Nostr feels like "Internet Australia".

A penal colony to exile all the internet badasses. But we organize our own society without them.

And no 🦂 🕷️ 🐍 🐊 or jellyfish. HUGE plus.

**Paulo. Apologies for the "Pablo" mispells.

Congrats to nostr:nprofile1qqs2s9chs87eay8du04yfhw2t5atlq50arhdav8n4wcd60jkx43wrlqpzfmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ucpremhxue69uhkummnw3ezuum9w35xvmmjwpexjanpvdujucm0d5q3wamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwvd6hyun9de6zuenedyuj5qhg on winning yesterdays 13,000 sat "follow me I'm a noob" giveaway. 🥳🎉 Only 15 entries, odds were good.

In true noob-ism, I zapped Pablo 13k, but it's not showing publicly as a zap in my Coracle (26 relays). Or in Pablo's zap history on Snort, Primal, or Amethyst. Any wizards know why? I wish it would for transparency. ☹️

I promise it was sent. Screenshot and confirm by Pablo in original thread and this vid.

Paulo you won this. I zapped you 13k, but it's not showing publicly in zaps on any clients. Can you confirm you got it before I post vid?

Not sure why it's not showing/what I did wrong...

Odysee? Kinda?

Not a clue, would have to ping Marko. Not sure if he's on here (I don't know him). Just thought I'd share, you guys are all way smarter than I on the guts of Lightning.

Harvest season. Elon gotta harvest all that rage and put it in the bins before winter hits. 🤣

Roast me, cyber bitch. Keep it short, I don't have time to read a diatribe.

For a bunch of unacceptable extremists who've been ostracized from mainstream social media....

....Ya'll sure are friendly and welcoming bunch. 😊🙏

That's a good idea. Turn the acct into a Nostr proxy to recruit more Nostriches. 💡

And rationing.

Nothing like solving a demand surge with some good ol' fashioned rationing.

Help this noob get seen.

Giving away 13,000 sats to ONE fellow Nostrich who comments on this squawk, and drops a follow. All follows reciprocated.

Wheel of names winner posted tomorrow (Tues).

Good business ideas are good business ideas. Whether they are implemented by the state or a private entity.

That said, the free market usually gets it right more often.

Or at least, gets purged by the system when they get it wrong.

Helium.

Anyone know of a larger Lightning Network test?

Xwitter bird has tweets. What sound does an Ostrich make? Squawk?

Definitely don't like this squawk. 🤣

Tough times right now.

Try teaching Brick & Mortar small businesses how to accept Lightning. Charge for the setup/guidance.

I'd love to have more (any) places to shop using BTC⚡, so I can buy stuff when all my accounts get frozen by Justin Castro. Barber, Restaurants, Fuel, Butchers & Bakers, etc.

Our friend Rothbard. Nice recommend. Note, I'm referring to ID or "reputation" in a decentralized world WITHOUT a state. Or as "without" as is practical.

Example: Say you want to lend money to someone else. P2P investing. You'll want to know who they are, their history, and trustworthiness that they will repay you. Sure, you could scour their social reputation (online + offline). But if they're like most scammers they could just close up shop, rebrand under another name, then rug-pull over and over again.

An "immutable" reputation or "identifier" could solve this, by pinning undesirable behavior permanently to the person in question. Not state-run. Open source. But it also creates problems too. Big topic. Love to hear all thoughts.

How many relays are you using?

Example of what it takes to get throttled on Xwitter these days. 🤣

Muh bad wordsss!!
