First Nostr post for me. Let’s see where this goes. #bitcoin

Lol 😂

This is so disgusting it's funny

ok, I'm a brand new non technical user, first heard of NOSTR in a libertarian chat on Telegram, a few months ago. Yesterday on X, Reason posted an article "Nostr is a community-run digital network highly resistant to censorship and corruption." It caught my attention, so I found and joined this new platform for me. My interest are Canadian libertarian politics, general economics, general trucking as I'm a simple truck driver for a living, the carnivore lifestyle for my health and my family is most important to me.

As a non technical user, I must engage in my own learning curve and discover how I and this platform community can mutually benefit from my limited participation.

Cheers

Do you need a pilot license to fly a helicopter? 🚁

So, my dad had a heart procedure earlier today. Everything went well and he was sent home. We're now in triage at the hospital again because his heart rate spiked for no good reason and that is... Concerning.

So, if you're the praying type, please do so for healing and discernment on the part of the medical staff.

this is actually the lifetime struggle of a backend engineer. it's easy to just slap on lipstick onto a poorly designed engine, but its not going to make it perform better. maybe new bells and whistles every then keeps users happy, but it's not going to ever change the game unless you throw out your original prototype and build it right.

this is what I've done with nostrdb and notedeck, and I've designed it in a way so that I can backport it into iOS. it just took a year or so to build a database from scratch and prove out the new model/prototype. feels a bit like building a game engine from scratch... lots of upfront work but it will be so worth it.

It will be the foundation for every damus client going into the future. I feel much more confidant building on top of this new tech than the original iOS prototype.

I didn't really know what I was doing when I made Damus. damus is one of the oldest clients in active use, and has accumulated lots of cruft. It doesn't even work in the outbox model. The new local relay model makes the outbox model possible in damus, which has been damus' biggest criticism.

but yeah, sometimes its hard to explain all this, so I'm ok with people saying I suck in the meantime. it's probably too hard to communicate why I'm doing what I'm doing, but I'll keep trying!

Come on, be truthful now, how many times a week do you shower? 🚿 😜

criticism is good, but keep in mind many nostr devs are working on this in the spare time, or are taking lower pay so that they can work on this because they believe in it. nostr is an experient, a protocol. It's not polished. There are bugs. It's not a VC venture with hundreds of millions of funding, designers, and large teams of people building polished products. It's an R&D lab. adjust your expectations accordingly. Sure you can say we suck and aren't working hard enough, but is that really productive? We're trying our best folks. These apps are non-trivial to build! Especially if you want to make them fast 🏎

What is the fastest way to explain public key cryptography to a room full of boomers?

I don’t think there is a better place on the internet than here on #nostr.

Seriously, why are you all so nice?

Hey I’m new hereee #introduction

I want to see how effective "purple pilling" really is. I think it's not, but prove me wrong.

If you came to nostr because a specific person pitched it and "onboarded" you and you're still here 1 month later, prove me wrong and tag that person.

I have put NIP-26 delegation support back into gossip.

As a punishment for taking it out of gossip in the first place, I swear that I will, upon midnight, slaughter a sheep and spread it's entrails over my naked body, beating my breast at the moon and whailing, asking the universe why oh why did I think it was okay to remove unused code? Never again. I will from this day forward take a vow to always make sure the code base grows and grows and grows without bounds supporting even VHS and even going so far back as to support arsenical bronze as well as tin-based bronze. And with this arsenical bronze knife I cut myself, mixing my blood with that of the slaughtered sheep, wrapping myself in black sackcloth and covering myself in ashes I shall wander this Earth as an outcast and evil nostr developer, bearing the stench, wearing the large letter C pinned to my sackcloth.... the C of "centralization". Because as every 5 year old knows, if you remove code that nobody uses, that is centralization.

If Russell Brand is speaking about freedom of speech at the Bitcoin Conference, why isn't he on Nostr? 🤔

I’m at the part where he goes over high time preference vs. low time preference. Holy crap Bitcoin finally clicked for me 100%. 🤯 nostr:note1hmfwy8jvachaugmaevjxlawaca6fuke0qh74uzlryl657eldvxcs0zkv89

Is it true that Justin Trudeau is the son of Fidel Castro?

Nostr, how do you make grilled cheese sandwiches? With butter, olive oil, or mayonnaise? I'm a butter maxi, myself.

I get a total of 15, what’s yours? 😂🫂💜
