 Nostr is a movement. No question about it.

 You weren't verified on Primal as swisshodler, that's why it didn't work. I just verified you; lmk if that fixed it.  
 We’ll onboard billions of people onto bitcoin this way.

 What desktop app/web client is everyone using for #nostr?

I have mobile setup now need to get it... 
 Let us know which issues should be fixed sir 🫡 
 imho, nostriga was the best nostr.world conference so far. and that says a lot, because nostrica and nostrasia were bangers. as i wait at the gate to fly out of riga, wanted to share some thoughts while my impressions are still fresh. 

i don’t know the actual numbers, but it felt like this was the biggest nostr event yet. the quality and signal of presentations was excellent. we are leaning into what is working, while at the same time there are still many fresh ideas emerging.  

in comparison, i must say that bitcoin events feel a bit stale. you can almost pick any talk/keynote/panel and drop it into any other bitcoin conference over the past few years - and it wouldn’t feel out of place. 

nostr has a lot of momentum and i dare to say that we have the winning hand vs. the legacy web. just keep pushing fam. 💜☀️

 it seems really important to “them” that we are not able to speak 
 If you are in Riga for Baltic Honeybager, come see my talk today at 10:55am on the main stage:

 Not yet, but working on it!  
 At Primal, we create follow recommendations for new users based on interests they specified during the sign-up process. We also started working on long form article curations. All this is publicly accessible via nostr lists for the official Primal account (link below). 

If you have suggestions regarding recommended accounts or articles, please let us know! 

https://listr.lol/npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg 
 Good idea; added to the list.  
 I agree that we need more diverse content. Please suggest high signal accounts that we should add to our follow categories.  
 Sorry, we don't have this feature yet. It does make sense to offer it; I'll add it to the list.  
 I wonder if/how one can set his Nostr feed to show a MIX of TRENDING posts and posts of people I ... 
 We are working on a bunch of new feeds at Primal. They will all be open source and exposed in a public feed marketplace (as DVMs). In addition, all Primal clients will support 3rd party feeds via the same mechanism. This already works great in Amethyst; nice work  @Vitor Pamplona.

If you have suggestions for feeds you'd like to see, let us know and we'll try to make them! 🫡  
 Sorry, I missed your original question. Yes, this list is open: 

nostr:note1z63324dfllvnmlgh6zeucv4z9mye8vuc7zgx4k6ujrrge47pn86scr8f3g  
 Wow that's a complex question and a worthy goal. We'll have to think more deeply about it.  
 Working on it! 🫡  
 By "same mechanism", I was referring to DVMs (Data Vending Machines) as a method to deliver custom nostr feeds.  
 Cool. Working on making it faster! 😅 
 Haven't seen this before; looks great! 👌 
 Interesting idea. Let's see if we can make it happen.  
 Agreed, that's a great feature that we don't currently support. We may add support for lists in the future, not sure when exactly. 

In the meantime, have you tried Listr? 

https://listr.lol  
 Looks interesting; we'll take a closer look!  
 If you go to Settings / Feeds in any Primal app, you'll be able reorder the feeds there. The top feed is the default one when you load the app.  
 Interesting; that way you could have multiple follow lists. We could create feeds that are based on any nostr list, or a combination of lists.  
 Looks like you are not on the latest version of our Android app. After you update, you'll have the option to reorder the feeds:

 I looked for this previously on Wikifreedia as you suggested, but couldn't find it. 😅

It does look interesting. It would be great if we could come up with a standard feed spec. DVMs are more general and could be useful for feeds. Let's talk more. You going to Riga?  
 Very cool, we'll dive into it after Riga.  
 @Rabble nails it here:

 You can already do that. Go to Settings / Feeds and reorder the feeds as you wish. The top feed will be the default one.  
 how great is this:

 The "Latest" feed is a chronological list of notes by your follows. 

We do have the global feed. You can access it via the web app: https://primal.net/explore/global/latest 

If you wish to add it to your main feed picker, simply click the "add this feed to my home page" link at the top of the feed. This will add the feed to both web and mobile apps.  
 Sad to see this. 😕

You guys definitively moved the ball forward. We are all grateful to you for that! Looking forward to see what you'll come up with next. Hope your next project involves both Nostr and Bitcoin. 

🫂  @Deleted Account,  @Paul,  @benthecarman 
 What's your daily driver in terms of nostr client(s)?  
 I use Primal and Highlighter 
 Thanks for reporting! 

 @Marko will be in touch over DMs to try to reproduce the issue.

 The biggest story around Nostr isn’t censorship resistance. 

It’s the total reshaping of the incentive structure on the Web. The platform silos currently hold most of the power, but Nostr will shift it to users and content creators. This will become more obvious as we build out the tools for users and content creators. Zaps are just the starting point. Exciting times ahead.

 Thanks for reporting. We are aware of this issue, it seems to happen on weak connections. Working on a fix! 
 Definitely not related to note content, but not 100% sure it's the connection.

 Our in-app purchase feature is designed to help people get a small amount of sats for the first time so they can experience zapping on nostr. This feature isn't designed for regularly buying sats; you are much better off using a service like Strike for that. 

In some cases frequent in-app purchases trigger our fraud logic and freeze the wallet. We unfreeze it quickly if we determine that we are dealing with a legitimate user.  
 GM Nostr ☀️

 @PABLOF7z and I are planning to give a joint talk at the upcoming  @thenostrworld conference. If you’d like to see this talk happen give us a 👍 on github. All suggestions/feedback are welcome as well. 

https://github.com/nostrworld/nostriga/issues/45  
 Sounds like a great topic for a talk.  
 You should be able to do this already in any of our clients. Go to Settings / Feeds and set the order you prefer. The top feed will be the default one.  
 Looks like you are not running the latest version of our android app. The option to reorder should be there.  
 Great test 👏👏👏 
 Bad marketing for Nostr clients to position as “wallets.”

Being money-obsessed is low-status... 
 Thanks for caring enough to provide this feedback @naval! You’re right; our current tagline misses the mark. Planning to change it for the upcoming 2.0 release. 
 Thanks for this feedback! 

Both of these features are on our to-do list; they will be added to the product before long. Keep the feedback coming!  
 Confirmed. Thanks for reporting, we’ll issue a patch soon. 
 We just released a patch to Primal for iOS that fixes the profile linking issue reported yesterday. Everyone should upgrade to the latest build (1.9.3).  
 Hey bro, hope you’ve been well! Can you make me a https:// primal .net/MADEX link? 
 Sure! Do you want it pointing to your Asanoha profile? 
 Primal for iOS build 1.8.6 has been released. Here is what we have for you: 

- DMs: performance improvements
- Network settings: enhanced privacy 
- Network settings: set caching service  
- Overall stability improvements 

Our main goal with this release was to solidify the existing functionality and make the app more performant. Let us know what else we should improve in that area. Moving forward, stay tuned for a MAJOR update and a ton of new functionality targeted for the end of August. 👀

Enjoy! 🤙💜
