I’m trying some Nostr clients and apps (Damus, Habla, Primal, Arcade). What other good stuff do you folks recommend me?

Olá, Ronald. Tem esse site que lista alguns. Espero que lhe seja útil: https://www.nostrapps.com/
Valeu! Darei uma olhada.
Eu estou usando o Coracle Social, tem funcionado bem.
Sobre criptomoedas sugiro o Monero, também é uma cripto cujo mecanismo de consenso é proof of work, como o Bitcoin, mas com mecanismos de proteção à privacidade bem mais avançados.
Valeu! Vou testar o Coracle.
Conheço pouco o Monero, ao qual só resolvi dar atenção por vê-lo tomado como inspiração pelo pessoal do DarkFi (um pessoal cheio de ideias interessantes, mas que está construindo em cima de um modelo que lembra muito o Ethereum, “smart contracts” etc., o que não me agrada, apesar do trabalho pesado de engenharia para o anonimato).
Enfim, vou ficar ligado.
Monero is just another FOSS project like Bitcoin, but traded transparent simple auditability for much better privacy. Simple examples:
Bitcoin transaction:
Alice sent $X to Bob
Monero transaction:
6% chance Alice sent $[?] to [?]
As you see amounts and recievers are completely hidden with Monero (uses confidential transactions and stealth addresses to achieve this. They don't appear on the blockchain at all). Coinjoining Bitcoin only obfuscates, but the transaction graph and range of connections and amounts still exist to be uncovered with more data or user mistakes.
Save with Bitcoin, spend with Monero if you value privacy.
But why then accumulate something that cannot be spent? What is the purpose of savings other than be spent in a foreseeable future? So, why not hold your savings direct in some privacy enhanced tech?
This is advice for curious Bitcoiners not necessarily Monero maxis.
If they think Bitcoin will continue to be the best Store of Value it makes sense. I can't really blame them for thinking this if historically this has been the case. None of us know the future for sure. And they have nothing to lose by continuing to save in Bitcoin and only using Monero to spend.
You can either swap to Monero or have a small amount of Monero that you replenish for spending.
