Just a friendly reminder, in case you don't know.
Zaps are NOT private.
It is easy to get the list of all the zaps recieved by a npub ( https://nostr.band/npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m/zaps-received ). One day the govt will discover it too and ask for their cut. Esp. when bitcoin at $30k is distant memory.
What about client's option (Amethyst)?
The more I use #nostr the more I like it. I'm thinking of making a paid relay in Russia (very cheap, just a defense against propaganda bots from any sides). But I'm afraid, considering what kind of content there might be, I might get a charge from the authorities or at least an instant IP blocking and then all this doesn't make sense anymore (because it is important that relay is physically located in Russia and must be accessible without VPN or Tor).
Another problem. Cryptocurrency is legal in Russia, but the use of cryptocurrency to pay for goods and services is prohibited. I will have to use tools like https://boosty.to/, which are allowed, for registration and make it look like a kind of donation. But to be honest, I'm not sure that this is the right thing to do and in keeping with the spirit of freedom.
I'll keep thinking for now and advise everyone nostr.wine, nostr.mom and purplepag.es
А смысл? Ты первый, кого я встретил из русских тут. Сначала хоть какой-то сегмент должен появиться, чтобы пропаганда начала задумываться о приходе в Nostr)) Украинский канал о войне я тут, кстати, видел, но даже просто новостников из продвинутых, чтобы писали про Россию да для русских, не встречал. Хотя и не искал особо, если честно. Но платный релей запускать, на мой взгляд, ещё совсем рано. И по поводу цензуры момент не понял - ностр ведь так и устроен, чтобы обходить блокировки. Общедоступных релеев будет становиться всё больше, и все их вряд ли перебанят... А платный он на то и платный, чтоб на него без оплаты зайти нельзя было, ну и соответственно контент оттуда получить, просто скачав клиент, у цензоров не получится. Разве что изнутри кто-то пожалуется - но как он поймёт, с какого именно релея контент, чей это релей, на кого жаловаться? Да и те, кто оплатит релей, свободный от цензуры и пропаганды, станет ли жаловаться властям на контент в нём?
I think that's a feature of Nostr protocol, not a bug. Sometimes you see correct number of your followers, some times it's around zero. But followers are all there if you use common public relays.
My mobile provider sending me messages via SMS and in-app notifications about using VPN. Don't forget to shut it down, when it doesn't need, they write. VPN is slowing your connection! Many websites or services work unstable with VPN...
The truth is it's harder to them to track your online activity when you use VPN, Tor, etc. Sooner or later they'll try to ban anti censorship protocols, services and apps. A law prohibiting the dissemination of information about bypassing government's censorship blocking was recently issued in Russia.
That's why #nostr is important and needed.

Who in your professional network can you orange pill that has the greatest potential to introduce others to #Bitcoin?
It likely isn't your lawyer, your doctor, or your accountant.
It's your barber or stylist.
Why? 🧵👇
1. Time . You spend 20 minutes to 2 hours in your barber's or stylist's chair, and so does every one of their hundreds of other clients. And you do it every 4-6 weeks. That rarely happens with other professionals you interact with.
2. Topic. When you visit any other professional, the topic tends to be chosen already (taxes, health issues, etc.). When you visit your barber or stylist you can talk about anything, and they can talk about anything with their other clients.
3. Trust. You likely trust your barber or stylist more than anyone else in your professional world, and their other clients do as well. They will listen to you when you talk about #Bitcoin, and their other clients will listen to them.
Now that we know who and why, exactly how should you best approach talking about #Bitcoin with your barber or stylist?

Onboarding/orangepilling is fun, but in my opinion much more effective way to mass adoption is educational programs for kindergartners, schoolers and students. For adults that new form of money or monetary system is hard to understand and hard to adopt. For kids it's much easier. And after two-three halvings some of them will become economically active society members.
I love Formula 1. Watching it since early 2000s and cheering for Ferrari. But Max Verstappen and Red Bulls domination era is so boring imo, so I missed few races this championship season. The most entertaining year was 2021, when domination of Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton was ended with great difficulty. Maybe when they'll comeback it's gonna be fun again. Ferrari is so bad for so many years, idk... #Formula1 #f1
@note1h85fpd0uetvf3yvy5dqm3chj5ykg44ejzma3c7tpcc4ucu3s2arstp5mes Nostr need more diverse topics and publications than only about Bitcoin, Nostr itself and zaps. #plebs #nostr
Why not to buy ANY Android phone? If Google is the same corp shit, why Pixel 7 series + Graphene OS is not an option? Bitcoiners want to win Apple by continuing to pay Apple?
Many "reasonable" people honestly believes Bitcoin is some kind of Ponzi scheme. And our central bank trying to convince them that it's much more risky to buy Bitcoin then holding fiat or invest in local securities. Despite war, sanctions and barely contained inflation.
