At one point, there were even a couple of Stargate novels. Now that you've sparked that memory, I'll have to see if digital copies exist as I'd love to read those again.

This fascinating article keeps mentioning that any cryptocurrency could theoretically be sent out over ham radio.

Any #XMR nerds willing to give this a go?

Are there companies making hemp TP yet? If so, how does their pricing compare to the mainstream stuff? I ask about pricing as normies won't purchase something that costs 5x.

I can appreciate Proton creating an alternative to Google's monopoly.

But on the other hand, should we be nervous about putting all of our eggs (ie data) in one basket?

When I first started on Nostr, I constantly jumped between web clients.

Now, I've upgraded to having both Primal and Amethyst on my phone. 😂

If we had fairly inexpensive, NFC-enabled cards that could be handed out to friends, family, and colleagues, I'd definitely use that.

Tapping on a phone or tablet could launch a page that leads newbies through key setup and then download of Amethyst, Primal, etc.

For older devices, the QR code on the back of the card would do the same.

Let's go!

Thanks for the speedy reply! That sounds brilliant. Are there any specific, self-hosted LLMs you'd recommend for such a use case?

I just started looking into Holesail, so forgive me if this is a total noob question.

Would Holesail allow a university or other institution to host their own LLM and then provide access to all students and academics? Or is it more for one-to-one access?

How many boosters are available now? I've not kept up at all.

Great interview. I may just have to pick up her books sometime soon. Have you read any of them yet?

GM nostr. Just having some coffee and signing this petition.

The internet archive had to take over half a million books down from their library due to a lawsuit. Sign the petition to help the internet archive library.

#coffeechain #internetarchive #reading

Legal battle aside, have any freedom fighters managed to back up and torrent those books?

What are the best meme accounts on Nostr?

Replying to Avatar franny

What I can surely say is, that #Nostr is here to stay. The idea of a decentralized future and our right to speak freely is inevitable. Ever since I’ve been on here my highest goal has been to support this still very little network of people as good as I can. Especially after such a big conference it’s a great deal to encourage people to contribute here.

I want to share some of my thoughts with you. About how you can support Nostr right now. Spread its importance and let it thrive. Add something if you got some thoughts on that.

💜 Ask questions. Nostr can still be very confusing but people are happy to help. I mean, we all know something and we will find out together and learn. No matter how stupid your question may seem, it isn’t. It’s helpful. Asking a question might look unaesthetic in your profile, but asking questions is human. Be human, the Nostrworld needs curiosity. Notes or events could be seen as a part of a big and endless flowing river. Flow with it.

💜 Share/Build stuff just for fun. Since Nostr is still in a very playful state. It’s sometimes hard to notice that you actually reach people. Or it feels like it’s just a few & you put it in relation to the work you put in. It can be very relieving to post out of pure joy for the protocol or for the thing you want to share. Without expecting too much. When you’re creating on Nostr today, you have to put lots of effort in, so make sure it’s fun.

💜 Engage. Engagement is like the heartbeat of the Nostr-Network. If you decide to be online, make sure to engage a little, so the creators feel seen. We’re social beings, & some may need more feedback than others, this is something we shouldn’t underestimate especially in this early state. No feedback is also feedback, support what you can identify with.

💜 Be the Nostr you want to see in the world. Your own perception of the protocol matters. While we all have very varying perceptions, we are naturally supposed to find the next best consensus. Try to imagine nostr in the future. Where do you see it? Contribute. Share your thoughts!

💜 Connect. Build community. Nostr is not just a new decentralized protocol, I view it as a massive innovation in online interaction. The future is not just bright, it will be different. And to grow the world towards that difference, connect with the people to inspire and to encourage each other to do better.

💜 Take time. To revolutionize the online social networks, I think it’s important to take your time when you engage or when you build. Behind every Npub there is a person with believes, believing something brings a more likely inflexible energy with it. If you decide to discuss the believes of others because they’ve decided to share them, it can be helpful to be open minded and to take your time to listen and to respond mindfully. Patience is power, whether you talk to others or when you build something. Just like ignoring and moving on.

💜 Talk about the other stuff. While Nostr got many social clients already, the other stuff may exceeds your imagination. Think about everything you need an identity for. Who knows where we’re going, but we’re becoming more decentralized to fight censorship and to bring more natural interaction into the online world.

💜 Onboard. Even if you’re unsuccessful. Bring it into the mind of people. This new technology is hard to explain. It takes a lot of time and a lot of minds to form the „What is Nostr?“ question. Don’t be afraid, be convinced. Trust in the future and the people.

💜 Every individual serves different purposes, realize your light and share it with us. Contribute in a way that aligns with you.✨🫂

It was a great experience to meet Nostriches, trying to onboard new Nostriches and listening to the different perspectives on Nostr at the BTC-Prague conference! Thanks for all the inspiration and encouragement. Love you guys. Let’s grow #TheNostr 💜🌱

What I'd be curious to see are guides to help smaller communities establish their own relays and whatnot for internal communications, publishing, etc.

For example, imagine you're a small book club, a house of worship, or a community center. You want to have a place where users can securely and semi-privately discuss relevant topics, share updates, etc.

You may not want to necessarily interact with the larger Nostr world (even if individual members may choose to do so).

A simple guide would be super helpful to help both the host organizations and their members to arrange something like this.

Anyone seen anything basic out there yet? No sense in reinventing the wheel.
