What we can do to make nostr more friendly to all:

1. Better onboarding: follow lists of hashtags

2. Other login methods: keys over email. Don’t shoot the messenger!

3. Hardware key management

4. Abstracting away technical info and using progressive discovery to learn over time

5. Better accounts to follow recommendations (news feeds, clone feeds, non-bitcoiner recommendations)

6. Mute lists - option to edit

7. Personalized algos (optional)

8. More content

9. Regular user testing implementing the feedback

10. Micro targeted communities - identify which communities are good candidates and go after them. (Streaming, music, as examples)

11. Traditional marketing. Every client worries about their own marketing.

12. SEO

13. Community incentives - incentivize “leaders” to onboard their circles

14. Normie clients with bitcoin stuff disabled by default optional in settings

Probably 100 other things

#nostrdesign #nostrasia

We’ll have the YouTube links on the website tomorrow.

Goodnight and wabi sabi, Nostr! #Nostrasia is tomorrow! 🔥🔥🔥

Yes it is and I barely made it 🙃

If everything we experience is a construct of the mind, then fate and destiny are made up concept by human to understand various aspects of his / her existence. Both probably have deep religious origins and could have gained prominence as means of exerting control over populace. A great way to feel comfortable knowing god willed it so it must be out of my control.

The more likely reality is that we move through space like animated objects looking for meaning where no meaning exists. We’ll do anything that brings us comfort, including making up concepts that allow us to not take responsibility for our actions and create excuses for various forms of abuse.

Reading up on red light therapy - its not just about vitamin D deficiency from too little UV light (sunlight), but your circadian rhythm can get disrupted from too little blue light in the morning (and too much artificial light at night).

1. Blue light—influences the brain's circadian rhythm which regulates neurotransmitters and hormones

2. UV light—helps us make vitamin D from sunlight

3. Far-infrared—part of the sun's spectrum, can heat up cells and stimulate changes in cell function and circulation. This is why you feel heat from the sun.

4. Red light—stimulate the mitochondria in our cells, which increases cellular energy production, particularly ATP.

Note :

- ATP (adenosine triphosphate) also known as "energy currency" or the energy money of the cells. It stores and provides energy for the cells to do what it needs to do. More energy currency means more cells are powered.

- Mitochondria generates ATP

5. Near-infrared (NIR)—similar to red light in triggering mitochondria to generate ATPs

I'm going through the ultimate guide of red light therapy by Ari Whitten but i'll probably catch up on Huberman's podcast on it first to have a clearer understanding. If anyone has any info on this, would love to know more

One of the biggest fallacies I see when talking about inflation in terms of savings debasement, and in particular, focusing on how it disproportionately hurts the lowest percentiles of income earners, is the fact that the lowest percentiles have no savings. That's what being poor is. If they had excess income, they'd have savings and assets. But they don't. And the poor never have! So the only meaningful way to judge if the poor are being disproportionately affected by inflation, is to compare their income across time, to prices across time.

When we look at income data from the past few years, it actually turns out, that the poorest Americans saw their incomes grow by over 20% since the pandemic.

The massive rise in wages for low-skilled workers was actually one of the major self-reinforcing drivers of inflation.

i've got nothing to do with this, i'm just pointing out that if you gather people for a conference everyone has to pay to get there.

there is a conference coming up in madeira in march, but i'm already here, but i also don't think i'll be speaking at it. but who knows, maybe i will.

you are right to be hostile towards the infuencoor free riding problem though, they dilute the distribution of resources that would be available for more productive things.

i would also suggest that valuing adoption above all else is a grave mistake, however. better to have fewer users and no compromises than compromise something fundamental and wind up being coopted.
