And there is no chatter between relays at all. There are some ways to get one relay to push info to another but thats not default behaivior. (Blastr is a good example of this) IMO its better that way.

It's just us, no trillion dollar company backing it up. We have to make due with what we have. I just hope devs will figure out ways to distribute the data faster and more efficient in the future.

Paid relays are a way to overcome the DDoS attack.

Look I’ll be honest. I’ve been a HUGE Nostr hater.

I honestly can’t fucking use this damn app and it makes me feel like an idiot. I have NO IDEA why you guys like it

I follow people that I never end up following, I write messages I can’t see, and the only advice I get is to do a bunch of random technical hoo-ha

But yesterdays Twitter hack was a BIG wake-up call. I got almost no help from centralized Twitter

So I’m going to commit to spending 30 minutes a day to try to figure Nostr out, okay? 🤝

Day 1. Let’s go ⚡️

many of the most well-known Bitcoiners haven't overcome the relatively small learning curve for Nostr

we have a lot of user experience & onboarding improvements to make. I'm still very bullish, early Bitcoin wallets were far more daunting, with a far smaller network of people who could help you along.

regardless, wherever we're headed with this protocol, we're going together. Onward.
