I really don't understand why people want the nostrich to die.

for something as young as nostr, are we so impatient to already start junking our history?

to do what?

I like this one even less. the ostrich in the n by Marco is a way better logo in every way. more creative, more recognizable, more artistry.

I'd argue nostr doesn't need a logo for the protocol. there is no logo for nostr just like there is no logo for SMTP, TCP/IP, DNS, and the list of protocols goes on.

But we do need something to rally around. It is the nature of humans when they form connections. We rally around the ostrich.

The ostrich has become a mascot. Early nostr adopters first developed nostr as a social media alternative to the little blue bird. To encapsulate the desires to be better, faster, stronger, the community went with the biggest bird, the ostrich.

coincidentally, the ostrich has many letters in common with nostr which is, in my opinion, serendipity.

These new designs that want to be "the logo" for nostr that don't pay at least a little homage to the ostrich are seriously missing out on a piece of culture that shaped the beginning of nostr. It's almost insulting when they say "adopt this new logo because its better because it doesnt have an ostrich."

I will be very sad for the day that the ostrich disappears from the collective mind as the symbol for nostr because we will have lost a part of our history.

hear, hear!

lol sorry I can't unsee this. my 90s must be showing 😆

and they think Coinbase makes them trustworthy? 😂

I don't like it. it's cartoony and doesn't seem to take itself seriously.

I mean, we don't really take ourselves seriously *gestures towards all the memes* but there is gravity in what we're trying to grow here.

will you buy 69,420 sats? hahahaha

as I've heard it the ostrich was used because it is the biggest bird. and also because it has -ostr in the name.

I agree that nostr will be bigger and more things than the other little blue bird app will ever be but there's a charm in having a collective history.

I learned that serrated knives have handedness so I tried using my right hand (my off hand) to use the bread knife today and it was so much easier.

bread looks good today 🤤 despite my wonky slicing #breadstr

dang, for lunch? y'all eat well!

I don't understand why these big guys don't self custody and cut out Coinbase. it seems dumb to pay another party to manage something you can manage yourself and also take on the risk of whatever shenanigans Coinbase does.

ofc, self custody is king but the accessibility for the masses with ETFs is important too as their first baby step into an orange world.

thanks for putting together this list.

good morning 🌞 the yarn I ordered for the next batch of hats is on its way! I'm really excited to make more, especially the nostr version. I designed it way back in December but couldn't afford to buy enough yarn at a time to make all the designs.

With nostr and lightning, I was able to turn my work into value without fuss by selling directly to whoever wanted the hats. And that in turn helps to grow my little venture for the next batch.

I'm starting the day with full of gratitude this morning 💜

you can break it down even more too.

house (ex. single family dwelling)

apartment unit (ex. a unit in a multi family dwelling)

room

bed

we're early still. the late comers will be glad to even have half a bed to sleep on.

came here to say the same. it is more likely that we'll be using milli, centi and the like as opposed to half and quarter. it's a imperial vs metric mindset.

future units aren't likely to be in imperial since those measurements have root in physical space where as metric is more abstract.

woohoo planned pooling! I've done a couple pieces with it and it never ceases to amaze.

if designing something for fun and casual, then log in.

if something technical and security-ish, then sign in.

think of logging in like stamping a time card at machine and signing in like filling out a line on a log book at the guard house. one is more involved than the other.
