⚡️🔔 A YEAR PASSES TOGETHER - One year is a complete revolution of the Earth around the Sun.

Today, nostr:nprofile1qqsy67zzq5tc9cxnl6crf52s4hptdwhyaca5j7r8jwll535tdadedvcprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qy28wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hsat8e57 closes its challenge and honors its promise: to inform you for a full year, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day — weekends and public holidays included.

At first, I wanted to end on a high note. I had countless ideas: making a video edited by myself, coding a website for the occasion, doing a live stream… Then I remembered the best advice I received here: “Stay humble.”

So I’ll keep it simple.

First and foremost, please know that I am proud to have kept you informed for an entire year, with transparency, consistency, and objectivity. Believe it or not, all my notes have only one intention: to convey the truth. If some of them have upset you, that's not my problem; it's just that reality is sometimes harsh.

Here is my latest POW, the complete summary:

➥ 11,500 + 19,100 = 30,600 activity traces

➥ 30,600 / 365 = 83.83 activity traces per day

➥ 19,100 / 365 = 52.33 notes per day

➥ 8 × 365 = 2,920 hours of work

Result:

➥ 0 → 16,500 followers

➥ 0 → 5 million sats

I gave myself the means to achieve this. If you follow me, you know that I was present in your feed at any time of the day, without any automation. I swear. Everything was done by hand. The Flash touch is visible on each of my notes—that's what defines my work.

I didn't meet all my goals, but I exceeded some of them. For example, I didn't expect to reach 16,500 followers; I was aiming for 5,000.

On the other hand, where I failed was on the stack. I expected to reach at least 0.1 BTC. In the end, I barely managed to reach half that — until yesterday, I was still at 0.04 BTC.

But there is also something that was not planned for, and which far exceeds all the numerical targets mentioned above: your trust.

My greatest achievement is having managed to earn it. Honestly, it was not something I had included in my forecasts. Trust cannot be planned or forced—it is built, day after day, note after note.

Beyond the numbers, that's what really matters. Everything can be measured except trust. And yet, today on Nostr, that's my most valuable asset.

Not to mention the wonderful people I have met here. For fear of forgetting anyone, I won't mention any names, but know this: I know your usernames, your photos, your writing style, your way of zapping. I have observed everything, taken everything into consideration, with the utmost respect. Thank you all, you have been the fuel for Flash, because without you I would have stopped a long time ago.

Before I leave you, I would sincerely like your feedback:

➥ What did you think of Flash’s work throughout 2025?

➥ What do you expect from me for the coming year?

As they say, it’s at the end of the dance that the musicians get paid. Here are the two ways to support my work ⤵︎

➥ Lightning address: flash@primal.net

➥ Bitcoin address: bc1qwn8ralumqgar7vqfhftr264a7dxp0akstwx9fq

Tysm man, don’t hesitate to take a rest after all that work ! Congrats!

⚡️⛏️ NEW - nostr:nprofile1qqsy67zzq5tc9cxnl6crf52s4hptdwhyaca5j7r8jwll535tdadedvcpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wd3skueqxd28ts has just surpassed 17,000 notes, all illustrated, verified, and sourced.

This is manual, patient work, carried out with the same rigor for more than 323 consecutive days.

This certainly makes Flash the highest human POW in the Nostr protocol, a symbolic record, the result of daily discipline and willpower without algorithms.

It is both a source of pride and an honor to have speedrun the only truly uncensorable information protocol on the Internet.

But beyond the numbers, it is above all proof that a single individual, armed with consistency and conviction, can compete with entire systems.

Flash was born as an experiment: it has become a testimony.

Here are the details for the POW level ⤵︎

➥ 17,000 / 323 = 52.632 notes per day

➥ 52.6 / 24 = 2.192 notes per hours

➥ 8 * 323 = 2,584 hours of work

➥ 10,300 + 17,000 = 27,300 traces of activity (notes and replies)

➥ 27,300/ 323 ‎= 84.52 traces of activity per day

➥ 84.5 / 24 ‎= 3.521 traces of activity per hours

This is the result of hard work 24/7.

Another thing you may have noticed is that I never retweet my posts because I have a principle in mind: if I say something twice, it means I said it once too many.

Thanks to the handful of loyal Nostrich people who support me every day.

You are the fuel for the account, and as you know, without gas, a car won't move.

This week, I asked a simple question: what do you think of Flash's work? One response stood out to me: "Underzapped"

I'm not even going to ask if you agree. Now that I've been told, it's obvious.

2026 promises to be a special year. I lost my job, the news came last week.

I now have two options:

➥ either make Flash my main activity for the first time

➥ or take a job that will prevent me from continuing at this pace on Nostr.

One thing is certain: things are going to change. For me, obviously. But also for you, if you've been following Flash since the beginning.

As usual, I write too much, and I know that at this point, I've already lost half of my readers.

But for those of you who are still here, I'll reward you: I'll tell you how I heard the news.

I receive a message from my boss. He calls me by my first name and asks if I'm okay. He wants to talk to me (which is weird because he never wants to talk to me), so I call him and learn that it's over and that I'm officially unemployed as of 2026.

He explained that it had nothing to do with my skills, but that he was being forced to make cuts due to budget restrictions. I'm such a professional that the only question I asked him was, "How are you going to manage without me?" (even though I shouldn't give a damn).

I won't forget that bastard, because the only time he asked me if I was okay in two years was the day he told me he was terminating my job.

Okay, I'll stop there. The game of fiat work is the same for everyone: we do what we can, as best we can…

thank you again for your work on Nostr and I wish you the best for the future.

🤣

I’m sure that people could believe this

I mostly use ChatGPT And Grok to have 2 points of view but I like Gemini as well
