 User choice is fucking powerful. This needs to be made more apparent. 
 What you did was clever 

But you made the user think 

And then question themselves because they don’t actually understand the decisions they’re making 

You forced them into cognitive dissonance 

Never make the user think

 # Hello folks,

You may have heard (or not because I’m terrible at communicating) I have been incredibly unproductive with creating laser cut art because I have been busy working with guys more intelligent and skilled than me, building Plebeian.

## What is it?

On the surface Plebeian is a P2P marketplace… but this isn’t quite true… Plebeian.Market is not the destination, it’s just a demonstration of the Plebeian app… it's going to help us move from Globalisation to Localisation in the most peaceful way possible… I will explain more about what this means as time goes by 

For now it’s easy to think of Plebeian as a love child of Ebay, Wordpress, Twitter, Shopify and Telegram… it’s not normal

## Eh? What?

Localisation and a Bitcoin Standard promotes self sovereignity at the individual and community level... what is needed in this time is a Circular Economic Community Builder 

Like I say, I will explain more about this as time goes by 

The project actually started 4 years ago and we’ve pivoted many times as the Bitcoin layers have evolved...  This is a world of pure innovation after all and it is not for the faint hearted.

## Last Pivot 

6 months ago we pivoted for the very last time to build it from scratch as 100% nostr native.

The demonstration you see at plebeian.market will be sunset into the realms of Bitcoin history 

## New Solution

It's Free Open Source Software and we're starting with a GNU General Public License v3.0

You can see the new solution here: 

https://staging.plebeian.market/

## Play with it

Please test it and tell us of any issues in the Telegram group here: 

https://t.me/PlebeianMarket

Or if your feeling like getting more involved create an issue on GitHub:

https://github.com/PlebeianTech/plebeian.market/issues

## Eating Zee Bugz

Right now we are in the Beta testing phase and are very close to pushing it to the live site... just one last bug ser?

As always we'd love to hear your thoughts... please play with it... create a stall add a product... tinker with the Circular Economic Community Builder... what do you think?  what would you like to see?

We will eventually develop our own in app group but for now please do join the Telegram group: 

https://t.me/PlebeianMarket

 It’s pretty open for people to fork and play around under the condition they reference where it came from and use the same license 

We will move to a MIT or Creative Commons license or the most free one further down the road

 I hope so… we’ve not tested that… please go ahead and test a slogin with it 

Works fine with Alby and Nostr Connect 

If it doesn’t work let us know 👍 
 Apologies… I didn’t realise they’d popped out

 Does it have to be physical? 

We transact ecash offline 
 Trust like trusting someone writing you a cheque 

Minibits (on my Android) has a nice feature whilst offline for sending sats in exact ecash denominations 

Whilst offline (on my iOS) I’m using https://wallet.cashu.me/ to scan qr code… it recognises it and sticks it in a queue for later… when I get online I can redeem it 

If the sender hasn’t reverted it, or cancelled the cheque, not ideal but possible 

Among a local community there would be more trust… I’m thinking in an extreme scenario 

Then there’s interesting things such as this https://offline.cash/

 🤣 dooooo iiiiit 
 Jeeez planes trains and automobiles 

Epic journey 

Proof of travel 
 Hello ser… looking forward to meeting you too… and hearing about Angor 👌 
 the people on nostr are some of the smartest and coolest i’ve ever got to know. who cares if it... 
 Still very early Will… there’s some incredible innovations just around the corner… they’re going hit like a tsunami  

I was only at Sovereign Engineering for the first 10 days and it blew my mind 
 Periodic reminder to keep a max of 3 relays in your outbox and inbox relay lists. 

There are too... 
 Will this not centralise the relays to the big 3? 

It seems counter intuitive because we don’t want to miss other people’s posts and we want everyone to see ours 

But we also want to decentralise 

Help… I need more education 
 If the 3 relays actually relayed my data onto many other relays then I’d understand 

But if they don’t do that then the people I want to see my posts will  have to have these 3 relays in their outbox right? 

Sorry I’m not quite understanding it so dont feel the need to reply 

What I can see though is that there is a massive incentive to run your own relay (off a node or vps) so that you have true data sovereignty AND you (or major content producers/communitues) can then prompt people to subscribe to your relay 
 Without knowing that (and pretend I'm a normie) I am inclined to just use the biggest names I recognise like damus and I am also going to include any paid relay because I'm assuming they're going to do a better job than a free service 

Lastly (as a normie) I'm inclined to simply copy the same three relays from the outbox list to the inbox list because I don't understand the difference 

I'm only half being serious here (playing devils advocate) because I do appreciate what you are trying acheive but as a user the app is really making me think... 

I just want to set it and forget it... I'd be happy if this was automated for me 

I've paid for nostr.wine so I'm just going to put them in every section of that relay setup page 1st then damus second and another big name 3rd 

Not too sure if thus Feedback useful to you but I hope it helps  
 I highly recommend people read through the replies and answers by nostr:nprofile1qqsyvrp9u6p0mfur9dfdru3d853tx9mdjuhkphxuxgfwmryja7zsvhqppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qythwumn8ghj7anfw3hhytnwdaehgu339e3k7mf0qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tch2deau about Amethyst and its dynamic relays... Its quite the learning curve on nostr... Its like an AMA... and he's all over it like a beast... No question has gone unanswered... Hugely insightful... Respect 🫡

SEC-03 has been an inspirational brain melt… I could only stay for the first 10 days but was blown away… they’re there for 2 months… it’s truly a special event and an organic gathering of brilliant and creative minds bouncing ideas and solving problems for humanity

 where does one buy bitcoin art?

is there a dedicated website?

#gm frens 🤗 
 Bitcoin Talk forum (Bitcoin Collectables) was the original marketplace 

Then scarce.city was the first for doing Lightning auctions, I’m slightly biased (honorary founder)

Now there’s a scattering of other sites with groups of artists but using fiat platforms unfortunately 

Plebeian.Market (founder I’m biased) will have a dedicated marketplace for artist soon but 100% on nostr bitcoin 

You can check out my old personal website for shits and giggles… laser cut bitcoin and nostr “art” 😉

 Anyone know this device? 

She mentions “Signal” a couple of times… can nostr fix this (eventually) or SimpleX/matrix now? 
https://m.primal.net/LiBF.mov 
 That’s a quality idea 

I’m not surprised Whatsapp is there… Signal I am though  

The report also claims it’s reading passwords… so how secure is LastPass or BitWarden? 

I’m guessing, so long as they are closed to begin with they are ok since they require a password to open 
 Me too I’d wipe it without a second thought. 

This is why you shouldn’t rely on Face ID to open but always put a pin in 

If you refuse to open it they’ll detain you for as long as possible… could start trying to brute force it… but if you wipe it, they literally have nothing… actually quite fancy the latter… more satisfying
