Be aware that Ryanair prices are usually just the flight only and everything else (including luggage) is an added extra. It’s great if you’re travelling light and don’t need extras, not so much if you expect any level of service
People are muting you over your art? 🧐 not cool
Regardless of your thoughts on the #dublinriots, this is not justice. Retroactive laws are not just. Whatever they did was either against existing laws at the time it happened, or it wasn’t 
Good morning #nostr 🤙
Happy Friday
Someone has to be festive 😂 we don’t have them because the FCA keeps banning or advising against everything 😭 alby is okay for now, blue wallet is good. Other than that we have Phoenix, Zeus and Mutiny
People in the US who had balances on nostr:npub1hcwcj72tlyk7thtyc8nq763vwrq5p2avnyeyrrlwxrzuvdl7j3usj4h9rq today: Are you still able to withdraw?
I’m in the UK, still see WoS on the App
Store. I withdrew my sats anyway and it worked
I’m seeing massive riots in Dublin 😬 nostr:npub1rjwumr7j6tac08t0qttvc44walt549nc4eyyxjc0phn6yxzj7uzq0accc9 you’re not from there are you?
I agree, this also doesn’t take in to account that relay use cases can grow. If I subscribe to Medium, then I can access Medium articles. But say I were to subscribe to a premium nostr:npub1yzvxlwp7wawed5vgefwfmugvumtp8c8t0etk3g8sky4n0ndvyxesnxrf8q relay that content locks certain articles: this will also be able to accept all forms of nostr comms.
If nostr:npub12262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s6cgrkj is correct then costs scale with user numbers, not usage or content size. Therefore paid relays can have a base case and peripheral cases that support other parts of the nostr protocol without impacting subscription profits.
At least that’s how I understand it
Just listened to nostr:nprofile1qqs8dzjwlrgdzltmgmmzg50l3jpr3hxv357hj03rjut5jsfm5ugtv9gpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9rhwden5te0wfjkcctev93xcefwdaexwtcpzdmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ue0n7gf45 's take on nostr with nostr:nprofile1qqs2auxkkgfgylem580xrztp8ek5sf83s86k0vfq2feuz6y4lkhskgcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9rhwden5te0wfjkcctev93xcefwdaexwtcpzdmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ue0ks2l6t . His claim is that nostr is not at all censorship resistant because there is no incentive structure that supports each user having multiple relays.
The problem with this is that I think he is comparing relays to legacy social media services, which indeed have a very hard time creating a sustainable business model, just to keep their "single server" running. If nostr requires multiple servers, that makes the business model that much harder, because costs are much higher.
The difference is that relays have the luxury of being small. In theory it's extremely easy to run a community relay profitably, because you can run it on a $5 VPS and charge everyone $1/mo for access (or just don't even bother with a business model at this scale). This is fundamentally different from having to sustain a service that costs billions to run.
In a way, I think blastr is a schelling point for people who misunderstand nostr. It tries to force the many redundant relays to function as a single server by replicating content between them. Parker Lewis makes the opposite mistake, which is that of believing relays aren't sustainable when taken as a single unit. In that sense, I agree. But they aren't a single unit from either a data storage or business model perspective. And that's why nostr is decentralized.
I felt like Parker’s take was that of someone who a) dismissed Nostr before learning about the intricacies, or b) disagrees with the concept entirely. Maybe they’re both the same thing though
