Discussion

early 2020 here
my first npub was late 2021 i believe.
Somewhere 2022

nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s was anyone else on Nostr in 2020? 😅
February 2023 for me 🤩
There was probably around 10-50 active users if i remember correctly.
You did amazing to persevere with few people. I think it's probably come a long way - it has evolved so much since I started. One tap zaps and only zaps are still my favourite bits of what has been created 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Most devs are used to building things without users, i never expected this to blow up like it did. Few understand how rare this is and why we need to keep it going.

Too true. I've seen quite a few networks come and go. And some of them seem to work just fine. They just don't take off.
I guess even if you build the best software in the world you still need the right wind in your sails.
There's always a bit of luck, in every part of life really.

I dont post much, but I love nostr. First heard about it early 2023 reading posts on twitter (thank you @shannen@jpegculture.com). This is my kind of social media. No login, no permisson, just do what I want, read who I want.

Appreciated😊. And these Chinese guys if am not wrong. nostr:npub17ryxfn6h8hshzpfmaaxl8vcuvkfnx7sf07aanusd0pgxujgvddjq7y9shm nostr:npub10nmgk3azkfpaqcezhldk58pyytackwsc6x99eyxz0dv73asj25lqfc7024 nostr:npub1g2qs0ca5kpwlrcfug2em4jelmh65clk3yccwjxrs6hvdpd9qj80q022j4m
there was a girl always discussing philosophy
I forget her account
Oh yeah ôomg I miss aihua
Don't forget the dishwasher 😂
This is hilarious
That reminds me of me and nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s's PoW bots
I had some optimizations that allowed 2x-3x faster hashing, and I was going to implement SIMD, but never got around to it
Was that Will's bot that did 44 PoW or something?
Yes. Mine did 41.
I actually have a beefy server I can use for this. Maybe I should also look into HW accelerated SHA256 👀
Let the "Nostr Bot PoW Wars" begin!
I mean, I have a lot of cores available if needed, so 👀
According to my calculations it will take 15 days or less for 48 bit PoW
Do it!
I should also have better multithreading than fork()
better to start one thread per thread and feed them with a queue, you definitely don't want to be making and taking down threads that is an incredible waste of time
every thread works on the same note, the nonce has a thread ID component
me☺️
Late 2022.
Might have been earlier if I knew what nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s was talking about, took a few podcasts to sink in.

Not quite that long but I'm approaching 6 months since my first Nostr activity! Though I've become really active only in the last month or so.
class of January 2023.
fuckin bummed I didn't get purple pulled a month sooner
I’ve been here since nostr:npub1r0rs5q2gk0e3dk3nlc7gnu378ec6cnlenqp8a3cjhyzu6f8k5sgs4sq9ac would ask for lightning invoices of 100K-1M sats and pay them.
I joined late 21 but lurked until a couple of days into 22. My relay has been running since Apr 22.
one and a half year here
Class of December '22.

Been here since Dec 29, 2022.
I think the line should be those who are pre-nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m announcing on Twitter :-)

Created 1st account early 22 I think. Left Twitter the first/only nostr November, so no idea what's going on in the world since then!
