ill take pics and send them to you to make you FOMO more. because im a good friend 😉

i need to follow you :🐸:

you can add it.

and actually, looking at your relay list, you're using MANY free relays, INCLUDING my wss://nostrelites.org relay. 👀👀👀

just because many people here value proof of work does not mean that those without means to pay for relays or services are undervalued. nostr being open and permissionless means that it's open to everyone, even those that you would call "freeloaders" or as i may call them, people from developing nations that are just looking for the freedom to communicate.

also, i have not charged 1 sat for my relay wss://nostrelites.org and it's a very popular relay that continues to grow. and soon it will be a default global relay for Amethyst. i don't call these people that use it freeloaders. i call them community members and friends.

Well you see, that's where you're wrong. Let me explain.

...

Builders and creators are building here on Nostr. Why? Because Nostr is open. Builders can build whatever they want to build and creators can create whatever their heart desires. From clients and services to communities and content. And the best part? It's all powered by hard money and a value for value circular economy. Find your niche and let your creativity flourish. 🤙🏻💜🫂

🎶🎶🎶 This will be epic.

I'm excited for this event. Onboarding musicians will be fun.

Thanks 🤣🤣🤣

Awesome! Look forward to it. 🫂💜🤙🏻

oh wow. i hope you make a speedy recovery, Zoe! we need you strong for Vegas!

i wonder when we'll have the first TV show or movie that will be 100% AI generated. maybe a mini-series special? that could be fitting.

awww, who's a good girl, who's a good girl!? c'mere buddy! aww you're such a good doggie. you're such a good doggie. do you want some rubs and scratches? *hugs* *rubs* *scratches*

i don't know anything about pubky except that they didn't build on nostr, so im not interested.

i know this isn't helpful. i just love doggies. someone much smarter than derek will most likely answer.

*hugs* *rubs* *scratches*

you forgot to load himem.sys welcome to nostr!

wild.

welcome to nostr!

yes, if you've been on the internet over the last 22 years.

that alienates brand new users. it's not good. we already have problems with people thinking nostr.com charges you to register a user account and use nostr. this would justr add to that confusion and turn people away.

absolutely. this is the way.

it's a bad metric because it's broken and can't be fixed. we don't want a central authority of follower counts. plus, follower counts just leads to egos, emotions, and generally are a dredge on legacy social media. it won't do us any good here either. we should get away from this unhealthy mindset.

Yep! I have some other old ones too. As long as they're up and being used, it's liquidity well being utilized.

Show me a computer that's cheaper.

Fiatjaf is definitely on the right, and the right image is a poorly drawn Archon.

Twitter was down earlier, meaning it couldn't be accessed. Most tech news websites reported it and I couldn't get it to load either when I tested.

It will always be Twitter. Just like saying Fetch, it's not going to happen.

You are right that mentioning sending people back is odd. Hmm.

I haven't seen any protests about illegals though. I only see anti-fascist protests and Israel/ Gaza protests.

Universities generally don't police speech allowing all sides to protest.

He did not. You're making excuses.

sure. people would have the option to connect to their existing node or create a new node or enter a NWC connect string.

What is "remote signing" NIP-46 and NIP-55 Nostr key management? #HOWDONOSTR

Across Nostr's ecosystem, where decentralization and user control are paramount, managing private keys securely should be a top priority. There is no central authority to reset your "password" or help you recover your "account" if your private key is leaked. Once leaked, your "account" is essentially burned and you no longer have control.

Remote signing your social transactions with NIP-46 (Nostr Remote Signing) and NIP-55 (Android Signer Application) provides a safer and more convenient way to interact with Nostr applications without exposing your private key.

By entering your private key into multiple applications, you increase the risk of it being compromised. To protect your key, only trust a minimal number of applications and avoid entering it into more apps than absolutely necessary. Proper private key management with remote signing applications can help here.

What are NIP-46 and NIP-55?

NIP-46 (Nostr Remote Signing) and NIP-55 (Android Signer Application) allow you to use a remote signer—a separate tool or device—to approve actions on your behalf. Instead of entering your private key into every app, you authorize trusted applications to sign messages remotely. This lets you create temporary keys that can sign events on your behalf, without exposing your private key. You can limit what these keys can do, such as only allowing them to post notes but not change your profile.

Using the NIP-46 method, a user would login to a Nostr application with a long string similar to this example:

bunker://?relay=&relay=&secret=

Using the NIP-55 method, a user would simply tap or click a 'Login with Amber' or 'Login with Android Signer' button in their Nostr application. All of the heavy lifting and configuration items are handled by the Android signer.

Why use remote signing?

* Better Security – Your private key stays in a secure location, such as Knox, NAK, or Keycast, rather than being exposed in multiple applications.

* More Control – You decide which apps can sign messages and revoke access anytime.

* Seamless Experience – There is no need to copy and paste private keys between apps. It just works in the background.

How can you use it?

The easiest method is Amber for Android. (A new application named nowser recently launched. I have not tested or used this application. However, it supports Android, iOS, Windows, and Linux.)

* Amber: https://github.com/greenart7c3/Amber or download from nostr:npub10r8xl2njyepcw2zwv3a6dyufj4e4ajx86hz6v4ehu4gnpupxxp7stjt2p8!

* nowser: https://github.com/haorendashu/nowser (Remember, I have not used this application. Please use at your own risk!)

If you're more technical and you have a Bitcoin node or a Nostr relay, you may want to consider running either NAK, Knox, or Keycast. These will require a dedicated computer or server.

* NAK (Nostr Army Knife): https://github.com/fiatjaf/nak (This requires almost no setup. You download a simple program and run it with the command 'nak bunker' and keep the terminal window open or run this on a server.)

* Knox: https://gitlab.com/soapbox-pub/knox (nostr:npub1q3sle0kvfsehgsuexttt3ugjd8xdklxfwwkh559wxckmzddywnws6cd26p actually wrote a great article on this nostr:naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzqprpljlvcnpnw3pejvkkhrc3y6wvmd7vjuad0fg2ud3dky66gaxaqqykkmn00qkkyet5vyhjuvda)

* Keycast: https://github.com/erskingardner/keycast (nostr:npub1zuuajd7u3sx8xu92yav9jwxpr839cs0kc3q6t56vd5u9q033xmhsk6c2uc wrote more about Keycast here: nostr:note1327htu9gr327h38yu5f6tueye4cajp3kc69cs3gl7w6q6rz09ufqukl74j)

Examples of Android applications with support:

* Amethyst, Wavlake, Fountain, 0xchat, Coracle, Flotilla, and more!

Examples of iOS applications with support:

...

Examples of Web applications with support:

* Coracle, Nostrudel, Jumble, Snort, Nests, Habla, and more!

Many, many Nostr applications support NIP-46 or NIP-55. However, popular applications such as Damus and Primal do not support these login methods at this time. If your favorite application does not support these login methods, you'll need to ask your app developer and zap them accordingly 😉

Happy remote signing!

This website doesn't seem to very overly accurate, but it's all public information and very transparent. It just needs to be displayed better. Nostrudel does a good job for this.

It's not working. I can't zap.

good morning / good night 😉 lemme test your lightning address!

#notedeck now has a built in algo feed, if you choose to add it to a column. it's essentially the same as the existing DVM feed "One per follow" which sufaces only the latest note from all of your contacts. that way people that post often (guilty) do not drown out people that do not post as often. very cool.

Restoring Your Contacts on Nostr - #HOWDONOSTR

Managing contacts on Nostr can be trickier than it seems. Switching apps or relays can sometimes lead to accidental loss of your contact list. Thankfully, there are several ways to restore your contacts. Here’s a brief guide:

1. Using the Nostr Profile Manager / Follows Manager

Visit https://metadata.nostr.com or https://follows.nostr.com. To restore your contacts, you’ll need a browser extension:

- For Desktop: Use Nostr Connect on Chrome browsers that support extensions.

- For Android: Use Kiwi Browser with Nostr Connect.

- For iOS: Use the Nostore app extension for Safari.

2. Using Nostur (iOS)

The Nostur app notifies you when it detects a new version of your contact list and offers options to restore or approve changes.

- Important: You must already be a Nostur user before losing your contact list.

- Download Nostur: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/nostur-nostr-client/id1672780508

3. Using Citrine (Android)

The Citrine relay runs locally on your phone, enabling contact restoration from a backup.

- Important: Citrine must be set up before your contacts are lost.

- Learn more: https://github.com/greenart7c3/Citrine or nostr:npub10r8xl2njyepcw2zwv3a6dyufj4e4ajx86hz6v4ehu4gnpupxxp7stjt2p8.

4. Using Primal Premium

If you’re a Primal Premium user, go to the Nostr Tools section and select "Contacts Backup." You can view all backups and choose a restore point.

Good luck!

If you are new here from #TikTok, first of all, I'm sorry a government could ban your social platform. Protocols are better! You'll see.

Second, welcome to Nostr and the decentralized social future! 🫂🤙🏻💜

Third, make an introduction post, using the #introductions hashtag so Nostriches can find you easier and welcome you!

Fourth, follow the hashtags #TikTok and #TikTokRefugee to follow fellow TikTok migration folks.

If you have any questions, just ask!

I see almost zero Mastodon content besides the half a dozen ones I follow. Maybe you need to find tune your relays and your feeds a bit more?

Some might wonder why Nostr needs a bridge to Bluesky or the Fediverse, but that's not the right question. The real question is: what’s holding us back from building them? Open protocols are far superior to centralized, closed platforms. Nostr is powerful.

Ladies and gentlemen, we gottem.

We did it! 4M Zaps!

What is Zapvertising? #HOWDONOSTR

Zapvertising is a new form of advertising on the Nostr protocol. It allows businesses to pay users by directly promoting their products or services in their user's notes. When a user or business Zaps a note, they send a small amount of bitcoin to the note's creator. Since these are just payments sent over the Lightning network, the sender can attach any piece of content to the note field. This can be a link to a product image, a video, a podcast, video, etc. The creator receives a notification that they have been Zapped along with an attached note. The user's Nostr app then displays the image, link, etc. for the user to engage with, open, and view.

Zapvertising is a more direct and personal form of advertising than traditional advertising. It allows businesses to connect with potential customers on a more individual level. It is also more transparent, as users can see exactly how much money is being paid for each zap.

The benefits of Zapvertising on Nostr are as follows:

It is a more direct and personal form of advertising.

It is more transparent than traditional advertising.

It is more cost-effective than traditional advertising.

It is more effective at reaching a targeted audience.

It can help businesses build relationships with potential customers.

Zaps are sent via the Lightning Network, a decentralized payment network that is built on top of Bitcoin. This makes Zapvertising fast, cheap, and secure. All you need is a Bitcoin Lightning wallet to get started.

How much is a user's attention worth to you? The larger the Zap sent, the more likely the potential customer is to notice and see your Zapvertisement.

If you are looking for a new way to advertise your business, #Zapvertising on Nostr is a great option. It is a more effective and affordable way to reach your target audience, and it can help you build relationships with potential customers.
