I don't believe there is a reliable way to do it because there can never be a reliable list of all relays. For any given set of relays you could probably count the "followers" (trusted contacts) of a particular user known to those relays, but it would be computationally pretty expensive.

It might be better set up on nostrplebs.com or some other domain that has access to many different relays.

This was a good beginning to the day. I got the nostr:nevent stuff working in more-speech. That turned out to be tricky because I had previously completely screwed up the way I encoded and decoded strings in non-standard bech32. To make a long story short I simply took the input string and turned it into a number, then took that number and successively divided it by 32 using the remainder to pick the encoding character. I figured I was done when the quotient was zero. Can you spot the error?

Anyway, I'm going to feed the dogs and then go on a bike ride. I'll put my earbuds in and listen to what Shapiro says about the Comer conference. That oughta be a hoot.

Hmmm. Trons is kind of a word. I mean there has been more than one Tron. I think Ronts and Torns ought to be words. And Sorn-T harkens back to Malacandra somehow.

Momentum perpetuates itself. Only friction, or some other opposing force, diminishes it. Nostr, however, has a force far greater than the friction and opposition. That force is freedom.

Nostr now has it's own momentum. Nobody is in control. Nobody can stop it. All we can do is ride along and enjoy the freedom and the scenery.

That's why we've made this place. And it's quite a place too.

Yes. I'm using more-speech. I don't know how other clients might do it. But as I understand it (and as I implemented it in more-speech) the string "nostr:" must be prepended to the "note1..." id. (The bech32 encoding of the note's id).

I was 9 when he gave that speech. I've lived through what has happened since. I wonder if we'll ever see people of that character in office again.

Public policy the captive of a Scientific, Technological Elite.

I think he was talking about Climate Change.

My style is definitely not for everyone.

If you liked that one, you might like all these others. Stay tuned, more are coming.

#[1] what do you suggest?

I recieve three kind:0 events from three different relays, all with different info and all with different dates.

Currently I accept the event with the latest date. However, there may be fields (e.g. nip05) missing from the latest that are in the ealier profiles. Should I merge them, or should I treat the newest one as GOLDEN? I'm thinking the latter since otherwise a user would have no way to remove a field like NIP05
