My explorations into Bitcoin, Lightning, Software development, Philosophy, and Mysticism

Is there a good BSD node guide that uses jails for Bitcoin? If not, I might start a guide for it.

I really don't understand these protocol architects at all. Everything tends to become a over complicated mess, trying to do everything at once. Protocol developers need to go back to KISS and take notes from nostr.

Any good guides on #midjourney? Looking to create my own Art Deco banner.

What is the best way to get started with #DMV?

We're so back

Does anyone reccomend using https://nosta.me for generating a new nostr?/

#nostr #plebchain

Is there anyway I can import what I have installed already into Obtainium?

There has to be some kind of bot that can mirror posts from X on to Nostr.

Make multiple nyms. Post on nyms of various interests. Create content on said nyms using habla or such. Engage with fellow nyms. Build the content you want on nostr.

Biggest complaints:

- Bitcoin echo chamber / not enough variety of content

- Difficult to use (my guess is these people have only tried it once 8 months ago lol..)

- Feeds not busy enough

- Toxic to web 3

My thoughts:

I bet we can solve a lot of these complaints just by asking people to select some topics to follow in onboarding and doing away with global entirely, or make it an optional thing. It seems global is responsible for turning people off because they see a bunch of spam / too much bitcoin content and or some other crap.

Topics solves some of this - they will see more focused content.

Better navigation UX can help - like browsing hashtags (see primal).

The network effects thing IS a challenge. Have to have users to create content and have to have content to attract users. Lists could help here. Even something as suggesting a list of RSS feeds that post on Tech news for example would be helpful. We already have RSS feeds for all sorts of stuff but they are difficult to surface.

Engaging with non-bitcoin content can help too (if you find it interesting, probably don’t want to force it).

Other than that I am not sure how to get more non-bitcoin users here other than creating a “safe space” for them where they don’t see that type of content at all. Whether that’s a bitcoin-free relay or a client that specifically mutes bitcoin terms via a pre-defined (user can still modify) mute list, or something else I can’t think of atm. nostr:note1j5cx3j3h7prnr46yyfa4akllsjach4qxhnzu0tu4pcgh3afcj0qs5rd0w8

I will say the variety of content is the biggest issue. A lot of content is bitcoin centered which is fine, but the main reason that content doesn't exist is because said people aren't generating that content.

Best thing would be to either mirror your content from X or IG to have that variety.

Just did my first zap from Mutiny Wallet using Nostr connect. I finally get it now.

Is there a market for used / old coldcards? I've thought about giving them to family and friends to teach about self-soveignty

#bitcoin #plebchain

How do most people go through their lives not blocking ads?

Just set up my lightning address. Anyone mind sending a zap to test out? Thanks in advance!

Vaultwarden would be the best if you wish to be self sovereign, but be prepared to setup some kind of VPN to access it from outside the network.
