Even with the “mindless way” you’ll still learn how open/close channels, be mindful of on chain fees, balance channels, and develop a network of other noderunners. Might be a nice way to start. I just started. Not 100% convinced I’ll be doing this long-term but I’m learning a ton along the way and meeting great people. 🤙

Oh hmm, it was working on the iOS simulator, but same, can’t get it to prompt to save passwords on the create account flow. I’ll look into this when I get a chance. But for now, manually create an entry with damus.io as the URL, npub as the username, and nsec as the password. It’ll give you the option to login with that after it’s in the password manager.


Hmm… I don’t see any indicator that allows me to use a pw manager. Can someone post a screenshot?

Sounds like we need to do Nostr Indonesia at some point


Got a bottle in my fridge ;)


Yea… Indo food is no joke


And another recipe I found. Haven’t used this one yet.

https://recipesindonesia.com/indonesian-sambal-recipes/sambal-bajak-eastern-java-style/


My grandfather was Indonesian and put it on everything. I haven’t been able to find it in the Asian stores recently but I’ve made my own and it’s easy. Here’s the recipe:
https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_e8da695421d8d036ab72ad5654e326665f25d33c7f1f867cd6a2ee8bc556dc22.jpeg

Sambal oelek is awesome. But if you ever see sambal bajak you need to try it. It’s got garlic in it as well and is really well rounded. My favorite.


Thanks!
Great idea. Things are moving so quickly we are trying to figure out the best way to provide value. Explaining the technical aspects of Nostr definitely fits that goal. And we’re not in if the the money, we’re in it for the plebs! 🤙


I really wish the previous two posts were reversed


Turns out we were wrong about that damn balloon the whole time. #FuckTrudeau 🍁 👳🏿♂

As a physician ( #[0] ) I can appreciate the great power of medicine to transform our health and state of mind. While we don’t condone illicit substances on NR we are fascinated by this read by #[1] who draws parallels between the transformative experiences of discovering Bitcoin and LSD. Add Nostr to that list of major discoveries or inventions.

#[2]


It has been a really long day.  I got to have some much needed quality family time.  That means I haven’t been able to nostr as much as I’d like.  It’s nice to know that #[0] has my back.

You need a cloth diaper line my friend. For all the shitposting 🤙


We’re gonna have to spin up a network of #plebchain relays


A message from the NostReport team:

We love the discussions popping up around notifications, tagging, and post length with NostReport. We are a group of plebs that are enthusiastic about Nostr and its potential for changing social networking, its ability to be a vehicle for the value-4-value model and bitcoin adoption, and ultimately its by-design nature that gives us each ownership over our identity and data.

We started NostReport because we saw a need for some way to keep up with the rapid pace of development here. We are early, all of us. As users, client devs, relay operators, nip-05 providers, content hosting providers, and content creators, etc., we are ALL early. In just the last few weeks there have been so many improvements implemented across these segments that it’s very easy to forget how far Nostr has already come.

Regarding NostReport specifically, we had a lengthy discussion amongst our team and we believe it is important to continue giving proper credit and attribution by tagging relevant accounts where appropriate. We will use our best editorial discretion in doing so, but we don’t have any plans to change that approach. We acknowledge that the “earliness” of all of this means not everything works exactly the same as it may if we were on another platform. But we are not on those platforms for a reason, and so we all deal with the growing pains of not yet having features that we wish existed.

Some features we hope to see implemented include the ability to manage notifications, including muting notifications stemming from a specific post/thread. We would also like to see clients truncate longer posts to a certain character count and then giving users the option to “view more.” We have seen this feature on snort.social and believe it is a good way to handle long form posts. Longer form posts also get harder to read with the way some clients auto-refresh their feeds. Even if you click on a post to open it sometimes the client randomly kicks you out of that view and back to the home feed and you lose your place completely. We suggest an option to turn off auto-refresh and give users a way to manually refresh when desired. We would like to see a better way to preview posts and formatting/tagging before publishing. Currently we must DM them to ourselves, which results in even more unwanted notifications for users we tag. We are happy to give feedback or discuss further with any devs that would like more input.

Lastly, we want to reiterate why we’re here. We love Nostr. We want to see it continue to grow and succeed and give everyone back control of their voice and online identity. We appreciate you following NostReport and hope that you’ll continue to give us feedback on how we can improve. Stay classy Nostr. 🤙


Cc #[3] #[4] #[5]


Complaining about the #[1] long form issue when we are this early is ignoring the much bigger long form issue that will occur when Nostr gains millions of users.


Complaining about the #[0] notification issue with when we are this early is ignoring the much bigger notification issue that will occur when Nostr gains millions of users.


Worse, much worse


I think that helps fix the long form issue. But not the other issue of notifications that #[2] brings up. For this I think clients need to enable users to mute or snooze/turn off notifications similar to how telegram or signal do it. Maybe even for certain threads that get out of control (eg, anytime someone envokes the “he who shall not be named” bot)


Cc #[21]


I completely agree. #[18] is just the first mover in a nascent space to bring up this issue. Asking users to voluntarily push all long form content outside of Nostr won’t fix the problem as it doesn’t prevent someone else from doing it (eg,#[21] ). There needs to be a client focused solution, or if Nostr is truly for short form content then a character limit in the protocol itself.


We’re flattered that you think we’re a bot, but in reality we’re just a group of fiat miners who are rabid Nostr fans. Thanks for the sats though!

#[0]  - if you have nostr FOMO like me then youll need the daily report.

#[1] - because he could probably teach Bitcoin to a rock. He may have already done so.

#[2] & #[3] - because they are dope, bleeding heart bitcoiners and build cool shit.

#[4] - a phenomal "relay" of information.

#[5] & #[6] - becuase theyre legends and for updates on leading iOS and Android client development.

Using the Bitcoin template for Nostr
#[0]

We’ve done this before. We found a protocol unknown to the world and hardened it with memes, cringe takes and based opinions. It was forked, we saw block wars; it was ridiculed, it was ignored. The result is the world’s best store of value, a beacon of hope for the masses, and a protocol that is hard as steel. So we stack sats, humbly or not, and say “Bitcoin fixes this” to everything.

Now we have a second protocol in Nostr we will deploy the strategies most familiar to us. We will reuse every meme, every cringe take, every based opinion, and nobody can stop us. People complain about based Bitcoiners, the Maxis, the Plebs, the toxic cast iron psychos. Disclaimer: we don't care. We are based because we learned the value propositions of Bitcoin and understood them for facts because that's what they are. And now that we are on Nostr we are coming for a fresh Round 2.0 of “fixes this”.

Bitcoin hasn’t fixed everything, mostly because it hasn’t gained widespread adoption. But the way to spread an uncensorable monetary system is through an uncensorable social network. Bring people together, allow them to trade value for value and a free flow of ideas.

BREAKING: Damus App Store submission APPROVED!

**Tech Giants Will become Nostr Clients**

#[0]

Tech giants will become #Nostr clients not because they can, but because they will be forced to. Unfortunately this is not a good prediction; a good prediction says not only what will happen, but also when, and I cannot predict the latter. For decades, tech giants like Facebook and Twitter have been enjoying their monopolies gained from seigniorage. This benefited two generations greatly: the boomers and their children. Out of leisure they happily accepted the product as presented to them. Over time, social media was forced to monetize, and users were herded onto platforms they didn't sign up for. The easiest way to monetize free products to users was by selling the user’s attention to advertisers.

Just like no one bought a laptop without an OS, the OS was considered free of charge when in fact it was bundled with bloatware paid for by advertisers.
So, for the first time, the keepers of massive social media platforms have been taunted with a viable decentralized competitor. Will they pivot to the Nostr protocol? Yes, I think they’ll be forced to. Will they create algorithms to manipulate and profit from users? Of course they will. Will they be able to create elaborate walled gardens to monetize your data? Not anymore. Early nostr users flocked to an idea that liberates us from these giant abusive platforms, and more will follow. We now have the luxury of choice.

I just realized that this will probably spawn a new service where Twitter will hold your “private keys” as a custodial service for you via your profile - connected to your email address.  Then they will get to say they are “decentralized” but they continue their charade.   This will be SBF with #Bitcoin all over again 🤯. If Twitter doesn’t, some other organization will try it.  Remember #plebchain, not your keys not your voice!!!


Rough day in the fiat mine, putting out fires left and right. Haven’t had a chance to see what’s new on Nostr but I know the team at #[0] is working hard to keep the plebs updated!  🤙


Thank you! Focused on CME, promotion, and credentialing for physicians. Happy to hop on a call or something if interested. 🤙


🚨NostReports Sunday Oped Special🚨
Many new Nostrich hatchlings know the feeling.  You open up whatever client you hear about (astral.ninja, snort.social, nostrgram, etc), you figure out that you have to hit the “Generate Key” button, you somehow save your private keys in a way that would make Satoshi cry, and you stare at a constantly updating global feed from a bunch of usernames you have never heard of.  Now what??  That was me, the week before Christmas 2022, what the hell do I do now?  That’s when I noticed a guy named @ npub1tvqc82mv8cezhax5r34n4muc2c4pgjz8kaye2smj032nngg52clq0rkrq4 on the global feed who kept using the hashtag #plebchain.

Now, we all bring some Twitter baggage with us to Nostr, and for me, that baggage was not feeling good enough to follow people randomly. Why should I?  I’m a nobody, and it’s not like they will ever follow me back.  But this was a new platform and a new paradigm, so I put that behind me and I followed Quiet Warrior.  To my surprise, he responded to me in the simplest of words - “Followed.  #plebchain.”  Quiet Warrior FOLLOWED ME BACK!  Why would he do that? I have Chungus in my name?  Pleb after pleb, I started seeing “Followed. #plebchain.” Over and over again.   It was magic.

In one of Quiet Warrior’s first posts, he explained that #plebchain was about the concept of value for value, you follow me, I follow you, and let’s do it before all the big accounts and bots get here.  Little did we all know that this simple concept would blossom into a movement.

I reached out to Quiet Warrior to get his take on how this has grown, and here is what he said:

“I was really one of the forgotten plebs on twitter.  Our first week on Nostr was like a birds first flight, absolutely liberating.  I have never talked to so many like-minded, beautiful people.  There is tremendous power in the community.  I wanted to secure that. Hence #Plebchain.  As it progressed my mind continued absorbing the power that the chain really can provide.  Satoshi writes about a peer-to-peer network.  What are the peers?  Plebchain.  In essence the Bitcoin network is built on the plebchain layer 0.”

“I also wanted anyone coming in fresh to Nostr to have a simple way to connect and secure the same experience I was having.  Follow for Follow is powerful because when you gain followers you gain a voice.  The algos kill our voice.”

As I think about Quiet Warrior’s words, I can’t help think about what #plebchain means to me.  It is all about breaking the top down communication network of Twitter, where massive influencers tell you how to think.  The plebchain is a hive mind for good ideas to propagate.

Why does Nostr and this plebchain concept resonate so well with Bitcoin?  As Robert Breedlove says in his “What is Money” podcast – “In a central bank economy, if prices go up, you don’t know if it’s Jerome Powell’s monetary policy, or real people, expending real resources, to obtain a real asset that cause the price increase.  #Bitcoin disentangles signal from noise.”

In a centrally controlled communications protocol, if a message propagates, you don’t know if it’s the twitter algorithm, or its real people, expending real attention, to express a real fact.   #Nostr, and specifically the #plebchain, secured with #lightning, disentangles signal from noise.

That is what #plebchain means to me.  What does the #plebchain mean to you my fellow plebs?

Too kind and unnecessary at this point! Things calmed down and she thinks this is “just another hobby” of mine. But it’s not. This is the same as when I went down the bitcoin rabbit hole.  I won’t tell her that though 😛

This cements QW’s place as the first nostr influencooor


Haha it wasn’t super pleasant. But back to normal craziness around here now


Thank you 🙏


Thank you brother! Happy NY to you as well. It went right back out of my wallet to Amethyst development. 🤙


I know 😂 She literally just rolled her eyes at me. “this time is different I swear!”

“Oh yea, what about brewing, leather craft, woodworking, etc etc etc”

I don’t know if showing her all the support from you guys will help, but at least this hobby isn’t costing us any money. If anything it has the potential to create cash flow due to value for value.


Holy shit, you guys are incredible. By the way, everything is getting donated to amethyst dev

#[2]


Nostriches… I could use your help. My wife just found out that I started #[0] She’s worried that between being a full time physician, working on a healthcare startup, and having a newborn and 3 other kids that I won’t have time for this. She doesn’t realize that I’m not alone at NR, and that we have a ton of support from the Nostr community.

Would you be so kind to just send a couple of sats (5 or 10 would make the point) and maybe a message? I don’t really know how else to demonstrate to her what Nostr is and what it means to me…

Im sick to my stomach. I’ve created a monster. https://media.tenor.com/WBG19BGf7d8AAAAM/its-alive-gene-wilder.gif


Good people can do bad things. I don’t know Larry, but he did a bad thing here. It is right for him to be called out and confronted for it.


🚨 Breaking News 🚨

#Larrychain going stale? Pleb can’t find another Nostrich to get PAID to take this NFT off his hands. Deep bear market for Larry related NFTs incoming??? https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_f69f64da9f33a274cef9437b291cd36dd4cefc32ea45d44fbf627739161c3684.jpeg

Morning! We put together a recap of the day over at #[2]

Just a warning though, careful of opening the global feed 😬


Back when I owned an IT consulting and services company and my partner was trying to screw me, I was a fan of the old saying "if you give someone enough rope they'll hang themselves". It turns out this saying is still applicable today. Cool.

**RE: Nostr Plebs ToS Violation**

I would have been okay with someone registering these names and using them for specific purposes, such as posting Tesla car facts or Nikola Tesla facts or someone that's a YouTuber. These are clear use cases. However, when this person registers 8 IDs on our platform, it's a clear case that these are not the intentions. Furthermore, the Tesla npub has been changed to reflect the name Tesla Motors.

I have always tried to hold Nostr Plebs to the highest degree of customer support and transparency. I have always tried to do right by the community. I have always tried to do right for the Nostr Plebs brand. I said that in the future, NIP-05 ID providers would be judged and scrutinized based on their reputation.

It seems like that future is now. Nostr Plebs will stand for integrity and authenticity. Though again, we are not a verification service, but that doesn't mean that we won't hold ourselves to any sort of standards.

We have suspended the IDs apple@nostrplebs.com, tesla@nostrplebs.com and youtube@nostrplebs.com due to these accounts having profiles that try to partially impersonate the companies and seem to be bought for the sole purpose of resale value. We will open up these names later for legitimate use. We are also investigating another 4-5 accounts.

Hey, if you guys can RT this on the bird app, I’m trying to get HodlMagoo onto Nostr. Also, trying not to piss off #[0] and get kicked off nostrplebs.com for violating TOS 😅

**Today on nostReport**

BREAKING ON NOSTR:

To the dismay of 99.7% of Nostr, #[0] reports that #[1] is actually sending hugs and **NOT** movie cameras #[2]

#[3] reports final dates of #Nostrica are March 19-21 in Uvita, Costa Rica.  #[5] reports that 295 people are attending to date #[6]. #[7]

If you have time to read one thing today… #[8] explains why bitcoin is “better than money” in 🔥note. #[9]

You may have noticed Vanity Keys popping up around Nostr.  Our own Jack Dorsey reports on just how to get those #[10] . Try your own here https://hitony.com/nostrogen/

If you noticed the #plebchain feeling wonderfully long today, well it’s because of all the new accounts created.   #[12] reports that 6,100 new nostr users joined the network in the last 24 hrs #[13]

Congrats to the meme of the day #[14] from #[15]

And finally, #[16] asked for it ( #[17] ), and we delivered 🤙

**If you have a late breaking news story you’d like to share with the nostReport send a DM to #[18] with the Note ID for our team to review.  The best of the best will be shared with the community!**


Great idea!!!

#[2]


Started working on this yesterday!! Please reach out to #[0] , #[1] , or #[2] if you’d like to contribute!

#[3]


👍 Which do you use and why?


I was just watching you crush through all those replies. Impressive


Lol… are you using chatgpt3 to respond to reply guys?


Would be ironic if you guys used starlink🖕


Thank you ⚡ 😎 🫂


Just under the wire my man!!!!


Have you guys used all of the services listed? I’m in the States. Is there one I should start with based on geographic location and ease of use?


**Why aren't your Bitcoiner friends using nostr?**

I don't get it. They like decentralization and censorship resistant money, but they don't value those features for communication? If they tried nosrt a month ago and were turned off by the performance and user experience, tell them to have another look.

* Web
  * astral.ninja is feature rich, stable, and faster compared to last month.
  * snort.social now exists and is probably the *best* web client, imo.
  * iris.to looks great and is very smooth.
* Android
  * Amethyst is probably the best option availbe, though not complete
  * Nostrid is the second best available option, imo.
* iOS
  * Damus is full, nothing we can do about that.
  * Arc is another client, though very early.


I’d happily pay 5% for kyc free


**Stack your bitcoin the KYC-free way**

These platforms below allow you to stack bitcoin with zero KYC information. Some require a small learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, they're not all that difficult.

✅ HodlHodl
✅ RoboSats
✅ Bisq
✅ Peach

**Don't mix your stacks!**
When you use these platforms, don't send the sats to the same wallet as your KYC stack. This taints your KYC-free sats!

---

Other ways to get KYC-free bitcoin include home mining, coin-join/mixing services, and sending and receiving sats across the Lightning network.


How much of a premium do you typically pay on these services? This is next on my list after setting up non-custodial lightning channels.


Snagged 22 and 23. LFG #nostrchain!!!

I think anything that was slow cooked is twice as good reheated. Can’t explain it either! My kids also hate on LO night


You bougie MFer. A whole two dozen????

A kettlebell… if we are doing a road trip I throw it in the car. That’s pretty much all I need for a solid workout.

Another benefit, it’s solid cast iron for the maxis (#[2])


That looks good… bigger issue is the carryover. Not a fan of haddock flavored bacon.


The only exception is I occasionally use a ceramic coated cast iron for 🐟.


I am a cast iron maxi though. Fuck SS


There's a Twitter Space going on right now with about 1,000 people in it learning how they can mine some Shitcoin called Pi on the mobile phones. The differences between Twitter and Nostr are just astounding.


This will work. As long as the protocol is out of their hands, the clients and their algos will be subject to their customers wallets.


Love it… also I hope you know i was being sarcastic. I’m enjoying the space as it is right now. Ad free, mostly scammer free, mostly influencer free, etc

 Value for value is an incredible model


💯 Some company is going to come into the space and find a way to “break” Damus, or astral, etc. And we’ll just move on because Nostr DGAF🖕


Wen Nostr ads?


What they don’t want you to know that 99% of people are actually in the middle, but the middle doesn’t sell clicks for ads!!!


Yea the echo chambers are super interesting. I have one nym on BT twitter and the second is the real me used on med Twitter. Couldn’t be more different. Personally, I’m somewhere in the middle.

Left > me < right
Vegan > me < carnivore
No sunscreen > me < sunscreen (only mineral)
Vax > me < anti-vax (not kids, I was part of the trial for HCWs)


For a custodial solution try Wallet of Satoshi. Cick on receive —> lightning address. You can use that address for tips on NOSTR if that’s what you’re trying to do


There are still plenty of future citadels here shoukd you change your mind


Haha luckily my wife is a Midwest girl and got me away from the east coast. Taxes 🤌 as well


Hahaha… and here I thought you were some creative genius


Sick banner. Got any tips on where to get or how to make?


You’ve been essential to DOC’s success QW. Here’s my current NOSTR stack:

- #[3] on typeography and soon to be bitcoin dad 👶
- #[4] my coffee run partner ☕
- #[5] on media 🎥
- #[6] on GIF tech support 💻
- #[7] on Nostr puns and dad jokes 🤭
- #[8] tagging department 🏷
- #[9] on 🫂’s

Thank you team!


Maybe we will get filtering based on followers or NIP05 domains. Bot accounts can also be blocked at the registration level for example as part of their terms. What say you #[3]


Feels like everyone on nostr has pure intentions of helping others out. I haven’t seen this anywhere in real or virtual world before 😑 Respect 🫡


Seriously though… I’m no computer scientist but isn’t the Turing test kind of a big deal?


That bot wasn’t as bad as the Iranian scammer who kept interacting with him


Just don’t invoke he who shall not be named


I think this thread is starting to break Damus


Thanks surf… QW do we have the same due dates? I forget… 1/17 for us


Damn, the sats bots coming in hard


That would be incredible. I don’t have a fancy blockclock like you but I’ll get a pic https://timechaincalendar.com/ open


I swear it’s never happened to me 😬


Nostr without reliable gifs would be like going back to the dark ages a 3-weeks ago


I have a feeling this weekend. Baby dropped. You??


I’m a geriatric nostrich give me a beak


Figured out what I was doing wrong! Didn’t open the gif in a new tab before copying url.  Was clicking on “save link”.


It was a liotta… did linking to tenor gifs break?


Sounds like you need an iPhone


Oh you probably can’t see it 😏 #damus


Ooohh… has the carousel for multiple pictures always been here?


4 TB incoming!!!


Derek


Well his name is #[3]


Have you met my friend? #[6]


You absolutely deserve it. You are a cornerstone of this community. Thanks for doing what you do.


Nope, NY originally. But my wife is an Ohio girl, so it was either eastern Ohio or PA. Dead giveaway.


“Needs fixed”… you from western PA?


Did this go through? If not send another


Maybe change the button color once clicked? Also, url link only works if the site you’re directing to ends in .gif or .jpg. Some sites don’t link to their images like that (eg, imgflip(dot)com)

*Which* nostrplebs NIP05 domain is the most popular? Can you share numbers?


#[0]
 nostrplebs NIP05 domain is the most popular? Can you share numbers?


Slinging sats ⚡on Nostr is the best value to entertainment ratio EVER

**Remind me of this in 20 years** (by the way, someone needs to spin up one of those reminder bots!!)


Got you 😜 🤙

Your invoice didn’t render on Damus though


Great! I may take you up on that. Appreciate the help 🤙


Love the community you guys are creating here 🤙 And I listened in to spaces last night while working out. Was great hearing from you and others building on NOSTR like #[3] Thanks for all you’re doing!


🎉🎉Nostr Plebs Milestone: Today we surpassed 1,000 registered NIP-05 IDs🎉🎉

Our humble beginnings still hold true today. We're plebs building services for other plebs in the #Plebchain. We're building services for other Bitcoiners and the greater nostr community.

We started out as just *me* registered NIP-05 IDs for a couple friends before realizing that I could turn this into a full fledged service for fellow Nostriches.

I teamed up with my friend #[0] so that we could bring you a fully automated application to register your ID and manage it yourself. You can update your public key, perform NIP-05 ID verification, and configure your Lightning address. We also added a directory of Nostr Plebs users and plan on adding more features to the directory over time.

Supporting our users and providing impeccable customer support is one of my most important missions with NostrPlebs.com. To help us meet our goals, we launched a help center with answers to frequently asked questions, a live support chat app for our website, and we're in the process of adding beginner resources and guides to our website.

We're not stopping there though. We'll be adding more services such as relay access for basic members, a higher tier of access for premium members, email integration, and we're doing experience with Jam Systems to create a Twitter Spaces clone, but built for Nostr. *People really seem to be enjoying the last one!*

Thank you for all of your support over the past few weeks. We wouldn't be here without all of your support , feedback, and love.

❤


If you're working on a Nostr client, you'll want to check out #Plebchain and #Stackchain. If you can render those threads properly without crashing your client or hindering performance, then you've passed the ultimate stress test.


Damn, anyone else having trouble clicking on links to notes?


I’m thinking I’ll move to start9 as well. Haven’t been super happy with my umbrel on my raspberry Pi, but I think my power supply isn’t the most consistent and that may be causing some issues. It works for what I need it for… accessing the mempool and occasional on-chain transactions. Thanks for the tip! I’ll check out #start9


Thanks D. I’ll check it out


Derek, do you think this is an easier route than setting up lightning on the umbrel? I’m pretty tech savvy but definitely not at the level to where I’m setting up different servers to run custom scripts that hide my IP, etc, etc


Give me a dying trauma patient, an impossible airway, or a challenging transesophageal echo any day. Not super confident I’ll be getting that node up and running anytime soon though…

https://i.nostrimg.com/6ff1f207.gif


Very cool… so basically solves the same problem that a lot of those alt coins were attempting to solve and shilling their utility tokens (eg, ICP)? Thanks for explaining!


We good!! Maybe just needed more time?

https://nostr.build/i/2965.jpeg


Hmm… so what am I doing wrong? Added all the relays, look like some aren’t connecting. Could it be an issue on the relay side?

How do I rebroadcast?

https://nostr.build/i/2959.jpeg


Thanks Derek. Also check your DMs if you get a chance. Had an unrelated question for you


Yes, read the doc and I added all 3 relays. Still have the same error message though


Yea I’m having the same issue here

https://nostr.build/i/2948.jpeg


No fucking way… you bastards really did it?!? That’s awesome


Welcome brother! Everyone here has been extremely generous. Just enjoy yourself and meet some fellow nostranauts. Hey #[4] is that the correct term?


You too brother. Maybe our kids will share a block 🙏


Congrats! We are due 1/17
