 The purple pill helps the orange pill go down, but sometimes the orange pill overpowers the purple pill.

 Typos. You'll also get lots of typos.  
 HIGH END FISH
NO DOUBT  
 How's everyone doing on here? Shitposting on here just isn't the same as it is on Twitter. 


GM  
 We're all just wondering why you're still using Twitter 😩 
 Have you met my dude  @mike? He's one hell of a strong individual. One might even say, a bit of a Hardcastle...  (Mike likes dad jokes too.) He also wrote a book about Bitcoin.

 I get it. I had to turn down my music the other day because I was afraid that you'd jump in the ocean and swim over to my cruise ship. 💪🏻 
 if you're getting 'normie texts' asking questions about Bitcoin, a good place to get started is Erin's book that she launched last spring.

 I haven't gotten any yet 🤣🥹 
 What are some habits of high-value #nostr creators that a #newbie like myself should consider? 

... 
 With me, you'll never know what you'll get. It could be a shitpost, a meme, GIF, random song lyrics, or a nice and informative post about Nostr content, value or value, or educational content typing to onboard the masses. 
 Oh my God, Sandy, please don't hold this against me.

 The normie texts have begun. Buckle up. 
 "this is all explained in my book" 😂

 🤣 I just realized that the BITCOIN Act by Senator Lummis stands for "Boosting Innovation, Technology, and Competitiveness through Optimized Investment Nationwide Act".

Hey ChatGPT, I need an acronym for the word Bitcoin 🤣 
 It's real. 
 It's...fitting though 🤣🤣🤣

 If you're using the #NostrElites relay, you can also check out the new NIP-29 community chat at https://chachi.chat/nostrelites.org

You will need a NIP-07 web browser extension such as Nostr Connect or Alby.

I don't know what this will be used for, besides random chatting and random testing of these Discord-like community chats.

This app by  @verbiricha is still really new, so bugs will exist. 
 Still can’t believe that the Brazilian version of “haha” / “jaja” is 

“rsrsrs”  
 Interesting... 
 Good morning and pura vida, Nostr! It's time to create notes and send zaps! 🫂🤙🏻💜

Freedom technology demands patience and effort, much like the individual freedoms themselves. Both are challenging. Keep pushing.

 Are you ready for the next Nostr event? It's happening next month in Austin, Texas. There's going to be talks, panels, and even a concert. It's going to be epic. Nostriches. Music. Bitcoin.  https://nostr.download/cab21239e3802e3aeb3dad2152eb0356496bc7b4601e6b6a50d1530f459b9c23.webp

 It's going to be a lot of fun that's for sure. We gotta start hitting up the Austin Bitcoin scene and tell them about this event! 
 There's still time. 
 I haven't installed a custom ROM on my Android smartphone in many years. The process for doing so now is so incredibly easy compared to the first 10 years of Android devices. Wow. The web installer for GrapheneOS makes it so easy that I believe everyone can now do this. 
 Nah. If you can plug your phone into a computer ane click some buttons and tap your phone screen, go be got this. 
 I used MIUI for a while back in 2010. I used to help do some of the releases and English translations for the HTC Incredible. I ran MIUI.us for a while. Eventually I migrated over to CM7 when it launched and pretty much stayed with CyanogenMod for the next several years. I ran AOKP a little because I liked Roman and I ran ParanoidAndroid a bit for fun, but I always came back to CM. I was friends with many of the CM devs and hung out with a lot of them, so it was an easy choice. 
 Well yeah. Everything else is a Shitcoin. This has always been the way. 
 No. Many bootloaders can be unlocked or exploited. Many ROMs exist for various phones. GrapheneOS only exists for the Pixel line though. 
 I think we talked about AOKP before. I remember showing someone a pic of Roman and I 😂 
 Historically they always had exploits found eventually allowing people to bypass and root. Is that no longer the case? I haven't paid attention to this space in a very long while. 
 The best phones have 3.5 floppies. 
 That's the kicker. US devices, mainly AT&T and Verizon have historically come with locked bootloaders 😂 Never buy from a carrier.  
 I honestly haven't owned a non Google device since the HTC Incredible in 2010 and Moto X in 2012. It's been Google Nexus and Google Pixel since. They are the most open and most developer friendly devices. 
 Still traveling. Will respond to everyone in coming days.

What a blessing you all are to me. 
 Travel safely, brother 🫂 
 I could use some of that boat life right now. I'm missing summer already 😩 
 Sad 🤣 
 That's literally how he became president 😂 Back in 2014/15, /r/The_Donald was just shitposts and memes making fun of Trump. It was mostly people from /r/fatpeoplehate that needed a new home after their sub was banned. So they went there to rip on Trump. After a while, people started to believe the memes and shitposts. Slowly over a year or so it became a fan subreddit. It was wild to witness. It kind of reminded me of the old 4chan memes that people outside 4chan started to believe. 
 In the last ~week I've noticed that when I do my usual bouncing between clients, some of the post... 
 WoT relays help reduce spam to almost zero. They're great for most Nostr users. They aren't good for new users however, because new users don't have a WoT yet.

 
 The new user would need someone to follow them for them to enter into a Web of Trust. Yyou can follow as many people as you'd like and your WoT isn't improved. 
 #NostrElites wss://nostrelites.org is mine  
 My follows and my follows follows, correct. Correct again, a new person following me is not in my WoT.

Which is why I said this system hurts new users because they have zero WoT.  
 Yes, it does that, but you can also write to it too. 
 It doesn't actively do this. If you follow a spammer then a spammer can write to my relay. It's up to the community to not follow them. But I can always blackliat an npub.

 The issue with using a relay on your own home network and accessing it outside of your home, comes down to accessibility. You need a way to connect to your home. Several methods exist to poke a hole through your network. You eluded to both. You need TOR or another method such as Tailscale or a slightly more complicated method with port forwarding, an SSL cert, Cloudflare and/or DNS entries.
