Too bad. I was a client of Eden from the beginning. But you do you. I was already moving to better relays anyway.

Is Michael Saylor in #Nostr ?

I want to say

Hopefully we can offer on iOS soon 🫂

understandable. thank you for letting me know! i was worried there 🫂

lyn alden followed me so now i have to be on my best behavior!

Agreed on all points. However, mining has become a difficult business, especially in the last 5 years or so. As with any industry, the miners that started early are likely successful and profitable.

The decision to be made is to be a hobby or business, with the clear difference being profit. We always encourage learning and experimentation, but it is unlikely a typical person, starting in 2023, would have a successful business in mining given the level of competition there is, and the longevity of existing mining companies. The typical person, spending a significant up front investment of equipment, learning and electricity is competing with entire mining farms, and some governments (who can print fiat currency to pay electricity bills).

With non kyc bitcoin, the most popular exchange, bisq, is a good idea. However, the most popular methods of exchanging bitcoin, last we checked, are through kyc companies like Revolut and Zelle. The former methods of prepaid gift cards are less and less and less common.

So even if a person wanted to use bisq to acquire non kyc bitcoin, the most popular exchange methods on bisq are kyc services. Please let us know if you agree or disagree, as we encounter this very topic frequently.

My guess is a huge portion of them are one time signups who bought and sold and are inactive. Don’t believe those numbers for a moment.

Don’t buy your sats from a company that’s in bed with Chainalysis nostr:note1mpjt367u8c58dnxfy64tqvk5qejk80y3g03f8ury0h5mkmhrdcwsxlxvjf

only took a couple months 😑 but finally got profiles working in nostrdb.

Damus now queries the local relay directly whenever it needs profile info. Its always up to date, has access to every profile its ever seen in realtime, and is as fast as accessing the profile from memory. No longer do clients need to have a separate in-memory cache for profiles, which *drastically* simplifies client code.

The old profile database is buggy and is causing crashes on the current TestFlight build, so this will fix that and make profile loading a lot faster.

Just a small update but a huge technical milestone for nostrdb. Again, thanks for your patience 😁. Damus is evolving into something new 👀
