What non KYC API friendly options exist for implementing automatic npub whitelisting for paid nostr relays? I see Zebedee but that's KYC.


While I don't waste time on any social media platform, I am finding that my time is best spent on #nostr because I learn stuff here.


My first Lightning invoice. https://image.nostr.build/4f5938cae014b67d2e3f61a4dd116d89fc5441198d880b764125d4b8e5533581.jpg


I think I'm getting Lightning figured out. Slowly. I have Zeus installed and created an invoice but haven't opened a channel yet because I don't know how to get any of my on chain Bitcoin onto Lightning. Oh and I don't know how to connect my Lightning address into my Nostr profile yet. Baby steps.


GM seems to be the latest trend on #nostr.


When did nostr:nprofile1qqsxpfwtq34xpnqy9djsg7jjayq3rrst95r4xflje0nqlwjjwhfhrycpzpmhxue69uhkumewwd68ytnrwghszxthwden5te0wfjkccte9eekummjwsh8xmmrd9skctcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhse6ztph stop doing Bitcoin related project updates in the podcast? I just realized I hadn't heard any for like a year.


I appreciate nostr because I'm not a product being monetized.

Who has a tutorial or thoughts on setting up high availability fault tolerant nostr relays?


I guess I'm not smart enough to figure it out.


I struggle with content creation.
I copy other people's code.
I don't have a finance background.
I don't have a hair streak like BTCSessions.
I can't even get nostr verified.
But I desire to give back to the community that has changed my life.
I will keep on thinking. There has to be an opportunity for me somewhere.


Relay list to store private content from this author

few understand we have one of the best protocols for efficiently syncing datasets between nostr nodes. nostr officially grows up when NIP-77 lands.

Think bigger.
Care bigger.
Find bigger.
See bigger.


The acronym HAVEN tells me it could work for a media heavy public relay. But I don't know under the hood. So, thoughts?


Dammit, I just got strfry going on my own relay, and now I learn about this??? Back to the keyboard I guess.


Slap a Bitcoin logo on it too and I would refinance my house for them. I'm also an Adidas fan for what it's worth.

Dammit nostr. I'm running my own node, have been posting through Amethyst and Primal, but you still won't let me zap.

But you're still better than X.

Second post on new relay nostr.2911.org. #nostr #plebchain


It's no secret that I'm not a fan of our government. I love our country but the government needs an enema.

A person who apparently has grown tired of my posts on Facebook told me to run for office so I could fix the problem. The fault with that suggestion is that by becoming part of the system, I become part of the problem. And a problem that politicians created cannot be fixed by other politicians because the system incentivizes politicians to better their own financial position, and not act in the best interest of their constituents, UNLESS their constituents are giving them money.

So the only way to fix the system is by opting out of it. And only after you become angry enough about it will you see the answer.


Healthchecks.io for the win!


First you show your left ear. Now you show yourself in a dress. The nostr universe is going to lose its collective shit.


Is running both the default setting in strfry?


So as a relay runner, how do I ensure my relay has the most current information for all (active) profiles?


LFG - bring on the network effect!


I took some time to watch nostr:nprofile1qqsw4v882mfjhq9u63j08kzyhqzqxqc8tgf740p4nxnk9jdv02u37ncpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9uju6mpd4czuumfw3jsz9nhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wsq3yamnwvaz7tmsw4e8qmr9wpskwtn9wvql3tqm's presentation at Princeton on "Broken Money" and appreciated a recognized institution being open to hosting her to further educate the common person on what we all know.

However, my observation is that the audience was mostly already Bitcoiners or friends of Bitcoin. So why is it that so few people actually care why they are being stolen from, and instead think that changing political figureheads will change their financial situation???


My government doesn't know if I do or don't own #bitcoin.


Should I have any concerns about running a #nostr relay at home?


The US Dollar has been king of the mountain for far too long but the system is too far broken to be fixed. Move to a Bitcoin Standard and https://image.nostr.build/aed016fcaf100b8741f6f65c4ce62fedd3945ef144e8f4b72068506dd73d83b2.jpg you can escape the system.

If you were going to be the first ??? on #nostr, what would the ??? be?


I can't trust this photo. It deviates too much from the norm. Lyn's nsec has been compromised.


I need a Buy Bitcoin stamp.


Why should people take financial advice from business owners? Frankly, people shouldn't take financial advice from anyone, even the "professional financial advisors."

People should take responsibility for themselves instead of outsourcing it to someone else, learn how the money system works, and make the long term financial investments in hard assets that they see best fit for themselves.

#asknostr What's your preferred mobile friendly #lightning wallet that supports LNurl send and receive? Blue, Breeze, Phoenix, Zeus, or something else?


Turns out Blockstream Green doesn't support LNurl, so my nostr profile is incomplete. What's your preferred mobile friendly #lightning wallet? Blue, Breeze, Phoenix, Zeus, or something else? #plebchain


Tech support needed. I use Blockstream Green as my #lightning wallet, I copy the receive address into my #nostr profile, and my #amethyst client can't decode the LNurl. Is this a wallet problem or a me problem?


I thought I did. What am I missing? https://image.nostr.build/23a47c65c04ef28af418c6c40b5eaf6b652d7137797af88f1726811a3f1cba37.jpg

Right now #nostr is heavy on #bitcoin content, which is understandable because the majority of us are Bitcoiners. Who should I follow that isn't posting exclusively Bitcoin content?


This garbage can will not stop crime, but it is an excellent tool for surveillance, monitoring, and tracking. #TheRealMotive


Investors, if you're going to short Bitcoin, just give me your money and I'll put it to good use, because you'll lose it otherwise.


More people have faith in "their" money than in a higher power. If they knew how broken their money was, there would be a massive shift.


A while back I was pitched for a "be your own bank" MLM. After looking into it, it was the essential definition of a ponzi scheme - the entire company would eventually fold when it stopped enrolling new representatives.

Many years ago I looked at the Infinite Banking Concept which also promotes itself as "be your own bank". The problem is that "your" money isn't your money, it's never immediately available because it's held with a mutual life insurance company, and unless you're funding it faster than inflation, you're losing value regardless of the made up projections.

Unless you actually own a bank, THE ONLY WAY to be your own bank is to hold your own assets like precious metals and Bitcoin in self custody, and validate your own transactions.

Anything else is quite simply a scam.


I didn't put one in because Amethyst says the LN URL is outdated.


Can someone send a small zap to test my wallet? #plebchain


Yesterday I met Chef Dan. It turns out that Dan is quite knowledgeable in macro and micro economics, and no surprise here - Bitcoin.

Which got me thinking: When it comes to financial advice, why should someone listen to Dan? I mean, he's a chef, so he doesn't have any professional or academic qualifications to be offering such advice, right?

The key is to look at his incentives. He doesn't earn a commission from the education he shares, there aren't any consulting fees or hourly charges; there aren't even any kickbacks or bonuses for him. In fact, one could say he has no skin in your financial success game.

That's exactly why you SHOULD listen to him. We Bitcoiners are a different breed of people. We recognize that the government's money system is broken. The government prints out of thin air the same money we have to work for, which steals the value from our time, and forces us to keep working more hours or climbing the corporate ladder for more pay, just to maintain the lifestyle to which we have become accustomed, and that time steals from our family too. And the government taxes is as a form of spending control against us, not as an income source for them. Our incentive is to share what we know so you can have hope in a solid financial future again.

So the next time you're hearing what sounds like financial advice, consider the incentives - the greater the incentives, maybe the less you should listen.
