Currently Run Bitcoin Node, Tor Exit Relay, Nostr Relay. Open Source Contributor

That's a tough one... I got my first spam reply "thank me later" on Nostr today. I can see the value of paid relays and I'm considering running a one-time-fee relay myself.

In principle I'd be willing to pay a fee per post (maybe around 10 sats?) but in practice I wonder whether I'd find myself thinking twice about replying to people or posting in general. Not because it's expensive but because ANY fee puts in place a psychological barrier...

I just got a zap from you (🧡 thanks) and I use WoS so it's at least partially working

So... I had Nostream working, stopped it and restarted it only to encounter file permissions issues with the postgres stuff in the /data/ folder.

No issues on GitHub about that... Gonna try clean and restart but rather confused.

Not my thing, but I guess there could be relays dedicated to it then it's your choice whether to use them.

I'm trying to quit but it still has its use for nice interest groups and long-form content.

If you can recommend an alternative I'm all ears!

I managed to set up two local businesses with BTCPay / LNPOS but neither of them kept it long-term because they didn't like the volatility. They just want GBP into their tills/the bank. They can't afford to hold long-term and they don't want the hassle of conversion short term 😟

Yeah, it's great. Hopefully the positivity will stay as the network grows. I'm still getting to grips with Nostr in terms of finding people to follow and curating my feed. Very optimistic though!

Wish I could be there this year. Really enjoyed last year's conf and that looks interesting

Thinking of running a Nostr relay. Any recommendations for the best one? Taking Nostream for a spin at the moment but would appreciate suggestions.

I've never smoked but I hear it's a hard addiction to beat. There's always something people could do better in their lives.

That said it's always good to have an incentive (think long term) to quit if you smoke 🤗

Being here and Masto for F(L)OSS stuff feels like I found my people. Like the early internet again.

Tor has been generally flaky for many months for me, I think the DDOS is still ongoing, so it may not be an iOS-specific issue?

Not them, and not currently in El Salvador but I have heard good things about escapetoelsalvador.org

They handle the paperwork for you and they have helped out some well-known guys in the coiner community.
