How do you expect to encourage people to use #nostr when we still can’t upload videos or pictures here?! It’s been two years, and the only solution is “pay me and store it on a third-party server,” usually AWS, which will inevitably get wiped in the future! Same with the relays ! Most of them are on AWS and those who are running them not disclosing this just to hide the centralized points of failure and tell everyone how nostr is decentralized! 🤡

You can just run your own blossom server and host it yourself.
It’s not that complicated
Oh for sure! Everyone will be doing it 🤣
Yep. Just like everyone runs a #bitcoin node to keep it decentralized.
Get used to it.
Nostr is not bitcoin and shouldn’t be compared !
Please tell me you’re joking..
Both use key pairs for security and identity verification.
Neither relies on a central authority; both distribute data across the network.
Both are open-source protocols that encourage community-driven development.
Both use decentralized, peer-to-peer systems for communication or in bitcoin’s case transactions.
Both rely on hashing (e.g., SHA256 for Bitcoin) to secure data and ensure integrity.
Both are designed to be resistant to censorship by any central authority.
Users on both networks are identified by public keys rather than personal details.
Both allow anyone to participate without needing permission from a central entity.
There are differences too. But they have very similar underlying technologies that support one another.
You don’t have to teach me about this stuff! Comparing Bitcoin to nostr is very dumb! Two different protocols serve for different purposes!
