Well, sir, you currently have 18 relays on your inbox/outbox list, with ALL of them set as inbox relays, and 9 of them set as outbox. That's a bit excessive. At max, you should have maybe 4 outbox and 4 inbox, and there can be overlap for a total of 4-8 relays.

This does not mean those will be the only relays you read from or write to, just the only ones you are announcing to others, "Hey, find my notes here!" and "Hey, send me replies and reactions here!"

You also have a number of paid relays. You don't need that many. Pick two.

So, for your Public Outbox relays, I would go with:

1. Major Public Relay. Something like nos.lol or nostr.mom from your existing list.

2. Paid Relay

3. Any other relay with good response time.

4. (Optional) Major Public Relay

Then comes the Public Inbox. Here's what you want to get it pared down to:

1. Paid Relay (Same as outbox)

2. Paid Relay (Typically don't need to pay just to read from it)

3. Web-of-Trust Relay

4. (Optional) Web-of-Trust Relay

General Relays are where you can add some other relays you want to write to for reaching users who are on clients that don't support the Outbox model yet. This is why Amethyst conveniently offers you suggestions based on what relays those you follow are using. Again, though, if you add any public relays here, make sure you set them to write only by having the upward facing arrow lit up green while the downward facing arrow is grayed out.

If you want to add some specialty relays, such as writing to hist.nostr.land for keeping backups of your follow list, or reading from purplepag.es so Amethyst is likely to find their relay list, you can add them in this section, too. I also have a couple additional WoT relays I read from that are added here as read only.

Thanks brother. I appreciate you. When I get a bit of time I'll try and figure that all out

Bought a Chevy Volt plug-in electric hybrid car from a local pleb 5 months ago with Bitcoin to save on fuel.

Here's the stats on the fuel savings so far:

7500 total miles

4600 gas miles

2300 electric miles

600 solar miles

$330 fuel savings (compared to Subaru outback)

$66/month in savings

I expect the average savings to go up significantly more now that I'm charging mostly with solar and the range is maximized from warmer weather.

I met someone at the Bitcoin meetups who was buying used volts and fixing them up. Every meetup they would talk about all the features of the car that made it stand apart from other electric hybrids. The Bitcoin price was also ripping at the time and had recently broke 100k for the first time. I had been driving a lot more too, attending a Bitcoin meetup a week, sometimes two in a week. Most of the time the meetups were over an hour drive from the homestead. I was burning up as many sats in fuel as I could earn at a meetup a lot of times. Once I realized turning the solar power production into miles on the road would net me more Bitcoin in the end with the fuel savings vs using that power to mine, it was time to make the purchase. Getting an electric vehicle at the beginning of winter offered an underwhelming experience to start. The vehicles electric range was greatly reduced by the cold and I hardly had any solar power to charge it. As the days got longer and warmer the electric range drastically increased to the point where I can do most local trips without burning any gas.

This your home? Cute, humble little digs

It's insane here. Suddenly there's massive swarms of migrants here. Insane housing crisis. Culture getting destroyed. And so many leaching off the system. It's falling apart.
