“And the world, of course, would be the better for it.”

Sometimes I feel like this about Bitcoin and nostr.

GM!

Emphasis on almost😁

I kinda understand the approach. If you are new to nostr and zaps and bitcoin and lightning, a feature that you don’t understand nor can use is a bad user experience.

For me as a bitcoiner and lightning user, it was almost intuitive to set up my wallet and add the lightning emoji to the reactions.

nostr:npub1n0stur7q092gyverzc2wfc00e8egkrdnnqq3alhv7p072u89m5es5mk6h0 setting up zaps was quite complicated. Had to add lightning emoji in reaction settings first.

Interesting decision to not show the zap button from the beginning.

Great (and entertaining) read on the history of payment channels in Bitcoin.

Wanted to zap you for this post, but I can’t. Is the problem on my end?

How does one optimize the nostr experience? Who to follow? Which relays? How do I find my special interest? Any other recommendations? Or own experiences?

GM!

Lest David Foster Wallace. Ich würde mit den Kurzgeschichten starten (kleines Mädchen mit komischen Haaren, In alter Vertrautheit). Dann die Reportagen lesen (Schrecklich amüsant, Roter Hummer, Signifying Rappers). Die Romane würde ich später lesen, die sind anspruchsvoll (Besen im System ist für den Anfang gut, Unendlicher Spaß ist ein Meisterwerk).

GM

One of the best speeches out there. And if you haven’t read any of David Foster Wallace‘s book yet, go buy one now! nostr:note1mpwhrrnkwkv935tkwe9qs90g9th7wkel5ysu7m3qe7qknvhf9mrqvfklvz

Saw this sticker on a walk yesterday and felt the need to go offline for a few days.

Logging out now, see you on the other side.
