Good morning Adam, I feel your pain. I hope your kiddo feels better soon.
Good morning Derek, I hope you and the family are having a good trip. ☕️
Merry Christmas Derek and family, have a great night
Just sent him a little
No Resolve’s cover of Hallelujah, Oscar the lead singer is a fellow brown clad delivery driver here in #Michigan too… although down state in the Detroit area
New #watchstr added to the collection today, Relic from Fossil. My first automatic watch. #grownostr 
Not saying that it doesn’t make sense in theory, but technically that already exists (damus requires the zap add on downloaded and installed separately to use or receive zaps) and really does it make any difference… personally I think it’s more about new users being pressured to link a lightning wallet when they join. I don’t generally say anything about zaps or sats when welcoming new people unless they ask
Hello and welcome to nostr, the freedom protocol that you control your data and take it with you to whatever platform you want. Damus is a social media platform that runs on nostr and IMO one of the best, but there are also long form blogging platforms, wiki platforms, streaming, video sharing, podcasting, encrypted messaging, marketplaces, and more all running on nostr and you can take your public and private keys from damus and use all of them while bringing your followers, follows, and previous data with you.
New hobby?!?! #coffeechain #grownostr 
Merry Christmas all you relay surfing freedom fighters of notes and other stuff, wishing you all good tidings #nostr #plebchain #grownostr 
Two years ago today, I was overseas for Christmas with my wife’s family, jet-lagged and awake at 3:30am, when our friend nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 shared a link to Nostr with plebs on the Twitter #stackchain.
That day, I began to see the world in purple 💜
I downloaded a very early version of Damus. Not only had nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s not yet invented zaps (we simply pasted Lightning invoices, racing each other to pay it the fastest), but images wouldn’t even render in a client. (Again, you’d post a link and then leave the client to view the image in a browser). A few screenshots below capture the early days of Damus 🤙
It’s been an awe-inspiring heart-warming two years. I have learned so much, made new friends, submitted my first PR, and zapped the hell out of anything that moves. It’s been amazing to see the speed and quality of development by our many developers, and I continue being blown away by everyone’s contributions here. It’s also been demonstrated that most people, when given the opportunity to socialize in an online space that hasn’t been conditioned by typical toxic incentive structures, are genuinely decent, thoughtful, well-meaning people, even when they disagree. I always believed this, but Twitter can make you doubt it sometimes…
Nostr has come so far, so fast, from a handful of bare-bones clients to dozens or hundreds of apps, clients, projects, integrations, events, meetups, and more. It’s downright impressive.
Spending time on this protocol, hanging out with you all, being part of this movement, has enriched and expanded my life in a way I never expected, but feel so grateful to have found.
Screenshots below to show some old nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 styling, including my profile-picture-less self trying to figure out a Lightning address, hitting the perfect follower count (nice), a comparison of privacy priorities between Damus and Twitter, and evidence of my consistently positive sentiment toward Nostr.
Thank you, Nostriches. Happy Christmas Eve 🎄 and Pura Vida 🤙
