Only dying civilizations use less energy with time. If we build/find new sources, it’s immediately allocated. Thus, supply almost never overtakes demand.
nostr:npub1qqqqypnst2u7wdlmexad9gjamstlg7c4ck2w4cadv4j5xd5e8vvsupryz3 it’s not a problem that there is a robust community of bitcoiners on Nostr. The problem is that is very hard for other unrelated communities to form on Nostr and grow.
Nostr as it currently works tends to push people in to the one big tightly connected conversation. It’s why mostly Nostr is in English with a smaller community in Chinese, Japanese, and Thai. With languages that are closer to English they’ve had a harder time creating the space and connection to develop.
As long as it’s hard to find these other communities then people will join and say, oh I don’t care about bitcoin so much, this place isn’t for me. Or “mierda, mi gusta bitcoin pero no se ni pomo como hablar en inglés, entonces nostr no es para mi, tampoco.”
We can solve this but we need to listen to the folks who join but don’t stick around.
Ah. I have seen this as a be-your-own-algo problem. I am always tweaking my own feed based on the content people post. My thinking is that people are used to - and maybe addicted to - being force-fed content without having to think much. Indeed, there is an entire “influencer” economy built around this.
Maybe more support is needed for something like kind-34550. As there is more demand, opportunity will grow and the demand will be met.
I am not suggesting we don’t listen, but I am suggesting the complaints don’t hold a lot of water. The ability to build a community *is* there, tho it’s very primitive. Again, look at the ham radio community as an example. Much smaller, more niche than most cultures. Difficult to find much on any social media. But they found themselves here. It’s doable.
Nostr doesn’t owe anyone anything. Relay runners, protocol devs, app devs, and users running (QA) it all - they are either building for themselves or for opportunity.
If the people complaining really want to be helped, we should push them to contribute to dev work and get involved. My $0.02.
I get a little irritated by people whining about how it doesn’t fit their needs the exact way they want. Tells me there’s a good chance they’re missing the point or the great opportunity.
If they’re not interested in the opportunity or helping nostr to grow - cool! Don’t complain. Go elsewhere for a while. If nostr succeeds at its decentralized mission, they’ll be back. It’s inevitable. It’s why bitcoiners are here en masse.
I bought a set with an assortment of pins: 2-6 pins. Been very useful to have in the moment.
JST PH 2-pin is what you’re asking for. Regularly use them on 20-28 gauge.
There are smaller connectors, but they have fewer mating cycles and are a pain to work with (tho the ones I mentioned aren’t fun, either). Would recommend 2mm pitch to start with.
They’re very common. Can get a set of 100 connectors for $5ish.
Literally search for “JST PH 2-pin”. Buy a decent crimping tool to save some frustration. Worth the money.
Or buy a set of pairs (make/female) with existing wire leads to start you off and see if they’ll work.
There is no problem. Everything is operating normally.
It’s completely natural that the bitcoin community, which embraces decentralized options, took to it first. It is, therefore, the largest community.
Other communities will take to it, as well, unto their own needs. We are seeing this play out in real-time. Their communities will naturally be smaller, at first, versus the more established bitcoin community.
It’s not an either/or. There isn’t a limitation preventing the growth of any community - that’s what makes part of the nostr protocol great. It’s just early days.
Early adopters of nostr (from a community) should really be seeing this as a time of opportunity. They get to help build their community, and their influence will play a key role.
It makes me think that the people complaining are those less interested in community and more interested in selling something. And one thing I’ve seen over and over again, from the radio ham community to bitcoiners to homesteaders - its community over shilling products. V4v, sure - but that’s not what’s making nostr thrive right now.
Eventually, there will be more robust stores for them to sell their products via nostr directly.
But this is not your typical algo-driven social media. People here talk to others because they like what they have to say - not because it’s rammed down their throat.
What kind of voltage + amperage? Already have a wire gauge planned?
Without any info, I’ve enjoyed working with the XT line for basic power needs. Likely you’ll just need
XT 30s, if dealing with 1-30 amps. Easy to solder, cheap, and they’re keyed.
Though I am going to guess the ubiquitous but pain in the ass JST (PH or XH) might be what you really need. Low voltage + data.
Now you know why us hobbyists have bins, drawers, and boxes of extra parts. If you’re going to pay that shipping, at least buy way more than you need.
Eventually… you don’t need to buy much of anything to prototype.
Artists shouldn’t be using custodians as their only copy of their art.
They also shouldn’t be using custodians as their sole “bank account”.
The point of nostr is freedom to move and maintain their identity (or choose another identity). This remains with wavlake.
Nostr doesn’t mean “abandon all accountability”.
Fourth turning vibes seem to be increasing daily.
How do you feel about a section to load other kinds or notes with certain content in an alternate app?
I imagine a future where we have a great e-reader, photos app, video, etc, and allow the user to point notedeck to use those applications in certain contexts (defaulting to notedeck, itself).
I was a software engineer for 20 years and I quit/retired last May at 42. The biggest revelation I've had since is that you don't realize how much 40hours a week really is.
Now I have so much time to work on things that I actually want to do. We have our podcast, nostr:nprofile1qqsd90dkhlct3ltcwj3dwxnnqle4rxpcpfvqx87w2xnufxp254xgvfcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszfrhwden5te0wfjkccte9enxc6tjw35kuemhd96xscnfw33k76tw9e3k7mf0qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap0cx5wle, and now we're starting a business, nostr:nprofile1qqs0xgvyaeact5khdrllmk7r936mhmtdjt3d6sm3g2h4c5qgd5wp00cpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qgcwaehxw309anxjmr5v4ezumn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tcgtfwta, all while raising our toddler.
I say all that to say, get your time back first. If you're a Bitcoiner, you'll figure out the rest.

Hey, if the grift works, why not appropriate it?
I have, but only on my own setup. I imagine it varies wildly.
Looks like the answer is zero.

Been working on my own design, but for media at large - enabling anyone to upload, monetize, and stream. Multiple business models, from pay-to-own to pay-per-view.
If there’s an existing effort that looks strong, point me to it.
About me: over a decade in video encoding and distribution with contributions to standards and a lot of IP in use today.
Client isolation helps, no? Either globally or via VLAN/subnet… according to threat model.
Couldn’t agree more.
No mater what one thinks of opensats, the point of bitcoin is that we don’t have to ask for permission anymore. Sats should always go directly to the intended party.
If you don’t know who to donate to and are willing to abdicate to opensats’ judgement, by all means. Just know that you are.
