 did anyone make a marketplace for nostr? 
 I think it’s easy to say just mute the person. But if you don’t have the lived experience of ... 
 the world is built by men 
 you need blockchain access to make a transaction but in principle it's correct, yes 
 funny given x/twitter is inflating traffic with bots/trolls

 Confession:

After a solid week on #nostr I don't think there is a way back to traditional social... 
 other platforms only appear so busy because of trolls and bots

please take a look, I have work for sats 
 I moved to Romania from the UK and accidently avoided the onset of communism, fancy that, and I'm English, I get irony, but this is more irony than one needs 
 I'm beginning to feel like a zap bot, zap bot 🤖🎶 
 Has NOSTR gone quiet? Is this normal?
 
 fuck it means i'm boring, bollocks 
 yeah was just curious, think most mainstream social media appears busy because of the vast numbers that use it and constant bot agitation 
 NOSTR seems like a much more positive and constructive place than other social media sites, I've found some good contacts and information already and I've only been on here a week or so. The Zap thing is fun and looks like a great way to spread #bitcoin lore and push back on the criminal elites. I'm looking for people to collaborate on my project but not sure how I can use NOSTR to promote that, any ideas let me know.
 
 yes, this is what I figured out over time too, their game is keep your eyes on their app any cost, that's why they can't be totally transparent or do things that would actually kill the bot activity pretty quickly, they need to appear to be doing the right thing but not actually doing it.  
 i paid for gpt4 today and got it to show me how to make a simple web site, here's the result

www.randomromania.com  - i'd pay someone (a reasonable amount) to help me tidy it

i used to program 6502 as a teen but those skills are long gone, i'm building a real project and there's real land and opportunity up for grabs  for the right people, i've got 4 on board so far and 8k+ on youtube, 50 i speak with regularly and another 200+ that are keeping in contact but the people i'm looking for are probably 1 in a 1000, maybe 5000

all ideas/input greatly appreciated


 
 i'd put the number of bots and paid agitators at 60%+ of active accounts 
 Did anyone build something like Upwork for NOSTR? 
 Are there any GPT LLMS or any other AI that has live Internet access? 
 I don't get the people who have visceral hate towards bitcoin. They roll their eyes at a mere men... 
 It's because it makes them feel insecure, because they know it can't be controlled and they know they don't understand it, such things offend the sheep minded
 
 Gm,

If you have a self custodial lightning address, please drop it below.

Feel like breaking so...

They are old US laws being reworked ;)

EU criminal gangsters adapt old US laws to cash and #Bitcoin
 
 What would be cool is a feature where I can repost something on Twitter/X and in automatically posts here too? Anyone seen something like that? 
 cheers, i will take a look
it would be good to bot clone all posts from major twitter/x accounts
 
 Also I think NOSTR should be marketed as a way for people to keep connected if centralized systems are taken down 
 you have some connections that make it worth me spending some time on it? 
 How would a normie buy a large sum of #Bitcoin , i.e. anything over $10k?

Is this even possible?... 
 on an exchange? 
 ok, kraken the limits are huge, harder if you want to do it privately, a lot depends on which country you're in 
 #nostrdesign

NOSTR ideas, can someone please put me in contact with a dev?

1. Allow people to fund the development of NOSTR software by a "zap to post" option, so if I want to post something important I can pay a zap to post it and I can also filter by "zapped to post" and by who/what I zapped. So if I want to filter by all zapped to fund Primal posts (for example) I can do that

2. Allow people to audio post, an AI tidies the text, in fact the audio could be an instruction to the AI to summarize, you can have additional options to modify, redo, speak back and so on and once you're ready you pay a zap to post

Thoughts anyone? 
 How can I send you a voice message? It's possible? 
 have you got telegram?
 
 I will make a video explaining my idea and link it here 
 what is snort?
video uploading now

Here you go, hope that explains my points
 
 cheers 
 zap to post and filter zapped posts would be good because it should cut down/stop dead people posting silly stuff constantly
 
 ok, thanks for replying. cheers :) 
 i don't understand how the whole network works in detail, all i know is i've never understood why you can't make a micropayment to post on social media, this would kill a load of spam and noise that plagues all social media
 
 it needs to be a payment 
 Ok cool I'll research that

 The question is what is the black swan event, when will it happen and how can we prepare for it?

 please stop it 
 you're wrong, we need vastly stronger men in the west 
 why do you think mindset is the driver for suicide? 
 of course, i'm genuinely curious what you think, i don't agree with you, white men in the west have been constantly mocked and belittled in western media and family law has been weaponized against them 
 what do you mean by that? 
 oh i get it now, you're just a communist
 
 why would you be seeking to weaken men? 
 actually now i think of it why don't you put your zaps where your  mouth is and let's debate this on a video or voice call and post it back on here? 
 of course you won't debate me :)
