 And then we were three. 
We now have three women on the Nostr Dev list.
Welcome nostr:npub18pudjh... 
 Lol been on nostr since 2021. 
 Nostr wine also has one 
 Probably because i was focused on lightning dev . Nostr discovery isnt great still 
 Lol. AIs ruining it for everyone. 

Should probably do more serious engineering work instead of just shits and giggles, but the giggles are just so much fun! 
 Nostr nuked my following list, pls drop some 🧡 if we are friends 
 🧡  
 Planning another dev call tomorrow at 12 CT, more information to come! 
 🤙 
 Anita makes some good points

 See my dm 
 I am not trying to make a dark pattern.  

I had to call cloudfodder yesterday to ask if this was doing it right or wrong but i don't have all day to go back and correct things, I'm usually doing a bit here and there between 12 - 1am, that's it.  So I will correct this accordingly, but given the time constraints, I am SLOW and me not knowing "the right way" to do things, I put it on a test relay. 

To be honest, it would have more helpful if people actually gave me constructive feedback directly instead of having to dig to find this thread. 
I'm not fluent in nostr implementations, if my 1 hr a night dev sucks ass for you, sorry. 

Here is what I think - If you want to encourage more devs to build in the space, then please do let me know how things can be better, and like, especially afaik there are hardly any female devs??? here to begin with, don't tear us down. I don't have a lot of help. I don't have a lot of people to even talk to, this is already hard enough doing it in isolation. 
 
If  nobody is happy with what i'm putting out there for free at <10hrs a week, I am happy to take it all private for me and my frens. Just want to let you know since I'm not 100% all in full time on nostr dev! 
 the testnet relay stuff we'll get rid of it in a day or so its just for testing right now. 
 yep 
 the signing part is what i added in for the kind 1 event, this is a feature that several users asked for, they wanted to broadcast a kind1 event to their feeds from within hivetalk. 

So the first part is asking permissions for signing kind 1s, and its just option if you want to sign and send a kind1. 

the test relay stuff we'll remove that but people can opt in or out to sign and send a kind1 
 no 
 stop trolling. it was for testnet and its already gone. 
 Anyone know where to start on troubleshooting... I had to turn off my node. I think I shut it dow... 
 Bless you 
 By tomorrow we might have no Biden and Kamala as 47. 

Trump to be 48.  

- Laura Loomer reports . 🤯

November can’t come soon enough?

 Dunno if she's extrapolating or?  I am just quoting this now from Laura Loomer

 Staying independent is harder but more Freedom. Nobody can own you or influence your direction, to me that is what being sovereign is all about. 
 The Smartest People are Are All on #Nostr 
 Elon was never really into free speech but into conflict and drama. 

Here's some fun analysis:

 Recent Observation: Small Acinq channels sub 1M , only allow invoices through that are less than 100k sats,  if you have only 1 channel, to say a small node.  Anyone else?  Interesting curiosity.

 bookmarked for late night reading! thank you

 random thought:

if i gave you a signed bitcoin transaction that spends a UTXO, you can submit it... 
 Keysend is neat. how do you feel about the bolt12? 
 I’m gonna be on stage at the conference sort of representing nostr users. 

I have my own thoug... 
 May I write you a long essay about this later tonite? 
 worth a read to the bottom before you go on a panel :)

 The best part of #Nostr is that unlike #Clubhouse and #X Spaces, I don't get "You Dumb B*tch" yelled every 5 seconds and people screaming incomplete sentences at each other constantly.

I don't know how people are able to tolerate mainstream social media anymore.

 Software Engineering is a team sport. 

Too often people seem to forget. 

https://m.primal.net/JauJ.png  
 The quote by The Mythical Man-Month, "Software engineering is a team sport," emphasizes the collaborative nature of software development. It acknowledges that successful software projects rely on effective teamwork and coordination among various individuals with different areas of expertise. Software engineers cannot work in isolation; they need to collaborate with designers, project managers, testers, and other stakeholders to develop high-quality software. This quote highlights the importance of communication, cooperation, and shared responsibility within a team to meet project goals and deliver software that satisfies the needs of the end-users. In the dynamic and ever-evolving world of software engineering, recognizing it as a team sport fosters effective collaboration, boosts productivity, and leads to the overall success of a project. 
 When the chips are down you see who your true friends are.

 I got upset about some shit. 

Then I remembered I had no power to change it.

Now I’m not upse... 
 Now you have more time for Nostr :) Life is Good. 
 nostr is alternative programming 
 Nostr is alternative fun programming. 😁

No big tech pressure here. Its Awesome! 
 Do people even realize how boss LNBits is? 

Not only do you have a choice of nearly 15 different LN backends....... 

you can also run an infinite number of nostr client and relay using the extensions. 

#tell #Nostr 
 Feel free to audit the code base yourself and complain. I feel better that Pavol is actually one of the reviewers  (cto of trezor) 
 GM Nostr. 🌞

Holiday with the family starting tomorrow.

I've always had a lot of trouble taki... 
 Good on you. I shut the internet off for 2 weeks every year. 

If this falls over, so sue me but I DGAF. Live is too short. Enjoy. 
 #testing. I thought if i post here, it doesn't go to all my relays but only to this one relay.  
  @cloud fodder that was me posting on tig's relay and it showed up everywhere. Weird.. 
 a whole slew from last year. thanks for listening! 
 right i recall you saying this. but didn't realize how much leakage. 

i have been spamming everyone inadvertently. 

however with the LNBits relays they can be used quietly for testing and i can spin up an infinite number over there. Been doing instead recently as I noticed the nostr1.com relays propagate super fast. 
 Yes there is also the fact that some of the test relays aren't added to clients so they aren't discovered. 

i want this before blasting out stuff that is production ready :) 
 lemme guess this actually might have something to do with strfry's " negentropy syncing protocol." 

its super smart and efficient the way its done, but production not staging :P 
 I posted directly to the relay itself didn’t use a gui client 
 GONNA THROW YA OFF THE CLIFF, JUMP DAMMIT! LOL 
 Any signet whales out there? Pls sir

(No, mutinynet won't work for what I'm doing) 
 whacha buildin' now? :) 
 I meant to post from my account but you get the gist.  yes i am interested - let's goooo API/SDK! LOL 
 how does this thing work?  
 it works, just not in the way I thought it was supposed to. 😂


maybe i should wait until @`cloud fodder`comes back before i start spamming the entire nostr network again LOL 
 Oh so that's why!!! LOL 
 Do you actively use the moonboi relay?

 My X account got suspended. I am not told what post(s) or action(s) caused this.

I had over 10k ... 
 Congratulations, and Welcome to Freedom, Sir. 
 Tell me that he uses Nostr right? Right? nostr:note12m4l2n76eamaaly6wv4sysu7gvz4cxl4aw50m8raltqjf... 
 They will now. :D I forecast a Stampede coming to #Nostr soon 
 I still post on other socials, but I treat it like a small gamble. Very risky with limited reward... 
 I am still waiting for the moment where my posts on nostr that cross over to Xitter via nos social bridge cause X to ban. 
 If in the future you receive a note from me like this, how would you react?

"After some delibera... 
 You are a cool Mike 
 I am just wondering what is the best way to handle a large stack of DM messages to a friend list that should not be made public. do we giftwrap all of them or pick a select relay that is app specific for this stack of DMs?

the "right way" to do things on nostr feels like its moving and changing constantly so I am just asking
