Yeah seeing more notifications and such appear here on damus than primal atm.

Just curious; how do you have your lightning wallet set up?


I’ve been experiencing the same thing. Any intel?


I have a strike wallet, but if you have a primal client you can use the default wallet there. Or you can try Zeus or blue wallet. There’s quite a few


Great one. Start tagging nostr:npub1v02emwxjn2lznkmnszltjy4c7cqzxuejkmye0zeqs62wf0shpahswdmwuj / #noicemag #minimqlcomicplay in the photos!


I find cutating in general a very nice activity. Both doing it myself, but I also get inspired by curated content. I found, for example, multiple very interesting photographers through your Noice website 👌


I’m not sure to be honest. I will say, that Dr Jack Kruse was the one that got me to pay attention and learn more about light, and then he mentioned bitcoin and nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle in a YouTube video. Coming from a neurosurgeon, I think that was something to revisit. I’ve been in btc since 2021


Hmm I was thinking about this as well I’ve seen highlighter but haven’t dove in quite yet


Lately, I’ve been struggling to learn Nostr, and I’m starting to realize that I’m not the fastest when it comes to picking up new technical things.

It’s a slow, sometimes chaotic process for me, but oddly enough, I still enjoy it. Maybe I’m like one of those leaves that takes its time falling from the tree—moving gradually, unpredictably, but still finding its way.

There’s something fascinating about watching leaves fall from a tree—their journey from branch to ground is both chaotic and graceful. Each leaf, though coming from the same source, follows its own unique path. Some flutter down slowly, others twist and turn unpredictably, while a few glide smoothly to their destination. No two leaves follow the exact same course, yet they all come from the same tree.

It’s a simple but powerful metaphor I think for us as individuals. Just as each leaf has its own characteristics and pace, so do we.

We all come from the same source—humanity—but the rate at which we achieve our goals, and the way we navigate life, varies. Some of us take winding paths, others move forward with precision, but all of us are on our own journey, shaped by who we are and where we come from.

The beauty lies in the individuality of the process—no two paths are alike, yet they all lead to the same ground.

Got it downloaded and it’s sync’ing now! How long does this take? I’m on iOS btw
https://m.primal.net/KiKi.png


Thank you!


All starts with an underground movement, until it’s a fruit body. The mycelium network is very much the same way.


How do? I’d love to figure out how I can contribute in a way pertaining to the photography community. I run a publication called nostr:npub1v02emwxjn2lznkmnszltjy4c7cqzxuejkmye0zeqs62wf0shpahswdmwuj and I’d love to team up with some devs that could help me expand and grow here


From what I’ve seen!


I’m in it! Looking forward to contribute and learn along the way


Is that an account here or website? Link me!


Also, I just tried zapping you but I’m getting this error message
https://m.primal.net/KiJh.png


Hmm few things in there that I’m not familiar with such as when you say “NWC to zap out”. I’d really like to get your help in setting something like that up!


I use Backblaze.com for backing up photos. It’s simple and unlimited in storage. 9 bucks a month


Interesting I will check it out! Are you using that address on multiple clients, and does it work? I use primal, and nostrudel atm. But I have tried my strike wallet; that gives me problems on nostrudel, but works on primal
Do you run a node yourself?


Great, thank you for that.
I believe I have a lot more to learn first about how to run a node. I certainly want to obtain self sovereign status on lightning eventually. I do have that for my btc and hold on cold storage with my seed phrase. So, at least I do practice that in some respect.
What is the running cost of having an alby hub?


Ah, okay I believe I understand now thank you very much. Is that a one time payment; to open the channel?

It’s Saturday, which means it’s time for SATURDAY SHARE!

In the spirit of building a vibrant photography community here, we invite everyone to share their recent work from the week—or an all-time favorite.

It’s a great opportunity to connect with others, exchange ideas, and explore how we see the world through photography.

Jump in, share, and introduce yourself below!

Gm! Time to stack more sats!


I don’t think I am able to download that here in the United States. I do have a strike account, but for some reason it does not seem to work well across some clients, such as nostrudel. My primal address does though.


Okay, so I have downloaded the Alby Hub for desktop and have connected the wallet. However, I am still unable to see the 10 sats in the wallet.
Please see screenshot attached
Side note* I’m having difficulty uploading images on desktop and mobile.
https://m.primal.net/KiCI.png


Bad and incompetent leaders do


I’m not sure how to do that! I apologize for being such a noob here but if I could get some help in understanding how to do this would be amazing. I tried connecting using the browser extension but it seems that I am doing something incorrect.

I also don’t understand the benefit of using alby when my primal wallet works fine for sending and receiving zaps here? Is using alby the only way to accept zaps on damus and across other clients?


It would be great to figure out why I'm not seeing the 10 sats in the account as well. I'm sure that I am not configuring my alby node properly as I do believe that is a paid subscription that I am not currently paying for


Gm!
I’m not sure exactly. I went to set up alby using the browser extension, and tried sending a test payment to myself using the alby address I created. I’m not able to see the sats in the account though as you can tell from the screenshot.


Awesome thank you so much.

I have tried using my alby wallet in damus, but it seems to be not connecting properly. Instead, I reenabled my primal wallet and I am now wondering if I am able to receive zaps from damus into my primal wallet. I tried connecting my strike wallet (which I prefer to use) to my primal, but I have had others tell me they are unable to send zaps in other clients, such as nostrudel. I’m confused why this may be the case.
https://m.primal.net/KhdL.png


I created my alby account a few days ago yes


I’m getting this error myself when trying to zap myself on primal using my alby address, colincz@getalby.com https://image.nostr.build/f77a0c8a0371736dc628f7131fd56be33b7e4137776ba8e4417bab1aaeb50b79.jpg


Gn nostr fam!!

One last request for the night:

would someone mind trying to send me a zap on Damus? I recently connected my alby wallet to my Damus client and I want to make sure it’s working. Does sending a zap via primal send to my primal wallet, or does it go to my alby wallet?

I did try sending something before, but the 10 sats is not showing in the account. Why is this?

#asknostr https://image.nostr.build/9bd964bf6a6cb0c83667ec0fb32d968e712d2fbb4f6ee0c3fd1f626a5007e25a.jpg


Could be cool!


Ahaha true!


Soak in that sun as well!


Very helpful, thank you so much. As of right now, I am mostly using primal (I have iOS) and nostrudel, but also currently logged into iris so what you’re saying makes sense; to reduce the amount of clients that I am using at once. What is history.something relay? I will try and find that list


Let’s go fam! Cutting out that stuff is great. It’s best to reduce down to simplicity and allow your body to utilize what it’s meant to. Also, pay attention to the light you consume and during what parts of the day; ie blue light from devices. Really messes with your mitochondrial light and dark cycles


My favorite from yesterday’s walk.

Photography, for me, is a form of release—letting my attention and curiosity wander freely, allowing moments to unfold naturally.

Feel free to send sats to support my work 🤝🏼

Tried to upload a video but it didn’t work 😔


It’s not strong enough, you need to go into settings, accessibility, display and text and go to color filters. You can make a shortcut so that you can turn it on and off; that’s how have it set up. A great application to use for laptop is Iris

I have a personal rule for that; phone off by 8pm, and not back on until 8am. Gotta restrict that 420nm blue light for better circadian rhythm


Happened to me last night. Cant' stop thinking about Nostr and everything that I still don't understand

Would you mind helping me with my relays? Doing my best to try and understand everything but it’s still rather confusing for me. I appreciate the willingness; shoot me a dm if that is okay!


Thank you!!


Can someone please help me with my relays?

I’m not sure what is going on here. Everything was working fine when I posted from noStrudel; it would show also on primal and etc but now they aren’t. I’m also not receiving notifications from other events such as comments or mentions. Iris is showing notifications that noStrudel is not.

I would really appreciate someone helping me with this as I do not understand how to fix this myself!

Here‘s a few favorites from yesterday’s walk. Didn’t have too much time…

I’m hoping that my photography can be appreciated here. It’s been difficult for me to monetize my work in a more efficient, direct way, so I hope that it may have a place here on Nostr.

I’d also like to implement more interactive content such as organizing virtual meetups or conducting interviews with other photographers for nostr:npub1v02emwxjn2lznkmnszltjy4c7cqzxuejkmye0zeqs62wf0shpahswdmwuj Or even reviewing photo books that I think may inspire other people.

Hmm interesting point. You’re referring to Nostr as social media? I can feel and see quite a difference between using the two protocols; ie Instagram and here. I feel as though the community here is a “brighter bunch” and more open to creative ideas. Perhaps this is what learning about bitcoin does and is a prerequisite


My thinking as well


I’m just curious, how sharing your work on Nostr and embracing bitcoin has encouraged you or even improve your income stream for your paintings?


Well can you share a bit for yourself and your painting?


Ah that sounds so fun. Would love to go with a group of photo friends. I've never done anything like that really, other than the occasional photo walk in NYC


I bet! Where exactly did you go, and stay?


I’ve always wanted to go to Iceland to photograph


Amazing lol


Can you share more how Nostr and bitcoin has helped you in sharing your art? I’d love to learn more for embracing my photography here 🤝🏼


Gm fam!


Is this the m262? Haha


Expensive though!


Gm Nostr fam

As I was flipping through my Stephen Shore book this morning, I found a photo and a quote that resonated a bit with me…

“Art is truth” - JFK

How true it is. Reminds me of Plato when he contemplates what the good, the true and the beautiful are.

The beautiful is always easiest to discern.

It’s the way! I highly recommend reading “scale” by Geoffrey West. Really simple read but profound https://youtu.be/ncDE_V5RAQc?si=HRJxSWEUZFe0JFj8


That’s sick haha


Life in itself is trading! It’s the ebb and flow of everything


Ahaha. Is there an M262 gun??


Yep!


I’m originally from Georgia, USA but I currently bounce back and forth between South Carolina and New Jersey. Quite the polar opposites ha


Woops forgot the photo
https://m.primal.net/Kfnu.jpg


Out shooting with the M262 today. Let’s see what we get


Curating your own photography is as crucial as creating the work itself.

The ability to cut the fat and say "no" reflects both strength and wisdom.

It's about reducing excess and finding clarity in your vision.

#photography #noicemag #minimalcomicplay #artstr #v4v


Beautiful. How is the economy and way of life there? Taxes?


Oh, I’ve been into this for a few years. I’m a long term trader for sure, and bitcoin is the one thing to do that with.

I was coached by Justine Williams (the legendary Bill Williams) over at Profitunity for a few years. We trade using Elliot wave and fractals. The best way, as bitcoin and all of human nature are fractals


Blame it on Hal


I never said that I know. And it is my opinion. But I do have a map of where and what it could do. History doesn’t repeat exactly, but it does rhyme

Bitcoin follows a power law. It’s quite easy to see the overall picture when you view and understand it from this way
https://m.primal.net/Kfgz.png


Always stacking especially now


Probably yeah


After election


I’d say it’s fairly predictable. All about patience and having a plan as well. Understand that bitcoin follows a power law and you’re ahead of most.

I’m seeing a retest of 50k and then it’s back up to continue the bull cycle

Ahhh interesting, thank you!

In regards to the posts not showing up in some clients, is that due to relays??


Is that where you are currently?

And yeah completely agree haha


I noticed that some of my posts and such are not appearing in Nostur. Is this having to do with the relays? How do I trouble shoot this issue? Thank you for your help!


Very. Some people think of New Jersey and imagine Newark or something but north Jersey is very beautiful


How is nostr:npub1n0stur7q092gyverzc2wfc00e8egkrdnnqq3alhv7p072u89m5es5mk6h0 different than nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg? Which do you like better?


I recently went on a hike with some friends at Chimney Rock in New Jersey and snapped a few shots with the #Leica M262. I love this camera—simple, straightforward, and digital, which is a plus with film prices being so high right now.

A simple setup just makes sense to me. Like energy following the path of least resistance, simplicity creates efficiency. As systems improve, they naturally conserve energy, and I find that reflected in the way I approach photography.

For sure I’m a photographer so this resonates very deep with me


Just being outside in the sun can work wonders. Paying attention to the light you consume during parts of the day is equally important


Absolutely


I couldn’t imagine my life without it. I do it everyday


It’s best to soak it in now before winter. Helpful for maintaining optimal, clockspeed, and metabolism for mitochondria


Thanks! What do you imagine a suitable replacement would look like?


I had a 5dmkii for years. Loved it. I have a Leica Q and M262. I have it with me now as I do try to bring a camera with me wherever I go
https://m.primal.net/KeIs.jpg


Lol not at all, wish I was. But If not grass feed, then the next tier down is okay. I make it last for two days haha. I usually have eggs everyday though and those are from local farms!


Gn!


What do you shoot with primarily?


Looks it! How far do you run?


Huge thanks! 7 hours wow haha


Reducing your life down to its most simplest form is always best. Energy flows in the path of least resistance after all.

For my daily eating, I try to eat but one time a day and that’s in the evening around 5pm. It’s grass-fed ground beef with eggs. In this case, I make the eggs in a traditional Japanese style called Tamagoyaki.

I also put honey on everything 🍯

Reason is simple in regard to eating once per day; and that’s to increase the amount of energy that you have so it may carry you through the day. One needs to understand that giving your body a break from digesting and allowing it to focus on repair is incredibly important.

Not to mention, getting plenty of sunlight and paying attention to your light and dark cycles (mitochondria related).
https://m.primal.net/KeHP.jpg


I don’t think so, link me pls!


Haha full stream?! These Ghibli films are better watched in the original with subtitles imo


Curious to hear as well for also photography?


I agree. I love finding others here to learn from and link with. It’s more meaningful to reply to posts too

I’m curious what you mean by when you mention copy and paste their links? I simply shared a Substack link this morning; is that not okay to do here?

And stack sats as always.

Ah yes, I love and agree with you!


I was just yesterday thinking that it’s only a matter of time before IG zines would setup nostr profiles 😆

I’ve run into Noice on IG. I too run a zine (which has been on hiatus admittedly for a couple of years) called fadinghours. Maybe I should kickstart it on nostr!


I say that all the time; one never deserves, but earns


Yeah it’s going to take some time. First is for them to understand bitcoin I think


lol good. Reciprocity is the word!


Love it so far. Jack and Jack are absolute legends.

That being said, I would love to find others here that could help me build more utilizing the #bitcoin and #nostr networks.

I run a photography publication called nostr:npub1v02emwxjn2lznkmnszltjy4c7cqzxuejkmye0zeqs62wf0shpahswdmwuj that I’ve been running for 10 years and I want to find developers here to help me. Please reach me! 🤝🏼

True. I’m sure you’ve come across Dr Jack kruse? Sunlight and paying attention to emf/nm wavelength of light during the day is paramount as well for your light/dark circadian cycles


That is a massive win for sure. I would also say, that bringing her out in the sunlight is another step forward. I’m sure you are familiar with the work and study by Dr Jack Kruse (?).


Oh but some seemingly “average” photos can be very good. It is all about perspective. You should go through the NOICE website and gather some inspiration from there.


I have a question for the #asknostr community:

I am trying to understand how to switch between two npubs that I have when logging into Primal on mobile. I understand that it is not ideal to paste in your nsec every time.

How do I manage between switching between my separate accounts for logging in on mobile? Is it wise to use Primal and Damus simultaneously while logged into two different npubs?

Thank you for your help 🤝🏼


Haha yes very real and beautiful material that we share. Submit some of your photos!


Absolutely; it’s a long game!


I think you may find nostr:npub1v02emwxjn2lznkmnszltjy4c7cqzxuejkmye0zeqs62wf0shpahswdmwuj of interest. It’s a photography publication that I’ve been running now for about 10 years. I’m a photographer myself


Welcome to the Nostr fam! I’m new as well so navigating the waters here has been exciting


Yeah pretty much


It should be anyways. But, they don’t want you to know that


The Importance of What You Throw

It’s not just about the act of throwing; it’s about what you’re throwing. When I think about hitting targets with rocks—a practice I sometimes engage in—I realize that the object itself holds more significance than the method. The integrity and design of the object, whether it’s structurally sound or well-suited for its purpose, often determine the accuracy of the throw.

Of course, the technique matters. How you throw, the aim, and the focus are all essential. But it’s the nature of what you’re throwing that carries greater weight.

Imagine a perfectly spherical stone versus one with jagged edges—the latter’s irregular shape disrupts its trajectory, influenced by the unpredictable dynamics of air resistance.

Sometimes, before you even release the object, there’s a sense, an intuition, that you’re going to hit the target. It’s a feeling that, when acknowledged, becomes part of a larger pattern of recognition—a link between intuition and action. Over time, you learn to trust this instinct, refining your ability to act on it.

In the end, what you throw—the object itself—matters deeply. Its design, weight, and balance all play a role in whether it reaches its mark.

In life, as in throwing, what we choose to focus on and how we shape our intentions are just as important as the effort we put into the action itself.

The other day I was chatting with a friend, and we both were discussing that Nostr feels a lot like the early days of AOL/AIM dial-up—the "good ol' days" of the internet when everything felt more pure and in its early, exciting stages.

Remember logging in and hearing that iconic sound of the connection? (If you're at least 30 years old today, I'm sure you can hear it in your head—boododaboodabhhashshshsshsssssssss...)

Being part of this community is incredibly exciting for me, especially as someone who’s not particularly tech-savvy. I'm really just a photographer with a lot to share and discover, so I'm genuinely grateful for everyone here who’s been kind enough to help me troubleshoot along the way.

I have this vision of all of us evolving into a united community. It starts as individuals, then grows into a movement, and ultimately becomes a beautiful collective of the brightest, most forward-thinking minds, creating a new world for those who are eager to explore it.

Why primal in the garbage?


Lesgoooo


NOICE! @noicemag


I cannot think of better tools with which to build a better world than #Bitcoin and #Nostr.

Freedom is finally starting to win.

Get to work. 💪


Completely agree. Learning along the way and it’s very exciting


I see that you have a strike wallet linked for your lightning. I was having issues with having users send zaps using my strike account, but I resolved it by using the primal wallet. Would you know why your strike account seems to work? Did link it on a specific client? Appreciate the help 🤝🏼


I'm about it! Which client are you using the most?


Received and confirmed! Seems to have been an issue with strike. Could we look into why that would be?

Also, I am curious if I understand this correctly, but when registering with nosterplebs, are you able to use your nip-05 to redirect to your lightning network that you input from their website? See screenshot

Yes!! So encouraging as this is exactly that I wish to bring here. So beautiful 🤝🏼😍


Good morning, Nostr fam!

We just published a new feature on our website showcasing some incredible work by Price Harrison. Take a moment to check it out, and if you’re a photographer, consider submitting your own photos.

Many of our audience members and previously featured photographers aren't yet on Nostr—or even aware of it. We'd love to bring more of them here!

One idea we're considering is monetizing our collaborations with artists through zaps. Do you think this could encourage more photographers to join the platform? Also, if someone could test out the zap feature to ensure it’s set up correctly, that would be greatly appreciated.

Brilliant thank you for the confirmations!! Super helpful


Okay, so I just updated the wallet with the default primal address. Could you check that for me please? I really appreciate it!


Great, thank you. What should I do to troubleshoot this error?


I used nostrplebs for nostr:npub1v02emwxjn2lznkmnszltjy4c7cqzxuejkmye0zeqs62wf0shpahswdmwuj  paid the fee and I think it’s worth it.


Good morning everyone!

I'm looking for some help with an issue I'm having with the lightning/zap function on my clients. I've connected my Strike address here on Primal, and it seems to be working fine. However, I've had reports from other users that they're unable to zap from Damus and noStrudel (I'm posting this using noStrudel). The error they’re receiving is "invalid lightning address."

I’m a bit puzzled since the Strike address works perfectly on Primal. Any insights on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

#asknostr #introductions


Thank you!!


To recuse the amount of excess entropy


The art of reduction


I think there’s value to be found in the pursuit of learning about Nostr/responsibility/freedom by engaging in unknown territory. Speaking personally of course because all of this protocol is new to me. It’s been exciting to be a part of this and I want to learn more.

Also if anyone could help me trouble shoot why my lightning wallet is not working via damus or nostrudel that would be huge. I have my strike wallet linked to primal and working. Thank you!


Thank you! I am actually having issues with my zaps. For whatever reason, my strike address here on primal works, but doesn’t for both nostrudel and damus. Would you mind helping me trouble shoot that?


Brilliant, will do that now


Thats really strange. I have the strike account setup on Primal. Why do you think it's not being able to go through on those clients? Trying to figure that out!


Yes actually thats something that I've been wanting to implement for some time now! Would love to get your help on that front! Happy to send you a copy of the book for helping!


Thank you!

Seeing it on noStrudel has a bit better of a grid layout than Primal. Btw, are you able to see if my zap feature is available to you on noStrudel? I'm having issues with linking the lightning payment there for some reason. Seems to work fine on Primal


Before we wrap up for the night, we wanted to highlight a section of our homepage showcasing some incredible photographers we’ve had the pleasure of featuring. If you’re a photographer, we’d love for you to check it out, connect with us, and help spread the word about what NOICE Magazine is all about.

I had two users reach out to me earlier to provide


Hey hello! Looking for photographers here. Anyone living in the NYC / NJ area?


Such a deep hole you can go in with cameras haha.


What’s remarkable about the double slit experiment is how it reveals that modern man assumes he is a separate observer of the universe.

He is therefore shocked when he sees evidence that he is the universe. https://image.nostr.build/8fc5360206a8e25914bbfe51aa7d6f267a8fe2d2f3c60333678e54dd18587d63.jpg


Trying to understand it!


lol who hasn’t nowadays


All I use
https://m.primal.net/KZSl.jpg


I’m honestly trying to figure that out as a photographer. My first impression though is that it feels very liberating, and the community of people here seem very intelligent and wholesome.


Over where?!


I’ll dm ya


So I dug a bit deeper and found that nostrudel is only able to link alby and a few other lightning networks. Do you have an alby invite you could share? Also, curious what you think of using nostrplebs for your domain. It’s all new to me so I appreciate the insight.

Also, I’m in Bernardsville! Literally a stone throw away hahaha


Thats awesome. What client have you been using the most?

Also, anyone that has an Alby invite that they would be willing to share, please dm me! I have been having issues with receiving zaps via NoStrudel and I realize that I need the alby extension to connect. Of course, I may be incorrect, but either way, if anyone has an invite they could share please let me know


Thanks my guy! It’s a tricky thing I will say from doing it for years. Looking through submissions on nostr:npub1v02emwxjn2lznkmnszltjy4c7cqzxuejkmye0zeqs62wf0shpahswdmwuj has really give me some perspective on how difficult it is, as you say


Is anyone else having issues with sending zaps?


Brilliant, this is helpful.

Now I have heard from a couple of people that my lightning wallet for zaps are not working from nostrudel. Can you confirm? Could you please recommend a course of action to correct the error? I have been receiving zaps into the strike account otherwise


Strange then why the strike lightning address is giving issues


Trying my best! Still wrapping my head around so many new concepts. I’ve been having some issues with people sending zaps from nostrudel on my most recent post. Could you see where it is that I am going wrong? I have my strike lightning account linked via primal


When I link a new lightning address, do I need to do this for every client? I have it for primal. Zaps have been coming through. Someone else was saying that the option is greyed out to zap on strudel


Hmm what should I do to resolve? What is your setup?


Thank you very much! Where in Jersey are you located?

In regards to the zap, that is strange. I have not used nostrudel before I am using primal and have my strike account linked. Can you try it there? What should I do to fix that?


Thank you, it’s very encouraging 🤝🏼


I looked at using alby, but I think there is a waiting list or I need an invite code. Do you have one? Are you using desktop or mobile more?


Hmm strange. Should I configure a new lightning wallet? Which would you recommend?


Brilliant thank you v much


This is very interesting. New concept to me that I’d love to work on. I will look into npub.pro and have a stab at it. May I reach you incase I encounter any issues? Would be really awesome to have your assistance because again this is so new to me.


😍🤝🏼
I think you would also appreciate my photography publication nostr:npub1v02emwxjn2lznkmnszltjy4c7cqzxuejkmye0zeqs62wf0shpahswdmwuj


Interesting. I have not used primal web yet; using it now on mobile.

I’ve never used nostrudel. What do you recommend for me to resolve the issue? I appreciate the help this is all very new terrain for me


Hmm, I suppose you are right. What is npub.pro and what makes it separate from here? Btw, I am using primal and damus atm


Thank you very much. It’s encouraging to see such a response on my first post here for my work.


Wow thank you very much! Yes, very small group so it is quite fun to try this out here and see who is responsive. Very much like fishing. I look forward to sharing more of my work here as I have so so much 🤝🏼


Hey thank you very much!
It seems that the zap came in I think! What was the error that you were getting?


Oh NYC is full of the unexpected. It’s a great place for photography, but I wouldn’t live there. More of a get in get out place for me!


Ahahaha


Could you elaborate a bit more in regard to using existing clients?

As for your question, I’m still figuring it out. This space is unique because it opens the door for new ideas to take shape. I’ve been thinking about how we could create a system where photographers can submit their work and potentially earn sats based on community votes or rankings. I know it’s not fully fleshed out yet, but I’m working on developing better ideas that offer more value to the photography community.

I’m definitely open to suggestions, especially if you have any insights from following what @noicemag does or checking out the IG account. It’s just me behind the scenes, so the brainstorming power is somewhat limited. Any ideas or feedback you can offer would be greatly appreciated


Good morning, Nostr fam!

I wanted to share some recent photographs from a photo walk I took in NYC with a friend last weekend. I’m shooting with a Leica M262.

I’m curious to see how photography translates on this platform and would love to get some feedback—anything to help me improve what works and refine what doesn’t. I am posting this from Primal btw. I wish there was a way to bulk select and upload.

I’m also hoping to connect with other photographers in the New Jersey/NYC area, so if you’re nearby, let’s link!!

Hmm how do you mean? All of this is very new to me, so I appreciate your insights. Looking to utilize this space for photography!


What do you do for yourself?


Best recommended ways to do that?


Would love to create a client for our publication to where users can submit their work. I’m still wanting to think of other ideas that I could implement.

It’s very good. Great to really see and hear him in public like this


Same; Nostr gave me my first Lightning payments. It's truly eye opening in terms of what can be in the future development of this protocol. I'm stumbling around learning all of this still, but its so engaging. I can't get enough of it.


Yes


Bitcoin is the prerequisite to Nostr I think. That’s what I have found personally


Power-law actually
https://m.primal.net/KYEU.png


It's remarkable that the Power Law Bitcoin follows has an R-squared value of 0.95, yet no scientific paper has been written about it.

There’s something truly different about Bitcoin.

I really enjoyed this interview with Giovanni Santostasi, whom I'm fortunate to connect with regularly in the Scalinvariant Discord group, where we explore these topics in depth.

Good morning, Nostr!

I've been doing my best to keep up with the rapid pace of development and excitement in this space. There's so much potential here.

I have a question for fellow photographers: How can we use Nostr to build something truly unique that couldn’t have been created within the legacy system?

I’d love to connect with anyone interested in discussing this further that also has some technical abilities in building.

#introductions #noicemag #minimalcomicplay #btc #photography


Please use this Nostr 101 talk from #Nostriga to on-board all of your friends, family, and community members. There's a lot of information covered here, going over a lot of the basics. Good luck!

Exponential squeezing


This reminds me that a good book to read is “Scale” by Geoffrey west.


It’s not a good look


A degree of solipsism


There needs to be an entire reevaluation on what it means to value and to communicate that value to others.

I agree with you entirely.

I still use twitter but I find this space much more open with greater possibilities


That’s something that I was pondering about the other day; just diving in and then learning along the way. I’ve applied this in many things that I do


Good morning


Yes, good morning. Better to spell it out

Instead of bringing the gm from X space, I’d like to just simply say “good morning” to everyone


Compassion


Sometimes it takes a lifetime


Imagine yourself always being the other and then reevaluate yourself accordingly


It’s funny, I was thinking about this yesterday. If we all realized this we would live in a completely different world.


Do you know if strike is able to connect?


“Curiosity is the vector vehicle for evolution”.

This phrase came to me while reading “Scale” by Geoffrey West, as I've been reflecting on how learning about Bitcoin has led me down a deep rabbit hole, and also how it parallels our journey as photographers—where curiosity rewards us with better images.

In essence, curiosity can be seen as the driving force— or vector— that propels evolution forward. Curiosity fuels exploration, experimentation, and discovery, leading to new ideas, technologies, and adaptations.

This aligns with the concept that energy, in its pursuit of efficiency, constantly seeks the path of least resistance. As systems evolve and grow more complex, they become more efficient, conserving energy in the process.

When we consider exponential growth and innovation, curiosity plays a pivotal role. It is the catalyst that sparks innovation, driving exponential growth by pushing boundaries and exploring the unknown.

This, in turn, accelerates the pace of evolution, as new discoveries and innovations build upon previous ones, creating a feedback loop that perpetuates this growth.

Time, in this context, becomes a critical factor. As the pace of innovation quickens, time seems to compress, requiring even faster adaptation and evolution.

Curiosity, therefore, not only drives the direction of evolution but also sets the tempo, ensuring that systems can keep up with the ever-increasing speed of change.

In summary, curiosity acts as the vector that guides and accelerates the process of evolution, allowing systems to become more efficient, adapt to new challenges, and maintain their trajectory of exponential growth.

This idea resonates with West's discussions on how complex systems evolve and the role of energy conservation in this process.

Hi Colin, nice to connect on Nostr. Looking forward to seeing the creativity overlaps across photography and decentralised protocols. It feels like theres no clear path currently but that’s the exciting part where the possibility lies!✌🏽


It’s more like a revisioning of sharing and creating value


Gotta be a generous amount for her


A multitude of reasons of course. She’s not ready, not interested or just doesn’t understand. Only a matter of time. Look at everything that was poopoo’d before such as the airplane or the internet.


I use both personally. Good for if you’re working on your laptop and want to post from there


Breath is everything. It's a fundamental rhythm that echoes throughout nature—from the rise and fall of tides to the changing seasons and cycles of time. While specific techniques might vary, the act of breathing itself is universal. It's a tool for healing that transcends individual differences because it's scale-invariant, affecting all living beings, especially mammals, in profound ways.


You can use both. Damus is good for posting from desktop


Same. Using damus for laptop and the pair is great


I’ve been enjoying it

This is something that I’ve been thinking about personally and that’s being specific and asking good questions. I feel like Nostr and using AI requires this.


It’s a major headache


So many things still coming


Truly. You have to just dive into the thing that you know you should learn, even though you don’t understand it at that moment. Only then will things start to click


Those that seek will find it


Life is consciousness and consciousness is movement.


It’s a driving force

Hey, thank you! I’m looking forward to learning more about this amazing space


Thank you for sharing ❤


There’s a strong connection between photography and bitcoin.

Both are born from curiosity.

It’s this curiosity that drives us to push boundaries, whether in creating compelling images or exploring the untapped potential of a decentralized currency. Without it, we wouldn’t venture beyond the familiar, missing the chance to discover something truly extraordinary.

Courage is another shared trait.

It takes bravery to step into the unknown, to explore uncharted territories—whether that’s capturing a fleeting moment in time or embracing the disruptive power of Bitcoin. Courage allows us to share our unique perspectives with the world, offering something fresh and meaningful.

But perhaps most crucial is self-discipline.

Without it, neither curiosity nor courage would sustain the journey. Discipline is the anchor that keeps us committed, allowing us to delve deeply into our passions. It’s the driving force behind understanding something profoundly, fostering a continuous appetite for beauty, trust, and growth.

Hey thank you for sharing


Hey thank you!


Hello, World of Nostr.

My name is Colin Czerwinski, and I'm a photographer and the editor/curator behind a small but passionate photography publication called nostr:npub1v02emwxjn2lznkmnszltjy4c7cqzxuejkmye0zeqs62wf0shpahswdmwuj. For over 15 years, I've been making photographs, and for nearly a decade, I've been running NOICE—where I share and celebrate the work of photographers who, like me, see the beauty in the curious, the humorous, and the colorful.

Photography, for me, is deeply personal. It's a way of connecting with the world and inviting others to see it through my eyes. By sharing my vision, I hope to inspire others to pick up a camera and start documenting the world around them, finding joy in the unexpected and the everyday.

Joining Nostr feels both intimidating and exciting. It's a new frontier, full of possibilities, and I'm glad to be part of it. Here, I hope to share more freely—my photography, my thoughts on life, and my musings on everything from Bitcoin, trading, science and beyond. The freedom to express without censorship is a value, and I look forward to exploring it here.

If you're interested in following more of my work, you can find me on Substack and YouTube (PictureRoom), where I publish additional articles. Links to my other social channels will be in my bio.

Thank you for stopping by.

If you're new to NOICE, welcome! We're a photography publication like no other—a space where the artistry of the everyday comes to life through meticulously curated images that captivate, inspire, and challenge conventional perspectives.

At NOICE, we believe that photography is more than just a visual medium; it's a language that speaks to the essence of form, beauty, symmetry, and humor.

Our platform is dedicated to showcasing the work of photographers who see the world through a unique lens—those who find extraordinary beauty in the ordinary and who aren't afraid to push the boundaries of creative expression.

But NOICE is more than just a collection of stunning images. It's a community of like-minded individuals who value transparency, curiosity, and the pursuit of truth. We're passionate about fostering a space where critical thinking and compassion coexist.

From our thoughtfully designed layout to the diversity of styles and perspectives we feature, every aspect of NOICE is crafted with care. We're here to celebrate the art of photography in its many forms.

Joining us on Nostr opens up even more possibilities. Not only can you explore incredible photography, but you can also directly support the artists behind the work. Through the power of the Lightning Network, we offer a way to send zaps—small, instant payments—to photographers whose work resonates with you. It’s a new and exciting way to engage with the art you love, and to help creators continue to do what they do best.

We have open submissions year-round, so we encourage you to visit our website and share your work with us.

NOICE Magazine is a platform celebrating photographers with an eye for form, beauty, symmetry, novelty, and humor. Our transition to Nostr marks a new chapter in our commitment to visual storytelling and innovation.

We're built on values of transparency, curiosity, and critical thinking. Our community describes NOICE as a beacon of inspiration—a place where quality and creativity converge.

At NOICE, we curate more than just images; we foster conversations and connections.

Whether you're here for the art, ideas, or community, we welcome you to NOICE on Nostr—where photography meets philosophy, and everyday beauty is captured in its most authentic form.


This is a test.
