 Has anyone here used Relayble? nostr:note12hekh7edzduqpnym9dsau55cqhkzmkc3mea7eydwyem9nv28ch2q9qtmyd 
 nope. i don't even know what it is. 
 Service still sucks when I go out to eat in Austin. Not sure if it’s because the servers are regarded, management is not providing sufficient staff, or because I look like a hobo. 😂 
 Maybe all 3 😂 
 The funny thing is I just went to a restaurant in my swim/workout shorts and slippers. Sat at the bar for like 20 min trying to order food and MF wouldn’t even look at me. People who came in after me ordered before me, so I just walked out and grabbed a burger down the street. 😂 
 I dunno. I left SF in 2021. Service used to be good back in the day. Maybe cause I'm asian and blend in better there. 😂 
 @ben and whoever else has been wondering what the hell is up with no updates to any of the Primal apps. We finally got a response. nostr:note1dcezvlcnr7ja25ykcfzmjzvlx6j7rt6yc2fqs2nwtvmx89ph9hgqdj3ffz 
 since we're getting radio silence on the status of development of the  @primal web app, I deployed a fork to fix the infinite loop bug that made the app unusable for me with this account. if anyone else is having the same infinite loop problem as me, feel free to use my fork. i also plan to add the ability to zap with other lightning wallets besides alby.

https://primalfork.vercel.app 
 People have probably deployed others 
 code is here if you wanna verify what i've changed
https://github.com/SamSamskies/primal-web-app 
 Thanks. I’ve posted about this many times and no one has ever responded. I’ll just use my fork until they deploy their changes. 
 They don’t even comment on the issues or PRs on the web repo 
 I thought the web app was abandoned 
 You probably had the same infinite loop problem I had if my fork is working better 
 The bug only affects some npubs 
 Nostr would be in a better place if we could follow topics. 

But it seems topics require algorit... 
 @Alex Gleason 🐍 will figure it out. He’s a magician. 🚀 
 help a girl out: how do i switch between nostr profiles on mobile?? lol 😂 
 Tell me you’ve only tried Damus without telling me you’ve only tried Damus 😂

 We finna set up thousands of ditto instances 🚀 nostr:note1kx7lau2g3u0tzyekejzvuvgp5h2sd04dj9lq645eu3f63frkuq5sxkneaa 
 ditto looks nice 
 Ditto good 👍 
 Give me some feedback about amber and citrine, the good and the bad. 
 Haven’t had any issues with Amber yet. Has been working seamlessly. Haven’t tried Citrine. 
 I wonder why they don’t support nip-07. It’s really simple to add support for that. Even adding support for nip-46 is easy with nostr-login. 

https://github.com/nostrband/nostr-login 
 They solve the problem of not having to copy pasta your nsec everywhere. On web I use @Alby extension for nip-07. On iOS I use @nostore. @Amber uses nip-55 and is what I use on Android. https://nsec.app works for any platform. 
 NOSTR HAS BEEN MY ONLY SOCIAL MEDIA FOR A YEAR NOW AND IT IS FUCKING AWESOME.

WE HAVE MADE INSAN...

 Check out @zhaklina on @fountain_app.  I just heard her music for the first time on It’s a Mood. Good stuff. 🤙

 Add your @fountain_app lightning address to your Nostr profile so we can zap you 😀 
 @merryoscar is there a reason the profile edit page in Fountain doesn’t allow you to enter a lightning address? 
 @wavlake and @fountain_app I hope you have plans to make a year in review thing like Spotify 😀 
 If you’re using Alby Hub, you have to make sure you have at least one channel open with outbound liquidity 
 In that case, that’s not the problem. Problem is probably on @primal's side. Unfortunately they have been unresponsive about people reporting bugs. It’s unclear if they’re even still working on the apps. 
 Instead of rushing to get a VPN just so you can lock yourself inside Elon's prison now, what Braz... 
 Your nsec unlocks your identity. Protect it. 
 Check out @Amber if you have an Android. And there’s always good ol nsec.app and nak. Choose your adventure. 🚀

https://nsec.app

https://github.com/fiatjaf/nak?tab=readme-ov-file#start-a-bunker-locally 
 Why would they need your nsec? Their software could just ask you to sign a nostr event which can be done without giving them your nsec. 
 @fountain_app relay is busted can’t load the feed in the app. Tried both iOS, and Android. I even tried querying the relay directly and it’s not returning any events. 
 Oh actually mine wasn’t either. Maybe something else is wrong. Their relay is still timing out when I try to query it though. 
 Okay boys we’re switching it up to 100 hanging turbo hoola hoop thrusts a day until 100k 😂 
 nak is for reals the nostr army knife. I feel like a magician when I use it. 😂

https://github.com/fiatjaf/nak 
 Preserve your nsec, and think 100 times before entering it somewhere. 

It's literally your digit... 
 I’ve switched to storing an encrypted version of my private key and copy that around instead the raw private key or nsec

https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/49.md

You can use nak to encrypt your private key. 

https://github.com/fiatjaf/nak?tab=readme-ov-file#encrypt-key-with-nip-49

For login, I usually use nip-07, nsec.app, Amber, or run my own bunker using nak. 
 Clients can’t post notes that are not signed by your private key 
 That’s one of the rules of Nostr that will never change just like how the 21 million cap of Bitcoin will never change 
 is it dead?

 I’m still exploring the Nostr universe (Nostrvrs?)

I wrote a post on Primal and I don’t see ... 
 It looks like you don’t have any relays set up on Primal. Primal uses a different relay list than Damus. Damus is following an old spec and haven’t gotten around to using the new spec yet. 

https://image.nostr.build/8365aa38382ecd877b08349ee31642b0ca5d86048e1425ce865e5c26bbd65a19.png 
 My guess is Primal only broadcasted the note to their relay. It will not automatically propagate to other relays. 
 Yeah unfortunately you have to add it there as well. It’s under Settings => Network. There’s only 2 relay list specs though so you should be good in all clients after you do that. 
 Do you think Fight Club is an overrated movie? 
 No. Fight Club is awesome.

 I can’t believe people are voting for the underlines 😂 
 You could just launch it and see what happens. I think @The Fishcake🐶🐾 implemented some AI thing to auto-block CSAM. 
 I tried uploading this and got an endless spinner. Also, the upload form auto zooms on mobile when you click into the input. Think it would be better if it didn’t do that. https://i.nostr.build/onKooARh3NNYIeNO.gif  
 Ship it 🚀 
 I was able to upload the @yellow fire gif 
 Is @primal rebuilding all their apps or something? It’s been a while since any updates to any of their apps. Still a major bug on the web app too. Last commit on the web app was 4 months ago. 

https://github.com/PrimalHQ/primal-web-app/issues/86 
 Why the radio silence though? Why not just let people know they’re rebuilding so people don’t waste time making PRs? 
 The worst part about nostr is the npub
Why don't we normalize NIP05 sharing instead of npub shari... 
 Njump serves cached HTML of all nostr events so it’s also fast
