested in #Bitcoin, #Nostr, Bitcoin merch, and random jokes and fun in between. A few of the people I follow could care less about posting Bitcoin stuff so check those out too! The more people you follow the better 👍 Another thing some people do is list down some of the things they are interested in on #introductions, then maybe you can get some suggestions on hashtags or people to follow. Can find a lot of interesting stuff that way. Start creating a good Web of Trust! This is a great source to get you started if you have questions about parts of the Nostr process. If you are not a fan, DON’T GIVE UP. At least try a different Client first. What client/clients are you currently using? Some popular ones I see that people use a lot are Amethyst, Damus, Primal, and Nostur. It’s important to try and keep this alive and moving forward. Join us! https://nostr.how/en/what-is-nostr Once you do have a good handle on Nostr in general, this youtube vid will show you how to set up that lightning feature for payments if you are running Damus. The same thing applies to other lightning wallets as well if you don’t have or want or have access to Wallet of Satoshi https://youtu.be/SKKZIrGYkF0 I also think this is an amazing source of info to look around in general. 👇 He’s currently updating it now and its all such valuable info! Have fun! https://intuitiveguy.bevstr.com

It is a "copyleft" software license. So basically its a copyright that states you can freely distribute and modify the software, but under the restriction that any modifications also be open source and published under a GPL license So really cool example of this license working, is the Linux kernel is under the GPL so when steam wanted an OS (steamOS which is actually based on Debian) they got the benefit of not having to build an OS from scratch, but under the restriction that their OS had to be open source (at least the kernel anyway) https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steamos_kernel?tab=License-1-ov-file You can learn more from the free software foundation: https://www.fsf.org/ Or look up Richard Stallman and listen to his reasoning for creating the GPL
