Growing nostr and helping it become more robust will be an increasing focus across all of my work.

- OpenSats is now funding open source nostr projects.

- Ten31 will be funding nostr startups.

- Podcasts will cover nostr more often. Will be ripping a Citadel Dispatch with miljan of primal this wednesday at 3P CT / 2000 UTC.

- Bitcoin Park will have an increased focus on nostr education and usage. We just launched our own private relay for members - in addition to the already existing bitcoinpark dot com nip5 verification.

Freedom tech is hope. We must build the future we want to see. 🫡

Using Platform Engineering to help Nostr grow its ecosystem is going to be the central focus for 0.9 OnboardPi with oS3. Excited to see how this community evolves!

Cheers to your effort!

If we want higher adoption we need more diverse content. If people are only posting about bitcoin and freedom that really limits the mass appeal. We need: news, business, sports, food, travel, and parody accounts. I’m currently looking like Atlas holding up all of NOSTR myself.

I think it is a matter of time to see more diverse content. The best think we can do is to let more people know nostr.

Apart from a wider range of content, as an average user, I need edit and delete function coz sometimes I have typo.

Would definitely like to hear nostr talked about on podcasts in the future… I’d particularly like to hear a little bit of technical information about how the relays work.

As nostr grows in popularity does the number of relays decline due to increased cost/resource requirements to operate a relay? Or will some relays start pruning older content so they don’t grow into hundreds of terabytes and billions of messages? Does nostr become a paid service in the future with users paying sats for relays to broadcast events, otherwise I’m not sure I get the economic incentive for people to run a relay? So many questions about the economics of this system! But I’m totally here for it - screw Facebook and Twitter!

Agreed. I’d like to hear about some best practices. Especially privacy related topics (ie. private key management, relays, etc).

Sounds good. 👌

Thanks chief 🫡

And don't forget to stay humble and stack sats

You’re a stellar dude, Matt

LFG! 🤙🏼

Building the future we want to see

I like it

Elon shook reading this from his nostr burner

Is there an application process for getting in touch with Ten31 with ideas? Or are they focused on funding projects that are already launched?

I launched nostr:npub109pkdu0k0dau2cz063lzrgn7dl9l7lk8u7njcm2v8pk4pl2a9uzqf6u4w5 earlier this year and I’ve got more nostr projects I’d like to start.

💜🫂👏

That's awesome Odell 🤙

very excited about the private relay (and all the other stuff too, ofc)

localized/topic-based relays is something I'm deeply interested and one of the areas of nostr that is more ripe for innovation; we've been treating relays almost as servers; sure, we tap on the idea of connecting to multiple relays for redundancy, but the experience is pretty much the same as using servers.

excited to see what roadblocks you guys face at nostr:npub1theparkprcs70dcs437ke9zzwsr6u60f8flu7rg28m30438aep9sd94dha when exploring this use case; I'm sure you guys will run into many good problems for us to solve

the immediate one will be that narrowing down relay selection (i.e. relay set) is hard/annoying, so people hardly ever do it and just add "yet another relay", which breaks the balkanization/specialization of relays.

this one way I've approached solving this, which allows for a complete context-switch in a single click:

e.g. you could be using "general" nostr and one-click into bitcoin-park nostr, and then one-click into you-and-your-families nostr; with different profile info, different client settings, etc

nostr:note1e95enlnpu5prnt4j5gjucm4m8rrqzqz6eh22t3rh896v9rdwen5qq8nysz

On flycat we called it relay selector, much like relay set. The problem is most user won’t setup different group of relays right now since relay are not that diverse and client do a bad job to show each relay’s information. We need better UX desgin and much more small diversity relays out there.

exactly

in reality, I think some people (e.g. community managers) will create relay set NIP-51s (I'm using kind:30022 on nostr:npub1w0rthyjyp2f5gful0gm2500pwyxfrx93a85289xdz0sd6hyef33sh2cu4x ) and other people will use that list, so each person won't have to configure it.

at local venues a tap-to-connect would be ideal

You are a genius, your ads are always valuable, I need the notification bell to notify me every time you announce something

Hell yes 🫡

Congrats for all these achievements. Zapping you.

Nostr:

- No token

- No gatekeepers

- Organic growth

The opposite of the web3 hype that duped millions out of billions and is nowhere to be found.

Cool. This is your nostr, Odell. Followed. Good news bro! As an average user, I think nostr may not impress many average Joe yet. But nostr is built on freedom that average citizen take it for granted and never imagine it is taken away by capitalist and gov. People in authoritarian countries need nostr the most.

this is the way 🤙

World Water Council provides access to clean, safe, reliable water and sanitation solutions across Europe, Africa and Asia one community at a time. You can help end the water crisis and restore hope together.

The World Water Council brings together 350 member organization from 50+ country to make water a global priority and has long been committed to finding innovative and concrete solutions to financing problems. In particular, it is working to convince the various donors and funders to devote more financial resources to investments in the water sector, and to bring financial institutions closer to the water community.

Globally, 1 in 9 people still have no access to clean water but in the communities we want to serve, it's 9 out of 9. Finding water is a daily challenge for young girls, moms and sons. Mostly women and girls especially bears the burden of walking miles at a time to gather water from streams and ponds full of water - borne disease that is still making them and thier families sick. Providing a reliable and safe water source will unlock the potential by returning time for study, work and imagination.

We work hard to make sure that a community's needs are always considered first. Our local experts in the field help ensure that happens. we are able to provide support and expertise for various water solutions. We listen for our local teams's lead in choosing the right type of water project for a particular community or school. Far too often, "default" technologies like a handpump are being installed because of misguided assumptions, only to end up rejected or abandoned by a community. We've learned that a water project must be reliable, convenient and safe and that requires careful consideration alongside each community.

The good news is, as we installed and repaired some water points across some communities, we also taught hundreds of schools and communities how to build hand-washing stations, how to keep their water source and homes free of germs, and how to begin other good health practices. It’s what we do every day and it is saving lives. Your donation will have an impact in allowing every mother and child have access to clean, safe and reliable water.

A large gift will help unlock the ability to move much more quickly into the communities and schools we have already identified and prioritized for clean water projects. Large gift can also enable us to fund the maintenance and monitoring of both the people and the infrastructure so that all the communities served have clean, safe water flowing everyday.
