We are building a bitcoin based value for value economy here on Nostr. Tonight highlights this in an incredible way. We're giving power back to artists and musicians and it's all thanks to Bitcoin and Nostr.

I've been a believer but seeing things like this happen first hand is quite something.
I think it really highlights the importance of keeping going beyond dev and dev-adjacent meetups & events, but also keep supplementing it by giving people a taste of what all that dev and dev-adjacent work can enable in the real world.
Bullish on freedom
I added some recordings of mine, and tagged them with #music and #musiciansofnostr - but nothing comes up when I search on those tags. Using coracle.social client. What am I doing wrong?
Hmm. I'm not sure? I see see the notes on your profile. nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn thoughts?
Can you point me to the notes you're looking for? It could be a kind coracle isn't asking for.
I'm sure it's something I'm doing wrong. I see some other notes with one hashtag per line, and I tried to use two.
Wish list: coracle direct links work in most contexts, but boy are they long. This is a problem when posting them to, e.g. SMS.
The satellite.earth client has much shorter direct links. I'm guessing they use a hash, or possibly a database with random ids.
An example of a satellite.earth direct link:
https://satellite.earth/thread/note1cy5ggl77z0z5u9tup993wsl9me0tanhsudm9ueefr4glqmwcrresv6exhf
Of course, given the nature of Nostr, I can post with Coracle, and then get a direct link from satellite.earth.
Interestingly, the longer link is better because it includes a list of relays the event can be found at, which is very important long-term for finding content. Ultimately, I don't know that there's anything we can do about link length that isn't centralizing.
Since the url already has a particular host, "all" you need is a shortcut database. There are 3rd party sites that shorten urls as well, but better if the original url site does it. Of course, that means storing more data.
Would it be possible to somehow encode the list of relays into some sort of hash (not the word I am looking for, as I currently understand hashes are one way)
No. The only thing that exists are compression algorithms (zip) but in this case the difference would be negligible and the efforts herculean.
