NOSTR is where the Orange Pill resides, a resounding affirmation in the spirit of the nietzschean YES!!! It stands in stark contrast to Twitter, where the Black Pill, a home for negativity and defeatism, has taken root; the NO!!! of ressentiment.

Feels like the Internet in the dialup days. Curious people figuring out how things work. There for learning, and information, helping. Then sharing these new skills and information with others. Seemed like all that was lost somewhere along the way. But now it’s back.

💯💯💯

Important distinction.

You know something is cool, when people use it because they want it, and not because they have to!

We will never get freedom and autonomy through another big platform or big corporation taken over by “better leaders.”

If you’re trying to build the next big platform that’s going to be “The Ebay of Bitcoin” or “The Uber of Bitcoin” etc, I think you might have an incorrect framing… in other words, I think #Nostr is going to be the “Ebay of #Bitcoin.”

What we have to do is build *communities* and private, secure means of communication. Then with those tools we can share and offer any service, product, work, liquidity, & anything else we need. This IS the circular economy, and zaps are just the proof-of-concept.

Like #[2] said: Nostr can monetize dissent.

The economic revolution isn’t simply “going to be grassroots,” it’s only a revolution because it IS grassroots.

Wohooooooooo amazing!!! 🥹🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

I never won anything so huge! Thank you!!! 🤝🤙

Haven’t been on the bird app in days think I’m done for good

If you’re reading this right now, pour yourself a drink and pat yourself on the back. You my friend, are one of the few. You’re not always one for following the pack or the status quo. You enjoy walking new paths, opening closed doors and searching for what can be, instead of what has been. You are one of the good ones. Let’s all keep exploring and finding new & better trails for the sake of everyone. GM. 🤙🏻

Bear with me just a sec. We are now through zaps and other stuff, without realizing it, using ⚡️ as our unit of account, it is all becoming clearer. We just discovered that we have the natural ability to pin value across space and time rather than at the dull present.

I respect any level of zap as how we value things is unique to each of us.

I really feel like the only people that have a grip in this clown world are the nostriches

I’ve spent the last 3 years studying Bitcoin daily and I still learn something new everyday. I’m absolutely addicted to it. I think it is truly the best invention I’ve seen in my life time and it’s so exciting watching it branch out.

It started with one…

#[0] planted the seed of change alone…

#[1], #[2], #[3], #[4], #[5], and many skillful others gave their time and energy, nurturing the young sapling, which began to grow…

Some of us lucky enough to stumble upon this young marvel stood in awe, amazed by the beauty and power of something so small but with so much potential…

#[6], #[7], #[8], #[9], #[10], #[11], #[12], #[13], #[14], #[15], #[16], #[17], #[18], #[19], #[20], #[21], #[22], #[23], #[24], #[25], #[26], myself and many others did whatever we could, using our different talents to share our newly found love with anyone who would listen…

#[27] and #[28] used the great power and reach of their voices to spread the good word; something miraculous was growing…

Now thousands upon thousands gather together to marvel at this incredible creation, with more joining every day.

We are *here* and we are everywhere. We will fight for this, for what it is, and for what it can become.

Now, the tree of change stands tall, and it is growing faster each day.

It started with one. It ends with everyone.

OMG. I haven't looked at my node since I went to bed last night. You all zapped the shit out of it. 🤣 🤣 🤣

**THANK YOU!**

This is how we tear down the barriers of Lightning and introduce easy to use, fast ,and cheap global payments to the masses.

It's fun. It's frictionless.

I went from having no interest in Bitcoin to now being a pretty strong advocate for it. I’m in the minority of people who just found the value in it in terms of sending money to friends, then it kinda…evolved from there, now I’m here.

You're picking up on an element I think many haven't quite grasped. Nostr is using cryptographic key pairs for identity creation & management.

It's completely permissionless but it comes with zero cost to the key creator. In order to be heard amongst the noise that comes with zero cost communication, you need to demonstrate PoW.

This is more than just a Twitter replacement. This is the start of humans scaling trust in cyber space. It's really hard for me to articulate why that's important, but I feel it deep within.

We still need improvements to private key management & identity transfer but that will come.

Are Paid Relays a Shitcoin?

Last night on Nostr Spaces, we discussed potential implications of paid relays. I believe we Nostriches all understand that paid relays are needed for 1) to pay for the service that we're using as nothing should be free 2) relay operators need funds to pay for relay hardware infrastructure and 3) to thwart spammers.

#[0] said that he thought that paid relays were Shitcoins. What did he mean?

With a Shitcoin, anyone can create one. There is no Proof-of-Work in this process. The creator makes promises about their current offerings or future offerings. And lastly, they want payment and take user's money.

#[1] mentioned that he believed paid relays should operator on a Web-of-Trust model. What does this mean?

Do you know the relay operator? Do they have an older or well known Nostr public key? Did they previously run a free relay? Do reputable people use and recommend this relay? It's fairly easy now to form a Web-of-Trust with well known actors in this space and community.

As we move forward, we do need to watch for scams. A relay and operator could appear out of nowhere. A relay could promise the moon on speed and resources. That relay and relay operator could also disappear in a day or a week or a month, after they've reached their fund raising goal.

Right now, using Nostream to operate a paid relay at least requires a ZBD developer account. This is right now behind a gatekeeper. #[2] needs to approve relay API access. This will get easier in the future. In the future, Nostream will work with other providers and I would assume even end up working with your own node. In the future, we'll need to be more diligent when choosing paid relays.

Start building your Web-of-Trust now.

I’m less active on Twitter and more on nostr, just saying.
