⚡️🚨⚡️

My nostream public relay is up: wss://relay.hodl.haus

Hosted @ DigitalOcean (New York) with decent specs. Will evolve as I learn - please feel free to offer improvement suggestions. Currently running the standard setup.

Producer Jacob of Cafe Bitcoin is out again today, but I'm helping my dude out, streaming Cafe Bitcoin from Twitter into Nostr Nests.

🚨IMPORTANT NOSTR REPORT ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

The team at Nostr Report takes feedback from our readers seriously, and we make sure to incorporate your suggestions so that we can provide you with the best possible reporting. Many of you asked for an improved website, where you could easily find an archive of our reports, as well as a place to showcase our featured meme of the day.

As an ex - #Telegram proselytizer, I'm saddened by the fact that Telegram's privacy protections are almost totally absent, and by the lack of solid alternatives.

Lack of E2EE is a big no-no for chats, as it should be the default in all cases, and it's a shame that Telegram lacks it. #Matrix does this right, but from my testing all Matrix clients are wonky to use and not very user-friendly.

#Signal's good, but requires a phone number to register, which I'd rather not need, as it limits your interactions with strangers, with whom you don't want to share something as personal as a phone number.

#SimpleX seems like the most encouraging option right now. Totally encrypted, routed through #Tor, and removes even the most basic forms of #metadata (even usernames, if needed!). And it also has a relay-client architecture, like #Nostr.

Thoughts?

They put the #Bitcoin #BTC logo on the biggest tower in #Germany. I really hope it arrives here in #Brazil
