This is the best in-depth dive in to how bluesky works from a code / infrastructure perspective that I’ve seen. I think anybody trying to understand and build Nostr should take a look.  In a ton of ways atproto and nostr are siblings in how they work. It’s all the same stuff but slightly tweaked and in different proportions.

We have relays, they have relays. Their events are defined by signatures of the event and so our ours. They’ve got some differences, Nostr does casual ordering by timestamp whereas they’ve got a kind of merkel tree as part of the event. Their clients talk to a PDS server which holds keys similar to nsec bunker, but it also acts as a personal relay, which we have but not everybody uses. Our labelers are any nostr user or bot, whereas theirs a specific cloud service middleware. We’ve got DVM’s and other middleware which can generate custom feeds, but it’s not needed, clients can do their own thing or decide sorting. Whereas custom feeds in atproto are more core and extensible.

They plan to add payments and a DVM type service, but haven’t gotten to that yet, where as we have zaps already.

Because of the way bluesky has control over who can connect to their relay and submit data to their servers, users on the main bluesky network have to receive their content with their moderate bot labels via both AI and the Ozone app.

Bluesky supports arbitrary datastructures and lots of kinds of apps beyond the twitter like microblogging, but as far as I know nobody’s built one. Where as Nostr has tons of weird interesting apps.

I started the day talking about privacy at a school parent meeting and, unlike other years, both the school and the parents were more receptive. There is a change, especially among younger parents.


This sets a very, very bad precedent.

Hey did you know most relays don’t support the nip-50 search which means that search isn’t working well on Nostr? We need to make search better and perhaps help users make sure they’re connected to at least some search supported relays. Otherwise nostr feels broken and empty.

I think this is because strfry is so good at most relay tasks it has come to dominate, but it doesn’t do search. That’s not what it’s optimized for.

Sorry, I hadn't seen your message. I have read, for years, most of Gabriel García Márquez; a bit of Roberto Bolaño; the same by Mario Vargas Llosa and several stories by Julio Ramón Ribeyro. Regarding the 'new' authors, only Mariana Enríquez and Samantha Schweblim. My recommendations will depend on your tastes. Personally, GGM is my favorite. Bolaño and Ribeyro are extraordinary narrators although I am not a big fan because I find them somewhat pessimistic. Regarding the female authors I mentioned, both are very good in their genres, although my favorite is Schweblin (also Fever Dream). https://image.nostr.build/e418c4d6e07fac62b206fcf03552d155e033bd5d18b62f99f088fa94d52ae497.jpg


It is breathtaking how much Bitcoin attracts the best people.

Most of my life, most of my friends were books. It could have taken me a decade or two to know the wonderful people that I know now, but because of the pull of Bitcoin (and Nostr), I hardly had to try.

When you see the same north star as other people, all the barriers of distrust that you would otherwise be carrying melt away. There is, of course, a whole universe in every one of us, and yet, the minute that you meet another Bitcoiner, you know some important things about them already: they, too, have been doing their part in the same battle to freedom, because, like you, they have a newfound hope that the world can be much, much better.

Grateful for all of you, you world-changing masses of courage, passion and hope. ✨🧡


Elections are a legitimizing function for political power. That is the role they play. Approaching electoral choices like a purity test and one of cosmic significance to your character, is downstream of some very impoverished understandings of both democracy and society itself.

Ultimately, we have to confront the pragmatic reality that we are ultimately navigating a hierarchy of good. If you resist this notion, you’re actually participating in a fairly dangerous game of reducing the umbrella of interests the political economy will be responsive to, to the most craven — if for no other reason than smaller polities are easier to capture.

For me, character is just as important as policy in thinking about these things, because the question I ask myself about who I want having power, is not one merely about “what policies does this person support?” — but a more subtle one: “who would I feel more comfortable disagreeing with, knowing the conversation can continue, and that our current policy commitments remain, in perpetuity, provisional?”


“Wonder, and its expression in poetry and the arts, are among the most important things which seem to distinguish men from other animals, and intelligent and sensitive people from morons.”

Love at First Sight

They’re both convinced
that a sudden passion joined them.
Such certainty is beautiful,
but uncertainty is more beautiful still.

Since they’d never met before, they’re sure
that there’d been nothing between them.
But what’s the word from the streets, staircases, hallways—
perhaps they’ve passed by each other a million times?

I want to ask them
if they don’t remember—
a moment face to face
in some revolving door?
perhaps a “sorry” muttered in a crowd?
a curt “wrong number” caught in the receiver?—
but I know the answer.
No, they don’t remember.

They’d be amazed to hear
that Chance has been toying with them
now for years.

Not quite ready yet
to become their Destiny,
it pushed them close, drove them apart,
it barred their path,
stifling a laugh,
and then leaped aside.

There were signs and signals,
even if they couldn’t read them yet.
Perhaps three years ago
or just last Tuesday
a certain leaf fluttered
from one shoulder to another?
Something was dropped and then picked up.
Who knows, maybe the ball that vanished
into childhood’s thicket?

There were doorknobs and doorbells
where one touch had covered another
beforehand.
Suitcases checked and standing side by side.
One night, perhaps, the same dream,
grown hazy by morning.

Every beginning
is only a sequel, after all,
and the book of events
is always open halfway through.

— Wislawa Szymborska, Collected and Last Poems.

“Love. My way of tearing apart the dark side, of making room for light, for hope. That's all.”


It is attributed to Isaac Asimov, but apparently it was said by Alan Alda.


“I don’t think anybody ever knows what another person means when they speak, frankly. It’s more than translation, it’s just throwing yourself into the dark. Language is so very, very personal, private. Weird. I guess you could think of it as translation, that seems like a kind of euphemistic metaphor. It’s probably a lot more hopeless than that. But the effort of speaking as a human is the effort to get past that hopelessness with every sentence.”

A campaign against #NPR's new CEO, ex-#Wikimedia Foundation Katherine Maher, is trying to portray her as "anti-truth" and "anti-First Amendment" by taking quotes out of context from her past talks about Wikimedia. As a longtime Wikipedian, I think I can give a little more context about these statements — but I recognize that the people behind this campaign are, ironically, not looking for the facts.

Block 840000 had over 37 BTC in fees with a block subsidy of only 3.125 BTC.

The minimum fee was a tiny 100 sat/vByte, the highest bid fee was 3.6M sats/vByte. This transaction alone paid 6.73 BTC in fees. An unnecessary waste of a lot of money.

“It is a form of vicarious experience, of emotional knowledge, of expression and communication that also has something essential: beauty. Baudelaire wrote a beautiful sonnet to carrion. But these characteristics are also of prose. The difference is that poetry dispenses with all accessories, it has a great capacity for synthesis. Its effectiveness consists in its brevity, in the emotional impact, and also in the subtlety of the moods that inspire it and that it reflects, like a mirror.”

— Cristina Peri Rossi, What is poetry for?

Read just the first chapter of John Stuart Mill's "On Liberty" (free via Project Gutenberg etc) and tell me that he didn't have his finger precisely on the pulse — in the 1850s — of the root cause of the authoritarian war for majoritarian supremacy that we're witnessing today. Censorship, the compelled worship of an ever-shifting orthodoxy, the construction and desecration of idols before the temple of consensus— it's all the same thing, arising from the same source, and awaiting a similar solution. In times of trouble, we should look more to our history.

Read your Mill, brothers.

That list also includes some designers, relay operators and a few key support people. If you feel I'm missing someone, please let me know.

How it works:

I created a list on listr (thanks  nostr:npub1zuuajd7u3sx8xu92yav9jwxpr839cs0kc3q6t56vd5u9q033xmhsk6c2uc!) and used it to create a prism, then pass the note to zapper.

One tiny tweak I think we could have there if we get lucky, is to have an option to disable tagging everyone on the prism list. Perhaps it can be toggled off in the prism creation flow?

Anyway, zap away!

Good morning Ewelina! 🌻💜🫂

all nostr clients become relays


Good morning 🌻


Really? I didn’t know dogs can drink beer 😂


Looks like I was able to get this working again, sort of. It says I'm connected to 9-11 relays, but only shows that I have 100 followers (and even Jack only about 40, so it has to be a data gap), and very few notes on timelines (with obvious gaps even for hugely active accounts). Relay.damus.io never seems to pass me any data (0kb both up and down) to me, which j assume is due to my connection coming via Tor, but honestly I don't know. I'm connecting using Amethyst, if anybody sees this and has any ideas—what's the best, biggest relay for Tor users right now?

Secondly, and most importantly for anyone who sees this note, please make some noise to try and stop the passage of RISAA (the FISA 702 reauthorization) that's about to hit law as soon as this Friday. Please read about it and push it out on all of your socials, if you agree it's a problem. It's going to be hard to stop this thing, even with all hands.

Whoever sees this, thank you for hearing me. https://image.nostr.build/b5731965f417b631e9ea74c27ce4d5f9bb91f9e2a96fefb1547146266ab89fb5.jpg

Should be. In general, the letters. Take the time to understand and respond. Just imagining it gives me enjoyment.


“If you don’t have integrity of facts, you cannot have integrity of elections,” said Maria Ressa, Nobel Laureate CEO of Rappler and founding member of the Real Facebook Oversight Board. “This is a critical moment to redesign your surveillance-for-profit model that has been hijacked by authoritarians around the world. Protect our public-information ecosystem by returning agency back to voters around the world during this crucial year.”

Zaps are the near-term killer feature. Openness is the long-term killer feature.

Let’s not talk about zaps in the past tense. They are absolutely the killer feature that makes everyone’s eyes light up. We need to double down on that. Lightning can scale globally through a combination of custodians and self-custody, which is fine. We are totally in the process of winning here, let’s lean into it.

Creating a better public square, powered by zaps, is the correct opening move. An ecosystem of apps built on the same open network will seal the deal. Nostr will replace the legacy web. Agreed, censorship resistance is important, but it alone won’t bring in the masses. But using the same identity and social connections in an ecosystem of beautifully executed apps that work well together? Everyone will dig that. That’s Nostr’s checkmate move.

IMHO we have a lot of work to do, but everything is moving in the right direction.


Do you also have problems seeing the zaps you receive? I ask because I realized that some do not register in the app and if it weren't for the fact that I received an email about some, I wouldn't know. I would also like to know because I almost always send them privately.


Thank you! Hope you have an abundantly productive week too! 😉💜🫂✌

Deja vu


This a really good post from Jack.

Part of the answer might just be time. The tech is real, people are building on it, and it takes time for people to be burned by permissioned systems to discover permissionless ones now that they exist.

I do think that bitcoin wallet + social graph is a big combo in the long run. The fact that you can just look up and pay anyone you know without that person taking action to tell you their payment details, especially in an open source and international environment, is a pretty big deal. Not just zaps as tips on posts, but zaps for Nostr marketplaces or for saying “pay me on Nostr” for products/services unrelated to Nostr per se.

And for the social network part, I just like the fact that Nostr is permissionless and open. Twitter has a huge network effect and I have plenty of friends/connections there, so I still post there a lot and use it for research as well. That is irreplaceable until it is not. But Nostr feels different. The tech feels right, the group that adopts that tech early feels right, and so to me it feels right to post things here that I would not otherwise post to 675k Twitter followers. Less filtered, for better or worse.

I used to be involved with individual small forums back before widespread social media was a thing, and was an administrator for one to help run it, and that type of smaller community was valuable. In fact, I inadvertently met my now-husband there 13 years ago, who was also an administrator. The forum had fewer than 50,000 people, with only a few thousand active at any time, but in context that is the size of a significant town.

But while Nostr still has the “feel” of a smaller forum now, its open source and permissionless nature gives it enormous expansion opportunity. While programmers do their best to build new features and capabilities, I try to seed this current smaller version of Nostr with unique content that doesn’t feel right to post in a larger centralized setting but feels more right for a smaller decentralized community of adventurers.

Because I want permissionless and open source tech to win. nostr:note19aldr26lyw2lqatcgqscyt3kpq76hcpwtwmglypvqqgx3m27fsaswa8rr6

My once a week


The fifth is in the Uros, Titikaka Lake, Peru


A few facts about Primal:

- We have 4 devs: 1 iOS, 1 android, 1 web, 1 backend
- We open source everything we build under the MIT license
- We’ve raised a small seed round from mission-aligned investors
- We optimize our UX for onboarding new users to nostr and bitcoin
- We’ve always been friendly and supportive of other nostr projects
- We will continue building and shipping; that’s a promise

Our goal is to build a profitable business that serves nostr users and no-one else. We expect that to be a long process, spanning many years. We are here and ready to grind.

Anyhow, GM. ☀

Could it be as simple as people here are not the product and have control over their online engagement?


nostr is still mainly used alongside twitter. in the best rare case, as a replacement. and only because people are running away from something about twitter they don't like.

there is nothing that people want to run to nostr for yet. zaps were promising, but bitcoin is still a hurdle (one that primal is doing the best at overcoming), and it's doubtful lightning could scale to a massive adoption moment.

nostr needs a feature or experience that's unique and sets it apart. i *think* that is the ecosystem of microapps over the long term...but it's definitely not in the short term. and that might be ok.

for twitter the initial draw was the simplicity and weirdness of 140 characters (we started with zero network effect, facebook had it all...that's built over time). later it became the conversation which lead to the "public square" (owned by a private corporation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). and then as it grew, it had a single point of control/failure people could attack.

nostr doesn't have to worry about that last bit. it's an incredible feature. but not one the average person cares about (no matter how much they yell "FREE SPEECH!"...if people actually cared about free speech, bitcoin and nostr would be all they used...they don't).

all this to say, we're not doomed. but what we think is the killer feature isn't right now. who's going to discover the one that is?

Thanks for the distraction.


Yes, quite vivid


Yes, I have a struggle with the theme between my moral beliefs and the terrible reality what I learned in my research.


For a long time I was against abortion. After researching for a while and learning more about the reality for most women here, I realized that it's more than just a binary response issue. It is a systemic problem and, consequently, requires an equivalent response. Sadly there are no resources for that here, much less a state policy.


Not law, right*


From my point of view, I believe that no woman would want to have an abortion unless she is in extreme conditions. For the same reason, I do not consider it a right. I believe that discourse in terms of law does not serve the main cause.


The above without mentioning that most of them are pregnancies in extreme conditions.


Perhaps because I am Latin American, I do not consider it a right but a necessity in terms of health and safety for women. In general, in Latin America, women without resources are the most affected and die when resorting to precarious and or illegal health services.


Are you kidding? Do these types of parties exist in Japan?

Why do I want to be happy if I'm not right? Why do I want to be right if I'm not happy?


An open letter to all #nostriches on the future of the nostr protocol and freedom tech with the intent to start a discussion that will benefit all.

I will start off with what may be considered either a very bold or a very boring statement: The biggest fight for freedom in the near future is going to be how to fund freedom tech. This open letter is not going to point out the obvious flaws in our current electronics hardware production model. I am wanting to focus on the adoption, growth, and sustainment of mostly the software layer of permission-less systems that grant individuals sovereign control of their own data, securing both their stored value and their privacy (if they so choose).

A majority of users of the internet are living in a very heavily subsidized market and those subsidies have so distorted the market that literal billions of people have no real idea how much it should cost to nearly instantly send and receive data from any point in the world to another. One exception to this, and it us only a partial exception, are those with a pay-as-you-go plan for data. They are more aware of costs, but, with hardwired data (which wifi is connected to) or even direct satellite connections without data caps becoming more and more ubiquitous, the tendency is for data costs to continue to drop, but, they will never not be zero. Much of these costs are covered by governments, through either taxation, bonds, or money printing and also by big tech companies that are funding the massive power and hardware infrastructure necessary to run the internet in the original command and control model that was specified. These costs are obfuscated by several layers of abstraction which are vital for people to understand before they can fully embrace freedom tech. The abstractions from the costs of running the internet have created a huge market distortion. Subsidization and centralization are the key elements causing most to never think much about the costs, much like a black hole distorts space so severely that no light can escape once it passes the event horizon.  This ignorance of the costs is likely intentional, and it is very hard for most people to break free from that way of thinking. This distortion, that of thinking that goods and services should be "free" is at the root of many other insidious societal issues we all face. It must be challenged and subsumed by the truth. (And we can and should debate what that is, in this case!)

If we, as the intrepid users of what could very well be the freest of all freedom tech, do not actively and intentionally engage in building a real market for these services, the distortion of the centralized, concentrated players will doom most efforts to build systems that respect freedom and privacy before they can come to fruition. This is the biggest issue I see with the whole of the nostr protocol if it is to be a growing, thriving place for all notes and other stuff to be transmitted by relays.

To the devs:
Whining about costs to people who have no idea what the costs actually are makes you look like a raving lunatic talking about how your frog-slime capture system is really better than the fish-slime capture system. Another mistake is beating them about the head for "not knowing" about basic economic principles and just how distorted the internet we are all using is. Most people don't have a clue and many of them will also not care that the internet sucks and they are being sold. Build better products and services that are desirable, and take the time to explain up front that this cannot and should not be "free" of cost. Yes, it takes a lot of effort, but explaining the practical applications of value for value will only make those that adopt to the new systems, products,  and services more savvy and better customers in the long run.

To all the users of the nostr protocol:
It would behoove you to learn that you are living in a market bubble that will eventually burst, and if you wish to have not a crappy fall-back but a front row seat to the future of open, permission-less freedom tech, you had better learn to budget for services rendered at a fair market rate. Learn to provide value for others and receive value on return, and if you do that, the cost of using the nostr protocol will most likely be covered by that alone.

I'd very much like to hear your take on these thoughts, as I am always concerned with founding principles and strong foundations. I don't see that often enough in the context of onboarding new #nostriches. Not educating them in these things is a mistake, as the sticker shock of what these kinds of services should actually cost when one is not being exploited by an evil corporation that is actively attempting to addict you to their products to turn your time and attention into something they can sell will absolutely turn people away, thus sowing the seeds of failure that will eventually choke the life out of this wild and wonderful place.

We're excited to announce a new initiative to get creators and journalists on to Nostr. This is a project organized by nos.social with   nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg,  nostr:npub1w0rthyjyp2f5gful0gm2500pwyxfrx93a85289xdz0sd6hyef33sh2cu4x,  nostr:npub13myx4j0pp9uenpjjq68wdvqzywuwxfj64welu28mdvaku222mjtqzqv3qk,  nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955, and  nostr:npub1yzvxlwp7wawed5vgefwfmugvumtp8c8t0etk3g8sky4n0ndvyxesnxrf8q. The goal is to get a diversity of content on to nostr and show those creators and journalists that the nostr model of zaps and the new subscription content over nostr is a better alternative to centralized advertising driven platforms. #value4value

Please share this with creators and journalists you know who are already on Nostr and also those who might want to join. This will include both getting these folks on to the nostr apps which make sense for them, setting them up with a wallet, teaching them how to be successful on nostr, and importantly promoting them through a bunch of channels on nostr so they can build and audience.

We don't have the deep pockets of meta and tiktok, nor their powerful AI driven algorithms, but we've got something that can be more powerful, people.

Creators and Journalists know they're stuck sharecropping on centralized platforms that can demonetize or delete or just shadow ban their accounts. One day their content gets broadcast to the world, the next the algorithm doesn't even show it to their followers. Their revenue is dependent on getting a cut from an opaque and arbitrary advertising system.

So, share these links, if you're a creator or journalist sign up, and when we start promoting these folks on nostr, check out what they're doing and if you like it, send them zaps. This is open to both existing nostr creators and journalists and new ones we'll onboard.

Her Kind

I have gone out, a possessed witch,
haunting the black air, braver at night;
dreaming evil, I have done my hitch
over the plain houses, light by light:
lonely thing, twelve-fingered, out of mind.
A woman like that is not a woman, quite.
I have been her kind.

I have found the warm caves in the woods,
filled them with skillets, carvings, shelves,
closets, silks, innumerable goods;
fixed the suppers for the worms and the elves:
whining, rearranging the disaligned.
A woman like that is misunderstood.
I have been her kind.

I have ridden in your cart, driver,
waved my nude arms at villages going by,
learning the last bright routes, survivor
where your flames still bite my thigh
and my ribs crack where your wheels wind.
A woman like that is not ashamed to die.
I have been her kind.

—Anne Sexton

For?


The responsibility is there, with or without other civilisations 💜


Shouldn't we always do what is best for ourselves and for the community to which we belong? Isn't that what makes us more human?

At some point, it’s not funny anymore


I'd like to point out to #nostur and #openvibe
(I forgot the people behind and will be glad if someone could tag them)
that my timeline is swamped in conversation of over 200 people #hellthread last two days and I cannot effectively mute or otherwise avoid it. I tried to mute the thread many times now.
I can't get to other posts or replies to my own shit without excessive scrolling and reading tons of unnecessary notes without context.
It was funny first few hours, but is turning into very effective way of driving me off nostr.
I expect hellthreads to become a hit soon and don't think it's only my problem.
Since I'm switching from ios to android soon after halving, the next client capable of switching spam off will be the one I'll use and happily zap.
Also sorry to anyone who wrote me and I missed it.


Maybe. If I have learned anything in the last couple of years, it is that to overcome what scares you, you must try to look for the origin and, even when you don't find it, face what scares you.


Have you thought about why?


Goodnigth ✨💜🫂

Like your grandfather, I love to know how things work. Great note! 💜🫂🧡


Not copper. Red.

I believe that Bitcoiners have a special relationship with the concept we refer to as "truth."

I'm not saying that we are more honest than others.

But we appreciate more than most others being able to verify the correctness of something.

For instance, we like the fact that everyone can verify the software code as well as each and every transaction.

Nothing is hidden.

Everything is in the open.

We value that we don't have to trust someone who says that "Everything is A-OK."

It's possible for everyone to check things out, without having to ask anyone for permission.

I have had the same fascination with the concept of truth as long as I can remember.

Like my father, I have also always been curious about how things work.

He had an amazing talent for understanding technologies.

My grandmother once told me a wonderful story from when he was a kid.

I think he was 12-13 years old.

He sat by the kitchen table and picked apart a mechanical sleep alarm clock, while he carefully studied how the pieces functioned together.

After he had taken it all apart, he patiently reassembled it.

It must have been very satisfactory for him to wind it up and hear the ticking.

The final test was the alarm bell.

"Ring ring ring!"

It worked perfectly.

My father had verified the truth about how the alarm clock worked.

In the 1980s he became a computer engineer.

I remember him sitting for hours in front of his PC, and how he used to fill up all empty spaces in the basement and his home office with all kinds of computer hardware.

He passed away much too early due to cancer in 2011.

Although I didn't inherit my father's understanding of  technology, I got the same passion for diving deep into things, into the very core, and for understanding how things worked.

Social subjects and books have been two of my main interests, which is something I have from my mother.

She has always questioned things, and I'm exactly the same.

I discovered at a very young age how important it is to accept the truth.

I went to kindergarten from I was about two or thee years old.

When I was four, I was moved out of the unit with the small kids and to the unit with the big kids.

Some of the older kids started bullying me.

They shouted:

“Rune has red hair, Rune has red hair.”

The people who worked there were unable to help me.

So, I found myself in a hopeless, prison-like situation.

I complained to my mother, and told her that I wouldn’t go there anymore.

She tried to comfort me, and said:

“It isn’t true what those kids say. You don't have red hair, it's copper brown, and it's beautiful."

The only problem was, this couldn't solve a damn thing with the bullying.

And of course, it didn't.

The day after, I went to the kindergarten as usual, and the bullies pushed on.

It's quite possible that I tried to yell back at them:

"It's not red, it's copper brown!"

If I did, it probably just made things worse, because it would be a confirmation to them that their bullying had the intended effect on me.

However, something must have clicked inside me that day.

When I came home, I met my mother in the entrance.

I ripped the beanie off my head, and shouted angrily to her:

“No, mama, look at this! It’s true - my hair is red - just see for yourself!"

When I came back to the kindergarten the next day, I had accepted my faith.

They had blond, brown or black hair.

My hair was red.

These were facts, nothing more.

They noticed that I suddenly was OK with it.

And then they lost all interest in bullying me.

Accepting the truth had made me impervious to their insults.

My mother told me this story many times, when I was a child, and also after I became a grown-up man.

She says she's convinced that it was a life-changing experience for me, and that it would shape my personality.

Looking back, I think I realized that ignoring the truth comes at a significant cost.

And just as important, I think the episode taught me that embracing the truth could set me free.

Today, it makes me sad to think back on the fact that my father and I often disagreed on many things.

We had very different ideas about the relationship between individuals and the state.

What started as civil conversations, too often ended in quarrels.

It felt like our opposing opinions on politics drove a wedge between us.

If he had lived today, he probably would have developed a fascination for how Bitcoin works.

He wouldn't have trusted Bitcoin, just because others said it's immutable.

I'm confident he would have picked apart every little piece of the technology, in an attempt to verify Bitcoin's promise.

Just like I try to do with the socio-economic aspects of it.

If my father had been alive today, I suspect Bitcoin would have brought us closer together.

He could have explained the technology for me, and I could have explained Bitcoin's socio-economic functions to him.

Possibly, he would have realized that I had been right when I challenged many of the things that the powers at be want us to believe.

It's just guessing, of course.

But it makes sense, because it seems to me that Bitcoin attracts truthseekers like a magnet.

And at the same time, Bitcoin forces us to search for the truth together, instead of quarrelling about the correctness of something that others have fed us with.

If you liked this piece, it would be great if you gave it a boost 🧡

I can't stress enough how many people tell me that no social media app does what they want to do.

X only works for famous people. Instagram only works for picture-perfect people. Linked-in is a giant circle jerk. Slack is not productive. Discord is a dumpsterfire. NextDoor is barely a glorified classified. Finding good communities on Reddit is harder than finding a good show on Netflix. Facebook only appeals to nostalgia. TikTok is a mindless stream of the same stuff over and over again. WhatsApp groups annoy users more than help. Etc.

Which is really interesting after the billions of dollars these companies have put into developing them. It's almost as if their poorly designed incentive structure led these teams to fully ignore the user.


I hope I don't regret asking... what happened?

It’s incredible the amount of information they asked. My son soon learned that the best answer is Undecided or I don’t wish to answer 😉


I know the feeling


My son is filling out the form for the SAT and comes asking several times:  “Why do they want to know that? Why do they ask x? Why?”


Is freedom an illusion?


“Monsters exist, but they are too few in number to be truly dangerous. More dangerous are the common men, the functionaries ready to believe and to act without asking questions.”

Well, I don't fight them. I just avoid them and if they insist I ask questions. Many questions. It is always possible to understand and learn.


I’m so against generalisations

It's a general rule. Not what I believe or feel. I simply couldn't ask someone to invest, say, their pension fund in Bitcoin if they weren't well informed and able to tolerate fluctuations in price.


As a general rule, you should only invest in what you know well and only the funds you are willing to lose.

#HOWDONOSTR

What are Zapathons?

Zapathons are unofficial events that happen on nostr which consist of rapidly Zapping as much sats or as many people as possible. The main focus of the event is to have fun all the while stress testing many Lightning wallets and clients across the nostr protocol.

Zapathons organically came about as a way to stress test various Lightning wallets that many users were using. During the early days of Nostr and Zaps, Zapathons broke Wallet of Satoshi and Alby several times each during these events. These stress tests allowed these vendors to make their service offerings more robust and able to handle the increased traffic that Nostr was bringing to the Lightning network.

While Zapathons can occur at any time throughout the day and throughout the week - they can be completely random - most Zapathons happen used to happen weekly on Thursday and Friday at 5pm Eastern Standard Time.

You'll find hundreds of people Zapping every single note they come across or they'll be targeting specific notes or even targeting specific individuals. (Zap the devs!) You'll see memes and animated GIFs flooding your main feed as everyone celebrates, produces content to be Zapped, and wants to partake in the fun and excitement.

Some Nostriches like to hold their best memes, GIFs, or even announcements for Zapathons. Posting your content during a Zapathon could mean a healthy boost of eyeballs and Zaps for your note.

All you need to do to participate is have a Bitcoin Lighting wallet and like to have fun. That's it. You can also follow the #Zapathon hashtag for an extra dose of excitement if your own personal feed is a little bland during a Zapathon time period.


Good morning Amanda 🌻 PV!

I don’t know. It worked for me when I was literally without voice.


It tastes terrible but it might help: gargle with half a cup of cold black tea mixed with a tablespoon of vinegar (it doesn't matter if it's white or red). Three times a day. Grandma's secret.


Yes! Better than I expected. I'm getting better and better. Thank you!

Morning tips for all the Nostr Surfers : how to perform a bottom turn
https://m.primal.net/Hmzo.mov


Avethandwa is only 9. But he surfs on his own. Paddles to the backline by himself and catches his own waves. He's independent in the water.

And he's competing in his first surf comp this weekend!!!

Plus he's got a #Bitcoin wallet.

What were you doing when you were 10?

All zaps from this post will go straight to Avethandwa, as a reward for his proof-of-work.

And to motivate him to keep working hard, and surf harder.

#GrowNostr #Uncharted


Good morning Ewelina 🌻


We've had a lot of talk about relays over the past day here on Nostr. This may be a bit confusing if you're new to Nostr.

What's going on with this discussion and why are many people making comments, jokes, or memes about relays?

The argument boils down to centralization and decentralization. On Nostr, we decentralize our infrastructure by using a potential wide variety of servers. Many of us are reading this note right now that's been retrieved from a variety of servers or as we call them, relays. Some relays are more popular than others. This leads to the questions surrounding decentralization. If many users are only using a top subset of relays, then we're not as decentralized as we could be or maybe even as decentralized as we should be.

I have various opinions on this subject. Even if Nostriches mostly only use ten relays, we're still magnitudes better than any existing social platform where only one entity runs the server infrastructure. We can do better though and we should do better. We have the tools to and the capabilities to make Nostr even more decentralized.

Now, this gets us into the next discussion. Which method of decentralization is best? For that, again, in my opinion, I'm a fan of the Gossip model. Simple put, Gossip makes relay selection not overly matter all that much. You can use any relay that you'd like and your follower's clients essentially fetch the notes and events from the relays that are being used without the need to be utilizing the same relay for communication to flow.

What should you do? Nothing, IMO. Relay selection and discovery aren't that great on most clients. I'd say keep using the same relays that you're using for now. Maybe, at some point, you'll update your relays to use smaller, community relays. For now, this is a developer problem to solve. You just keep creating notes and sending zaps. It will all work out in the end. Our developers LOVE to have problems to solve. Pura vida!


Best post today 😆

I will always look for the light :)


You made me remember Leonard Cohen…

“There is a crack in everything.
That's how the light gets in.”

—Leonard Cohen, Selected Poems, 1956-1968


I didn’t know him. Interesting. Thank you.


To create ‘Dune’, Frank Herbert found inspiration in unlikely places.
Conservation practices of the Indigenous tribes of the Pacific Northwest taught him about ecology, and helped inspire the planet Arrakis. Thanks to Leslie Reid’s pioneering ecological study “The Sociology of Nature” he found a model for the ecosystem of Arrakis in the Guano islands of Peru.
The ecological movement fully embraced 'Dune' after its publication in 1965.

nostr:npub1kt3hutklgrma64ykjwk4trxq9rtyfnxhkjz729g4pd9xl7hzhrjse75004 #Bookstodon


one of the main issues nostr mobile users have, especially in poorer countries, is data consumption.

Most nostr clients connect to a number of relays you configure them to.

A lot of people configure 10, 12, even 15 relays.

Most clients just query for everybody the user follows on every single relay they are connected to.

And, just to be on the safe side and make sure your note is read, a lot of people publish through blastr, publishing  to 300 relays.

This means that:
* clients connect to 10, 15 or 20 relays
* fetch EVERYTHING from EVERYONE EVERYWHERE
potentially downloading the same event from every single relay they are connected to.

📬 Outbox model

Some people claim that gossip/outbox model is inefficient because it can lead to MORE WebSocket connections.

Yup. It does.

But it also leads to a MUCH more censorship-resistant network. A network where if someone is banned, the people interested in that person CAN'T EVEN TELL THAT THE PERSON WAS BANNED.

A self-healing system.

AND...

as a byproduct of that, data consumption can radically lower.

Instead of fetching every post from everyone everywhere, clients can be much more intelligent and fetch data only from one or two relays where they know they will find what they are looking for.

"Give me posts from A, B, C" from relay1
"Give me posts from D, E, F" from relay2
