 Can’t figure out how to upload a screen recording anymore, upload services throttling file sizes prevents tutorial videos. ¯\_(ツ)_/ nostr loses! 
 Coinos.io is pretty legit right now… 
 Www.zaplinks.lol is a pretty awesome Swiss Army knife of a nostr website that should go in here haha 
 Get fucking rekt shitcoiners. 

Bitcoin miners and their energy producing dreams are just a shitcoiners’ greedy fantasy.

Hopefully this grifter goes away. https://image.nostr.build/20c4a75710c4216b943b01e8d666ddada0b3d36e840484bc3e5edb85754c6f13.jpg  
 Losing all your money can drive you crazy 
 No, he’s not, he’s just an investor that invested his bitcoin into peeker plants for hut8 miners and got rekt. Producing energy is best left to energy producers, not greedy bitcoiners who think they’re smarter than bitcoin.  
 Yo @Fabian how do I zap in Nostur ? Can I zap a post? Don’t see any buttons to do so… 
 Yo thanks Paulo, @Nostur is straight fire.

Hey mate some observations... 
 Welcome to nostr coinOS, where the users provide immediate feedback in a flood of excitement. 
 Skid marks are just a sign you’re getting old bevo 
 Check the floor! 
 @Coinos has to be the best nostr onboarding tool ever created. 

It’s got a simple and easy signup process, immediately provides a profile url, nostr pub key, LNURL, NWC, allows you to export an NSEC to then use to log into other apps. It’s easy to understand for legacy types, and they can denominate there zaps in whatever currency they want or sats. It’s a bitcoin wallet, liquid wallet, and lightning wallet. 

If you want to purple pill someone, ease them into the orange pill, I think having them start with Coinos makes a lot of sense. 
 Since both Blastr and Bostr projects are now sorta dead... I think I'll build a new #Nostr "blast... 
 Yay! 
 Just set up this web app. Have a wallet address of bevo@coinos..io. This app is awesome. Reminds ... 
 Yo try me now I think I just one tap zapped you 
 Received! It’s up and working well now!



Too excited to sleep but now that it’s working I’m off! 
 Almost every human npub on Nostr is a lurker. 
 Meh I hang out with the active ones 
 Yah I have reactions disabled anyways so I can’t see those, and really judge “engagement” via zaps and comments. 

Nostr still pretty dead overall, but most of the active people are legit rad (minus the #nostrati shills) 
 I liked the other account didn’t realize I had to follow this one too. 

Sometimes the real time feed means people don’t see critical notes that require action 
 The relays throttling and these WOT relays is literally the worst thing to happen to nostr discoverability all year 
 Yah dude, venture capitalists got em all by the balls. 
 How come I can’t paste the NWC string in the wallet section on my Damus? I’m Using the newest TestFlight 
 Yah just pasted it into this note before I typed this, it’s there. You using the latest test flight? 
 Holy shit I just tried again and like, now it worked. So weird?!? 
 I don’t copy it twice, I pasted here immediately after trying to press the button in Damus, then I copied the string again, and that worked for me. It’s like Damus wasn’t reading the clipboard right 
 No problem with corny chat, working there too!

One tap zaps and streaming sats activated !!! ⚡️ ⚡️ 
 Trying to set this up in Damus right now and it’s giving me an error that it’s not a valid nwc address? 
 I’ve had some successful one tap zaps!! 

I had some kind of issue where Damus wasn’t recognizing what was on my clipboard. 

Also had to give it a bit of time before they started going through.

Coinos making nostr great!!! Thanks ya’ll!!

I really appreciate your quick response and on the fly fixes, felt like nostr circa Jan ‘23 again! 
 Communication saves relations 
 Relations are communcations. 
 When better relay management tools in Damus? 
 Like the ability to control read relays vs write relays and show specific relays in the home feed like you can in global 
 How will autopilot allow users the ability to control the content they publish and the content they view? Seems like it will just encourage maximum distribution and maximum receivership. 
 Computer generated art. There, fixed it for you. 
Fun fact: a lot of art is created using Photosh... 
 Prompt creation is a valid form of creativity, but AI generated imagery is actually hypothecated from real artists it was trained on and then mushed together. It is not art, at best it is a form of collage, but as there was no labor, love, or intention(as computers cannot impart love or intention) it can’t be “art” 
 There’s another dude that asks chicks to fart on him. And then there’s the free hugs guy.

Nyc is full of dudes getting their kink on in public. 
 It sure is! Let’s not forget about the Spider-Man, Elmo, and Winnie the Pooh gang in times square that always cop a feel of the girls who want a photo with them! 
 It’s the end of the week 🫡

Which client did you use most the last 7 days? 
 Love the coloring on this. Nice one!

 Coinbase is selling paper bitcoin to Blackrock and all of the ETFs it custodies. 

Rehypothecation is occuring from bitcoin they owe to their retail customers holding on their exchange. 

This range is Coinbase selling the tops and buying the dips to capture the spread to acquire the bitcoin they don’t actually have to the etfs at a later date.

If this doesn’t blow up in their face, they’ll continue to manipulate the market with this strategy.

#🌝 
 Check the block chain. There’s no proper coin movement. Read the prospectus, there’s intentionally up to between 2-30 days before settlement is required. Coinbase is both custodian as well as tasked with acquiring the bitcoin. We don’t stop or fix it, the only thing stopping this train is a Coinbase blow up. 
 The bitcoin on the books already doesn’t match the on chain data. Settlement all happens in cash which can paper over the lack of bitcoin. 

Everyone doubts it’s happening but everyone doubted FTX was insolvent as well.

The only solution is for people to store their coins in cold storage to make the data obvious to even the biggest excusers. 
 It would be incredibly easy to find verifiable data to prove me wrong, but no one has seen that either! 
 Hey everyone, I’m looking to purchase some original artwork with sats. Anyone got anything?

 I’ve said it from the first time I heard about it, web of trust is fucking stupid. 

Instead of solving discoverability, the devs are trying to create walled gardens. 

Nostr needs new developers.

 Primal’s wallet is really good. 
 That’s because they use strike. 
 It’s good that Primal is responding to this issue. It sucks though that it takes Jack saying so... 
 …Maybe you should try to get @jack to ask for that… 
Event not found
 Walled gardens gate keeping nostriches. Awesome. 
 There’s other solutions the web of trust Maxi’s don’t want to talk about because they’d rather control the gates. 
 Clients need to implement relay controls to allow for users to manipulate where they write and where they read independently, as well as which relay they’re actively displaying in their feed. 

Instead of clients just blasting notes everywhere and downloading every note from every relay, users should have granular control. 

This also impacts how much of a bandwidth hog clients are, or data storage(cache) issues and crashes. 

All of these “just do this thing” solutions don’t actually help nostr, they centralize and wall it off.
