A Bitcoin company ultimately doesn't want to hold your funds for you, allowing you to freely move around the Bitcoin ecosystem. A Nostr company should function in similar capacity, not holding your identity, allowing you to move around from client to client as you please.


Okay thank you


Ah that makes sense, they were search relays. So as long as I keep one in there the app will be happy and not add any more?


We don’t need web browsers anymore. Few understand this.


That's probably better, I'll try this next time I introduce someone. Thanks!


Whenever I explain it to someone new I just say it's 9 decimal places of a Bitcoin so it's really small and can be used for day to day tx's and they get it, I don't understand what the big deal is, not just you it's everyone yk

Damn these paste couple of days my sugar cravings have been through the roof, not having any though I am persevering 🤙🏻🤙🏻


There are also some relays that won't let me remove them they keep coming back...

What is the best degoogled YouTube app for Android?


Alby only?

You know it's called Nostr Wallet Connect right? Not Alby Wallet Connect?


I know everybody is dunking on the random governor who decided that she could just wave her hand and unilaterally suspend any right she dislikes simply by hissing the word "emergency," but the problem is that she's only wrong if another political force — the courts, politics, disobedience, or Locke's old Appeal to Heaven — proves her wrong. Enforcing the limits of official power isn't some American $currentYear problem, it's a recurring issue throughout history.

The question is why we're suddenly seeing the authoritarian instinct activating so much more openly — and frequently. In prior decades, they had to be cute in how they went about it, often requiring laws and lies. Now they're remarkably comfortable simply stating "because of the 'emergency,' you can no longer {travel | donate | engage in commerce | read | communicate | carry}," and that's the whole of it.

The next question is what you're going to do about it.


Okayyy thank you I appreciate the reply!


nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr is the android app going to reach feature parity with ios soon or will it always be playing catch-up to ios?


Starting to get some friends on nostr:npub1exv22uulqnmlluszc4yk92jhs2e5ajcs6mu3t00a6avzjcalj9csm7d828 now and they're liking it!! I'm happy bc security🤣🤣


Yes all working, nice!


Convert it to hex sir


Appreciate the reply :)

May I humbly request a simple "follows + replies" optional tab to be added? I'm sure there are some people like myself that would prefer to use that, thank you for your hard work by the way I'm loving the app!


I've downloaded fedora because that's supposedly pretty secure, some prefer other flavours for gaming but I don't really game anymore. I'm too focused on uni lol


Holy shit THANK YOU! this app is so so nice and cleannnn


Bahahahahaha, I recently started messing around with Linux on my PC but was still sticking to ios, no more though!!!


nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z just installed amethyst, is there no feed that combines posts and replies together? I like having just one combined and scrolling rhough...

Cool that’s good to know :) thank you for all the advice really!! Appreciate you🤙🏻


Thanks for the info! Yes I am eating nose to tail, although I haven’t had any organ meats yet but I love liver anyway I used to eat that a lot before I started the cleanse. I’m actually planning on having a bbq on Sunday and will be having some beef liver then so I’m excited for that🤣🤣

In terms of the fish I agree with you when it comes to the mercury content, that’s definitely important to keep an eye on. Do you eat oily fish with skin on? I normally do but I have been advised against it due to the mercury.

With the eggs I am fortunate to not react badly(not sure whether it’s the quality of the eggs I’m getting from local British farmers or just me being a little more resilient to them, but they’ve got some healthy fats too so I like having 3-5 for breakfast just scrambled.


In terms of metaphors for #cashu nostr:npub1dx5q2el8nd4eh3eg9t2e25fd7zuqg7zxz6ldkc3uzgh66ss2yc6st288sj , this is what I’m thinking (out loud) for newbs.

In terms of privacy it’s like when you go to the atm to withdraw cash, the bank can see how much cash you withdrew (in this case lighting) but not where you are spending the cash (your cashu mint tokens). Should you need to put cash (mint tokens) back into your account, you can deposit cash back to your account via the atm (withdraw tokens to lightning and send out to lightning wallet).

So cashu has great privacy benefits even over and above lightning and is ideal for a community P2P system. I love it


Thanks dude🤙🏻


Can you define what nose to tail means?

I started off doing this elimination diet www.liondiet.com but after 10 days my heartburn and swelling in my knees went away so I assume I wasn’t severe and didn’t need to “cleanse” for around 3 months like they said you should do it up to on their website. So on the 10th day I reintroduced eggs and just yesterday on the 16th day I reintroduced fish by having some wild smoked mackerel which was extremely satiating and yummy since it’s very oily and fatty😋lots of omega 3 and such. So at the moment my diet consists of ruminant meat(beef, lamb etc), eggs, and oily fish such as sardines, mackerel and salmon(wild caught only) I love shellfish though like prawns and stuff so if I find some wild caught I will have some here and there too, but unfortunately in the UK where I currently live almost everything is farmed so I have to avoid!!


wtf that’s so cool I didn’t know that🤣🤣🤣ill look into them!


How do you swim and listen to podcasts🤨


I meant seed oils by the way*🤣🤣


I’ve gone carnivore diet 17 days ago and I’m loving it, I started swimming training again(I stopped 5 years ago) beginning of this month and obviously included in the carnivore diet is 0 fish oils and anything similar. After a 3 day period of carb withdrawal and major headaches I feel so much better, I had so much brain fog that I didn’t even realise until it went, I have so much more energy and I’m naturally losing fat mass without even swimming but I’m doing that too and gaining a lot of muscle, I’ve lost 5kg so far and it’s all healthy weight loss because I was like 10/15kg overweight💀, but overall it’s going well I think :))) thank you for the advice!!


That’s the plan💯


I’ll be honest at the start of Covid I was a normie and unfortunately I am triple vaxxed😭I regret it so so much because it started to cause me issues but I’m trying my best to move on and not make any stupid decisions like that again. Solution to the slight heart problems it’s given me is to get very very fit and increase my heart health overall so as much as I regret getting the vax it was also kind of like a wake up call/turning point and now I’m going in a much better direction in life!

Gaining muscle mass slowly as wellll. Hopefully can end up around 75 ish and then just gain muscle mass from there that would be amazing when I reach my goal I shall post before and after pics because i still don’t look to my liking right now but wow the difference is already obvious not just in the looks but how I feel as well. I haven’t felt this good since before covid lockdowns happened and I turned into a lazy fucker🤣🤣happy to be active again. Thank you to everyone posting updates and transformations on here you really helped motivate me to get going, and to anyone out there looking some motivation, maybe this will be the post that does it for you. I love you nostr 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

Usernames started loading after force restart, just need to force the data upon first inputting the npub :)


No they all just show npub, no username or pfp


Nah but if the state had to use sound money and couldn’t just print their way out of everything then democracy would vote a leader who actually has good priorities(reducing crime, improving road networks etc.), when that happens and people start to see actual things improving, if the state wanted to slightly increase tax to improve more things, there would be actual trust between people and state, any government that doesn’t budget correctly will worsen quality of life(much more drastic when it’s actual things you can see not just currency losing value because I don’t know why normies don’t understand/refuse to believe that🤣) and so they will get voted off asap, I think it would be so drastic that you would probably have a revolution in a lot of place and it could get violent if sound money is forced on society drastically because government at the start will be full of the scammer shitheads that are still there currently. So basically fuck current state yes but sound money will bring actual decent people in power because it will be too obvious who is decent and who isn’t, therefore with time it will be okay. The best government is one that governs as little as possible, but things like police will always be needed because some people are fuckers and will do things like steal, murder, rape etc.


Okay thank you :)


nostr:npub1dx5q2el8nd4eh3eg9t2e25fd7zuqg7zxz6ldkc3uzgh66ss2yc6st288sj is the benefit then that custodians don’t know what I’m transacting? Like for example if WOS supported this they wouldn’t have access to my transaction info? Also if I send sats to someone’s lnurl is it still private?

I don’t use primal mainly I use Damus, but I guess you have to tap on the reply in the notifications tab? Also just wanna clarify that I’m not on primals side🤣they should have implemented a feed with replies very early on so you can actually interact with people, but we move


The default feed in primal only loads posts, not replies. It is beyond me why they haven’t implemented a feed with replies yet but i think that’s the reason🤣


What do you mean by this? Your relay list is linked to ur npub, if u login to another client it should respect your relay list and pull the data from there

nostr will amass an arsenal of interoperable applications that will become too hard to ignore.


Honestly I’m not sure my friend 🤣


There are flags that you can put in your config file for your node which will set all the settings, for example on bitcoin core 25 you can set replace by fee to true but it’s not on by default, likewise there are other things you can disable

It’s amazing to me that the world is still obsessed with low fat diets. So many products cut out the natural fat, and what remains is just a sugar fest.

Fly on an long distant flight- constantly offered breads, juices, fat free yogurts, etc. Sugar bomb after sugar bomb. I usually fast on planes.

At a breakfast buffet right now. Eggs fried in seed oil. The butter packets are mixed with seed oil. Juices and fruits everywhere. Coffee machines whose only milk option is fat free skim milk. The main area is waffles and syrup. The child at the table next to me has a breakfast plate with chocolate-covered waffles, french fries, and juice- just layers of carbs and sugar. One has to dig into the corners of the room to find the meat and boiled eggs and such.


Thank you for this


I’m currently doing carnivore 🤣only 2 weeks in but very happy with it to be honest. I am much more alert mentally and physically and I’m getting rid of excess body fat at a nice pace. We will see if it’s sustainable as I can’t comment on that yet, but even as a “cleanse elimination” diet it seems to be pretty good


The only decent thing about twitter was birdwatch/community notes. Would it be possible to implement a similar system here and keep it decentralised? How would that work🤨


It’s hot but the problem is it’s 92% humidity like ok how am I supposed to breathe 🤣🤣🤣 currently having a cold shower to cool off at 4am🥲


Dust has finally settled on the “Primal censorship” drama. That’s good to see, but I don’t want to sweep this episode under the rug. It is probably appropriate to do a post mortem, assess what has happened and see what we can learn. Let’s make sure that Nostr is a better place after this episode.

Two weeks ago, Primal’s trending algorithm was attacked by bots. The attacker generated hundreds of thousands of reactions, propping his note to the top of our trending feed. At the time, our only defence was a simple “can’t trend” list, so we put the attacker on it. He immediately posted on Nostr, accusing us of censorship, but his note never took off. The attacker then selected a few well liked Nostr accounts and started stuffing the ballot box for them. We saw a bunch of bogus notes with massive bot engagement, so we resorted to the only blunt tool we had. The attacker jumped on the opportunity to publicize the fact that some well liked accounts were being suppressed on Primal and accused us of “shadowbanning”. The whole thing exploded on Nostr.

What followed was a pretty tough week for Primal. Many of our users turned against us. They took the idea of shadowbanning seriously, as they should. Most feedback was in good spirits, people making fun of Primal via memes. But we also got a fair bit of hate from complete strangers, which was super-weird. All in all, Nostr users were clear about what they think of censorship. This was the Nostr immune system reacting. Being on the receiving end of it really sucked, but still it’s beautiful to see!

The crazy part is that those “shadowbanned” accounts were actually perfectly visible throughout the entire Primal site. They had *exactly* the same level of visibility as they do on Damus, Snort, Coracle, and other Nostr clients. They just couldn’t show up in our trending bar. I tried to explain, but there was little room for nuance with the drama in full swing.

So we decided to disengage temporarily, focus on building, and let our product do the talking. We made our trending algorithm more resistant to bots and removed everyone from the “can’t trend” list. We also built a new content moderation system for Nostr, giving complete control to the user. This is our best take on how to do content moderation on such a radically open network. I cover the features and our reasoning in my blog post below.

So Primal is strictly a better product after this episode. But what about Nostr itself?

Attacks can be useful. While they disrupt our systems and really suck for us and our users, they do force us to improve and become more competent at operating in an adversarial environment. However, we should be careful about making it socially acceptable for Nostr devs to attack other projects in broad daylight. That’s not the most productive way to collaborate. It also creates weird vibes which I think we don’t want here. Nostr is in its infancy and the way we act will set the tone for things to come. There is so much to build and we are all working as fast as we can. At Primal we build open source software and run services for Nostr. If you don’t like the way something works, fork it and do your own thing. If you want to contribute, we accept PRs. If you have found a vulnerability, there are multiple good ways to disclose it.

As for Nostr users, I think you all reacted perfectly. Push back hard at any whiff of censorship. When in doubt, mercilessly create memes, point out things that are wrong, and don’t let up. Even if the target is Primal.

If Primal is real, it can stand the pressure. 🤙💜

You should try to get off muun asap my friend, it was my first “lightning wallet” too. However they are not a real lighting wallet, your funds are held on layer 1 bitcoin network on chain, and when bitcoin transaction fees are high, your transactions fees on lighting will be too, which isn’t how lightning should be at all. I would recommend phoenix wallet for you as a starter sir.


Okay firstly I just wanna say im not arguing and I believe we are having a productive conversation, sorry for seeming like I just blatantly disagree/coming at you in the previous message.

Concerning your question, you’re asking why I would go back to them. Mutiny have been pretty vocal about the roadmap down the line, including things like implementing splicing, taproot channels, ability to use different LSP’s. I think the goal for them ultimately is max privacy with little to no fiddling around the settings I.e. the perfect noob wallet for orange pilling someone for example. That’s how I like to think of it, I keep testing because I am bullish about bitcoin + lightning and I prefer to see things for myself rather than someone just telling me “this lightning wallet is pretty good” otherwise everyone will only use a handful of wallets and that will lead to centralisation, which no one wants.


I don’t think like that, if a product used to be bad, but receives major improvements and becomes good. And I use it after said improvements and like the UX, then it’s good and I can recommend it. Just because something used to be bad doesn’t mean it always will be. The more lightning wallets we have the better, competition will lead to great features being thought up/implemented because everyone will want to be the best. I love the free market and so should you ;)


100% agree

nostr:note1c0z0g7k94z6pgk60kwkelm23mhvd3melt73srhr8d7ck70wp9tusw8xqn8


Hence why I force closed my channels and stopped using mutiny🤣I think their heart is in the right place but their implementation is too early on, they will improve and then we will use them. That’s how the cookie crumbles


Yeah I’m totally sure this guy somehow managed to pay for three subscription relays but doesn’t have a NIP-05 and hasn’t confirmed a post from this npub anywhere else.

And people wonder how scammers become so successful… https://nostr.build/i/199c52bff6435fa4fcb84cd75c89366f39a943e30a2da387716c5a17adaa9728.jpg


Imo, some people are overreacting to the BRC-20 spam. That’s what fees are for, and meme coin speculators only have so much capital to burn, and only so many followers to use as exit liquidity.

It’s good for users and devs to constantly evaluate the incentive model to make sure it works, and to see what minor long-term consensus changes might be useful over time. But there is no need for knee jerk reactions for things- the desire to constantly tweak a monetary system in response to stimuli is why fiat currency and other crypto currencies exist.

One of the key things that made me turn from interested in bitcoin to bullish on bitcoin was the resolution of the Blocksize War in favor of the small blockers.

I initiated coverage of bitcoin/crypto in 2017, and watched the forks play out. The fact that the big blockers weren’t able to overcome the node network helped me see over the next couple years how bitcoin stands apart in terms immutability and decentralization. And that is still the case.


That will 4x fees, fees have already 500x'd, they don't care about fees


History has been made today and you were a part of it.


The one significant positive of the fee spike, despite it being caused by excessive garbage not even related to Bitcoin’s value, is that it makes every exchange which hasn’t integrated #Lightning look reeeeaaaalllly stupid.


More like vitor is doing something extremely disruptive to the rest of nostr and he doesn’t seem to care. Oh well, it’s his users who will suffer. I am no longer going to recommmend amethyst and point users to plebstr instead.


She talked my ear off about the federal reserve and monetary debasement. She said all of the right things about why we need Bitcoin. She also didn't know about Lightning. That doesn't mean she doesn't get it. She knows something is wrong with our current system and that's good enough for me. 🫂
