 definitely ask @brugeman about amber with nostr-login, we haven't had anyone talk about successful usage on amber yet

 old habits are hard to break, but they will change. eventually. 
 OMG this is working so much better. Thank you, now i don't have flip flop as much between other clients 
 
Some good food for thought on Nostr Algorithms from  @1440000bytes

 would you prefer an organic search? or maybe an AI generated one? 

i noticed that unleashed.chat has something like this, but its very early stage. 
 FWIW, I can't even keep up with my feeds these days, its getting quite agonizing and yes we need to solve the problem soon 
 Academia does not live in the Real World. 

Nor do they understand real marketplaces. 
 Nostr would be in a better place if we could follow topics. 

But it seems topics require algorit... 
 how does one use the algos in some of these clients?

 Hard to believe, but also not hard to believe

X is going the way of CCP China WeChat. 

Soon you can't eat if you shitpost anti-gov stuff.

 Btw, on a personal note: 

Wake me up when we have #nostrafrica in capetown

Until then I am kinda asleep wrt to conferences.  😝

 Sure thing, I’m going to organise Nostralia and it’s going to have a breakdancing session wit... 
 Killer! Go get’m babe! 
 Just do it, Nostralia doesnt need anybody’s permission. 

Bitcoin is permission-less, and so is #nostr

It  doesn’t take a genius to make a conference, only a good organizer.

 Understandably australia is far away. But it doesn’t mean nostr conferences cant piggy back on existing dev centric conferences such as btc++. If you want devs at a nostr conference then we should hit up @niftynei , don’t have to depend on Odell and crew. 
 Btc++ is heavily dev focused, nostr could be an add on to that 
 Is there no bitcoin conference in australia? @tigs 
 Personally i’d like to see less dependence on just odell and crew picking/directing nostr conferences but maybe in due time this will happen 
 Yeah and i ain’t gonna go back to asia anytime soon. So totally over it

 We have downsized our relay network.

 How many users were on the relayable network when it was at $1500/mo?

 This is good feedback and the reply above some wise insight into tiktok.

 No idea on MS teams, as i dont use microsoft. But feel free to drop us feedback and try hivetalk out with frens 
 Best place to send feedback is DM or on telegram. Thanks 
 In general you dont want to paste your nsec into an app, as a best practice nostr is moving away from that, and towards browser extensions. We’ll take your feedback into account. Thanks 
 @brugeman  can possibly help you with this as he wrote the nostr login extension 
 @NEW1  , can you help Lady Mae? Thanks 
 Do you just need an alby code? If yes i can DM you one 
 No. It will be a web app only. We are currently only p2p funded as volunteers only, so it won’t be run at a corporate pace. 
 Do keep in mind this is all beta, unfunded or underfunded software, so best not have microsoft level expectations just yet 
 I really don’t get it nostr:note122zgdh2d6gx5v5ydmqjtwcy3rztjxte25rphssfl6r2qtua2fc5sventkz 
 When the VC money dries up, its gone. *poof*
Wait until the financial crisis comes in, everyone wanna nostr cuz lightning. Also remember this thing called, MySpace? :D hehehe 
 How can we get Bluesky banned in Brazil now? 
 When bluesky runs out of VC money . Game over. 

It’s just a waiting game now. They wont make it, ignore the inflated SV numbers. 
 Believe me it happens all the time in SV. Just be patient. 
 I can't really relate to most of the people with large amounts of Bitcoin talking about the price... 
 This is truth. Many early adopters were trolled, trashed and dumped on, and that wasn't easy to take. I can't even begin to count the number of times I've heard "bitcoin is only for stupid cucks gambling".  

The Same fucking situation with Nostr in like 2020-21, "you dumb bitch, that nostr thing is going nowhere, its unusable and useless" 

if you can handle people continuously shitting on you for years, its not about luck anymore. 

Early adopters always get the brunt. Conviction is not about "luck". Hanging on is difficult and you have to be okay with social rejection 1000x. 
 The only “dumb bitches” are the ones calling others it 🤣 
 Nostr is becoming less of a sausage fest and maybe that threatens some here. 
 💯 
 Wow! Never would have thought that we would not have a democratic process on Nostr. I find it amu... 
 Just do it, Nostralia doesnt need anybody’s permission 
 Incredible Projects that take well over a year in planning, hundreds of volunteers, distributed globally, DIY makerspaces, self organizing collectives, independent fabrication. You are only limited by your imagination.

 Do you see the parallel?

 Nah not this year. Went 5 times many years ago. I still enjoy thinking about the mind expanding experiences and looking at the photos. Have you been?  
 Ya i think  @Noshole ‘d totally dig it if she’s okay with getting dirty. It’s a hella lot of work tho, to pack it in/out, thats when having a well coordinated cohort is a strength. 
 It’ll look even more rad with you in it 🧡😁 
 100%. 

VCs just create artificial growth. most don't make it past Series D
