Lyn is great. I also like her takes.

Unfortunately, there is very little macro discussion here on #nostr… which makes me sad.

Which of these 3 do you vibe with the most?

For those of you who don't drink, mocktails are often considered the hardest to create well. In order to create a good mocktail it has to be well balanced in its flavor profile. With out alcohol, all you have left to judge the drink is the combination of flavors in juices, sodas, syrups, and infusions.

Building a mocktail menu is often the most challenging.

No need to be upset about the strategic reserve wording. We have 6m to tell them why it needs to be btc only. That is all. Yall whine too much

I’ve been in #onlyzaps mode for almost 2 days now. My takeaways:

1. Nostr feels less alive without reactions. It feels like nobody sees your notes. I’d be lucky to get 1 zap on a note and it feels like one person saw it. Of course, I know this is not the case but that’s how it comes across.

2. Damus specifically seems to not show all zaps until you open an individual note, so even in onlyzaps mode I see a fraction of interactions. This makes nostr feel even more barren.

3. Onlyzaps makes it really clear just how little people zap in terms of frequency.

I think removing reactions would be a net negative. It could even result in people just leaving at a higher rate.

On a personal note I missed reactions. A lot of times the chosen emoji is more fun than a zap. I know … crazy to say but it’s true. Also, hate to admit it but reaction engagement feels good. It’s cheap and all but does make you feel like your notes were more appreciated by someone. Zaps are definitely higher signal but at the current zap rate it’s just not sufficient to give the same feeling you get from reactions. Call my what you want, I’m just sharing my honest assessment.

That said, if people zapped more frequently and notes displayed zaps in a more fun and accurate way, perhaps that would be enough to replace reactions 🤷‍♂️

Been drinking raw milk for months with no digestive problems. Interested to try raw eggs now.

Yeah same. I wouldn't even mind posting 10-20% of the loan value as Bitcoin collateral which would remove almost all the risk for them.

Massive opportunity there.
