Nostr Log Day 06:

Note: I will attempt to see what this... hashtag does as an experiment.

#Plebchain

Unsure what it is about this place but it brings something out in me. I'm not convinced it is a good thing. Not sure what it is I offer here that "adds value". Am I simply the "noise"?

Memes will have to suffice for now, as long as the lighthearted nature of this place seems to persist.

Zapping is a dangerous game.

The rush of it is hard to resist. Utilizing a verifiably scare unit of measurement, shot through cyberspace from my possession to someone else's is a radical feeling. I also do not want to come across as simply trying to stack these satoshis, but rather a participant in the economy. I should however remain vigilant to not burn up too quickly before I know what the future holds here.

Conversations about various lightning clients with others. I'm realizing I may be overcomplicating things for some. This could in turn dissuade them from continuing their own research.

As the pieces click for them at their own pace, hopefully it will seem less monumental an achievement to overcome.

Being one who used to consider themselves far from technically oriented, Bitcoin has apparently made me more proficient than I had realized.

Yet I still have a seemingly insurmountable amount to learn myself, especially about this place. I have been sort of coasting, yet unaware of what these NIP-05 even are or if it is even necessary to anything.

Best I can tell it's some sort of verification mechanism. Do I need to be verified? Surely my awakening daily is verification enough to me that I exist in some realm. Perhaps I will explore further.

Also. I now have over 60 of these nostriches following me. Responsibility to them weighs heavy on me. Thank you to those that are here, keeping me coming back and assisting in my . I am appreciate of the support. I hope to not be too much of a burden on your feeds.

Hopefully I'll figure out what the hell it is I'm doing here.

Don't question your value Poe - if a pleb collects enough of your he gets an empty bottle, and there's only like 4 of those in the entire world

I like the cut of yer jib

Trying to not take myself seriously but still provide something earnest.

No doubt. I love the memes but they can become an overwhelming force. We need some honest reflection to balance things out too.

I don't want to be only memes. But this being my first foray into them. Holy hell is it addicting.

And I don't want to be this unaware "nostr Log" either. I just feel I started I can't just stop. Unless consensus rules and I get negative reactions. I'll change my usage if need be.

Trying to mix match and stay humble. The smaller interactions helping each other figure all this out is more powerful.

Thanks for the support.

NIP-05 is (besides other important factors) a persistent identity you can take along with several timely serial npubs. See it with this (inaccurate) analogy:

Use an email provider with their domain, for example satoshi@gmx.com. Your tradeoff mix is: gain privacy, loose long term provider independent identity.

Use your own domain with an email provider, for example satoshi@example.com whereas you own example.com. Your tradeoff mix here: loose privacy, gain long term identity.
