Nostr Web Client

My nostr journey began on May 19 2022, when the block height was 737,029. I set sail through the storied Bitcoin Triangle, decentralization, security, and scalability. Hoping the historic currents first noted by Satoshi Nakamoto would mask my passage into good times created by strong men.

For 187,715 blocks I navigated the same reefs that once caused my fellow plebs to lose their freedom: Ross Ulbricht back in the bitcoin OG days, and in the meantime freedom tech devs such as Keonne Rodriguez and William Lonergan Hill, along with several nameless plebs never spoken about publicly. During this period I had no access to any nostr relay and kept a low profile amid the bitcoiners as well.

Fast forward to today, with the block height now at 924,744, the memory of that expedition still lingers. Just a handful of difficulty adjustments ago, a sudden squall capsized my auxiliary boat and the hardware signing device that held my hard earned bitcoin stack. Though I was rescued by a digital immigrant, the loss of bitcoin in my boating accident was irreversible. Just as the old castaways before Laszlo's pizza day lost their supplies to the sea by failing to back up their seed.

I welcome all the well known nostr OGs ( nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 , nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s , nostr:npub1ktt8phjnkfmfrsxrgqpztdjuxk3x6psf80xyray0l3c7pyrln49qhkyhz0 , nostr:npub1nmr6w7qk0ta36vxysv77jv3d5rqghfc6d8sez8240rf3gja4vsmsd2yha8 , nostr:npub19mun7qwdyjf7qs3456u8kyxncjn5u2n7klpu4utgy68k4aenzj6synjnft and nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx ) with whom I interacted back in the days when our nostr hex private keys changed more frequently than our underpants. A warm and stylish PV 🫂 to the whole crew of new nostr npubs who believe in the right to take an identity from the universe by generating enough entropy.

Being able to read your notes again after all those blocks since 737,029 underscores how the rising star of nostr is beginning to shine in the shadow of AI slop. Gradually, then suddenly. Let's do it for the Vine this time. #introductions

Thank you for welcoming me back. I feel warm, and you help me keep on learning until I get a grip on today's nostr. I will not FOLD.

we did some zap tests on this note… we made six attempts to⚡zap this note, at carillon@pleb.casa, over a period of 34 minutes. six of the zaps were successfully paid... please check for 6 satoshis received. however, we did find that only four of the payments produced zap receipts in time for our server to recognize them. this is a problem because the user who zapped you would not see an active ⚡icon after zapping. they might think the zap failed, and therefore might not zap you again.... also.... your average zap time was 18135ms (18.1 seconds). we consider this zap time slow... if possible, zaps should be confirmed in under two seconds. (if time is too slow, other nostr users might think your zaps are broken, might not zap you again.) if you wanted to fix this... you could try getting a free rizful lightning address -- https://rizful.com ... if u get it set up, pls reply here so we can do this ⚡zap test again.
