You can see it in the relays list on Damus. The paid ones have a $ in front of them

yes, paid relays can filter the spams pretty well

Yeah, I think once we get some more apps and use cases, this will become easier.

The Twitter-like text messages are cool, but I hardly know anyone IRL who uses Twitter and would appreciate this.

On the other hand, almost everyone in my friend group uses Facebook for scheduling in-person events with friends. Not because they like Facebook per se, but because everyone else is mostly on there, so it’s easy to coordinate.

With Nostr, you just need everyone to have a key pair and they can use whatever UI to do what they need to do without having to set up another account.

Yes I’ve considered that.

However, most pre-Bitcoiners are still on Twitter, so there are benefits to continuing to spread the good news there during the transition

What’s Twitter?

No shade on Zion - I legit can't imagine creating an app with a deep social layer and not using nostr as the base protocol 🤙

You care about serial numbers, they're just built into products that hide them. The same can be done for ordinals (inscriptions)

People value all sorts of things for seemingly arbitrary reasons. I don't care much, but other ppl will value these things

Hello World!

On #nostr now but still dgaf about udrinals

Anyone who follows, reposts, and comments I am gonna 69 zap until I run out of sats. Go!

Ordinal theory is actually interesting (not to be confused with being valuable). The issue is effectively “so what?.. you hold some print number of sat since the genesis block”.

Any inscription is not unique, or won’t be for long. Same basic issue as NFTs.

And serial numbers are useful for physical goods (counterfeiting or contractual identification/warranty) or in centralised systems (phone home software licensing, or order tracking)… otherwise they hold no real value.

When do you last remember ever checking a serial number in real life (outside of a business relationship) for any reason? Never.

Two things that hold no real value joined together doesn’t create value. Doesn’t mean a bull rush and burst cycle won’t happen… and “opportunists” won’t fill the mempool hoping to cash out on a craze.

It Bitcoin didn’t have a free market mechanism for transaction fees we would be in far more trouble. This is just part of a cycle.
