✅ Sharing my personal experience using #Nostr #Primal, #Snort and #Iris clients (Desktop version).
Dude, I realized that I'm using three #Nostr clients to publish my notes and interact with people: @primal, @Snort and Iris. I'm crazy? No! Each of these Nostr clients has its positives and negatives, so, almost intuitively and without realizing it, I end up choosing to use one or the other throughout the day.
Snort and Iris are practically identical in 95% of features and interface, except for some features (5%) and brand. #Primal is different from the other two, however, it doesn't offer as many features available in #Snort / #Iris, which are very useful to me.
Starting with the settings area, let's compare Primal with Snort/Iris. Primal has a shall we say, “poor” area in terms of configuration options, while Snort/Iris offers a variety of possibilities.
Primal has the filter feature on the right side, which allows you to select the trend of content for 1/4/12/24 hours, an excellent feature absent in Snort/Iris (which displays a summary of content that was trending in the last 24 hours, and it doesn't update correctly).
Additionally, in Primal, when you are reading a note on your specific page, on the right side, you can see a list of all the people who have interacted with that post. Excellent resource!
In the notifications area, Snort displays a bar graph that shows all the interactions you have received over 11 days or weekly. Iris/Primal do not have this graphic feature. In Primal, notifications are more visually attractive, as you can see the note and the interaction it received (likes, comments, shares, and zaps).
On the user profile page, Snort/Iris has a more intuitive interface and some features that Primal does not have, such as the bio that displays the information in a more organized way (website and wallet link, both with icons). In Primal, they display notes, reactions, followers, zaps, relays, etc., with numeric data instead of just text like in Snort/Iris. Additionally, the side menu in Snort/Iris is more attractive and has mouseover effects.
On a 21.5" inch monitor, Primal is a laterally more compact website, while Snort/Iris is wider, although it is visually pleasing, it seems that the elements are too spaced out on the screen, while Primal is more compact.
Creating notes in Primal is not as pleasant as in Snort/Iris, as the popup appears at the top of the screen. The preview loads the content automatically and updates in real time as you write the note, making the process a bit slow. In Snort/Iris, when you create a note, a popup appears in the center of the screen and there is a selector to activate the publication preview, which is excellent. Personally, I prefer to create my notes in Snort/Iris.
Another detail when creating notes is in relation to images. Snort/Iris allows you to configure and select the option for hosting note images on Nostrcheck.me, this is an exceptional feature, as you now have an image gallery on Nostrcheck.me.
In the feed, at the top, in the upper area, Snort/Primal have a selector that allows you to select and filter what you want to see, for example: for you, following, trending notes, conversations, followed by friends, follower suggestions, Trending, global, and topical hashtags. Primal has the feature, but it is limited.
Regarding page loading speed and notes content, Primal has been faster than Snort/Iris, although in these last two clients, there are several disconnections throughout the day and timeout errors. Feed/cache is a problem with both services, often the feed appears out of date, even when you reload the page.
In Snort/Iris, your profile description, as well as your nickname, avatar and profile banner, typically reverts to a previous version/cache, if you have already updated this information a few times. This is quite annoying!
The integration with lightning wallets in Snort/Primal works without barriers, while Primal, requests your personal data. This is a negative point for me.
In short, both clients are great. In my opinion, it would be great if developers could perform benchmarking and combine all the excellent features of both clients into a single application. Obviously there will not be unanimity, nor does it need to be. But whoever pays attention to these details will be able to come out ahead, placing an application on the market that can satisfy and serve the majority of users.
I have tried to talk to some developers from these clients, but I believe that, due to their work, they do not have the time available to listen and accept this and other feedback. That's what I prefer to believe!
Who knows, maybe this note will be seen by some of them. I hope that sharing these experiences can add some value to some of these applications.
Thank you for reading this far, and sorry for any grammar or concordance errors. https://nostrcheck.me/media/df14b35799a917e9f824de01f8f510fcccf1648b8d45bda726521feb689b5da0/80e1da36544d9116dcb8591aeed2a3b580927fda2548adea286550f2ccc7c7a7.webp@Kieran@Karnage@Martti Malmi@verbiricha@miljan@Vitor Pamplona@fiatjaf
Why don't the Snort/Iris (browser version) settings remain saved? Every time I log in again, I notice that some settings have been lost… @Kieran@Karnage@Martti Malmi@verbiricha
Embrace a life less screen-bound! Switch off your TVs, disconnect from cable channels, and dive into the world of good books. Share moments with your family, gather around the table, and let your smartphone rest. Feel the earth beneath your feet daily, bask in the sunlight, inhale crisp air, savor pure water, and marvel at the boundless sky and nature. Live fully in the present moment! #nostr
I often say: “If you can’t afford it, don’t say it’s expensive!” It's not elegant or good manners to say how much someone else's work costs. Anyone who works hard knows how much their time, dedication, and effort cost!
My mother told me: “a lot of help, who doesn't get in the way!”, I don't know if this popular saying is popular in your country! Many people would help a lot, simply by not getting in the way, in other words: if you can't help, get out! Every worker is worthy of his salary! Congratulations on your tireless work and dedication! 💜🫂
Not only that! Most of the time you click on a note and don't see any likes or comments, you can only see them after you refresh the page. This is very boring! 🥸
Man, I met some Venezuelans who told me that there are hundreds of men from the Middle East (single and of military age) legally entering Venezuela. There they receive citizenship and a passport. Then they go to Mexico, in order to enter freely through the US border. And that's not the worst! The Biden government delivers a document to appear in court, to “legalize” the “immigrant” status, 1 cell phone and a card with USD 1,000, for each one!
@miljan You must have made some improvement or correction, because now, images published in other Nostr clients (Iris/Snort - web version) are displayed in Primal. For me, no images were displayed when I used Iris/Snort (web). Thanks for the improvements!

¡Eso es correcto mi amigo! ¡Lamentablemente, los gobiernos están decididos a perseguir a quienes tienen hambre y sed de libertad y justicia! ¡Para ellos, ser libre es un delito que no permite libertad bajo fianza! ¡Fuerza! 👊🏻
In summary to the text published by @FRANCIS
➡️ The “block size war” in #Bitcoin was not so much about block size as it was about who controls the consensus rules and how the protocol is updated.
➡️ Startups such as #Coinbase, #Bitpay and #Blockchain.info were looking for scapegoats to justify their lack of growth during a bear market.
➡️ Companies saw themselves as representing the interests of venture capital (VC) investors and believed they had decision-making power over the network.
➡️ Developers like Gavin and Garzik may have feared losing relevance.
➡️ Companies like #Bitmain had an interest in influencing network decisions, promoting the idea that Bitcoin was a democracy and that buying hash power was the way to vote.
➡️ The lack of a formal governance process was seen as the root of the problem.
➡️ Bitmain used your refusal to activate #SegWit as leverage to get a block size increase.
➡️ The New York Accord was negotiated as a behind-the-scenes deal, uniting startups, investors, and Bitcoin #mining interests.
➡️ #SegWit2x was proposed as part of the deal, but was eventually abandoned after realizing it would lead to a chain split.
➡️ Many people were angry at not being able to control the network, leading to abrupt exits and the creation of other #cryptocurrencies.

There are many documented investigations that point to a practice adopted by the industry to create what is called “programmed addiction”, in which products and consumer goods leave the production lines, with a due date. I remember that most of the equipment I had at home lasted years, today it lasts much less.
Congratulations on the launch of AI Studio (beta) for nostr.build creators and advanced account holders! This is a really great feature, which opens up a world of possibilities for generating images using generative AI prompts.

Many #Bitcoin enthusiasts do not have a comprehensive understanding of its complexities. Understanding this complex ecosystem is critical to effectively navigating the crypto space.
Although #Nostr was the creation of a Brazilian @fiatjaf, in fact, more Brazilians need to join Nostr, given such political persecution in their country!

How does #Nostr ensure censorship resistance?
Nostr ensures censorship resistance by utilizing a decentralized network protocol that doesn't rely on any trusted central server. It uses cryptographic keys and signatures for tamperproof data, making it resilient and allowing for multiple different front-ends for the same data.
The protocol's primary form of data transport is the use of a standardized kind of WebSocket server called a Relay, which enables global, decentralized, and censorship-resistant social media. Nostr accounts are based on public-key cryptography, making it easy to verify messages were really sent by the user in question.
The protocol assumes that relays will disappear and allows users to connect and publish to an arbitrary number of relays that they can change over time.

Hello @fiatjaf, how are you? Dude, is there any way to update my data on https://njump.me that is out of date? I changed my profile details, but I realized that on njump.me they are out of date. Could you please help me? Thanks!
I think it's super valid to recognize, financially speaking, the work of developers, and I also think it's important to listen to people when they criticize, give tips and feedback about #Nostr clients! I myself, for example, have already made some comments and tagged some developers in notes I published. How many developers paid attention or responded? Practically ZERO! Either we are on a two-way street, or we will collide in one lane!
