#EUROTHON 
I am posting the #bitcoin blanket I crocheted for #Eurothon. Proof of work, 78000 stitches and over 1k colour changes. One of my kids spilled their tea on it today and I'm afraid to wash it in case the colours run ๐คฆโบ๏ธ๐

Two new scarves finished for my etsy shop. ๐ Fingers crossed for some fiat mining. #bitcoin #plebchain


Good Morning lovelies. ๐

Phewf. Hot day in the workshop. Stay humble, stack sats and keep on sawing, got a few more stacks to get through yet ๐ #bitcoin #plebchain

You're definitely not worthless. Just needed a zap ๐
Thank you. I will, and you should be assured that your words help more people than you know. Times are hard for many in the world at the moment and it's so nice to be reminded that there are kind souls around. ๐
It definitely did help! Sometimes it's hard to imagine a way through when things feel overwhelming. You words were so kind, it brought a tear to my eye.
It's been a while since I looked through https://stats.nostr.band so I spent some time there. Below is what I saw with the caveat that I don't know all the nuances on how the data is put together:
#Nostr daily active users seems to hover around 8k-10k. This count goes up when something unpopular happens on twitter like Elon rate limiting posts/dms. You can see this around July 1 when active count spiked to 14k.

The weekly chart tells a similar story with the count hovering between 20k-30k

There is a massive gap between pubkeys and profiles with ln addresses. With how addicting/fun zaps are I think helping new users get immediately set up on lightning would go a long way to continued growth/enagement/adoption.

The majority of users are grouped in the top 7-8 relays

I would expect adoption to continue in waves with spikes when other platforms marginalize users.
It's funny, I put off joining #nostr because for some reason I thought it would be more complicated than it is. I've been on #nostr for a couple of weeks, and although I thought it would be a gradual transition, I hardly look at twitter anymore. Another thing I've noticed is that #nostr is a more friendly, kinder place than twitter, I feel welcome, and despite not being in a great place at all irl at the moment, I feel like nostr has a positive effect on my mood, where twitter (both algorithm and user attitude) is deflating and negative. It's a brilliant change in my opinion and I'm amazed so many users join nostr but don't end up jumping in with both feet.
Sorry for the long ramble ๐
#zapathon
You guys are awesome #bitcoin #btc #plebchain ๐ซโก

I see, thank you! I only use it for zaps too, I was surprised by the accusation! โบ๏ธ
Does anyone else have a 'go to' comfort TV from their childhood?
Anything 'Anne of Green Gables' for me.
