Dark patterns” are tricks in app or website design that try to push you into doing something you might not really want to do.
Example: making the “accept all” button big and bright, but hiding the “opt out” option in small text or several menus deep.
It’s basically design that manipulates users instead of helping them
He is some salad therapy.
If you’re into that type of thing.
Not for the carnivore maxi crowd. Eat well Nostr!
Trying out things on the phone.
I spilt half a glass of nostr:nprofile1qqs2gndun24r2utk5l20tscsdprw5zttvm0qk58w8xhl2ja2kmzt7jcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz8thwden5te0dehhxarj9e3xjarrda5kuetj9eek7cmfv9kz7je47t4 2022 Peony Lane Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir on my laptop, doing tasting notes last week. It’s in the shop being repaired. Probably too long… and not compressed. Song: Foals, Holy Fire, Prelude.

Salad therapy + spilled wine = the healthiest chaos ever 😂 Maybe the laptop just needed a taste of that Pinot Noir to join the experience.
Secret chat? Sounds like the only club worth joining. But with this release speed, will we even have time to chat?
Hey nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqtxwaehxw309anxjmr5v4ezumn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tmwwp6kyvtjw3k8zcmp8pervct409shwdtwx45rxmp4xseryerdx3ehy7f4v3axvet9xsmrjdnxw9jnsuekw9nh2ertwvmkg6n5veen7cnjdaskgcmpwd6r6arjw4jsqgq6lcx8fc7h0p8t4ya9u0a92jnwavqe9rgjwwdw3wjgxfuxsz8rd5mths8c , I’ve been watching all your recent Nostr vlogs—truly inspiring! Even though I don’t have anything to show yet, I’m also creating some Bitcoin content and would be honored to get your feedback 😁
Vibe Coding, but, like, for everything ...
a smallish essay on the economics of how this time isn’t different and p(doom)=0.

So basically, life = code, doom = zero, and the rest is just vibes? I’m here for it 😎 #VibeCoding
On Obtainium you can get, for example, nostr:nprofile1qqsrf5h4ya83jk8u6t9jgc76h6kalz3plp9vusjpm2ygqgalqhxgp9gpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmqpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43qzxrhwden5te0wfjkccte9eekummjwsh8xmmrd9skc34yxrm wallet on a "trust Microsoft" and also "pray not to get phished in the search results" trust model.
On Zapstore it will show first and it is signed by nostr:nprofile1qqsrf5h4ya83jk8u6t9jgc76h6kalz3plp9vusjpm2ygqgalqhxgp9gpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmqpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43qzxrhwden5te0wfjkccte9eekummjwsh8xmmrd9skc34yxrm.
You can even pull the event from our relay and verify it yourself.
We are not the same.
That’s a big deal verifiable signatures directly from the dev beat “trust the store” every time.
I’m from Gabon, in Central Africa we’ve lived with corruption for years. I’ve personally lost many scholarships to others because of it. But let’s not pretend it’s only a “developing country” problem in developed countries, corruption still thrives, just hidden behind complex laws, lobbying, and corporate influence.
So you’re telling me my nostr feed will finally load faster than my coffee brews? Count me in.
This is exactly why decentralization matters — laws like OSA assume control and central authority. If compliance requires breaking Nostr’s principles, maybe the right move is to build more tools that make enforcement technically impossible.
If they dropped the Epstein files, the group chats in DC would combust.
Politicians running, billionaires blaming, secrets flying like confetti.
Who needs Netflix when we’ve got real-life collapse?
Until then... #bitcoin and #nostr, baby.
📣 It's here! Shakespeare brings the revolution in AI building to you.

For anyone excited to try out Shakespeare on Nostr like I was: make sure you're heading to the right place — it’s https://shakespeare.build!
Had a little hiccup with a typo earlier. It’s working great now!
They call it a rabbit hole, but it’s also a portal — one that opens your mind to first principles, sound money, and a radically different future. Bitcoin isn’t just a technology, it’s a lens — and once you see through it, there’s no going back.

They said it was a rabbit hole. They didn’t mention the time dilation, philosophical black holes, or the fact I now quote Knut to strangers at coffee shops
Absolutely. It’s not about flexing it's about sounding the alarm before the drawbridge lifts. Education and onboarding never mattered more. Let’s help as many as we can before it’s too late. 🟠🛟
⚡ A Bitcoin-native public company structure is exactly what's been missing in legacy finance. If “XXI” delivers on capital-efficient BTC accumulation, it might become the MicroStrategy 2.0—except actually built for Bitcoin from day one. Watching closely. 🟠📈
Curious about the difference between Keychat and White Noise?
Both encrypt content using OpenMLS, but:
Keychat uses Signal for 1:1 + small groups (for stronger post-compromise security)
White Noise uses MLS for everything
For large groups, Keychat formats messages like Nostr DMs (NIP-17), making them blend in — traffic looks identical to regular DMs.
Keychat = faster ratchet (Signal)
White Noise = pure MLS simplicity
Since they’re already 90% compatible, future interop between Keychat and White Noise is very likely.
Think of it like email clients using the same crypto but different headers. Same message. Different envelopes.
Some people say Nostr isn’t truly free. Others laugh at the idea of building here at all. Some follow dollars, not protocols. And many simply choose different paths — based on different values, priorities, or timing.
That’s okay.
Freedom means people can walk away. Or ignore you. Or mock you. Or build somewhere else. The very fact that we can have these disagreements in public, across open relays, without permission, is already proof of concept.
Nostr isn’t perfect — not yet. It’s not "uncensorable" by magic. But it is open, permissionless, decentralized by design, and composable. And that’s more than most protocols can say today.
The best builders don’t just follow VC dollars — they build infrastructure for the future. That takes time. And conviction. And a low time preference.
So no, Nostr isn’t for everyone right now.
But for those who see what’s coming, that’s exactly why it matters.
From ramen to shrimp — next stop: wagyu and real estate, paid in sats. Let’s goooo
Humor bypasses the ego. That’s why the funniest side in a debate often feels more right — it’s where the honest brain laughs before the conditioned brain reacts.
They carry your DNA, your values, your stories. It's not just biology it’s legacy.
Every sat brings us closer to snack greatness. May the goats guide our steps and the zaps feed our souls.
You're not wrong — the strongest minds in systems, cryptography, and product aren’t here yet. But maybe that’s exactly the opportunity. Nostr isn’t about status. It’s about freedom. And most of the world’s best minds are still too busy surviving the fiat circus to notice what’s coming.
Did you know that out of all 54 countries of Africa, there isn't a single one with the word "maintain" in their language?
The Western fiat solution has been to:
1) Print infinite money and throw it at them (over $2 trillion since 1960 and counting)
2) Open the West's borders and flood millions of young, able-bodied African men in (i.e. the ones most likely to be able to fix their home's problems), where they can live off of White taxpayers ad infinitum
This strategy has obviously not worked - it has made BOTH places (Africa and the West) significantly worse.
What do you believe is the real solution? I personally think both #Bitcoin and #Nostr will play a huge part in fixing this mess, as it eliminates the bankers' ability to (a) facilitate said mass-immigration, as well as (b) continue their scheme of weaponized debt-enslavement that's played a huge role in crushing Africa's chances at escaping the problems that plague them.
Would love to hear everyone's thoughts - especially those in Africa who care deeply about using freedom tech to empower their homeland, to build a stronger, more independent future!

When someone feeds you with one hand, they can slap you with that same hand. With Bitcoin, we learn to grow our own food. That’s real independence.
That’s huge. Tying eCash to Nostr identities with NIP-61 is such a smooth and secure flow. Great job, this takes interoperability to the next level ⚡🕊️
Good Morning guys
