Subnostr

I can't lie, this is my favorite newsletter. And because it's my favorite, I must provide you with some feedback (although you might not like what I'm going to say):

Anyway to subscribe to this newsletter besides email? You are covering a cutting edge technology, LN. You are also active here on nostr, a brand new decentralized social network.

You are on the cutting edge of technology, yet, subscribers can only receive this latest news using email technology which is almost 60 years old.

Don't you think it's time to upgrade to the fax machine?

I apologize but this has to be said since I stopped using the antiquated and non-secure email more than eight years ago.

If you'd like help in funding the upgrade of your newsletter to a more appropriate medium, I'm your guy.

Just saw this, sorry. Busy day in the fiat mines.

First, thanks for the very kind words. It's comments like that which help me keep publishing it when the subscription numbers aren't moving!

Second, it's a fair point. I've thought about better ways to publish and Nostr is an option. The only problem doing that is, not everyone interested in Lightning is on Nostr and most of the new subs are coming from Twitter these days.

Email is old but it still works and Beehiiv, the software I use, is very good. They're always updating it with new features.

I'm definitely open to any suggestions though! Cheers

Like I said, I'm ready to help, financially, if you can find a way (in addition to email) for me to subscribe.

I want your newsletter to reach me the instant it's published as opposed to me checking whether it got released or not.

Yes, I do find your newsletter that valuable. And yes, I do want it to grow and be better. I'm very impressed by you and your work.

Just some simple (stupid?) suggestions:

Every article can also be a note in nostr. That way I can zap it directly when I enjoy it. (perhaps creating a new non-personal account just for the newsletter?) this in turn will make sure I follow that account and in addition, I can boost the note as well to help circulation when I think it needs it.

Food for thought, thanks. I like the idea of a note thread of links. I'll look into setting up a Bolt Nostr account. Still waiting for Damus to implement multiple account management.

I'm never on IOS but I'm using both Amethyst and Plebstr and keep switching between them. If I ever needed a second account I'll just use one of those apps and continue switching between them.

I find this more robust than multiple accounts on a single app to avoid posting from the wrong account.
