Notes by radical | export

 Yesterday I had to hear my coworkers yap about Bitcoin, as I usually do whenever it hits an ATH. Had to hear them talk about how it is a Ponzi scheme, how it’s OBVIOUSLY going to 0 and how it’s useless. I don’t feel sorry for them anymore, I’ve tried, I’ve done my homework, they haven’t. 

Everybody buys bitcoin at the price they deserve. 
 Good morning and pura vida, Nostr! It's time to create notes and send zaps! 🤙🏻💜🫂

I t... 
 Felt something similar when I started running. It was runner’s knee. Fixed it by not stopping running and stretching a lot, theragunning and doing strength workouts. Also, knee specific exercises like sissy squats and a lot of mobility exercises. If it happened without you increasing the miles per week rapidly though I would assume it’s something different. Good luck! 
 (Also not trained in medicine so going to the doctor is probably the better idea) 
 Happy Monday!! #Nostr 

Last week was huge for #Bitcoin but let’s not forget there is still a lot of education left to do! Spent my free time last week placing @bitcoin.rocks signs around town.

We have to use bitcoin going mainstream as an opportunity to explain to people why bitcoin isn’t what mainstream culture tries to make it out to be!

Stay humble and stack sats 🤠 https://image.nostr.build/b3bf1d420ebd0f6306827cabe140d77f5fc1f4cffc350be2a3cdc5ed1d3f0375.jpg https://image.nostr.build/b21550024d1b2a888a0c2c27673a545efe28896210dbc0871cedb53a5990bc74.jpg https://image.nostr.build/ff4ae1a2f265b55bf2d8930d34283cc12224a1050ac82a17a06891517bdee791.jpg  
 Commute = listen to podcasts on #fountain 

Bitcoin podcasts have become white noise to calm my brain 🧘‍♂️💆 
 I need more friends in here 
 I so want to love #Nostr and its clients but I keep finding small issues that frustrate me…

Why does the zap feature not show up in Damus until I’ve clicked on the note? Can’t I zap directly from the feed?

Does the little lightning icon only show when someone else has zapped that note? How do I zap it if I’m the first one zapping it?

I feel like these things should not be happening

 So are you saying I need to wait while scrolling until a user’s profile has been cached? How long does it stay in the cache then? 

Thank you for your answer! 
 Got it, I don’t follow any hashtags since I opened this account a few days ago. I switched from another one but I used to use Primal on that one. Was just trying Damus because of the Alby connectivity. 

Somehow I’ve had a better experience with the zapping feature in Primal but I’ll wait a bit to see if the caching fixes these things.

Also, Primal can’t be used with an external primal wallet at all? Not too comfortable with depending on their wallet tbh 
 So, does primal not allow me to zap people unless I use their wallet? Is it not possible to use my own lightning wallet to send and receive zaps using Primal? 🤨 #primal #primalnostr #zaps #lightning #help #alby #albyhub 
 Wanted to be productive this morning but was so tired because I stayed up until 1 am last night setting up my AlbyHub node 
 Hello Nostr!
