⚡️⛏️ NEW - nostr:nprofile1qqsy67zzq5tc9cxnl6crf52s4hptdwhyaca5j7r8jwll535tdadedvcpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wd3skueqxd28ts has just surpassed 17,000 notes, all illustrated, verified, and sourced.

This is manual, patient work, carried out with the same rigor for more than 323 consecutive days.

This certainly makes Flash the highest human POW in the Nostr protocol, a symbolic record, the result of daily discipline and willpower without algorithms.

It is both a source of pride and an honor to have speedrun the only truly uncensorable information protocol on the Internet.

But beyond the numbers, it is above all proof that a single individual, armed with consistency and conviction, can compete with entire systems.

Flash was born as an experiment: it has become a testimony.

Here are the details for the POW level ⤵︎

➥ 17,000 / 323 = 52.632 notes per day

➥ 52.6 / 24 = 2.192 notes per hours

➥ 8 * 323 = 2,584 hours of work

➥ 10,300 + 17,000 = 27,300 traces of activity (notes and replies)

➥ 27,300/ 323 ‎= 84.52 traces of activity per day

➥ 84.5 / 24 ‎= 3.521 traces of activity per hours

This is the result of hard work 24/7.

Another thing you may have noticed is that I never retweet my posts because I have a principle in mind: if I say something twice, it means I said it once too many.

Thanks to the handful of loyal Nostrich people who support me every day.

You are the fuel for the account, and as you know, without gas, a car won't move.

This week, I asked a simple question: what do you think of Flash's work? One response stood out to me: "Underzapped"

I'm not even going to ask if you agree. Now that I've been told, it's obvious.

2026 promises to be a special year. I lost my job, the news came last week.

I now have two options:

➥ either make Flash my main activity for the first time

➥ or take a job that will prevent me from continuing at this pace on Nostr.

One thing is certain: things are going to change. For me, obviously. But also for you, if you've been following Flash since the beginning.

As usual, I write too much, and I know that at this point, I've already lost half of my readers.

But for those of you who are still here, I'll reward you: I'll tell you how I heard the news.

I receive a message from my boss. He calls me by my first name and asks if I'm okay. He wants to talk to me (which is weird because he never wants to talk to me), so I call him and learn that it's over and that I'm officially unemployed as of 2026.

He explained that it had nothing to do with my skills, but that he was being forced to make cuts due to budget restrictions. I'm such a professional that the only question I asked him was, "How are you going to manage without me?" (even though I shouldn't give a damn).

I won't forget that bastard, because the only time he asked me if I was okay in two years was the day he told me he was terminating my job.

Okay, I'll stop there. The game of fiat work is the same for everyone: we do what we can, as best we can…
