 The future is already here, just doesn't have a good UX yet. 
 Painfully true. People who build great UXs will build very successful businesses 
 The fact that more public companies haven’t run the MicroStrategy playbook yet is kind of wild ... 
 Most public companies don’t have founding CEOs. No leadership teams with appetite for risk. 
 Fix the internet, fix the world

 Chaos. Try it anyways and report back

 community specific relays? 
 As long as people have the ability to export their own data it can decentralize if it needs to. 
 I dream of positive sats flow

Porn.

Yep. 
 Yo but what about the cast iron? 
 Its a beautiful day. Get after it! 
 Tempted to make a nostr app that posts "GM" for me every morning at sunrise 
 wake up babe, we got some constructive criticism to address 👀 nostr:note1jmav6c840xj2fkzlsjw9c... 
 I think this hurts because it’s true.

Good software takes a lot of time and effort. Needs to be able to financially sustain itself so it can go the distance.

There’s just not enough funding so we have a lot of half-complete hobby projects. 
 Agreed.

I’m very grateful to those putting in the work, with or without funding.

At this stage, I think it’s more important we tinker and discover new use cases than make polished copycats of things that already exist.

But if the goal is mass adoption, user experience will be most important. 
 A really cool person just joined nostr. Zap her 🤙⚡️ nostr:note1rgkm5xvff50xq94lj79saz3r3sjetmpmtmx609xrv2adcgrm9jkqrv4t5e 
 how big is that utxo set now? 
 What would be a good heuristic to identify developers on nostr by only looking at their notes? 🤔 
 Sharing links to github? 
 What does Nostr think about Zcash? 
 Nostr doesn’t think about zcash 
 Because nostr is a protocol, it doesn’t think (obviously) 
 Actually real answer is because we’re too busy thinking about ecash

 Brother, you gotta post some food porn here. I know you got the goods. I want my feed full of pictures of your tasty food lol 
 Being immortal would be so dope. I’d definitely live like an elf.

Act all high class.
Be young and hot forever.
Keep to yourself.
Chill with nature.
Fuck with magic. 
 Amazing! But isn't one of the main powers of social media that your post goes viral and lots of p... 
 This is really clean. Great work, man. 
 i’m starting to learn more from nostr. 

which is a great sign. 
 From the protocol or the people? 
 Netflix ruined him. Ego got too big, unable to compete. 
 Not many people can handle the American fame 😂 
 Every time I chat with nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 and ... 
 I kinda miss the barking dogs tbh 
 Imagine drinking beer all day and still being in ketosis. 

Bless you Lagunitas, bless you.  
 How does that work? Is Lagunitas special? 
 How do you like the framework? 
 That’s awesome. I like my Mac but realizing that one day I’ll have to leave the ecosystem. 
 Why are you on nostr? 
 Hiding from X threadbois 
 Any former Mutiny users who can answer this?

 This seems useful 
 When we figure out this spam issue I'm really gonna miss reply guy

 The macOS Sequoia update wrecked my M2 Mac's network connectivity, and it seems to be widespread.... 
 Half my apps crash or don't work anymore... Should have waited a little bit longer.

I don't know why I upgraded cause I've literally been burned by this dozens of times. 
 So much for dumb relay + smart client 
 My entire email inbox is filled with spam. Wish i had an easy to use friend filter there like i d... 
 I use hey.com for that exact purpose. You have to screen email addresses in or out of your inbox the first time they contact you. Helps make sure that the only emails that hit your receive are from people you know and trust. 
 They make a lot of money charging $99/month 
 *year... not month. 
 Ah okay. I got you.

Its mostly user driven (outside of spam), so you can screen people out who aren't spam. 
 I removed the primal and offchain relays and lost 95% of spam in my feed. 
 sorry for your loss 
 Great points, man. Nostr may fix some technical problems... but people are still people! 
 Is there a #nostr app that cross posts my content to X? I want to be active on X without having to ever look at X. 
 Nostr will be whatever I say it will be. 
 This has happened to me a number of times on the small VPSs I run web apps on.

Usually logs!

 You get any of that yummy beef noodle soup? 
 Oh shit I forgot about those tasty pineapple cakes. Get any of those? 
 Oh my god i forgot about xiao long bao! Have you eaten any of those tasty soup dumplings?

I think I need to go back… 
 Do we have any stand up comedians on Nostr?

 oh yeah. definitely most of the lost is in the past 😂  
 @Nathan man I love the shirt 
 Does any one know how many active daily users are on Nostr?
This is more fun than twitter! 
 I think this will be the hardest to explain to normies lol.

Influencer: "How many followers do I have?"

Nostr Marketing Team: "It's unknowable"

 Sorry for your loss, sir.  
 Welcome to nostr! 

Feel free to make it your own. No rules, no expectations. 
 This is so evergreen it hurts
