The current price is the best Bitcoin marketing strategy.

The current price is be irrelevant for the long term hodlr

Don't count beans, go build stuff

It's all an effective distraction to capture new hodlrs


Feels good to be out of jail 😏


It’s Wednesdsy my dudes. GM #coffeechain


in a post truth world filled with fake news, the simple fact that all nostr posts are signed by a corresponding private key is an absolute game changer


Couldn't agree more and it's exciting to be here at it's infancy.

Anything that can be a source of truth in a world filled with fake news, disinformation and diversion has a 🤙 from me.


Damn, what are the chances of getting impaled by a cannoli while on the slopes.


Gm buddy - hope you have a good start to the week 🤙


Message received loud & clear Derek 🤙

Paid ⚡🤙


This PoW will have us all looking like Arnie from the 90s by the end of the year 🤝


This is actually a good way to start the day and get some additional fitness.

That is until a lightning lord zaps you 5,000 and you just accept death.


I’ve been following them for a while but good shoutout 🤙

#[3]


This is amazing scenery! Pity I'm terrible on a board or skis 😅


It’s good to see the cat is prepared for the lightning zap storm today ⚡🤙


It’s a fucking lightning storm out there ⛈


Sounds like a premined shitcoin if you ask me 🤙


Wish I had known this before playing around with relays 😅


We’re a stablecoin now 😂


Coming into any note about sats like

https://i.ibb.co/gmmTpSc/sats.jpg


I'm waiting for a whale to see the invoice on my profile 🤣

But jokes aside, definitely doing the same & may as well pick up some extra stuff while doing international shipping 🤙


The Q1 is tempting me to move over to Coldcard 😍


Thankfully you weren’t told to eat grass 😂


⚡ ⚡

Finally wasn't late to pay this one!


Had been overly busy for the last 48 hours and am behind on stacking notes. But missing 48 hours on Nostr feels like you've missed out on a month of development 🤙


The way I see it, they’re donating to the nostrplebs beer fund 🍻


My temptation to DM you pretending to be SBF’s dildo is rising 😂


I see this as a complete financial win 🤙


The guy on the right is based off the guy who paid Will’s 1,000,000 invoice yesterday 😂


It’s one number after 9734


You can add them to your relay list and you’ll receive a DM with an invoice.


Using 7 relays currently; 5 paid and 2 unpaid (snort & damus).

Performance is great, the global feed is still spammed due to the unpaid relays.

As for the ones I’d recommend; orangepill, eden, puravida.


Have a good one 🤙


Or the librarian scene I’ve been seeing every minute for the last 12 hours 😂


And the same porn picture at that, over and over, as if it ripped one page out of it’s dad porn magazine from the 80s 😂


A sat a day keeps the Fed away 🤙


I wish, I’ve got about 6 to wake up an hour after all of them.


Individuals and governments have been attacking Bitcoin since its inception. Yet here we stand.


You mean you don’t want to see a note every time a BTC block is mined? 🤖


Nostrfans wen?

Jokes aside, good work purple pilling a friend. When people realise that this protocol is censorship resistant, and you will have the tools (i.e. mute) to block out what you don't want to see, they will come around.

And of course ⚡


Interesting thought. Especially about the potential of integration of Nostr into other every day apps.

To think out loud, about what I would want, would be a main set of keys; verified via NIP-05 or a better protocol back up on a hardware wallet and/or Yubikey; and from that set of keys the ability to generate a new npub & nsec that I could use on any other platform for any other reason.

That would essentially allow me to have multiple sets of keys all managed (and potentially verified) from the main npub and nsec.

Or maybe I've spent too much time here and my brain is turning into that of an Ostrich.


Nostr private keys with Seedsigner, Yubikey or hardware wallets will definitely be something soon I can imagine.


Thanks! Just finished reading it actually, glad to hear it wasn’t the initial scenario in the end.

Though knowing my private key was backed up on a hardware wallet would put my mind at ease.


Sorry to hear this man! But if you do make another pub key; we will follow you 🤙

I’d like some cold wallet integration or Yubikey for the private key to be honest.


Don’t use Muun. It’s not a real LN wallet. Use Wallet of Satoshi or GetAlby instead.


There is a free version, yep.


Thanks! 🤙


Damn it #[5] we just finished discussing impersonation this time yesterday 😂


ELI5 how to use rana?


**Welcome new Nostriches! How do you find people on Nostr?**

Over the past few days I've seen a lot of people ask this question. They join Nostr, because they near how it's the place to be, the hear it's where the signal is at, but when they get here, they don't hear anything! How do you find people on Nostr? How do you find the signal that we're always talking about?

**Use pre-built lists of power users and signal boosters.**

* https://snort.social/new - This Nostr client comes with a list of Nostr power users to keep your feed always busy and allows you to search for and easily follow all of your Twitter friends.
* https://bitcoinnostr.com - This website consists of Nostr Users that are Bitcoiners. You'll recognize them from Bitcoin Twitter.
* https://nostr.directory - This website contains a vast directory of Twitter, Mastodon, and Telegram users that have connected their Nostr public keys.
* https://nostrplebs.com/directory - On this website directory you'll find familiar faces from Bitcoin Twitter and plenty new faces from Nostr. (Shameles Plug: I founded this Nostr services provider.)

**Find users inside your Nostr client.**

* Hashtags - If your client supports hashtags, I recommend you take a look at #Plebchain. This hashtag comes with plenty of Bitcoin Plebs and Nostr Plebs looking to connect with one another.
* Global Feed - Many clients include the "Global Feed" which allows you to easily find people that you're not already following. (Beware of spam.)
* Global Channel - If your client supports channels, you can check out the Global Channel in your client and new find people looking to chat and learn about Nostr together.

Do you have another way to find Nostr users? Shill it below so that others can find one another. Thanks!


Nice ⚡ You can also use your nostrplebs NIP-05 address to redirect to your Alby wallet just in case you didn’t know!


They should’ve opted for “centralised shitcoin-ing” instead. It’d have been more accurate.


#[0] I saw the warning on damus.io/web about using web clients. Are any other web client maintainers aware of it? Was there a more detailed post about it that I missed?


This bad boy in the middle: https://cryptotag.io/products/hodl-light-bitcoin/


Looking good and love the sticker 🤙


Preach 🧡


Confirmed on snort.social ⚡


Thank you much appreciated ⚡🤙


Standing by your decision 🫡


What if it were already taken on nostrplebs and they were to register it on nostrpurple? What would be the situation there?


I honestly don’t personally classify it as impersonation until an attempt to impersonate occurs.

I honestly think it’s someone who is thinking NIP-05 is the equivalent of a domain name.


Welcome, Elon Musk!

Hello world.


These are some great guys to get you started.

Wen "nostrade"?


Hey man I've got some beautiful feet, just so you know 🤣


A Linktree alternative would be cool.


Thanks #[4] - you know what, I'm actually going to look into it.

Appreciate the link and keep up the good work! Followed 💜


I wouldn't know where to even start, especially for something like Nostr, though it is interesting. Any references?

Though I did do a year of CS wayyyy back in the day.


Welcome back 💜 Fiat mining, Nostr fam, stacking and sending sats.

All in a day's work!


Give me alby on safari while we're at it, too.


Remain calm, it’s happening. Now it’s all in Tim Apple’s hands 🙌


**Amethyst is nearly my perfect *native* Android client for Nostr**

Over the last month I've tested out over a half dozen different Android apps for Nostr. Each week, I would be incredibly impressed with their progress, write a weekly recap of their features and enhancements, but in the end none of them were able to be used as a daily driver.

A long last, our **global nightmare** has come to an end. Amethyst was released to the Google Play Store for the world to download and install on January 25, 2023. Having a Nostr client running on Android means tapping into the largest market on the planet. **Roughly 75% of the world uses Android** on their smartphone. With Amethyst, Nostr was now able to be used by the masses.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vitorpamplona.amethyst

Amethyst is very smooth and fluent throughout the application, something other apps or even web clients are lacking. Amethyst comes with native image uploading, meaning you don't have to go and upload your image elsewhere, copy the link, and then find your way back to the app. Amethyst utilizes the popular Imugr.com image service for hosting.

Amethyst also boasts **link preview**, showing rich snippets for links that are included in posts. This is something that has become standard on social networks like Facebook or Twitter over the years. It's definitely a nice quality of life enhancement, in my opinion.

One feature that I don't use on other clients, because it's not included, are Public channels. Not all clients display these properly or even not at all, but they work like Telegram channel. They allow users to form a public group or collection of posts around the same topic.

As a power user with many relays, I'll say that most clients are slow and laggy for me. Astral and Snort are great clients and I still use them daily. Snort is my absolute favorite. I often switch back and forth between the two, because some features work better for me on Astral, such as DMs. On Snort, my DMs are very slow and mostly broken. This is a Derek issue though. On Amethyst, my DMs just work. I'm very happy to see them working as intended.

Amethyst is nearly perfect. There are three features that I use daily that this Nostr client does not include, at least at this time.

* NIP-05 display
* Lightning on posts and profiles
* Markdown

NIP-05 display is important to me, not because I founded NostrPlebs.com, but for identification. I believe this is very important for the community as a whole. I'm spoiled by Snort's implementation, seeing pretty NostrPlebs.com users throughout my feed. Besides this, every client out there shows this. It's commonplace and expected.

Lightning on posts and profiles is equally important. Nearly the entire Nostr community at this time is composed of Bitcoiners. Lightning integration allows us to use Nostr as a **Value 4 Value economy**, zapping, tipping, or paying users for their content and their contributions has become a way of life over the past month.

Markdown may not be important to everyone, but in my long form posts, such as this one, I like to include bold, italics, and bulleted lists. Most popular clients include these things.

For now, I'll most likely be using Snort while at home on my desktop or laptop, but when I'm mobile, my go to client of choice will no longer be a web client. I'll be using Amethyst.

*Things to report in a week: data usage and battery life comparisons.*


Great and thorough review, thanks for sharing.

I am an iOS user however this was insightful to read, hopefully Damus and other iOS counterparts can use some of these positives in their own building.


Now it’s starting to look amazing! Thanks! 🤙


Oh that’s a great picture! Mind if I use it for my banner on my profile?


Too late 🍻🤙


By heading over to nostrplebs.com and getting my shiny "btcmaxi" NIP-05 of course!


I think #[4] is suffering from the same problem I did; the nostrplebs.com purple shininess ;)


Kill it with fire.


I look forward to seeing both Iris and Damus on iOS (not currently in the test flight). I think that will be a huge moment for Nostr.


That sounds like a win-win situation to me!


Thanks #[3] - pleasure to be here!


Agreed. Do good every day!
