The Nostr way

nostr is so different from legacy social media.


somos un par de locos usando NOSTR
ojalá la gente se de cuenta pronto 🤝

What are your thoughts on people leaving the 9-5 life to go to the forest and upload videos about how they live?

I feel that's not necessary and can't be good.

I understand you don't like city life, but why not go to a town? There's no need to contaminate somewhat virgin lands. Also, you're using the internet and making money from your experiment, do you realize your lifestyle couldn't possibly produce the tools you use?

It feels like you're contaminating the environment and profiting from it with a lifestyle that's unsustainable in a deeply technological society.

descubrí que no tener un buen sistema de transporte público es una estrategia del estado paraguayo para forzar a los ciudadanos a comprar un vehículo a cuotas y por ende obligarlos a trabajar, es decir mejorar la economía nacional y hacer crecer a la patria

My expectations of other social media platforms is increasing because I’m used to Nostr as my main driver.

Saw a high value post on LinkedIn this morning and I went to zap it before realizing there’s no zap button on LinkedIn. Like why not!?!

Walled gardens are decaying as Nostr blooms.


if you're running a WoT (Web-of-Trust) relay, please let me know. I'd like to compile a list.

wss://wot.utxo.one -  nostr:npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8
wss://nostrelites.org -  nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424

What's a Web-of-Trust relay?

It's a type of relay that anyone can read from, but only certain people can write to. If the owner follows you or one of the people that the owner follows, follows you, then you're considered inside their Web-of-Trust. You can then write to this relay!

Example:

I follow  nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m but I do not follow @billybob.  nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m however does follow @billybob. Therefore, @billybob is allowed to write to my WoT relay.

Even if you're not inside a WoT, you can still use these relays for reading Nostr content. This relay software also fetches and archives content from people inside the WoT automatically. This means users inside the WoT don't even need to choose these relays and write to them for their content to be available on these relays. And then readers can enjoy this content with little to no spam. Cool.

Web of Trust Relay:

This relay looks at who you follow, and who they follow, and saves every note in this trust network automatically.

I added it as my only relay in amethyst and spam is now completely gone.

Anyone in my web of trust can use my relay:

nostr is truly a revolutionary technology


The more I think about Nostr the more it blows my mind.

I can just say whatever crazy shit I want and there’s like no guardrails or mods—it’s just out there, and people will actually see it.

No one appreciates just how powerful this is, how important it is, monumental even.

It creates a totally new possibility for the social web, which is really something else entirely. It’s the possibility of a new world in which people own their data; their information. No longer to be exploited, or owned, people can really say whatever they want.

And that is truly extraordinary.


this is the way

thinking about it, nostr relays can be blocked easily, and this can prevent you from posting, however once you post your note is propagated to multiple relays. So, you can be prevented from posting on nostr, but your existing messages remain hard to censor.

Good morning Paraguay.


we aren't talking about ai+nostr enough https://m.primal.net/KROt.png


Nearly a decade and a half ago, in my early twenties, I was an administrator for a small/medium online forum. This was before social media was super popular.

At first I just posted on the forum, and then the admins asked me to be a mod. And then as some admins left, they asked me to be one of the admins. So I did.

I did this for like five years, for free. I was working full time, going to grad school part time, running a dividend blog part time, and yet for some reason was also volunteering a lot of time to help run this forum. Because I liked it. After years eventually I left, and someone else stepped in to take my place. All the admins were just volunteering.

Anyway, that’s who runs the relays. The psychopaths.

Elon is required to provide information to the NSA if asked, and he may not have permission to disclose this publicly. Therefore, you don't have true privacy on X, and you can be censored.

For four decades in the United States, from the 1930s to the 1970s, it was punishable by up to a decade in prison for Americans to own gold. Governments take their control over the public ledger very seriously, and attempts by people to take back their own monetary sovereignty to prevent their savings from being debased can be heavily punished.
- Lyn Alden, Broken Money


speed is the most important feature.

being able to send a note/post via text, have it fully render, and instantly load when someone clicks on it, is one of the biggest things that will help build network effect.

communities, such as ditto, and giving people the option to make them private and encrypted, is a net new feature not found on any other platform that will draw people to the nostr social app protocol, and be the best onboarding and discovery tool out there. people care a lot more about privacy than censorship-resistance.

getting as much content and information on here, welcoming of the bots and agentic AI, will allow this protocol to be the only one that can definitively state: "see everything." especially since no individual/corporation/government can delete your content or account.

this is what i would prioritize. the past two years of nostr has been about exploring the breadth of the protocol. great! it's now time to go deep and focus on quality and differentiated experiences. not copies of copies.


if you think more than two seconds about it, it's kinda scary that your login method is your private key. but... we are adults. we should be responsible about where we put our keys.

Bona nit.


Kind reminder: open-source developers on Nostr are assuming a huge amount of risk.

Yes, Nostr is a Hydra, and when totalitarians cut off one head two more will grow in its place… But each developer IS a head, and by simply writing code they put themselves in a dangerous position. By writing code that enables freedom technology, they make themselves a target.

They know this, and they do it anyway.

It should not be this way, I know. Code is speech. But it is the reality of the world we live in today.

Thankfully, open-source developers are creating tools that will make the world of tomorrow a better, freer one. The kind of world you want your children to inherit.

So, whatever Nostr client you’re reading this on, go zap the developer. Give them some of your monetary energy.

They fucking deserve it. nostr:note1sqfy325zy39fqvc0yhr0u992gdpdp28x6hfkwavm0gs4hj083xrs8j5q95

-Treat the arrest of the Telegram CEO as an emergency.

-Advocate for his freedom and for all freedom tech providers.

-Support and build things that function without a CEO, like some aspects of Nostr. When authoritarian Europe or the US arrests you, be able to say, “I literally can’t control it, it’s already out there, and we are legion.”

-Tell me and others, as capital providers, how to accelerate this.


Tor, Nostr, BitTorrent, Bitcoin
what do these have in common?


isn't what's going on with the CEO of telegram similar to what happened with Kim DotCom? Megaupload was used badly and he paid the price. Unfortunate.

Nostr is so much easier to setup than farcaster

you put your email and then they say you have to pay 5$ to create an account, crazy


two kinds of code

also on chess.com you have a daily limit for game-analysis. on lichess you have unlimited analysis using stockfish i think


after that karpathy tweet i'm tempted to try a cursor subscription for a month. i do java development, so i'm not sure if it's worth it, since development heavily relies on intellij


idk man, just feelings. what can be improved on lichess is that you can't do multiple pre-moves. in chess.com you can. On mobile lichess feels lighter and faster, more responsive.


i follow myself.
the conviction is ultimate.


i started playing chess with chess.com, then i discovered lichess and thought: wow, this looks good, it's almost better and it's open source! so i kept using it.

i think nostr is going to win, even if  people are not searching for it right now. we are so early
for me, 'win' means you'll talk to a random on the street and they'll know what nostr is
kind of a dream of mine is being able to contribute on these protocols while being a digital nomad


idk why i'm so much into bitcoin, i don't even have enough fiat to buy the coin
i just like to be an early adopter and understand the future

Nostr is a protocol.

Good companies elect to build on top of that protocol.

auto-following on account creation is a mistake. especially for nostr clients. takes a bunch of agency away and puts the person in a defensive position of “why am i following this account?”

trending, search, and topics are far better leads to a follow.


The Bitcoin Street Journal follows me.
We are not the same.


if everyone gave you one sat per post, how many sats would you have?


I don't disagree, but for context there is very little capital in Nostr.

That came up in a public interview this week. Paul Barron asked me about Nostr on his 450k subscriber altcoin channel, pointed out Nostr's sideways user statistics, and then pointed to Farcaster's greater growth. I pushed back by highlighting that Farcaster raised an order of magnitude more capital ($150 million), and that Nostr is mostly funded from donations  and has hardly any VC-funded companies, and even those few only to a limited extent. We've seen this in the crypto space before where they outraise bitcoin-only companies by one or two orders of magnitude but then eventually run out of steam because there's a weaker foundation there.

So, virtually all of the Nostr comms are organic, rather than funded by a marketing budget. It's because individuals are excited about it.

Larger-scale comms, GTM, and operational excellence require capital.

The bootstrapping phase has been super strong and organic from developers' own hardcore time capital, and we have the initial seeds of monetary capital in the space, largely thanks to Jack and then also the HRF and some from bitcoin-focused VCs.

So I expect that we'll see some of those pivots once this current bootstrapping phase bears more fruit in the coming months with the development stuff they've built, with more opportunities to raise capital and have Nostr-focused companies with like, an actual marketing budget.

I don't think we should be complacent, but rather I think we're progressing to the next step in a good position, from which we must then build upon.

I'm thinking about installing gimp so I can make the best Nostr memes this platform has ever seen


Why Nostr is struggling…

There is too much of an overlap with X, not only in the feature sets among the primary applications, but more importantly, in the kind of audience that Nostr is catering to.

Sure..censorship resistance at the protocol level is a differentiator, but the to the average person, you may as well be talking gibberish. They don’t know wtf a protocol is in the first place - let alone why it matters for censorship resistance to happen at that level, or more importantly, WHY they should trust Nostr to deliver on that promise. “Bcoz nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m said so” is not an argument.

————

Bluesky is a case in point here.

It’s got a VERY similar feature set to X, claims to be open source / censorship resistant (similar narrative to Nostr), and is growing MUCH faster than Nostr, bc it has captured a key audience, ie; people with TDS and EDS (Elon Derangement Syndrome).

https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/bluesky-signups-surge-uk-amid-musks-row-with-government-over-riots-2024-08-13/?

I’ve been on there a few times, and the content quality is enough to make you want to throw up….but at the very least, it’s working for that kind of content, and for the people who want it.

I don’t have a direct answer here..but I think it’s something to do with the over-emphasis on technicals.

nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8 mentioned increasing the emphasis on design the other day. I agree this is a move in the right direction. We’re taking a very design-focused approach with nostr:npub15xd2mmjnh3caykh77djsv73e0zkrp42jp5mwerx8f4m6su40wdvss7t3l3 (we’ll have ALOT more to show in the next 6wks).

That being said, it’s not enough.
IMO, Nostr is technically mature enough for us to go out there and talk about it to more people, and build a narrative BEYOND the 500 of us that are talking to each other on here.

People like nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft or nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc can correct me if I am wrong here. Maybe there’s alot more to do technically.

But if I am right, I’d like to see more initiatives that are marketing oriented being supported by nostr:npub17xvf49kht23cddxgw92rvfktkd3vqvjgkgsdexh9847wl0927tqsrhc9as and nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f and other coalitions. Maybe we even need a council of Nostr businesses, who together pool some funds to help drive some marketing initiatives?

Whatever the case, we need to expand upon the Nostr narrative, make it more compelling and speak to more people about it.
At the very least, we have to conquer then Bitcoiners. If we can’t get the segment who are into freedom money onto the freedom of speech network, we’re DOA. That’s a first step.

I know nostr:npub1hz5alqscpp8yjrvgsdp2n4ygkl8slvstrgvmjca7e45w6644ew7sewtysa is working on a very cool initiative in relation to this. The Nostr Booth is IMO a great way to make Nostr more “real” for bitcoiners by having a physical presence at all the conferences.

I know nostr:npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8 + nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 are doing some Podcast outreach. That’s super important too. nostr:npub16vrkgd28wq6n0h77lqgu8h4fdu0eapxgyj0zqq6ngfvjf2vs3nuq5mp2va and crew are putting on Nostriga. Amazing. nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr / nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg are doing great things with nostr:npub1spdnfacgsd7lk0nlqkq443tkq4jx9z6c6ksvaquuewmw7d3qltpslcq6j7, etc on the content side. I’ve got some things up my sleeve personally which I will begin to do once nostr:npub15xd2mmjnh3caykh77djsv73e0zkrp42jp5mwerx8f4m6su40wdvss7t3l3 is in a position to represent a NEW kind of Nostr-product..

But we need MOAR..

And…we also need to find another angle that is NOT about censorship resistance. That’s clearly not working against X.

I don’t know the EXACT narrative or spin, but it has to be more “running towards” than “running from”.

More white pill, less black pill.

Anyway.
I will probably turn this into an article. I’ve been thinking more and more about “writing in public” as we build Satlantis, and sharing more about how we’re thinking about growing a “network product” on top of a “network protocol”.

If you think this was valuable, please repoast so more people can see and get involved in the discussion.


THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO PROMOTE NOSTR IS TO USE IT.

At least here i'm not followed by 50 Japanese-women-looking bots trying to scam me


I’m really bullish on the next six months of Nostr development.

I don’t know if it’ll generate user growth in that time period, but I’m more confident that it’ll improve UX and applications, and thus bring in more capital for the next stage, which can then be used for more user acquisition.


Very cool: https://groups.nip29.com/

The other day, I didn't know how a government could securely hold Bitcoin, especially considering the risk of theft.

I now understand multi-signature agreements and how they secure a wallet. For example, you could generate three private keys, you know the first of them, entrust the second one to a custodial bank, and have your partner hold the third key.

In this setup, at least two parts are required to create a valid signature.

Multi-sig provides the security an entity or a country like El Salvador needs to hold Bitcoin.


Unfathomable wealth. Sound distribution. Bright future.


Javier Milei is pro Bitcoin.


Sometimes people ask me, “what if American bans bitcoin like they did for gold?”

1) That’s why it’s useful to engage politically. To prevent that draconian tail risk. And it’s working. Prevent any sort of anti-Bitcoin supermajority.

2) America had a supermajority in Congress when they did that for gold. They could override every check on power. That’s uncommon. We became highly collectivist for a period of time.

3) America literally put Japanese Americans in camps back then. But not German Americans. Because we were outright racist. And this was all pre civil rights for Black Americans too. Terrible.

4) This was all pre-internet. Centralized media. Few memes. The slow speed of communication was relevant.

The meme-work makes the dream work.

Life is good


Sometimes I run into a tech guy on Twitter, who talks about how cypherpunk he is.

I’m just a financial analyst and investor, so that’s cool to hear. The more cypherpunks, the better. I like to fund cypherpunks.

But then I look around, and he’s not active on Nostr for over a year. He’s only active on centralized social media.

So then I am confused at how supposedly cypherpunk he is. Is he really that reliant on centralized media? Often, it turns out yes. If not, what other cryptographic proof does he have for his work?

As Nostr increasingly gains network adoption, it becomes weirder when I analyze why someone who is techie is highly active on Twitter but not at all on Nostr.


This is how bullish I am on user-choice algorithms in the long run.

BRINDIS DE LOS BITCOINERS

No os preguntarán por mí,
que en estos tiempos a nadie
le da lustre haber nacido
en la era del fiat grande;
pero si pregunta alguno,

que, bitcoiner, a toda vena

pensé mucho, recé poco,
invertí bien, gané bastante
y, porque esa empresa libre
que siempre debió llamarme,
que, perdiendo enseña a todos,
que, triunfando cambia a nadie,
no quise salir del mundo
sin poner mis satoshis en la cadena.
¡Por Bitcoin!
y el que quiera defenderlo,
prospero muera.
Y el traidor que lo abandone,
no tenga quien le perdone,
ni en ninguna wallet cobijo,
ni un bloque en sus transacciones,
ni las manos de un buen minero
para confirmar sus operaciones.

I explained to her about the power of decentralised social media, similar to the way I taught her how to use the lightning network using WoS.

There are people who talk seriously about the US military backing the dollar, when they can’t even keep the Red Sea open against Houthis and their drones for the better part of a year now.

Literally half of their mandate is to keep global shipping lanes open, and they don’t know what to do about this. Sure, they could nuke half the world, but they can’t actually perform pinpoint military control at distance anymore.

Paper tiger.

Not only is their technology increasingly offsides from what exists out there, but morally they’ve lost the plot as well, and so nobody gives a shit at home either.

We find ourselves meming the situation in social media as they lack answers.


that algorithm idea is pretty good


Here’s an observation about shitty Twitter algorithms.

I’ve actually never blocked or muted anyone on Twitter. Never felt the need. 690k followers, countless comments, no filters.

If someone is an ass, I tend to just ignore them or akido them and move on.

I just went over to Twitter and checked my notifications. Some guy posted in an unusually negative way in one of my threads. For a brief moment, I was provoked. But then I looked: he has 8,700 posts and 6 followers. Briefly skimming his profile, it is pure negativity. Imagine this. Like actually take a moment to think about what that process feels like for him, let alone how he impacts others.

Posting eight thousand and seven hundred times, mostly negatively, and after well more than a thousand of those posts, someone elects to follow him.

The algorithm trains us to see this and get angry. When he shows up in our feed, he seems like a normal person who disagrees with us. But he’s not normal. Someone like that is literally and sadly more in the mentally ill camp, even as the algorithm presented him to us like any other normal person, saying we suck.

Imagine if we had more programmable filters and algorithms. Like, mute people with over a thousand posts but with less than one follower per five hundred posts. That filters him out, similarly to how we would visually filter out and thus physically avoid a man holding his own shit in his hand in public on a street, who needs help but not public attention and proximity.

The centralized algorithms we have normalized, are not real life.

We give people virtual access that we would not do publicly, partially because we can program our real-life algorithms with various behavior rules that we can’t do on most virtual platforms.

WE WERE TOLD ELON WAS ON HIS WAY.

TURNS OUT HE DOES NOT LIKE SPEAKING ON PLATFORMS HE DOES NOT CONTROL.


Holy shit, I think I just realized a direct and concrete way that I’ve personally experienced to how #Nostr completely changes the social incentives:

• Rage and hateful posts on Twitter get the most attention.
• Positive and happy posts on Nostr get the most zaps.

It really was just monetization all the time.

When attention is the currency, negativity and hate rise to the top because the platforms need people arguing.

When sats directly from peers are the currency, value rises to the top.

(Anyone else feel they’ve had this same experience?)

Biden announced he is not running for president on Twitter, a centralized company, via an account for which it is understood he doesn’t control directly.

When thinking about the future, this feels like such archaic technology in the present. This is a world where the SEC account was compromised not that long ago and posted market-moving false information.

If a president has nuclear codes, he arguably should also have a signing key for any important communications.


just bought again
i feel like a crypto bro
would saylor be proud of me?


for every upvote, i'll buy 1000 satoshis


SE BAJÓ BIDEN DE LA ELECCIÓN

you're not too late
buy the ATH


interesting


I'm sharing this with my friends


yeah, unfortunately I'm not in the US, I'm in Paraguay.
I managed to buy btc by creating another Kraken account (I had a weird bug trying to add a payment method and had to wait a month to add a new card) and using my driver's license for verification.


nevermind. kraken is the best kyc app.


why crypto.com doesn't support lightning? it's almost 2025 man

My id card expired. I am trying to buy BTC. Binance won't let me if I don't renew my ID, same with Kraken. Setting up an account on Strike requires ID verification, so I can't buy BTC there. Bisq requires me to use Strike or some other app, which probably requires ID verification. It is a pain in the ass. Bank transfers take days... I don't really know what's the easiest way. I think I'll wait until I get my new ID card, and then buy crypto from these KYC sites.


you won't believe what I'm building


keep going down Bitcoin
then I'll buy
$1M can wait


HAPPY FREEDOM DAY MURICA RAHH

good thing about nostr for now is that most of us are tech savvy, which is fun

I know, but it seems to me that you think creatively. so I asked


stupid question.
what happens when humanity becomes a multi planet civilization and we have multiple blockchains, one for each planet? how would you reconcile _the_ Blockchain? it would be impossible


oh man. You'll love it. Your PC will feel yours again.


what a nice book, damn it


I'm really into open-source money and social-media these days
It seems like everyone in the world is constantly on their phone, doomscrolling Facebook and Instagram, and they don't realize that smart people are building a better future today

A shocking number of people email me and ask about bitcoin price predictions over the next 3-9 months or so.

They’re generally along the lines of, “Okay, but what do you think the odds are that we have a big recession, get a liquify shock, and bitcoin retests $30k? I read this article by [insert macro permabear] and he said that…”

I’m going to start replying with nothing but my pictures of beaches or something. Very few people build wealth by trying to catch every twist and turn of the market. Focus on long-term trends. https://image.nostr.build/f6e7b51bb4c552e9c405ccdee42dd792e214f42a22184d18479e8b1c9b1a8dc7.jpg

Recommend me books about crypto and open source. I feel like reading


How is it safer to use Bitcoin as legal tender (El Salvador)? Isn't it riskier to have your country's money depend on how well you keep your private keys stored? Am I wrong in thinking that only one person needs to know the key to steal the whole wallet?


stop sharing twitter screenshots omc


I love reading, writing, artists and entrepreneurs.

Nostr is giving me the opportunity to serve them all AND telling the state to go pound sand by building unstoppable freedom tech..

Feeling incredibly thankful.

(yes, content creators ARE entrepreneurs)


you thought i left nostr huh. Ofc not. I'm here.


what's the difference between nostr and matrix?


Estáis emhrutecidos por el dinero. Solo queréis Zap. Diréis cualquier estupidez por un poco de satoshis. La maldición de nostr. La carnada sigue siendo la interacción, y muchos muerden el anzuelo.

You don’t have a #Nostr account. You have a key that signs events, and you publish those events, and then anyone who wants to read those events can do so by retrieving them from anywhere they exist. There’s no one to turn it off, there’s no account to suspend or restrict. There is simply information flowing to and from you and everyone else who uses it. This puts the power of speech back in our hands.


don't you find primal buggy?


I don't need to connect to a virtual machine to work anymore!!! finally I can use my nvim config!!!

Deactivated my twitter account

I have 30 days to reconsider or it will be permanently deleted

This is the start of my 30 day, full-time Nostr trial

Let the games begin


For those that are new to Nostr, hello!

What’s cool about it is that Nostr it is an open source protocol. It is not a centralized company, but rather is a protocol that individuals and companies can build upon.

This means that you can use many different applications to access it, or even build your own. And it means that there is no central authority that can take down posts or delete accounts; there are different servers operated by different entities that are storing the data. And there is no central algorithm for determining what posts people see or don’t see.

You can hook up a bitcoin lightning wallet to send and receive tips (“zaps”) on posts. Nostr itself is not a blockchain or crypto and has no token, but the Bitcoin blockchain does complement it well via zaps.

Nostr is still relatively small, and a bit rough around the edges. But the community here is great, and familiarizing yourself with the technology and concept is useful in a world of centralized social media. It is a new method of decentralization that balances various trade-offs in a novel way, and the protocol can be used for a lot more than just social media.

Welcome!


Hi Nostr,

nostr:npub14yf4yasnqgpkzjrzhysshglf82e8nkp8r9sn5hzqu4n244k3avtshhwpyu told me that some of the other girls have linked their IG accounts here to prove they are real, but I don’t have instagram. So here is my “Prove it, prove it” image, proving that I have started reading #theBitcoinStandard. https://image.nostr.build/5b12310a17ed352f3468821adb51e35035b2c5341eddea69cd67d38fe9db3ca3.jpg


in a sentence, tell me why nostr is going to win social media.


you want to replace a state with a company.
just accept it, there's a hierarchy. someone is in control at everytime.


? idiot. El Salvador is a different country than before. From being one of the most dangerous ones IN THE WORLD, to the safest in the continent. That's not debatable.

Today I discussed with the founder of Wikipedia my nostr implementation, wikifreedia.

We had a nice long chat about it.

At the end I asked whether I should import all Wikipedia articles.

“It will bias the type of information that is available in it and the tone”

I don’t think a wikifreedia-like system needs to be data-complete. I think it’s fine if it has only fresh, selected/curated entries that embrace their bias.

I say GN because I truly wish you the best night of your life.
they say GN for zaps.

What happens when all bitcoin is mined and wallets start to get lost because of people forgetting their keys or dying? eventually, even a sat will be too expensive, and scarcity will be massive. so, there needs to be another crypto, a next crypto, right? bitcoin is not perfect.


tell HR that you want your pay in crypto


China: “Remove all VPNs”
Apple: “Sure thing”

China: “…and podcast apps”
Apple: “Can do boss!”

China: “…and also hand over all iCloud data for our citizens”
Apple: “I mean why wouldn’t we? Here you go!”

EU: “Allow alternate app stores, and do it fairly”
Apple: “Ahhh hell no! This is so unfair you guys are bullies! Malware! Privacy! We have standards! Unlike you we care about our users!”

Fuck #Apple

GOOD MORNING NOSTR, WE ARE THE FEW, THE RIDE OR DIE, AND TOGETHER WE WILL CHANGE THE WORLD FOR THE BETTER 🫡


The past two years of bitcoin conferences I have been at have been bear market conferences.

And funnily, the energy was still really high at all of them. Pacific Bitcoin in 2022 occurred literally during the FTX dump to $16k and we were having an amazing time regardless.

Bitcoin Atlantis in Madeira has been the closest thing to a conference in a bull market for a while.

My single favorite thing at conferences is meeting people from so many countries. Within one example hour I met a woman from Saudi Arabia, a whole group from Bulgaria, someone from Bolivia, someone from Columbia, someone from Spain, and someone from South Africa. A woman from Malaysia really stuck out too and it was a great conversation.

There is no other asset that brings out so much hope and unity from people with such different backgrounds and experiences.

Thank you man!


DOOM ETERNAL IS SUCH A GOOD GAME


For me the straw that broke the camel's back was the moment I wanted to read some posts from a specific person and I needed an account to do that, otherwise it just shows tweets from a year ago. Like, it's a whole trap to get into the system, and they make it very hard to leave, it's awful. I thought Elon would have changed that, town square, open source, etc. Nothing happened.


I was really addicted to Twitter before. In fact, I tried to delete my account many many times, but they have this horrible trick of just deactivating your account for 30 days before deletion.
So I relapsed again and again. It's been 2 weeks now since I deactivated my X account,  so 2 weeks more to go until I can confidently say that my addiction to that platform is over.


Welcome to Nostr!

credit card, yes 😂


working well for me on the android app


so nostr and many of its clients are free, and to use farcaster I have to use warpcaster and pay a 5$ annual subscription.
nothing against subscriptions, but tbh nobody is there and I'm not paying 5 bucks to only read geohot until he gets bored and moves to the next thing.


what's special about farcaster?


I'm from one of the most Bitcoin-friendly countries, Paraguay.


Primal client is really beautiful


Which client do you recommend? I'm using Nostter but it is kinda buggy


I'm new on Nostr. I trusted Musk, but as George Hotz said in his last LinkedIn post, decentralized platforms is the way.
