I hope this is no too much. TLDR is try Primal.

I hear people talk about Amethyst on Android, and I know Primal is on Android, but I'm on iOS right now where I use Damus and Primal. On the desktop, I mostly use Primal, but I also use Coracle, Snort, and I just started with Iris. The advantage of Primal is that it uses an aggregation server that draws from all relays that it knows about. There are some people that think that violates the decentralization of Nostr, but Primal has open-sourced their code and they encourage others to set up aggregation servers. They believe in decentralization, but they also believe aggregation improves user experience.

The result is that I see more posts and better statistic on Primal, but their clients are less mature at this point. They are well funded and should quickly get better.

One other thing to be aware of is care of your private key. Pasting it into a web app is considered less secure than a well know, open-source client like Amathyst or Primal. On web apps, I use the Alby browser extension, which has a Bitcoin Lightning wallet and will manage your Nostr keys. It seems to be trusted by the people I follow.

Any recommendations for a newer Nostr? What is your client of choice?

Welcome to Nostr. As you can see, I've been on it for around 9 months, so although I'm not an expert, I have learned a few things, so let me know if I can help on anything.

Zap received- thanks! 👍🫂💜

I’m grateful for your good vibes and your help ❤️

Grateful my boyfriend got into bitcoin and taught me how to set up my own wallet.

Perfect! Did it.

Why I can’t zap you?

Among other things, your body is basically a pharmacy, waiting for you to write it a prescription and reward you with feel good drugs through the actions you take that benefit your body. The easiest way to get these natural made feel good drugs from your body is to work out, eat fresh whole foods, and get a good sleep each night.

For the diet: preferably protein/fat based, keep the carbs to a minimum, and cut out all processed foods/sweets/sodas/alcohol/ drugs to go hand in hand in hand with the working out. Meal prep for a few days at a time helps make this easier ... Example: Make a batch of hard boiled eggs to eat for the week so it is easier to succeed with a busy schedule.

For the workouts: strength training and cardio. Take baby steps at first so you don't burn out, but be consistent, even when you're not feeling like it. You will be sore at first, but I promise it will feel good physically after each workout, which will translate to better mental and emotional health. There is a reason runners talk about a runners high...

These are some of the lowest hanging fruit to get your body, mind and emotions in a better place.

So... What should you do today? Start with a 30-45 min walk or run, do push ups/pull ups/sit ups, eat a good steak with eggs/ drink plenty of water, and get good sleep. Rinse and repeat. I guarantee you will get a lasting feeling of more energy to use each day, and have more self confidence if you give this an honest effort every day for a month or two. Then after a while it becomes a habit.

Hope you have a productive weekend friend. Much love and I believe in you! <3<3

good morning 💜

what should i do today? 🤔

Why is the Federal Reserve's inflation target 2%?

Because they want inflation to be low grade theft. At 2% it takes 34 years to dilute the value of the currency by 50%.

On generational timescales, theft becomes quaint. It feels good to reminisce about "the good ol' days" when you could see a movie for a dollar or enjoy a night out on the town for 20 bucks.

Whereas when you remember being able to buy a week's worth of groceries for $100 a few years ago, the memory spurs anger and despair. This is dangerous to the overlords...

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 US budget deficit for July comes in at $221 billion 😱

feeling a little cowboy 🤠

OK that being said how do we then buy a cold storage wallet and computer or log in to anywhere to keep your #bitcoin safe and completely under your private control?

Hmm 🤔

Just a small test — giving out 150,000 sats to people who drop an area I should research in cutting edge BTC dev! Starting now! Will be more later.
