 Damus is slow in Shibuya… then again everything is 
 Hah! I was just thinking how fast it is compared to other clients.

I use Primal occasionally, like when I want to send a url to a note - it renders well in their webapp, and they make it easy to copy the url.  But damn, it takes like 20 seconds for my initial feed to refresh when I open Primal!

 fwiw I think YouTube is pretty incredible considering the scale and the free tier… AND I think nostr.build kicks ass 🤙

 Will remove primal, damus, nos rlays to see if spam will go away...  
 Try just Primal - I’m still using Damus relay and not seeing the spam for now

 I have only seen 5 spam posts in 3 days.

 Yeah it’s pretty bad last couple days 
 Thanks!  Disabling a couple relays seems to have helped - I thinks the @primal relay was the main source of spam.

Only have 3 relays now 🤔 
 WTF is going on over there? 🧐

 Not for me. Are you on an old gen device? 
 Weird… Damus seems to be one of the only Nostr mobile apps that is very focused on performance.

What performance issues are you seeing specifically? 
 I need a proper node that’s not a wimpy raspberry pi. 

What do we think of umbrel’s hardware... 
 Intel nuc makes a great node… doesn’t even need to be new or buffed up

 Will you be at TABConf sir?  It would be a pleasure to meet irl 
 lol I hear that.  TABConf is a special one for me 
 Does any one know how many active daily users are on Nostr?
This is more fun than twitter! 
 Daily Active Users is a scam 
 I want to hear the @yellow version of this audio 
 Oops I zapped my own post 🤙

 How would anyone see / know to look for the msg?  Maybe a dedicated relay for this purpose, but then you’re trusting that relay operator to broadcast your msg. 
 I didn’t even know there was an official clown show today until I just checked my Nostr feed 😔

Usually this is the place where ppl tune OUT the noise 
 I'm over this debate. What cool things are you working on?  
 Oof

 does your client render it like this!? 
 fyi @jb55 - when I click a notification on my highlight, it navigates to your note, the one I highlighted, not to my comment+highlight https://image.nostr.build/56ebd629902bbb95f13a54880e0bac54299283c9377b3a851acfd212718582d9.jpg

 First time I’m seeing this ‘Highlighted’ feature in Damus.  What is this sorcery?

 I wonder, why bother?

I get it… I used to go back and forth with the shitcoiners on Twitter.  But eventually that just gets old & exhausting, and I know you’ve been around at least as long as I have 😂 
 GM dear fren 
 It amuses me to no end to see Bitcoiners acting like Buttcoiners with regard to nostr.

I do wond... 
 I’ve always rejected the term “Bitcoin Maximalist” in favor of simply “Bitcoiner”.

Its semantics, but semantics do come with connotations and baggage 
 Congrats Peter, hope the new show finds a wider audience and success!

I was surely one of the reply guys dunking on you about XPubs and “two Bitcoins” a couple years ago 😂… but you have stayed true and displayed nothing but proof of work.  These days I am a frequent listener.

🤙 
 I don’t get it - the npubs look the same.  Which is the real James?? 😂 
 How many people read me on Nostr? Should I post here more often?

 Where to find any real info on his arrest? 
 The world needs more Bitcoin podcasts 
 I’m still shocked that 2024 was the year that @NVK took the spot for #1 Bitcoin podcast.  I did not have that on my bingo card
