 Update on oregonbitcoiners.com: 

If you are already a nostr user, You can add the relay wss://oregonbitcoiners.com/relay to your relay list, and you will start to show up in the relays global feed. If you get the oregonbitcoiners.com nostr address (nip-05) you will also show up in the relays feed that only displays posts from users that have the nostr address. 
(sorry if you already got the nip-05, but the DB nuke got rid of your record for the nip-05, and you'll have to re-register)

If you are not a nostr user and sign up to oregonbitcoiners.com to make your key. You can use oregonbitcoiners.com, but you will only see what's posted to the relay. And only be able to interact with the people using the relay. 

To keep the global feed clean, I'm not going to ingest a bunch of stuff from the rest of nostr. You can import your keys you make with Oregon bitcoiner to any other app to reach out to the rest of the network. 
 Ok, so good and bad news. 

Bad news. I broke the oregonbitcoiners.com relay and ditto instance's database.  Good news, it's back up and running. Bad news, If you were using it and the nip-05 you'll need to re-register, sorry for that. Not too many people used the Nip-05 anyway. 

It should be a bit nicer to use now. I reduced the amount of relays it posts to and reads from (mainly trying to limit the BS that shows up in global for the instance) 

Going to keep fiddling with it a bit and not break things this time.

 lol shit sorry for the late reply. It's well documented. https://docs.soapbox.pub/ditto/install

If you need a hand, I'm happy to help you set one up. I'm talking nostr on the next meetup in Eugene hoping to get some more Oregon folks on here. 😅  
 Is git installed? Just type 'git -h' and if nothing happens do 'sudo apt install git -y' that should install git and you can move forward.  
 So there is a third Tuesday Bitcoin meetup in Vancouver for anyone interested. 7:30 PM. Here is the meetup link.

 is the idea with the ditto instance that any note written to the oregon bitcoiner relay will show... 
 yeah if your rocking the "oregonbitcoiner" Nip-05 the posts will show on the relay feed.  
 Ahoiy, what exactly is this?  I do...fit the criteria of the name :) 
 I'm testing a Ditto instance for Oregon based Bitcoiners. I was gonna just run it for my local meet up (in eugene), but I decided to do it for the whole state as the domain was available and someone from Portland expressed interest as well.  
 Confirmed works.

Don't be sleeping on Ditto and the implications. Small groups of people interac... 
 That's pretty close to the right terms. Small community groups could be a local node or a LAN. The rest of nostr is your WAN (wide area network). or something. 
 If you get the oregonbitcoiners.com nip-05, and you're not using the site, don't forget to add  wss://oregonbitcoiners.com/relay so we see your posts.

 I didn't start the meetup, but I'm in Eugene. There are a lot of Portland bitcoiners. I'm talking with someone up there to try and get them on this instance. 

We do a first Thursday meet up every month in Eugene.
