It’s funny; after raising solitary bees, I notice tiny little bees so easily. I saw this mason bee trying to warm up in the sun on a customer’s porch today. I tried getting her to climb onto my finger or hand to move her out of foot step range, but she was too shy and I didn’t want to hurt her by forcibly picking her up. #masonbee #beestr #solitarybees

nostr:npub19zscu28djwhapecs3hh9qj5kr89hahq6mlx50dsqf72x8xxqv06q8xzyhq did you throw the towel in on MAHA?

To be fair this has been out for a while, I saw it a Kroger last year and sent my wife a picture then
Good morning all you awesome #nostriches, and a happy #coffeechain to you. We made it over the hump for the week and now it’s just a slide toward the weekend. Another really heavy day at the fiat mines, but Bitcoin is on sale and I’m getting a lot more over time than usual at the mines, time to convert it to real money. Hope you have a great Friday Eve today and I’ll talk to you later. #gm #plebchain
This is 💯 noob advice directed at other noobs:
I'm coming up on the 6 month mark of my presence on #Nostr. I've learned a lot and I still have much more to learn.
Here are 10 tips to help you make the most out of a new #Nostr profile.
1. Introduce yourself and use this hashtag: #introductions
2. #asknostr when things don't work or make sense (if you're not a developer there's a bunch of stuff that isn't immediately intuitive).
3. If you aren't really into #bitcoin, just ignore it. It won't go away, but you can reduce how much of it you encounter by only following content you are interested in. Nostr has plenty to offer in the way of art/music/culture.... You'll probably want to set up a Wallet for #zaps still though. Note*You can stretch a dollar's worth of bitcoin a long way with small tips (21 sats is a popular amount to tip and that's like a fraction of a cent of something).
4. Yes. You should set up a bitcoin wallet for #zaps. I use nostr:nprofile1qqst4qyeqenw7zm0fwjsty68h6cnys5jre2xd8ngqpjv5a2j26s78fspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucm0d9hx7uewd9hj75a0pev. There are many others to choose from. If the concept confuses you, #asknostr.
5. Terminolgy: your post is a note, your app is a client (i.e. I use the #amethyst client). #Zaps are tips using small increments of bitcoin called sats. The good people of nostr are known as #nostriches. Your npub is a public address. It's OK to share. Nsec is private. Protect your Nsec. If you lose it, you may lose access to your profile. If someone else gets it, they can take over your account.
6. Spend some time trying to understand what a relay is and how/why to choose between them. There are some pretty good resources out there somewhere. #asknostr for help.
7. Don't follow people just because they follow you. And don't follow people for sats. That's cringe. There aren't a lot of scammers and bots yet, but the phenomena is increasing. Be careful out there!
8. There are no algos to guide you toward your interests. You have to seek them out on your own. Curate your follows with care. You can make with a really great community of frens this way.
9. Interact with others. Say stuff. Sometime's, it's more important to comment on other people's notes than to make your own.
10. Don't give up! It may seem lonely out there at first. IMHO, you should probably have at least a weekly presence here. It may take a few months to start seeing the benefits of this amazing freedom-tech, but it's worth it. For your efforts, you will be rewarded with the friendship of real human beings. You will have real conversations and you will develop real community.
*Bonus* try saying #GM (good morning) when you wake up. And say GM back to others who use it too. It's a thing.
Well said 💯
